LEARN THE TRUTH-ABOUT THE HOLY LIGHT

 Who lit them, since many times before the Patriarch came out, these are the candles of the people. They lit by themselves on the day when we were there, before the Patriarch came out to give the Light. I was standing right next to them. As soon as the Light came from the Patriarch and we received it from there, the people were shouting: “The Holy Light is coming!” Look up at the dome of the Holy Sepulchre, at the Holy Tomb of the Lord.

The people’s candles lit by themselves, and a grandmother who was outside the door of the church, in the courtyard, had her candles lit by others. Her name was Eleftheria, from Athienou. She was crying because they would not let her enter, and she sat down on the ground crying because she had not come to the Holy Tomb and would not receive the Holy Light. When she closed the door, her candles lit by themselves at the time when the celebration of the Holy Light had finished. The rejoicing began, and we started the Divine Liturgy of Holy Saturday before our eyes. I was chanting, and I was at the Beautiful Gate. Suddenly, a flame from the lamp of the Beautiful Gate, which was by itself… I tell you, the Patriarch could have a lighter and could light the place, but how did all the other things light? How did they all catch fire? We saw it with our own eyes. How could it be an illusion? How did I see it? I saw it like blue lightning, moving like this. I said, “But lightning comes from above downward. How is it moving like this?” The monk standing next to me saw nothing. Another person nearby saw a sphere, a ball of fire. Another saw something like a cloud. If it were artificial, we would all see the same thing. If it were something artificial, you and I and everyone else would see the same thing. Why did I see it and you did not? Why did I see lightning and you saw a sphere, another saw a cloud, and another saw something else? I am not saying I can confirm what the Patriarch brings out from inside. I cannot, because I was not standing beside the Patriarch to see. But I have two things to say. First of all, if it were a deception—because if it is not as we say, then it is a deception—how could it have continued for so long? And secondly, when the Patriarch enters, the Armenian Archbishop also enters with him. The Armenian wants very much to remove the Orthodox Patriarch so that he himself can enter. He is the only one who stands outside and can see the Patriarch. The Armenian bishop can see what the Orthodox Patriarch does inside the Holy Tomb. If the Orthodox Patriarch were doing something fake, the Armenian would expose him and humiliate him. He would say: “What are these things you are doing? What lies are these?” But he also comes and receives the Light from the Orthodox Patriarch, kisses the hand of the Orthodox Patriarch, and the Latins, the Armenians, the Monophysites, and everyone receives the Light from the Orthodox Patriarch. Why can nobody else bring out the Light except the Orthodox Patriarch or an Orthodox bishop? There is also that historical story: at one time, they bought the right from the Turks, removed the Orthodox from the Holy Tomb, and an Armenian entered to bring out the Holy Light. While the Orthodox were praying outside, the Light came out of the column. The column can still be seen today, burned and cracked. You may not believe it. That is your right. But we can see it until today. And we have historical testimonies about the Holy Light from centuries ago. This is not something that happened today. This tradition of the Holy Light has existed for many centuries. Because this tradition exists, and we have heard it ourselves, even younger people who have not gone to the Holy Tomb know about it. But there are clear statements from some theologians that this is, in some way, a deception. I advise them to go and see it themselves. Whoever has a theological school paper is not necessarily a theologian. Now someone else wanted to say something. The woman here is Mrs. Giota. In the Holy Land, Father, there is a small church of Saint Constantine, which is above the Holy Sepulchre. I went once at Easter, and on the night when the Holy Light was supposed to come out, they put some of us up there so we could see the Holy Light. Others from our group entered the small church of Saint Constantine because there was no space, and all the lamps and candles were extinguished. All the lamps and candles were completely off. When the Holy Light came out, we had people from our group who saw it entering through the little window on the left side of the church. A blue light entered, and all the lamps lit at the same time. This happens every year. People who were with me saw it. There are countless testimonies about this. Something else that has troubled many people is that candles can supposedly be dipped in a liquid, and after some time, they can light, and this was even shown on television. Look, something else people said is that officially, the Patriarchate of Jerusalem has not stated that the Holy Light is a miracle. I do not know what the official Patriarchate says. I know what history says, what the testimonies of pilgrims have said for centuries, and what we ourselves have experienced and seen with our own eyes. Now that woman Eleftheria from Athienou—she dipped her candle in something. Why did it not light five minutes earlier? The candles are bought from the beginning, from the first day people arrive. The woman carries them with her. I say: Do we need a miracle in order to believe in Christ? No. Even if the Holy Light did not exist, we would still believe. So let people say whatever they want. I also want to say that miracles are not the foundation of faith. The Apostle Paul says we do not need the Holy Light to believe in Christ. But one thing we saw with our own eyes and read in our history is that this happens continuously and happens before thousands of people every year. So how can you dismiss it so easily? I told you: perhaps the Patriarch does not light it himself—the light may come from God. I do not know what happens there. But I have these two questions: What happens with the Armenian who sees the Patriarch? And what happens with the people whose lamps light by themselves? I was also told that Bishop Timothy’s mother used to go to the Holy Tomb at Easter, but one year she was not allowed to go because she had difficulty walking. They told the old woman to stay upstairs in his cell, which was in the courtyard of the Patriarchate. She sat on the balcony crying because she was not allowed to go down and see the Holy Light. And her candles lit by themselves while she was on the balcony of the house. How could the candles have been prepared with fire and then lit? They lit at the time of the Holy Light. Some say there is a liquid which, after a certain time, reacts with oxygen and other elements and catches fire. Yes, but you would have to dip them a little while before, and after so much time, they would ignite. But people buy the candles from the Arabs, from the Jews, from whoever sells them, and carry them with them. It does not make logical sense. Anyway, may God enlighten us all about what we see, what we hear, and what we say.

