As the crisis in Europe never really went away, it continues to rage subduing another nation: Cyprus. Over the weekend the EU offered Cyprus a bailout under conditions never heard of before in EU: that 10 % of population’s deposits be forfeited – that is for the mistakes of the few, the many are punished. The bolshevik confiscation and nationalization tactics are now coming to Europe and the West and people should not ignore these warning signs.

The consequences are dire, this has triggered bank runs and total chaos.

It may appear that this is a “targeted” action with the possible intention to justify a possible russian “reaction”

This could be the most important event on the gold market

The demolition of True Christianity seems to be relentless. The latest in the “series” is “The Bible”. Astonishing special effects, an 18 years old Joseph, a Mary as far as possible form Her true Orthodox image, a Jesus who’s mission is to “change the world” – it covers everything – just upside down. You can see the trailer here: The Bible – movie trailer

But that is not everything, “miracles” happened on the set all-throughout the production of this TV series: Mark Burnett says ‘weird things happened’ on ‘The Bible’ set

Of course the idea of “changing the world” in their view is something that has a whole different meaning since their message seems to be an open invitation to us to become part of this movement: ‘The Bible’ Series: An Invitation to ‘Change the World’

Is it a coincidence that this kind of message is spread by websites like “Sojourners” which has the following motto: “Faith in Action for Social Justice”? It may be worth pointing out that Sojourners’ website president is non other than Jim Wallis, Obama’s spiritual adviser.

A short overview of the meaning of this “social justice” movement can be found in our Mystery Of Iniquity section.

Is may seem we have got to see the days St Seraphim Rose talked about so much. We are going to take the opportunity again to emphasize how important is for the Orthodox people to now load with all the information they can while it is still possible. We beg of you to please start reading the “Orthodox Survival Course” we made available on our site because it really explains everything that is happening today in the world today.

As you may know, one thing the Jesuits are known for is their “Liberation Theology” doctrine! You need to understand how this is exactly what we have been saying about the “justice system of the coming antichrist”. Seeking “justice” this world is exactly the Chilianism Father Seraphim so often exposed and spoke out against. The same chilianism that the Roman Catholics call “Liberation Theology” is in fact Marxism masquerading as “Christianity”.

An interesting question was brought up in a Reuters article which seems to raise a very good question: as Jesuits vow to obey the pope, and the pope himself being a Jesuit, does it mean he now has to obey (worship?) himself ! “Who will the pope obey now? How will this obedience work?”

We would like to quote from Fr Seraphim’s A Letter to Thomas Merton, from 1962, which we strongly encourage you to read in entirety:

Such a goal [total peace instead of war in this world], of course, is quite comprehensible to the modern mentality; modern political idealism, Marxist and “democratic” alike has long cherished it. But what of Christianity? – and I mean full uncompromising Christianity, not the humanist idealism that calls itself Christian. Is not Christianity supremely hostile to all forms of idealism, to all reduction of its quite “realistic” end and means to mere lofty ideas? Is the ideal of the “abolition of war” really different in kind from such other lofty aims as the “abolition” of disease, of suffering, of sin, of death? All of these ideals have enlisted the enthusiasm of some modern idealist or other, but it is quite clear to the Christian that they are secularizations and so perversions of genuine Christian hopes. They can be realized only in Christ, only in His Kingdom that is not of this world; when faith in Christ and hope in His Kingdom are wanting, when the attempt is made to realize Christian “ideals” in this world – then there is idolatry, the spirit of Antichrist. Disease, suffering, sin, and death are an unavoidable part of the world we know as a result of the Fall. They can only be eliminated by a radical transformation of human nature, a transformation possible only in Christ and fully only after death.

You speak of “Christian action, the Christian who manifests the truth of the Gospel in social action, not only in prayer and penance, but also in his political commitments and in all his social responsibilities But why, if Christ’s Kingdom is not of this world? Is there really a Christian “social message” or is not that rather a result of the one Christian activity—working out one’s salvation with diligence?

Ominous signals are now surfacing everywhere that they are getting ready to set the rollercoaster off !

First I would like to quote one of the best Fund Managers in the world who was amongst the very few that predicted the crash of 08: Kyle Bass. He warns that the conditions of 07 are now back and much bigger:
The AIG if the World is BACK !”

Also, early indications are surfacing that they are preparing for The Next LIBOR Scandal -Gold and Silver

Let those that read understand ! The final capitulation of the catholic church is here ! Today, more than ever, the Orthodox Christians have to know what they stand for ! The persecution of true Christianity is near !

