  • Mark of the beast, collective sin and the disavowal of Christ

    Every Christian today witnesses how homosexuality and abortion, amongst other things, are being legislated into every national parliament, including in their own country, but can hardly understand how this is going to affect them directly, and think that if they do not agree with it is all going to be OK for their salvation.

    There is a more spiritually profound aspect to this effort of legalizing these abominations, currently sweeping the world over, that Church leaders completely and consistently fail to recognize or condemn, but which in our opinion is the key to understanding the relation between the mark of the beast and the disavowal of Christ (denial of Christ) our Holy Fathers have warned about.

    Our Orthodox Church teaches that the mark of the beast will have two key attributes, one material which will mean nobody will be able to buy or sell without it, and one spiritual that will mean one’s final disavowal of Christ. The mark of the beast will ultimately mean that the Christian will totally renounce Christ and His Heavenly Kingdom for the material world (mammon). In Matthew 6:24 we can read:

    No man can serve two masters: for either he
    will hate the one, and love the other; or else
    he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
    Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

    Therefore the mark of the beast will ultimately represent the final choice each man and woman will have to make at the end of times and which will decide his/her individual salvation.

    We can observe in the efforts to legislate these abominations in every country, the very foundation of the future disavowal of Christ because it will make everyone who will want to still live in this world a partaker to the collective sins imposed to the world, since these sins are being transposed into the public domain and being funded by everyone’s effort and contribution to the society (for example through moneys from taxes on income or other earthly activities).

    This will inevitably put every Christian into a difficult situation in which a choice will have to be made. Those in the Church that are silent today (most of them) will use as an argument to support these policies various passages from the Bible such as “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s”, and will tell people that they should obey these laws since they are of “Caesar’s”.

    A good example is, if one will want to keep his/her earthly job knowing that by doing this he/she will partake into the collective sins (just by paying taxes that will fund these public programs, and thus contributing to the implementation of these anti-christian policies), he/she has already chosen this world. It will be impossible for the true Christians to live in the world if the current trends are not reversed, and our Holy Fathers have told us that the Christians of the last times will run away and hide from the face of the antichrist and will only be found in the burrows of the earth. And there is very little chance that these trends may be reversed without Divine Intervention which can only come through real repentance and giving up of the wicked ways.

    True Orthodox Christians will understand the consequences of such choices and rather prepare spiritually for the coming persecutions and hard decisions. Without being prepared to stand and confess the truth of Christ and accept the inevitable repercussions, and without leaving one’s faith fully in the hands of God Who, as our Holy Fathers emphasized, will not leave us without divine help, it will not be possible survive what is coming. That is what the Holy Martyrs confessors against communism did.

    As the case in many other instances throughout the history of the Church, there will probably be a period of time for which the economy of God will work, and a Christian will still be able to “live” in the world described above for a limited time, but ultimately a decision will have to be made. This will only be possible with the blessing and guidance of a true spiritual Father who really understands the situation. This does underline how important in navigating the “narrow path to salvation” is having carefully chosen a spiritual Father.

  • World News – 22 June 2013

    1. The endgame is now on – the showdown over the coming debt ceiling debate in US (that will once again come to the forefront in the next 3 months) is guaranteed to create a bigger crisis than last time it happened in 2011. The scariest scenario everyone has been warning about – rising interest rates, is now underway. A rise in interest rates in the US will lead to massive budget deficits as more and more of their budget will be going towards debt servicing. Forget about talk of ending QE – they will have to print more … way more. Bernanke admitted raising interest rates were “puzzling” (as we shown in a previous post)
    2. The last missing part of the “framework” being set up in America is the immigration bill. They need to get as many people in – all in, nobody out ! And having the endgame in their view, they are now desperate to get it passed at all cost !
    3. The same applies to Congress, where the final preparations to complete the “framework” are underway
    4. Political assassinations (as explained by the DHS insider which we quoted in our previous article) are under way – first it was Andrew Breitbart, and now Michael Hastings – must see !
    5. Russia:”Syria Will Be Armed With Weapons That Have Never Been Seen Before In the Middle East”
    6. The spirit of Zeitgeist is taking over the world – unrest has spread to Brazil in a big way – and it is all about rebelling against financial iniquities …
    7. Drone technology deployed to keep the massive unrest in Brazil in check. Did you think the drones were for the terrorists? Wrong – they are about you!
    8. Obama program requires federal workers to inform on colleagues
    9. Marc Faber: “Believing In Bernanke Is Like Believing In Santa Claus”
  • They are preparing for WAR – part 2

    This article is an update to the information provided by a DHS insider a week ago which we reproduced here.