Morfou Neofytos-what will happen when…

 

Very close to this threat, Hellenism will become fearful and withdrawn and will come to great repentance.

Listen to what the result of that fear will be. It will be positive. This repentance, arising from fear, intimidation, and threats from the Turks, will lead the Greeks to the events that follow, which I will mention briefly and in summary.

Greece and Cyprus will be among the only countries offering great safety for our children and our people when other countries in Western Europe, America, Russia, the Middle East, and neighboring regions are experiencing a world war.

Greece and Cyprus, however, will not be affected in the same way and will therefore be safe places where others can come to live and seek protection.

Some people of faith say that what is happening now with Turks leaving Turkey because they cannot endure the Erdoğan regime, moving to the Greek islands and other parts of Greece, buying or renting homes, seeking asylum, and feeling that Greece is a place of safety despite its problems, was foretold by saints.

They say these people will come to love Greece and Orthodox Christianity so deeply that they will freely choose it. Then, when Turkey recovers from the great disasters caused by its arrogance, its leaders, and its people, they will become missionaries in Turkey.

These are described as extraordinary events, yet they are said to already be unfolding through developments that have begun.

After these events, Russia, for its own reasons and not out of affection for us, will wage a terrible war against Turkey lasting only a few days.

Understandably, Russia would want to secure its southern flank, particularly in the Caucasus region and the countries surrounding it.

Georgia will play a role in this and is said to pay a heavy price. Russia will attack Turkey and, in the process, bring destruction not only upon Turkey but also upon Georgia, because NATO is establishing a monitoring base there to observe Russian missiles.

This will become the pretext, while other Eastern powers and the Chinese will allow Russia to strike Turkey.

The speaker wonders whether this might even be something agreed upon behind the scenes. Turkey, he says, will be struck mercilessly, not because of its actions in the Aegean or its threats, but because of broader geopolitical interests.

One frequently discussed strategic interest is the Montreux Convention, which governs the passage of Russian and other ships through the Bosporus Strait.

Turkey knows very well that if a military conflict occurs in the Aegean or elsewhere, it has the right to close the straits.

This would mean Russia could not supply its base in Tartus or other conflict zones with weapons and military equipment.

The situation is therefore described as extremely volatile.

As a result of this major conflict, Turkey would be forced to withdraw its troops. This would include a complete withdrawal of the Turkish military from Cyprus.

At that point, great wisdom would be required in managing an occupied northern Cyprus left without military forces. The speaker stresses that this would not be simple.

It would require restraint not only from Turkish Cypriots and settlers but especially from ourselves.

Above all, it would require control over our own emotions and patience to see our lands free.

A time is said to come when Cypriots will walk down the streets and, out of every five people, three will be foreigners, and only two will be Cypriots.

People will supposedly search for donkeys and be unable to find them.

The speaker jokingly adds that this would not be for picturesque farms or tourist attractions. He comments that everything in Cyprus has become focused on tourism, and some people tell him not to speak about such matters because it could harm tourism.

Out of fear, he says, people want to present Cyprus as a safe country.

All of this, he explains, means that Cyprus is part of humanity, and humanity as a whole will suffer.

The world war that is said to follow the events involving Turkey will emerge when people see a massive crisis developing there.

If Western powers intervene, a major war could break out around Constantinople (Istanbul) and its surrounding areas, leading to a very complex and severe conflict.

