The Americans are snakes, they don't leave the world alone, but they will pay badly, time is running out! We'll have a lot of trouble The dishonest Americans want and seek to make us eat. God kiss us!" These words of Elder Basil Causocalyvitis were a response to Styliani, one of his spiritual children, when she brought him some news at the end of 2014 when his health was quite shaken. Those who heard him and saw him felt a certain fear overwhelming them, both from his words and from the look on his face.
-Will we experience abnormal situations in
Greece? Do we need to make sure we have supplies? Many of us are worried mainly
about our children, and we are already hearing a lot of things. What should we
do?
-Listen, my son Marco. The age we are living
in is characterized by man's apostasy from the triune God. Jesus Christ has
ceased to be the priority of our lives. We care about ephemeral things and do
not understand that our home is heaven. Therefore, it is natural that on the
one hand, this anxiety manifests itself, which in essence betrays a lack of
faith, a lack of trust in Christ and the Blessed Mother. And on the other hand,
it is natural that the good God allows a few little jolts to help us recover
from the general lethargy. Such jerks are described in detail in the Bible at
times when old Israel was departing from God. Attacks by neighboring peoples,
captivity, earthquakes, famines, famines, plagues, and natural disasters were all
means of returning old Israel to the path of repentance. What say we, as the
new Israel, as members of the Church of Christ, will be an exception to the
rule?
- So we are preparing for even more difficult
situations? Are you telling us that suffering is coming?
-Look at me, Calico. The truth is that our
people, especially in the last few years, have opened wide doors and
windows to Antidicus and his thugs and they are on the prowl. He has turned his
back on God. And not only did he turn his back on him, but he began to
blaspheme him and drive him out of his life. He preferred to live in spiritual
darkness and spiritual poverty. The spiritual drought that our people are
experiencing will bring as natural consequences a great destructive earthquake,
epidemics, and civil wars. You will see the apartment buildings in Athens collide like
rams and in three of them, one will remain standing. You will see the fruits of
your fields eaten by clouds of locusts and wild birds. You will see our people
driven by what the Americans have carried us, that is, by foreigners, to be
divided. There will be a civil war with the foreigners brought here. We'll have
confusion. Innocent blood will be spilled, and people who are not to blame will pay
for it. And then there'll be misery, poverty, hunger, disease.
You will work to get a piece of bread all day
long. I'll just about make enough for a living.
At this point the old man, as if he could see
what was going to happen in this blessed place, began to cry. There was a
strange silence in the living room. Some people began to cry with him. No one
spoke. Everyone was hanging on his every word. The old man, Basil the Bald,
wiped his tears with his handkerchief.
-"Forgive me, forgive me, my children. Do
you remember, my children, what I told you five years ago when the financial
crisis was beginning? And then you asked me if we should have supplies in case
of an emergency.
-Yes, old man, I had asked you, said Stavros.
-Then, my good Cross, I urged you to store
spiritual food and not edible goods, that is, goods that are destroyed by
microbes, water, earthquakes, etc. I have stressed that you must have stores of
spiritual goods so that you can endure. Learn to fast because hard times will
come, learn to survive on the goods of the earth, and learn to cultivate the land
even if you have a measure of it.
- I remember, old man when you told us then,
commenting on an act of charity by the children, how you now have and give.
Tomorrow you will have nothing to give. And whoever has enough to live must not
forget to give and help his brothers and sisters. Has this time come which you
have described today, Stavros added.
-I can see that soon those dishonorable
Americans and Germans will get us involved. I won't live, but you will. You'll
see how it will all happen suddenly. You'll sleep free and wake up enslaved.
When you see the events begin, don't leave the house, not even for bread. Close
the windows and shutters. Leave nothing open. And wait. It will take a little
while, the days will be on the fingers of one hand! They will suffer more in
Athens, Crete, and Patras. In Thessaloniki and the other big cities things will be
milder. The Virgin will intervene.
And at this point, seeing the anxiety on our
faces, the elder Basil said to us:
-It is wise to prepare some supplies so that
you will not be caught unprepared by the calamities. The first and foremost is
water because first, they will hit the water tanks. It's a good idea to have
water on the shore. And because God knows exactly when things will be renewed.
