Further, as we remember, the text states: The fair-haired genus with the assistants, his escaper Ismail will be victorious and sevenholm with special advantages [in it] will receive. Then the brutal internecine brand will begin. Constantinople's seizure of Konstantinople will be easily, but, taking the city, the winners will face the opposition of the countries of the hostile camp, which will require them to be part of their privileges. And since the war that arose from here will be no Christian-Muslim, but an interchristian character, then it is said about "internecine brave."
And a triple voice will sound: "Stop it, stop with fear ...!". Supernatural interference, curling the deadly hatred of opponents, there is a sign of the grace of God among the innumerable war. When hesitated by reckless thirst for blood, their recovery scream will fade a human-loving and merciful God to save those who believes from the fratricidal slaughter - directly generating the illusory "civilization".
And having hurried to the gum, they will gain her husband there, truly wondrous and strong. This will be your ruler, for he is kind to me, and you, accepting it, will fulfill my will.
Following the wonderful cessation of the fratricide, the Lord points out where to find a true chief and leader who will bring to life the world and universal way.
Kutlumushovskaya manuscript
Another not less remarkable text of a prophetic character, previously dated 1053, was found in Kutlumush monastery on the Holy Mountain. It contains twenty-four predictions, most of whom have now been fulfilled:

Sieu will be, this will make it. Amen. Amen. Amen. "AZ. esm Alpha and Omega, first and last " (). The end is the uniform of the true Orthodox faith of herd. Slave of Christ, true God.
Wisted to interpret this prophecy from the point of view of "common sense" will be mistaken in endless labyrinths. And therefore, it should be preferred to explain it from the standpoint of faith, because it seems impossible to man, "perhaps God" (see).
The dating of Kutlumushki text 1053 is inaccurate and is most likely with the error of the correspondence, which does not detract from the values \u200b\u200bof most predictions - quite concrete and carried out throughout the 20th century. Resorting to several other symbols and images, this prophecy is still very close to the previous one. We will leave it part of it aside as the facts relating to it are well known. Well, before the burning topic of the Third World War or Planetary Nuclear Threat, will the "small leaders" of this world of this means in all means, what a common blow amth to and handed them human madness? But any mistake here is fraught with the death of the universe! But " strong Mira"Do not retreat, despite the protesting voice of most peoples.
And even some uncommordableness of this prophecy (who comes mainly where the events say, and today expected in the future) does not cancel, in our opinion, his obvious infants. Symbols, allegory, non-evalculation, often neglect of the chronological connection - here is the usual framing of a prophetic word, the truth of which is quite detected only at the end of the events they open. Expressions "Mount all living on earth, ready-made hell" and "widespread despair on earth" cannot relate to the situation until 1950, when it arose nuclear weapon. For ordinary weapons, however perfect, did not imagine a worldwide threat and could not cause "universal despair." But today, when for counting seconds you can destroy the entire planet several times, the prediction of centuries-old prescription comes true in our eyes. The main sign of the modern era should be an equity to recognize the Third World War, for the great disasters that are interpreted all around, closely approached. The first of the prophecies considered by us (the inscription in the Konstantinovaya Tomb) speaks of the "cruel interne-friendly brahi", the second - about two "thirteen mutually edges", when the blood poured in the sea will reach, as we will see from other texts of similar content, the Gold Horn. And the signs of the ambulance are already evident.
Prophecy of St. Andrew Yurody
Associated with the name of another mogood husband and relating to the first third of the X century, this prophecy is completely according to the previous and fills a lot of what they are silent. It is said, in particular, that Constantinople will be devoted to the hands of Muslims and the brilliant Byzantine civilization will come to an end, but it will rise in his own magnificence after two terrible shocks, which coincide with the world war sent for sins and retreat of our time. Answering the question of one of the students about the future of the capital, the saint opens to him that by the grace of God it was encountered to spend.
Here are the most significant fragments of this prophecy.
"Holiday, who is appointed to dominate many peoples, will be challenged for the integrenikov ... But it goes that he will open internal access to himself by Agariansky and that great people will kill the sword. I say that there will be a fair-haired genus, whose name is concluded in an ax of twenty-four letters, connected in the right order, and sinners feet on floors eliminated. Mount them from two industries whose swords are similar to the wind, and sickles who have a copper copper-red in the harvest, do not reversal and leave nothing ... In the last days, the Lord God king from poverty will restore [in Grad] with the truth is great. And there will be a world on the likeness of the world, former in the days of Noah, because they will not be more fighting. And because there will be no war on Earth, spread their swords on plows, sickles and [other] agricultural tools. And the face of His face will turn to the east and smirrites the sons of Agari, because the Lord is pregnuting on them for the lawlessness Sodomskoe, which they are creating. Of these, many will accept the holy baptism and at the pious king of the one in honor will be, others it will destroy, will burn fire and [any other] violent death will betray. In those days, everything will be restored, and Illirin [will become part of the Power] Romeyev, and Egypt will acquire their gates. And it will be imposed [the king] to his despondent on the surrounding peoples, and will conquer a fair-haired genus, and the haters will defeat their own. And the kingdom will keep for thirty-two years, the seas and gifts will not be charged for twelve years. It will restore the ruined treasury and the saints of the saints will rebuild. It will not be in those days neither litigation, nor the face [royal] all the earth will be afraid, and all the sons of human will punish him from fear to be chaste, and among the nobles of his every lawmaker destroy ... Then the joy and fun will come , and many products from the earth and the sea will occur. And it will be, as it was in the days of Noah's days ... When the dominion of His blowjob, the beginning of evils will come. "
So, the rest of Constantinople with Christians is predicted here and, which is especially important, the Board of the Piece of the Tsar, acting by God's command and believing the end of the global confusion. Briefly described the temporary celebration of the Christian faith and the custody of the world with long-suffering nations, so that they managed to prepare for the Great Brass with the coming antichrist. For, according to the fathers, we do not accelerate the coming of the antichrist only when we do not participate in sins and lawlessness of your time or sympathetic thoughts.
This period is represented by the holy limit implementation of every good and spiritual truth, the latest "golden age", on which the subsequent generations will inconsistency will inconsistencies. For he follows the beginning of the middle and the end of disasters, when the prophetic word of the theologian comesmed: "Mount living on earth ... Because the devil in a strong fury" ().
Prophecies Methodius Patarovsky
Under the name of Methodius Patarovsky, two saints of her husband are known. The first martyrs suffered in 312 by R. X., the other to which the prophecy, which cited below, lived in the IX century.
"And the fair-haired genus will own a sevenholmium of five or six [months]. And the potions will be put in it, and many of them will be destroyed for the saints. And will dominate the east predetermined three [term?], And after this, some kind of self-teleste, and for him, a fierce wolf ... And they will come to the confusion of saddles, that on the northern side, and will move with the force and fury and the greatness, and They are divided into four bosses, and the first calls near Ephesus, the second - near melagia, the third - near Pergamum, the fourth - near Vhyphony. Then peoples inhabiting in the southern country will be rebeling, and the Philip is the Great with eighteen tribes, and they will be glad to sevenholmia, and will begin the battle, as it was not yet, and it will rush inside the gates and the passages of him, and the human blood flows the river, so the deep Sea climbs from blood. Then the ox is terrified and the stone is dry illegal. Then the horses will be and heard the voice from heaven: "Stop! Stop! Peace to you! Pretty ignition is wrong and indecent! Sexide to the des's-living country, sevenholmia, and will gain a husband standing near two pillars in the humility of the Great, the light and righteous, who endure a great poverty, harsh down, but the spirit of meek "... and the command from the angel will be erected:" Put it to the king and To put the sword in His despondent with the words: "True, John! We strengthen and defeat their support. " And, having accepted the sword from Angel, the Ismailian, Ethiopians and any kind of kind are wrong. They will be divided with it with the Ismailians into three parts, and the part of the first sword will kill, part the second will discoverate, part third, which in the east, will conquer. And at the return of it [from the east], the treasures of the earth will be rejected, and it will be enriched, and they will not have a beggar, and the Earth will give the fruit of their storm. And they snap all weapons on plows and sickles. And his reign will be thirty-five years old. "
So, the first Natisk of the "Blind-High Soda" will be rapid and successful, and it is clear that the new aliens will mysteriously serve the fishery of God, because they will end the end of the deasurement times. The five-month period necessary to get plant-planted at sevenholmia may mean the time for which the allied powers are made to the speech of the Allied Power Supplement, the "Philip Great with eighteen tribes". The above-mentioned places of military parking points point to the colossal number of aliens, which, according to other prophecies, will reach two hundred million. Sins and the wickedness of these peoples encourage their sacrifices on the altar of materialism and humanism. Recall the word of the Holy Apostle Paul: "The misunderstanding of their heart was overshadowed. Calling yourself wise, distraught ... And the creatures served instead of the Creator ... And how they didn't care for having God in mind, I betrayed them by turning the mind - to do inadmissions " (Wed). The fact that all these events - and among them are heavenly interference, believing an end to a terrible person, will occur in Constantinople and around him, indicates special fisheries of God about him. But no matter how the promise of coming prosperity consisions, the reader involuntarily shudders from the description of military horrors and from consciousness that they are the benefit of the "advanced" civilization with its cult of "freedom". "The skin bothers, and the stone is dry illegal ...". Of course, these sorrowful words, like many other allegories of prophetic rivers, should not be understood literally, but they rightly see the instructions on the unheard of the sulfur of the troubles, which will be accomplished by the thoroughly of the human body. To further understand this, remember the text of the Revelation of John: "And the Babylon of the Great is amented to God to give him a cup of wine of the rage of anger ... For her sins got to the sky, and God dismissed her. Share her as she also gave you, and twice the dear to her; In the bowl, in which she prepared you wine, prepare her twice. How much she was famous and lossed, so much to reward her torment and sorrows ... For that in one day, they will come execution on her, and crying and hunger, and will be burned with fire, because the Lord is silent, firing her " ().
