The Abomination of Desolation standing in the Holy Place – part 3

Alexander Dugin has just called for the “Day of Judgement” for America and the West (Babylon The Great). For “God put it in their hearts to burn her with fire and eat her flesh because of her iniquities that have reached out to heaven” (i am paraphrasing from the book of Revelation here).

The Abomination of Desolation standing in the Holy Place – part 2

On 17th of December 2022 we published the following article which can be found here: http://orthodoxaustralia.org/2022/12/17/the-abomination-of-desolation-standing-in-the-holy-place/ To continue in the same spirit, In Daniel 12:11 we read: “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days”

How important is the correct translation of the Gospel in spreading the true word of God?

We find it all in 1 Corinthians Chapter 14 (KJV). The letter of St Paul to the Corinthians is fully dedicated to making the point of how important the word of God is to be properly translated into other languages, not from a linguistic point of view but also from the point of view of

“Peace be onto you!”

John 20:19-23 (KJV): “Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then

The Coming Banking Crisis that will reshape the world

A few years ago, 6 years ago to be more precise, Christine Lagarde, the IMF director, was predicting the demise of the current banking system and the triumph of cryptocurrency. Not was she only suggesting just that but she was also making some astonishing predictions like the end of fractional reserve banking, and national monies –

The golden chain of sanctity

There have always been two ways for grace to be passed on in the Church: the apostolic succession, and another one far less understood: “the golden chain of sanctity” as Fr Herman of Platina of blessed memory (and others before him) used to call it. Often, when one looks at the apostolic succession matter of

For the Love of Truth

MATTHEW 24:12 “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” The love of many shall grow cold … much has been written about this passage, but what is its deeper meaning? What kind of love is the Evangelist

The Abomination of Desolation standing in the Holy Place

“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoso readeth, let him understand), then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains.”  (Matthew 24:15-16 ) It is important to note that this passage clearly states that “whoso readeth, let him understand“.

ROCOR in Desperate Search of an Identity

(an article by Fr Andrew Phillips of orthodoxengland.org.uk) Orthodox Australia Editor Note: I pray that now, seeing what they are being asked to support in Russia, some may find it wise to “reconsider” this unholy union into which ROCOR were hijacked. I am surprised this was published on Orthodox England website. A few years ago

“Not of This World”: The uncensored life of Fr Seraphim Rose

When reading the latest edition of Fr. Seraphim Rose’s biography “Life and Works”, I had mixed feelings – it was a fiery and inspiring read, full of life and filling me with a yearning for struggling with Orthodoxy, but at times, it felt like it dampened me with a wet blanket. It was very strange,

Orthodox Survival Course has been translated and published in Romanian

Fr Seraphim’s and Herman’s Orthodox Survival Course in Romanian has been released online with the great efforts of Ninel Ganea and some other people who have found it important enough to not let such masterpiece end up buried in history by the ignorance of many. Ninel Ganea, who has a philosophical background, rather than theological,

New Lectures Of Fathers Seraphim Rose and Herman Podmoshensky

Orthodox Prophecy vs. Orthodox Common Sense (Orthodox Worldview)

I touched on this subject before, but i feel like i have to reiterate it. The purpose of a Christian life is to acquire that “Orthodox Common Sense” (the presence of the Holy Spirit) in our lives. Thus this needs to be our main focus. If we start to over-rely on fulfillment of certain prophecies

PURGATORY – REFUTED BY THE Holy Fathers of the Church

First Homily of St. Mark of Ephesus On Prayer for the Dead and Against the Roman Catholic Purgatory Inasmuch as we are required, preserving our Orthodoxy and the Church Dogmas handed down by the Fathers, to answer with love to what you have said, as our general rule we shall first quote each argument and

LUKE CHAPTER 16 1-15

(please note comments after certain verses) Is there a parable in the Gospel that applies better to the current situation in the world, when today, the learned of the law (the pharisees of old) have courted with the rich and the powerful of the world, and when caught choose to dig in their heels even

Official letter sent to Victorian premier Dan Andrews on July 2nd 2020

Dear Mr Andrews, I am writing you to express my grave concerns about the political situation created in the name of a common cold somehow designated by this government a “pandemic”. I don’t have time to elaborate in full, but i can develop much more on this subject in a public hearing which i am

God as a “set of moral values”?

As we have been suspecting all along, the MP have reduced God to a “set of moral values and ideals”. Consequently they can now boldly claim that “the Soviet Union was based on a Christian moral paradigm”. No wonder the mission of the church had to be perverted to declare social causes as the primary

Appeal to the Australian Parliament to allow us to have our voices heard

(this appeal has been sent to the Australian Parliament and MP Michael Sukkar on Sunday May 24th 2020) Dear Sir/Madam, The mainstream media continues to try to label us conspiracy theorist and devise plans to do so, but they continually avoid the real questions raised by us and some other orthodox people. Like the agenda

The worldwide glorification of communist ideals

Are people paying attention? Because this falls straight in line with what we have been saying for a long time. Alexandr Dugin and others (Patriarch Kirill, President Putin etc) have been promoting the narrative that the “West is the kingdom of Antichrist” for years. Of course that’s just to distract the attention towards a fake

The Samaritan woman and the “Church Organization”

The struggle against the idea of “Church as an Organization” is today just as difficult (if not even more difficult) as it was then. In 2000 years of Christianity nothing has changed, the True Church, The Catacomb Church is still very much denied today as it was back then. In the Gospel of the Samaritan

1945 AND THE MP’S “THEOLOGY OF VICTORY”

By Vladimir Moss (2010) Foreword: This is most important read because it shows how what we have been saying for a long time, the perversion of the Gospel and replacing it with a new doctrine: Liberation Theology and Social Gospel, has progressed to the point we are at now. We said that Crete was the

Trump’s “trade deal” – the IMF takeover of the financial system is confirmed !

The wording is very broad and lacking of specific details. There will be a lot of “regulations” each country will have to implement. It appears most of the details of the implementation of the agreement were left out and what was agreed on is that the two parties will work together to coordinate implementation. How

Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s

Matthew 22-19 to 21 “Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, whose is this image and superscription. Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s” Back then the money were bearing the image of the Caesar,

Trump, cryptocurrencies and the sinking of the Titanic (the current financial system)

A very interesting article ! The rise of blockchain and the sinking of the “Titanic”, on the background of Trump’s rising to power … Get it? Titanic is the current financial system while Blockchain is … “The Final Phase of the Protestant Reformation and Jesuit Counter-Reformation” More: “All of this aligns with the rise of

The Heresy of Arianism in Modern Day Russia

If you have been following us, by now you will probably have become accustomed with our view that the current Russian political and religious authorities are astute adherents of the heresy of Social Gospel, which are just the old communist ideals repackaged, despite claims that “communism fell in 1989”. We exposed much of how these
