1. QUESTION Father, much has been written about the engraving and chip that people will be forced to put on their bodies in the time of the Antichrist. What would you tell us about this issue, which concerns us all? The human body is one of the most magnificent wonders of God's Creation. I can say that it is unique in all of God's creation. So God wanted to be our body , in which he would place our immortal soul , His Temple , to be worshiped there by all of us, His children, as a king God the Father . The Holy Bible says that we are " the temple of the living God ". Satan cannot win a man's soul unless he first wins his body. That is why he tries in a thousand ways to contaminate our body, so that it ceases to be " God's temple " and can thus dominate it . Until now, Satan has been trying to dominate man by using his human weaknesses. Thus he made man susceptible to many and various great sins such as immorality , drugs , murder , witchcraft , and many others. However, every time that man repented of his mistakes and God forgave him, the binds and his plans. So Satan was looking for another way to control completely the mind of man, and to be able to better direct , control and dominate man's thoughts , desires and feelings . found the way . With the artificial intelligence of computers and a series of specific specialized vaccines, it will interfere with the chain of the human genetic code , the DNA, and change it . Thus, the now mutated human DNA instead of acting under Divine Intelligence , as God created it, will now act under the orders of artificial intelligence , which will be directed by the satanic staff of the Antichrist! In fact, in order to better control each person individually, some elements of the code in the mutated human DNA will form the necessary basis to create an identity, an exclusive identity, with a personal number , which will be unique for each person. This personal number on the DNA of each person will now be indelible , permanent and irrevocable. This number of man, with the number 666 preceding it, will indicate to whom this man belongs and with it he will be registered in the central supercomputer of the Antichrist, the famous " Beast ", with which all the rest of his computers will be connected satanic antichrist state. In order for all computers to easily read this human number, a shortcut icon will be created on the surface of the human body, on the forehead and on the hand . Every human activity , such as saving , buying , selling , and in general every action , will be completely controlled and dependent on his specific personal number . It will be his official ID . Without that number, that person simply wouldn't exist . plan in the first phase is to turn the human body into a mobile transceiver , just like a mobile phone is , so that he can easily dominate it. 2. QUESTION How will man be transformed into a mobile transceiver, "a mobile phone"? To build a house one needs two things. The materials that will be needed for the construction and the appropriate technicians that will work to build and perfect it. As for the materials needed to build the new human mutant DNA, Satan made sure to slowly and cunningly collect them gradually in the human body. He transferred them to our body through what we eat , drink and breathe , which he had previously contaminated with various invisible to the eye materials , of high nanotechnology . Then, a series of 7 specially specialized vaccines will play the role of 7 specialized technicians who will undertake to make the new mutated human DNA, with the materials that have already entered the human body. The purpose of the 7 vaccines will be to weaken and in the end cancel the possibility of man to become, through the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit, the " temple of God ". The most important of the seven vaccines will be the seventh . The seventh vaccine will be the crown of nanotechnology , since it will be introduced , without any reversal , into the final mutated human DNA, the element that will incorporate the necessary code on which the number - seal of each person will be written. I must repeat that restoring human DNA to its original state will now be impossible, therefore those who take the satanic " sealing " will be captive for life to the most destructive decision for their existence. This number will not be something visible that can be removed from the human body but something invisible since it will be one with the DNA of the person , that is, his very life . This number will then be connected to a supercomputer, the famous " Beast ", which will be operated by the Antichrist himself and his people, who will also exercise absolute power. With the help of artificial intelligence , which will have developed to such a strong point that it is now deified by people, the Antichrist and his demonic staff will be able to control , dominate and direct thoughts , decisions , desires and the feelings of each person. Every form of different thought or reaction will be made known through the technical intelligence of the " Beast " and the demonic staffs of the Antichrist, will decide the death or, at best, the erasure of the existence of the particular human transceiver . 3. QUESTION Who are they who will help satan carry out his plan to destroy man? Lucifer in recent years has managed to place many satanic people devoted to him in key positions of the world's threefold power , i.e. politics , science and religion . Thus Lucifer will be able to rule: 1. Politics, through the bankers who control the money and determine the political decisions. 2. Science, through satanic scientists who make weapons, infectious viruses and other satanic constructs capable of destroying man and God's Creation. 3.Religion , through religious leaders subordinate to him, which he slowly took care to raise to leadership positions in the church. His religious leaders are willing to obey , implement and promote easily and without resistance , his antichrist plans and laws. In fact, they are the only ones who can easily, under the pretext of the virtue of " obedience ", seduce the multitude of the people, as their leaders and " shepherds ". One of the most important actions of Lucifer will be to convince all these religious leaders to unite, for the sake of so-called universal love and peace , in a universal religious unity, the " World Church ". Thus, in order for the Antichrist to be believed and accepted in the Christian world, he will use, as the Apocalypse of John says, as his partner the False Prophet , the satanic man who will lead the Universal Church at that time . He, as the leader of the Church, will try to convince all Christians to receive the final sealing of the supposedly real "Christ", i.e. the Antichrist . 4. QUESTION Has this all started? Yes , but they are still in the early stages. We are now in the experimental phase of vaccines. Before the appearance of those seven special and specialized vaccines, which will build the new mutant DNA of humans, a series of experimental vaccines will first be tested on millions of people with uncontrolled and dangerous side effects. Some of these, because they will interfere with the chain of the genetic code of human DNA, will cause the natural self-defense of DNA, resulting in new powerful diseases. These will be, for a long time, incurable . Doctors will not be able to easily find a cure for these diseases, resulting in millions of people dying. Before the final stamping, which will be done on the human DNA itself , there will first be a global effort to give all people a personal number . This number will not be the actual " engraving ", but a protector of it, in order to acquaint man with the final " engraving-seal ". a document at first , on cards and other legal papers, and then, to make it more functional in government services, so that it can be easily found and read by the computers of the technical services, it will become digital . So, all governments will give all their citizens a personal number , with which they will be able to carry out all their necessary activities , which will concern either their relationship with the state , such as identity cards, taxation and others, or their survival , such as buying and selling. Then, with the help of artificial intelligence , all the numbers of these people will be connected to a central global supercomputer , the " Beast ". Thus, within the "Beast" all the people of the world will be registered and recorded , with all their personal information . As a pretext, for this great world argument, they will tell the whole world that it is the only way to better ensure world peace and the suppression of all illegal and terrorist acts. However, their ultimate secret goal and purpose is to know and precisely control all the people who will have to pass to the next and final stage of the final " sealing ", with which the Antichrist will now know all subjects of. 5. QUESTION How can we Christians react to all this? Is there an antidote that can neutralize the power of these satanic constructs? The days we live in are very wicked indeed. Tests to make the new mutant human DNA have begun . Artificial intelligence is advancing at full speed and humans are unaware or want to be unaware and indifferent to what is happening. Lucifer managed to convince people that he cares about their health, so that they would easily accept his experiments. Whether we will make ourselves the Temple of God or the temple of Satan is our choice . It is up to us whether we will remain united with God the Father, as His children, or whether we will run away from Him and join the camp of Lucifer. We are free to choose but also to shoulder the consequences of our decisions . Those of us who choose to remain faithful to Christ and His holy Church must be ready to take up the cross of confession , even martyrdom . Our era will highlight the greatest saints of the Church. Regarding all those high nanotechnology materials that are sneakily and unknowingly introduced into our bodies, like satanic poison , with what we eat , drink and breathe to contaminate us, I should emphasize that there is an antidote . As every poison has its antidote , so our holy Church has the appropriate antidotes for them . The problem, however, with the antidotes available to our Church is that they presuppose two basic spiritual elements on the part of people, so that their " power " can be activated . They presuppose " faith " and " trust " in God, something, however, that