"Babylon" in the above fragment acts, according to our wretched understanding, not as a geographical or historical concept, but as the image of the monstrous lies, quite succeeded in the disgust of mankind from God-stroke truth. Of course, every kind of evil is a delusion and removal from God. But here we have the image of a universal evil that has achieved the limit of their capabilities. In fact, humanity has never wandered in such darkness and did not reach such a depth of the plant, as they are now. Sin and sining always existed and in many cases were expressed in terrible crimes. But these manifestations of sinfulness, not being massive, always wore a more or less isolated and hidden character. The tragedy and the fear of today's situation is that the evil has become universal, and its manifestations are infinitely arrogant and cynical; Moreover, they completely and are surprised as a feat and virtue, honorable high awards.
It should be especially emphasized for this comprehensive evil, symbolically denoting it as a waters in the human heart of "other" deities, whose things are fighting the truth and the court of God. For for people of our ill-fated century, truly "body of death" (cf.), which focuses on them to the ground, was the dry and barren "scientific knowledge" with the notorious "humanism". Humanism spawned materialism, materialism - atheism, atheism - communism. Communism also gave rise to Nihilism, relativism and everything that is capable of producing a deceased man-believer.
Rejected Absolute, the man became flat and one-dimensional. From this point on, there is nothing forbidden. You can endlessly indulge in new pleasures, whether the rejocent satisfaction of animals and directly criminal inclinations or endless mind games and imagination. With the death of conscience regulating their behavior of both reasonable and moral creatures, people are descended to the level of purely biological being, which the instinct is managed. Humanism - especially in that kind of his variety, which professes the modern West, - undermined the faith in God, proclaiming the man of the "measure of everything". Putting the intrinsicity of man and "positive" knowledge, this ideology calls for the world and human life Exceptionally in the light of "scientific" theories.
To mourn these upcoming disasters, only the Prophet of Jeremiah, and we default, not to dare nothing.
Prophecy of Holy Taracia, Patriarch of Constantinople
This Holy Husband, held by the Constantinople Patriarch throne in 784-806, is known, among other things, as the initiator of the VII Ecumenical Cathedral and as the author of the next prophecy:
The internecine break will erect, and the whole genus will die. And then the holy king will rise, in whose behalf [Letter] Ι - the initial, and σ - the final one.
Thus, here, as in previous prophecies, a terrible braid-educational war is predicted and the appearance of the righteous king named John, who has anointing from the Lord itself.
Prophecies Emperor Lion Wise
The son of Vasily I Macedonian The Byzantine Emperor Wise reigned in 886-911. He owns a number of poetic and moral texts, including a prophetic nature, and among them the following:
On the multicolmental king, living on the outskirts of Byzantium [Constantinople], the wretched and [Bogo] elected, famous and unknown. True king ... Exculted by people from his dwelling ... will appear at the end of [the dominion] of Ismailians ... in the third hour ...
Approaches it to open in the radiance of light and [other] signs. This will be called up from an angel having an image of a man-eunuha in white riza, which is raised in the ear to him, lodge: "Rolling, sleeping, and resurrected from the dead, and will highlight you by Christ" (Wed). For he encourages you to graze the people of the Great. " And another time counts: "Izordy, innermost, and do not waste, for many are looking for you." And for the third time, he was awarded the stone with the drawing of two laws, from which the first one - "Avenger [enemies] and give people everything is cleaned," the second - "Extraching the Sodomskie curls. Over this, the yeres of vicious from the temple of the corner, and retain to the ministry to the service of God. " The king he has special signs. On his nail of the right leg, he has a bright spot, and on both blades a purple-like crossing of the cross ... The name of the king of this is in the nations. And the Lord will lay his hand on his hand.
In those days, people will undergo great grindiness, and their faces will bow down, and will be sprinkled by the head of the chapter, and they recover to the Lord God of Heaven and Earth. Then the Lord hears the prayer of them, and turn his hearing to the inhabiting land, and will send his archangel in the human image, and he spreads on the islands. And the saint of God will find, Dotol is invisible and not known. Poted and for all obsequious, driven only to the Lord and himself, he will be from the dot of the prince and from the genus of the royal ... holy God. This will open and aim at the end of the days God himself ...
Open the same way. Three days and three nights will be at the top of the star of the star, and not from among the planets, but this is a sacrament one. And three days will sound the voice of a messenger, calling about the [king] to open. Then everything, having misfortune and the thumbtail of the messenger, in the frenzy and fear of the reissue in response, which this is unknown. But following how, lezing on the sky, the "Lord, Homes!" And, surfactant NIC, with tears of grief will be sprinkled by the head of the head, hear God will hear, it seems on them with gracious Ok and for the remaining chosen elections of their revelaced.
The gaze will open up all the solar solid in the clouds, the value of the threshold circle for six oxen, and will remove the purple cross from there, and the arc will appear on the left side of it, given to our plants in the sign of the covenant. And by adding all the phased chosen one, the arc is shy through the southern limit of the celestial circle, and the lower edge will be over the place where the truth king's hut is gained. Then the people, rewarding glory to God, rushed with the lamps and olive branches to the place of the edge of the arc, and, accepting great Honor The elderly sibling of the royal kind, wishes at least the trick to introduce it to the great Zion ... and the Bulletin in all, but not being herself, hesitated from heaven: "Do you get this?". People, having driemented themselves in the chest and raising hands to the sky, with a crying and a rubber Rubber: "She is truly pleasing, Lord, for you gave it to us!" And bowing to the king, they will introduce him to the Great Zion. And when he poured, the sealed gates will be rejected ... All of the Burests will gather with a great thrill and, erecting him on an exalted place, will be announced to the king and so among the nights will be introduced into the palace, accompanied by two angels in the guise of Belorizsev's husbands. These angels will raise him in the ears, instructing any reason what to do.
This prophecy can be viewed as a continuation of the previous ones. Compiled at all in another time, it describes in more detail and the divine interference in the course of war, and the confusion of the human race. According to him, the God-proof king will not be released from the subsurface society, but, the most illuminated by the good industrialism of God, will be revealed at his time, and this should not be divided away, because the cops are approved by the Miracles. In the example of the centers and the prophets of antiquity, it will not only be a wise and skilled ruler, but also a storehouse of other supernatural tensions, without which it is impossible to overcome the irresponsible chaos at least time.
This man called up by God will come not as an ordinary "Prince" from people and not even as one of the ancient prophets, who endured the hunter and sorrow from contemporaries, but as a direct forerunner "the coming with Glevoy Sudii Suditi and the Dead." He will come with a daring, as the messenger of the Lords of everyone, in order to take the command of God, to fulfill the will of him and show the sons of the deer, which many centuries tormented loyal and, for sure the spillings, suppressed wheat until the day of the harvest.
