THE UNCREATED HOLY LIGHT: A MYSTERY OF THE ORTHODOX FAITH The Divine Light Revealed During the Sacrament of Holy Baptism Only in the Orthodox Church do we encounter the fullness of the ancient sacramental tradition, in which the mystery of God’s grace is revealed through the Holy Mysteries. Throughout the centuries, Orthodox Christians have testified to the profound spiritual mystery of the Holy Mysteries, especially Holy Baptism, through which a person is born anew in Christ and receives the gift of the Holy Spirit. THE UNCREATED LIGHT OF GOD In Orthodox theology, the Uncreated Light is not ordinary physical light. It refers to the divine glory and uncreated energies of God, revealed by His grace. This is the light that shone from Christ at His Transfiguration on Mount Tabor, when His divine glory was manifested before the Apostles Peter, James, and John. The Orthodox Church teaches that through purification, prayer, repentance, and participation in the sacramental life of the Church, human beings may become partakers of divine grace. This is known as theosis — becoming united with God by grace, without becoming God by nature. WHAT HAPPENS DURING HOLY BAPTISM? Holy Baptism is not merely a symbolic ceremony or a public declaration of faith. According to the Orthodox Church, it is a true sacrament through which a person is united with Christ, dies to sin, and rises to new life in Him. As the Lord Jesus Christ declared: “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” — John 3:5 Through Baptism, the newly baptized person receives the gift of new life in Christ and becomes a member of His Church. The Orthodox tradition also connects Baptism with illumination, which is why the newly baptized has historically been called photizomenos — the one being enlightened. The Church celebrates this mystery with prayers, the blessing of water, the anointing with holy oil, the triple immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and the sacrament of Holy Chrismation. DOES THE UNCREATED LIGHT APPEAR DURING BAPTISM? There are testimonies and videos circulated online that claim to show extraordinary light during Orthodox baptisms. Such images can inspire awe and encourage reflection on the presence of God in the sacramental life.

HYPNOSIS: A DANGEROUS DOOR TO DECEPTION? Under hypnosis, a person may become deeply absorbed in suggestions, imagery, and ideas introduced by another person. From an Orthodox Christian perspective, this raises important questions about discernment, spiritual deception, and the need to guard one’s mind. What a person experiences during hypnosis should not automatically be accepted as truth, revelation, or a glimpse into a hidden spiritual reality. The human imagination and subconscious processes can produce vivid experiences that feel entirely real, yet feelings of certainty do not prove that an experience is genuine. As Orthodox Christians, we are called to test every spiritual claim with discernment, remain grounded in the truth of Christ, and avoid practices that may compromise our freedom, judgment, or spiritual peace. Not every vision is a revelation. Not every voice speaks the truth. And not every extraordinary experience comes from God. Our ultimate guide is not hypnosis, altered consciousness, or mysterious experiences, but Jesus Christ and the truth revealed through His Holy Church.

Thursday, October 22, 2026 Learn the whole truth here. The custodian of the Holy Sepulchre is proud to have said that the Holy Fire was lit with a lighter and that it is not a miracle. What do you think? First of all, when it comes to God, nothing is impossible. God can kindle a flame and recreate the world from the very beginning. I went to the Holy Land in Jerusalem and experienced Holy Week there. I was standing next to the Patriarch during the ceremony of the Holy Fire, outside the Holy Sepulchre. Of course, what I can tell you is this: I did not see how the Patriarch lit his candles inside the Holy Sepulchre. I was not there. No one else was there, not even the custodian. Only the Patriarch knows whether he used a lighter or lit the candles in some other way. For many centuries, we have had historical testimonies claiming that the Holy Fire lights the Patriarch’s candles by itself, along with many other accounts that I do not wish to mention. When I visited the Holy Sepulchre, I witnessed something remarkable. Before the Patriarch came out to distribute the Holy Fire to the people, as is customary, I sat down and watched what was happening around me. The candles held by people beneath the dome of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre began lighting by themselves. The candle at the Holy Gate was also lit. lit by itself right in front of us. There was an elderly Cypriot woman from Athienou who could not get inside the Holy Sepulchre. She remained outside on the steps near the shops, crying because she could not enter. Then the candles on the steps began lighting by themselves. This same elderly woman told me what had happened. Another woman, who was standing on a balcony, also saw the candles lighting by themselves. Wonderful! The Patriarch lit the Holy Fire in whatever way he did. I do not know how the candles of the people were lit. I can only tell you what we witnessed. I also saw the Holy Fire appearing like a blue lightning bolt. I asked the person standing next to me whether he had seen anything. He told me he had seen a vertical bolt of lightning. Another person saw a luminous sphere, while someone else saw nothing at all. If this were an artificial phenomenon, surely we would all see the same thing. How is it that I saw it one way, another person saw it differently, and someone else saw it as a sphere or a cloud? A monk standing with me described what he had seen. I asked him, “What did you see?” He replied, “A bright cloud above the Holy Sepulchre.” Each person sees it according to his or her own experience and spiritual state. What can I say about what happens between the patriarchs? They will have to answer that for themselves. However, I will say this: the Armenian clergy, who remain outside, can see the Orthodox Patriarch inside. If this were a deception or some kind of fraud, those who seek to prevent the Orthodox from receiving the Holy Fire would surely expose it as such. Why, then, would the Patriarch deceive people? There is also the well-known account of the pillar at the entrance to the Church of the Resurrection, from which the Holy Fire is said to have emerged when the Turks expelled the Orthodox and refused to allow the Orthodox Patriarch to bring out the Holy Fire. The Armenians were allowed to proceed instead, but the Holy Fire reportedly emerged from the pillar. The pillar split open, and the Holy Fire came out of it. What are we to make of all these accounts passed down through the centuries? When I returned from Jerusalem, I asked Saint Paisios about the Holy Fire. I said to him, “Elder, have you ever seen the Holy Fire appear at a time other than Easter?” He told me that all the holy shrines, especially the Holy Sepulchre, possess an everlasting Holy Light. We simply cannot see it. The Holy Fire does not appear only on Holy Saturday. According to the testimonies of many Christians and holy elders, it has appeared at the Holy Sepulchre on other occasions as well. There have also been accounts from Mount Athos of lamps lighting by themselves and oil containers being miraculously filled. In our own time, it was reported that containers that had been empty were found full of oil the following morning. The monks went in and discovered that the containers were overflowing with oil. We are talking about containers holding enormous quantities of oil, not merely five kilograms. Such things have reportedly happened many times at Vatopedi Monastery and elsewhere. For us, a miracle is not something strange. It is an act of God. If some people wish to question these things, let them do so.

It is possible that Angelica genuinely experienced something, but I strongly believe that what she saw was not Jesus Christ. She must pray for spiritual discernment, because Christ would not need golden sandals or a golden belt covered with the words “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” to demonstrate His divine authority. His very presence would be sufficient for all to recognize Him as King. Furthermore, would Christ walk through Hell pointing His finger at people and saying, “You know what you did”? When the final judgment comes, God will judge humanity with perfect justice, while the devil seeks to accuse and condemn. Therefore, I sincerely believe that Angelica may have been deceived by the devil, who seeks to lead her astray

The Christian message is not that we must live countless earthly lives to attain spiritual perfection. It is that Christ conquered death through His death and Resurrection and calls us to eternal communion with Him. Do not confuse subjective experiences, hypnotic suggestions, or claims of past-life memories with the truth of the Gospel. Our hope is not reincarnation. Our hope is the Resurrection of the dead and eternal life in Jesus Christ. “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” (John 11:25) Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ, who conquered death and opened the way to eternal life.

Here is the complete text structured for direct copy-pasting into your blog in three languages: English, Greek, and Esperanto. 🇬🇧 English The time that ORTHODOXY will prevail is near We know that it is not only the natural laws, but also spiritual. Therefore, the wrath of God can not be addressed by cooperative sinners (why double rage will become), but by repentance and adherence to orders Lord. Elder Sophronius of Mount Athos (1993) telling the Essex, England like Saint Paisius: “The Union of Churches is difficult if not impossible for them. speak for the Union Churches do not know the mentality of the heterodox or level Orthodoxy.” Saint Paisius the above knowledge, advises everyone to be more restrained because there will be the time when the Lord will present the Marcus Polite and fast palms to gather all scandalized our brethren, to confess the Orthodox faith, to clinch tradition and give great joy to our Mother. Essentially the elder prophesying a truly Orthodox Synod. Perhaps the 8th Ecumenical Council for which prophesied to become the Holy Nile Myrovlytis: Then he made at the eighth meeting, and wants to choose good from evil, ie Orthodoxy, as the farmer selects the wheat from the chaff. and Then make peace little people again will change the agreement in their evil .... Peace in the world can not come without a peacemaker, living and unadulterated teaching Orthodoxy. Dissemination However, although continued after the fall of City, to a degree, it should be maximized and will officially spread dynamically after the 3rd World War general war as Mentioning Agios Kosmas of Aetolia. This will be the period glimpse of Orthodoxy, for a short time, because then start again people are lured into evil. Believe it or not there is going to be a glimpse of orthodoxy around the globe, Because God wants you to know what the real truth is. Before the ascension of the Antichrist. 🇬🇷 Ελληνικά (Greek) Ο καιρός που η ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑ θα επικρατήσει είναι εγγύς Γνωρίζουμε ότι δεν υπάρχουν μόνο οι φυσικοί νόμοι, αλλά και οι πνευματικοί. Επομένως, η οργή του Θεού δεν μπορεί να αντιμετωπιστεί από συνεργαζόμενους αμαρτωλούς (καθώς αυτό θα φέρει διπλή οργή), αλλά με μετάνοια και υπακοή στις εντολές του Κυρίου. Ο Γέροντας Σωφρόνιος του Αγίου Όρους (1993) λέει στο Έσσεξ της Αγγλίας, όπως και ο Άγιος Παΐσιος: «Η Ένωση των Εκκλησιών είναι δύσκολη, αν όχι αδύνατη γι’ αυτούς. Όσοι μιλούν για την Ένωση των Εκκλησιών δεν γνωρίζουν τη νοοτροπία των ετεροδόξων ή το επίπεδο της Ορθοδοξίας.» Ο Άγιος Παΐσιος, έχοντας αυτή τη γνώση, συμβουλεύει όλους να είναι πιο συγκρατημένοι, διότι θα έρθει η ώρα που ο Κύριος θα παρουσιάσει τον Μάρκο τον Ευγενικό και ταχείς προστάτες για να συγκεντρώσουν όλους τους σκανδαλισμένους αδελφούς μας, για να ομολογήσουν την Ορθόδοξη πίστη, να στηρίξουν την παράδοση και να δώσουν μεγάλη χαρά στη Μητέρα μας. Ουσιαστικά ο Γέροντας προφητεύει μια αληθινά Ορθόδοξη Σύνοδο. Ίσως την 8η Οικουμενική Σύνοδο, για την οποία προφήτευσε και ο Άγιος Νείλος ο Μυροβλήτης: Τότε στη συνάντηση αυτή θα θελήσουν να ξεχωρίσουν το καλό από το κακό, δηλαδή την Ορθοδοξία, όπως ο γεωργός ξεχωρίζει το σιτάρι από το άχυρο. Και αφού ειρηνεύσουν, οι κακοί άνθρωποι πάλι θα αθετήσουν τη συμφωνία προς το κακό... Η ειρήνη στον κόσμο δεν μπορεί να έρθει χωρίς έναν ειρηνοποιό, ζωντανή και αθεράπευτα αληθινή διδασκαλία της Ορθοδοξίας. Η διάδοση, αν και συνεχίστηκε μετά την Άλωση της Πόλης σε κάποιο βαθμό, πρέπει να μεγιστοποιηθεί και θα εξαπλωθεί επίσημα και δυναμικά μετά τον 3ο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, όπως αναφέρει και ο Άγιος Κοσμάς ο Αιτωλός. Αυτή θα είναι η περίοδος της λαμπρής αναλαμπής της Ορθοδοξίας, για μικρό χρονικό διάστημα, διότι στη συνέχεια οι άνθρωποι θα παρασυρθούν ξανά στο κακό. Είτε το πιστεύετε είτε όχι, θα υπάρξει μια αναλαμπή της Ορθοδοξίας σε όλο τον πλανήτη, Επειδή ο Θεός θέλει να γνωρίζετε ποια είναι η πραγματική αλήθεια. Πριν από την άνοδο του Αντίχριστου. 🌐 Esperanto La tempo kiam ORTODOKSECO supervalos estas proksima Ni scias, ke ekzistas ne nur la naturaj leĝoj, sed ankaŭ spiritaj. Tial, la kolero de Dio ne povas esti forigita per kunlaboremaj pekuloj (kio nur duobligos la koleregon), sed per pentofaro kaj obeo al la ordonoj de la Sinjoro. Pastro-Aĝulo Sofronio de Monto Athos (1993) diris en Essex, Anglio, similesprime al Sanktulo Paisios: “La Unuiĝo de la Eklezioj estas malfacila, se ne neebla por ili. Tiuj, kiuj parolas pri la Unuiĝo de la Eklezioj, ne konas la pensmanieron de la heterodoksuloj aŭ la nivelon de Ortodokseco.” Sanktulo Paisios, bazite sur la supra scio, konsilas al ĉiuj esti pli moderaj, ĉar venos tempo kiam la Sinjoro prezentos Markon la Senmakulan kaj rapidajn manojn por kolekti ĉiujn niajn skandalitajn fratojn, por konfesi la Ortodoksan fidon, firme teni la tradicion kaj doni grandan ĝojon al nia Patrino. Esence la aĝulo profetas vere Ortodoksan Sinodon. Eble la 8-an Ekumenan Koncilion, pri kiu profetis Sankta Nilo la Mirovlitiso: Tiam, ĉe la oka kunveno, oni volos elekti la bonon el la malbono, tio estas Ortodoksecon, same kiel la farmisto elektas la tritikon el la ĉafo. Kaj tiam, kiam fariĝos paco, malbonaj homoj denove ŝanĝos la interkonsenton al sia malbono... Paco en la mondo ne povas veni sen pacfaranto, vivanta kaj nesubfosa instruo de Ortodokseco. Tamen, kvankam la diskonigo daŭris post la falo de la Urbo (Konstantinopolo) ĝis iu grado, ĝi devas atingi sian maksimumon kaj oficiale disvastiĝos dinamike post la 3-a Mondmilito, kiel menciis Sanktulo Kosmas el Etolio. Ĉi tio estos la periodo de ekbrilo de Ortodokseco, por mallonga tempo, ĉar poste homoj denove estos logataj en la malbonon. Ĉu vi kredas aŭ ne, estos ekbrilo de ortodokseco ĉirkaŭ la globo, Ĉar Dio volas, ke vi sciu kio estas la vera vero. Antaŭ la alveno de la Antikristo.

Ο Άγιος Παΐσιος και ο νεαρός που βοηθούσε ένα ορφανό — Η συγκλονιστική διήγηση για το έλεος της Παναγίας Η διήγηση στα ελληνικά Μια συγκινητική ιστορία που αποδίδεται σε συνάντηση με τον Άγιο Παΐσιο αναφέρεται σε έναν νεαρό άνδρα, ο οποίος είχε συνάψει σχέσεις με πολλές γυναίκες και αισθανόταν ντροπή να συναντήσει τον Άγιο και να του μιλήσει για τη ζωή του. Όταν βρέθηκε εκεί όπου περίμεναν και άλλοι άνθρωποι για να συναντήσουν τον Άγιο Παΐσιο, ο νεαρός επέλεξε να περιμένει μέχρι το τέλος. Δεν ήθελε να ακούσουν οι υπόλοιποι τη συζήτησή του με τον Γέροντα ούτε να μάθουν όσα τον απασχολούσαν. Όταν τελικά ήρθε η σειρά του, ο νεαρός βρέθηκε μπροστά στον Άγιο Παΐσιο, έχοντας μέσα του την αμηχανία και την αγωνία για το τι θα του έλεγε ο Γέροντας. Σύμφωνα με τη διήγηση, ο Άγιος Παΐσιος τού είπε: «Τι να σου πω; Η Παναγία δεν με αφήνει να σου πω κάτι που θα σε στενοχωρήσει, γιατί εσύ βοηθάς ένα ορφανό». Τα λόγια αυτά φανερώνουν το βαθύτερο μήνυμα της ιστορίας: ότι, πέρα από τις αδυναμίες και τα σφάλματα του ανθρώπου, η αγάπη, η φιλανθρωπία και η έμπρακτη βοήθεια προς έναν συνάνθρωπο που έχει ανάγκη έχουν μεγάλη πνευματική σημασία. Η διήγηση μάς καλεί να μην κρίνουμε τους ανθρώπους μόνο από τις αδυναμίες τους, αλλά να θυμόμαστε και τις πράξεις αγάπης που κάνουν, συχνά μακριά από τα βλέμματα των άλλων. Η ιστορία αποδίδεται στον Άγιο Παΐσιο και μεταφέρει ένα μήνυμα ελέους, ταπείνωσης και αγάπης προς τον συνάνθρωπο. Σημείωση για την πηγή της διήγησης Η διήγηση βασίζεται στη μαρτυρία του ίδιου προσώπου, το οποίο, σύμφωνα με τις πληροφορίες που συνοδεύουν την ιστορία, αφηγείται το περιστατικό εδώ και πολλά χρόνια. Η μακροχρόνια αυτή μαρτυρία αποτελεί τη βάση της παρούσας παρουσίασης. ⸻ Saint Paisios and the Young Man Who Helped an Orphan — A Moving Story About the Mercy of the Virgin Mary The Story in English A touching story attributed to a meeting with Saint Paisios tells of a young man who had been involved with many women and felt ashamed to meet the Elder and speak to him about his life. When he arrived at a place where other people were waiting to meet Saint Paisios, the young man chose to wait until everyone else had finished. He did not want the others to hear his conversation with the Elder or learn about the things that troubled him. When his turn finally came, the young man stood before Saint Paisios, feeling embarrassed and anxious about what the Elder might say to him. According to the account, Saint Paisios told him: “What can I tell you? The Panagia does not allow me to say anything that would upset you, because you help an orphan.” These words convey the deeper message of the story: beyond a person’s weaknesses and mistakes, love, charity, and practical help offered to someone in need have great spiritual significance. The account encourages us not to judge people solely by their shortcomings, but also to remember the acts of love they perform, often far from the eyes of others. The story is attributed to Saint Paisios and conveys a message of mercy, humility, and love for one’s fellow human beings. Note on the Source This account is based on the testimony of the same person who, according to the information accompanying the story, has been recounting the episode for many years. This longstanding testimony forms the basis of the present article.

