Elder Galaktia: “A Storm Is Coming — But Also Glory. Everything for Greece!”
According to recorded accounts attributed to Elder Galaktia of Crete
1. “THE FLESH WILL BRING THE DIFFICULT TIMES”
December 16, 2015
Recorded by her caregivers.
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“Difficult times are coming… The flesh will bring these things. This is what God says.
People will be forced to remain inside their homes. There will be turmoil, bloodshed, cries of anguish—and, for a short time, the Turks.
The ‘good’ people are also at fault, because they watch others and hear all kinds of filthy things and laugh. Everyone has become accustomed to these things. And even those who do not do them watch them without caring at all.
That is why the little dove has departed—not a dove, but the boundless Light,”
(Here she was referring to the Holy Spirit.)
2. “LET THERE BE HEARTHS OF PRAYER”
March 30, 2016
The Elder was speaking to a priest she knew who had come to visit her.
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“At night I see, with different eyes, the events that are coming… I toss and turn. I cannot sleep. I pray.
I see the turmoil, the upheaval of the world.
You will need to keep moving from place to place. You must strengthen and encourage the people. Even simply raising your hand in blessing will bring peace to the people.
The devil will turn them against you and against others, but Christ will protect you! Our Panagia!
Remain in your homes and pray. Let there be hearths of prayer. This will protect the world.
Blood will be shed. It will not be something insignificant. Yet it will be limited. And it will last only a few days.
We must imitate the courage and heroism of our ancestors—in the battle for Christ, with the Cross upon our chest.
I see these things as clearly as I see you now. I do not know the date.
With discernment, we must guide the people and strengthen them so that they may stand firm. In this way, the people will become united, and each person will help the other.
The Turks will come, but they will also be afraid. They will flee in disorder, driven back even by women.
Let the Russians be ready through prayer.
Many things will depend upon our prayer and repentance.
The Turks will come because they are a foolish people. Yet the Lord permits it because of the strange and sinful things that people are doing.”
3. “TERROR AND INSECURITY WILL PREVAIL IN GREECE”
April 12, 2016
Recorded by her caregivers.
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“Before long, the Greeks will be like lost sheep.
They will not know where to hide or where to seek shelter.
Terror and insecurity will prevail…”
4. “CONFUSION AND DESPAIR”
April 16, 2016
Recorded by her caregivers.
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“I do not sleep at night. I am deeply troubled. I am afraid because of what I see…
The confusion and despair of the people, the uncertainty and the panic—they will have nowhere to hide…”
5. “THE WORLD WILL BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN”
April 19, 2016
Recorded by her caregivers.
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“Many things are coming. Very many things.
The world will be turned upside down.
There will be turmoil, insecurity, fear, poverty, attacks, and many other things.
I tell the young woman who lives here to make sure the house is securely locked.
Soon people will be afraid to go out.
Afterward, God will bring about a great change.
All the nations will kneel before Him.”
6. “FAMINE IS COMING”
May 25, 2016
Speaking to Mr. C. L.
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“I did not have the strength to speak because of the pain in my heart. I was not well. I suffer because of what I see…”
C. L.:
“What do you see?”
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“Famine, my child.
A great famine is coming, along with other calamities.
I see people coming to me, asking for something, and I will have nothing to give them.
They will pour into the streets, hungry.
They will steal. They will kill for a piece of bread.
I cannot bear the cries of the little children.
The mouths that blaspheme and commit shameful acts will foam at the mouth from hunger.
We must seek repentance, my child, and proclaim it…
Repentance…”
7. “A STORM IS COMING — BUT ALSO GLORY”
August 1, 2016
Conversation between Father Antonios and Elder Galaktia, in the presence of her caregivers.
FATHER ANTONIOS:
“Has the Great Anthony come?”
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“Oh, yes… We are friends…
And the tall Saint Catherine…
And the tall Saint Irene Chrysovalantou…
She was an old woman, but you could not tell.”
FATHER ANTONIOS:
“What do they tell you?”
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“Many things…
Yesterday, Saints Parthenios and Eumenios of Koudoumas came.
They told me:
‘Tell the people about Holy Communion. Let them receive strength. Let them have the strength to endure what is coming.
But not casually or without preparation.’
They showed me an epitrachelion—the priest’s stole.
‘A great confession,’ they said. ‘And whatever the stole says.’
Then they showed me a prayer rope.
‘Tell them to pray like this. With these things, the people will endure.
Let them not condemn those whom they see receiving Holy Communion frequently.’
They said that too.”
FATHER ANTONIOS:
“Did you see difficulties?”
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“Great ones!
Upheavals, wars, famine…
I do not know how to describe them. I cannot find the words.
My mind no longer helps me. I fall every day.
But everything will be for the good of Greece.
For the sake of the faith.
Great glory.
A storm is coming, but also glory.
Everything for Greece.
Make sure you emphasize this.”
8. “THE GREAT WAR”
November 19, 2018
Recorded by her caregivers.
ELDER GALAKTIA:
“These ones”—she pointed toward the icons of the saints—“told me that the world has rotted.
It has completely rotted.
Only the great war can save it.
Not even animals do the filthy things that human beings do.
And even the clergy are concerned only with money.
Holy Mother, grant us repentance.”
