The stages of the soul after death and guard posts. The whole truth, according to

our church. Dear brothers, in the previous video, we talked about whether the dead can see us, and we saw that the soul continues to live and possesses consciousness. Today, we will talk about something very serious and deeply spiritual. What happens to a person immediately after death? What stages does the soul go through, and what are the so-called "posts"? The Church teaches us that at the moment when the soul separates from the body, it does not remain alone. It is received by the angels of God. St. Macarius of Egypt says that angels accompany the soul with peace and the fear of God. A person does not leave the world alone. According to church tradition, during the first three days, the soul remains close to the earth. It sees the places where it lived. It remembers its life. That is why, often, Shortly before death, people talk as if they see things and faces. Then the soul is led to see places of light and joy, but also places of sorrow. to understand spiritual reality. And then begins the journey that the fathers call customs. So what are customs? They are not places as we imagine them in human terms. They are spiritual tests. At each custom, the category of sins that a person has committed in Their life is examined. This is mentioned by many saints, such as St. Ignatius, Briatzandino, and the vision of Blessed Theodora. The 23 customs are as follows. First, the customs of slander. Second, the customs of arrogance. Third, the customs of envy. Fourth, the customs of lying. Fifth, the customs of anger and rage. The customs of pride. 7. The tax for blasphemy. 8. The tax for idleness and foolishness. One tax for usury and deception. 10. A tax for laziness and sleep. 11. A tax for greed. 12. A tax for drunkenness. 13th, payment for forgetfulness. 14th, payment for witchcraft and divination. 15th, payment for laziness. 16th, payment for idolatry. 17th, payment for homosexuality. 18th, payment for philanthropy. 19th, payment for Michia. 20th, payment for murder. 21st, price of theft. 22nd, the price of fornication. and 23rd, the price of ruthlessness. At each price, demons accuse the soul of its sins, and angels present any repentance that souls have shown in life, confession, good deeds, and God's mercy. And in the end, man does not save himself. God saves us with His mercy. Bells do not exist to frighten us. They exist to show us how serious our life is. Every deed matters. Every word matters, but every repentance has enormous power. After In this course, the soul enters a temporary state. The righteous are in peace and light. The unrepentant are in sorrow, and all await the resurrection of the dead and the Last Judgment. And here it seems that there is something very comforting. The prayers of the living greatly help souls. That is why We hold memorial services. That is why we pray, and our church does not do so formally. It does so because it is truly obliged to do so. Therefore, the message is not one of fear. It is one of haste. Let us live with repentance, with prayer, and with love. Because God does not want anyone to perish. He wants everyone to be saved. And God is waiting for us with open arms. But let us look a little deeper into what this journey of the soul means. The holy fathers tell us that after death, a person can no longer hide from himself. The conscience is completely enlightened. Everything comes to light. St. John of Damascus asserts that then the soul clearly understands what the state of its life was. What is justified here, there appears as it really is. And all the little good deeds acquire great value. The Fathers especially emphasize the period of 40 days after death. During these days, the soul goes through all these stages and prepares for its temporary state until the final judgment. Therefore, There are special prayers in the church. On the third day, the tenth day, and the fortieth day. This is no coincidence. They have a deep spiritual meaning. On the third day, we remember Christ's resurrection and ask God to resurrect the soul spiritually. On the tenth day, we pray together with the nine orders of angels, and on the fortieth day, our Lord himself ascended into heaven, and We ask that the soul also rest in the place it deserves. I will tell you a story described by spiritual fathers. One priest prayed fervently for a man who died suddenly. One night, he saw him in a dream, sad and troubled. He said to him, "Father, Your prayers help me, but I need more." The priest intensified his prayers and commemorations, and a few days later, he saw him again, bright and peaceful. This shows how great the power of the church's prayers is. But the Fathers tell us something else: even a small prayer can bring great comfort to the soul. "Lord, have mercy," a candle, alms in the name of the departed soul. Nothing is lost in vain. And something else very important. Customs are not a mechanical process. It's not like exams. It is a revelation of the spiritual state.

Pay attention here

The Orthodox Christian Church firmly rejects the idea that people can deliberately speak with the spirits of their deceased relatives. Such practices — mediums, séances, spiritistic rituals — do not come from God and place a person in spiritual danger.