Οι Δύο Δρόμοι: Μια Παραδοσιακή Ορθόδοξη Αλληγορία / The Two Ways: A Traditional Orthodox Allegory Ελληνικά Η εικόνα αυτή απεικονίζει αλληγορικά «Οι Δύο Δρόμοι» της ανθρώπινης ζωής, βασισμένη στην ορθόδοξη πνευματική παράδοση και τις διδασκαλίες του Ευαγγελίου (όπως το κατά Ματθαίον 7:13-14). * Ο Στενός και Τεθλιμμένος Δρόμος (Αριστερά): Οδηγεί στη σωτηρία και τη Βασιλεία των Ουρανών. Βλέπουμε πιστούς να κουβαλούν τον σταυρό τους ακολουθώντας τον Χριστό. Γύρω από τον Χριστό ακτινοβολούν οι αρετές και οι καρποί του Πνεύματος: Αγάπη, Υπομονή, Πίστις, Μετάνοια, Ἁγνεία, Ἐγκράτεια, Προσευχή, Ἐλπίς, Πραότης, Μακροθυμία, Εὐηκοΐα, Δικαιοσύνη, Εὐσέβεια, Ταπεινοφροσύνη και Εἰρήνη. Στη βάση, βλέπεται το μήνυμα: «Χωρίς "Σταυρό" δέν συναντᾶμε τόν Χριστό!!». * Ο Εὐρύχωρος Δρόμος (Δεξιά): Οδηγεί στην απώλεια. Ένας δαίμονας παίζει μουσική προσελκύοντας τα πλήθη, τα οποία περνούν από μια φαρδιά πύλη φορτωμένα με πάθη και αμαρτίες όπως: Ὑπερηφάνεια, Μισαδελφία, Ἀπιστία, Ψεῦδος, Καταλαλιά, Ἐπιορκία, Μνησικακία, Πορνεία, Μοιχεία, Φόνος και Φθόνος. Ανάμεσα στα πλήθη διακρίνονται χαρακτήρες όπως κλέφτες, ψεύστες, γαστρίμαργοι, υποκριτές, μέθυσοι και φιλάργυροι. English This image allegorically depicts "The Two Ways" of human life, rooted in the Orthodox spiritual tradition and Gospel teachings (such as Matthew 7:13-14). * The Narrow and Afflicted Path (Left): It leads to salvation and eternal life. We see believers carrying their crosses and following Christ. Radiating around Christ are the virtues and fruits of the Spirit: Love, Perseverance, Faith, Repentance, Purity, Self-control, Prayer, Hope, Gentleness, Patience, Obedience, Righteousness, Piety, Humility, and Peace. At the bottom, the core message reads: "Without a 'Cross', we do not meet Christ!!". * The Broad Path (Right): It leads to destruction. A demon plays music to entice the crowds, who pass through a wide gate burdened with vices and sins such as: Pride, Hatred of Brethren, Unbelief, Lies, Slander, Perjury, Spite, Fornication, Adultery, Murder, and Envy. Among the crowd, various figures are labeled, including thieves, liars, gluttons, hypocrites, drunkards, and the covetous.

Το Θαύμα του Αγίου Φωτός: Η Ζωντανή Μαρτυρία της Ορθόδοξης Αλήθειας English The Miracle of the Holy Fire: A Living Witness of the Orthodox Truth Every Holy Saturday, at the Tomb of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, a divine miracle unfolds before the eyes of the world. The Holy Fire descends not by human hands, but as a living testimony of the Resurrection and God's grace. Throughout history, this supreme miracle occurs exclusively through the prayers of the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem. It stands as a profound, visible witness that the Orthodox Church has preserved the pure, unbroken faith of the Apostles. The Holy Fire is not merely a sign; it is a radiant confirmation that Orthodoxy remains the living Truth of Christ on Earth. Русский Чудо Святого Огня: Живое свидетельство Православной Истины Каждую Великую Субботу у Гроба Господня в Иерусалиме на глазах у всего мира совершается великое чудо. Благодатный Огонь сходит не от рук человеческих, но как живое свидетельство Воскресения и божественной благодати. На протяжении веков это явное чудо происходит исключительно по молитвам Православного Патриарха Иерусалимского. Это служит непреложным свидетельством того, что именно Православная Церковь сохранила чистую и неповрежденную апостольскую веру. Благодатный Огонь — это вечное подтверждение того, что Православие есть единственная и истинная вера Христова. العربية معجزة النور المقدس: شهادة حية للحق الأرثوذكسي في كل سبت أسبوع الآلام، وأمام أنظار العالم أجمع، تتجلى معجزة إلهية عند قبر يسوع المسيح في اورشليم القدس. ينزل النور المقدس لا بأيدٍ بشرية، بل كشهادة حية على القيامة والنعمة الإلهية. عبر التاريخ، تحدث هذه المعجزة العظيمة حصرياً من خلال صلوات البطريرك الأرثوذكسي لأورشليم. إنها تقف كشاهد حي وعميق على أن الكنيسة الأرثوذكسية قد حفظت الإيمان الرسولي النقي والمستقيم. إن النور المقدس ليس مجرد علامة، بل هو تأكيد ساطع على أن الأرثوذكسية هي الحقيقة الحية للمسيح على الأرض.

🔥 ΤΟ ΑΓΙΟ ΦΩΣ — THE HOLY FIRE — СВЯТОЙ СВЕТ 🇬🇷 ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ Το Άγιο Φως: Εκεί όπου η Πίστη συναντά το Μυστήριο Η ραγισμένη κολόνα στον Ναό της Αναστάσεως στα Ιεροσόλυμα δεν είναι, για την Ορθόδοξη παράδοση, απλώς μια πέτρα. Είναι ένα ιστορικό και πνευματικό σύμβολο που συνδέεται με την παράδοση του Αγίου Φωτός. Σύμφωνα με την παράδοση, όταν ο Ορθόδοξος Πατριάρχης δεν μπορούσε να εισέλθει στον Πανάγιο Τάφο για την τελετή του Αγίου Φωτός, το Φως εμφανίστηκε από τη ραγισμένη κολόνα. Ο Πατριάρχης έλαβε από εκεί το Άγιο Φως και οι πιστοί δοξολόγησαν τον Αναστάντα Χριστό. Η κολόνα παραμένει μέχρι σήμερα ως υπενθύμιση της πίστης και της βαθιάς πνευματικής σημασίας που έχει το Άγιο Φως για εκατομμύρια Ορθοδόξους Χριστιανούς σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο. Η Ορθοδοξία δεν είναι απλώς μια ιδεολογία. Είναι η συνέχεια της Αποστολικής Εκκλησίας, η πίστη των Αγίων Πατέρων και η εμπειρία της Αναστάσεως του Χριστού. 🔬 Πίστη και επιστημονική παρατήρηση Το Άγιο Φως έχει προσελκύσει τα τελευταία χρόνια και το ενδιαφέρον ανθρώπων που θέλησαν να παρατηρήσουν το φαινόμενο με επιστημονικά μέσα. Ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Gennady Zaridze έχει ασχοληθεί με την παρατήρηση των φυσικών χαρακτηριστικών της φλόγας κατά την τελετή του Αγίου Φωτός. Σύμφωνα με τις αναφορές της συγκεκριμένης έρευνας, έγιναν μετρήσεις της θερμοκρασίας της φλόγας σε διαφορετικές χρονικές στιγμές. Αναφέρεται ότι αμέσως μετά την εμφάνιση του Αγίου Φωτός η θερμοκρασία καταγράφηκε περίπου στους 40°C, ενώ περίπου δεκαπέντε λεπτά αργότερα η θερμοκρασία αυξήθηκε σε επίπεδα άνω των 300°C. Οι παρατηρήσεις αυτές δεν αποτελούν από μόνες τους ελεγχόμενο εργαστηριακό πείραμα. Ωστόσο, δημιουργούν ενδιαφέροντα ερωτήματα σχετικά με τις φυσικές ιδιότητες της φλόγας. Αναφέρονται επίσης μετρήσεις ηλεκτρομαγνητικής δραστηριότητας από τον ερευνητή Andrei Volkov του Ινστιτούτου Kurchatov. Η επιστήμη μπορεί να παρατηρεί και να μετρά. Η πίστη, όμως, αναζητά και το πνευματικό νόημα. Για τον Ορθόδοξο πιστό, το Άγιο Φως δεν είναι απλώς ένα φυσικό φαινόμενο. Είναι ένα ιερό σημείο που συνδέεται με την Ανάσταση του Χριστού και με την πνευματική ζωή της Εκκλησίας. Το Άγιο Φως βρίσκεται στο σημείο όπου η επιστημονική παρατήρηση συναντά το μυστήριο της πίστης. «Καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν.» Χριστός Ανέστη! Αληθώς Ανέστη! ⸻ 🇬🇧 ENGLISH The Holy Fire: Where Faith Meets Mystery The cracked column in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is not, according to Orthodox tradition, merely a stone. It is a historical and spiritual symbol associated with the tradition of the Holy Fire. According to tradition, when the Orthodox Patriarch was prevented from entering the Holy Tomb for the ceremony of the Holy Fire, the Light appeared from the cracked column. The Patriarch received the Holy Fire from that place, and the faithful glorified the Risen Christ. The column remains there today as a reminder of the faith and profound spiritual significance that the Holy Fire has for millions of Orthodox Christians throughout the world. Orthodoxy is not merely an ideology. It is the continuation of the Apostolic Church, the faith of the Holy Fathers, and the experience of Christ’s Resurrection. 🔬 Faith and Scientific Observation In recent years, the Holy Fire has also attracted the attention of people who have attempted to observe its physical characteristics using scientific instruments. Archbishop Gennady Zaridze has been associated with observations concerning the physical properties of the flame during the Holy Fire ceremony. According to reports concerning these observations, temperature measurements were taken at different moments during the ceremony. It has been reported that immediately after the appearance of the Holy Fire, the temperature was measured at approximately 40°C, while about fifteen minutes later it increased to levels above 300°C. These observations, by themselves, do not constitute a controlled laboratory experiment. Nevertheless, they raise interesting questions about the physical characteristics of the flame. There have also been reports of measurements of electromagnetic activity by researcher Andrei Volkov of the Kurchatov Institute. Science can observe and measure. Faith, however, also seeks the spiritual meaning behind what is observed. For the Orthodox believer, the Holy Fire is not merely a physical phenomenon. It is a sacred sign associated with the Resurrection of Christ and with the spiritual life of the Church. The Holy Fire stands at the point where scientific observation meets the mystery of faith. “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen! ⸻ 🇷🇺 РУССКИЙ Святой Свет: там, где вера встречается с тайной Расколотая колонна в Храме Воскресения Христова в Иерусалиме, согласно православному преданию, является не просто камнем. Это исторический и духовный символ, связанный с преданием о Святом Свете. Согласно преданию, когда православному Патриарху не позволили войти в Гроб Господень для совершения обряда схождения Святого Света, Свет появился из расколотой колонны. Патриарх получил Святой Свет именно оттуда, а верующие прославили Воскресшего Христа. Эта колонна и сегодня остаётся напоминанием о вере и о глубоком духовном значении Святого Света для миллионов православных христиан во всём мире. Православие — это не просто идеология. Это продолжение Апостольской Церкви, вера Святых Отцов и опыт Воскресения Христова. 🔬 Вера и научные наблюдения В последние годы Святой Свет привлёк внимание также людей, которые стремились исследовать физические свойства пламени с помощью научных инструментов. Архиепископ Геннадий Заридзе занимался наблюдением за физическими характеристиками пламени во время церемонии Святого Света. Согласно опубликованным сообщениям об этих наблюдениях, температура пламени измерялась в различные моменты церемонии. Сообщается, что сразу после появления Святого Света температура составляла приблизительно 40°C, а примерно через пятнадцать минут повышалась до уровня свыше 300°C. Сами по себе эти наблюдения не являются контролируемым лабораторным экспериментом. Однако они вызывают интересные вопросы о физических свойствах пламени.

Ελληνικά (Greek) Η πλάνη των αγγελικών εμφορήσεων και η Αλήθεια της Εκκλησίας Ἡ Ἁγία Γραφή μᾶς προειδοποιεῖ, ὅτι ὁ σατανᾶς «μετασχηματίζεται καί εἰς ἄγγελον φωτός» διά νά πλανήσῃ.

English (Αγγλικά) The Deception of Angelic Apparitions and the Truth of the Church Holy Scripture warns us that Satan "transforms himself into an angel of light" in order to deceive. The incidents in which Christians, even monks, fell victim to deceptive demonic apparitions are fully recorded in the book Gerontikon on Dreams and Visions published by the Holy Monastery of St. Nicodemus. We also know from Holy Scripture that even if "an angel from heaven preaches any other gospel unto you than that which we have received, let him be accursed." For this reason, any proclaimed union that harms the saving Truth of the Church cannot be accepted, as it causes confusion and perdition—all the more so when it is based on the spirit of our age, which seeks after spectacles. 3. Русский (Ρωσικά) Обман ангельских явлений и Истина Церкви Священное Писание предупреждает нас, что сатана «принимает вид Ангела света», чтобы прельстить. Случаи, когда христиане и даже монахи становились жертвами обманчивых бесовских явлений, подробно описаны в книге «Патерик о снах и видениях», изданной Святой Обителью Преподобного Никодима. Мы также знаем из Священного Писания, что если даже «Ангел с неба стал бы благовествовать вам не то, что мы благовествовали вам, да будет анафема». По этой причине любое провозглашаемое учение или объединение, которое вредит спасительной Истине Церкви, не может быть принято, так как оно сеет смятение и ведет к погибели, особенно когда оно основано на духе нашего времени, жаждущем зрелищ.

If someone asks you: “How can it be proven that Orthodoxy is the only true faith?” Answer them: a) The Holy Fire is miraculously given only to the Orthodox and to no heterodox or non-Christian. b) Only an Orthodox priest casts demons out of a possessed person. With heterodox and non-Orthodox clergy, the demon is indifferent. c) Only Christ’s tomb is empty. No other tomb of a religious leader is empty. Christ’s empty tomb is evidence of the Resurrection and of our true faith. d) Only in Orthodoxy do you encounter countless holy relics. Doctors who have examined holy relics—some incorrupt and others fragrant—have been unable to explain them scientifically. e) Only in Orthodoxy will you encounter countless miracles from the Panagia, numerous Saints, and countless miraculous icons. f) Only an Orthodox priest, by reading a special prayer, blesses water and makes it Holy Water. Moreover, Holy Water never spoils, no matter how many centuries pass. g) Only Orthodoxy has millions of martyrs. Holy Fire 2026 HAPPY RESURRECTION TO EVERYONE The little bed of Saint Porphyrios.

The Spark of the Soul and the Power of Repentance "The soul of an unbaptized person is like a piece of coal that, no matter how hard you try, you cannot ignite. But the soul of a baptized person is like a burning coal! Yet, as long as a person sins and remains unconfessed and unrepentant, this coal slowly fades away. However, due to God’s infinite Mercy and Love for mankind, it does not go out completely, but remains as a single, unique spark! When that person truly repents and makes a sincere confession, the coal reignites! The only case where the coal goes out completely is when a person becomes a heretic or unbaptizes themselves..." — Dimitrios Panagopoulos (Lay Preacher, 1916–1982)

FIDEL CASTRO, FREEMASONRY AND THE QUESTION OF FAITH Look at Fidel Castro here: his eyes are raised upward, in a gesture that may evoke the image of Jesus, while his hand points downward toward the Masonic symbol of the “Great Architect of the Universe.” The name Lucifer literally means “light-bearer” or “bringer of light.” Some critics of Freemasonry therefore interpret the language of “light” in Masonic symbolism as having a darker spiritual meaning, associating it with Lucifer and demonic powers. Freemasonry, however, officially describes itself as a non-religious organization whose members may belong to different faiths. It requires belief in a Supreme Being in many regular Masonic jurisdictions, and uses the expression G.A.O.T.U. — Great Architect of the Universe. The deeper question is therefore this: Can a Christian truly remain faithful to Jesus Christ while also belonging to Freemasonry? For an Orthodox Christian, the answer depends upon how the Church understands the relationship between the Christian faith, Christ as the Son and Logos of God, and Masonic teachings and symbolism. “The Son and Logos of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ — or the concept of an impersonal Supreme Being?” That is the spiritual dilemma this image raises.