you no longer easily find among Christians. The main antidote proposed by our holy Church is Holy Communion , that is, Christ himself. The energy of these dangerous high nanotechnology materials is neutralized with the Holy Communion , which will not only act therapeutically but also deterrently , since it will not allow artificial intelligence to intervene in the chain of human DNA, to " engrave " and make the mutation of those initial elements which the divine intelligence with infinite " Wisdom " has defined! In the case of Holy Communion, the penetrating power of the Holy Spirit is decisive. The Holy Spirit himself intervenes to preserve the Divine Will ! Sanctification is also a powerful antidote , especially the " great Sanctification of Epiphanies ", because it does not allow Satan and the artificial intelligence controlled by him to carry out his projects and plans. The sign of the Holy Cross has always been the great fear of demons. Our Church has many stories, mainly from the lives of our saints, that the honest Cross abolished the power of the poison with which the holy martyrs were watered to die. Whenever they made the sign of the Cross, the poison lost its power and could not cause the death of the holy martyr. Of course, we must not forget that these holy Christians had deep faith and great love for our Christ, since for His sake they gave up everything, in order not to betray and deny Christ! The daily prayer to God and especially to the Holy Spirit , when it is done with deep repentance and humility for our mistakes but also divine love in our heart for God our Father, is also a very powerful medicine against every satanic attack. Heartfelt prayer greatly attracts divine Grace, and creates a divine protection around the body and soul of the praying person. This divine protective armor prevents any form of satanic communication that attempts to offend the human body and soul , with the powerful spiritual interference it causes. Another great and important action of the holy prayer is that it will enlighten the mind of the humble person and will reveal to him, with the grace of the Holy Spirit, the truth of his choices and of the events that will happen. This awesome power of prayer to reveal the truth to the one who prays, will prove to be a very important help to the Christians of the last days, where the Antichrist and his followers will dominate everywhere. The man who is faithful to God, enlightened by the Holy Spirit, will be able to feel and in many cases even see the truth about a person, whether it is God's or Satan's. This will help many devout Christians to discern which spiritual leaders of the Church are following the true Christ and which are the Antichrist ! chaff will be separated from the wheat and the unworthy church leaders will be revealed , as well as the holy church fathers and teachers, so that Christians will know who they should trust and follow and who they should not. The straw will constitute the ecclesiastical leadership of the " World Church ", which will belong to the Antichrist and will be managed by his friend and associate the False Prophet , as the Apocalypse of John states. The wheat will consist of holy ecclesiastical men who will staff the " Catacomb Church " of the end times. Praying Christians by God's revelation will recognize who will be the chaff and who the wheat, so that they will know who will be those holy fathers and teachers whom they should hereafter trust and follow. 6. QUESTION How close are all these things that you have told us in such detail? All this has begun and will culminate in the very near future. Satan is of course in a hurry to take over the reins of world power through his own son the Antichrist . That is why he moves insidiously, with great guile and covertly, at all levels of power, in order to immediately become the " world leader ". God, however, still for a while, does not allow it , because people are ignorant of the whole truth , so that they can choose freely and on their own, the one they will believe and follow. great mercy to man, who does not want any human soul to perish in the darkness of Hades and hell, will allow three great events to occur that will help the whole world first to ponder and then to decide freely the most important choice in human history. One fact has to do with everything that will happen from here on out with human health , which will continue to undergo multiple catastrophic operations due to some experimental pharmaceutical preparations that will promise life and health but will cause a multitude of side effects, even death . The second event will be related to the unrestrained desire of some satanic leaders , who in their attempt to lead the whole world, will cause a global conflict with incalculable global disasters . The third event will be the revolution of nature itself in the satanic Christian states but also in the whole world that reacts to the true God, as a last attempt of the horse nature to awaken the man hypnotized by Satan, so that he comes to his senses, repents and to stop his impending destruction. In short, I can say that: a chain of very large natural disasters will change the very structure of the Earth, while the specter of hunger, thirst, disease, and despair will overshadow the entire planet. Therefore, if a man becomes concerned and realizes his mistake, through all that will happen, immediately everything will change for the better and the destructive course of himself and nature will stop. If, however, he persists in his selfish course and lets Satan be his lord and god, and willingly accepts Satan's mark and seal, then greater and more terrible world-catastrophic events will occur, causing death and incalculable numbers of people. These terrible world events are mentioned in the Apocalypse of Saint John. 7. QUESTION Who is this Antichrist, who will disrupt the life of the whole world? He is the son of Satan, who will be born from a woman in intercourse with Lucifer himself during a satanic ceremony. He will live in secret at first and from there he will direct the world leaders devoted to him, whom he himself raised to power. At the right time, he will ascend to political power. The charm of his satanic thinking, his rhetorical skill, and his imposition on all the leaders and peoples of the earth will be so strong that it will charm the entire planet. As a first act of impressment, the Antichrist will stop all the wars, which he has so far secretly directed. He will be proclaimed " prince of peace " and all the heads of state will hand over to him the power of their peoples. From that moment on the Antichrist will dominate me with absolute power over everything and with the help of perfected artificial intelligence, it will control everyone and everything. With the help of demons and artificial intelligence, he will even perform various artificially believable miracles, which he himself will project to the whole world to convince them that he is a god. That he is the real Christ who came to earth to save all people. The world church, which will already be ruled by his personal friend and satanic man, the False Prophet, will accept him as a man of God, as a prophet, and as a savior of the world. Then it will be officially disputed that our Lord Jesus Christ is the true Messiah of the world and that title of Messiah will be given to the Antichrist. the greatest and most ruthless persecution of the true Christ and Christians will reach its climax. All the religions of the world will recognize his supernatural powers and will accept him as their savior and god, therefore they will accept to take of their own will his own satanic seal, with which they will secure eternal faith in him and obedience. However, the real Christians who, with the help of God, will remain faithful to the one and true Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, will not accept this sealing, even if they have to give their own lives. For their faith, God will intervene miraculously, to protect them and give them the necessities for their survival. The Christians at that time will get their strength with the help of the Holy Spirit from the study of the Holy Scriptures, Holy Communion, and the wishes of their holy spiritual fathers. For this reason, the Antichrist and his followers will fight these three forces. They will attempt to rewrite the Holy Scriptures as they see fit. They will persecute on trifling occasions the reverend those spiritual fathers who oppose them. They will fight the Holy Communion in every way, so that people do not partake, until the moment when they will definitively abolish it and all the other " Mysteries " of the Church. The awesome power of Holy Communion is well known to Lucifer and his demons. He knows that as long as it is held in the holy Churches and reverently attended by the people, he and his demonic plans will not be successfully promoted and he will not be able to come as a world leader and messiah. The sign of his coming will be the abolition of Holy Communion. For this reason, from now on we will all see and live the great and terrible war that Lucifer will start against the Holy Communion, through his own politicians, scientists, and also, unfortunately, church leaders. To begin with, the immaculate Christ in Holy Communion will be accused by politicians and scientists of being able to contaminate and transfer diseases to the people. The confirmation of these satanic accusations through the condescension of little-faithful priests will mark the official beginning of the great persecution of Christ and His holy Church. Changing the way Christians attend will be the second sacrilegious step against the Holy Communion and the transformation of the Holy Communion into a solid form will constitute the third satanic effort of the spirits of darkness. In the last and most powerful attack against the Holy Communion, before its final cessation which will take place with the appearance of the Antichrist, it will be disputed that the Holy Communion is the Body and Blood of Christ but will be considered a " substitute ". We have entered, my child, into a strange period that I could confidently describe as the beginning of the eschatological times. It is the period when even the elect will go astray, as the Bible says. I wish that the Holy Spirit will enlighten us all so that we can understand the cunning of Satan and that we all remain faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ, the true Messiah of the world

