  • Peace and tolerance?

    “Julian” (the apostate), “now that he was emperor, thought he could do as he liked. The [pagan] temples were opened and sacrifices were brought to their altars. To make the ordinance of the restoration of the old gods more effective, Julian summoned to the palace the Christian bishops, who were far from being of one mind and were divided by schism.” [These were the divisions between the Arians, the pseudo- or moderate Arians, and the Orthodox(my comment)]. “He warned them in polite terms to lay aside their differences and allow every man to practise his belief boldly without hindrance. His motive in insisting on this tolerance was that he knew that such a program would intensify the divisions among the Christians. Julian believed he would then no longer have to fear from public opinion at the reinstatement of paganism and its rites.” From the Synaxarion. 22.3. St Basil of Ancyra

    Comment:
    Is there anyone today that profits by the doctrine of complete and indiscriminatory “tolerance”? The Arians still exist (in many protestant doctrines). Other heresies have been added… Today, we all are asked to happily love one another, regardless of any “doctrinal differences”.

    Like Julian the Apostate, the modern world proclaims food and drink, enjoyment and hedonism – and young and old are deceived by these earthly joys, because they are all flesh… Even Christians have long ago stopped denying themselves. Their Bishops tell them to stop fasting!

    Julian knew Christianity intimately. He was raised in it, and knew how to fight it, where its weaknesses were.

    Will not the antichrist likewise know the traditions and prophesies, and also how poorly the Christians actually adhere to the teachings of the Saviour….? Will he not know how ignorant they are of TRUE spiritual life, and how thirsty they are for sensationalism?

    The only defense is to take up a serious spiritual life! With humility and self-denial, with firm faith and perfect love, with long-suffering and forgiveness, we may come to understanding and discern the true state if our souls, and the world, of the rulers, and the Churches.

  • Joe Biden calls for A NEW WORLD ORDER

    We always suspected Joe Biden was a key part of the new framework being erected. He is in fact the one who had warned us of a generated international crisis that would strike sometime during Obama’s administration, and was instrumental in creating Obamacare – the centerpiece of the whole “fundamental transformation” agenda.

    So i guess we reached the point where he can freely declare that the last thing left is, what else, a New World Order towards which the humanity is now ready to march to.

    The kind of fundamental transformation of America that we see today is nothing more than the fulfillment of the orthodox prophecy that says that what started in Russia will end in America. And as another proof of that, in case anyone had any doubt, MSNBC has just declared that our kids belong to the collective.

    This perspective should be helpful for all those who have heard all the allegations that Obama had a very clouded Marxist past but did not have a complete context in which this would all make sense. So is the last thing that needs to happen the international generated crisis?

  • Archimandrite Nektarios Moulatsiotis – “Let us prepare for the last war against Christianity!”

    This is a google translation of the following article:
    http://ortodoxia.md/articole-preluate/7043-arhimandritului-nectarie-moulatsiotis-sa-ne-pregatim-duhovniceste-pentru-ultimul-rzboi-impotriva-cretinilor

    Homily held in Holy Monastery of Saints Augustine and Seraphim of Sarov, February 23, 2013:

    I believe that the subject of the throne of Rome and the Pope resignation is a sign of events which, as we get informed sooner and inform our other brothers as well, will help understand what is happening today with humanity. I don’t believe that the Pope’s resignation is random.

    Many talk about conspiracies and scandals that made ​​him resign. I am interested in something else, namely that this pope was elected in 2005 and remained until 2013, only eight years, these years he considered important since the fourteenth century no other pope has resigned. Would this be happening by chance? I don’t think this is a coincidence …

    I will try, as we did in Chapter XIII of Revelation – which speaks for first beast that rises from the sea and which is called Leviathan (as they call prophecies of the Old Testament) – I commented on this beast and I “sewed” a costume for her that I tried to “dress” over events of our time – and you are the ones who will judge whether this suit fits our time or not further events will show if our interpretation is correct or not.