    Time is running short and it may be that information will not be available on the internet for much longer. Orthodox Christians, let us load up with information now so when the time for confessing of the truth comes we will be ready. Just like the Holy Martyrs of the Church that stood against communism, we will have to know for ourselves and confess to others the truth that we will be standing for.

    This article has been reproduced from Canada’s Free Press website: http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/56029

    “You’ve got to understand that they are trying to find the likes of me,” stated my source. Pretty soon, no one is going to be talking to anybody, especially in the alternative media, even about the damn weather. They won’t risk it, and I’m not just talking about a risk to their careers, either. There has been a systematic method of intimidation with some known and even “approved” media contacts, not just against them, but against their families,” he emphasized.

    “Just give it two weeks at most, it will come out that no one will talk to the media,” he added. [Author note: See this article about AP CEO confirming their sources won’t talk anymore, dated 19 June 2013]. “But let me give you some details about some things I was told too. I know this is second-hand information, but it was from someone in a position of authority to know, someone I trust, and someone who I expect to reveal to [name of elected official deleted] the true extent of what has and in some cases, still is taking place. This individual is preparing to disclose much, and has obtained legal counsel, but the problem is that one misstep could be fatal in a literal sense, and [this source] knows that. If not fatal, there are other legal challenges, especially under a corrupt judiciary. By the time this appears in print, the disclosures will likely have already been made, just not made public.”
    The Holder hammer & the Chicago plumbers

    “The revelation last month that the Justice Department seized two months of telephone records from the Associated Press (AP) last year is only a small part of the story. The public admission is that the Holder Justice Department obtained only telephone records from three locations, something like 20 lines, and records of calls from the House press gallery for about two months. That’s one of the biggest lies ever told,” stated my source.

    “The truth is that it was not limited to AP, and not limited to just number identification and call duration, but was an extensive and active wiretapping operation that included every reporter’s telephone conversations, landline and cell, text messages from their personal and business cellular telephones and other electronic devices. The primary focus is on the press gallery, where everything was monitored in real time.”

    “Not only were the communications of reporters compromised, so were the private communications of congressmen and their aides. Listen to what I am saying,” he stressed, “the operation was much larger than anyone can imagine. Recordings, actual voice recordings, were turned over to the Obama administration, along with transcripts of texts, other communications and contacts.”

    “NSA assets were used, with the NSA acting as the collection agency for their intermediate client, the DHS. Then, at the highest levels of DHS, they sifted through the information collected. But the ultimate client or recipient of the information was the Obama White House. I don’t know if other agencies were involved in sorting through the material, but DHS, and this was limited to the highest of levels at DHS under the personal direction of Janet Napolitano, provided volumes of data directly to the Obama administration. One person inside the administration I know received the data was Valerie Jarrett,” he stated.
    “The other part of the lie is that this operation lasted only two months. That’s a lie. It went on well into late last year, was halted shortly after the election, but then picked back up sometime in January,” he said. Something happened in January where there appeared to be another active wiretapping operation started, but this one appeared to be more focused, or more limited in scope. Maybe, and I’m just guessing here based on some of the things I heard, that the Obama people had narrowed their interests based on the fruits of the previous operation.”

    Now the ‘Holder hammer’ is coming down on anyone who opens their mouth, or previously leaked any information that could have been or be detrimental to Obama. I can tell you that Valerie Jarrett is working, out of the White House, with DHS and other agencies to co-ordinate their efforts with Justice,” the latter a reference to the Eric Holder Justice Department. “At the same time, on the media side, there is a ‘plumbers team’ headed out of Chicago, with a long reach to the New York and Washington press correspondents. So they are not only going after those on the inside, but the journalists from the other side.”

