The details about the spontaneous revolt in Turkey hides something more sinister than the mainstream media would like to have us believe – upon careful examination we can clearly see the same spirit in action as it was the case with Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement – it is the Zeitgeist, or “The Spirit of the New Age<\/font>“.<\/p>\n

In the following blog<\/a> we can read:<\/p>\n

Last week of May 2013 a group of people most of whom did not belong to any specific organization or ideology got together in Istanbul\u2019s Gezi Park. Among them there were many of my friends and<\/font> yoga students<\/font>. Their reason was simple: To prevent and protest the upcoming demolishing of the park for the sake of building yet another shopping mall at very center of the city<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

And they do seem to be under the influence of some kind of “spirit of revolution” since they even admit: “Today, we are all someone new<\/font> !”<\/a><\/p>\n

You may remember that particular to the OWS protests was something weird happening: in many instances the crowds would repeat, blindly, like mindless zombies in some sort of a trance, everything that the speaker would say, looking like the crowds were hypnotized by the same “spirit” …<\/p>\n

The same “spirit” is the one that animated the Arab Spring … and it is taking over the whole world. As the iniquities are growing by the day, so is this “spirit of justice” … the mystery of iniquity is being revealed to the world.<\/p>\n

And just in time, to give his full support to the movement, just like Glenn Beck did with The Blaze”, David Icke has just launched a TV network<\/a> to help with the “awakening”.<\/p>\n

We as Orthodox Christians need to resist joining in such movements and understand that justice can only come from God as a result of our repentance, and accept that injustices that are being brought upon us are a result of our sins and departure from God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