Holy Scripture clearly forbids attempts to consult the dead (Deuteronomy 18:10–12). The spiritual world is real, but it is not neutral. Not every spirit is from God. The Church teaches that demonic forces are capable of deception and imitation, even presenting themselves as departed loved ones to mislead and gradually enslave a person spiritually. However, the Orthodox tradition also recognizes something important: God is sovereign. In rare and extraordinary cases, if God Himself wills it for a person’s spiritual benefit, He may permit a departed soul to appear. Such events are not the result of human effort, rituals, or curiosity. They are acts of divine economy, allowed solely by God, for repentance, warning, or spiritual strengthening. The difference is crucial. One is human initiative driven by curiosity or grief — and this opens the door to deception. The other is God’s initiative, beyond human control, given for salvation. A Christian does not attempt to summon the departed. The proper path is prayer for them and trust in God’s mercy. If God wishes to reveal something, He will do so according to His will, not ours. True safety is found in Christ, in repentance, in the Sacraments, and in humble faith — not in seeking supernatural experience @AnninosCh

 

 Prophecies about the War and the Cyprus Issue: What to Expect

Prophecies about the War and the Cyprus Issue: What to Expect

According to prophecies attributed to Orthodox Saints, the coming years will be marked by major geopolitical upheavals in our region.

The prophecies speak of a war involving Turkey, which will lead to great destruction and territorial fragmentation. It is mentioned that powers such as Russia will become involved, and Turkey will be dramatically weakened. Through this conflict, peoples such as the Kurds and Armenians will claim and regain territories.

According to these prophecies, Constantinople will once again come under Greek control.

After these events, the Cyprus issue is expected to change radically. It is said that the Turkish army will no longer be present in Cyprus. Turkish Cypriots will return to their homes, and Greek Cypriots will return to theirs, to the properties they lost. The major remaining issue will concern the settlers and how they are managed.

However, the same prophecies warn that these events will not remain local. The Turkish war will not be the end — but the beginning of a larger global conflict that will shake humanity.

Many see in these accounts a period of great trials, but also of realignments that will lead to a new historical era.

And let me tell you something. Today, we read the holy gospel that has the

genealogy. So-and-so gave birth to so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so. And yet

No one has analyzed this. No one who is an element that you pay attention to will

be taken by the antichrist and will laugh at you.

Do not think that he will laugh at you with the identities of these. It is not that I have no relationship with the antichrist. The antichrist will first make us accept him 

to worship him, and then he will come and say, "Put the seal now."

You understand, but for you to worship him, he must

deceive you. How will he deceive us? What does the holy gospel say today? So-and-so

gave birth to so-and-so, so-and-so, and Joseph.

Joseph, Joseph comes from the lineage of David. The Theotokos

the husband of Mary. Yes. What does it matter to me what the man of the Theotokos does? The

Virgin Mary, who gave birth to Jesus Christ invisibly.

She says nowhere that she is descended from David. No one has answered this. The fathers took it for granted because

It was known. We rely on prophecies. Yes. The antichrist says, "This prophecy

is about me. It is not about Christ because the Revelation says so. He will

make himself God. He will trample on everything holy and unholy. He will

trample on it. Not like an evil person. No. With kindness and with beauty. Do not think that

He will reject the Holy Bible. He will use the Holy Bible. The heretical.

He will use the Holy Bible, but distorted.

And he will come and tell you. He says nowhere that Jesus Christ

descended from David. Is there any proof? There is none. This is how you wanted to interpret the prophecies, and this is how

You said it. He is not Jesus Christ from David. Tell me, please, 

What argument would you have to support yourself?

Because he will say more. Be careful; he will say more. And

False prophets will appear. What do you think the false prophets will be?

Priests, monks, instruments of the antichrist, and elders. You will

say, "But the elder said, This is contempt."

Saint Paisios said this is contempt.

You made him a saint," he will say. He is not a saint. You say these things; they are not

like that. The heretics do not say this either. Where will you

And your children rely on you to say no, no, it is not like that. Let me tell you this simple thing

about the Most Holy Theotokos, very simple that the Holy Bible answers, but we do not

read the Holy Bible, nor do we apply it to our lives. Theologians and

Priests and all of us say, say, say, say words. Nowhere do we refer to the

Holy Bible to say, look at what I told you. Support it here. I will die, I will

Leave. This will remain. It will remain.

So the Old Testament says in the kingdom, in the book of Numbers, 

after the law of Moses had been made and he had divided the promised land

and God said that each friend will have the land of his own and will not

Leave to go to another friend, to another friend. Every friendship will have its own land.