    “The intimidation factor is huge if a media contact is outside of a small circle of ‘vetted’ journalists who are completely loyal to Obama and his agenda. If you are not part of that inner circle, you are a target, it’s that simple. You are seeing the formation of a state-run media and an administration that will intimidate, punish or prosecute anyone considered unfriendly to the Obama camp from the inside and the outside. Like I said, this also involves elected officials, their staffs and even in some cases, their families. And it is all being done under the color of authority and the pretext of national security,” he added.
    Loyalty to the man, not the office

    It was at this point I asked my source, what were or are they looking for?

    “Anything and everything,” he responded. “Obviously, it’s about loyalty to the man, damn the country and damn the law. Protect the man and the agenda, which is not just his agenda, but the people who put him in office.”

    Like who? I asked.

    “Who benefits? This is about dismantling the United States and nothing less. This is about foreign interests who have taken over our government without a shot. Look at Syria and our economy, both issues that are expected, at least as discussed within DHS, to play out this year. You had it correct on both counts when you wrote about our involvement in Syria, by way of weapons shipments from Benghazi, to open another war. You also had it correct when you wrote about the killing of the U.S. Dollar. You want to know how I know this? Because the blowback from those two issues alone, one foreign and the other domestic, are what DHS is gearing up for in our ‘homeland,’” he stated.

    “Unless there are enough people who wake up fast enough, we will become involved in a war in Syria, with boots on the ground, facing not only Syrian troops but Russian forces. There will be blowback here in the United States. Along with this, you will see the U.S. dollar ‘collapse’ as the reserve currency, and social uprisings here in the U.S. over both. It will be DHS teamed with other federal agencies who will meet, with force, the uprisings. There will be chaos here, but it is expected to be different depending upon where you are at. Big cities will have the most problems, and plans are being made to cordon off cities and restrict travel at the time when these uprisings start. I really didn’t want to use this phrase, but expect martial law to be used ‘for the security’ of those affected by the turmoil.”

    “Then, you will see the internet being regulated in a manner that will serve only the agenda of this administration. Either right before or during these events, so-called citizen journalists will be particularly vulnerable. Watch for a serious crackdown of bloggers, online news publications and websites, but not in the way that will be immediately obvious. The ‘plumbers team’ have coordinated their efforts with Internet Service Providers to identify the people like you and others who publish their information on web sites. At first they will cite violations of terms of service. Then, they will select a few ‘troublemakers’ and identify them for criminal prosecution. Others will experience hacking and other electronic attacks. And during all of that, there will be the Obama team flooding the internet with misinformation and disinformation. In fact, that is already taking place.”

    During our conversation, I started to ask about certain journalists and bloggers who died, either from ‘natural causes’ or in accidents, suicides, and under other strange circumstances. My source interrupted before I could finish my question.

    “Don’t even go there, don’t bother asking me, because I just don’t know, he stated in a rather agitated manner. I do have my suspicions about one, maybe two who got a bit too close to the truth and foolishly trusted certain people, but I really don’t know for sure.”

    So, what will all of this look like, I asked, when it all comes down.

    “I’ve thought about that myself, and have seen some DHS documents outlining different scenarios. Maybe not what you think,” he replied. “Outside of the rioting in certain urban areas, the low stocks at your local stores, and rationing of gas, maybe not as dire as you imagine. My best guess is a combination of the riots of the 1960s along with the gasoline rationing of the 1970s, at least at first. Once people who want to save the country, those with good intentions begin to organize, it will become incrementally worse,” he stated.

    “Like a car careening off a cliff, but not hitting the bottom right away. It will hit jagged edges first, each time suffering more damage. Each blow will be worse than the next.”
    Centralization

    “Let me try to sum it up for you. It’s getting late, and I mean it’s getting late this morning and late for our country. This is all about centralization of power and pursuing an agenda that makes no sense or has any benefit to the United States. All of the things we are seeing are related. The IRS, Syria, Benghazi, the NSA, and just about everything you can name is about one thing: the consolidation of power and the centralization of authority. This party did not start with Obama, and might not end with him either.”

    I interjected my surprise at this point, noting that I thought the worst, like others, that we might not see another presidential election. “When did I mention anything about an election?”

    “You’re not thinking big enough,” he admonished. Nobody is thinking big enough, or has been thinking at all, which is why we’re in this position. This is a global agenda, or an agenda of the global interests, the money interests. Do you think for one second that if a person, and I don’t give a damn who it is or what position they hold, becomes a liability to those interests that they wouldn’t get rid of them? Don’t you think those in power know this?