Saint Porphyrios

 

The Elder Porphyrios was lying on his little bed and said to me:

“Tell me, here where I am sitting, can you sit too?”

“Of course, Elder,” I replied. “Why wouldn’t I be able to?”

“Well,” he said to me in his gentle and charming way, “are you crazy? You will fall on top of me and I will suffocate!”

“Well yes, Elder, you must stand up so that I can sit,” I added, correcting myself.

“Ah! Bravo, bravo. That is how it happens with our soul in relation to Christ and the Antichrist. When Christ is enthroned in our soul, can the Antichrist have any place there?”

“No, Elder.”

“That is why, my child, I tell you this. We do not have Christ in our soul. If we did, the devil would not even come near us.

Unfortunately, we are not careful, and the accursed one enters inside. Christ, who is very gentle, stands at the door and knocks. If we open to Him, He enters.

But the devil — if he finds even a tiny opening, he enters shamelessly, and once he gets in, he does not leave easily! That is why we must be very careful in our lives, so that we do not give the devil a place.

Many times we are careless and either we mention him, or we send our children, our wife, our husband, or other people towards the devil through our words and actions…”

Ευαγγέλιο του Νικοδήμου The Gospel of Nicodemus (Acts of Pilate

 

Το Απόκρυφο Τι είναι;

Το Απόκρυφο Ευαγγέλιο του Νικοδήμου είναι ένα αρχαίο χριστιανικό κείμενο που συνδέθηκε παραδοσιακά με τον Νικόδημο. Δεν ανήκει στα τέσσερα κανονικά Ευαγγέλια της Καινής Διαθήκης, αλλά επηρέασε βαθιά τη χριστιανική παράδοση, ιδιαίτερα την εικόνα της Αναστάσεως.

Το κείμενο περιγράφει τη δίκη, τη σταύρωση, τον θάνατο του Ιησού Χριστού, την κάθοδό Του στον Άδη και την Ανάσταση.

What is it?

The Gospel of Nicodemus is an ancient Christian text traditionally associated with Nicodemus. It is not part of the four canonical Gospels of the New Testament, but it deeply influenced Christian tradition, especially the understanding of the Resurrection.

The text describes the trial, crucifixion, death of Jesus Christ, His descent into Hades, and His Resurrection.

Η Κάθοδος του Χριστού στον Άδη

The Descent of Christ into Hades

Σύμφωνα με την αφήγηση του κειμένου, μετά τον θάνατό Του στον Σταυρό, ο Χριστός κατεβαίνει στον Άδη. Εκεί βρίσκονται οι ψυχές των δικαίων της παλαιάς εποχής, που περιμένουν τη λύτρωση.

Ο Άδης ταράζεται, γιατί καταλαβαίνει ότι αυτός που έρχεται δεν είναι ένας απλός νεκρός, αλλά ο Χριστός, ο νικητής του θανάτου.

According to the text’s narrative, after His death on the Cross, Christ descends into Hades. There He finds the souls of the righteous of the ancient world, waiting for redemption.

Hades is shaken because he realizes that the One who has arrived is not an ordinary dead man, but Christ, the conqueror of death.

Ο διάλογος του Χριστού με τον Άδη

The Dialogue Between Christ and Hades

Ο Άδης λέει:

«Ποιος είσαι Εσύ που έρχεσαι σε μένα;
Γιατί ενώ οι άνθρωποι πεθαίνουν, Εσύ έρχεσαι με εξουσία;»

Ο Χριστός απαντά:

«Εγώ είμαι ο Ιησούς Χριστός, ο Υιός του Θεού.
Ήρθα να ελευθερώσω τους δεμένους, να σηκώσω αυτούς που περιμένουν και να νικήσω τον θάνατο.»

Τότε ο Άδης αναγνωρίζει ότι δεν μπορεί να κρατήσει τον Χριστό. Οι πύλες του ανοίγουν και οι δίκαιοι ελευθερώνονται.

Hades says:

“Who are You who comes to me?
Why do You come with authority while all others come as prisoners?”

Christ answers:

“I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
I have come to free those who are bound, to raise those who wait, and to overcome death.”

Then Hades realizes that he cannot hold Christ. The gates are opened and the righteous are set free.

Morfou Neophytos-A person was possessed....

A person was possessed, and they heard him say the following terrible things about the demon.

He says, “You know, this is how we demons speak. You commit so many sins, and Emmanuel forgives you. Who is Emmanuel? Emmanuel. He doesn’t call Him Emmanuel; he calls Him Manolis. He always tries to belittle Him. And Manolis, he says, always forgives you.”