Elder Galaktia: “The Turks Are Afraid. They Will Take a Beating from the Bolsheviks (Russians)!” orthodoxia.gr 1) A GREAT EVIL WILL COME July 9, 2020 Recorded by her caregivers. ELDER: “I was with the Leader of all things and the entire staff. All the officers were there, and the First One also came. A great and terrible loss! What are these things that are going to happen? Look… The enemy, there he is outside. What is he doing? ‘God is with us, and no one can stand against us.’ ‘Save, O Lord, Your people and bless Your inheritance.’ Strange things, strange things, strange things… Married people, young people, and priests. My eyes have seen many terrible things. A great evil will come. We are fighting to confront it and hold it back. In the end, everything will be put in order. Not one way for one person and another way for another. The Great Commander of the Heavenly Powers, the dark one [meaning Michael], was saying: ‘Since they do not speak about repentance, and those who ought to say it are ashamed to do so, you tell the people to call upon me in difficult times and say: “Having you as the protector and helper, guardian and deliverer of my humble soul, Michael, first among the Archangels and great Commander, in the hour of danger, help me.”’ (She was chanting the Magnificat/Hymn of the Archangel, which she recited many times during each day.) ⸻ 2) THE TURKS ARE COMING April 28, 2016 The Elder was speaking to a high-ranking military officer who had visited her. ELDER: “Listen, my child. The Turks are coming. They will enter Crete for two or three days. They are cowards. They will do little. But they will do something because of our sins… Then they will leave in panic. The Bolsheviks (Russians) will come down. They are Orthodox. They control half of Europe. Turkey will meet its final fate at their hands. It will never see the light of day again. Do you hear me?” ⸻ 3) THE TURKS ARE COWARDS AND DECEIVERS December 16, 2016 The Elder was speaking to her caregivers. ELDER: “The Turks are deceitful. They are afraid; they are trembling. They will make a ‘bouli-bouli tsa’ [an expression referring to making a commotion or causing trouble] and then they will disappear forever. Tell people this, so that they will not be afraid. We only need to repent. And you will see gifts and divine wonders. Only keep saying: repentance. We have become like worms, my children…” ⸻ 4) ADVICE TO CYPRIOTS January 10, 2018 The Elder was speaking to young Cypriots. ELDER: “Keep your humanity, my children; your honesty and your purity. No premarital relationships. There is nothing wrong with getting married, living with your wife—and you,” (she said to one of the young women), “with your husband, having children and creating a family. But live as God commanded. As God taught. Not with the filth that the devil boasts about today. If you do these things, furrows and cracks will open in your soul that will not easily close. Be careful with your eyes and with your thoughts. We also sin through these things, but less. You,” (she said to one of the young men), “are embarrassed and afraid of me. Do not be afraid, my child. Your little heart shines. And you,” (she said to another), “have eyes sparkling with intelligence, and you are absorbing everything here now. Continue to pray. But not only prayer and monasteries… and work. Honest work also becomes prayer, because we do it with prayer. A famine will come… It will not affect us very much. We will live on snails and wild greens. It will not last long. The Bolsheviks (the Russians) will be the ones who punish Turkey.” (She repeated this at least ten times.) “I am saddened that people will be killed, because they are human beings too. But they do not sit quietly, my child. They do not learn. They will take a beating from the Bolsheviks—a severe one.” “Give my greetings to the Bishop (Morphou), who sent you. He has drive, fire. He is a beast [in the sense of being extremely powerful and vigorous]. He sits on the ground. He is simple like the children… And the others—the Bishops from Cyprus whom I met—they are chosen ones. Give them, from me, a paper icon of Saint George that I will give you, so that they will remember me and forgive me. The holiest man is called Ephraim, and he is in America…” ⸻ 5) CYPRUS WILL BE UNITED, BEAUTIFULLY January 15, 2018 The Elder was speaking to Cypriots. ELDER: “You will suffer nothing in the things that are coming… Cyprus will be united, beautifully, beautifully.” (She made a gesture with her hands.) “They will leave”—she meant the Turks—“and then you will also acquire true freedom. Your Bishop (Morphou) will be voted for by everyone here on earth and by everyone above.” (She pointed toward the sky.) ⸻ 6) CYPRUS WILL BE LIBERATED April 25, 2018 The Elder was speaking to a young Cypriot. ELDER: “Now you are completely clean. You do not like lies, obscene words, or vulgarities. You do not tolerate sin. Once, however, you were burdened. You must get married. Half of your homeland is ‘bergomeno’ [wrapped in thorns, held captive]. But the prescription has ended. It will easily be freed from its entanglement and become one. You are unmarried. You will get married… that is how it should be. Your mother feeds you. She has a soft spot for you. You have been here for two or three days and she is already looking for you…” ⸻ Excerpts from the book: The Venerable Elder Galaktia of Crete Theomorphos Publications

THE GREAT WAGER A Spiritual Warning from Fotis Kontoglou A couple of days ago, I was reading an old book by Fotis Kontoglou, the great Greek hagiographer and writer. I came across a very beautiful passage that I wanted to share with you. It is called “The Great Wager.” It speaks about the great wager between believers and unbelievers—in other words, about the struggle that takes place between a person who believes in God and one who does not. The believer does not wage war against the unbeliever. Rather, he simply tells him, with love, that he is going down the wrong path and that he should begin to think more seriously about these things—to seriously consider spiritual matters and the truth of Christ. For Christ is the Truth. There is no other truth apart from Christ. Let me read this passage slowly and say a few words about it. A Night Beneath the Stars One beautiful spring night, just before midnight, before I went to sleep, I went into the little garden behind our house. I stood there for a while, looking up at the nearby sky, filled with stars, as though I were seeing it for the first time. Sometimes it seems that a person’s consciousness suddenly opens, and he sees something familiar as though it were completely new. That night I looked at the sky as a child would look at it for the first time. How beautiful the colors seemed to us when we were children! How beautiful the fragrances of the flowers were! Everything had an indescribable, almost virginal beauty. These things filled the space of the child’s soul. And when we grow older, perhaps we retain something of those childhood experiences. Sometimes a particular fragrance, a certain light, or some familiar sight brings those beautiful memories back to us. That night the sky seemed to me to be filled with something profound, as though a distant hymn were coming down from above. It seemed as though I could hear sacred hymns, quietly repeating: “Arise, O Lord, our God, and worship at His feet.” An elderly holy man once told me that at such hours the heavens seem to open, and the air itself becomes filled with the fragrance of musk and with the glory of the Lord. This is why Kontoglou’s description is so beautiful. Who could look at the flowers of spring, smell their fragrance, and gaze upon the stars of a clear night without feeling something great within his soul? My dear friends, look up at the sky on a clear spring night. Look at the stars. You must have felt something. I could have remained there until dawn, as though I had no body and no connection with the earth. But I thought that someone in the house might wake up and worry that I had disappeared. So I went inside, lay down, and soon fell asleep. The Man Who Appeared to Me I do not know whether I was awake or asleep when I suddenly saw before me a strange-looking man. He was pale and yellowish, almost as though he were dead. His eyes were open and he looked at me with terror. His face was like a mask. His skin appeared dark and strangely distorted. With one hand he held his chest, as though he were suffering terrible pain. The sight made me shudder. He kept looking at me without speaking, as though he were waiting for something. Everything was extraordinarily strange. Then I heard a voice. As soon as I heard it, I knew who he was. He opened his mouth and sighed, but his voice seemed to come from very far away—as though it were coming from a deep well. I could see that he was in terrible pain, and I began to suffer with him. His hands, his legs, his eyes—all of him seemed to express unbearable agony. I went toward him because I wanted to help him. But he waved his hands, telling me to stop. Then he began to cry out so terribly that I froze. He said: “I did not come here by myself. They sent me.” I trembled all over. I was completely overwhelmed, and I asked God to have mercy on me. He continued: “I want to die, but I cannot.” Then he said: “What you told me has come true.” “Do you remember a few days before my death, when you came to my house and spoke to me about religion? There were two other friends with me who were unbelievers, just like me. When you spoke, they laughed. They told me that it was a shame for someone with such a good mind to believe such nonsense. They said that these were merely old women’s stories. We had heard such things so many times. And we laughed at you. But now, my friend, I understand what you were telling us.” “I Thought I Would Live Forever” “Do you remember what you told me many times? You told me: ‘My friend, save money if you want, but you will die just like everyone else. Look how much you already have—and yet you always want more.’ And I told you that I had made a kind of agreement with life—that I would live for many more years. You asked me: ‘What do you want to do with all those years?’ And I answered: ‘You will see how old I become. I am seventy-five, and I will live beyond one hundred.’” This, too, was a deception. A person can imagine that he has many years ahead of him, yet the human heart can stop at any moment. Nothing guarantees us another day—or even another minute. The human heart depends upon extraordinarily delicate electrical and biochemical processes. A tiny electrical impulse causes the heart muscle to contract, again and again, keeping the body alive. And yet a person’s entire earthly life can end in a single moment. I thought I had made a contract with life. I said: “I will live beyond one hundred. I have taken care of my children. My son makes good money. My daughter has married a wealthy man. My wife and I have everything we need.” And I thought I was secure. I laughed when Christians spoke about death and the end of life. The Great Irony This is the irony that many secular people and unbelievers use against Christians. When Christians speak about the end of our lives, when we make the sign of the Cross and say that we want our final years—and especially our final moment—to find us as Christians, people sometimes laugh at us. But what does it actually mean? It means that we want to be prepared. We want to leave this world as Christians. That is not something ridiculous. It is something of enormous importance. When we hear in church about death and judgment, we are shaken. We make the sign of the Cross. We understand that our life will end. And we want that end to find us spiritually prepared. Yet some people laugh at this and consider it foolish. But now let us see what happened. “Why Did Your Merciful God Allow Poor People to Exist?” The unbeliever asks: “Why did your merciful God create poor people? Why should I give money to the poor? Why did He bring them into the world?” This is another misunderstanding. We are told to give alms to the poor, not merely because the poor need material help, but because helping them is also for the benefit of our own souls. In reality, the poor often benefit us spiritually far more than we benefit them materially. We may give them a little money, some food, or something they need. But through them, God gives us the opportunity to practice mercy, charity and love. The ideal is not to keep every surplus thing in our own pockets. The Danger of Becoming Dependent And then there is another danger that we should think about. Imagine a society in which everything depends upon cards and electronic systems. You have money, but it exists only through a card. You need the card for everything. Without it, you may find yourself unable to buy what you need. Even today, if you do not have a telephone card, you may have difficulty making a telephone call. You must find another telephone, a public phone, or someone willing to help you. I am not saying that every card is evil or that we should literally reject every modern service. These things can be useful. It is a matter of personal judgment and conscience. We should not condemn someone simply because he uses such services. We do not have that right. But we should remain spiritually alert. We should avoid becoming completely dependent upon systems that could eventually control every aspect of human life. This is an act of vigilance and, where necessary, an act of spiritual resistance. God sees the intention of the heart. Saint Paisios warned that after such systems of identification and cards, even more restrictive forms of identification and control could eventually appear. Whether one agrees with every detail of such warnings or not, the spiritual lesson remains: Do not surrender your freedom of conscience. Do not allow modern conveniences to become chains. “Why Should I Give Anything to the Poor?” The unbeliever continues: “Why should I give anything to poor people who are lazy? Why did God create them? Why should I support them?” But God does not abandon the poor. And He also uses the existence of the poor to test the hearts of those who have more. The poor give us an opportunity to practice mercy. They may receive something from us materially, but we can receive something much greater spiritually. “I Will Live to Be 110” The man continued: “I was a doctor. I had studied. I knew how to speak. I knew how to make fun of religion. I believed only in things that could be seen and measured. I told myself that I would live to be 110 years old. I was certain of it.” But suddenly everything changed. He seemed to be suffering terribly, as though he were being burned. Something came from his mouth. He cried: “Oh! Oh!” Then he became silent for a moment. Finally he said: “What I told you a few days ago has happened. I died. I died—and I lost the wager. What terror! What horror! I cried out: ‘Mercy! Mercy!’ But no one heard me. What torment this is! Everything you told me has come true. You won the wager.” “You Were Right” He continued: “When I was in the world you live in, I thought I was the intelligent one. I was a doctor. I had learned how to speak and how to ridicule religion. I believed only in tangible things. But now I see that what I called fairy tales and superstition is real. Now I understand. Now I see what I refused to believe. But it is too late.” His voice slowly faded away. I fell asleep for a while. Then, suddenly, I felt a cold hand touching me. I opened my eyes and saw him again. This time he looked even more terrible. He appeared smaller, almost like a distorted old Byzantine figure. He opened his mouth and told me: “Soon it will be dawn, and they will come to take me away. Those who sent me will come.” I asked him: “Who sent you?” He answered with confused words that I could hardly understand. Then he told me: “There are many others here like me. They are the ones who mocked you because of your faith. Now they understand that human reasoning does not extend beyond the grave.” The Malice of the Devil He also spoke about people who had received kindness from Christians and yet repaid that kindness with hatred. This is one of the great evils of the devil. Sometimes when we show kindness to someone, that person does not rejoice. Instead, he feels humiliated. He thinks: “They are better than me. They have something I do not have. I am in a worse condition than they are.” And instead of responding to kindness with gratitude, he responds with bitterness. This is a terrible spiritual condition. The man said: “I am being severely tormented because I rejected the love of God. As one of the saints said, the love of God becomes a scourge for those who refuse to accept it.” The Great Wager Then came the most important words: “You who have Christ in your heart, you for whom the word of Christ is the Truth, you have won the great wager. You have won the great wager between believers and unbelievers. I, the miserable one, lost. I perished. I tremble and sigh, and I cannot find peace. Unfortunately, I am in Hell. There is no repentance there anymore. Woe to those who leave this world as we did. While we were on earth, we allowed our passions to intoxicate us. We joined ourselves to those who did not believe in God or in the life to come. And the world applauded us. It applauded us when we mocked those who believed. The world applauds evil. You can see it in the theatres. The more vulgar and obscene a performance becomes, the more applause it receives. And when performers see that obscenity receives applause, they give the people even more of it. It becomes a vicious circle. If the world stopped rewarding obscenity, obscenity would diminish. But instead, the world applauds it.” When Evil Is Crowned and Goodness Is Mocked He continued: “Look at what happens. Evil is crowned, while goodness is condemned. The world applauds those who live according to their passions and mocks those who believe in God and eternal life. People called us clever. They called you fools. And we accepted that applause. We thought we had won. But now I understand. Our wickedness was not a victory. It was our destruction.” He described how the world can insult Christians with every kind of accusation: “Hypocrites! Religious fanatics! Blasphemers! Fascists! Obscurantists!” And many other names. Yet Christians are called to receive such insults with patience rather than hatred. If those who mock Christianity could see, even for a moment, the reality of the spiritual world from which this man was speaking, they would be terrified. I wish they could be warned. I wish they could change their ways. But I have no permission to return and warn them. It is like the rich man in the Gospel who begged Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his brothers. He was not sent. A Final Warning We will all be judged according to our deeds. Those who live in sin must take seriously the consequences of sin. Those who live in repentance, faith and love place their hope in the mercy of God. These are spiritual flowers from the writings of Fotis Kontoglou, reflections on the immortal values of Orthodox Christian life. This particular passage is deeply moving because it resembles accounts found in the writings of various saints—accounts of visions, of souls experiencing the consequences of their earthly lives, and of the terrible realization that can come after death. My dear friends, those who do not believe may one day be confronted with a reality they did not expect. And then it will be too late to correct what should have been corrected during this earthly life. That is why this message deserves to be taken seriously. Not only by those who believe, but especially by those who mock religion and regard everything spiritual as a joke. It is time to think seriously—very seriously—about God, about Christ, about death, about the soul, and about the life to come. The great wager is not about money. It is about eternity. And every human being is making that wager through the way he chooses to live.