    Cryptically, he spoke of Obama’s apparent infatuation with Abraham Lincoln and asked, rhetorically whether that means anything. A country that will fall into a civil war of sorts, and all of the things common to both. Does Obama know something, or feel something? Is that playing in to his desire for oaths only to him, and not the country? Think about it.”
    Time frame

    As we were parting, I felt a bit like Peter Falk playing Columbo in the 1970s television series when I said that I had “just one more question.” When is all of this going to start?

    What? He turned and looked at me as if I had uttered an insult.

    “It’s already begun. You’re seeing it now. If you want to know a date when our money will tank, or when the war goes hot, or when you won’t be able to get food or gas, I can’t tell you, and I don’t think anyone can. But remember what I said before, about the metals taking a hit and something happening after that. Look at the metals market. The U.S. has very little gold. Everything you see is being manipulated, from the economy to the metals to foreign policy. I believe that most politicians know how dire things are, and most are clawing their way for a seat at the global table. But if I had to answer you, and I guess I will so you’ll let me leave, I’d look for something to happen in early July as a precursor to the more major events later in the summer or fall, maybe in October.”

    “But don’t try to look at dates for answers, look at events, even the small ones. Remember, their objectives haven’t changed, only their plans to adapt to the right conditions. To the unaware, it will look like everything was just one big unfortunate coincidence.”

    Ben, why can’t you exit now? You have done your job, the economy is “improving”, you said you had an exit strategy, why are you not exiting? Everyone recognizes that now is about the time to start exiting. They are not asking you to withdraw all the money printed in the last few years, just to stop printing new money … is there any problem Ben? What? Can’t even stop printing new money, let alone withdrawing what has already been printed? Ben …

  • They are taking the world to WAR

    Every day we are closer and closer. When this war starts, all “unsettled accounts” will be “settled”, and all devils of the past will come alive again.

    America has chosen to support al-qaida in Syria where Iran is sending 4000 troops to fight against it? Go figure !

    The evil has so distorted reality, watching the following video can be a little challenging. It shows who America is really supporting … America, you are not repenting, but rather you are marching the other way, your iniquities are growing by the day ….

    In the meanwhile, in North Korea, things are getting a little bit … strange to say the least …

    Also, Israel seems to have attacked Syria again, even after Syria put Israel on notice …

    Brothers and sisters in Christ, the day is near, let us therefore hasten and do the work of God !

  • Archimandrite Iustin Parvu has reposed in the Lord

    Holy Father Iustin Parvu, you have conquered this world, and the red beast of the apocalypse, the communism, could not silence you. They put you in jail for 18 years, yet you stood firm defending true Orthodoxy against all those that tried to destroy it. You came out victorious against all trials and tribulations, shaming the devil and revealing its evil works. You have now gone to receive your crown in the Heaven. Please pray for us, from the heights where few ascended, that we may have the strength to confront our tribulations when the hour comes, as it is near! Thank you for everything you have done for us and for all the Holy Martyrs that had the courage to take a stance against communism.

    Update: It is already being reported that pleasantly odored myrrh is streaming from Fr Iustin’s eyes and hands. Fr Iustin passed away on Sunday 16th of June 2013 at 22:40 at night (Bucharest time).

    Many considered Fr Iustin Parvu as being the Real Patriarch of Romania. It is so difficult to summarise Father Justin’s extraordinary achievements for the Church of Christ, in this very fallen world. Yes, he was beaten, jailed for many years, attempted to be murdered several times. They tried everything to force him to give up his Orthodox Faith, all to no avail. As many Romanians will be present at his funeral at the Monastery Petru-Voda that he built more than twenty years ago, many more and of all nations will remember him and pray for him. Obviously, he is the one who will be praying for us, especially from There, from the Everlasting Paradise where he will be resting in the Peace of his beloved Christ! Father Justin will be greeted by the Mother of God, Legions of Angels led by the Holy Archangel Michael, together with the glorious Faithful Fighters for Christ, like himself. All those from this magnificent generation of martyrs, who had their bones crushed by the demonic chiefs of this age, are powerful intercessors to our Redeemer. Father Justin Parvu is the last wonderful man of this kind, Crucified for our sake, like the Eternal Son of God! May God rest his soul in Peace! Father Justin, pray for us, the most awful sinners!