    Our discussion of the first beast took place a year or two ago, if I remember correctly, … where we saw this beast out of the sea that had 10 horns that give power (see power horn). Scripture itself tells us that the 10 horns are 10 kings, not kingdoms, but kings have power: they control. The truth is that today those that command the prime ministers and heads of state – which represent kingdoms – are bankers – 10 in number, the most powerful, have one common will, and (as Venizelos said) we are forced to obey the decisions they impose (these 10 kings). Greece has already signed three memorandums that we can not break. These kings are located in the Switzerland and see how they control all nations by debt. They lend money to states around the world in exchange for conditions that are found in memos they sign.

    The Beast is called Leviathan. Could it coincidence that the new natural gas deposits were discovered in territorial waters of Cyprus, were called by the Jews Leviathan? Beast out of the sea, which give the companies extracting oil, behind which, if you look, you will find Rockefeller and the 10 bankers. They govern nations and command what happens in the world. They also give orders that suddenly find that bonds issued by Spain and Greece are worthless: they have power to devalue, to raise and lower the stock. They have such power that if a government does not obey their command, to bankrupt and destroy entire states. They decide what your salary will have, how old you can be to work, when you retire, they decide all these and impose it to governments to follow. We can see that in Greece, the Greek government has no decision power, it is the Troika that makes all the decisions as a representative of these banks, and what we do contrary to them is unacceptable. Therefore who really governs: us or the banks? Summarizing, we say that these bankers have the power of kings, without being kings, and can decide on the fate of countries without being their legitimate leaders … and have a common view.

    I will read in chapter 17 of Revelation to remind you exactly what it says:

    “12. And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet taken the kingdom, but who will take possession of kings one hour with the beast.

    13. These have one mind, and give their power and strength unto the beast. ”

    14. They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them, for that is Lord of lords and King of kings, and will prevail and those with him – called and chosen and faithful. ”

    They will make war against Christians. Why will they start this war? Because they are the ones who have the power to impose marks on people’s hands and foreheads. They may decide that, in order to prevent tax evasion, money will cease to exist in their physical form and exist only in electronic form on cards. But because the card may be lost, banks have the right to change the rules by which the economic activity occurs, and can specifically require that the money be not on cards any more, but directly on our hands. If you want to buy, manage your money, get your pension and salary, you put a seal on hand. What does the Revelation say:

    “And it forces them all, both small and great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, to put the mark on their right hand or forehead”.

    The beast will take all the power and will order banks to impose this way of managing money for both people and governments. It will not be difficult. See how things have changed in Greece and in all nations. I believe that this is the first beast, which is called Leviathan and that comes from the sea, which has 10 horns and seven heads. The horns are nothing but the 10 bankers who are kings without a kingdom and leading worldwide including our country.

    This “suit I made” 2 years ago (meaning this vision was shared 2 years ago). Now, with the pope’s resignation, I come to “make another suit”.

    We see in chapter XII (and generally in Revelation) we are talking about two women.

    One of them:

    “And appeared a great wonder in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun and the moon was under her feet and wear the crown of twelve stars p”.

    The sun is Christ, the moon is sinful, fallen nature, and the 12 stars are the twelve apostles.

    Second woman:

    “This is a great dragon, red, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems.”

    Beware: This beast has seven heads bearing crowns. I will explain further. The other beast’s heads doesn’t have crowns, but the crowns are on the horns instead of the heads, which means the heads do not lead any more – because they do not wear crowns – but the horns do. Horns are the 10 banks that are empowered to rule.

    This is about a woman and beside her we see the beast, one with 7 heads and 10 horns.

    “And his tail dragging a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman which was to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon to be born ”

    … this is the first woman clothed in the sun, it is The True Church

    Let’s go back to the other beast, the one I described earlier in Chapter XIII.

    “And I beheld a beast out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads: name of blasphemy.”

    Looks like there are crowns on its horns, not on the heads as in Chapter XII. I think this is the same beast, it is not different: it has 7 heads and 10 horns.

    And what does it say next? Here in chapter 17 it says:

    “I saw a woman sitting on a red beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.”

