Have a party !

The type of distraction giving some rest to workers (slaves?), very common now in all lands, has an infantile profile, especially NOT from a political correctness standpoint. Such events have also warming-up outcomes for many people, but the calculated ‘timing’ itself is just dangerous to the soul, if not transparently demonic! On the other hand, why would a group of people decide to have a common celebration, if there is nothing to celebrate? Such festivities stretch from inauguration of new construction sites, to a relief type of gathering rejoicing of various successes or … the worldly New Year’s Eve!

It is very interesting to note that the most peaceful communities are the ones where religious feelings are not ‘present’, at all. It is like saying that the devil himself became ‘unemployed’ as man’s deeds depart from the Spiritual sources given by God. The greater the degree of atheism, the stronger the ‘peace’ of that congregation becomes. In reality, such state is just the quietness before the storm. Many do not perceive it as a lower state, but specifically praise it, as a pinnacle of the world civilisation. True Orthodoxy, or in other words the Spiritual Preparation for the Life to come after death, is completely forgotten, now! The ‘established’ caricatures of ‘spirituality’, which are accepted by all as official institutions, strive in vain to attract people…

The damage was done some time ago… A reverse order of the many celebrations and ‘replacements’ of these Orthodox festivals are common events, nowadays… There are parties of ‘Christmas day’ in July, or there are very bizarre and up-side down episodes when Holy Saints are ‘replaced’ by Red Nose day, Horse day, Jeans for Genes day, Daffodils day, Child’s day, etc. All these feasts emerged from underground darkness, during the 20 th century, little by little, even by event, so that no one knows precisely how long it took to forget the Real Events and replace them with mere and demonic carnivals…

While half of the world enjoyed freedom to some extent, and the other half went through the experiment called communism and communist dictatorships, the puppeteers of this world prepared terrible changes of slow pace, that is a change from glorifying God the Lord and His Mother and all the Saints to the worship of dead matter in all its forms and shapes. We, the mortals, do not do anything to change our hysterical destiny and fulfil God’s expectations towards our salvation, but we happily move to our damnation. Holy Fathers prompted to us that the demonic realm will be amazed by the mischievous sprite of man, at the End Times! The exuberance of ALL people in this world, in ONE civilisation, worshiping NOTHING, that is worshiping ‘a new year’ with light and joy, in the cycle of nights, became unique to this End Time!

The ‘unity’ that people want to obtain by reverence to matter will be fulfilled by the antichrist, no doubt about that! Step by step, we all became tricked by schemes of the devil: the introduction of the ‘new’ calendar done by the apostatic roman-catholic popes (in 1582), the changes done by some local Orthodox Churches to approach this alteration (in 1923), the development of the ‘universal ecumenism’ towards ‘peace and wealth’ (along the second half of the 20 th century, to this day) and TOTAL secularisation of every aspect of ‘Laws’ produced by the worldly governments…

The confusion that is upon us from every corner, eroding our perception of Divine things, is craftily maintained by demonic servants and our inability to fight back, to fight back through prayers! The whole world goes on this path of spiritual destruction and material ‘ecstasy’! The ‘stuff’ which is loved so much by many will turn into rotten material, very quickly. God the Lord became Incarnate, to save us, instead! Will we be rejoicing into this Great Festival, swapping in advance, all the mockery of the world?