WAR BETWEEN GREECE AND TURKEY — AND THE OUTCOME Prophecies Attributed to Elder Paisios and Saint Cosmas of Aetolia There are numerous prophecies circulating among Orthodox Christians concerning a future conflict involving Greece, Turkey, Russia, Constantinople, and the wider region. Among the most widely repeated are sayings attributed to Saint Paisios the Athonite and Saint Cosmas of Aetolia. These accounts speak of a future period of war in which Turkey would suffer a major defeat, Constantinople would ultimately come under Greek control, and dramatic changes would take place throughout the region. These statements should be understood as traditional or attributed prophetic accounts, rather than as established predictions of future political events. THE TURKS WILL LEAVE — BUT RETURN AGAIN One saying attributed to Saint Cosmas of Aetolia is commonly rendered: “The Turks will leave, but they will return again and come as far as Examilia.” The expression “Examilia” is traditionally understood as referring to approximately six miles into the Aegean. The prophecy is therefore interpreted by some as describing a future Turkish advance into Greek territory or waters, followed by another withdrawal. A FUTURE WAR According to the accounts attributed to Elder Paisios, a future war involving Turkey and Russia would bring enormous consequences for the region. Some versions claim that Turkey would be defeated and would cease to exist in its present form as a state. Other versions speak of the division of the Turkish population into three parts: one part being killed, another part being baptized into Orthodoxy, and another part leaving the region. These details vary considerably between different retellings, and their exact historical source should therefore be treated with caution. CONSTANTINOPLE The most famous element of these traditions concerns Constantinople. According to the commonly circulated prophecy, Russia would become involved in a major war with Turkey, while another power would also participate. Disagreements would eventually arise over Constantinople, and the city would ultimately be given to the Greeks. For Orthodox Christians, Constantinople holds a unique spiritual and historical significance as the ancient center of the Byzantine Christian world. The prophecy is therefore understood by believers not simply as a geopolitical prediction, but within a much broader religious and eschatological tradition. CYPRUS Another claim frequently circulated alongside these prophecies concerns Cyprus: “Cyprus will be free from Turkish forces after the war.” This is particularly significant to Greek Cypriots because the northern part of Cyprus has remained under Turkish military control since the events of 1974. Whether one accepts or rejects the prophetic interpretation, the political question of Cyprus remains an unresolved international issue. ARMENIANS AND KURDS Some versions of these prophetic narratives also claim that the Armenians and Kurds will eventually obtain their own states or territories, and that Turkey will be forced to confront the consequences of past atrocities. These statements are often connected by their proponents to the Armenian Genocide and to the long-standing Kurdish question. Such historical and political claims should be distinguished from the prophetic traditions themselves. “WAKE UP” Those who believe these prophecies are warning of future events often interpret them as a call for Christians to remain spiritually awake rather than complacent. The central message, in this interpretation, is not simply military or political. It is a warning to prepare spiritually for times of upheaval, remembering the words of Christ: “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” — Matthew 24:42 Whether these prophecies will ever correspond to future political events cannot be established in advance. But the sayings attributed to the Elders continue to circulate because they speak to the fears, hopes, and historical memory of Orthodox Christians throughout Greece, Cyprus, Russia, and the wider Orthodox world. THE FUTURE IS IN GOD’S HANDS Geopolitical tensions in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean are real, and history has shown that relations between Greece and Turkey can become extremely serious. But Christians are not called to live in fear. The proper response to warnings about the future is vigilance, prayer, repentance, and faith in God. “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” — Matthew 24:44 KARMA WILL PAY OFF? History is full of suffering, injustice, wars, and the rise and fall of empires. But for the Christian, the final judgment belongs to God. “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” — Romans 12:19 Whatever the future holds for Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Russia, Armenia, or the peoples of the region, Christians should remember that nations rise and fall — but God’s Kingdom remains.

1. ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΔΙΚΟΣ ΜΑΣ ΤΩΡΑ... Αντί για μια απάντηση στην αμφιβολία και την ερώτησή μου, βρέθηκα ξανά στην κόλαση και στον Άδη. Οι δαίμονες έτρεχαν κρατώντας λίστες, δείχνοντας τα αμαρτήματά μου και φωνάζοντας: «Μας υπηρέτησες όταν ήσουν στη γη. Είσαι δικός μας τώρα!...» Άρχισα να διαβάζω τα αμαρτήματά μου και όλες τις πράξεις μου, που ήταν γραμμένες με μεγάλα γράμματα, ανάμεσα σε μεγάλο φόβο. Είδα φωτιά να βγαίνει από το στόμα τους καθώς με χτυπούσαν στο κεφάλι. Σπίθες αναμμένης φωτιάς έπεφταν πάνω μου και κολλάνε, καίγοντάς με. Γύρω μου άκουγα ένα φοβερό μοιρολόι, έναν μεγάλο κεραυνό και τις κραυγές πολλών ανθρώπων. Όταν η φωτιά δυνάμωσε, είδα τα πάντα γύρω μου. Οι ψυχές είχαν τρομακτική όψη. Μερικές ήταν ακρωτηριασμένες με τεντωμένους λαιμούς, και άλλες με πρησμένα μάτια. Μου είπαν: «Είσαι σύντροφός μας, (εννοώντας, προφανώς, τον κομμουνιστικό χαιρετισμό), και είσαι υποχρεωμένος να ζήσεις μαζί μας τώρα...» Όπως κι εσείς, έτσι κι εμείς, όταν ζούσαμε στη γη, δεν αναγνωρίσαμε τον Χριστό, βλασφημήσαμε και καταραστήκαμε, κάναμε κάθε είδος κακού, και ειδικά πορνεία, υπερηφάνεια, και δεν μετανοήσαμε ποτέ. Πολλοί αμάρτησαν, αλλά μετά μετανόησαν και πήγαν στην Εκκλησία, προσευχήθηκαν στον Θεό, έδειξαν έλεος στους φτωχούς και βοήθησαν κάθε άνθρωπο που είχε ανάγκη. Όλοι αυτοί είναι τώρα εκεί πάνω, μακριά από εμάς... (εννοώντας, φυσικά, τον Παράδεισο, τον οποίο δεν ήθελαν να αναφέρουν ούτε ονομαστικά...) Φοβήθηκα όταν άκουσα αυτά τα λόγια, και ειδικά ότι θα ζούσα σε αυτά τα τρομερά μέρη για πάντα... Μετά από αυτά, μέσα σε ένα φως που έδιωξε το σκότος, η Θεοτόκος εμφανίστηκε ξανά. Οι δαίμονες έφυγαν, ενώ οι βασανισμένες ψυχές άρχισαν να παρακαλούν με δυνατές κραυγές για έλεος: «Ουράνια Βασίλισσα, μη μας εγκαταλείπεις, Μητέρα του Θεού, σε παρακαλούμε, καιγόμαστε και δεν υπάρχει ούτε σταγόνα νερό για να ξεδιψάσουμε...» Έκλαψε με συμπόνια μαζί τους, αλλά, μην έχοντας τη δύναμη της λύτρωσης, τους είπε: «Όσο ζούσατε στη γη, δεν Με αναγνωρίσατε, μάλιστα Με βλασφημήσατε. Δεν μετανοήσατε για τις αμαρτίες σας απέναντι στον Υιό Μου και τον Θεό σας, και γι' αυτό δεν μπορώ να σας βοηθήσω τώρα. Αλλά ούτε ο Χριστός μπορεί, γιατί δεν μπορεί να πάει ενάντια στο θέλημα του Πατρός Του!» Εγώ βοηθώ μόνο εκείνους για τους οποίους προσεύχονται οι συγγενείς τους και για τους οποίους προσεύχεται η αγία Εκκλησία. Μετά από αυτά τα λόγια, αρχίσαμε να ανεβαίνουμε, ενώ από κάτω οι φωνές των κολασμένων γίνονταν δυνατότερες: «Μητέρα του Θεού, μη μας αφήνεις...» 2. ENGLISH YOU ARE OURS NOW... But instead of an answer to my doubt and question, I found myself again in hell and in Hades. The demons came running with lists, showing my sins and shouting: “You served us when you were on earth. You are ours now!...” I began to read my sins and all my deeds, which were written in large letters, amid great fear. I saw fire coming out of their mouths as they struck me on the head, Sparks of burning fire fell on me and stuck to me, burning me. Around me I heard a terrible wail, a great thunder, and the cries of many people. When the fire grew stronger, I saw everything around me. The souls had a dreadful appearance. Some were maimed with stretched necks, and others with swollen eyes. They said to me: “You are a comrade of ours, (meaning, apparently, the communist salute), and you are obliged to live with us now...” Just as you, so we, when we lived on earth, did not recognize Christ, we blasphemed and cursed, we did every kind of evil, and especially fornication, pride, and we never repented. Many sinned, but afterwards repented and went to Church, prayed to God, showed mercy to the poor, and helped every person in need. All of them are now up there, far from us... (meaning, of course, the Paradise, which they did not want to mention even by name...) I was afraid when I heard these words, and especially that I would live in these dreadful places for all eternity... After these, within a light that drove away the darkness, the Mother of God appeared again. The demons fled, while the tormented souls began to plead with loud cries for mercy: “Heavenly Queen, do not abandon us, Mother of God, we beg you, we are burning and there is not a drop of water to quench our thirst...” She wept compassionately with them, but, not having the power of redemption, she said to them: “While you lived on earth, you did not recognize Me, indeed you even blasphemed Me. You did not repent for your sins against My Son and your God, and that is why I cannot help you now. But neither can Christ, for He cannot go against the will of His Father!” I help only those for whom their relatives pray, and for whom the holy Church prays. After these words, we began to rise, while from below the voices of the damned grew stronger: “Mother of God, do not leave us...” 3. РУССКИЙ ТЕПЕРЬ ТЫ НАШ... Но вместо ответа на мои сомнения и вопросы, я снова оказался в аду и в преисподней. Демоны прибежали со списками, показывая мои грехи и крича: «Ты служил нам, когда был на земле. Теперь ты наш!...» Я начал читать свои грехи и все свои дела, которые были написаны крупными буквами, в великом страхе. Я видел огонь, выходящий из их ртов, когда они били меня по голове, искры горящего огня падали на меня и жгли. Вокруг себя я слышал ужасный вопль, сильный гром и крики множества людей. Когда огонь усилился, я увидел все вокруг. Души имели ужасный вид. Некоторые были увечными с вытянутыми шеями, другие с опухшими глазами. Они сказали мне: «Ты наш товарищ (имея в виду, судя по всему, коммунистическое приветствие), и ты обязан жить с нами теперь...» Как и ты, так и мы, когда жили на земле, не признавали Христа, богохульствовали, делали всякое зло, особенно блуд и гордыню, и никогда не каялись. Многие грешили, но потом покаялись, ходили в церковь, молились Богу, миловали бедных и помогали каждому нуждающемуся. Все они теперь там, наверху, далеко от нас... (имея в виду, конечно, Рай, который они не хотели даже называть по имени...) Я испугался, услышав эти слова, и особенно того, что буду жить в этих ужасных местах целую вечность... После этого, в свете, прогнавшем тьму, снова явилась Богородица. Демоны бежали, а мучимые души стали громко молить о милосердии: «Царица Небесная, не оставляй нас, Богородица, молим Тебя, мы горим и нет ни капли воды, чтобы утолить нашу жажду...» Она сострадательно плакала с ними, но, не имея власти искупления, сказала им: «Когда вы жили на земле, вы не признавали Меня, вы даже богохульствовали. Вы не покаялись в грехах против Моего Сына и вашего Бога, и поэтому Я не могу помочь вам сейчас. Но и Христос не может, ибо Он не может пойти против воли Своего Отца!» Я помогаю только тем, за кого молятся их родственники и святая Церковь. После этих слов мы начали подниматься, а снизу голоса проклятых становились все сильнее: «Богородица, не оставляй нас...» 4. ESPAÑOL AHORA ERES NUESTRO... Pero en lugar de una respuesta a mi duda y pregunta, me encontré de nuevo en el infierno y en el Hades. Los demonios vinieron corriendo con listas, mostrando mis pecados y gritando: “Nos serviste cuando estabas en la tierra. ¡Ahora eres nuestro!...” Comencé a leer mis pecados y todas mis acciones, que estaban escritas con letras grandes, con gran temor. Vi fuego saliendo de sus bocas mientras me golpeaban en la cabeza, chispas de fuego cayeron sobre mí y se me pegaron, quemándome. A mi alrededor escuché un lamento terrible, un gran trueno y los gritos de muchas personas. Cuando el fuego se hizo más fuerte, vi todo a mi alrededor. Las almas tenían un aspecto espantoso. Algunas estaban mutiladas con cuellos estirados, y otras con ojos hinchados. Me dijeron: “Eres un camarada nuestro (refiriéndose, al parecer, al saludo comunista), y estás obligado a vivir con nosotros ahora...” Al igual que tú, nosotros, cuando vivíamos en la tierra, no reconocimos a Cristo, blasfemamos y maldijimos, hicimos todo tipo de maldad, especialmente fornicación, orgullo, y nunca nos arrepentimos. Muchos pecaron, pero luego se arrepintieron y fueron a la Iglesia, oraron a Dios, mostraron misericordia a los pobres y ayudaron a todos los necesitados. Todos ellos están ahora allá arriba, lejos de nosotros... (refiriéndose, por supuesto, al Paraíso, que ni siquiera querían mencionar por su nombre...) Tenía miedo cuando escuché estas palabras, especialmente de vivir en estos lugares espantosos por toda la eternidad... Después de esto, dentro de una luz que expulsó la oscuridad, la Madre de Dios apareció de nuevo. Los demonios huyeron, mientras las almas atormentadas comenzaron a suplicar con fuertes gritos por misericordia: “Reina del Cielo, no nos abandones, Madre de Dios, te rogamos, estamos ardiendo y no hay ni una gota de agua para calmar nuestra sed...” Lloró compasivamente con ellos, pero, no teniendo el poder de redención, les dijo: “Mientras vivían en la tierra, no me reconocieron, incluso me blasfemaron. No se arrepintieron de sus pecados contra mi Hijo y su Dios, y es por eso que no puedo ayudarlos ahora. ¡Pero tampoco puede Cristo, porque no puede ir en contra de la voluntad de su Padre!” Solo ayudo a aquellos por quienes sus parientes oran, y por quienes la santa Iglesia ora. Después de estas palabras, comenzamos a subir, mientras que desde abajo las voces de los condenados se hacían más fuertes: “Madre de Dios, no nos dejes...”

Ορίστε η μετάφραση και η διαμόρφωση του κειμένου στα αγγλικά, από την οπτική γωνία του Αγίου Παϊσίου (Saint Paisios): "The Turks will be destroyed, and Constantinople will be given back to Greece." * "The Turks will be broken into three or four parts. The countdown has already begun. They will be destroyed because they were created without God's blessing." * "Constantinople will be given back to us. Not because the foreigners want to, but because God will arrange it so that their own interests force them to hand the City over to Greece." * "A war will break out between Russia and Turkey. At first, the Turks will think they are winning, but that will be their ruin. The Russians will defeat them, and Constantinople will end up in Greek hands." * "Do not worry, my children. God loves Greece and He will not abandon her. You will live to see these events happen." — Saint Paisios of Mount Athos

Patristic Wisdom: Do Not Trust Every Vision The ancient Christian Fathers repeatedly warned believers not to accept every extraordinary vision, dream, voice, or spiritual experience simply because it appears impressive or even benevolent. St. Peter of Damascus emphasizes the danger of spiritual deception and reminds us that the enemy can present thoughts that appear righteous to those who lack experience and discernment. This is a profoundly important principle when considering modern accounts of mysterious beings, supernatural encounters, visions, or alleged extraterrestrial communications. The appearance of something does not, by itself, prove its origin. A person may see a figure that appears beautiful, peaceful, intelligent, or even “angelic.” That still does not establish that the being is from God. Nor does a message become true simply because it produces powerful emotions or appears to contain wisdom. The Fathers instead point toward humility, patience, prayer, and spiritual discernment. In the tradition of the Church, there is even a warning against actively seeking extraordinary visions. The desire to experience supernatural phenomena can itself become a spiritual danger, because a person may become fascinated by the experience rather than seeking God. This gives us an important question to ask about every extraordinary claim: Where does this experience lead? Does it lead a person toward Christ, humility, repentance, prayer, truth, and love? Or does it lead toward fascination with hidden knowledge, pride, fear, confusion, self-importance, or teachings that contradict the Christian faith? The Fathers’ answer is essentially: do not be impressed merely because something appears supernatural. Test it. Remain humble. Do not rush to accept what you cannot understand. And perhaps this is especially relevant in an age saturated with images. We live surrounded by movies, books, science fiction, television, the internet, artificial imagery, and thousands of representations of angels, demons, aliens, spacecraft, and other worlds. These images can become deeply embedded in our imagination. Therefore, when someone experiences something unexplained, we should distinguish carefully between the experience itself and the interpretation placed upon it. What was actually experienced? What did the person subsequently conclude that it was? And how much of that interpretation may have been shaped by ideas already present in the person’s mind? For the Christian, there is an even more fundamental question: Does the message confess the truth of Christ, or does it draw the person away from Him? Extraordinary experiences require extraordinary discernment. As the Patristic tradition repeatedly teaches, humility is safer than curiosity, patience is safer than haste, and the simple prayer “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me” is safer than becoming fascinated with unknown spiritual phenomena. Not everything mysterious is divine. Not everything beautiful is holy. And not everything that appears to bring “light” should immediately be accepted as coming from God.