    Here he sees another woman sitting … ,this other woman, as the Holy Fathers say, symbolizes the Church, is clothed with the sun, stepping on moon (the sins), and carries on her head a crown of the 12 Apostles. This is The One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, The Orthodox Church. But here we see another woman sitting on a red beast – that beast came from the sea, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. It does not say anything about crowns, we are not told where crowns are. Why? We will see … because power will given to the Beast.

    Therefore there are two women. One of them is The True Church of Christ, clothed with the sun. What does the other woman really represent? The one who sits on the beast, full of names of blasphemy, heresy, and “with whom the kings of the earth have fornicated?” All the kings were passed on to the woman and greeted her, saw her … But who is this woman?

    “Was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.”

    This cup is not Christ’s Body and Blood as like the other women’s. So here we are talking about another church that is dressed in red … How do cardinals dress? In red. And the pope comes with a dress of crimson scarlet cloaks adorned with precious stones, as Revelation says. So this woman sits on the beast, the devil and all the kings of the earth have passed by. Who dares to confront the Pope? Even our politicians, before being elected, we see them going to the Vatican. Why do politician do this?

    “And on her forehead a name written mystery: Babylon the great, mother of harlots and abominations of the earth”.

    And the angel asks, “Why do you wonder, John?” I’ll tell you the mystery of the woman … because John had already understood that the first woman represents the true Church of Christ.

    “I’ll tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.”

    Listen John!

    “The beast that you saw was and is not and will to rise from the bottomless pit and go to perdition.”

    The beast that you saw “was” the devil and now it is not. Why not any longer? Because John sees the era after Christ’s resurrection when Satan was bound. Following the Crucifixion and Resurrection devil was bound. And what does the Scriptures say? It will be let free for a short period before the end, to appear again. Until then (the end) the beast will have no power over the Christians unless we, through our sins, will again give it again this power, by the appearance of Antichrist. Therefore, at some point “it will rise from the depths”, and then forever will “go to perdition”.

    “And it will surprise those who dwell on the earth whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, seeing the beast that was and is not, but it will show.”

    “You should mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains above which the woman sits.”

    Behold the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, this church full of names of blasphemy, with the cup full of uncleanness. This woman sits in a city situated on 7 hills. What city is situated on seven hills? The Holy Fathers say that it is Rome, the city of 7 hills. Therefore there are not only 7 mountains, but there are also seven heads and seven kings – “But there are seven kings.” There are mountains and kings, and both.

    And what does John see? He sees a certain age, namely he sees kings of whom “five are fallen” … John sees the period from around year 2000. You’ll ask me where I drew this conclusion … If the suit is well cut, he sees around year 2000. Not before. You’ll understand where I get this:

    “Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while.”

    Five have fallen, the sixth still leads, the seventh has not come yet, but when he will stay for a little while in the city of Rome – which is the woman in red.

    Now go back to historical events: When did Vatican become kingdom, so the Vatican popes are in fact kings and wear crowns on their heads and stand on the royal throne? When was the Vatican State founded? I took official data from the Vatican’s website: Vatican became an independent state on 11 February 1929. Therefore the state before then had no leader. It was only the Pope. It wasn’t a kingdom. It became a Kingdom in 1929 (so they says their official website). The same Vatican official website is also telling us which were the popes since ’29 until today:

    1. Until 1939 – Pope Pius XI

    2. 1939-1958 – Pope Pius XII

    3. John XXIII

    4. From ’63 – Paul VI

    5. John Paul I

    6. From 78-2005 – John Paul II – whose repose we witnessed

    The sixth was John Paul II. Five have fallen, the sixth I see, is alive, it is John Paul II.

    And what he says about the seventh?

    “And when he comes he will stay for only a little while.”

    So when he comes, will not stay long, but will leave shortly. And here came Benedict who stayed very little and then resigned. When did he resign? A few days ago, on February 11 – the day the Vatican State was established on! Can it really be happening?

    Let’s see what he says next. We are now talking about the eight king:

    “And the beast which was and is not – is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition” (Revelation 17:11).

    This is the eighth beast that was and is not.

    “And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet taken the kingdom, but who will take possession of kings one hour with the beast” (Revelation 17:12).