We will be continuing this conversation in the Apostate West section so please make sure you visit it regularly as we believe we reached the final turning point in Christianity !

Unfortunately the newly chosen pope only seems to confirm what we feared most ! Concluding the long path the catholic church embarked since the great schism from Orthodoxy in 1054, this pope promises to become the great enabler for the creation of the universal church of all religions – the church of “The Age of the Holy Spirit” as we explained in a recent post !

The universal religion pope is here !

These are indeed historic times ! Let them who read understand: “the jesuits have been known as scientists”

So who is this pope ?
He is the first pope in history that …

He has been chosen, we just don’t know who he is yet, but there was early indication of who he might be by reports of anti-mafia police raids to his offices 🙂 Promising start !

Update: it is the Argentinian Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio – the son of an Italian railway worker!

CNN: Francis, 76, is the first non-European pope in the modern … The name parallels one of the most venerated figures in the Roman Catholic Church, St. Francis of Assisi …

An interesting article … The Way of Francis of Assisi – The Way of Rome

This is an Orthodox Prophecy!

Isn’t this ever more obvious with each passing day ? So let us examine, how did it start what started in Russia?

Quote: most became victims when their government classified them as enemies of the state ! An unbelievable story – please read it !

Ever wondered what is really happening in America today? Ever since 911, the changes America has been put through are mind boggling. But the question nobody seems to find the right answer to is WHY?

Well, look at what america stands for today, what are her “values” which all the “kings” of the world have fornicated with? Turn on to MTV for example – what do you see? Everything is about carnal pleasures, lust and riches. Look at everything that comes out of Hollywood – what is the image that they promote? The superhero! Their whole culture is about worshiping superheros. Form the youngest age children are thought that the only goal in life they are to follow is to become a superhero – take Disney for example – have you seen any Disney movie or show? Kids are thought to worship idols and they follow their example throughout their whole life. In fact most pop singers and Hollywood actors were formed in the Disney studios ! I hope you have seen our recent post about all these “stars” pledging their souls to the devil !

Also, please consider the recent incident with Chris Kyle’s death, a national super-hero, who killed so many “bad guys” in america’s unjust wars. As Ron Paul correctly pointed out (and he seems to be the only one who gets it), “he who lives by the sword dyes by the sword” ! So much truth ! First of all, why is this relevant? An american “national hero” dies like villain ! This is a crude example where this whole national culture of the super-heros and supermen leads ! It is not insignificant, because it shows what will happen at national level ! The whole “american culture” is about creating super-heros, super-men, super-stars ! It is the country where all earthly, materialistic dreams can come true ! This is america – the greatest nation on earth which can not fail !

But think about it, what is a super-hero or super-man ? Isn’t it the “highest” form of an unrepented man – the unfailible man ? It is this particular aspect, nourished deep in their culture, that prevents the ordinary american to believe what his senses are telling him – that america can and will fail!

What about america’s financial system that the whole world adopted and fornicating with – Wall Street – the ultimate symbol of greed – where the bankers invented the most sophisticated financial casino to rip of the little guy ?

Another example of how far america has traveled down the road to perdition is noticing how much it turned away from a God fearing nation to one openly denying Christ! Have you watched Discovery Channel of National Geographic recently? How many times have you seen documentaries where they “prove” Jesus had a wife and children and did not rise from the dead but died like an ordinary man (see this)? Do you remember The Da-Vinci Code book and movie? Or when David Cameron showed up in New York with three coffins saying he had “proof” he found the tomb of Jesus and his remains (see this)? Or have you heard that they “found” the Gospel of Judas which completely contradicts the account of the Gospel we have known for 2000 years (see it here)? Are they not turning everything about Christianity upside down? Have you asked yourselves why, who is behind this?

Would then it be surprising to you to know that america is in fact today a “nation under judgement” which adopted a “spirit of defiance”? Have you seen Johnatan Cahn’s “The Harbinger”? You should ! Here are some links: here, here, and a very important update here.

One should see everything happening in the west (and especially in america) today as a warning sign ! God has allowed for the evil one to take over it and destroy it. They are looting everything out of it, its resources (water), its wealth (there is no gold left at the fed), all its blessings ! And all it is left with is DEBT, and her judgement day is near !

We hope that this makes it a little easier to put the events happening in america today in the right context !

The Orthodox Views Team !

As soon as america went on debt suspension pills the results are really dramatic – a debt hike of 300 billion in one month (February 2013), where normally we have seen monthly increases of around 100 billion. This kind of pills must have a strong shyness inhibition as a side effect. Way to go girl !