Prophecies of the Sacred Society of Etolisk
The presented texts are largely consonant with the prophecies of the later time, which belong to the Sacred Cosma Etolian (1714-1779). Holy Mountain Mountain Mountain, he, with the blessing of Sacred, managed the Greek lands, strengthening the Orthodox faith, piety and the national identity of the Greeks in the grave years of the Turkish oppression. The Holy Kosma martyrs died in Kalicondasi (Epirus) in August 1779. Having a gracious gift of prophecy, he predicted, among other things, the future fate of our people, many scientific and technical achievements of modernity and, most importantly, the restoration of Constantinople as a reigning hail, what the prophets were talking about and former before him.
About the coming events of the Holy Cosma was notified on a special way. So, the prediction of the release of Greece from the Turks is clothed with his paintings of recent times and Armageddon. Below are those of its prophecies, which, according to our conviction, will certainly be fulfilled at one time:
1. If the dispute is resolved by war, will be subjected to a great ruin. Of the three cities, one will meet one;
2. The blood is shed in the city, in which a three-year bull will swim;
3. When thousands of sailboats appear in the Greek waters, the fate of the city will decide;
4. For three close gorges - edge, beautiful Muzina - will move towards the city of a numerous army. Women and children would be nice to go to the mountains. If you ask you if the city is, do not tell the truth, for they cause you evil. The army does not reach the city, because in the middle the way learn that the war is over;
5. You will see that people fly in the sky as a starvet, and flames on the ground. Everyone who will live then will run on the cemetery and will shout: "Go out, the dead, so that we are alive!;
6. How many people will be supposed to be premature from the fear of their own!
7. After the war, people will run a half-hour way to find a person and make it [their] brother; "
8. Happy who will live after the universal war. It will be a silver spoon.
Do not give the commercial predictions of the saint, as well as not directly related to our topic. In the same seizure of the striking similarity with the disassembled above. As there, it is also said about the horrors of war, the last phase and catastrophic consequences and, finally, the "golden age" of the post-war time.
EPILOGUE
Dumping the texts of the Holy Scripture on Antichrist and recent times Forced us in some cases to engage in their interpretation, since the times mentioned there are now clearly detected both in the affairs of human and in the spiritual and moral atmosphere. In order not to linger on various judgments, opinions and guesses, let's say two words about the number 666, which invariably turns out to be in the foreground at any discussion of the eschatological theme. The true meaning of this number (in the sense, which gives him the revelation of John the theologian, where it is "the number of beasts", that is, an antichrist) we are unknown. It is urged only those who will bring to live in the terrible days of his domination and take it either to reject the antichrist print. And until then, it, according to our understanding, no more than one of the signs of the upcoming phenomenon. Arriving this, we do not contradict the spirit and the letter of the Holy Scripture, where the number 666 is symbolically connected with the name under which the Antichrist will act as a historical face. But since, in the opinion of fathers, the number of this can correspond to many names, the eighteenth verse of the thirteenth chapter of revelation and accommodation presents for us an intractable riddle.
But in addition to the number 666 there are many other evidence that Antichristovo "Time is close" (). Why are the Christians of our days, neglecting them, are concerned about only a numerical symbolism? If a "Mystery of lawlessness" Now it is not just acting, but with the universal fruitlessness, the power invades the life of the world, is it well to pay so much attention to the name "lawlessness" and after it again and again unwittingly call him? Recall the words of the fathers who notify us that the Time of Antichrist, although it is close, will be presented by many events that he has proclaimed. So, our Lord, along with "Wars and military rumors" (Cf.), speaks of all-time disasters caused by the sinful state of mankind, which the Apostle Paul is generalized called "retreat" (Wed), an upstation. And then, to what extent this digression will spread, express us - each, as far as it opens it over, is the later fathers. We can say on the basis of their predictions and our own observations that it has so far established in all areas of life, and the consequences of his approval are not doubted. Since the image and measure of the predicted apostatia is carried out in modern humanity in full, it will not slow down and God's intervention. And if, according to the word of the Lord, "No iota or none of the feature will be passed from the law until everything is fulfilled." (), it will be, no doubt, and the fact that at various times it was proclaimed over faithful slaves of it.
Summing up the set of guesses and concerns about the fate of the world and man, ask about the most important thing: what is the danger of eschatological perspective for the faithful and should they be afraid of her? We know that all "Treating and aging close to destroying" () And all the beginning of the beginning has the end. Therefore, the ultimate fate of the world is not a paradox, but the execution of the preset. If a person, as a particle of the creature universe, at one time appears on the light, reaches maturity, agitates and dying, then all the creation, obeying the classroom of the Creator, will graduate from the period. And if the deadlines are destined to be on our days, who can resist this? But isn't the true end of our "Eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord" () Yes, we can not fail to solve the disasters and the coming of the Antichrist. But the fear of this is a different kind than those who are far from faith and completely rooted in the present century. There is nothing truly faithful to fear. By changing the bustle, subdued by the law of abstinence, they actually rejected the world "With passion and lust" (), firmly contain the words of the Apostle, which "Nowadays the salvation, rather than when we believed"and fully applied to themselves continued: "So, reject the affairs of darkness and inhouse in weapons of light" (). Knowing the end of the end, they are further approved in the faith and affairs of salvation.
And whether there were such times when the presence of Antichrist's spirit in the world did not resemble himself? And if the chief antichrist will appear only at the end of the days, then the forerunning and assistants acted in any era, being, like he, the cause of greatest disasters. In fact, will this make a lot of the coming liar to those countless shocks, what have already happened or are about to happen?
And if the centuries of small antichritists and their leading Satan were not frightened by the grace of God, then the number 666, hiding the last "son of death". Being a symbol, this number before the performance of the deadlines has a completely distinguished value, because no one has demanded the voluntary adoption and renunciation from our faith. After the victory of Christianity, decrees of the sovereign and other official acts had a sign of the cross, but all the innovative subjects of Christian kingdoms did not turn into Christians. Nowadays, in most domestic and foreign goods, all sorts of numbers and emblems are banging, but it does not follow from here that any of their buyer automatically penetrates "secret meaning" laid down in these notation. However, we warmly warm if on your own will and deliberately leave their faith and bow the falsebog.
Knowing a small measure of his strength, we believe that they said enough. We made sure that the advent of the Antichrist still needs to be done. Let us be prepared with the prayer and uncoordant badness to what expects us in the near future. And yes, it will serve as a key to our salvation and daring before God, who one knows and can save his.
To predict the end of the world was fashionable at all times. Each more or less round date is accompanied by a multitude of "prophecies". Nostradamus many read it to this day. Will we be afraid of the end of the world or wait for him with impatience?
- I am like orthodox priest I think that we do not need to listen to Nostradamus at all. Who is he? Nothing in common with Christianity is not a philosopher, astrologer and magician. After all, astrology, magic, fortune telling the Old Testament forbids under the fear of death. There is no place in Christianity. The area of \u200b\u200bthe occult science refers to paganism, and therefore for us no astrologer with his predictions can be authority.
For Christians, the highest authority is Jesus Christ, who said: "No one knows about the bottom or hour, nor the angels of Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Gospel from Mark, 13:32). So, when it comes the end of the world, we cannot predict. Because the Heavenly Father put it in his power, no one from what phenomena of the visible and invisible world cannot withdraw it.
- But even in the sacred Scripture, some signs of the end are indicated: the gospel will be preached all the creatures, the Antichrist will reign, and everyone will be worshiped, they will come false prophets with the name of Christ on the lips, wars, glads, children ... Why can't we guide them?
- We can navigate them, but exactly how signs. After all, the Lord said that when the leaves bloom on the trees, then Summer soon.
Chernobyl and other catastrophes are signs of single, not constituting a common picture. And they submit us to the realization that, perhaps, we are somewhere in the last phase of the universe. But this does not mean that the last day has already come.
- Orthodox Saint Seraphim Sarov also predicted the time of the end of the world. When he goes from Sarov to Diveevo, there will open "four times" and between them will fall, "then soon the end of everything will come." But he is already in Diveyev!