    The 10 horns are the 10 bankers who have not yet taken the kingdom and who “have one mind, and give their power and strength unto the beast” (Revelation 17:13), that is the Pope.

    Have you heard the latest statements of the Vatican? Mussolini gave the Vatican billions to make their own bank. This bank is independent, it can always print money. The Vatican has just announced plans to join with the banks that lend to countries of the world. To unite with them in some way.

    Even a cardinal candidate for the role of Pope says that this must happen quickly in order to be in step with the events that take place globally and to create a world economic system. We should remind you what Pope Benedict said last year [in 2011 in fact, note] that mankind should go to a world government, and introduced in Vatican electronic access card (chip).

    “They have one mind, and give their power and strength unto the beast.”

    What the 10 think will be in line with the thinking of the eighth leader and will give the beast their power.

    “They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them, for that is Lord of lords and King of kings, and will prevail and those with him – called and chosen and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).

    “The waters which you saw, and above which the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

    And the ten horns that you saw and the beast will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and shall eat flesh and will burn her with fire. “(Revelation 17:15,16)

    The 10 horns will eventually turn against papists power.

    Benedict, in the last book he wrote, says that not the Jews are responsible for the crucifixion of Christ. The seventh pope, who stayed for a short while and who often spoke of the need of a world government, he considers the Jews guiltless. Therefore the harlot, finally, the 10 horns will completely destroy her. Why destroy her? Because they will not need her any longer. They will take power. The beast will not need her.

    “And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth” (Revelation 17:18).

    We know that the pope has influence over all kings of the earth.

    Therefore, does the Pope’s resignation have anything to do with Chapter 17 in the Apocalypse?
    Does “The costume that I sewed” fit what happens today? I am not to decide, you are the ones who will decide if it fits.

    There are two women: one is the true Church of Christ and the other woman, who sits on the beast and wages war against the True Church. And we know very well from history how much the Orthodox people suffered at the hands of the papists. The reason we lost Constantinople, Asia Minor, Alexandria, Jerusalem is because of this “dirty woman”, harlot, called the Latin Church. The Latins are to blame for what happened during the Crusades when we lost Asia Minor and Constantinople. They fought with the true Church of Christ. Therefore they are the beast.

    As often seems the eighth pope is the Antichrist himself – an option – or is the False Prophet who will enthrone the Antichrist.

    Therefore we are in front of decisive events. During Chapter 13 you may recall that John saw another beast – not one that rises from the sea:

    “And I saw another beast rising out of the earth, and he had two horns like lamb, but he spoke like a dragon,

    “And the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. And makes the earth, and the inhabitants of him to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. ”

    The second beast had two horns, looks like a lamb, but speaks like a dragon. So it is the wolf in sheep’s clothing. And it says it uses all the power of the first beast. Holy Saints interpret this as being the religious and political power, combined into the institution of Papacy. And indeed the Vatican became a state in 1929. Therefore the pope has two powers. Why do I say that John was having his revelation around the year 2000?

    John says that this beast causes people to worship the first beast, that is the devil. Accept bankers plan to accept the seal.

    “And he does great signs, that even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

    And deceives them all that dwell on the earth by the signs and were given to do before the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and is alive.

    And given them to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should also speak unto and to kill as many as would not worship the image of the beast ”

    And we see the events that will follow what all these things, because the events now taking place before our eyes very quickly. You are the ones who will decide if this costume I see him in the papal resignation is correct or not. If the Vatican will unite with the 10 bankers, events will take place very quickly. And immediately begin war against Christians. I mean everything will undermine Christianity. They will require everyone to put on the seal. Christians will be persecuted against.

    What comes next will show if what John saw in chapter 17 of Revelation was about the fall of Vatican, Rome Benedict and the Latin Church. Whether the eighth Pope is the Antichrist or not [can not be, since the prophecies of the Holy Fathers say he will be a Jew, not a Pope] or False Prophet. Revelation reveals itself slowly …

    If my interpretation is correct, then we need to prepare ourselves spiritually because then the events against Christianity, of all of us, will take place very quickly and spiritually we must be able to meet this situation. But we must not despair or lose courage because John says that the Lamb will overcome eventually. It will be like this: Christians will win and will follow Christ. Amen!