“And when you commit a very great sin, who do you put in the middle? You put that one there. He doesn’t even say her name, Mary. He says, "Maria. "You put her there, and whatever they ask of her, she grants their request.

A priest who was performing exorcisms at that time asked the demon why Christ did

What she asks for.

Listen to what the demon answered through the mouth of the possessed person.

He said, "You are a priest, and you don’t know why? Why, good priest? Because she gave Him what He did not have.”

“Because she lent Him a body, and He is always indebted to her.”

“Listen, if you lend me a little money in my difficult time, if I am a proper person, I will owe you gratitude for my whole life. I will say, ‘Thank you very much, my friend, for lending to me when I was in my difficult time.’”

“So imagine God — what greatness He has toward the one who lent Him.”

“Because she lent Him the body.”

And the demon kept saying:

“Even your body, when Manolis created it, He created it in the shape of the wood where the Jews lifted Him up. He does not say ‘the Cross.’ He cannot say ‘Cross.’”

“Open your arms for a moment. Open your arms and see what shape your body takes immediately.”

“Even your body, he says, He made it in the shape of the wood where the Jews lifted Him up.”

“And you still do not believe Him. Or if you believe Him, you believe Him only a little.”

And the other thing he said — when I heard it, I was shocked — he said this:

“I committed one disobedience in Heaven. I was an angel, and I committed one disobedience in Heaven, and I fell forever into Hell together with all my angels.”

“You sin every day, and as soon as you say ‘I have sinned,’ the other one intervenes, the Virgin Mary, and immediately He forgives you and wants to place you with Him eternally.”

He did not even say the word “Paradise.”

“To be with Him, to enjoy His light. That light I also experience, but I do not rejoice in it—it burns me.”

“While you enjoy it, some of you from now, the saints, and all of you will go with Him forever.”

“Listen to what Paradise is: the enjoyment of the uncreated light, the divine light.”

“And what is Hell? The same light, because God is everywhere present, and even in Hell His light descends.”

“But the condemned and the demons, instead of experiencing this light with joy and knowledge, are filled with knowledge, because this light is full of information according to the desires of each person —”

“What fills us, the unborn? We go to Hell.”

“The burning of the light becomes fire, it becomes flames, and it judges the conscience and burns the conscience.”

“Because we carry our conscience with us. Whatever conscience we had in this life, we carry it with us.”

“And may God make us worthy of this light—to be a light of joy, a light full of information and knowledge, so that we can complete what we began in this temporary life.”

And this terrible spirit ended and said,

“I committed one sin, and since then I have been in Hell.”

“You commit sins every day, and Manolis forgives you through the intercessions of His Mother.”

The priest asked:

“Why did you enter this person?”

He answered:

“His parents committed sins, and later he himself was careless, and I entered.”

“Since he does not allow me. Do you know how many times I asked Him?”

“This is what I wanted to tell you. I have never said this before.”

“Do you know how many times I asked to enter and I asked for a body?”

“Listen.”

“And He does not allow me to unite with a body, with a woman, as His Spirit united with her.”

“He does not allow me, so that evil does not become immortal. That is why He does not allow it.”

“How much Christ loves us—so that evil does not become immortal.”

“And not only that—He does not allow me out of kindness.”

“Since I cannot become a demon-human, as He became God-human, the demon wants to become a demon-human.”

“Because I cannot, He sometimes allows me, when I see someone careless, to enter inside him.”

“Listen—to enter inside the image of God, meaning the human being, and to trouble him and possess him.”

“Forgive me for speaking at length, my dear Anna, but we must say these things because I see that our people need guidance, not only…”

THIS IS THE GLOW OF ORTHODOXY

 Yes, of course. Yes, before the Second Coming, before the Second Coming…

No, they will rise again; they will come alive—those who have not yet died—among the prophets: Enoch and the Prophet Elijah. And since we are mentioning these two, they are written about in the Book of Revelation of Saint John.

So, how will the Christians of that time recognize who the Antichrist is? The true Antichrist?

They will understand because Christ our Lord, our God, will allow them at that time to live again, to be raised, so to speak, in quotation marks.

Because they have not died. That is why I say “in quotation marks” about these two: Enoch and the Prophet Elijah.

They will tell the Christians of that time: “Do not follow him, do not listen to him; he is the Antichrist.”

Think about how much love Christ has for Christians, for believers—even the two prophets of the Old Testament.

He will send them alive to go around all the countries, and it says that there will be such technology that when he kills them—because they too must die—death comes to everyone. Even the perfect God and perfect man had death.

The kings and rulers of the world at that time will celebrate greatly; they will exchange gifts with one another because they will think, “We are rid of them.”