The Holy Fire: Where Faith Meets Scientific Curiosity

 This is the column that split when the Armenians did not allow the Orthodox 


🇬🇷 Ελληνικό Κείμενο



Η ραγισμένη κολόνα του Ναού της Αναστάσεως στα Ιεροσόλυμα δεν είναι απλώς μια πέτρα. Είναι μαρτυρία. Είναι σημείο. Είναι απάντηση.


Σύμφωνα με την ιερά Παράδοση, όταν οι Αρμένιοι δεν επέτρεψαν στον Ορθόδοξο Πατριάρχη να εισέλθει στον Πανάγιο Τάφο για την τελετή του Αγίου Φωτός, το θαύμα δεν περιορίστηκε από ανθρώπινες αποφάσεις. Το Άγιο Φως εξήλθε από την κολόνα, σχίζοντάς την μπροστά στα μάτια των παρισταμένων. Ο Πατριάρχης έλαβε το Φως από εκεί, και ο λαός δοξολόγησε τον Αναστάντα Χριστό.


Η σχισμένη κολόνα στέκει μέχρι σήμερα ως σιωπηλή ομολογία ότι το Άγιο Φως δεν είναι ανθρώπινο κατασκεύασμα, αλλά θεϊκή δωρεά. Δεν υπόκειται σε πολιτικές ισορροπίες ούτε σε θρησκευτικούς ανταγωνισμούς. Εκδηλώνεται εκεί όπου υπάρχει η ζωντανή πίστη της Εκκλησίας.