  • Two Great Schisms

    Archbishop Anthony of Geneva: Splinter groups in Orthodoxy

    An excerpt from Archbishop Anthony of Geneva taken from http://internetsobor.org/rptcz/tcerkovnye-novosti/rptcz/arkhiepiskop-antonii-zhenevskii-raskolnicheskiia-gruppy-v-pravoslavii.

    Correspondent: ROCA incl. April 3, 2013 . Posted in ROCOR (Views: 38)

    Yes, they do exist. Some call them divisive, others – confessors. Why is this so?

    Let us first establish the facts of what is sure and certain in the Church of Christ. No one doubts that until the unhappy year 1917, the Church was UNITED. The “dissident” groups, as they are called now, were born from the Russian Revolution. The oneness of the Orthodox world was shaken at the crashing of Bolshevik guns. The largest and most prosperous of the Orthodox Churches – the Russian Church – suffered a terrible blow – through the destruction of the hierarchy, priesthood, believers, men, women and children. The Russian land was covered with the blood of martyrdom. She shone by the feat of Her martyrs.

    Yet, at this great moment, when it seemed that every mouth must fall silent in the completeness and unity of the church, when everyone should have stood in fear and trembling, when the Church of Christ was to contemplate the greatness and incomprehensibility of the awe-ful, sacrificial love that the children of the Russian Church were bringing to the Heavenly Father, the first split occurred in the depths of Her.

    It is sad to say, but it is necessary to mention, that in 1923, the Ecumenical Patriarch Meletios IV convened a meeting of all the local Churches on the Holy Mount Athos. He obviously knew in advance that the representatives of the confessing Russian Church could not come to the meeting from the Soviet concentration camps and prisons. They were not needed for the proposed business of the meeting!

    To the honor of Orthodox world only five Churches responded to the invitation of Patriarch Meletios. Despite this, decisions were made at the proposals of the patriarch, such as regarding a married episcopate, a second marriage for widowed priests, for shortening of services and the reduction of fasting, simplification of priestly dress and the new calendar, etc.

    This meeting, penetrated by the unexpected spirit of modernism, inaugurated the first and heaviest division in Orthodoxy. This division has not been healed. To this day, it creates “schismatic” groups that protest against the modern Patriarch of Constantinople. However, the Patriach of Constantinople has apparently forgotten about who gave birth to the existence of these groups, or thinks that others have forgotten?

    Again we say that, thanks to the honor of the Orthodox Churches, not all the soul-destroying modernist reforms were put into effect. But the new calendar was. It now divides the Church into two parts: the Jerusalem, Russian, Serbian, and I think also Sinai Churches, remained with the old calendar. So most of the world did not accept the reforms of Orthodox Patriarch Meletios, but stayed true to the traditions. The remaining local Churches, by moving to the new calendar, create and produce internal divisions between new and old calendarists.

    The second split in the Church has divided Her for a protracted time. This split was created by Metropolitan Sergius of Nizhny Novgorod. By “saving” the Church, as he thought blasphemously, through collusion and cooperation, and later complete submission to militant atheism in the face of Soviet power, the Metropolitan created what we now call “sergianism.” He acted arbitrarily without the consent of the hierarchs of the Russian Church, who were then, almost without exception, in the Soviet camps and were willing to die for Christ and His Church!

    This is how Metropolitan Sergius split the Russian Church – creating on the one hand his followers – the Moscow Patriarchate, and on the other, what the “Sergianists” now call “splinter groups”, both within and outside of Russia.

    Who is to blame and who will be responsible?