What About Our Imagination? What about our imagination? I have noticed that we often treat certain images and visions as though they were photographs — as if what a person sees must necessarily correspond exactly to an objective reality. But is that really the case? If we look at how human beings’ ability to imagine, depict, and visually represent things has changed throughout history, we should ask an important question: How do we know that what we see today is exactly what people in the past saw? And how do we know that we are not sometimes interpreting an image through things that have already been deeply imprinted on our minds — through the media, movies, books, paintings, religious imagery, science-fiction stories, and popular culture? A person may see something mysterious and genuinely believe that the experience was real. But the interpretation of that experience may still be influenced by everything that person has previously seen and learned. This is especially important when discussing alleged encounters with extraterrestrial beings. One striking observation is that these supposed beings never confirm the divinity of Christ, nor do they claim to come in His name. Instead, the stories attributed to them often change according to the knowledge and expectations of the people encountering them. Consider the claims made about where these beings supposedly come from. In earlier periods, when human knowledge of the planets and the universe was far more limited, alleged entities could supposedly claim to come from planets within our own solar system. But as astronomy advanced and humanity learned more about those worlds, many of those explanations became impossible or implausible. The stories then evolved: the beings were said to come from distant solar systems, other galaxies, or places such as Andromeda. This raises a serious question: Are we actually receiving information from an external intelligence — or are we sometimes interpreting unexplained experiences through whatever ideas are already available in our minds? From an Orthodox Christian perspective, there is another question that should not be ignored: What is the spiritual source of the experience, and where does it ultimately lead the person? Not every extraordinary vision should automatically be accepted as divine revelation. Christianity has always warned about spiritual deception and about trusting every supernatural-looking experience without discernment. The appearance of something mysterious is not, by itself, proof of its origin. We should therefore remain cautious, examine the evidence, and — above all — remember that not everything that appears supernatural is necessarily from God.

Μια προφητική παράδοση που προκαλεί συζητήσεις μέχρι σήμερα…» ⸻ 🇬🇷 ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ✝️ Η προφητική παράδοση που αποδίδεται στον Άγιο Παΐσιο Η εικόνα αυτή απεικονίζει μια ευρέως διαδεδομένη εσχατολογική προφητική παράδοση που αποδίδεται στον Άγιο Παΐσιο τον Αγιορείτη, έναν από τους πλέον σεβαστούς σύγχρονους Ορθόδοξους ασκητές, ο οποίος εκοιμήθη το 1994. Σύμφωνα με κείμενα και προφορικές μαρτυρίες που αποδίδονται στον Άγιο Παΐσιο, μια μελλοντική μεγάλη πολεμική σύγκρουση θα μπορούσε, σύμφωνα με την παράδοση, να οδηγήσει σε σοβαρές ανατροπές στην Τουρκία και σε διαίρεσή της σε τρία ή τέσσερα τμήματα. 1️⃣ Κωνσταντινούπολη και Στενά 🇬🇷 Στην παραδοσιακή αφήγηση αναφέρεται ότι η Κωνσταντινούπολη θα αποσπαστεί από την Τουρκία και θα αποδοθεί στην Ελλάδα από τις μεγάλες δυνάμεις. Η ίδια παράδοση συνδέει το γεγονός με την Αγία Σοφία και την επαναλειτουργία της ως Ορθόδοξου ναού. 2️⃣ Κουρδιστάν Η ανατολική περιοχή παρουσιάζεται ως περιοχή που θα αποσχιστεί και θα αποτελέσει ανεξάρτητο κουρδικό κράτος. 3️⃣ Αρμενία 🇦🇲 Η ίδια προφητική παράδοση αναφέρεται σε επιστροφή ιστορικών αρμενικών εδαφών. 4️⃣ Το υπόλοιπο τουρκικό κράτος Στο κέντρο του χάρτη παραμένει η εσωτερική Ανατολία. Σύμφωνα με την ευρέως κυκλοφορούσα εκδοχή της αφήγησης, ένα τρίτο του τουρκικού πληθυσμού θα παραμείνει ή θα υποχωρήσει εκεί, ένα τρίτο θα χαθεί στον πόλεμο και το τελευταίο τρίτο θα στραφεί προς τον Χριστιανισμό. 🗺️ Η ιστορική παράλληλος με τις Σέβρες Ο χάρτης παρουσιάζει αξιοσημείωτες ομοιότητες με τη Συνθήκη των Σεβρών του 1920. Μετά τον Α΄ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, η Συνθήκη των Σεβρών προέβλεπε σημαντικές εδαφικές αλλαγές στην πρώην Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία, μεταξύ άλλων ρυθμίσεις που αφορούσαν την Ελλάδα, την Αρμενία και τους Κούρδους. Ωστόσο, οι σχετικές προβλέψεις για την Ανατολία δεν εφαρμόστηκαν όπως είχαν αρχικά σχεδιαστεί. Μετά την επικράτηση του τουρκικού εθνικού κινήματος, η Συνθήκη των Σεβρών αντικαταστάθηκε από τη Συνθήκη της Λωζάννης του 1923. ⚠️ Σημαντική σημείωση Το παρόν κείμενο παρουσιάζει μια προφητική παράδοση που αποδίδεται στον Άγιο Παΐσιο. Οι αναφορές στα μελλοντικά γεγονότα δεν αποτελούν ιστορικά επαληθευμένες προβλέψεις και δεν μπορούν να παρουσιαστούν ως βεβαιότητα για το μέλλον. ⸻ 🇷🇺 РУССКИЙ ✝️ Пророческое предание, приписываемое святому Паисию Святогорцу На этой карте изображено широко распространённое эсхатологическое предание, которое приписывается святому Паисию Святогорцу — одному из наиболее почитаемых современных православных монахов, преставившемуся в 1994 году. Согласно распространённым текстам и устным свидетельствам, приписываемым святому Паисию, будущий крупный военный конфликт, согласно этому преданию, может привести к серьёзным изменениям на территории Турции и её разделу на три или четыре части. 1️⃣ Константинополь и проливы 🇬🇷 В традиционном изложении говорится, что Константинополь будет отделён от Турции и передан Греции великими державами. С этим также связывается возвращение Святой Софии к православному богослужению. 2️⃣ Курдистан Восточная часть территории представлена как будущая территория независимого Курдистана. 3️⃣ Армения 🇦🇲 Предание также говорит о возвращении Армении некоторых исторических территорий. 4️⃣ Оставшаяся территория Турции Центральная часть карты представляет оставшееся турецкое государство в глубине Анатолии. В широко распространённой версии предания говорится, что одна треть турецкого населения отступит во внутренние районы, одна треть погибнет в войне, а ещё одна треть примет христианство. 🗺️ Историческая параллель с Севрским договором Карта напоминает территориальные планы, связанные с Севрским договором 1920 года. После Первой мировой войны Севрский договор предусматривал значительные изменения территориального устройства бывшей Османской империи, включая положения, связанные с Грецией, Арменией и курдскими территориями. Однако эти положения в отношении Анатолии не были реализованы в первоначальном виде. После победы турецкого национального движения Севрский договор был заменён Лозаннским договором 1923 года. ⚠️ Важное примечание Данная публикация представляет пророческое предание, приписываемое святому Паисию.

Aziz Paisios’a atfedilen çeşitli metin ve sözlü anlatımlara göre, gelecekte yaşanacağı ileri sürülen büyük bir savaşın ardından Türkiye’de büyük değişiklikler meydana gelebileceği ve ülkenin üç veya dört parçaya ayrılabileceği iddia edilmektedir. 1️⃣ İstanbul ve Boğazlar 🇬🇷 Geleneksel anlatıda İstanbul’un Türkiye’den ayrılarak büyük güçler tarafından Yunanistan’a bırakılacağı ve Ayasofya’nın yeniden Ortodoks ibadetine açılacağı ileri sürülmektedir. 2️⃣ Kürdistan Doğu bölgesinin ayrılarak bağımsız bir Kürt devletine dönüşeceği öne sürülmektedir. 3️⃣ Ermenistan 🇦🇲 Aynı kehanet geleneğinde bazı tarihî toprakların Ermenistan’a geri verileceği iddia edilmektedir. 4️⃣ Türkiye’nin geri kalan bölümü Haritanın merkezindeki bölge, Anadolu’nun iç kesimlerindeki geriye kalan Türk devletini temsil etmektedir. Kehanetin yaygın olarak aktarılan versiyonunda Türk nüfusunun üçte birinin iç bölgelere çekileceği, üçte birinin savaşta hayatını kaybedeceği ve son üçte birinin ise Hristiyanlığı kabul edeceği ileri sürülmektedir. 🗺️ Sevr Antlaşması ile tarihî paralellik Harita, 1920 Sevr Antlaşması ile dikkat çekici coğrafi benzerlikler taşımaktadır. Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın ardından imzalanan Sevr Antlaşması, eski Osmanlı topraklarında önemli değişiklikler öngörüyordu. Bunlar arasında Yunanistan, Ermenistan ve Kürt bölgeleriyle ilgili düzenlemeler de bulunuyordu. Ancak Anadolu’ya ilişkin bu düzenlemeler başlangıçta öngörüldüğü şekilde uygulanmadı. Türk Millî Mücadelesi’nin zaferinden sonra Sevr Antlaşması’nın yerini 1923 Lozan Antlaşması aldı. ⚠️ Önemli not Bu yayın, Aziz Paisios’a atfedilen bir kehanet geleneğini aktarmaktadır.

σενάριο και όχι πρόβλεψη ή βεβαιότητα. Μια νέα τουρκική ηγεσία θα μπορούσε να επιδιώξει διαφορετική σχέση με την Ελλάδα, την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση και τη Δύση. Μια περίοδος πολιτικής μετάβασης θα μπορούσε επίσης να δημιουργήσει νέες εντάσεις, αλλά και νέες ευκαιρίες για διάλογο. Το Αιγαίο θα παρέμενε ένα από τα σημαντικότερα στρατηγικά σημεία της περιοχής. Οι θαλάσσιες ζώνες, η ασφάλεια, οι ενεργειακοί πόροι και οι θαλάσσιες οδοί θα εξακολουθούσαν να αποτελούν αντικείμενα διαπραγμάτευσης και αντιπαράθεσης. Και μέσα σε ένα τέτοιο υποθετικό σενάριο γεννιέται ένα ακόμη πιο δραματικό ερώτημα: Θα μπορούσε ποτέ να υπάρξει μια νέα συμφωνία για την Κωνσταντινούπολη και τα Στενά του Βοσπόρου; Μια τέτοια εξέλιξη θα ήταν εξαιρετικά ριζική και δεν αποτελεί σήμερα δεδομένη πολιτική πραγματικότητα. Η Κωνσταντινούπολη και τα Στενά έχουν τεράστια ιστορική, στρατηγική και διεθνή σημασία. Ωστόσο, η ιστορία έχει δείξει ότι οι γεωπολιτικές ισορροπίες μπορούν να αλλάξουν δραματικά μέσα στις δεκαετίες. Υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που υποστηρίζουν ότι σε ένα μελλοντικό σενάριο θα μπορούσε να υπάρξει κάποια μορφή διεθνούς διευθέτησης που θα άλλαζε τις σημερινές ισορροπίες. Άλλοι θεωρούν ένα τέτοιο ενδεχόμενο εξαιρετικά απίθανο. Το βέβαιο είναι ότι οποιαδήποτε τέτοια αλλαγή θα απαιτούσε τεράστιες διεθνείς συμφωνίες και θα επηρέαζε ολόκληρη την περιοχή. ☦️ Η ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑ ΜΕΣΑ ΣΤΗΝ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑ Για εκατομμύρια ανθρώπους, η Κωνσταντινούπολη δεν είναι απλώς μια πόλη πάνω στον χάρτη. Είναι η Νέα Ρώμη, η πόλη της Αγίας Σοφίας, του Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου και μιας ιστορίας που συνδέεται βαθιά με τον ελληνικό και ορθόδοξο πολιτισμό. Η πίστη, όμως, δεν μπορεί να μετατραπεί σε πολιτικό πρόγραμμα. Η Ορθοδοξία καλεί τον άνθρωπο σε μετάνοια, ειρήνη, αγάπη και εμπιστοσύνη στον Θεό. Και γι’ αυτό, ανεξάρτητα από το τι θα συμβεί στο μέλλον, το μήνυμα παραμένει: Όχι άλλο αίμα. Όχι άλλος πόλεμος. Όχι άλλο μίσος μεταξύ των λαών. Η ιστορία μπορεί να αλλάξει με τρόπους που σήμερα κανείς δεν μπορεί να γνωρίζει. Οι λαοί όμως έχουν πάντοτε την επιλογή να επιδιώξουν την ειρήνη. ☦️ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑ – ΠΙΣΤΗ – ΠΑΤΡΙΔΑ ⸻ 🇬🇧 ENGLISH What could happen in the region if, at some point in the future, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan left power and Turkey entered a new political era? The following is a hypothetical geopolitical scenario, not a prediction or a statement of certainty. A new Turkish leadership could seek a different relationship with Greece, the European Union and the West. A period of political transition could also create new tensions, but potentially new opportunities for dialogue. The Aegean would remain one of the most strategically important areas in the region. Maritime zones, security, energy resources and important sea routes would continue to be subjects of negotiation and disagreement. And within such a hypothetical scenario, an even more dramatic question arises: Could there ever be a new agreement concerning Constantinople and the Bosporus Straits? Such a development would be extraordinarily radical and is not a present-day political reality. Constantinople and the Straits have enormous historical, strategic and international significance. Nevertheless, history has repeatedly shown that geopolitical balances can change dramatically over the course of decades. Some people argue that, in a future scenario, some form of international settlement could potentially alter the existing balance. Others consider such a possibility extremely unlikely. What is certain is that any such development would require enormous international agreements .

🇬🇧 Turkey and Constantinople — A Prophetic Tradition According to a prophetic tradition circulated in certain ecclesiastical and spiritual circles, Turkey will eventually face a great trial and undergo a period of dissolution and territorial division. The tradition is said to contain the following words: “Turkey will be dissolved. It will be divided into three or four parts. One third of the Turks will perish in the war. One third will become Christians, because they will come to know Christ. The remaining third will move deep into Asia. Constantinople will be given to Greece, not because we will conquer it, but because Divine Providence will arrange it in this way. The great powers will clash, and Turkey will pay a heavy price for its position.

Here is the English translation of the text in the image: "I saw what goes on in Hades... No one should go there, not even for a second... I saw fellow villagers of mine... I didn't reveal to anyone who I saw... Afterwards, I lit candles, I said prayers. The poor souls started jumping for joy. The heretics are there. The sorcerers, the witches! If only they knew what awaits them! It would have been better if they had never been born... The impious clergy... Oh, those wretches... The blasphemers, the criminals, those defiled in body, the dishonorable (adulterers), fornicators, and above all, the homosexuals! Unbearable torments! Now married people do these things too... Horror! Horror!" — Eldress Galaktia

And a great day will come, when the earth will shake to its foundations. Athens will shake like a reed in the wind; houses will fall, roads will tear like cloth, and the voice of the state will fall silent behind ruins and panic. And while people will be looking for water, medicine, and hope, smoke will rise from the East. With the thought that "now is the time", they will come — not with swords, but with lies and maps. And the waters of the Aegean will no longer be calm. Yet from the ashes, they say, the voice of the people will rise again; and just where it seemed that everything was over, something that no one expected will begin

"Look. As it has been said, the sin of the world, especially of the rulers, at this level gives and grants rights to the earth. Did you hear that? The earth gains rights. It is a living organism. We come from dust (soil). I don't know how many trillions, millions of cells are synchronized inside our body, in every human body. So, we are a living organism, just as soil is a living organism. When—as we have seen many times—sin pollutes the earth, and what is sin? The violation of God's law. It suffers. Volcanoes begin to erupt. Earthquakes occur. So, I am telling you right now that the earth has received rights from above, from the Holy Spirit, from the Paraclete. And these rights that it has taken will appear at some point. How will they appear? With a major earthquake, a volcanic eruption, the facts will change. Imagine an earthquake happening at the San Andreas Fault and being an 8 or 9 Richter. The facts change, and the sea reaches 200 meters from Elder Ephraim's monastery in Arizona. Do the facts change in America? Of course they change. Everything will change because California will sink. California right now is the backbone of the current economy in America. The state of California practically holds almost all the other states. If it sinks, America sinks with it. Then we also have the supervolcano. Let's not forget, we have the huge volcano in America which, if it erupts, all of North America will disappear. So, we must take into account and understand that sooner or later, the earth will react. It took its rights from the Paraclete. Now everything is open—whether for the big earthquake, or if it happens here. However, here you should know the following: Greece will not suffer many things. It will be injured... It will be injured because Greece does not differ in sin from other countries; it is the same or even worse. However, the intercessions and prayers of our Saints right now are protecting it. And the Virgin Mary will protect it—she has cast her veil over it—because she believes in the Greeks. And she believes in the Greeks not for wealth. We will not go to the City—we also write this in the newspaper that comes out on Saturday—we will not go to the Queen City (Constantinople) which we are close to. We are on our way towards the Queen City, the city of our dreams, Constantinople, our main capital..."