Η Ορθοδοξία δεν είναι ιδεολογία· είναι εμπειρία Αναστάσεως. Είναι η συνέχεια της Αποστολικής Εκκλησίας, η πίστη των Πατέρων, η Θεία Λειτουργία που ενώνει ουρανό και γη. Είναι το Φως που δεν σβήνει.


Η παράδοση μιλά και για έναν Οθωμανό φρουρό που, βλέποντας το θαύμα της κολόνας, συγκλονίστηκε. Ομολόγησε τον Χριστό και βαπτίστηκε Ορθόδοξος. Για την ομολογία του αυτή μαρτύρησε. Το αίμα του έγινε σφραγίδα πίστεως.


Η ιστορία αυτή δεν είναι κάλεσμα σε σύγκρουση, αλλά σε μετάνοια. Δεν είναι θρίαμβος εναντίον ανθρώπων, αλλά θρίαμβος του Φωτός επί του σκότους. Η Ορθοδοξία δεν επιβάλλεται· μαρτυρείται. Δεν εκδικείται· συγχωρεί. Δεν φοβάται· ανασταίνεται.


Η ραγισμένη κολόνα φωνάζει ακόμη: Το Φως του Χριστού δεν φυλακίζεται. Το Φως του Χριστού λάμπει εν τω σκότει, και το σκότος αυτό ου κατέλαβεν.





🇬🇧 English Version 



The cracked column of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is not merely a stone. It is a witness. It is a sign. It is an answer.


According to sacred tradition, when the Armenians did not allow the Orthodox Patriarch to enter the Holy Tomb for the ceremony of the Holy Fire, the miracle was not confined by human decisions. The Holy Fire burst forth from the column, splitting it before the eyes of those present. The Patriarch received the Light from that very place, and the faithful glorified the Risen Christ.


The split column still stands today as a silent testimony that the Holy Fire is not a human fabrication but a divine gift. It is not subject to political balances or religious rivalries. It manifests where living faith endures within the Church.


Orthodoxy is not an ideology; it is the experience of the Resurrection. It is the continuation of the Apostolic Church, the faith of the Fathers, the Divine Liturgy that unites heaven and earth. It is the Light that does not fade.


Tradition also speaks of an Ottoman guard who, witnessing the miracle of the column, was shaken to the depths of his soul. He confessed Christ and embraced Orthodoxy. For this confession, he suffered martyrdom. His blood became a seal of faith.


This story is not a call to conflict, but a call to repentance. It is not a triumph over people, but the triumph of Light over darkness. Orthodoxy is not imposed; it is witnessed. It does not seek revenge; it forgives. It does not fear; it rises.


The cracked column still proclaims: The Light of Christ cannot be imprisoned. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Patriarch to enter the Tomb, and This is the column that split when the Armenians did not allow the Orthodox Patriarch to enter the Tomb, and he received the Holy Fire from this column when it split. And since then, everyone must understand that the true faith is Orthodoxy and that all should come to Orthodoxy.
he received the Holy Fire from this column when it split. And since then, everyone must understand that the true faith is Orthodoxy and that all should come to Orthodoxy.





Every year, on Holy Saturday in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, thousands gather to witness one of Christianity’s most mysterious and revered events: the descent of the Holy Fire. For centuries, this phenomenon has inspired awe, devotion, and—more recently—scientific curiosity. Among those who have sought to explore it through both faith and empirical observation is Archbishop Gennady Zaridze.


A Researcher Bridging Faith and Science

Archbishop Gennady Zaridze is not only a clergyman but also a thinker deeply interested in the dialogue between theology and science. With a background that embraces both spiritual tradition and analytical inquiry, he represents a rare effort to approach religious phenomena with scientific tools—without diminishing their sacred meaning.

In 2016, he traveled to the Holy Land with a specific purpose: to observe and measure the physical properties of the Holy Fire during the annual ceremony. His goal was not to “debunk” the miracle, but to better understand its observable characteristics and, perhaps, illuminate how such an event might strengthen faith in a modern, scientifically minded world.


Measuring the Unusual: Temperature Observations

One of the most striking aspects of the Holy Fire is a widely reported phenomenon: in the first moments after its appearance, the flame does not burn the faithful. Pilgrims often pass the flame over their faces or hands without injury—an act that would be impossible with ordinary fire.

To investigate this, Archbishop Zaridze employed a pyrometer, a device used to measure temperature from a distance, along with silver plates that can help gauge heat intensity through thermal conduction and discoloration.

His findings were remarkable:

  • Immediately after the descent, the flame’s temperature was measured at approximately 40°C (104°F)—warm, but not enough to cause burns.
  • After about 15 minutes, the temperature rose dramatically to over 300°C (572°F), consistent with the behavior of ordinary fire.

This rapid transformation suggests that the Holy Fire exhibits an unusual thermal profile—initially mild and later intensifying into a typical high-temperature flame.


Methods and Observational Approach

Archbishop Zaridze’s methodology was simple but deliberate:

  • Pyrometric readings were taken at different intervals to track changes in heat.
  • Silver plates were exposed to the flame to observe how quickly they reacted to rising temperatures.
  • Observations were conducted in real-time, within the natural conditions of the ceremony, without interfering with the religious proceedings.

While these methods do not constitute a controlled laboratory experiment, they provide valuable field observations that raise intriguing questions about the nature of the phenomenon.


Supporting Observations: Electromagnetic Activity

The Holy Fire has also attracted attention from scientists outside the clergy. Notably, Andrei Volkov of the Kurchatov Institute conducted measurements during previous celebrations.

