Forewarning them to be vigilant and cautious, because the Antichrist is coming soon.

"This took place in the year 1939."

Father spoke all night long, but I could not determine with whom he was speaking.

I did not dare to enter, so that I could find out whom it was.

In the morning, Father said, "Sister, we had guests and you are a witness to this."

I asked him, "Who?"

And the abbot, with joy, answered, "The Prophet of God Elias and Enoch the Righteous."

The Abbot Lawrence, who gained the grace of the Holy Spirit in abundance, many times spoke with his spiritual children about the end times...

Forewarning them to be vigilant and cautious, because the Antichrist is coming soon.

The Elder would say, "Look, now we vote; you can vote. It's not dreadful because the entire world is not yet voting for one person."

"And when they will be voting for just one person, that person will be him. (the Antichrist) And you will no longer be able to vote."

The Saint would say that there would be a great World War, after which almost nobody would survive, maybe only a few who are living in caves.

They will fight, and only two or three countries will remain and they will decide, "Let us elect a king over the entire world." And they will elect him.

During the end times, the true Christians will be exiled, and those who are old or helpless will do everything in their power to run away with them.

About the Antichrist who is to come, the Abbot who was enlightened by the Holy Spirit would say...

"There will come a time when they will collect signatures for a single king upon the earth, and the census will be carried out with great strictness."

They will enter the home and they will find the husband together with his wife and children. And the wife will implore the husband, "Let us sign; we have children and you won't be able to purchase anything for them."

The husband however will reply, "You do as you please. As for myself, I am ready to die, and for the Antichrist I will not sign!"

And so, the troubling picture of the future is seen.

"The time will come," the pious Lawrence would say, "when the churches which are not functioning, meaning those which are closed, will be restored; they will be not only adorned on the outside, but also on the inside.

The domes as well as the bell towers will be gilded with gold.

And when the works will cease, the time for the enthronement of the Antichrist has come.

Pray that the Lord will extend these periods of time for the strengthening of our faith, because terrible times await us.

Do you see with how much cunningness everything is being prepared?

All the churches will be in a state of splendor, as they never were before, but inside of them you will no longer be able to enter.

The coronation of the Antichrist, as king, will take place inside the majestic temple of Jerusalem together with the participation of the clergy and the Patriarch.

In Jerusalem, free entry and exit will be allowed for everyone, but be careful; do not travel, because all will be done to deceive people.

The Antichrist will be born from a Jewish harlot. From a young age he will be very gifted and intelligent.

Especially from the time when he will be an adolescent of twelve years old, he will be walking with his mother in the park and he will meet Satan, who will come out of the darkness and enter inside of him.

The boy will shudder from fear, but Satan will say to him, "Do not fear. I will help you." And inside this child the Antichrist will take on a human form.

At his coronation, when the Creed will be read he will not allow it to be read correctly. And instead of the words, "And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God," he will renounce it and only recognize himself.

Then the Patriarch will exclaim, "He is the Antichrist!", and for this the Patriarch will be killed.

At the coronation, the Antichrist will wear gloves, and when he will take them off to make the sign of the Cross; the Patriarch will notice that he does not have finger nails but claws.

From the heavens the prophets Elias and Enoch will come down, and tell all that the Antichrist has come. "This is the Antichrist! Do not believe him!"

And he will kill the prophets, however they will resurrect, and they will ascend into Heaven.

The nun Evlambia, whose house the Saint lived in during the time when the monastery was closed, recalls,

"This took place in the year 1939."

Father spoke all night long, but I could not determine with whom he was speaking.

I did not dare to enter, so that I could find out whom it was.

In the morning, Father said, "Sister, we had guests and you are a witness to this."

I asked him, "Who?"

And the abbot, with joy, answered, "The Prophet of God Elias and Enoch the Righteous."

"They spoke to me about the end times, about Russia, about the Orthodox king, and about the Antichrist. And they also said that the Holy Apostle John the Theologian would also come and speak with me."

In the year 1949, during the night, the Holy Abbot Lawrence was made worthy of the visit of the Evangelist John the Theologian.

This happened on the 26th of September according to the Old Calendar. They spoke nearly seven hours.

The Holy Evangelist added to what was said by the Prophet Elias and Enoch the Righteous; he spoke about the appearance of the Lord's Cross, the resurrection of the dead, and about Christ's Dreadful Judgement Day.

The Antichrist will know all the satanic crafts, and he will work signs to deceive others. He will be seen and heard at the same time by everyone.

The God pleasing Saint of God, according to the testimony of Archibishop Simeon, Archibishop Theodosius, Bishop Iakovos, and Archimandrite Theophan, would say,

"Blessed, and three times Blessed, is the man who will not desire and will not see the filthy face of the Antichrist. As for him who will see and hear his God-blaspheming words, and his promises to all of earthly goods, he will be deceived.

And he will go with deception to greet him, and he will perish together with him, and he will burn in the eternal fire.

They asked the Abbot, "How will this be?" The abbot replied with tears,

"In the holy place, the abomination of desolation will take place, and they will present the fithy decievers of humanity. And they will deceive the people who denied God, and false miracles will be worked."

And after them the Antichrist will arrive, and the entire world will see him simultaneously.

The fathers asked him, "Where in the holy place? In the Church?"

The holy one answered, "Not in the Church, but in every home. Where the icons are now present, instruments of deception (TVs) will be found for the conditioning of people."

Many will say, "We have to listen and watch the news." Look, in the news the Antichrist will appear!

He will mark his people with seals. He will hate Christians. The final persecution of the soul of Christianity will begin; who will refuse the seal of the Antichrist.

At first, the persecutions will begin in the lands of Jerusalem, and then throughout the entire world the last drops of blood will be shed in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ.

"From you my children, many will live up to these horrible times."

"The marks will be so that you can immediately see if someone took it or not."

"The Christian will no longer be able to buy or sell anything."

"But do not lose your hope! God will not abandon His children! You do not need to be afraid."

"There will be churches, however the Christian Orthodox faithful will no longer be able to go inside of them, because there the Bloodless Sacrifice of Jesus Christ will no longer be brought forth, instead it will be a satanic gathering."

"And on account of these wrongdoings, the earth will cease to bear fruit. Due to lack of rain, the earth will have cracks so large that a person could fall inside of them."

"They will kill or exile Christians. However, the Lord will help and feed his followers."

"The same will happen with the Jews; they will gather them together into one place. Some of the Jews, who truly lived according to the Law of Moses, will not receive the mark of the Antichrist. They will wait and follow his actions."

"They know that their ancestors did not recognize Christ; the true Messiah. And behold, God will grant that their eyes may be opened, and they will not receive the satanic seal."

"They will confess Christ, and they will rule together with Christ."