What I am going to tell you concerns a prediction about the future, according to people who claim to have seen or predicted these events. This is not my own prediction, nor am I claiming that these events will actually happen. According to this view, when Turkey is destroyed during the Third World War, the Cyprus problem will also be resolved. It is also claimed that the people on the other side of Cyprus will then ask for a piece of the island so that they can function and organize their lives. My personal opinion is that, if we actually reach such a situation, we should give them a piece of land, because I believe there would be no other way and that a solution must be found that will allow all the people of Cyprus to live in safety and peace.

Fidel Castro is seen here looking upward, like Jesus, while pointing downward, referring to the god of the Freemasons. The word “Lucifer” means “Light-Bearer” or “Bearer of Light.” According to this view, Freemasons are described as the “children of light” or, in reality, the “children of the devil.” According to this claim, only five percent of Freemasons know that the organization is connected with the devil. Their goal is to deliver all of humanity to the devil. After that, their supreme leader will get rid of all of you fools because you will no longer be needed. Freemasons believe in an impersonal God called the “Great Architect of the Universe.” Jesus Christ, the Son and Word of God, the Lord and Savior, is regarded by them as merely an initiated teacher, like Pythagoras, Buddha, and others. A Freemason is not required to change his religion. A Christian may remain a Christian, and a Muslim may remain a Muslim, while also maintaining Masonic membership. The question is: Can a Christian also be a Freemason?

We welcome Father Damaskinos from Cyprus. He is a monk and a missionary in Africa. Father, we welcome you, and we would like to hear some of your experiences from Africa. Thank you. First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to be here in Cyprus, the land of holy people. As far as magic is concerned, the situation among the people there is catastrophic. There is no love between people. One time, I asked someone who was carrying a small wooden figure: “Why do you have this with you?” He answered me: “With this, I protect myself and my family from the magic of other people.” He placed all his faith in this small wooden figure. When we baptize people there, we explain to them that they must remove these magical objects from themselves. One person was not convinced to take it off. No matter how much we tried to put him in the water to baptize him, he was unable to enter. An invisible demonic force was pushing him away. Eventually, he was baptized, but he had not truly accepted the faith. When he was in church to receive Holy Communion, he fell down and had convulsions, like an epileptic seizure. We explained to him the reasons why this happened, but he did not want to listen, and he died without confessing the truth. One day, I was with a priest there, and we saw a naked girl. The priest said to me: “This girl is a magician. She came from another village far away.” I asked: “How did she come here from such a distance?” The priest answered: “You do not know. She came flying through the air.” According to what was believed there, in order to succeed in magic, she had taken a small child, torn out the heart, and drunk the blood. In this way, they believed that demons held magicians in the air and allowed them to fly. Another time, Father James was in Africa and asked a magician: “How do you harm people?” The magician said: “Look, I touch them and I cause them problems.” Father James replied: “Do the same to me.” The magician answered: “I cannot touch you. You, the Orthodox priest, are full of fire.” Another time, a man believed to be possessed by a demon went to a Catholic priest to ask him to cast the demon out of him. According to the story, the demon inside the man said to the Catholic priest: “You are a Capuchin. Do you think I can hear you?” The speaker then says that, according to his belief, Catholics do not have divine grace. Now I will tell you another story. Three former magicians went and were baptized without confessing their sins first. According to the story, the demons said to them: “We do not care what you have done, but do not mention it to Father Meletios.” Before being baptized, these three men had killed a woman and her two children. Someone witnessed this, found others, and they went to kill this former magician. The former magician then made a deal with the demons, saying: “If someone kills me, I want you to reveal to my family who my killers are.” They took him to bury him. According to the story, an invisible force did not allow the coffin to be buried. The coffin pulled the men who were carrying it in another direction, leading them to the house of the people who had killed the former magician, in order to reveal who the murderers were. At the funeral, everyone was frightened. They did not know what to do. The dead man appeared to begin breathing inside the coffin, and his son started speaking to him, believing that his father was alive, although he was not. After the murderers were revealed and everyone became afraid, his son came to me asking for help. I brought another priest with me to bury him. Everyone who was there was very frightened. After they saw what we did, how we prayed according to the Orthodox tradition, and how we prayed for the repose of the man’s soul and buried him, they believed that we had greater spiritual power than

Abdul Hamid gave the order for the tomb of Mehmed the Conqueror, which was located next to the mosque, to be opened in order to check for any damage and make repairs. The tomb was opened, and at a depth of three meters, an iron trapdoor was found. From there, a stone staircase led down into the underground chamber of a Byzantine church. There, to their astonishment, the workers found a marble tomb containing the embalmed body of Mehmed—identical to the portrait painted by the Italian artist a few months before his death. This fact—that Mehmed was buried within the ruins of a Byzantine church—has been considered by many as strong evidence that he wished to be buried as a Christian and Byzantine emperor, among the other Byzantine rulers. It is known that Mehmed often claimed to be the successor of the Byzantine emperors. Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who, for political reasons at the time, had abandoned a certain Islamic sect he had followed and had adopted Sunni Islam, was seized with panic and ordered the tomb to be immediately sealed. These events took place before 1908, and since then, the tomb has never been opened again. For this reason, it is difficult today to verify the testimony. However, on December 19, 1996, a Turkish weekly publication associated with the well-known newspaper Sabah was released with the striking headline: “The Conqueror was a Christian.” The subtitle read: “Historians have not been able to solve this mystery to this day.” Many centuries after the death of the great Fatih—Mehmed the Conqueror, as he is historically known—it is also known that he had a Christian mother, most likely of Greek origin. The fact that in modern Turkey—where Islamic identity is strongly re-emerging—such reports are published is seen by some as evidence of doubt about Mehmed’s true religious identity, even within the official Turkish establishment. This becomes even more significant when we consider that Fatih Mehmed is one of the greatest taboos of Turkish history, nationalism, and identity. A leader like him was expected to embody not only national pride but also religious identity. And yet, inside his tomb, it is claimed, lies one of the greatest secrets of the Ottoman Empire. There were testimonies stating that next to the tomb there was a cross and an icon of the Virgin Mary. According to these claims, Mehmed the Conqueror may have embraced Christianity at the end of his life—something carefully concealed by official Turkish historiography. From his early childhood, he had contact with Christianity through his Christian mother. It is one of the great historical mysteries how a relatively small number of Seljuk Turks and Ottomans who arrived in Asia Minor between the 9th and 10th centuries managed, within a few centuries, to change the entire ethnic and religious character of a region inhabited by millions—many say up to 20 million—Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians. There are many explanations. Some say it was forced Islamization through violence, while others say it occurred for practical and economic reasons. However, because this process of religious conversion was often incomplete and superficial, a unique characteristic remained within Turkish Islam—one that some consider a heterodox element. Today, this is being increasingly discussed by Turkish journalists and researchers under the term “the religious problem of modern Turkey.” On November 10, 2002, a Turkish newspaper reported that the feast of Saint Nektarios was celebrated inside a Muslim mosque—formerly a Christian church—in Eastern Thrace. Many Turkish Muslims stayed after their prayers to observe the Christian service with great reverence. Similarly, there are reports of Turkish Muslims attending Christian ceremonies, lighting candles, kissing priests’ hands, and seeking blessings from the Virgin Mary. In some cases, even Muslims from other countries, such as Iran and Iraq, visit Orthodox churches in Istanbul, seeking hope, healing, and help for their personal struggles. Some Turkish women have even been reported diving into the water during the Epiphany ceremony to catch the cross—an act deeply rooted in Orthodox Christian tradition. Other reports mention Muslims visiting churches regularly, praying, lighting candles, and asking for miracles. Turkish newspapers have even described certain churches as “places of hope” for Muslims. In recent years, there has also been an increase in conversions to Christianity in Turkey, often among people who later discover they have Christian ancestry. Investigations revealed that many of these individuals had ancestors who were Islamized, especially after the Asia Minor catastrophe, and later rediscovered their Christian roots. There are also remarkable accounts of healing sites, such as sacred springs associated with early Christianity, where both Turks and foreigners visit for healing. In some places, visitors light candles, burn incense, and perform acts that are officially forbidden in Islam. Despite this, such practices continue and are even broadcast on Turkish television. One striking example is the pilgrimage to Saint George on the island of Büyükada, where tens of thousands of Muslim Turks visit the church, light candles, make vows, and seek blessings. Some even walk barefoot up the hill to the church, tying threads along the path as part of a ritual for their wishes. Priests are seen blessing Muslim visitors, sometimes even making the sign of the cross on their foreheads. Finally, there was a mysterious event reported in 1998 on the island of Antigoni, where a strange, sorrowful sound—like a sigh—was heard every night around a church. Residents were alarmed and unable to explain it. Some interpreted it as a supernatural sign, even suggesting it was a message from the Virgin Mary—a lament for the state of the world and the abandonment of faith. The church, once full of Orthodox believers, now stands nearly empty. And this sorrowful “voice” was seen by some as a symbol of that loss.

🇬🇧 ENGLISH TEXT THE EMBRYOS ARE ALIVE? IT’S PROOFED. Some people went to FATHER PAISIOS and told him that a nun in Cyprus said to light candles for the unborn babies that their mothers kill. Father Paisios said: “She is crazy! There are no unborn babies in heaven, THE EMBRYOS ARE LOST!” During the night he saw a dream… While he was walking he heard voices of small babies, a lot of voices, and the place was shaken. Above them there was sand with candles, and under the candles you could hear babies’ voices. And they were shouting: “SAVE US, GOD, MY GOD SAVE US!” Father Paisios then asked another monk who was close to him: “Who are these that are shouting-screaming?” He was told: “These are the unborn innocent babies that mothers and doctors, without their will, have lost. Because they are unbaptized, they go to a place where the devils are not allowed to tempt them, because they are innocent. But it is dark, it is not paradise, it is darkness.” When Father Paisios woke up he told the people: “There ARE embryos and there IS a soul. Yes, you must light candles for the EMBRYOS. Because there is a soul.” ⸻ LET’S UNDERSTAND: A man approaches a woman and fertilization is done. The sperm of the man is alive — if it was dead, it would not fertilize. So it is alive. From the moment of fertilization the baby receives a soul. Fertilization = living soul + living body. The soul is the breath of God. It is a living being. So there must be respect for the EMBRYOS. ⸻ 🇬🇷 ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΤΑ ΕΜΒΡΥΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΖΩΝΤΑΝΑ; ΕΧΕΙ ΑΠΟΔΕΙΧΘΕΙ. Κάποιοι πήγαν στον ΑΓΙΟ ΠΑΪΣΙΟ και του είπαν ότι μια μοναχή στην Κύπρο είπε να ανάβουν κεριά για τα αγέννητα μωρά που σκοτώνουν οι μητέρες τους. Ο Άγιος Παΐσιος είπε: «Είναι τρελή! Δεν υπάρχουν αγέννητα παιδιά στον παράδεισο, ΤΑ ΕΜΒΡΥΑ ΕΧΟΥΝ ΧΑΘΕΙ!» Τη νύχτα είδε ένα όνειρο… Καθώς περπατούσε άκουγε φωνές μικρών μωρών, πολλές φωνές, και ο τόπος σειόταν. Πάνω τους υπήρχε άμμος με κεριά και κάτω από τα κεριά ακούγονταν οι φωνές των μωρών. Και φώναζαν: «ΣΩΣΕ ΜΑΣ ΘΕΕ, ΘΕΕ ΜΟΥ ΣΩΣΕ ΜΑΣ!» Ο Άγιος Παΐσιος ρώτησε έναν άλλο μοναχό που ήταν κοντά του: «Ποιοι είναι αυτοί που φωνάζουν;» Του απάντησαν: «Είναι τα αγέννητα αθώα παιδιά που οι μητέρες και οι γιατροί, χωρίς να το θέλουν, τα χάνουν. Επειδή είναι αβάπτιστα πηγαίνουν σε έναν τόπο όπου οι δαίμονες δεν μπορούν να τα πειράξουν, γιατί είναι αθώα. Αλλά είναι σκοτάδι, δεν είναι παράδεισος.» Όταν ο Άγιος Παΐσιος ξύπνησε είπε στους ανθρώπους: «Υπάρχουν έμβρυα και υπάρχει ψυχή. Ναι, πρέπει να ανάβετε κεριά για τα ΕΜΒΡΥΑ. Γιατί υπάρχει ψυχή.» ⸻ Ας καταλάβουμε: Ένας άντρας πλησιάζει μια γυναίκα και γίνεται η γονιμοποίηση. Το σπέρμα είναι ζωντανό — αν ήταν νεκρό δεν θα γινόταν γονιμοποίηση. Άρα είναι ζωντανό. Από τη στιγμή της γονιμοποίησης το μωρό λαμβάνει ψυχή. Γονιμοποίηση = ζωντανή ψυχή + ζωντανό σώμα. Η ψυχή είναι η πνοή του Θεού. Είναι ζωντανό ον. Άρα πρέπει να υπάρχει σεβασμός στα ΕΜΒΡΥΑ.

Δεν λέω ότι ξέρεις ήδη την απάντηση. Αλλά αν δεν υπάρχει Θεός, τότε μένουν κάποια ερωτήματα που πρέπει να σταθούν μόνα τους. Πώς προέκυψε ένα σύμπαν με νόμους που δεν αλλάζουν; Γιατί η ύλη υπακούει σε μαθηματική τάξη; Πώς από απλή ύλη εμφανίζεται συνείδηση — η εμπειρία του “εγώ”; Και γιατί ο άνθρωπος δεν ψάχνει μόνο το “πώς”, αλλά και το “γιατί”; Δεν λέω ότι η απάντηση είναι εύκολη. Λέω όμως ότι η ερώτηση δεν εξαφανίζεται. Και ίσως τελικά, το ζήτημα δεν είναι ποιος “πιστεύει”. Αλλά ποιος αντέχει να δει ότι δεν έχουν εξηγηθεί όλα. — I’m not saying you already have the answer. But if there is no God, then some questions still remain. How did a universe governed by consistent laws come into existence? Why does matter follow mathematical order? How does mere matter give rise to consciousness — the experience of “I”? And why does human thought search not only for “how”, but for “why”? I’m not claiming the answer is easy. I’m saying the question doesn’t go away. And maybe the issue is not who “believes”. But who is willing to admit that not everything is explained.

When you die, my child, many will fight against the priests. And the high priests will not allow any priest to speak on his own—only what they tell him. The high priests will begin writing the sermons, and the priests will simply have to read them. In that time, they will even remove the cross from the sanctuaries. When you see these things, know that the great evil has begun. Priests will no longer be free to speak easily. That is why I will give my spirit to simple children, to boys and girls. After your death, many will want to learn what you said, and the evil one will begin to distort your words in order to bring confusion into people’s minds. Sadly, because our Church is poor, it is controlled by foreign money, and behind it stands the Vatican. That is why, it is said, all the church leaders have been given a noose. God says they have been given a noose and are being pulled like dogs. Soon there will be a new and great evil in the Church, unlike anything before, and the whole Church will be shaken as if by a massive earthquake. It will not be a normal earthquake, but something far greater. At that time, all people, all Christians, will not know where to go or what to do. But remember what Christ says: in My name you were baptized as Christians; in My name you became priests. I will be your true Father of the Church. And remember that the Church is not the buildings that are constructed but your hearts. Time will pass, and people will come to understand who truly governs the world. Then they will see how harsh and evil the Antichrist is. If they do not make the sign of the cross, how will I bless them and remove the poisons placed in their bodies? When they do not have holy water, they will take ordinary water. They will not say “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” yet I will bless that water, and when they drink it, their bodies will be blessed, and their minds will be cleansed.

Every Thursday and Friday—except, as I told you, for the 40 days after Epiphany—it cannot be performed on September 14th, which is the Feast of the Holy Cross. People would very often ask you to destroy others, especially in matters of inheritance involving large fortunes. Unfortunately, as I remember, during the periods of Holy Thursday and Holy Friday—when major magical rituals take place—even a person could be killed through magic. Of course, there are certain conditions that people should know: if God does not allow it, nothing can happen. For someone to be affected—even to the point of death—they must already be spiritually indifferent, hardened, and have rejected Christ from their heart. That is, they have completely turned away and placed themselves in the hands of the devil. So, if God allows it, and at some point it becomes evident—even to us—that death will occur, then there is a ritual that can be performed, and within 24 hours the person may die. —Have you performed such a ritual in an apartment in Athens? —Yes, of course. —Did your teacher only remove spells, or also cast them? —Mostly he cast them. And to tell the truth, he never removed them, because he couldn’t. He even told me that—“we can never undo them,” because that belongs to a higher authority, namely the Church. There were also periods he mentioned to me personally, when I myself was not well—I felt like I was going insane. This was during the period of Epiphany, from the day of Epiphany and for 40 days afterward, because of the great religious event of Christ’s baptism and the sanctification of the waters. All this, as Maros used to say, is why we protected ourselves and endured it by taking pills—sedatives and painkillers—because we had terrible pain, headaches, and a state of mental disturbance during that period. —How is this explained? —As I said, it can be explained better by the Church. It is the great gift that God gives to people—especially Orthodox Christians—through the sanctification that takes place. At that time, all spells are broken as a sign of God’s gift because of the baptism of His Son. That is, even if you had cast spells on someone, everything would be undone. All the written charms, all the bindings—everything would turn to nothing, like ashes and smoke. And we suffered because of this. What stood out is that during that time, both I personally and Maros—who also confessed this—recognized that Christ is indeed more powerful, and so is the Church. But we still couldn’t leave. —What did you tell your clients? —We told them excuses, because they came with serious complaints. They saw everything turning upside down. Even marriages that had been “achieved” through magic were breaking apart. Forgive me, but marriages were dissolving, along with other matters—inheritance cases and everything else. —Is it possible for someone who works as a medium to have a gift from God and help others? —According to the Orthodox Church, absolutely not, because they cooperate with demons. There are even cases where, at the moment magic or divination is being performed, if Christians are praying or a liturgy is taking place, all their rituals are immobilized. —Does the victim of magic have symptoms, and what are they? —First of all, anyone involved in such practices is cut off from the body of the Church. Secondly, they are exposed to evil spirits that operate within the realm of magic. There are many cases where even the practitioners themselves suffer greatly from the spirits they invoke. In other cases, people fall ill or suffer mental disturbance. —Finally, Father Daniel, how can someone be immune to magic throughout their life? —The way is to live a sacramental life. That is, to be a conscious member of the Church: to have a spiritual father, to confess, to receive Holy Communion, to study Scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers, and so on.