  • St. Nicholai Velimirovic – Europe and The Jews

    A fragment from the book “The prison window”

    “That Europe does not know, and that is all her miserable fate, all the dark tragedy of its peoples. She does not know anything other than what Jews provide as the knowledge. She does not believe anything other than what Jews (read Zionism) order to her to believe. She does not know how to appreciate anything as long as its value does not Jews put their scales to measure value. Her most learned sons are atheists, by the recipes of the Jews. Her greatest scientists teach that the nature is the main god, and there is no God outside of nature, and Europe receiving that. Its politicians like sleepwalkers in ecstasy speak of the equality of all beliefs and disbeliefs. All the modern European slogans have been made by Jews, who crucified Christ: and democracy, strikes, socialism, and atheism, tolerance of all faiths, pacifism, and the universal revolution, capitalism, and communism. These are all inventions of Jews, and of their father the devil. Surprising is that the Europeans, completely surrendered to the Jews, so they think with Jews head, Jewish programs receiving, acquire Jewish fighting against Christ, Jewish lies as truths receiving, Jewish slogans receiving as their, they walk Jewish way and serve Jewish goals.”

    The original text in Serbian:

    „То Европа не зна, и у томе је сва очајна судба њена, сва мрачна трагедија њених народа. Она ништа не зна осим оног што јој Жидови пруже као знање. Она ништа не верује осим оног што јој Жидови заповеде да верује. Она не уме ништа да цени као вредност док јој Жидови не поставе свој кантар за меру вредности. Њени најученији синови су безбожници (атеисти), по рецепту Жидова. Њени највећи научници уче да је природа главни бог, и да другог Бога изван природе нема, и Европа то прима. Њени политичари као месечари у заносу говоре о једнакости свих веровања и неверовања. Сва модерна гесла европска саставили су Жиди, који су Христа распели: и демократију, и штрајкове, и социјализам, и атеизам, и толеранцију свих вера, и пацифизам, и свеопшту револуцију, и каптализам, и комунизам. Све су то изуми Жидова, односно оца њихова ђавола. За чуђење је да су се Европејци, потпуно предали Жидовима, тако да жидовском главом мисле, жидовске програме примају, жидовско христоборство усвајају, жидовске лажи као истине примају, жидовска гесла као своја примају, по жидовском путу ходе и жидовским циљевима служе.“

  • The Antichrist and “Shock And Awe”

    Fr Seraphim Rose once said “Antichrist will be a master of illusion, of ‘shock and awe’, taking away people’s freedom, but making them think that they have been freed”.

    Does this not describe precisely what we see in the world today? Look at what is happening in the west.

    How true these words sound nowadays when this expression is used everywhere, from the american military campaign in Iraq to the most recent Quantitative Easing (aka money printing) campaign in Japan.

  • Europe is dying, Christ is alive. Choose life, to be alive forever.

    Where is the greatest darkness? Where the most powerful light shines and then fades away. There is the greatest darkness. In the market where hundreds of lights shine and where nightlight competes with the daylight, when all the lights go out, then, that market is darker than the gypsies’ unlit tents.

    Oh, my brothers in Christ, today I opened my eyes and saw such a market, and it was so bright, brighter than the sunny skies. But all the lights came off, and we saw from the heights of Balkans a valley without lights, as dark as a mole’s hole. That market is recognized on the world map as Europe whose nations deem to be the equivalent of atheism and mercilessness.

    What is Europe?

    It is greed and intelligence. Both human: human greed and thirst for human knowledge. And these two are best embodied by the Pope and Luther. What is therefore Europe? Pope and Luther. Culmination of human greed and thirst of human knowledge. The Pope is the embodiment of human greed for power. Luther the European human determination to learn all through intelligence; Pope as ruler of the world and the scientist as the master of the world. This is the essence of Europe. The former means throwing mankind into the fire, the second means throwing mankind into the sea. And both mean the alienation of man from God.

    For the first means denial of faith, and the second denial of Christ’s Church. In this way, the evil spirit has manifested in Europe for centuries. Who can it ward off this terrible evil spirit? No one but He who is known in the history of mankind as only power capable to fight against demons. It is Jesus Christ, the Messiah and Saviour of the world, one born of the Virgin, killed by Jews, resurrected by God, showed by heaven, glorified by angels and acknowledged by saints.