- The discovery of Diveyev the relics of devotees of Mother Alexandra and other founders of the monastery are also - signs of the end. But we must understand that the saints, even the father of Seraphim, could be mistaken. It does not undermine their authority. But only Jesus was Godhead. And the saints are only humans. And in matters, the answers to which only the Lord knows, could be mistaken. By the way, the father of Seraphim ended the end and did not call.
However, all these signs of the end can be familiar to us that we should turn inside yourself.
Here, I know, there was a poll of public opinion. Different people asked: "What will you do if the end of the world occurs?" Most answered that they would drink, walk, having fun. In general, enjoy the last days of life. And no one said that he wonders about his life, she will be shown in sins, will try to change and live in recent days in recent days.
- And Christians should rejoice at the end of the end or still be afraid of him?
- It's completely nothing to be afraid! We know from the Gospels that the end of the world will be the destruction of this mournful being and the beginning of a new one. Moreover, for the righteous people it will be a happy and blissful life with God. What are they afraid of?
From the whole Christian teaching it follows that we have to live every day as if he is the last for us. And every day should be ready to answer for their kind and evil affairs before God. This is the meaning of philosophizing about the end of the world of Christian.
The Lord warned that there would be a great sorrow, which was not from the very beginning of the world (war, fratricide, illness ...), and he hopes to see in believers courage. But the Lord will retain believers for their faith.
When a person is born, the mother is suffering, but then she rejoices that a new person came to the world. Also here: the transition from this world, damaged by sin, to a new being, in which there will be nothing unclean, nothing will be accompanied by mourn. And if they are pulled out - and Christianity teaches patience and humility - we will get such that we cannot even imagine in this life.
- But we, weak, sinners, can not cope with the circumstances of this life. Do we not see salvation?
- The Scripture says that anyone who calls the name of God will be saved. Sometimes you can hear: "I'm a drinker, a cloudnik, not capable of anything ..." And behind this should not be faith, no prayer, and the person dies for the future. And if he says: "I'm worthless. Lord, save me! You can save me! " - God goes to this man to help. I am not allegedly approved, but from my even small experience.
- Father Igor, how to treat when calling to repent during a certain time, for example, the alleged end of the world? How right people are in such a call?
- To some extent. Maybe not where certain date. At the end of each day, looking around and analyzing their actions, every person must repent of the Lord.
However, to call for repentance, it is necessary to have the right to it. For example, I am a priest, and some of my priestly debt is to preach, testify to the truth of faith and call people to salvation. A man who did not use San must first start with himself - to call himself to repent and repent. You can shout after all: "Show! - And go to drink vodka.
The holy fathers thought: Show himself. And, seeing your repentance, thousands of others will be saved.

Blessed Staritsa Pelagia Ryazan
In recent times, every Christian will be a hundred and more sorcerers! How many books of sorcerer and witchcraft under the leadership of the Jews produced around the world?!
There will be a lot of grief when the servants of the Antichrist will deprive believers, work, pensions ... there will be a moan, crying and much more ... Many will die, and only strong in the faith, which the Lord will choose, and wait until the second coming.

Rev. Wronsonophogs Optina
The whole world is under the influence of some power, which masters the mind, will and all the mental qualities of man. This is the strength of a foreign, evil force. Her source is the devil, and people are evil are only an instrument through which it acts. This is the forerunner of the Antichrist.
In the church, we now have no living prophets, but there are signs. They are given to us for knowing times. They are clearly visible to people having a spiritual mind. But this is not recognized in the world ... everyone goes against Russia, that is, against the Church of Christ, for the Russian people are a gogonymer, the true faith of Christ is kept in it.
Rev. Anatoly Optina
The heresses will distribute everywhere and make many. The enemy of the human race will act a cunning, to, if possible, to incline to the heresy and chosen. He will not rudely reject the dogmas of the Holy Trinity, the Deity of Jesus Christ and the advantages of the Virgin, and will unnoticately become distorted by the Holy Fathers from the Spirit of Holy Teaching of the Church, and his spirit and statutes, and these tricks of the enemy will notice only a few, most skilled in spiritual life.

Now I saw the king, on the throne of the sitting and pre-standing two brave details having a royal crown on the chapters. And the Lord gave them into the hands of the weapon on the opposite, and the enemies will be defeated, and all the nations will worship and will be the kingdom of our designer God and arranged. You, brothers and fathers, pray with tears to God and the Most of his Mother of God about the powers of the kingdom of the Russian land.

Old man Matthew Verephensky
This war of the world, perhaps all the new world order vs. Russia will be terrible in their consequences for humanity, having taken billions of lives. The reason for her will be pain recognizable - Serbia. On the resurrection of Russia will be the third World War And she will begin in Yugoslavia. Russia will remain the winner, the Russian kingdom, which will be able to establish a durable world and prosperity after the war, although it will not conquer most of the lands of their opponents.

Prophecies of holy fathers from Greek texts
The prediction found in the ancient Greek books of the Lavra Savva Sava Savita consecrated by the Russian monk, built on the prophecies of the Holy Fathers from Greek texts:
The last time has not yet come, and it is completely mistaken to consider that we have the threshold of the coming of the Antichrist, because one and the last breakdown of Orthodoxy still have to be, this time around the world - headed by Russia. He will happen after a terrible war in which not then 1/2, not then 2/3 of humanity and which will be stopped by voice from the sky.
And there will be a preached Gospel all over the world! For until now, it was preached by Christ the Gospel, but the gospel distorted with heretics (meaning, of course, the preaching of the Gospel in the world of Catholics, Protestants and a different kind of sectarians).
There will be a period of global prosperity - but not long.
In Russia, at this time there will be an Orthodox king, which the Lord Javits the Russian people.
And after that, the world will be corrupted again and will not be capable of correction, then the Lord will buy an antichrist.
Old man of Anthony
They are called aliens now, somehow somehow, but these are demons. Time will passAnd they will free themselves to themselves, consisting in the service of Antichrist and his minions. Where how hard it will fight with them then!
Paisius Athos
Unfortunately, today in theology, people who are not related to the church and with absolutely muddy wisers are pushing, who speak different things and make incommary actions, with the aim of deliberately remove their Christians from faith.
When you hear that the water Euphrates Turks overlap in the upper reaches of the dam and use them for irrigation, then know that we have already entered the preparation of the Great That War, and thus prepares the path for two hundred million troops from sunrise, as the revelation says.
Apostasia (retreat) has come, and now it remains only to come "the son of death." (Peace) will turn into a madhouse. There will be a day breakdown, among which each state will begin to create what he will do. God forbid that the interests of those who make a big policy were on our hand. Now and then we will hear something new. We will see how the most incredible, the most crazy events occur. (Good only) that these events will replace each other very quickly.
Ecumenism, general market, one big State, one religion, stitched by their measure. These are the plans for these devils. Zionists are already preparing someone in the Messiah. For them, the Messiah will be king, that is, it will rule here on earth. Jehovists are also waiting for the earthly king. Zionists will present their king, and Jehovahists will take it. They all recognize his king, say: "Yes, that's it." A great trouble will happen. In this confusion, everyone will want the king who could save them. And then they put forward a person who will say: "I am imam, I am the fifth Buddha, I am Christ, whom Christians are expected, I am the one who is waiting for Jehovists, I am the Messiah of Jews." He will have five "I".
He will appear to the Israeli people as a Messiah and prestitis the world. There are difficult times, we are waiting for big tests. Christians will postpone the great persecution. Meanwhile, it is obvious that people do not even understand the fact that we are already experiencing the signs (last) times that the print of the antichrist becomes a reality. As if nothing happens. Therefore, the Holy Scripture says they will be prestacled and elected. Those in whom will not be a good location, will not gain enlightenment from God and will be prestacled during the years of the upstation. Because he, in whom there is no divine grace, does not have spiritual clarity, as she does not have the devil.
(Zionists) want to manage the world. In order to achieve its goal, they use witchcraft and satanism. They look at the worship of Satan as a force that will help in implementing their plans. Smallest, after the introduction of cards and identity cards, that is, the compilation of personal dossiers, they shovely begin to apply the print. With the help of a variety of tricks, people will force to take print on the forehead or hand. They will arrange people difficulties and say: "Use only credit cards, the money will be abolished."
In order to buy something, a person will give a map to the seller in the store, and the shop owner will receive money from his bank account. He who does not have a card, will not be able to sell or buy.