Volkov reported detecting unusual electromagnetic activity in the area surrounding the event at the moment the Holy Fire appeared. While the exact cause and significance of these readings remain unclear, they add another layer of scientific intrigue to the phenomenon.


Interpreting the Phenomenon

From a strictly scientific perspective, the Holy Fire raises more questions than it answers:

  • Why does the flame initially behave as if it has a significantly lower temperature?
  • What accounts for the sudden increase in heat after several minutes?
  • Could environmental, chemical, or physical factors play a role—or is something else at work?

For Archbishop Zaridze, however, the purpose of such an investigation is not to reduce the Holy Fire to a purely physical explanation. Instead, he يرى the phenomenon as a sign that invites deeper reflection, where science can observe but not fully explain it.


Faith, Mystery, and Meaning

For millions of believers, the Holy Fire is not merely an anomaly—it is a miracle, a sacred sign of divine presence and continuity within the Orthodox Christian tradition. Scientific observations, like those of Archbishop Zaridze and Andrei Volkov, do not diminish this belief. Rather, they can enrich it by showing that even in an age of technology and measurement, certain experiences retain an element of mystery.

In this way, the Holy Fire stands at a unique intersection:
a phenomenon observed with instruments, yet understood through faith;
measured in degrees, yet felt in devotion.


Conclusion

The investigation of the Holy Fire by Archbishop Gennady Zaridze offers a compelling example of how science and faith need not be in opposition. Through careful observation and respectful inquiry, he has highlighted unusual physical properties of the flame while affirming its spiritual significance.

Whether viewed as a miracle beyond explanation or a phenomenon awaiting deeper understanding, the Holy Fire continues to inspire both reverence and curiosity—reminding us that some of the most profound human experiences lie at the boundary between what we can measure and what we believe.

I am not coming down to earth, mother. Here is better

 At that awesome moment, with “Thine own of Thine own,”

The Holy Spirit comes and transforms the bread into the Body of Christ and the wine into the Blood of Christ. for the remission of our sins and for eternal life. That is, that we may be made worthy without guilt. This is what “for the remission of sins” means: that we may have a life in the heavenly Divine Liturgy. So every person who dies—while we remain here and weep over them— if that person is one whom God has mercy on, because of their kindness, their forgiveness, their charity, And whatever good they have done, then they go to the heavenly Divine Liturgy. --- Let me tell you something else—I’ve told you this before. A poor mother once went to pick up her child from school, a 10-year-old boy. His name was Andreas—his real name. She was waiting, and the boy saw his mother across the street and ran toward her. A car came and struck the child. He was thrown into the air and fell dead at her feet. A 10-year-old child. --- Anyway, she came to me and said, with deep sorrow: “Be careful what you tell me. Many sent me to you. If you do not fill my soul with what you say, I will go and kill myself.” Imagine what that poor man felt at that moment. I cried and prayed within myself: “My Christ, enlighten me—give me one word, just one, to fill the soul of this grieving mother.” --- Then, suddenly, something came to me. There was the portrait of my own mother, who had also lost a child. I said to her: “You lost Andreas at 10 years old. My mother lost her son at 24.” And I told her the known story—that he fell into the arms of Christ, and now the mother managed, through prayer, to sanctify her son who died without confession, little by little, for Christ to forgive him, to raise him into the Light, so that he too may partake in the heavenly Divine Liturgy. Together with my father, who fell asleep before my brother Nicholas, and later Stella, and my son-in-law Andreas— Many from my family are now in the heavenly liturgy. --- She stood up. That’s all I told her. Then she knelt before my mother’s portrait. kissed it and said: “Woman of God, grandmother, I beg you— Tell Christ to send my Andreas to tell me even one word, and let my Andreas be where your Petros is.” She called her daughter Maria, who was outside, 15 years old: “Maria, come here—we found what we were looking for. We found the Messiah.” (I am not the Messiah—through this, she found Christ.) --- She asked me, “Do you have anything else to tell me?” I said, "I told you everything. I arranged it with my mother. Now all that remains is to pray that what you asked will happen— that Andreas will show you where he is.” --- Four months later, she came again. And what did she tell me? “I saw Andreas, my dead 10-year-old child. I saw him, but his face was a bright light, and I could not see it clearly. I could see the rest of him.” She said to him: “My Andreas, come down—what are you doing up there?” He replied: “I can’t come down. It is beautiful here above.” She asked him: “What do you do all day?” He said: “Here it is always day. It is always light. Do you know? Christ comes—the great one comes—and serves the liturgy. We stand around Him, and His light shines upon us. And according to the heart we had on earth, And according to your prayers, we receive light.” --- “And we learn things—many things we didn’t learn at school.” She said, “Come down to me.” He replied: “I cannot.” She begged him: “My child, let me at least see your face.” He answered: “The light of Christ does not allow you to see my face. Your eyes are not yet pure. Cleanse your eyes, and next time you will see my face as well.” --- Do you understand what is happening? That is why we say: “Jesus rose from the tomb and granted us eternal life and great mercy.” --- Thus, “Thine own of Thine own”— The Holy Spirit comes and makes the change of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. And we, because we have stalls (not seats, like others), Do not sit merely to observe the mysteries. We do not say “for those who are watching." but “for those who are partaking.” From the moment of the Cherubic Hymn onward, Those

Those who are able should stand upright in their place.

Hidden Christians in Turkey

 


Abdul Hamid gave the order for the tomb of Mehmed the Conqueror, which was located next to the mosque, to be opened in order to check for any damage and make repairs.

