After being continuously postponed for many years, it is official, it has been finally decided: the first “Orthodox” Ecumenical Council in 1,200 years will be held in Istanbul in 2016. Which means that in 2 years time, all the “canonical” Churches will get together for what our Holy Fathers have warned so direly, saying that this moment will mark the beginning of the Church of Antichrist, and pointing out that true Orthodoxy will only exist in the catacombs.

The World Orthodoxy, meaning all the official Patriarchates, are hard at work preparing for this event. The main trait by which one may recognize them as part of this effort is their constant obsession for portraying themselves as “canonical”. Just like an earthly woman, constantly preoccupied with her physical aspect, looking upon herself saying “i am so beautiful”, so does this Worldly Church reflect upon herself saying “i am so canonical”. Rather than concerning herself with spreading Christ’s Truth and warning her flock of the impeding danger, she fixates herself on technicalities, even if from a “technical” point of view, she is not that “canonical” as they would like us to believe. For instance, ROCOR never maintained communion with the Moscow Patriarchate (until most Bishops of ROCOR defected to the MP after heavy infiltration), although it was always considered canonical. More-so, many of the ROCOR hierarchs maintained that the Moscow Patriarchate was un-canonical herself. But because the evil one has been given the power to deceive even the elect, if possible, things today are upside-down.

Here is a good example, from none other than Metropolitan Hilarion. In the following short article, the buzz-word of “canonical” is used no less than 12 times (please be mindful that this link goes directly to Moscow Patriarchate’s website and they may be monitoring the access; we recommend right-clicking the link, copying the link location and opening it using an anonymous browsing website):

Going forward, from now until 2016 and beyond, expect these psyops to increase in intensity, but be assured, the road they chose for themselves goes into perdition.

Please forgive us for using harsh words. Sometimes it is important to call things by their name.

Christians, thinking that those times when you may have to flee and hide in the burrows of the earth is near? This warning is for you …

The Church is where the Truth is, not where the many are !

We are sheep, but we are reason-endowed sheep; therefore, we have a right to speak. As for shepherds, the Good Shepherd has forewarned us that many of them are robbers and thieves who do not enter by the gate. The rational sheep follow the good shepherd for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers (John 10:4-5).

Ecumenism is the voice of strangers. Ecumenist shepherds, as much as they wish to appear to be Orthodox in order to deceive, are in reality wolves in sheeps clothing, working the destruction of the sheep (cf. Matt. 7:15, Acts 20:29). The sheep of Christ recognized with whom they were dealing and removed themselves far from the false shepherds in obedience to the ordinance of Christ, the Apostles, and the Fathers. And the camp of the wolf-like shepherds derisively called them old-calendarists, as the Christians derisively were called Nazarenes in another age. This people who knoweth not the law! But they forgot that the weak things of the world, and the despised hath God chosen to confound the wise (cf. 1 Cor. 1:27).

The Orthodox, the true Orthodox, were always the small flock, always derided, always persecuted. But the Lord said, Fear not, little flock, for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the Kingdom (Luke 12:32).

What were the first Christians in the eyes of the Hebrews who did not believe, that is, for the vast majority? What were they in the eyes of the heathen who boasted of their worldly wisdom? Ask your conscience and it will respond: They were like the old-calendarists of today.

We thought writing down a few thoughts on this subject may be helpful in these times of great confusion. So much has been written on democracy and how it it is the perfect system of governance that we think a few clarifications are necessary. By definition a democracy is a set of principles, based on some idea of freedom, which puts at its highest place a constitution which must be followed.

That is right – a constitution – a dead thing in itself – a set of ideas put together by a few men that must be followed by all. Is this not the very definition of idol worshiping? Is this not replacing the living God with a “set of moral principles and ideals”? Is not a constitution the result of replacing God’s wisdom with man’s wisdom?

Throughout history, the lawfulness of Orthodox Christianity has been preserved in the form of a Christian monarchy, starting from Constantine the Great and the Byzantine Empire and continuing through the Russian monarchy and the Tsar, following the model of Christ’s Heavenly Kingdom. Where in the apostate West the idea of democracy caught on much earlier than in the Orthodox East, the lawfulness was completely removed when the last Christian Emperor was murdered in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then Russia has also been a “democracy”, more or less if one looks at the period of harsh communism it went through. Nevertheless, the lawfulness has never been re-instituted since, therefore do not yourselves be fooled by the new “Christian authorities” that call themselves Orthodox in Russia.