Blessed Jerome
It should not be thought that the Antichrist is either the devil, or demon, but - one of the people in which it has bodily to dwell the whole of Satan.
Outstanding Russian Spiritual Writer, Honorary Professor of the Moscow Spiritual Academy Mikhail Alexandrovich Novoselov, famous in 2000 by the Jubilee Bishops' Cathedral of Russian Orthodox church In the face of martyrs, in his famous "letters to friends" (1922-1927) brought a number of the most valuable prophecies of the great rates of God, movable with the Holy Spirit.
The attentive reader will see that some of these prophecies have already been fulfilled, others are actually executed in our eyes, others still have to come true ...
Rev. Anthony Great - the glorious father of monasticity of all the times and peoples, hung in the III-IV century, the wildlife illuminates the way to rescue many generations of Orthodox Christians.
He opened his disciples, as the monasticism will relate from the diminution of jealousy and will fame. Some students of His, seeing the crumbling many of the inkoms in the desert, decorated with such virtues and with such a heat of jealous about the prosperity in the holy of grasphemus, asked Abu Anthony: "Father, how long will this heat and this love for privacy, poverty, humility, abstinence And with all the other virtues, to which today, all this is so diligent, all these are many monks? "
The man of God with frost and tears answered them: "The time will come, my beloved children, when the monks leave the desert and flow instead of them in rich cities, where proud buildings can argue with the chambers of the kings instead of these desert caves and close keels; Instead of poverty, love will increase the gathering of wealth; humility will be replaced by pride; Many will be proud of knowledge, but naked, alien to good deeds, appropriate knowledge; Love is cooling; Instead of abstinence, the curmonary multiplies, and many of them will take care of the luxurious disasses not less than the Mijan themselves, from which the monks will not differ from anything, as a robe and the edge; And, despite the fact that they will live among the world, they will be called themselves by civilians (the monk - actually, the "solitary"). Moreover, they will be classified, saying: I am Pavlov, I am Apollos (1 Cor. 1, 12), as if all the strength of their monasses consisted of their predecessors: they will be given by their fathers, like Jews - their father Abraham. But they will be at the time and those who will be much better and perfectly; For the beast of the one who could abandon and did not break up, and evil will create, and did not create (Sir.31, 11), rather than the one who was inhales to good the mass of aspiring. Why Noah, Abraham and Lot, who led a zealous life among evil people, rightly so much glorified in Scripture "...
A few centuries after the pretended Anthony of the Great, a prophetic verb is heard about the upcoming destinies of Christianity of the blissful nifion of Tsaregradsky. Some brother questioned him: "How now the saints multiplied around the world, will the same at the death of this century." Blessed with sadness told him: "My son, the prophets of the Lord God, as well as servants of Satan, are not at creation to the very protology of the century. However, recently, those who truly work will safely hide themselves from people and will not perform signs among them and miracles, as they currently, but will be done by doing, dissolved by humility, and in the kingdom of heaven will be large fathers who have glorified signs; Because then no one will do before the eyes of human miracles that would ignite people and encouraged them with diligence to strive for feats. The prepositions of the priesthood around the world will be at all insiques and the arts will not know. These will also be the charters of monastic, because everyone will be lowered by curious and vanity and will serve for people more temptation than a model, therefore virtue will be more disregarded even more; Srebroluby will be reigning then, and Mount the monks, riching Christ, for those will be a dealing for the Lord God and do not seek the face of God Livago ... Therefore, my son, as I said before, many, being obsessed with ignorance, will fall into the abyss, mistaken in the latitude of a wide and most expensive way. "
From the remote times of the Christian East, we will move thoughts to the last centuries of our era and listen to the spiritual verbs that sounded in these centuries in Saint Rus.
The great waters of God - St. Tikhon Zadonsky, looking insight to the direction taken by contemporaries of him, said: "It should be fearful to Christianity, being a life, the sacrament and spirit, not deleted in an increasing way of the human society that does not know how to keep this fear of God "
Several decades later, at the beginning of the next century, another great Holy Russian Church clearly and definitely, as the revelation of God, hesitates the sad future of this church: "The Lord has opened me, - once in deep sorrow, Rev. Seraphim Sarovsky, - What will happen when the land bishops Russian and other spiritual faces are evade away from the preservation of Orthodoxy in all its purity, and the wrath of God will hit them. Three days I stood on prayer, I asked the Lord to pardons them and asked to better deprive me, the wretched Seraphim, the kingdom of heaven, rather than punish them. But the Lord did not bow at the request of the wretched Seraphim and said that he did not merry them, for they would teach "Human teachings and commandments, the hearts will be far from me."».
And soon, the saint of Ignatius Bryanchaninov described the state of church, Christianity, monasses and monasteries in the near future. No matter how in support of the fact that the sad prophecy of the presented seraphim about the spiritual fall of Russian shepherds begins to come true, the saint-devotee writes to his brother: "Acquaintance with the prevail. I. also showed you and me the position of the church. In the highest shepherds, it remained weak, the dark, confused, misunderstanding of Christianity by the letter killing spiritual life in a Christian society destroying Christianity ... I. Franventable others - only. Search by anything nothing! "
In a letter to a familiar spiritual person, Saint Ignatius says: "Wolves clothed in sheep skin are and learn from their deeds and fruits. It is hard to see who entrusted to or who fell into the hands of the sheep of Christ, who gave their leadership and salvation. But this is the mercy of God. Being in the Judea and fucked in the mountains. "
"In religious terms, we read in another letter of St. Ignatia," our time is very difficult: the diverse apostasy from the Orthodox faith took extensive size and began to act with extraordinarily energy and freedom. "
"Who to support the church? For this, people are needed, and the carnal wising can only damage and destroy, although it is in pride and blindness with his dreams and proclaims about the creation. "
"Judging in the spirit of time and on fermentation of the minds, it should believe that the building of the Church, which hesitates for a long time, will shake scary and quickly. No one stop and contrast. The support measures taken are borrowed from the elements of the world, a hostile church, and rather will speed up the fall of it, rather stop. I will say again: Budy Will of God! What they sit, then get married! What sowed, then zaughty! The latter can be said about spiritual journals and about teaching the Law of God ... "
"Not from anyone to expect to restore Christianity! The vessels of the Holy Spirit dried up completely everywhere, even in monasteries, these treasures are piety and grace, and the business of God can be supported and restored only by his tools. The merciful long-suffering of God will long time and derete a decisive interchange for a small residue of saving, meanwhile, the rotting and almost impacted reaches the completeness. Rescues must understand this and use time data for salvation, "IKO time is reduced to eat", for for all of us the transition to the eternity of non-farms. "
"Time is terrible! Resolutely oscilted the living organs of the divine grace; In the closure, they were wolves: deceive and lies sheep. It is necessary to understand this, but they understand a few. "
"Apostasy, concludes another letter to the saint," predicted with all the clarity of the Holy Scripture and serves as a testimony of how much it is true and truly all that was said in Scripture ... to the position of the Church should be peaceful, although it must be understood. This is about over ... The elder Isaiah told me: "Understand time. Do not wait for the improvement in the general church composition, and be pleased with the fact that it is provided, in particular, to save people who want to escape" ... The Mercy Lord will take the rest of believers in it! But the residue is so much; It is happening meager and more meager. "
The reprehensive Ignatius replaces the authoritative contemporary of him, in one year he moved to the Lord with him, Metropolitan of Moscow Filaret. I remove several quotes from his letters to his vicar, Bishop Innochentia: "Ah, Having Holds! How time is ours like the last! Salt shoves. Stones of the sanctuary fall into the dirt outside. With grief and fear I look at the current extension of my in the synod to the abundance of people deserving - deprivation of San "; "It can be seen, our great sins are before God. Is the court begins? Is it time to start repentance from the employees in the house? "; "What during the time pregnant? Isn't that, in which the burden became a devil, I can't have a little time? For people in humans seemed to be seen that he has a great rage "; "In general, these days seem to me on the days of temptations, and I am afraid of the temptations ahead, because people do not want to see their temptations around them, and go between them, as if safe."