The tomb was opened, and at a depth of three meters, an iron trapdoor was found. From there, a stone staircase led down into the underground chamber of a Byzantine church.

There, to their astonishment, the workers found a marble tomb containing the embalmed body of Mehmed—identical to the portrait painted by the Italian artist a few months before his death.

This fact—that Mehmed was buried within the ruins of a Byzantine church—has been considered by many as strong evidence that he wished to be buried as a Christian and Byzantine emperor, among the other Byzantine rulers.

It is known that Mehmed often claimed to be the successor of the Byzantine emperors.

Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who, for political reasons at the time, had abandoned a certain Islamic sect he had followed and had adopted Sunni Islam, was seized with panic and ordered the tomb to be immediately sealed.

These events took place before 1908, and since then, the tomb has never been opened again. For this reason, it is difficult today to verify the testimony.

However, on December 19, 1996, a Turkish weekly publication associated with the well-known newspaper Sabah was released with the striking headline:
“The Conqueror was a Christian.”

The subtitle read: “Historians have not been able to solve this mystery to this day.”

Many centuries after the death of the great Fatih—Mehmed the Conqueror, as he is historically known—it is also known that he had a Christian mother, most likely of Greek origin.

The fact that in modern Turkey—where Islamic identity is strongly re-emerging—such reports are published is seen by some as evidence of doubt about Mehmed’s true religious identity, even within the official Turkish establishment.

This becomes even more significant when we consider that Fatih Mehmed is one of the greatest taboos of Turkish history, nationalism, and identity.

A leader like him was expected to embody not only national pride but also religious identity.

And yet, inside his tomb, it is claimed, lies one of the greatest secrets of the Ottoman Empire.

There were testimonies stating that next to the tomb there was a cross and an icon of the Virgin Mary.

According to these claims, Mehmed the Conqueror may have embraced Christianity at the end of his life—something carefully concealed by official Turkish historiography.

From his early childhood, he had contact with Christianity through his Christian mother.

It is one of the great historical mysteries how a relatively small number of Seljuk Turks and Ottomans who arrived in Asia Minor between the 9th and 10th centuries managed, within a few centuries, to change the entire ethnic and religious character of a region inhabited by millions—many say up to 20 million—Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians.

There are many explanations. Some say it was forced Islamization through violence, while others say it occurred for practical and economic reasons.

However, because this process of religious conversion was often incomplete and superficial, a unique characteristic remained within Turkish Islam—one that some consider a heterodox element.

Today, this is being increasingly discussed by Turkish journalists and researchers under the term “the religious problem of modern Turkey.”

On November 10, 2002, a Turkish newspaper reported that the feast of Saint Nektarios was celebrated inside a Muslim mosque—formerly a Christian church—in Eastern Thrace.

Many Turkish Muslims stayed after their prayers to observe the Christian service with great reverence.

Similarly, there are reports of Turkish Muslims attending Christian ceremonies, lighting candles, kissing priests’ hands, and seeking blessings from the Virgin Mary.

In some cases, even Muslims from other countries, such as Iran and Iraq, visit Orthodox churches in Istanbul, seeking hope, healing, and help for their personal struggles.

Some Turkish women have even been reported diving into the water during the Epiphany ceremony to catch the cross—an act deeply rooted in Orthodox Christian tradition.

Other reports mention Muslims visiting churches regularly, praying, lighting candles, and asking for miracles.

Turkish newspapers have even described certain churches as “places of hope” for Muslims.

In recent years, there has also been an increase in conversions to Christianity in Turkey, often among people who later discover they have Christian ancestry.

Investigations revealed that many of these individuals had ancestors who were Islamized, especially after the Asia Minor catastrophe, and later rediscovered their Christian roots.

There are also remarkable accounts of healing sites, such as sacred springs associated with early Christianity, where both Turks and foreigners visit for healing.

In some places, visitors light candles, burn incense, and perform acts that are officially forbidden in Islam.

Despite this, such practices continue and are even broadcast on Turkish television.

One striking example is the pilgrimage to Saint George on the island of Büyükada, where tens of thousands of Muslim Turks visit the church, light candles, make vows, and seek blessings.

Some even walk barefoot up the hill to the church, tying threads along the path as part of a ritual for their wishes.

Priests are seen blessing Muslim visitors, sometimes even making the sign of the cross on their foreheads.

Finally, there was a mysterious event reported in 1998 on the island of Antigoni, where a strange, sorrowful sound—like a sigh—was heard every night around a church.

Residents were alarmed and unable to explain it.

Some interpreted it as a supernatural sign, even suggesting it was a message from the Virgin Mary—a lament for the state of the world and the abandonment of faith.

The church, once full of Orthodox believers, now stands nearly empty.

And this sorrowful “voice” was seen by some as a symbol of that loss.



The curse takes effect when injustice is involved



The curse takes effect when injustice is involved. For example, if someone wrongs a suffering person, does something bad to them, and that person curses them, then it takes effect.

When I do harm to someone, and that person curses me, their curse works. God allows it, just as He allows, for example, one person to kill another.

But when there is no injustice, then the curse returns to the one who gave it.

And how can someone be freed from a curse?
Through repentance and confession.

I know many cases. People who suffered from a curse, when they realized they had been cursed—because they had done wrong—repented, confessed, and were restored.

If the one who did wrong says, “My God, I did this and this, forgive me,” and confesses with pain and sincerity, then God will forgive him. God is God.

And who is punished, Elder? Only the one who receives the curse, or also the one who gives it?

The one who receives the curse suffers in this life. But the one who gives the curse suffers both in this life and in the next. Because, as a criminal, he will be punished by God if he does not repent and confess.

