Would you like us to go through a series of points that I know about so that we do not waste time discussing irrelevant matters? Please, let us make proper use of our time.
Well, these are the things that I personally believe will happen, based on the prophetic words of the saints who are now in the triumphant Church, as well as those of certain holy people who are still alive. The Church continues to give birth to saints. Holiness did not come to an end with Saint Paisios and Saint Porphyrios.
Even today, we continue to have holy people who are able to see. Let us pay attention to what I just said: people who are able to see.
The sequence of events expected in the coming years, in the period we are currently going through, to be precise, is as follows: a major earthquake will occur in Greek territory.
This earthquake will cause population displacement.
At approximately the same time, immediately following this event, there will be a literal earthquake.
Yes, when we say "earthquake," we mean a geological earthquake. And it will be of considerable magnitude. Many smaller earthquakes are already occurring in the Aegean Sea region and throughout Greece.
I still have some hope that the prayers of the Panagia, the Most Holy Theotokos, will prevent the major earthquake from happening. Perhaps the energy of that great earthquake will instead be released through many smaller ones.
For this is how God's providence works, particularly through the prayers of the saints and, above all, those of our Panagia.
All we need to do is activate the power of these prayers through our own faith and supplication.
Do you know what the Panagia told a man of God who is still alive? He said that he was praying that this earthquake would not happen in our beloved Greece.
But the Panagia told him that her son and lord had said to her:
“Mother, I do not want people to suffer either. You come to Me and plead with Me, but your hands are empty, Mother. They do not contain the prayers of the faithful. The people no longer pray, and even among those who do pray, their prayers are cold.”
This is a very tragic situation.
In other words, the purpose of this broadcast is to awaken our prayers and warm the frozen prayers of us Christians. I am not referring to those who question these signs and prophecies.
We usually pray to ask for something, whereas our prayers should be filled with spiritual fervor, transformation, and repentance. We should be paying attention to the signs when we see an increase in volcanic eruptions, wars, threats of war, famines, floods, mass migration, and social inequality throughout the world.
We are also witnessing an explosion of corruption and moral depravity. All these things are happening.
So, please continue. You mentioned a sign that we are expecting, and which we hope God will lessen: the earthquake.
And it will not happen only in Greece. We are speaking about our region, but similar events will occur in other areas as well. In America, are they not saying that something far greater than an earthquake will happen? It is something frightening even to mention when speaking about America.
Immediately afterwards, the Turks will launch an attack.
They will take advantage of the absence of proper leadership. There will technically be a government, but in reality, it will not be governing.
When you think about it, this is not so far-fetched. At least as far as Greece is concerned, having a government that is effectively unable to govern is not difficult to imagine.
The Turks will initially attack a small island and then a larger one.
Yes, this is connected with the issue of territorial waters. In the past, some people incorrectly interpreted references to the six miles as referring to a geographical location in Greece. There is even a village called Examilia near Corinth.
However, Saint Paisios, with his enlightened mind, explained that the six miles refer to the six-mile territorial sea limit. This could provide the Turks with an excuse to make the claims they are making today and demand the abolition of the Treaty of Lausanne.
Therefore, they will attack a small island and then a larger island.
They will launch an attack, and I get the impression that people are very afraid of this possibility.
Experts and analysts have already begun discussing the issue. They say that Erdogan is not satisfied with the prospect of a Kurdish state being established. In fact, he is becoming increasingly alarmed.
Yes, he is panicking. He is losing control of the situation, and developments are unfolding around him. That is why this has attracted my attention.
I ask myself, what is happening? Are the signs of the times being fulfilled? The whole world is discussing these matters again.
That is why it is worthwhile to listen to you. You are a researcher, and you can help distinguish between what is misleading and what has actually been said so that we can at least understand the original claims.
I would not claim that I have all the answers, but we are trying to establish what the saints of our faith actually said. The purpose is to prepare our people so that they do not panic but instead prepare themselves through fervent prayer and repentance.
Yes, we will get to that. We were discussing the events involving a small island and a larger island.
People should not be overly frightened, because the incident will last only three days.
Yes, I remember that. Everyone says the same thing, both those who are alive and those who are now in Heaven.
Three days. The Turks will do relatively little during this period because, according to this account, they are actually cowardly.
Nevertheless, their audacity will be astonishing, and during those three days, our people will be afraid.
I also asked about Cyprus.