This is a well-known text from the books published about Elder Paisios, Saint Paisios the Athonite. From “Spiritual Awakening” (Discourses II), published by the Holy Hesychasterion of Saint John the Theologian in Souroti, Thessaloniki, around page 188. Listen: a nun once asked Elder Paisios, while he was still alive, “Elder, in these difficult times, will Christ intervene?” It’s the same question people ask today. The same question was asked even before 1994, when he reposed—30 years ago. Even then, people felt the times were difficult. Imagine what he would say about our times today. So the nun asks again: “Elder, in these difficult times, will Christ intervene?” And listen to the vision Paisios had. He was a prophet—not only did he have a prophetic gift (which others also had), but he also had the gift of interpreting prophecy. Here he answers someone who is suffering unjustly but has a good disposition. Because such a person deserves divine help, many times the saints, the Virgin Mary, or Christ Himself appear to save them. How much more now, when the poor world will be in such a difficult state? “What is coming,” he says, “will be like a storm.” Listen carefully—he says the following: “There will be a short ‘occupation’ by the Antichrist, by Satan. Then a ‘slap’ from Christ.” All nations will be shaken, and peace will come to the world for many years. This time, Christ will give an opportunity for His creation to be saved. Will Christ abandon His creation? No. He will appear at humanity’s dead end in order to save people from the hands of the Antichrist. People will return to Christ, and a spiritual peace will come over the whole world for many years. Do you hear what awaits us? These things are said for our own generation. Again—he said this 30 years ago. A spiritual peace will come over the whole world for many years. But first, he says, there will be a shaking of all nations. All nations will be shaken. These are no longer local problems. Notice—they are not national issues; they are global. Some people, he says—pay close attention—connect this intervention of Christ with the Second Coming. “I cannot say that,” he says. See how humble and discerning the saint was. “My thought tells me that this will not be the Second Coming of Christ as Judge, but rather an intervention of Christ.” Because there are still many events that have not yet taken place—he is referring to the events of the Apocalypse. Therefore, we cannot yet speak about the Antichrist in that final sense.

*The vision of Saint Niphon regarding the Second Coming has something to tell all of us, to every class of people, from bishops down to the last layperson. * One night, after the Saint finished his customary nightly prayer, he lay down to sleep on the stones. As always, it was midnight, and he was still keeping vigil, gazing at the moon and the stars in the sky. Alone as he was, he reflected on his sins. What sins? And yet he wept bitterly because he brought to mind the fearful hour of judgment. Suddenly, he sees the firmament of heaven being drawn back like a sheet, and the Lord Jesus Christ appears in enormous proportions. He stood in the air, surrounded by all the heavenly hosts—angels, archangels, and fearsome and exalted ranks arranged in perfect order. The Lord signaled to the commander of one rank, and he approached—radiant, awe-inspiring, yet reverent. “Michael, Michael, prince of the Covenant, take with your rank the fiery throne of My glory and go to the valley of Jehoshaphat. There you shall set it as the first sign of My presence. For the hour is near when each one will receive according to his works. And the moment has quickly come when I will judge those who worshiped idols, the devil, and denied Me, their Creator. All of them will be shattered like vessels, as will My enemies—the heretics who dared to separate Me from My Father, who dared to reduce the Comforter Spirit to a creature. What hell awaits them? Now I will appear to the Jews who crucified Me and did not believe in My divinity. All authority, honor, and power have been given to Me. I am the righteous Judge. When I was on the Cross, they said: ‘He saved others; let Him save Himself.’ Now vengeance is Mine; I will repay. I will judge, I will expose, and I will punish the wicked and perverse generation severely, because it did not repent. I gave them opportunities to repent, but they despised them. Therefore, now I will take vengeance. I will do the same to the Sodomites, to those who commit perversions and who polluted the earth and the air with their stench. I burned them then in Sodom and Gomorrah, and again I will burn them because they defiled the pleasure of the Holy Spirit and loved the pleasure of the devil. I will also punish the adulterers, the foolish and darkened ones who resemble irrational beasts. They were not content with their lawful marriage but foolishly turned to adultery, and Satan cast them bound into the abyss of fire. They did not hear that ‘it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.’ I called them to repentance, yet they did not repent. I will also condemn the thieves who committed many evils, even murders, and all those who committed a multitude of sins. I granted everyone opportunities to change, but they paid me no attention. Where are their good works? I showed them the prodigal son as an example and many others so that they would not despair in their sins, but they despised My commandments and denied Me. They turned away from Me and loved debauchery. They loathed Me and became enslaved to sin. Let them therefore go into the flame which they themselves kindled. But also those who died holding grudges, I will hand over to terrible torment. A resentful person remembers the evil done to him and never forgets it. They did not desire My peace was lost, and I lived in anger, bitterness, and wrath. The greedy, the usurers, and the lovers of money—I will destroy and pour out all My wrath upon them, because they placed their hope in gold and ignored Me, as if I did not know how to care for them. And those false Christians who claimed that there is no resurrection of the dead or that there is reincarnation—I will melt them down to Gehenna like wax. Then they will be convinced of the resurrection of the dead. The poisoners, the sorcerers, and all like them will be tortured mercilessly. Woe also to those who get drunk, revel, sing, dance, mock, and imagine evil things. I called them, and they did not listen; they mocked me. Now the worm will gnaw at their heart. I granted mercy and repentance to all, but no one paid attention. I will also cast into darkness those who despised the Holy Scriptures, which My Spirit wrote through the Saints. I will also judge those who deal in superstitions and place their hope in knives, axes, sickles, and similar things. Then they will learn that they should have hoped in God and not in the creations of God. They will be troubled and protest, but they will have no power, for vengeance is Mine; I will repay. I will also punish the kings and rulers who continually grieved Me with their injustices. They judged unjustly and arrogantly, despising people. They accepted bribes, but my authority does not accept bribes. For their injustice, I will destroy them. Then they will understand that I am the One who removes the authority of rulers, that I am more fearsome than all the kings of the earth. Woe to them—what punishment awaits them, because their teeth were set on edge and they shed innocent blood, the blood of their children and daughters. And what wrath shall I bring upon the hirelings who were not true shepherds, who devastated My vineyard and scattered My sheep? They cared for gold and silver, not for souls, and sought the priesthood for profit. How great will be their punishment, how great their lamentation! I will pour out all My anger upon them and crush them. I will punish their lawlessness with a rod and their injustices with scourges. Also, the priests who laugh or quarrel within My holy churches—what shall I do to them? I will condemn them to fire and Tartarus. I came, and I am coming. Whoever has strength, let him confront Me. But woe to him who, being sinful, falls into My hands. For each one will appear before Me naked and exposed. Where will the shamelessness of sinners appear then? How will they face My countenance? Where will they place their shame? They will be disgraced before My pure powers. Now I will also judge those monks who neglected their duties and betrayed the promises they made before God, angels, and men. They promised one thing and did another. From the height to which they ascended, I will cast them down into the abyss. It was not enough for them to destroy themselves, but they also caused a deadly scandal for others. It would have been better for them not to renounce the world than to renounce it and live burdened with sins. Vengeance is Mine; I will repay those who did not wish to repent. I will judge them as a just judge." These words, which the Lord proclaimed to the Archangel Michael, filled the countless angelic hosts with fear. Then He commanded that the seven ages of the world be brought before Him. Michael carried out the command and went immediately to the house of the Covenant and brought them. They were great books, which he placed before the judge. Then he stood aside reverently, watching as the Lord opened and examined the history of all ages. He took the first page, opened it, and read: “The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—God in three persons. From the Father, the Son was begotten. By the Word of the Father, the ages were made. The bodiless powers were created, the sea, the rivers, and all things within them.”

Here is the site of Panagia of Zodochos Pigi, also called Panagia of Glossa. It is located about 15–20 minutes from the main road. It lies south of the village of Kellaki, about 5 minutes away. The area is called “Listogonos Mountain,” and it received this name because in old times, pirate ships used to stop there after carrying out raids. The robbers would escape to this mountain to hide, since it was difficult to access. In the past, there was a small village here, which was later abandoned. The inhabitants moved further down. Perhaps this happened because of the raids, to stay hidden, or maybe because of the cold—we do not know. Many ruins remained here, which people called “ruined houses.” Gradually, as people began cultivating gardens in the area, they cleared the land. The first church that existed here was a small chapel, serving as a rural chapel of the village. Some historians date it to the 12th century, others to the 15th century—we are not certain. As we said, this was originally a chapel of Zoodochos Pigi (Life-Giving Spring). Later, the residents leveled the area, intending to use it either for storage or construction. However, in 1976, the metropolitan bishop requested the land to establish a monastery. The local community agreed, along with the priest, and gave the land for this purpose. Thus, in 1976, it became a monastery. Four nuns came from Saint George Domanos, and the monastery began as a communal women’s monastery. Later, the large church of the Holy Trinity was built, which is now the main church (katholikon) of the monastery. It is a beautiful Byzantine-style church. The wooden carvings inside are handmade, dating from around the 1800s. They are remarkable works of art, with symbolic representations such as the phoenix, the vine, and the peacock. These carvings are of great value. The Church of the Holy Trinity was built by the priest of Saint Tychon, Father Kyriakos, together with his wife. Later, other chapels were built, including the chapel of All Saints next to the Holy Trinity. Also, on the first floor of the monastery, there are chapels dedicated to Saint Savvas and Saint Ambrose. There are also many accounts of miracles. A couple once brought their six-year-old child, who could not speak. They stayed overnight at the monastery and prayed to the Virgin Mary for their child to speak. The next morning, at dawn, the child woke up and said, “Mom, I want milk,” even though he had never spoken before. This was considered a miracle of Panagia, and many such miracles have occurred. Another man came recently and said that after praying and repeating the prayer three times for his child, the child’s tongue was opened, and he began to speak. We should also mention the holy water (hagiasma) found here at Zoodochos Pigi. It flows from a rock behind the monastery. However, for easier access, it has been brought to a fountain in front because it is difficult to reach the back. In another case, the Virgin Mary appeared in a dream to a woman who was in the final stages of cancer. She told her to come there, describing the route with turns, and said, “There you will find me, Panagia of Glossa, and my daughters (the nuns) who care for me.” When the woman arrived, she recognized the place exactly as shown in the dream, and her cancer was completely healed. Another woman brought her daughter, who was about to undergo surgery for tumors in her neck. A prayer (paraklesis) was performed, asking the Virgin Mary to perform a miracle. The next day, the girl returned running with her arms open, saying, “I have nothing! They took me for surgery, and there was nothing.” The Virgin Mary had performed a miracle. The girl still visits the monastery and celebrates Panagia with great joy. There was also a nine-year-old child from Russia who had never spoken a single word. After a prayer service and anointing with oil, the child began to speak fluently, as if he had always spoken, with no problem at all. The feast of Panagia here is celebrated on the Friday of Bright Week, the week after Easter, known as Renewal Week. That Friday is dedicated to Zoodochos Pigi. Here, she is also known as Panagia of Glossa. There is also a celebration on Thomas's birthday. Many people come bringing offerings, often silver tokens, asking for miracles. After receiving help, many return to offer silver plaques inscribed with the word “thank you,” expressing their deep gratitude to Panagia.

--- Abdul Hamid gave the order for the tomb of Mehmed the Conqueror, which was located next to the mosque, to be opened in order to check for any damage and make repairs. The tomb was opened, and at a depth of three meters, an iron trapdoor was found. From there, a stone staircase led down into the underground chamber of a Byzantine church. There, to their astonishment, the workers found a marble tomb containing the embalmed body of Mehmed—identical to the portrait painted by the Italian artist a few months before his death. This fact—that Mehmed was buried within the ruins of a Byzantine church—has been considered by many as strong evidence that he wished to be buried as a Christian and Byzantine emperor, among the other Byzantine rulers. It is known that Mehmed often claimed to be the successor of the Byzantine emperors. Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who, for political reasons at the time, had abandoned a certain Islamic sect he had followed and had adopted Sunni Islam, was seized with panic and ordered the tomb to be immediately sealed. These events took place before 1908, and since then, the tomb has never been opened again. For this reason, it is difficult today to verify the testimony. However, on December 19, 1996, a Turkish weekly publication associated with the well-known newspaper Sabah was released with the striking headline: “The Conqueror was a Christian.” The subtitle read: “Historians have not been able to solve this mystery to this day.” Many centuries after the death of the great Fatih—Mehmed the Conqueror, as he is historically known—it is also known that he had a Christian mother, most likely of Greek origin. The fact that in modern Turkey—where Islamic identity is strongly re-emerging—such reports are published is seen by some as evidence of doubt about Mehmed’s true religious identity, even within the official Turkish establishment. This becomes even more significant when we consider that Fatih Mehmed is one of the greatest taboos of Turkish history, nationalism, and identity. A leader like him was expected to embody not only national pride but also religious identity. And yet, inside his tomb, it is claimed, lies one of the greatest secrets of the Ottoman Empire. There were testimonies stating that next to the tomb there was a cross and an icon of the Virgin Mary. According to these claims, Mehmed the Conqueror may have embraced Christianity at the end of his life—something carefully concealed by official Turkish historiography. From his early childhood, he had contact with Christianity through his Christian mother. It is one of the great historical mysteries how a relatively small number of Seljuk Turks and Ottomans who arrived in Asia Minor between the 9th and 10th centuries managed, within a few centuries, to change the entire ethnic and religious character of a region inhabited by millions—many say up to 20 million—Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians. There are many explanations. Some say it was forced Islamization through violence, while others say it occurred for practical and economic reasons. However, because this process of religious conversion was often incomplete and superficial, a unique characteristic remained within Turkish Islam—one that some consider a heterodox element. Today, this is being increasingly discussed by Turkish journalists and researchers under the term “the religious problem of modern Turkey.” On November 10, 2002, a Turkish newspaper reported that the feast of Saint Nektarios was celebrated inside a Muslim mosque—formerly a Christian church—in Eastern Thrace. Many Turkish Muslims stayed after their prayers to observe the Christian service with great reverence. Similarly, there are reports of Turkish Muslims attending Christian ceremonies, lighting candles, kissing priests’ hands, and seeking blessings from the Virgin Mary. In some cases, even Muslims from other countries, such as Iran and Iraq, visit Orthodox churches in Istanbul, seeking hope, healing, and help for their personal struggles. Some Turkish women have even been reported diving into the water during the Epiphany ceremony to catch the cross—an act deeply rooted in Orthodox Christian tradition. Other reports mention Muslims visiting churches regularly, praying, lighting candles, and asking for miracles. Turkish newspapers have even described certain churches as “places of hope” for Muslims. In recent years, there has also been an increase in conversions to Christianity in Turkey, often among people who later discover they have Christian ancestry. Investigations revealed that many of these individuals had ancestors who were Islamized, especially after the Asia Minor catastrophe, and later rediscovered their Christian roots. There are also remarkable accounts of healing sites, such as sacred springs associated with early Christianity, where both Turks and foreigners visit for healing. In some places, visitors light candles, burn incense, and perform acts that are officially forbidden in Islam. Despite this, such practices continue and are even broadcast on Turkish television. One striking example is the pilgrimage to Saint George on the island of Büyükada, where tens of thousands of Muslim Turks visit the church, light candles, make vows, and seek blessings. Some even walk barefoot up the hill to the church, tying threads along the path as part of a ritual for their wishes. Priests are seen blessing Muslim visitors, sometimes even making the sign of the cross on their foreheads. Finally, there was a mysterious event reported in 1998 on the island of Antigoni, where a strange, sorrowful sound—like a sigh—was heard every night around a church. Residents were alarmed and unable to explain it. Some interpreted it as a supernatural sign, even suggesting it was a message from the Virgin Mary—a lament for the state of the world and the abandonment of faith. The church, once full of Orthodox believers, now stands nearly empty. And this sorrowful “voice” was seen by some as a symbol of that loss. --- If you want, I can: * shorten this into a **powerful narration script** * or turn it into **YouTube documentary style with dramatic pacing**

Prophecy about Crete and Greece by Monk Gennadios. A Greek–Turkish war. Monk Gennadios, like many ascetics of the Church, was filled with divine grace and bore Christ within him. Because of this grace, he prophesied, saw visions, and made predictions. Due to the great apostasy of mankind from God, he taught that the end of the world is approaching: the Second Coming of the Lord. First, the Lord will allow a global war to take place because the world does not repent. This war will be the last, because the destruction will be total. A small state will be the cause of the global war. Perhaps that state will be Cyprus. When the flood of Noah occurred, people drowned in water. Now they will drown in blood. In Constantinople, there will be great slaughter, and the sea will turn red from the blood of the slain. A three-year-old calf will float in the blood, as Saint Kosmas said. This signifies the great massacre, bloodshed, and destruction that will occur. The sky will be filled with airplanes dropping fire and bombs on people. Terrified, people will cry out, "My Panagia, my Panagia.” Constantinople will be taken again by the Greeks, but there will be great killing. Before the war begins, a great Cross will appear in the sky. The Turks will attack. They will cross the Evros River and cause destruction. They will reach Hexamilia, and then we will confront them. Other nations will help us, possibly the Russians and the French. We will drive the Turks back and take the city and Asia Minor. We will pursue them as far as the Red Apple. One third of them will be killed, another third will be driven away, and the remaining third will be baptized. They will be descendants of crypto-Christians. There are still crypto-Christians today, but they will be revealed. The great powers will then claim Constantinople, but it will ultimately be given to the Greeks. Greece will suffer great destruction. There may even be a civil war. Prophecy about Crete. The Turks will come to Crete. They will land at Preveli, Maridaki, and Chondros, near Kaloi Limenes. They will carry out massacres and destruction wherever they pass. In the region of Merambello, there will be great slaughter, and the cries will be heard in the mountains. In the end, the Turks will be defeated and retreat in disorder. Even women will chase them away with simple means. The army will not realize where they will land. There will be fog, so they can land undisturbed. Crete will be destroyed not by bombs, but by sins. Only a small part will remain as a reminder. Foreign forces are trying to remove Greeks from their faith and history. If they abandon it, destruction will come. What happened in Cyprus in 1974 will also happen to us. The Turks are ready, but the time has not yet come. God is waiting for our repentance.