Because, alright, someone may have wronged you. But by giving a curse, it is as if you take a gun and kill them. And with what right do you do that?

Whatever someone has done to you, you do not have the right to kill them.

For someone to curse means that they have malice. A person gives a curse when they speak with passion and with anger.

A curse, when it comes from someone who is in the right, has great power—especially the curse of a widow.

I remember an old woman. She had a little horse and tied it at the edge of the forest to graze. Because it was a bit restless, she had tied it with a strong rope.

One day, three women went to the forest to gather wood. One was rich, one was a widow, and one was an orphan and very poor.

They saw the horse tied with the rope and grazing and said, “Why don’t we take the rope to tie our wood?” They cut it into three pieces, and each took one piece to tie their bundles. Naturally, the horse ran away.

When the old woman came and did not find the animal, she was upset. She searched everywhere and suffered greatly trying to find it.

Finally, when she found it, she said in anger, "With that same rope, they will carry the one who took it.”

One day, the rich woman’s brother was playing with a gun, thinking it was empty. It was one left by the Italians, and he shot his sister in the neck.

They had to carry her to the hospital and needed a rope to tie her to a wooden ladder.

At that moment, one of the stolen pieces of rope was found—but it was not enough.

The other two women brought their stolen pieces as well. They tied her to the ladder and carried her to the hospital.

Thus, the old woman’s curse was fulfilled: with the same rope they carried her.

And in the end, the poor woman died—may God rest her soul.

You see how the curse fell on the rich woman, who had no real need. The others had their poverty—they had some justification.

Many illnesses that doctors cannot explain may come from a curse. Doctors cannot diagnose a curse.

Once, they brought a paralyzed man to my hut. A full-grown man who could not sit.

His body was stiff like wood. One person carried him on his back, and another supported him from behind.

I placed two logs so he could lean a little, poor man.

Those who accompanied him told me, "Since he was 15 years old, Father, he has been in this condition, and 18 whole years have passed.”

I said, “How could this happen? Something must be wrong.”

I investigated and found that someone had cursed him.

What had happened was this: he used to go to school by bus and would sit stretched out across the seat.

At one stop, an elderly priest and an old man got on and stood next to him.

Someone told him, “Get up so the elders can sit,” but he stretched out even more and ignored them.

Then the old man who was standing said to him:
“May you remain stretched out and never be able to sit.”

And that curse took effect.

You see, the young man was disrespectful. He thought, “Why should I get up? I paid for the seat.”

Yes, but the other person also paid—and he is elderly and worthy of respect, while you are just a 15-year-old boy sitting.

“That is the reason,” I told him. “Repent so that you may be healed. Repentance is needed, my child.”

As soon as the poor man understood this and acknowledged it, he was restored.

How many of the things that happen today come from curses, from indignation?

And when entire families are destroyed, or many members of one family die, know that it may be due to injustice, or sorcery, or a curse.

A father had a child who wandered around. Once, in frustration, he told him the following:
“Come home once and for all.”

That same night, as the child was returning home, something struck him right outside the door…

orthodox holy light-ορθόδοξο άγιο φως

Let's rewind it now and take a look at the luminous sphere, which is truly unique—I would say this is a unique document, truly.

And how God, let’s say, deemed me worthy… You can see the luminous sphere as it appears.

It begins to move above people’s heads, among the crowd. It touches people’s heads and passes through the crowd.

At this moment, the camera loses focus because it was out of focus, but let’s say that it is not burning—
It does not burn.

Look, because people might wonder how it passes over people’s heads without burning anyone.

No one even noticed it. I was able to confirm this later, because there were people from Thessaloniki sitting exactly across from that spot.

I asked them, “Did you see it?”
They said, “Of course not; we saw nothing.”

So this is a multiple miracle, not a simple event. It is a multiple miracle.

That means… if we, as a crew, wanted to reproduce this today, we wouldn’t be able to.

With the technical means we have today, this cannot be recreated.

Obviously not even with effects.

Yes, exactly.

Because many people will look at that point—yes—and you can see the flame.

Due to the flame, the camera tries to focus; it does this thing, loses focus, and then regains it.

That, of course, was unfortunate in a way, because the image becomes blurry.

If the camera had been stabilized, it might have captured the image more clearly.

That’s why it’s not so clear.

Here, we actually see the miracle of the Holy Fire.

You can see the ball of the Holy Fire—a sphere—which those who have been there have experienced.

Some people may question it.

So tomorrow, at the courts of Evelpidon, we must all stand together for this great miracle of Orthodoxy.

This great miracle of Christianity.

 Prophecy about Crete and Greece by Monk


Gennadios


Monk Gennadios, like many ascetics of the Church, was said to be filled with divine grace and to bear Christ within him. Because of this grace, he spoke of prophecies, visions, and future events.


Due to humanity’s great apostasy from God, he taught that the end of the world is approaching—the Second Coming of the Lord. Before that, God will allow a global war to take place because the world does not repent. This war will be the last, and its destruction will be immense.


A small state will become the cause of the global conflict—perhaps Cyprus.


As in the days of Noah, when people drowned in water, now they will drown in blood. In Constantinople there will be great slaughter, and the sea will turn red from the blood of the fallen. As Saint Kosmas said, even a three-year-old calf will float in the blood—symbolizing the scale of massacre and devastation.


The sky will be filled with airplanes dropping fire and bombs. Terrified people will cry out: “My Panagia, my Panagia!”


Constantinople will be taken again by the Greeks, but only after great bloodshed. Before the war begins, a great Cross will appear in the sky.


The Turks will attack. They will cross the Evros River and cause destruction, reaching Hexamilia. Then resistance will begin. Other nations may help—possibly the Russians and the French.