But the Christians will know, it says, and everyone will see. Listen to what Revelation writes: everyone will see their death. They will put them in the square of Jerusalem, it says.

And the bodies of the two — the remains of the two, to correct myself — will be there so that the Christians will be disappointed and saddened.

And everyone will see it.

People one hundred years ago wondered, "How will everyone see it? How will everyone have this ability to see it?”

But now we know very well how we can see events happening anywhere in the world.

Yes, of course, and this is what we believe. It means the Slavic peoples, the Russians and others.

It does not mean me. I am not of Slavic origin. The taking of Constantinople — here it is written incorrectly; it means the liberation of Constantinople.

As the lady said earlier, this will happen too. Saint Paisios emphasized this many times. It is his prophecy as well.

Saint of Limassol. The revival of Orthodoxy.

The revival of Orthodoxy is a subject that in our time has divided those who deal with prophetic writings into two groups: some with good intentions, and some with bad intentions.

The revival of Orthodoxy will happen. What do we mean when we use the term “revival of Orthodoxy”?

When the wars end—the Third World War and other local wars—those of us who survive…

I have an idea that I will survive. I am joking about this.

Because we will have to go through hardships, those of us who survive.

Know this: we will have to go through them with great patience. Everyone’s faith will be tested.

“The one who thinks he stands should be careful not to fall.”

Those who think they are standing should be careful not to fall.

Those of us who survive, because the population of the earth will be greatly reduced by nuclear weapons, various disasters, earthquakes, floods, and everything else, because these are times of nations that we have entered.

Each nation will pay for its sins throughout history.

Then, after Orthodox leaders take over, at least in Constantinople and Russia, there will be a period that will not be very long.

Some say a few decades, during which Orthodoxy will be proclaimed throughout the whole world.

Throughout the whole world.

So that no one will complain and say, "Christ, my Christ, I did not know that You are God, that You were crucified, that You were born, crucified, resurrected, and ascended.”

It will be preached to everyone, and some will believe, and some will not believe.

This is the revival of Orthodoxy.

Not as some interpret it—that the Greeks will dominate.

No, not like that. There should be no nationalism inside prophecies.

Neither will the Russians be exempt; the Russians will also have their own humiliation, just as we have ours now. God takes care of everyone.

And do you know what God’s care is? It is not our glory; it is our humility.

It is the way by which He allows

each of us personally and every nation to become humble.

What we have been living through as Cyprus for fifty years now is not a humiliation for us—to wake up every morning and see Mount Pentadaktylos with the Turkish flag opposite us.

Only 3 billions will be left in Greece

 It is true. But since people only look at pornography, what can you do? According to your deeds, so shall you sleep. You have made your bed, and that is how you will sleep.

Three million of us will remain. Three million of us will remain. And this was not said by some priest or anyone else. God Himself said it. What did He say at Sinai after Sinai? If you listen to my commandments, you will enjoy the good things of the earth. From the harvest of wheat until the harvest of grapes, and from the harvest of grapes until the harvest of wheat.

To show abundance, the doors of your houses will be open. You will have no enemies. Wild animals will not harm you, and so on. If the decline begins with you, it will begin with us too. Here, the path begins with the first fall. These things come down.

It does not matter. So, in a way, they are connected vessels. You choose it. God is like a mirror. You smile at Him. He smiles back at you. You become angry with Him, and He becomes angry with you. God does not change His attitude toward us. We change our attitude toward God. God always wants you to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. I return.

The second fall is even further down. The third fall appears to be completely opposite. So what does it say? “I will make us few.” I will reduce the numbers. Do you see what it says? “I will prune you numerically.”

So it was not said by any priest or anyone else. God Himself said it, and this is also coming here to Greece. Three million, as Father Ambrosios said, and another, Elder Sophronios.

He died at the age of one hundred and two, and he was crying at the end of his life. “Take me, my Panagia, my little mother.” That is how he called the Virgin Mary. “Take me, my little mother. I do not want to see what is coming.” He died three years ago.

But unfortunately, we would not want the outcome to be this way. But do not be afraid. After the polluted blood is gone, those who remain will remain, and Orthodoxy will be revived.

So, with the acquisition of Constantinople, as Saint Paisios also said, in thirty to thirty-five years Orthodoxy will shine throughout the whole world.

They will pull you and say, “Tell us about Christ. Tell us about Christ.” And then the great decline will begin until we reach the era of the Antichrist, which comes to an end. And this life here is important. People need to repent. If the world repents, the situation will change.

But for people to repent, they must take responsibility and say, "I am at fault. No one else is to blame. Forgive me, my God. Forgive me. I am at fault.”