I turn to another, the younger contemporary of St. Ignatius and almost to us the modern saint Fefan to the Navser: "The Lord has a lot of signs showed in Capernahum, Wifsaide and Horazine; Meanwhile, the number of confining did not correspond to the power of the signs. That is why he strictly and implied these cities and awarded that on the day of the court there will be more good than Tir and Sidon, Soda and Gomorra, rather than cities. For this sample we must judge and about yourself. How many signs showed the Lord over Russia, eliminating her from the enemies of the strongest and conquering her nations! How many permanent treasury treasures producing incessant signs - in holy relics and miraculous icons scattered throughout Russia! And, however, in the days, our Russians begin to shy away from faith: one part completely and comprehensively falls in disbelief, the other disappears into Protestantia, the third secret is gossiping his beliefs, in which he thinks to combine spiritualism, and geological delirium with Divine Revelation. Evil grows: the gossi and disbelief raise their head; Faith and Orthodoxy weaken. So we will not make me? .. Lord! Save and surviving Rus Orthodox from the righteous and proper audition! "
"In school education," St. Fauofan writes in the same 1871, -<у нас> The non-Christian principles who spoil youth; The society includes non-Christian customs who corrupt it, on leaving the school. And it is not diy that if, according to the word of God, and there are always few chosen, then in our time it turns out to be even less: this is the spirit of the century is anti-child! What will happen next? If we do not change the image of the upbringing and customs of society, then there will be more and more true Christianity, but finally it will turn away; Only the name is Christian, and the Spirit of Christian will not be. All will be fulfilled by the spirit of the world. "
But the further fruits of deviations from the path of Christ, inspected and envisaged in the future by St. Fauofan: "And you hate from all my name for" (Lux. 21, 17). Who will breathe into themselves, at least a little, the spirit of the world, he becomes cold to Christianity and its requirements. The indifference it goes into dislike when it remains for a long time, not foaming, and especially when the particle of the reporting exercises come from somewhere. The spirit of the world with his turning teachings is the spirit of the hostile Christ; He is the spirit of antichrist; Its expansion is the expansion of hostile relations to the Christian confession and the Christian doings of life.
It seems that there is something like that. While walks everywhere only a deaf river; But it is not all possible that he will soon begin and tendered by the Lord: "Let's lay on you ... and odech ... there will be a betrayal ... and you will kill you" (LC. 21, 12-16). The spirit of Antihristovsky is always one: what was at the beginning, it will be now, in the other, maybe form, but in the same meaning. "
The thoughts of the Rev. Amvrosy Optina, expressed by him about a significant dream, deserve special attention to him about the same significant sleep ... I will give only a few fragmentary thoughts of an elder belonging to the topic of this letter: "An extensive cave, weakly lit by one lampado, may mean the present position of our church in which Light of faith barely glows; And the darkness of disbelief, bold-gloomy liberty and new paganism<...> Everywhere spreads, he penetrates everywhere. This truth is confirmed by the words hearing: "We are experiencing a terrible time"<...> Words "We live in the seventh summer" can mean the time of the latter, close to the time of the Antichrist ... The present tense is particularly decent of the apostolic words: "Children, the last godina is. And I am heard, Yako Antichrist is coming, and now the Antichrist is monstering the monster: from this we understand, I will have the last hour.""(1 in. 2, 18).
Continuing to express his thoughts on the dream, the Rev. Amvrosy says: "If in Russia, for the sake of contempt of the commandments of God and for the sake of weakening the rules and decisions of the Orthodox Church, and for the sake of other reasons, refuses piety, then the final execution of what has been said inevitably In the apocalypse of St. John the Bogoslov. "
"This is the opinion of modern condition The Christian world of one of the greatest pillars of the Orthodox Church, and, as it is not difficult to see, the opinion, testifying to the proximity of the "execution of times", threatening the world, by the coming of the Antichrist into not so long time, "wrote Holy Martyr Mikhail Alexandrovich Novoselov in 1923.
Of course, the end of the world is not a single-step act, but a historical process. As far as humanity is distinguished from God, it is so close to the energous enemy and death. People are becoming increasingly tolerant to all that it will prepare and pushes the world to the final catastrophe, to its end. Similarly, with the age of vehicles and filled with diseases, the human body before the death of it, so matures humanity in his sinfulness.
The antichrist will not instantly appear, but will be nominated for the throne of the world power with the masses of people who retreted Christ from the Spirit - the Spirit of Truth and Love. The saint of Ignatius Bryanchaninov notes: "The retreat from Christ will prepare himself for the adoption of an antichrist. Will take it in the spirit of yours. In the very mood of the human spirit, the requirement of an antichrist invitation will arise, sympathy for him, as in a state of strong aless, it arises for a thirst for a murderous drink ... The Antichrist will be a logical, fair, natural consequence of the general moral and spiritual direction of humans. "
And although we don't see the Antichrist himself, but his spirit, about whom the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John theologian (1 in. 4, 3), is already dominant in the world. According to the deepest thought of St. Ignatia, in full compliance with the teachings of the Holy Fathers of the Orthodox Eastern Church, the adoption of this Digital Spirit entails the renunciation of Christ and the worship of the Antichrist, even if "Son of death" (2 Fez. 2, 3) is not present in the world!
"Do not love peace, nor the fact that in the world: who loves the world, there is no love of the ex ..." (1 in. 2. 15); "Adults and adultery! Do you know that friendship with the world has a hostility against God? So, who wants to be another world, he becomes the enemy of God " (Jac. 4, 4), "the Word of God speaks clearly. Unfortunately, nowadays, friendship with the world and love for him became the usual phenomenon in the environment of Orthodox Christians who are trying to serve two gentlemen at once.
In this world, the Church of Christ should always be a stranger passing by his imaginary beauties and temptations. "My kingdom is not from this world" (John 18, 36), - teaches the Lord himself and the Savior of our Jesus Christ. Benefensia and comfort are deprived of the church of an unearthly fire. Then she does not fulfill its destination: ceases to be a militant who fights the forces of death. If she stops exposing a lie and evil, she ceases to serve the truth. So it loses her supermarket. This disease has very ancient roots. The external flourishing and imaginary well-being of the earthly church always carried the great risk of the loss of the spirit of true Christianity.
Nowadays, when the construction of the kingdom of Antichrist enters the decisive phase, it is necessary to exercise special care in spiritual life and carefully monitor the signs of times. Acting "With all kind of unrighteous seduction" (2 Fez. 2, 10) Forerunners and servants of the "Son of Death" do everything in order "To prevent, if possible, and selected" (Matt. 24, 24). No matter how sad, but many have already been prevented, and the Lord himself is our Jesus Christ warns us: "Beware so that who did not prengele you" (Matt. 24, 4) and "Break, because you do not know what time your Lord will come"(Matt. 24, 42).
