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.