The Greeks will push the Turks back, take the City and Asia Minor, and pursue them as far as the “Red Apple.” One third will be killed, one third will flee, and one third will be baptized—descendants of crypto-Christians who will finally be revealed.


The great powers will attempt to claim Constantinople, but in the end it will be given to the Greeks.


Greece will suffer greatly. There may even be internal conflict.



Prophecy about Crete



The Turks will come to Crete. They will land at Preveli, Maridaki, and Chondros near Kaloi Limenes. They will carry out destruction and massacres.


In the region of Merambello there will be great slaughter, and cries will echo in the mountains.


In the end, however, the Turks will be defeated and retreat in disorder. Even women will drive them away with simple means.


The army will not initially know where they will land. There will be fog, allowing them to disembark undisturbed.


Crete will not be destroyed by bombs, but by sins. Only a small part will remain as a reminder.


Foreign forces will try to remove Greeks from their faith and history. If they abandon it, destruction will come.


What happened in Cyprus in 1974 will also happen to us.


The Turks are ready—but the time has not yet come. God is waiting for 



Προφητεία για την Κρήτη και την Ελλάδα από τον Μοναχό Γεννάδιο


Ο μοναχός Γεννάδιος, όπως πολλοί ασκητές της Εκκλησίας, λέγεται ότι ήταν πλήρης θείας χάριτος και έφερε τον Χριστό μέσα του. Με αυτή τη χάρη μιλούσε για προφητείες, οράματα και μελλοντικά γεγονότα.


Λόγω της μεγάλης αποστασίας της ανθρωπότητας από τον Θεό, δίδασκε ότι πλησιάζει το τέλος του κόσμου — η Δευτέρα Παρουσία του Κυρίου. Πριν από αυτό, ο Θεός θα επιτρέψει έναν παγκόσμιο πόλεμο, επειδή ο κόσμος δεν μετανοεί. Αυτός ο πόλεμος θα είναι ο τελευταίος και η καταστροφή του θα είναι τεράστια.


Ένα μικρό κράτος θα γίνει η αιτία της παγκόσμιας σύρραξης — ίσως η Κύπρος.


Όπως στον καιρό του Νώε οι άνθρωποι πνίγηκαν στο νερό, έτσι τώρα θα πνιγούν στο αίμα. Στην Κωνσταντινούπολη θα γίνει μεγάλη σφαγή και η θάλασσα θα κοκκινίσει από το αίμα των νεκρών. Όπως είπε ο Άγιος Κοσμάς, ακόμη και ένα τριών ετών μοσχάρι θα επιπλέει στο αίμα — σύμβολο της μεγάλης καταστροφής.


Ο ουρανός θα γεμίσει αεροπλάνα που θα ρίχνουν φωτιά και βόμβες. Οι άνθρωποι, τρομαγμένοι, θα φωνάζουν: «Παναγία μου, Παναγία μου!»


Η Κωνσταντινούπολη θα ξαναγίνει ελληνική, αλλά με μεγάλο αίμα. Πριν αρχίσει ο πόλεμος, ένας μεγάλος Σταυρός θα εμφανιστεί στον ουρανό.


Οι Τούρκοι θα επιτεθούν. Θα περάσουν τον Έβρο και θα φτάσουν στα Εξαμίλια. Τότε θα αρχίσει η αντίσταση. Άλλα έθνη θα βοηθήσουν — ίσως οι Ρώσοι και οι Γάλλοι.


Οι Έλληνες θα τους απωθήσουν, θα πάρουν την Πόλη και τη Μικρά Ασία και θα τους καταδιώξουν μέχρι την «Κόκκινη Μηλιά». Το ένα τρίτο θα σκοτωθεί, το ένα τρίτο θα φύγει και το ένα τρίτο θα βαπτιστεί — απόγονοι κρυπτοχριστιανών που θα φανερωθούν.


Οι μεγάλες δυνάμεις θα διεκδικήσουν την Κωνσταντινούπολη, αλλά τελικά θα δοθεί στους Έλληνες.


Η Ελλάδα θα υποστεί μεγάλες καταστροφές. Ίσως υπάρξει και εσωτερική σύγκρουση.



Προφητεία για την Κρήτη



Οι Τούρκοι θα έρθουν στην Κρήτη. Θα αποβιβαστούν στο Πρέβελη, στο Μαριδάκι και στον Χόνδρο, κοντά στους Καλούς Λιμένες. Θα υπάρξουν σφαγές και καταστροφές.


Στην περιοχή του Μεραμπέλλου θα γίνει μεγάλη σφαγή και οι κραυγές θα ακούγονται στα βουνά.


Στο τέλος όμως θα ηττηθούν και θα φύγουν άτακτα. Ακόμη και γυναίκες θα τους κυνηγούν με απλά μέσα.


Ο στρατός δεν θα γνωρίζει αρχικά πού θα γίνει η απόβαση. Θα υπάρχει ομίχλη και θα αποβιβαστούν χωρίς αντίσταση.


Η Κρήτη δεν θα καταστραφεί από βόμβες αλλά από αμαρτίες. Μόνο ένα μικρό μέρος θα μείνει ως υπενθύμιση.


Ξένες δυνάμεις θα προσπαθήσουν να αποκόψουν τους Έλληνες από την πίστη και την ιστορία τους. Αν την εγκαταλείψουν, θα έρθει καταστροφή.


Ό,τι έγινε στην Κύπρο το 1974 θα συμβεί και σε εμάς.


Οι Τούρκοι είναι έτοιμοι, αλλά ο καιρός δεν έχει ακόμη έρθει. Ο Θεός περιμένει τη μετάνοια.