    As long as Europe has followed Christ, “Sun of Righteousness,” and apostles, martyrs, saints and His innumerable pious and righteous followers, she resembled to the market lit by hundreds and thousands of lights. But when greed and human intelligence opposed Christ as two storms, lights before people faded away and darkness engulfed the market. According to human greed, every nation and every human being seek power, pleasure and glory just after image of the Pope of Rome. According to human intelligence, each nation and every human being consider themselves the most intelligent, saying that they are entitled to all the wealth on earth. How wouldn’t these lead to wars between nations and between people? How wouldn’t these cause madness and anger among people? Or epidemic, drought, floods, disease, revolutions, and wars? And these are supposed to happen, however, as to protrude pus from infected wounds as to disperse the stink of impurity and lawlessness.

    Papacy uses politics as a means to gain power. Lutheranism uses philosophy and science, because it believes they will help attain knowledge. So greed started war against knowledge, and knowledge against greed. This is the new Tower of Babylon, this is Europe. But in our time arose a new European generation who brought, through atheism, greed and intelligence together and denied and discarded the Pope and Luther. Now no one hides greed and no one praises intelligence. Human greed and human intelligence are nowadays brought together through one marriage that is neither Catholic nor Lutheran, but clearly an openly satanic. Europe today is neither Papist nor Lutheran. She is outside these and beyond.

    She is entirely earthly, without any desire to ascend to heaven. She cannot ascend to heaven by using infallibility “passport” or Protestant intelligence scale. She renounced the journey to heaven. She wants to stay here. She wants its tomb where the cradle was. She has not known the other world. She does not feel the heavenly fragrance. She does not see in her dream angels and saints. She does not want to hear of Mother-of-God. Fornication strengthens the hatred against virginity. The whole market is covered in darkness. All lights are off. Oh, what a terrible darkness! Brothers kill each other believing they are enemies. Father denies his son and the son his father. The wolf is a more faithful friend to wolf than man is to man.

    Oh my brothers in Christ, don’t you see this? Didn’t you experienced for yourselves antichristian Europe’s darkness and iniquity? You want to go with Europe or with Christ? With death or with life? Ask yourselves. Lighten up. Decide. Death or life. These two Moses put before his people. And we put before you. Be aware: Europe is death, Christ is life. Choose life, to be alive forever. Amen.

  • It is going to get really bad really soon

    Russia are amassing huge military resources in the Black Sea region (according to the following Greek article, 250 TOMA tanks, 30 war ships and submarines, lots of air power support, over 7000 soldiers), all just a few kilometers away from the Turkish shore (see original article on defencenet.gr – google translation here). North Korea situation also escalates declaring war on south and warning America.

    At the same time, what we have been fearing would come seems to already be here – the big nationalization and communist takeover of the world is at hand, and even the rich are now fearing what they see coming. A Bloomberg article reveals that depositors in Cyprus are up to loosing 60% of their money.

    There are also reports about Canada hiding “depositor haircut provisions” in their 2013 budget legislation as well. Similar news are now surfacing about the FDIC in the US and Bank of England where these 2 institutions are co-ordinating their efforts to put in place measures that enable deposit confiscations.

    And on top of all this, Japan has just announced the biggest, boldest, Shock-And-Awe QE (Quantitative Easing – yes, just what the FED is doing) campaign ever, taking the ongoing currency war to a whole new level. In fact this action by Japan is so worrysome, many top financial analysts say this is in fact the start of a worldwide trade war – making Lindsey Williams right yet again.

    Early signs of an economic meltdown have already started to appear with a massive panic in the bond market Japan today (5th of April), and many voices in the financial industry are warning the complete meltdown is near.

    Billionaire Jim Rogers, George Soros’ long time investment partner says: “You Better Run for the Hills! Get your money out of the Banks, they are going to loot it. You better hurry!”. Jim Rogers also says in another interview that YEN will be the first currency to collapse.

    Marc Faber, another heavyweight name in the financial industry also fears the governments will come after his wealth. As he shows in a recent interview, the economic picture is rather dire than optimistic like the mainstream media would like us to believe. Form observing what is currently happening in the precious metal markets, the ferociousness of the cartel attacks against gold and silver, it appears the current massive effort to push the prices down is indeed the last and this may be the final opportunity for people to buy – it is extremely important for them to take the prices of gold and silver down during this time to discourage bank runs.