It is hearth-breaking seeing how people in the West, especially in America, watch their constitution being shredded, still not understanding that the constitution cannot save them. It is a dead piece of paper that offers no protection and can be taken away and burned up just as easily as it was written. Is this so much revered Constitution not just like the dead idols spoken of in the Bible? It is really hearth-breaking to see so many people in America putting all their hopes in “restoring of the Constitution” as the way of preserving their rapidly vanishing freedoms, not understanding that true freedom only comes from God, not seeing that the idea of demon-cracy was sold to them only to deceive them in the end. It is indeed heart-breaking hearing so many people arguing how America has been founded as a Christian nation, where in fact quite the opposite happened – they created a republic based on a constitution that has some resemblance to Christian moral principles, and that is pretty much it. Just by writing down a set of moral principles and calling it God’s country is not in any way, shape or form founding a Christian nation.

Make no mistake, democracy means compromise. That is why the Bishops of our times find it so easy to steer the wheel of the Church towards the cliffs. Democracy is like recognizing that the Devil has a right to speak and is invited in – and he will always try to make sure there is compromise.

So the question becomes, who is going to defend the West when things really start falling apart (and they will soon)?

In our previous article we have seen how Metropolitan Hilarion has appointed Vladimir Putin as the savior of Christianity.

“RT online reported that Metropolitan Hilarion, foreign relation chief of the Russian Orthodox Church presented evidence and statistics that stated, “Every five minutes one Christian was dying for his or her faith in some part of the word”. After delivering the facts, Metropolitan Hilarion asked Putin to make protection and defense of Christianity around the globe a major part of his foreign policy.”.

That is defending the whole Christianity, not Orthodoxy – the true Faith, like historically the Byzantine Empire and the Russian Tzars have always done.

The same Metropolitan Hilarion that bowed down to Pope Ratzinger? Very disturbing indeed. Nothing will ever tell the full story of what is really happening better than watching this. We just have one question: when did the Moscow Patriarchate become a business, just like the Vatican?

With every passing day, things turn more and more towards realizing our greatest fears. From the day we started this blog about a year ago we have been trying to show that the world is preparing to fight a “western antichrist” (who would in fact be the false antichrist).

Today we hear, none other than Mr Vladimir Putin has self-appointed himself, with the blessing of the Moscow Patriarchate, as the leader of the efforts of defending Christianity WORLDWIDE, and the ecumenist movement is going to rally all churches, from East to West behind this cause.

http://global.christianpost.com/news/vladimir-putin-vows-to-defend-christianity-worldwide-69002/

The time we have to try to raise the red flags over this plan is short. Please keep us in your prayers.

The recipe has been used over and over, as seen in Yugoslavia and most recently in Ukraine. Instigate brother against brother, divide and then bring the “western freedom” in, to create an “open society” as Soros calls it. Open up the holy places as tourist attraction, restrict access for those who really benefit from it, and make sure you get in as many curious visitors as possible, transforming the holy places of Orthodoxy into Disney-lands – this is World Orthodoxy.

That is exactly what they are currently doing in Ukraine. The most important Orthodox pilgrimage site of Orthodoxy after Mount Athos, the Kiev Caves, are the most important target of the West, and they know it. There is hardly any day in the Orthodox Calendar that goes by not commemorating a saint from the Holy Kiev Caves. The West are very close to getting their hands on this site, and they have known how important this was. So much so that Brzezinski made it quite clear as early as in 1997 that they had to gain control of Ukraine!

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/world/2014-03/20/c_133202045.htm

An Orthodox Tsar would recognize as the most important thing being the preservation of Orthodoxy by defending the Kiev Caves. He would understand and believe that by doing that, God would also intervene and offer His divine protection – that is how Orthodox Christianity worked for centuries – by defending God first and foremost, a nation would benefit by His protection.

Unfortunately things do not seem to be heading into this direction, and if the Kiev Caves Holy site falls, the last resistance site, the Holy Mount Athos will certainly fall too. This is the real reason for as to why so many icons are weeping all across Russia and Ukraine.

