Turmoil in Egypt – an Orthodox View

“Egypt and Mursi don’t mix! Divisive, incompetent, heavy-handed and deaf to wide segments of Egyptian society who do not share his Islamist vision.”

These are the words which best describe the circumstances under which the Mursi’s Islamic regime has fallen in Egypt, as highlighted by The Express Tribune in Pakistan. All of a sudden Islam has lost its appeal to muslims, and it appears it can no longer provide answers to demanding masses – just like apostate Christianity in the West can not provide answers any more to the western society which has drifted so far away from Orthodoxy. Everything has been uprooted. The disconnect between these theologies and reality has grown so much, it is becoming impossible for them to offer any more help to a lost society. Satan has reached its goal. People are no longer satisfied with the answers they get, and are now fully prepared for a NEW REVELATION. Division is everywhere, and it is only going to grow larger and larger until it reaches a point at which society collapses – and then it shall be revealed!

Blessed Seraphim Rose explains this process in his Orthodox Survival Course, showing how, having lost any notion about God and the absolute, having lost any point of reference and being completely disoriented, man now comes finally to doubting even whether the world exists, whether he, what he is. Many people commit suicide. Many destroy. And what is left for man? There’s nothing left except to wait for a new revelation. And man is in such a state, he has no value system, he has no religion of his own that he cannot but accept whatever comes, as this new revelation.

Islam has never been a religion that offered answers people could openly accept without being forced upon them, and today is finally coming to its moment of crisis … it has started to break down!
