God has a beautiful plan. All of God is beautiful.
A plan that will help and will save, with the religious and theological Orthodox meaning of the word “save,” will also save the well-intentioned Turks, just as it will save the well-intentioned Greeks. Not all of our own people are well-intentioned.
Just as He will save all the well-intentioned Germans, Americans, all races, the Chinese, and the Africans.
God now has a great plan, the development of which began in Syria, and He will carry out a tremendous operation upon humanity.
The operation is necessary. How can a person who is filled with tumors, has widespread cancer, and whose blood has been poisoned? First, he must be detoxified. Then he must also undergo surgery.
So, for the health of humanity to be restored, these bitter events must take place. From these bitter events, Christ will bring forth sweetness.
He will quickly enter eternal life. Saint Matrona of Russia used to say—I think she fell asleep in 1952—before the great Third World War, those who are very well-intentioned but somewhat weak in faith and in certain passions they have, God will take them before the war, some through accidents
and others through incurable illnesses. Do you hear? That is what we have now begun to live through with the coronavirus and other things, and the earthquakes that some say are coming and the sinkings and so on.
So all these things were to take some before the World War, whether through accidents or incurable diseases, and where will He take them? Into eternal life.
No, no, not into death. And others during the course of the war will depart. These, perhaps, will be the ill-intentioned.
The people who have no repentance, who did not receive Christ’s messages—Christ’s emails and Christ’s faxes that He keeps sending us continuously, telling us: wake up and repent.
And we remain longing for the corrupted everyday life that we had last year and the year before.
Running everywhere in haste so we can go on vacation.
The religious people even called vacations and trips pilgrimages.
We have not left a pilgrimage site that we did not visit. And I myself say these things. Yet in the end, may we not be worshippers
of the Holy Spirit who dwells in our hearts from the time of our chrismation. What a tragic thing that is—not to recognize the Holy Spirit
who is our housemate, dwelling with us. Therefore, since we do not recognize Him willingly, God will allow it to happen through certain chastisements, as Saint Isaac the Syrian calls them.
Strangely enough, the modern chastisement that is coming began from the homeland of Saint Isaac, from Syria.
Crete, Rhodes, Cyprus, Lesbos, and other islands will also be tested.
The great war will happen there at the Bosporus.
America too will go through great trials, to pay as well for the sins and crimes it committed against many, many peoples—the new Babylon described by Saint John the Theologian in Revelation.
America will become partial, Elder Saint Basil of Kavsokalyvia used to say. America will remain partial. What that means, I do not know.
I believe these things, my child, and because I believe them, I must as a bishop share my faith with people.
I do not wish to frighten or panic anyone, God forbid.
But if these things that are heard help even one person to be led to repentance, then my attempt has succeeded.
Let some Greek hierarchs write whatever they wish against prophetic speech. The Holy Spirit has not ceased breathing.
And one of the greatest gifts of the Holy Spirit is the prophetic gift. I do not have it. No. I am a student of prophecy, not a prophet.
But I do not hide from you; being the cunning Cypriot that I am, I want my profit in eternal life.
And what does my Gospel say? “He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward.”
It is toward that reward I look—that one of my fellow men will hear all this and repent. Now, whether he will be Greek or Turkish—perhaps it will be these Turks.
For I tell you, Saint Kosmas of Aetolia tells us—and Saint Kosmas was never wrong in any of his prophecies—“One third of the Turks will believe.”
Do you know how many one-third of today’s Turks are? It is 24 million.
That is two Greeces—no, three Greeces.
Saint Amphilochios of Patmos used to say that the root must be preserved. That is why the refugee movement of the Asia Minor Greeks, the Pontians, and the Constantinopolitans happened.
And this root remains afterward to make the grafting—that is, to make the inoculation into the one vine of Asia Minor, which is now called Turkey, but it remains Asia Minor.
So what can we say? Yes, God’s plan is great. It is not only for Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus.
Let us not be deceived only by the unredeemed homeland that we have.
And especially we Cypriots live this out. The metropolis of Morphou lives it above all.
But let us not be deceived only by our own sociopolitical problems. All humanity groans because of our sins.
because of abortions, blasphemies, sorceries,
the Satan worship that exists, the unnatural laws and the
unnatural practices done inside and outside marriage, very many, sadly, by people, and many other things.
Shameful things that cannot even be spoken. Therefore, as we read in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, especially the Old Testament, it emphasizes this:
Our actions, our sins, and our negative deeds affect our psychological and spiritual state.
Now it has accumulated, accumulated, accumulated—all this influence.
The influence of the sin I mentioned before, the sins I mentioned before, the energy, the darkness, and the satanic energy have gathered, and now every nation will pay—Turkey, us, all countries—every nation will pay the bill, my brother.
That is it. Now it is the season of nations that we have entered.
It seems that poor Turkey, America, and some European countries,
such as France, Italy, and England,
will pay greatly, and they will not pay for something that does not belong to them. Everyone has their own things.
And “to pay” is a harsh term, I know. But it is a term understandable in an age where everything is bought and sold.
The only thing that is neither bought nor sold but offered freely to whoever wants it is the Body and Blood of Christ. It is repentance.
It is the mysteries of Christ and of the Holy Spirit.
These are what we should seek, what we should desire. And God has something for all people. He has something for Cyprus, and he has something for our Greece as well.
上帝有一个美好的计划。上帝的一切都是美好的。
这是一个会帮助并拯救的计划——以东正教宗教与神学对“救恩”一词的理解——它也会拯救心地善良的土耳其人,正如它也会拯救心地善良的希腊人一样。并不是我们所有的人都是心地善良的。
同样,上帝也会拯救心地善良的德国人、美国人,以及所有民族的人——中国人和非洲人。
如今,上帝有一个伟大的计划,这个计划的发展从叙利亚开始,并将对全人类进行一次巨大的干预。
这种干预是必要的。一个全身长满肿瘤、患有严重癌症、血液已经被污染的人,怎么可能康复呢?首先必须进行净化,然后必须接受手术。
同样,为了恢复人类的健康,这些苦难的事件必须发生。从这些苦难之中,基督将带来甘甜。
他将迅速引人进入永恒的生命。俄罗斯的圣玛特罗娜曾说——我记得她于1952年安息——在第三次世界大战之前,那些心地善良但信仰薄弱、仍有一些欲望的人,上帝会在战争之前把他们带走:有些通过事故,有些通过不治之症。
你听到了吗?我们已经开始经历这些了——通过新冠疫情以及其他事件,还有一些人所说即将到来的地震和沉降等等。
因此,这一切将在世界大战之前带走一些人——或通过事故,或通过疾病。那么,上帝会把他们带到哪里?带到永恒的生命中。
不是死亡。还有一些人会在战争期间离去,也许这些人是心存恶意的人。
那些没有悔改、没有接受基督信息的人——那些他不断向我们发送的“电子邮件”和“传真”,呼唤我们:“醒来吧,悔改吧。”
而我们却仍然执着于去年和前年的那种被扭曲的日常生活。
到处奔波,只为去度假。
甚至有些信徒把度假称为“朝圣”。
我们几乎没有放过任何一个朝圣之地。我自己也这样说。
但最终,让我们不要只成为居住在我们心中的圣灵的“仰慕者”……