I was about to ask you about that, Mr. Panagiotis. We are sleeping here with the Ledra Palace nearby. There is a man of God of great holiness.
Yes, I believe that after some years, he will be depicted in an icon as a saint. We venerate him.
I asked him, in the simple way he speaks, what would happen to Cyprus.
I am Cypriot myself, and I am also anxious about my homeland. Unfortunately, I have suffered because of the Turks and because of the coups and invasions.
It is understandable that you feel this way.
He told me, “My child, Cyprus will also go through a passage of suffering.”
Saint Philoumenos, a contemporary hieromartyr who did not leave us many prophecies, left us his martyrdom, which was itself prophetic in its significance.
He was martyred in 1979 by fanatical Zionist Jews at Jacob's Well in Palestine because he refused to abandon the Christian shrine that they were claiming as their own.
Why do I say that his martyrdom was prophetic? Because today we also have martyrs throughout the Middle East and beyond.
Christians are being killed in many places, particularly by fanatical Muslims and Islamists, who kill Christians because they refuse to leave the lands where Christianity was born.
Europe hypocritically watches these events and comments on them, while we continue our daily routines and our consumerist lifestyles until our own time comes.
In other words, our time will come too.
Some people, however, are already experiencing these things in Syria, my beloved Cypriot and Greek brothers and sisters. They have been experiencing them for years, enduring wars, earthquakes, famines, floods, and massacres.
Therefore, we must not behave as though these things concern only other people, as if we were innocent children who have nothing to fear. Nor should we panic when we feel that these events are approaching us.
God is just, and He demonstrates His justice to all peoples. We should be grateful that we have prophets and saints who prepare us for what may come.
You asked me again whether Cyprus will be occupied for three days.
No, no, absolutely not.
As I mentioned, Saint Philoumenos said that the Turks would carry out an incident intended to intimidate Cyprus.
There has already been talk of intimidation from the sea.
Yes, this has already been mentioned in connection with a date when it might happen.
No, no. We are not setting dates.
No. The people of our faith, the saints and holy people, did not give dates.
Certain dates were mentioned by politicians.
Exactly, by politicians.
If you examine the books we have published about Saint Philoumenos, you will see that we have been recording these accounts since 2002 or 2003.
What you mentioned as having been confirmed recently, just a month ago, also caused a small disagreement between the ministries of Greece and Cyprus.
Indeed.
You can therefore see how something Saint Philoumenos reportedly said in the past is now, more than a decade later, appearing to be reflected in political and geopolitical developments.
That is why we take the words of the saints very seriously. We listen carefully to the Orthodox understanding of current events.
Saint Paisios, who is regarded as a saint especially relevant to our times, spoke of a slap that Cyprus would receive.
He said that Cyprus would suffer a slap.
I believe this may refer to the incident intended to intimidate Cyprus from the sea.
Yes, I think so, although I cannot say for certain.
And this will happen around the same time as the events in Greece?
Yes, yes. The two incidents involving the islands will occur at the same time, whenever they happen.
So, what happens afterwards?
Very soon after this threat, when the Greek people will be frightened and humbled, they will turn towards deep repentance.
Listen to the outcome of this fear. What will it be? Something positive.
The repentance that arises from fear, intimidation, and the Turkish threat will lead the Greeks towards the events that follow.
I will describe these briefly and in summary.
Greece and Cyprus, according to these accounts, will be among the safest countries for our children and our people, while other countries in Western Europe, America, Russia, and the neighboring Middle Eastern region will experience a world war.
Yes, Greece and Cyprus will not experience such a war.
They will therefore be safe countries to which other people can come to live and seek protection.
You know that some men of God have spoken about what is happening now, with Turks leaving Turkey because they cannot tolerate Erdogan's regime. They are going to the Greek islands and other parts of Greece, buying or renting houses, seeking asylum, and feeling that Greece offers them safety despite the problems our country faces.
According to these accounts, the saints had already spoken about this.
They said that these people would come to love Greece and the Orthodox faith so deeply that they would freely choose Orthodoxy for themselves.
Then, when Turkey eventually calms down after suffering great disasters because of the arrogance of its leaders and its people, these individuals will become missionaries in Turkey.
We are talking about extraordinary events, yet the processes leading towards them are supposedly already beginning through developments that are taking place today.
After these events, Russia, for its own reasons and not because of any love for us, will wage a terrible war against Turkey that will last only a few days.
