Egyptian military council said the decision to disband the country's parliament should be implemented, after President Mohammed Mursi ordered parliament to return to work.
The military closed the parliament last month following a court decision. Recent intervention was seen as a challenge and a warning against a new president was inaugurated last week.
Military council said they were optimistic that "all institutions of the state" will respect the laws and constitution. The BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo said Egypt's political peace seems to have no effect.
The masses gathered in Tahrir Square ahead of a parliamentary meeting at 10.00 local time (14:00 GMT), as resistance to military decisions.
'The binding and final'
Statement of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) will be infuriated the Muslim Brotherhood. Brotherhood members believe that the military would not respect the law by giving them the power to dissolve parliament last month.
On Monday, the Supreme Constitutional Court issued a decision refusing Mursi previous day to reunite the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated parliament.
The court said the decision dated June 14 was binding and final. But military units are stationed outside the parliament building is gone and some lawmakers re-enter the building since the parliament was dissolved.
The BBC reported that since the court itself has not ordered the dissolution, the Mursi can not be said against the decision of the court.
Regardless of political tensions, President and Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who heads SCAF, appeared together in a military cadet graduation ceremony Monday.