As we anticipated they are using this unique opportunity (the debt suspension) to pump the debt system up to the max before they let it blow up ….. have you not seen the DOW?

Feds Borrow $254 Billion in February

In even more euphoric news, the new head of the Japan Central Bank promises to start buying DERIVATIVES – the same drug prescription the FED is administering to their patient 🙂

Bank of Japan Will Consider Buying Derivatives

GET READY ! PREPARE !

While the world is holding its breath waiting for the next pope to be announced, we would like to take a moment and give these historical times a little bit of an orthodox flavor. Although it may not seem as something concerning orthodoxy, it is important for an orthodox Christian to understand why what is happening in the world is really happening. If you have read St Seraphim’s “Orthodox Survival Course” (which we made available on our site) you would have seen right from the beginning how important this attitude is.

It is no secret that the whole catholic world is conscious of the fact that they are now waiting to see their last pope, according to their own prophecy of Malachy. And they themselves are not trying to hide this either – it is like they want for this to be known – there have been even documentaries made about it. We as Orthodox Christians need to pay attention to this even if we do not consider catholic prophecies as genuine – and this is exactly the reason why! If you have read St Seraphim’s “Orthodox Survival Course” you may have come across Joachim of Floris’ theory of the “three ages” which has been adopted in the catholic church soon after the great schism from the Orthodox Church – at about the same time Malachy made his prophecy !

This catholic doctrine talks about the 3 ages, the “Age of the Father” corresponding to the Old Testament, the “Age of the Son” corresponding to the New Testament and the “Age of the Holy Spirit” (also referred to as the “New Age” – sounds familiar?). Although Joachim of Floris’ theory went so far off as to call Frederick II (1260) the antichrist, which of course is ridiculous, the idea of the third age is flourishing today in various forms. St Seraphim Rose in his book “Orthodoxy and the religion of the future” shows this as being the origin of the “Charismatic Revival” we see today.

In the “Orthodox Survival Course” (pages 11-12) you may find a detailed explanation of the significance of these deviations. We will only extract a small fragment to illustrate the idea:

“On the basis of the simple belief in the inspired character of the Scripture, Joachim could extract from it a strictly religious understanding of history and, on the one hand, discover in actual history the hidden presence of purely religious categories. This attempt to explain history religiously and the Revelation of St. John historically is no more and no less than an intricate elaboration of the Christian presupposition that the church is the body of Christ and that therefore her history is intrinsically religious and not merely a department of the history of the world. And, since the history after Christ is still on its way and yet revealed as having an end, the fullness of time is not to be conceived traditionally as a unique event of the past but as something to be worked out in future, in the perspective of which the church, from Christ until now, is not an everlasting foundation but an imperfect prefiguration. The interpretation of history thus necessarily becomes prophecy, and the right understanding of the past depends on the proper perspective for the future, in which the preceding significations come to their end. This consummation does not occur beyond historical time, at the end of the world, but in a last historical epoch. Joachim’s eschatological scheme consists neither in a simple millennium nor in the mere expectation of the end of the world but in a twofold eschaton: an ultimate historical phase of the history of salvation, preceding the transcendent eschaton of the new aeon, ushered in by the second coming of Christ. The Kingdom of the Spirit is the last revelation of God’s purpose on earth and in time. Consequently, the institution of the papacy and clerical hierarchy is limited to the second epoch. This implies a radical revision of the Catholic doctrine of succession from St. Peter to the end of the world. The existing church, though founded on Christ, will have to yield to the coming church of the Spirit, when the history of salvation has reached its plenitude. This ultimate transition also implies the liquidation of preaching and sacraments, the mediating power of which becomes obsolete when the spiritual order is realized which possesses knowledge of God by direct vision and contemplation. The real signification of the sacraments is not, as with Augustine, the signification of a transcendent reality but the indication of a potentiality which becomes realized within the framework of history.”

So the whole idea of a last pope and the turmoil and scandals in the catholic church today (which will likely only grow and lead to a crisis situation), give the perfect context in which the church will have to “renew” and “will have to yield to the coming church of the Spirit” which everybody will embrace as a natural transition !

FORBES only confirms what we already know: the DHS is preparing for domestic WAR !

Quote: “The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, so far to little notice. It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. As reported elsewhere, some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers. Also reported elsewhere, at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America.

Add to this perplexing outré purchase of ammo, DHS now is showing off its acquisition of heavily armored personnel carriers, repatriated from the Iraqi and Afghani theaters of operation.”