In one word: Zionists. Be them from offices in Washington (see about Victoria Nulland – Wikipedia clearly shows she comes from a jewish background, like all those in high offices in America, and everywhere for that matter) to commandos on the ground – just like it was the case with the Russian revolution at the beginning of the 20th century. Nothing has changed. Proof? They themselves admit their forces are the ones that fought against the legitimate government of Ukraine:

As we showed in the previous post, the Zionists (Joe Biden is one of them) are working to create a crisis, and it seems they have chosen Putin as the delivery vehicle. Apparently Russia is the main force behind getting the world moving away from the US dollar and to a New World Order. That would explain why America “had to” resort to bringing its war to the Russian border, as a last effort to deter it from its plans. According to a Reuters article, the Russians have agreed to give US an April 2014 ultimatum on accepting the coming “IMF reforms” (aka Global Currency Reset – GCR), which means that indeed things have been postponed for just a little longer:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/06/us-imf-reforms-idUSBREA251IN20140306?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews

A third source would not confirm it was Russia that brought up the issue, but said the G20 generally agreed to give the United States until the April meetings of the IMF and World Bank before taking more aggressive measures, a point confirmed by one of the other sources. All three sources spoke on condition of anonymity.

So what we are seeing right now is really setting up the stage for some very difficult times ahead. We can only pray that, according to the prophecies surrounding the restoration of Holy Russia and the Tsar, events will turn around, by the providence of God, towards restoring true Orthodoxy once more before the end. As we showed before, Putin is certainly not the Tsar and the Moscow Patriarchate is certainly not the true Orthodox Church the Holy Fathers spoke about, they are just creating the illusion they are the ones in order to deceive:

http://orthodoxaustralia.org/2013/12/18/world-news-dec-18-2013/

We are at the doorsteps of the last battle against Christianity. Dozens and dozens of icons in Russia and Ukraine have started to weep recently, something that happened once before on this magnitude – in 1917 just before the last lawful Orthodox Tsar was murdered and lawlessness was instituted.

Is it possible that Joe Biden’s promised “international generated crisis” is finally about to happen? If you may remember, they have 4 or 5 scenarios. They have already tried some …

http://orthodoxaustralia.org/2013/03/08/intense-preparations-for-an-international-generated-crisis/

The crisis in Ukraine is clearly another manufactured one in which the american instigators are not even trying to cover their tracks any more. The recent incident with the recorded phone conversation between Victoria Nulland and the CIA US ambasador to Ukraine is very telling. America is not “a force for good” in the world anymore, but behaves just like a dumped harlot looking for “attention” and trying to shift focus away from her problems. This much has become clear to everybody, and her hypocrisy has reached alarming levels. When she invades a country it is “justice”, when others do it, it is an “ilegal act of aggression”. The double-standards she applies are staggering.

We have pointed out before, the people who have worked out so hard in the west to prepare the turn-key orwellian framework, having completed it, are now on the look for a crisis to set it in motion.

The kind of crisis they would really like to have is one that may seem unrelated to the state of economic affairs in the west, otherwise it would become too obvious. Ukraine situation is a good scenario – a broke West engages in a battle they cannot afford. Besides the fact that from a historic, cultural and religious (orthodox) perspective Ukraine and Russia are really one and the same, the West has the audacity to bring a crisis right in Putin’s backyard. That will be the beginning of the West’s end. Putin made it quite clear that Russia is ready to “reduce its economic dependency to the US to zero”, meaning they are ready to fire-sell US treasury bills (a catastrophic scenario we pointed out before) and drop the dollar for a gold-backed currency, which we know has been in the cards for a long time, the elites have been working towards achieving this for many decades.

Thinking that Putin is not part of this game is what they would like you to believe. Oh, he is into this big time. You may remember the “hot mic incident” between Obama and Medvedev before the re-election in 2012 where Obama asked the russian for “a little more time” until after the elections, when Obama would have a little “more flexibility” do do something he had promised Putin to do. Medvedev was heard saying “I will transmit that to Vladimir”.

To kind of understand what the “agreement” could be about is not hard if one looks at what can be seen with a naked eye: “Obama” provides the “problem”, “Putin” the “red orthodox solution” …