    News of another bank, the oldest bank in the world, Monte dei Paschi, also report that a bank run that led to loosing billions of euros in deposits has been ongoing since February. This is not particularly good news given the fragility of the political and economic situation in Italy.

    China and Brasil have also, just days ago, signed their biggest accord to shift away from the US dollar, and we have just learned that Australia has just done the same. This only comes to prove what Lindsey Williams had been warning about for years.

  • St Symeon the New Theologian on The Heresy of Weakness

    There was a conflict between abbot Symeon and some of the brothers at the monastery. In actuality, these brothers were jealous, and wanted to be rid of their saintly abbot. They would not obey his teachings which lead to a God-pleasing, perfect monastic life.

    St Symeon says of them: “Here are those of whom I speak and who are called heretics by me. They are the ones who say that in our present age there is no one in our midst who is able to observe the commandments and be like the holy fathers….Those who declare this is impossible have fallen not into one particular heresy but into all of them, so to speak – a heresy surpassing all others in its impiety and greatest blasphemy. They are buried underneath it….The one who speaks in such a manner turns all of Scripture upside down….These antichrists affirm, “It is impossible, impossible”. Why then is it impossible? Tell me. In what other way did the saints shine on earth and did they become lamps of the world? If it were impossible, they would never have succeeded in it. For they were men like us, and possessed no more than we do except a will directed toward the good. They had zeal, patience, humility, and love for God. Therefore, acquire all this and your soul which today is as hard as rock shall become a fountain of tears inside you. However, if you refuse to suffer such anguish and affliction, at least do not say that all this is impossible.” St Symeon the New Theologian, The Discourses. Discourse XXIX: The Heresy of Pusillanimity.

    And what do our modern “Orthodox” pastors teach? “It is impossible”, they say, “to keep the fasts….for monks to be monks….” The lazy and indifferent people eagerly take up this new teaching of the pseudo-bishops, because it caters to their flesh.

    “It is not necessary”, say they, “to confess sins to a priest… to enter monasteries….to pray according to the “long-winded” service books…. to deny women the Priesthood….to deny sodomites marriage…”

    When the people have been taught to abandon Orthodox practices altogether, they have no more care for Orthodox doctrine either. This is the point at which we stand today. In this way, the people are made ready to accept the Antichrist, who teaches a different faith, and an easier practice, than the Apostolic way, while preserving the outward form, vestments, chanting, and glory of Orthodoxy….

  • Who is science serving today ?

    Every day we learn of more “scientific facts” that seem to “prove” that everything God created is wrong and leads to the destruction of the Earth. For quite a while now, we have been bombarded with studies that climate change is a man made disaster (no mention of climate manipulation and geo-engineering), that man is a pest for the Earth – not the pinnacle of the creation and made in the image of God as Christianity teaches. We have also been thought that the rest of the creation is bad as well: feral camels are bad for the environment, and cows are bad for the environment too. Now the “science” is saying earthworms are bad for the Earth as well and soon man will be. It is all related to the carbon tax, you see? It is all about something that was exposed as a hoax through the breaking of the Climagate scandal which truly exposed the real nature of this green movement.

    They are turning man against God, himself and the whole of Creation!

    So one has to ask, who is science serving today? Is is not the coming antichrist who is using the science to “prove” the whole order of God as being wrong and needing replacing with a “new order”? What about the whole effort of genetically enhancing everything (GMOs), curing every disease through genetically created spare organs – is this not the same “science” where they are trying to prove that God’s creation is imperfect and implicitly God is imperfect?

    This is the same spirit Fr Seraphim Rose fully exposed in his book “Genesis, Creation and Early Man” where he shows the same kind of deception being behind the theory of evolution of man (for those interested to read the book we have a copy of it in electronic format). This is all explained in detail in St Seraphim’s “Orthodox Survival Course” where it is shown how the future world order of the antichrist will be one where religion, science and political will fusion together into one system.

    Orthodoxy teaches that this world is in a fallen state due to being corrupted, but God can restore it to its original state and that can only be achieved through repentance, not science !
