A world on the edge …

In The West …

The “Tree Of Hope” has died, been removed and destroyed in secret! There is no going back, the fate of America has been sealed and can no longer be reversed. God’s judgement on America is near!

Must see: Isaiah 9:10 Judgement

In Russia …

Is Mr Putin’s goal really about trying to defend Orthodoxy or kill the West and the dollar? The difference between these two goals is as big as the world, and is exactly the point we have been trying to make for a long time. If the goal is indeed that of protecting Orthodoxy then we can see great hope in what is currently happening in Russia, but if Mr Putin is just part of the long established elite plan to destroy the dollar and bury the West, then that is a completely different thing, totally un-Orthodox in nature. People need to be vigilant and not let themselves be carried away by the spirit of having justice done just for the purpose of justice itself (therefore being nothing more than revenge or retaliation), and not for the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ who said “Revenge is Mine.

About this trap of “seeking own justice” we wrote on other occasions in the past. If Russia wants to really step in a true Orthodox direction, it must not do things in retaliation against the West. Unfortunately that is hardly the impression one gets by looking at the whole picture today, including the creation of the unholy alliance of BRICS which has nothing Orthodox in nature, on the contrary, it is a communist idea of joining the enemies of my enemy.

Putin Says The Petrodollar Must Die, “The Dollar Monopoly In Energy Trade Is Damaging Russia’s Economy”

Rather than going the way it seems she has chosen, Russia should probably isolate herself from the world and not put her hope in earthly alliances but rather in God. The West will implode on its own weight anyway. If the West wants anything from Russia, have them pay in Rubles. Russia does not need much from the West anyway to survive on its own, as we have recently seen with the ban on food imports from the West, which is poisonous food anyway. The West wants to get Russia to retaliate and provocation should remain un-responded to.

Again it comes down to the same Orthodox principle of doing the right thing for the right purpose, outside of which there is no Orthodoxy.