Valery Pavlovich Filimonov , Russian writer, academician of the Orthodox Bologosovsky branch of the Petrovskaya Academy of Sciences and ArtsAt all times there were people of special spiritual vision that looked at the world not by physical, but spiritual eyes. There were no barriers and deadlines for these insane elders, the boundaries of the time and space were moved, the secrets of the sky and land were opened. "I must say that we, to us, the latest representatives of the human race need to be grateful to God for having to see us and even participate in the most terrible war of good with evil, which is more than more than so much prophecies and predictions. And about predictions should be noted; They were left by our saints even more than the prophecies of St. Scripture. Many made saints predictions that lived already close to the onset of recent time, which as it were in a hurry to warn the world about the coming tragedy. Especially valuable warnings made pretents. Seraphim Sarovsky and prep. Nile Mymumer. In them we will find explanations and interpretation of prophecies, and even valuable addition to them, which more clarifies the common terrible picture. Especially important for us are predictions relating to our Russia with its special lot in the house-building look at God. The ancient fathers of the church in a short statement were trying to emphasize the fact that the future times will be grave, but the mercy of God to undergoes will be special. So in the "swelling", composed by Ignatia Bryanchaninov, is a conversation of the elders: "The once holy fathers of the Egyptian Sceit prophetically talked about the last genus of Christians. "What did we do? - They said. One of them, the Great Avva Ishirion responded: "We performed the commandments of God." Then they asked: "What will those who will be after us?" "They," said ABVA, "will have a hollow against us." Then they asked him: "What will those who will be after them?" Avva Ishirion replied: "They will not have monastic doing: but they will be grief, and those who will stand will be above us and our fathers." Similar said to St. Kirill, Archbishop Jerusalemsky (386): "Therefore, the Lord, knowing the great power of the opposite and conducive to pious, says: then in Judea, be running to the mountains (Matt. 24, 16). But if someone is aware of himself that he really is hard and can counteract Satan, then (without losing hope of the Fortress of the Church) will be the same and let it say: who can tell you from God's love. etc. Who is the blissful, who, according to piety, then the martyr for Christ, for the above all the martyrs I supply the martyrs of the then. " Also prep. Nifont, Bishop Cyprus predicted: "My son, the saints do not care until the absenteeism of the century! BUT B. last years They will drive away from people, and will please God in such a humble farm, which will be in the kingdom of the heavenly above the first miracle fathers. And such a reward will be for the fact that in those days there will be no one for the eyes of their own, who would work miracles, and the people will perceive the zeal and fear of God in their hearts, because at that time and rank bishops will not be Love the wisdom and mind, and will take care only about the korear. Similar to them and the Inkoks will be with the possession of large estates, the soulful eyes will be thrown away from the same fame, and they will be in neglect of those who love God with all their hearts will be in disregard, they will be reigning in them with all. But the mountains of the inquoms who loving Zlatto: they do not seek the faces of God! " However, many ancient prophecies do not have Russian translations or not even preserved, but are revealed there, in retelling, summarized in the overall narration. Such a list with the prophecies of one Russian scientist monk leads archive. Seraphim Chicago and Detroit (1959), it briefly briefly a story before Enlightening Russia and then the prophecy itself begins about the future, since predictions are written before Rus's baptism of more than a hundred years. "The Scepter of the Orthodox Kingdom falls out of the weakening hands of the Byzantine emperors who failed to implement the symphony of the church and the state. Therefore, the Lord Spells will send the Third God's People's Spells to change the Greek People, the people will appear in the north through a hundred and other years (these prophecies were written 150-200 years before the baptism of Russia), with all his heart he will take Christianity, will try to live Commandments of Christ and seek, according to the directions of Christ the Savior, above all the kingdom of God and the truth of him. This jealousy will love this people. Lord God will attach him everything else - Large land, wealth, state power and glory. Thousands of years and this God-browning people will shake in faith and in standing for the truth of Christ, it will be ingenected by their terrestrial power and glorus, it will stop moving to the recovery of the middle of the coming and wants the paradise not in heaven, but on sinful land. And for this great fall will be sent over to this despicable God's path the people's terrible fiery test. The rivers of the blood leave on his land, the brother will kill his brother, hunger will not at times to visit this land and will gather his terrible harvest, almost all temples and other shrines will be destroyed or desecrated, many people will die. Nevertheless, the Lord on his third chosen people will not fully beneed. Blood thousands of martyrs will shine to the sky about pardon. In the very peoples, sipped and return to God will begin. Blowjob, finally, determined by the right judge, the term of the cleansing test and will reveal bright light Renaiss Holy Orthodoxy in those northern expanses. This wonderful light of Christ illuminates from there and enlighten all the peoples of the world, which will help the part of this people in advance in the scattering. Christianity then appears in all his heavenly beauty and completeness. Most peoples of the world will become Christians. And then? Then, when the execution of time comes, already all over the world full of faith and other predicted in St. Scripture will begin, the antichrist will appear and finally the end of the world will come. These prophecies are set out in different manuscripts and in different versions, but mainly all of them agree (S. V. Fomin "Russia before the second coming"). The second similar prediction, also collected from various Greek books by the Russian monk Anthony Sawait, speaks of pre-triychritics. "The last time has not yet come, and it is quite wrong to assume that we have an attire threshold" Antichrist "because there is still one and the last flourishing of Orthodoxy, this time all over the world - headed by Russia. He will happen after a terrible war in which not then 1/2 will die, not that 2/3 of humanity and which will be stopped by voice from the sky: "And the gospel will be preached all over the world!"<...> There will be a period of global prosperity - but not long. In Russia, at this time there will be an Orthodox king, which the Lord Javits the Russian people. And after that, the world will be corrupted again and will not be capable of correction, then the Lord will buy the All-Russian Academy of Sciences "(S. V. Fomin" Russia before the Second Coming ")". "St. Hippolyt, Pope (268) wrote- "... Many who will run by the Divine Scriptures, have them in their hands and think about them, they will avoid seduction (Antichrist) After all, they will clearly understand his goats and the lie of his seduction: they will avoid His hands and hide on the mountains and crevices of the earth and with tears and a crushed heart will be to seek that a person who will break out of them from his networks and will save him from painful temptations and invisible way, I will cover them with my own hand for the fact that they are advocating and fair soldered to it. Do you see what post and prayer will follow the saints then? Pay attention to the fact that difficult time and days will comprehend all those who will be in cities and villages. They will go then from the East to the West and back from the West to the East; will cry hard and grindly complain; And when just dries as a day, the nights will wait to calm down from their activities. When (them) will find the night, they, as a result of uninterrupted earthquakes and air hurricanes, will try to see the daylight rather as if, finally, to achieve at least severe death. The sorrowful life is paid then the whole earth, paying and the sea and air, paying and the sun, pay and wild animals together with birds, pay the mountains and hills and field trees - and all this thanks to the genus of the human for the fact that everyone deviated from the Holy God and believed in the seducer, making the image of this wicked and enemy of God, instead life-giving cross Savior. Will mourn and the church grief is great. After all, then (then) neither offering, nor the inquisition, nor service, pleasing to God; but the churches buildings will be like huts intended for the storage of fruit; It will not be assumed in those days and honest body and blood of Christ. Public worship will stop, the singing of Psalms will post, the reading of the Scriptures will not be heard: and darkness will come for people and sobs for sobs and moan moans. They will then throw silver and gold on the roads, and no one will collect them, and everything will be dispersed. In fact, everyone will try to escape and hide and, however, will not be able to hide anywhere from the enemy's rage, as the sign wearing his sign, they will easily be discovered and recognized. Okav fear and inside the thrill (will) and at night and during the day. Both on the street and in houses (will be) corpses, both on the street and houses - thirst and hunger; On the street - turmoil, houses - sobs. Beauty on face will disappear; In fact, the features of him will be, like the dead; Beauty will be destroyed in women and disappear with all people will disappear. " "The blessed are those that then overcome tyrana, and they should be considered more glorious and great than the first martyrs. In fact, the former martyrs borrowed a victory over his bodyguards (antichrist); The same will win the devil itself, the son of death. And, having done the winners (above him), what great awards and wreaths they will hear from on the tsar Jesus Christ. " Saint Cyril (386 or 387), Archbishop Jerusalem: "... The then martyrs according to my opinion, above all the martyrs. The former martyrs were fought with one people, and martyrs for Antichrist with Satani themselves will lead war. " St. Andrei, Archbishop, Caesarian: "And the idea of \u200b\u200bBrani will create with the remaining. - And when the best and selected church teachers and despicable land will be removed due to disasters to the desert, then the Antichrist, although it is distinguished into them, will erect a break against the Militant Christ in the world to triumph over them, finding them easily welly them, as if sprinkled by earth and enthusiastic affairs. But so many many will win him, because Christ loved the Christ. " "But there is a third reason, and, it can be said, an unreasonable reason for which the grace of all bodies of the Spirit freeze sometimes to leave even a man of gantry. And it already pops up from the very gentlemen of God - to experience the