The food that we store should have a shelf life and meet our needs as much as
possible. Next, after water is grain and flour. Wheat to have for sowing in the
right season. Then oil, coarse and fine salt. Coarse salt for salting meat,
fish, pickles, etc. Sugar, honey, olives, rice, pulses. That is beans,
chickpeas, lentils, lentils, fava beans, spaghetti, milk, especially powdered
and condensed milk, coffee, tea, and canned goods. Cheese in containers, cheese
in heads, dried fruit, and nuts. Some medicines are necessary to avoid
infections, painkillers, antibiotics, and analgesics mainly in capsules. For
children's infections of concern, antitussives or syrups for throat infections.
Pills for diarrhea, etc. It's also a good idea to stock up on first-aid
supplies, alcohol, iodine, gauze, bandages, sulphamide powder, bee propolis, and the best natural antibiotics. It is advisable to keep a few seeds for breeding,
such as tomatoes, peppers, beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc.
-Elder, at the beginning of the economic
crisis we made some commissions. We got scared then and ran and bought pasta,
milk, and pulses. There were also rumors of great famine, according to the
prophecies of holy elders, such as Saint Cosmas and the old (now Saint)
Paisios. Years passed and nothing happened and much of the food was thrown
away.
- Listen Apostle, no prophecy specifies a
particular time, because time is God's. However, the signs of the times that
foretell what is to come are now very evident. And the most important sign of
all is the spiritual drought that prevails which reveals our apostasy from the
law of God. But blessed ones, you should eat from what you have stored, so that
the situation may be renewed. If men had filled our spiritual storehouses we
would not need any of what I have told you. But our weak faith causes us to
fear. For the truly faithful Christian is not even darkened when he goes through
great tribulations, such as this one. We have forgotten the psalm of the
prophet David which says: "Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in
afflictions, a helper in our afflictions, a great help to those who afflict us.
Therefore let us not fear in the shaking of the earth, nor in the moving of
mountains in the hearts of the seas... nations have been shaken, kingdoms have
fallen; he has given his voice, the earth has been shaken. Lord of hosts, Lord
of hosts, the God of Jacob, our God. He hath broken the bow of the wicked wars
to the ends of the earth, and hath smitten with weapons, and hath burned
temples with fire. Know ye, and know that I am God; I am exalted among the
Gentiles, I am exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts with me, the Lord of hosts,
the God of Jacob, my God."
-"Elder, you tell us to have flour, but
how to keep it?
-We have to be careful how we preserve and
where we put the stored food. Our grandparents taught us, but we forgot. A
shady place, with no humidity and no high temperatures. We can put the flour in
large containers where we put the slice, that is, a tin with a round lid, which
we fill to the top. We press it well, with force and it takes a good amount, up
to 20 kilos. Then spread about one (1) inch of coarse salt over the flour, add
a piece of basil, and close it airtight. You can seal the lid with clean wax.
The oil is kept in a dark place in a clay pot or tin, at a cool temperature, or,
if possible, in a cellar. We can also keep feta cheese and all cheeses in the
oil for a long time. Pulses, rice, and cereals, well dried in the sun, dry them
well or put them in the oven for 15 minutes at 50°C. In the bag, you can put
soap chips or lime about a spoonful per 5 kilos of pulses.
Sugar (not the liquid part of preservation),
honey, glucose, molasses, spoon sweets, vinegar, wine, sun-dried bread, and galettes, sealed in airtight containers are preserved indefinitely. In short,
we must remember the ways of our ancestors because many modern means of living
will generally become extinct. Pickles in salt water, salted fish and meat in
airtight containers, olives, tomatoes, and so on. The main thing is to keep it
in a container, dry it well, and keep it in airtight containers. Always keep
holy water in your homes and everyone's faith, prayer and repentance,
repentance, repentance, and wooden crosses on doors and windows.
-Are we close to the events clearly described
by our saints?
-We are already on the facts. So be careful
not to be caught unprepared. Let no Christian home be without the New Testament,
nor the Psalms of David. In your homes, have oil lamps for lighting, petroleum
gas in gas cans, and gasoline for emergency needs in plastic containers that are
airtight and stored in a very safe cool place. Also, keep oil in containers for
lighting.
And addressing a certain spiritual friend of
his who was also a hunter, he said:
-Never go hunting again.
-Shall I surrender the license and the rifle,
old man?
- No, have it, and if you can get another one
for the hard years. Keep it because you'll need it. You'll have enough
cartridges. Sure, they'll pick them up, they'll take them from you, but if you
can hide them because they'll need them and they'll find you unprepared.
Orthodoxy is being mercilessly attacked, and
unfortunately, the sad thing is that it is being attacked by the Orthodox
themselves.
