"Suppers Ready" is a voyage through the history of mankind, comparing the relationship between a man and woman as two halves of the same soul to that of the first man and woman, [[wikipedia:Adam and Eve|Adam and Eve]], along with their troubles from the Beginning of time. It runs through history showing the different lives these people have lived apart from each other, from great and bloody battles (wandering in the chaos) through to the modern day (reference to Churchill). Through all of those lives they have learnt difficult lessons and have come to realize that the path of God within them was the only path. Once that was known both could reunite (can't you feel our souls ignite). The life cycle was complete and they could achieve their personal revelation as described in the Bible and enter the New Jerusalem. | |||
"Suppers Ready" refers to the [[wikipedia:Last Supper|Last Supper]] at which a goblet was used and which held the blood of Christ. A goblet was later brought to the UK by [[wikipedia:Joseph of Arimathea|Joseph of Arimathea]] and revered throughout history as the [[wikipedia:Joseph_of_Arimathea#Holy_Grail|Holy Grail]]. At Christ's [[wikipedia:Second Coming|second coming]], which will be heralded by [[wikipedia:Gabriel|Gabriel]], God's messenger angel, the grail will be used to cleanse the waters of the world. | |||