SIM only the most extremely strengthened in the grace of God of God as an extraordinary feat for extraordinary and awards for that: as it was and the Lord himself, Jesus Christ, from God, his father was admitted when his deity was completely Funny, that is, who did not feel the suffering of the flesh of him, the divine sufferer involuntarily recovered. "Eloi! Eloi! Lamma Savhwari? - What means. Oh my God! Oh my God! Why did you leave me? So, the same temptation is allowed to be all the universe during the Antichrist, when all the Holy God's people and the Holy Church of God Christ are, only one of them consisting, as if left from protecting and helping God will be left. The wicked same will trust and exalted over them until the Lord Himself is the Holy Spirit, who seems to be invisible, since since an overlooking: "Oh, where faith and patience of saints!" Similarly, immense temptations are popped up and will be bold and until that time on the saints of the great waters of God and the welfare of God in the temptation of their immensely Great Faith in Christ and in the crimson of them are incomprehensible and incredible for the mind of human awards during the package and life of the future century (see . Apocalypse 20, 4-6, reading yes, of course!). " To the question of brother: "How are the saints now multiplied around the world, will it also be at the death of this century?", - Pre. Nifion (| 11.8.1460), Patriarch Konstantinople replied: "My son, to the very fuss of the century, does not look at the prophets from the Lord God, as well as servants of Satan. However, recently, those who will truly work will safely hide themselves from people and will not perform signs among them and miracles, as they currently, but will be done by doing, dissolved by humility and in the kingdom of heaven will be large fathers who have glorified signs; Because then no one will do before the eyes of human miracles that would ignite people and encouraged them with diligence to strive for feats. The prepositions of the priesthood around the world will be at all insiques and the arts will not know. These will also be the charters of monastic, because everyone will be lowered by curious and vanity, and will serve for people more temptation than a model, therefore virtue will be negligible even more; Srebroluby will also reign then, and the mountains of monks, riching with gold, for those will be a wearing for the Lord God and do not seek the faces of God Zhivago. Monk or Miryanan, who gives her own, if he does not retreat from such a lamp, will be immersed in deep tartar, because he did not want to bring (his zlata) sacrificing God through the beneficiaries. Therefore, my son, as I said before, many, being obsessed with ignorance, fall into the abyss, mistaken in the breadth of a wide and most expensive way. " St. Ignatius (Bryanchanin) about these words prep. Non-Font of the Tsaregdsky wrote: "What a thorough instruction, what consolation for us in these prophetic words of a meaningful and chicken-name father! Due to the multiplication of temptations, due to the generalness and domination of them, because of the oblivion of the Gospel Commandments and disregard them all humanity - it is necessary for those who want to save the exterior and internal privacy from society. Due to the reduction of grace managers, due to the multiplication of false teachers, deceived by the Besnowlery prefers and the world's focus on this deception, a residence permit, dissolved by humility, is needed to be an extremely residence in the Gospel Commandments, it is necessary to compound a prayer with a crying about himself and about all humanity, caution is needed Every hobby is tricious, thinking to make the work of God with one forces by human, without acting and doing its own business. Saluble and save his soul, the residue of Christians said, the Spirit of God said. Save yourself! Blessed, if you find one faithful employee in the save: this is the Great and Rare in our time the gift of God. Welcome, wanting to save the near, so that he does not take you into a perceived abyss. The latter happens hourly. The retreat is touched by God: do not bother to stop his gentle hand, yours. Remove, fighting himself: And this is enough with you. Check out the spirit of time, learning him to avoid the effect of it. "Today, there is almost no true piety," says Saint Tikhon (Zadonsky) for a hundred years before SEN. - Now - one hypocritical. " I will be killed by the hypocritence, firstly, in itself, then in others: it is precisely because it is in the nature of time and can infect anyone with the slightest evasion into frivolous behavior. Do not hurt to show people, but in secret for your salvation, before the eyes of God, - and your behavior of hypocritical will be cleared. Do not condemn the neighbors, bringing the trial of them to God, - and your heart will cleanse from hypocritical. Chasing the hypocriteness in themselves, expel him out; Unsune against the masses infected with them and intentionally and unconsciously in the direction of it, covering the service of the world to God, the distortion of temporary benefits of the misfortune of the everlasting, covering holiness of holing life and soul, fully loyal passion. " "The second coming of Christ<...> Christianity, spiritual and reasoning will be discussed to the extremes between humanity<...> "The opponents of the Antichrist are considered outrages, the enemies of the public good and the order will be subjected to covered and open persecution, subjected to torture and executions." "In the time of sorrows and dangers, visible and invisible, especially need a prayer: she, being an expression of the rejection of arrogance, expressing hope for God, attracts us the help of God." "At the occurrence of great sorrows during an antichrist, a reinforced prayer will be reoped to God all truly believers in God. They recreate help, about the intercession, about the sending of the Divine Grace in reinforcement to them and leadership. The own forces of people, albeit faithful to God, is not enough to confront the connected forces of looted angels and people who will act with Ostervene and despair, the presentation of their ambulance peril. Divine grace, squeeling orders of God, pretends for them by invalid seduction of the seducer, neroznous threats to him, despicable wonders of him; She grants them courageously confessing the salvation of the Savior people who committed the salvation, and denounce Lzesessia, who came to the shooting of people; She will ere them on the scaffold, as at the royal thrones, like on frank Pier" The Lord "And at the most times of the Antichrist will lead the slaves of their own and prepare places and means for salvation, as it is witnessed in the apocalypse e." Rev. Lawrence (Proskura, 1868 February 20, 1950), Schirchimandrite Chernihiv Troitsky Monastery: "Immediately (at the counterpart of the antichrist) will begin the persecution of Jerusalem Earth, and then the last blood of the name of our Redeemer Jesus Christ will begin in all places of the globe. Of you, my children, many will live to this terrible time.<...> Christians will kill or refer in deserted places, but the Lord will help and feed their followers.<...> In those days there will still be strong fighters, pillars of Orthodoxy, which will be under the strong impact of cardiac jesus prayer. And the Lord will cover them with their almighty grateful and they will not see those false signs that will be prepared for all people. I repeat once again that it would be impossible to go to those temples, there will be no grace in them. Hieromonah Netary Optina (between February and October 1917): "And in recent times, the world will be obscured by iron and paper. NOVA days - a prototype of our days. The ark is the church, only those who will be in it are saved. It is necessary to pray. Prayer, in the Word of God, every bad is cleaned. " "Time of prayers comes. During the work, Jesus prayer is working. At first, the lips, then the mind, and, finally, she will go into the heart itself ... "One sister, listening to this conversation, asked:" How to be? I would not want to live to this time. " "And you are young, you can wait," said the old man. "How scary!" "And you choose one of two: or earthly, or heavenly."<...> The sister asked: "So all these died?" "No, if the believers are omitted by blood, then it will be suitable for the number of martyrs, and if not believers, they will go to hell," the father replied. And until the number of imposed angels will be filled, the Lord will not come to judge. But recently, the Lord and the living, recorded in the book of life, is attributed to the face of the angels of the missing account of those who disappeared. "<...> Batyushka talked with one hieraodic (George) about the last time, bitterly poured by tears, saying: "A lot of clergy will die during Antichrist." And Georgy says: "How can I be, not to die? After all, I'm deacon? " And the father said "I don't know." Father Deacon began to cry, falling into his legs, he asked that he was prayed for him to avoid hell, and he prayed and answered: "Okay. So it happens: I got sick on my head, and then I myself fell ill, he died in the kingdom of heaven. " And this prediction turned out. We knew this diacon in the Kiev Lavra, he was a very virtuous and singing monk suddenly sick on his head and soon died. Batyushka often looked and tearfully prayed, or told something with tears. Sisters reassured him, to which he objected: "Yes, how not to cry, when the abyss of human souls is full." Batyushka was strong love To all, for which the Lord knew him<даром> Prayers of cardiac and insaneness. "On earth stretches the abyss," said Batyushka, "and" Sirki "(demons) will grind everything and will be in people who will not be baptized or praying, but only to kill people, and the murder is a primary sin. It is interesting to more closely to this sin of people. Amen". Saint Ignatius (Bryanchaninov) writes: "St. Athanasius Great says that one of the signs of the approach of the attires of the Antichrist will be the transition of church management from the hands of the archpastures into the hands of secular dignitaries. The sign is very faithful! It can not take place otherwise, as in the loss of the clergy of its substantial spiritual meaning, its energy generated by decisive renunciation of the world. The essential importance of the hierarchy was destroyed in the church, the relationship between shepherds and the detergent, and peace-loving, an insatiable desire for the fussy honors, was destroyed in the accumulation of capital in the shepherds, left them only despicable hate police officers to the people, for abuse and immorality " . Jeroshimona Kushsha (Velichko) (1875-1964): "Last times occur. Soon there will be an ecumenical cathedral called "Holy". But it will be the same "eighth cathedral, which will be a godless assessment." On it, all faiths will connect to one. All posts will be abolished, the monasticism will be completely destroyed, the bishops will be married. The new-stylish calendar will be introduced in the Universal Church. Be carefull. Try to visit God's templeswhile they are still. Soon it is impossible to walk there, everything will change. Only chosen will see it. People will force to go to church, but we will not have to go there in no way. I pray you, stand in the Orthodox faith until the end of your days and save! "