So there comes a case of a father named Zelophehad. I have

told you this before, but I am saying it now so that you can see how the antichrist will

deceive. Zelophehad, who had two daughters

whom he had to marry, and he had to marry a boy from another

tribe. Yes, but if he married a boy from another tribe, 

The inheritance of the bride would leave here and go there. So he had another daughter.

This other tribe would also marry, and she would leave. And what would happen would

the inheritance that God gave be reduced, and God makes a law through Moses and says

No. When a father only has daughters, 

He will marry from the same friendship so that the inheritance is not lost.

Do you understand who is telling you this? Tell me who is telling

you this. And Moses also came and treated it even more. No one tells you this. Only to shout, we know, and say other things. And

What proves that the Most Holy Theotokos was an only daughter? As an only daughter, she had to marry a man of the same race. Who was

Joseph, who descended from David? So then he did not descend, and the Most Holy

will burn it from there. Yes. Here is humiliation. Here is humiliation that the antichrist will come

and will say I too was born of a virgin. The fathers say he will interpret it as

a virgin, either from a prostitute woman who had no husband or from society which

It will be a straw; it will find a way to interpret it, just as heretics

are finding a way to interpret it and are deceiving people. How much has not been said about

all of this lately, that many people have been deceived behind

other people, and you know who is not deceived. Who will not be deceived?

Whoever is based on the Holy Bible, okay, I'm not saying that you should know

the Holy Bible, but that you should listen to it. We are not listening today. The Holy Bible, we are not

listening. What can I say? We are not listening. How many come to

listen to the speeches I give in the afternoon to be baptized in the Holy Bible

From the young people? We adults will die. From the young people. High school, 

middle school. Where do these children go? Sorry. Where do these children go?

They go to basketball, they go to volleyball, and they go to sports. Where do they go and

Leave them at such an hour; it should be full of young people here. Where are your children?

They are not coming. Of course, now they will come; you should have learned them from a young age.

From a young age, you should have taught them to come to church where your men

are sleeping in their beds, and I say, "Go, you and I." Where is all this

do you know how easily the antichrist will deceive us wonderfully and then and then

in eternal darkness we like it; we don't like it but that's why he says he will deceive us

mightily and the elect he will lift his tail he says and he will

cast down a third of the stars—who are those who think they are

great and mighty, he will knock them down and them

Our times are not easy, my dears; our times are not easy.

The times are dangerous for fraud. Therefore, do not listen to what

the apostle Paul says and the Saints say, be careful not to

believe every spirit, the evangelist John says, but

test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out

into the world, do not believe everyone; there are many false prophets in

sheep's clothing and from within are ravenous, the antichrist will not come to take hold, 

to destroy the Holy Sister, but to pervert her. And the apostle

Peter also speaks of our Lord's long-suffering. And since the Lord does not

answer, consider this a blessing. Be careful, some

say that what the apostle Paul wrote is perverted.

Who are the ignorant and the unfounded? Peter, for the apostle Paul, that's how

They distort it at that time. So beware because I have

"I told you," he says, "beware," and I tell you. Beware.

So then it is not the fault of the Holy Bible or prophecy but the fact that I am cut off from

the mysteries. The mysteries are cut off from hearing the word of God. 

cut off from applying the word of God. Since I do not learn them. I do not

know them. So then, my beloved, you want not to

Be deceived, and now from now on the deception begins. Do not

Think then that you are serious in what you hear. No, he told me so.

He did so. Prove it from the Holy Bible. Where does the Holy Bible say it? Leave the

elders and everyone else. They are all good. But they are not the trunk.

They are not the stone. They are the icing on the cake that exists. You can

Do this. Do it, and you will be saved, and apply what God says. After

The fear of God, faith, and love come.

You come these days ready to receive communion. You have confessed.

You have fasted, and we have also abolished fasting. This generation also proceeds

in prayer and fasting. What will we suffer, my children? What will we suffer?

We suffer nothing. The devil does it like this. Do you know how many times at night I go to

Sleep, and the devil gives me the feeling that you are hungry. You are hungry; go eat

because you will not be able to bear it tomorrow, and I get up in the morning, and I have

absolutely nothing. I do my day just fine. What do you think? The devil is sitting; he is not

Sitting, the devil is working; we are sitting carefree. I hope we

Get to Christmas with clean hearts so that we can also have clean thinking.