AFTER ERDOGAN

Θα ξεμπαρκάρουν οι Τούρκοι από το νότιο μέρος της Κρήτης, από τα Πρεβελιώτικα (Μοναστήρι Πρέβελη) και από το Μαριδάκι, από το χωριό Χόνδρος, κοντά στους Καλούς Λιμένες Ηρακλείου. Οι Τούρκοι θα κάνουν ένα πέρασμα και από τα μέρη που θα περνούν θα κάνουν γενική σφαγή και καταστροφή. Στην Επαρχία Μεραμβέλλου Λασιθίου, θα γίνει μεγάλο μακελειό και καταστροφή. Το βογγητό και το κλάμα των ανθρώπων θα ακούεται από την Βουβάλα, βουνό στις Μελάμπες Ρεθύμνου.

Ή πνευματική ξηρασία πού βιώνει ό λαός μας θά φέρει ώς φυσικές συνέπειες μεγάλο καταστρεπτικό σεισμό, επιδημίες, εμφυλίους πολέμους. Θά δείτε τίς πολυκατοικίες στήν Αθήνα νά συγκρούονται σάν τά κριάρια καί στίς τρείς ή μία νά μένει όρθια. Θά δείτε τούς καρπούς άπό τά χωράφια σας νά τούς τρώνε σύννεφα άπό ακρίδες καί τά άγρια πουλιά. Θά δείτε ο λαός μας έξ αίτιας αυτών που μας κουβαλήσανε οί Αμερικανοί, δηλαδή των ξένων νά διχάζεται. Θά γίνει εμφύλιος, μ’ αυτούς πού φέρανε εδώ τους ξένους,θα έχουμε μπερδέματα,θα χυθεί αίμα,θα την πληρώσουν άνθρωποι που δεν θα φταίνε.Και μετά θα έρθει δυστυχία,φτώχεια,πείνα,αρρώστιες.Θα δουλεύετε για να πάρετε ένα κομμάτι ψωμί,όλη την ημέρα,ίσα-ίσα το μεροκάματο θα φτάνει.

The Holy Bible warns us that Satan "transforms himself into an angel of light" in order to deceive. The incidents in which Christians, even monks, have fallen victim to illusory demonic apparitions are fully reflected in the document issued by the I.M. Saint Nicodemus "Elderly about dreams and visions". We also know from the Holy Bible that even if "an angel from heaven preaches to us, even if we receive it" "let him be accursed". For this reason, any evangelized union that violates the saving Truth of the Church cannot be accepted, as a messenger of confusion and loss, much more so when it is based on the spirit of our time, which seeks spectacles, not on the "voices of the Spirit". the Holy Fathers, but in the visions of simple Christians, who proclaim themselves Prophets. from the Holy Apostles

ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 91 [90] Κάτω απ’ τη στέγη του Υψίστου 1Όποιος κάτω απ’ τη στέγη του Υψίστου κατοικεί, όποιος στου Παντοκράτορα τον ίσκιο διαμένει, 2ας λέει στον Κύριο: «Κρησφύγετο και φρούριό μου είν’ ο Θεός μου που σ’ αυτόν ελπίζω». 3Αυτός σ’ ελευθερώνει από παγίδα κυνηγού, από τις συκοφαντικές καταγγελίες. 4Με τις φτερούγες του θα σε σκεπάσει, κάτω απ’ το φτέρωμά του θα κρυφτείς· ασπίδα σου και περιτείχισμα θα ’ναι η πιστότητά του. 5Απ’ της νυχτιάς το ρίγος δεν θα φοβηθείς ούτε τη μέρα από αιφνίδιο βέλος, 6από καταστροφή που στο σκοτάδι έρχεται, ή από πανούκλα που θερίζει μέρα μεσημέρι. 7Στ’ αριστερά σου χίλιοι θα πεθάνουν, χιλιάδες δέκα στα δεξιά σου, μα εσένα δε θα σ’ εύρει το κακό. 8Τα μάτια σου μονάχα θα θωρούν να δουν των ασεβών την τιμωρία. 9Γιατί εσύ λες: «Ο Κύριος είναι το κρησφύγετό μου». Τον Ύψιστο τον έβαλες προστάτη σου. 10Κακό κανένα δε θα πέσει πάνω σου και συμφορά δε θα σιμώσει τη σκηνή σου. 11Αυτός διατάζει τους αγγέλους του για χάρη σου, να σε φυλάνε όπου κι αν πας. 12Θα σε σηκώσουνε στα χέρια τους, να μη σκοντάψει το πόδι σου σε πέτρα. 13Θα περπατάς απάνω σε λιοντάρια και σε φίδια· με το πόδι σου θα συντρίβεις τα λιονταράκια και τους δράκοντες. 14«Εγώ θα σώσω εκείνον» –λέει ο Κύριος– «που πάνω μου στηρίζεται· θα τον υψώσω, γιατί ξέρει ποιος είμαι. 15Μ’ επικαλείται και του αποκρίνομαι, μαζί του είμ’ εγώ στη θλίψη· θα τον λυτρώνω και θα τον δοξάζω. 16Χρόνους πολλούς θα του δώσω να ζήσει και θα τον κάνω να δει πως ο σωτήρας του είμαι εγώ».

In Revelation, St. John the Theologian sees the war of the 200 million cavalries, which kills a third of the people, take place. Evil affects souls and bodies (like a motorized army). (Rev. 9:16). After this war, the 2nd Presence of the Lord does not take place, because John manages to tell us that people did not repent, that is, life was extended to humanity, but few took advantage of it to be saved. Father Athanasios Mytilineos also explains this. With a miraculous intervention of God the evil spirits (who led the people into war) are bound to pacify the earth, and to spread the Gospel unadulterated throughout the world, as Revelation writes in chapter 10: 10-1 And I saw another angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon his head, and his face like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire, 10-2 and has a book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left on the earth ... This powerful Angel helps the unstable (like the sea) unbelievers with more power, symbolically using his right foot and with less power (indicated by the left) those (who like the earth) are more stable in faith. 10-5 And the angel, which I saw standing on the sea and on the earth, raised his right hand to heaven 10-6 and swore to Him who lives in the ages to come, who built the heavens and all that exists. in him, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, that time no longer exists. That is, there will be no further extension for repentance. The Son is the most trustworthy to swear by the Father because, as we say in the Creed, through Him "all things were made" (by which all things were made), and space and time. And because even the angels in Heaven do not know the day of the Second Coming, as the Lord declared: "And of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Matt. (24:36). Revelation: 10-11 And they say unto me, (The holy angels which were with the mighty angel). You must again prophesy to peoples and nations and languages and to many kings. Therefore, John, the great Theologian of the Church, assumes the responsibility of the dogmatically unadulterated preaching of the word of God throughout the world in the peaceful period after the War. For, according to the word of the Lord to Peter, John abideth in the earth until the second coming: it follows me ". (John 21:22). That is, if I want him (John) to stay until I come, what do you care? You follow Me; The two prophets Elijah and Enoch are physically present on earth because they did not die, and they will obviously control the Antichrist. John, who also appears in the hagiography, after his metastasis (which the Church celebrates on September 26) is spiritually present and thus will not be killed by the Antichrist, like the two prophets. Because there is not much time left until the Synteleia after the catastrophic war, John's sermon will be very short, as indicated by the "booklet", ie a very small book that symbolically contains it and was given to him by the "Powerful Angel". Definitely, then, the Gospel will be preached again, and in fact unadulterated by ecumenical and other delusions, and this is guaranteed by the Theologian John, who was called to his new mission with the words: "You must prophesy again" ... For our time, before the world war, says Saint Paisios: Now it will be a downpour, a small possession of the antichrist Satan. He will then eat a cuff from Christ, all nations will be shaken and peace will come to the world for many years. This time Christ will give an opportunity to save His creature. Will Christ leave His creature? He will appear at the impasse of the people, to save them from the hands of the (then) antichrist. They will return to Christ and spiritual peace will come throughout the universe for many years. Some associate with this intervention of Christ the Second Coming. I can not say. My reasoning tells me that it will not be the Second Coming of Christ when He comes as Judge, but an intervention of Christ, because there are so many events that have not yet taken place. Christ will intervene, give a cuff to this whole the system, crush all evil, and bring it to good in the end. The streets will be filled with shrines. Outside the buses will have pictures. All people will believe. They will pull you to tell them about Christ! Thus the Gospel will be preached throughout the Universe and then (when this period is completed) Christ will come as Judge to judge the world. Another Crisis, another intervention of Christ, to help His creature! (REASONS II "Spiritual Awakening")

ORTHODOX TRUTH

ORTHODOX TRUTH Don't make the mistake We live at the end of time, The devil has built a massive number of prophets on earth to speak in the name of Christ, to confuse us, and to drag us out of the Orthodox Church. and to strip us from our weapons which ORTHODOXY CAN PROVIDE TO US. The Holy Spirit will not operate outside the Orthodox Church. You can say whatever you want but the day You die and you stand before the Throne of our Lord then you will find out about the Truth and then it's too late.

The air sphere-to this world

The air sphere is where the demons are doomed to tempt human souls before they turn sent to hell, the final judgment. The demons are of course invisible to the human senses, but the fruits of their actions appear to human misery, chaos, and sin around the world. Even though both demons and angels are beyond the perception of human sense, still belong to the realm of creation and so "to this world." In addition, these spirits are clear forms and are finite in their movements (any quality of infinity that belongs only to God), so, therefore, can be said to have "bodies" in a way similar to the way people do, if not those natural. Fr. Seraphim places particular emphasis, citing too many prominent Orthodox Fathers and spiritual writers, to pray for the dead after because your prayers help some souls reach heaven, calling God's mercy with fervor

True Orthodox Christians are what= He believes in the Trinity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Has accepted and has confessed that Christ is the Son of God, God-Man Jesus, Emmanuel, and that is the Savior and Redeemer of mankind. Is baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and it is anointed with chrism, symbolizing the gifts and gifts of the Holy Spirit. With his life and deeds, he works every day spiritually and remains a living cell body of the Church. They honor the Virgin Mary and our saints and worship the venerable image of the belief that the veneration goes the original.

βουδιστής ή Χριστός θα επιλέξετε

Ένας βουδιστής μοναχός είχε ακούσει τις φήμες που κυκλοφορούσαν για το γέροντα Παΐσιο και αποφάσισε να τον επισκεφτεί. Όταν τον βρήκε στην καλύβα του, του είπε πως με τη βοήθεια του διαλογισμού ήταν ικανός να αιωρείται στον αέρα. Ο γέροντας δεν τον πίστεψε και απάντησε: “Ο άνθρωπος είναι φτιαγμένος για να πατάει στο χώμα”. Ο βουδιστής τότε έκατσε και διαλογίστηκε και μετά από λίγα λεπτά αιωρήθηκε, δύο μέτρα πάνω από το έδαφος. Ο Παΐσιος μόλις το είδε αυτό κίνησε το χέρι του προς αυτόν, λέγοντας: “Ε, τώρα κάτσε εκεί”! Ο βουδιστής μοναχός έντρομος ανακάλυψε πως δεν μπορούσε να κινηθεί ούτε προς τα πάνω ούτε προς τα κάτω. Ο γέροντας Παΐσιος του εξήγησε πως οι δυνάμεις που του επέτρεπαν να το κάνει αυτό ήταν δαιμονικές και αυτός με τη βοήθεια του Θεού τις εξουδετέρωσε.

Ό δε Διάβολος εκμεταλλευόμενος την σΰγχυσιν των καιρών, και την άδιαφορίαν του χριστιανού δια την ψυχικήν του σωτηρίαν, εργάζεται πυρετωδώς να αχρήστευση το έργον της Όρθοδόξου Εκκλησίας. Προς τον σκοπόν τούτον επιχειρεί να έφαρμόσει και πάλιν το προαιώνιον και καταχθόνιον σχέδιόν του, την άπάτην της ψευδενώσεως των Εκκλησιών. Ποίων όμως Εκκλησιών; Τό Σύμβολον της πίστεως και ή Ιστορία διδάσκουν, ότι ή Εκκλησία είναι «Μία, Αγία, Καθολική και Αποστολική», αυτό τούτο το Μυστικόν Σώμα του Κυρίου, το όποιον Ευρίσκεται μόνον εις την Όρθόδοξον 'Εκκλησίαν.

Channeling energy

Channeling energy is an age-old occult practice. Demons use energy as one of the ways they can move from place to place. They use this energy movement to transfer from person to person, person to object, etc. It is a form of witchcraft, and it is not a practice that brings a person into alignment with the Spirit of God. Even meditation is a form of moving energy as you are trying to move your energy into a certain direction, thought pattern, or process in order to gain something. That is witchcraft.

Traps

Among the current generation of the highly popular oriental "wise men", Indian gurus, Tibetan lamas, Japanese Zen teachers, etc. ... The essence and purpose of all these "spiritual" nets and traps are always the same: to divert a person from knowing the true God, to repent, to lull and soothe the conscience without confession of sins, concealing the real painful position of the soul, create the illusion of a "spiritual" and physical health ... All these teachings are spiritual anesthesia ... Eastern religions inspire the sick person to be healthy, the awakening of faith in perfection and divinity, and nourish pride, by the action of evil spirits generously presents the most exquisite and pleasant "spiritual comfort" his "vision", "Beatitudes" experiences, "peace", "peace" and "infinity".

«Σ’ εσάς όμως, φίλοι μου, λέω: Μη φοβηθείτε αυτούς που σκοτώνουν το σώμα και ύστερα δεν μπορούν τίποτα περισσότερο να κάνουν. Να σας πω ποιον να φοβηθείτε: το Θεό, που έχει την εξουσία να σας ρίξει στην κόλαση μετά το φυσικό θάνατο. Σας βεβαιώνω πως αυτόν πρέπει να φοβάστε. Τα πέντε σπουργίτια δεν πουλιούνται για δύο μόνο ασσάρια; Κι όμως ο Θεός ούτε ένα απ’ αυτά δεν ξεχνάει. Ο Θεός έχει μετρημένες ακόμα και τις τρίχες της κεφαλής σας. Μη φοβάστε, λοιπόν, γιατί αξίζετε περισσότερο από πολλά σπουργίτια.» «Σας βεβαιώνω πως όποιος ομολογήσει μπροστά στους ανθρώπους ότι ανήκει σ’ εμένα, το ίδιο θα κάνει γι’ αυτόν και ο Υιός του Ανθρώπου κατά την τελική κρίση, μπροστά στους αγγέλους του Θεού. Όποιος όμως με απαρνηθεί μπροστά στους ανθρώπους, θα τον απαρνηθεί και ο Υιός του Ανθρώπου μπροστά στους αγγέλους του Θεού, κατά την τελική κρίση. Όποιος μιλήσει προσβλητικά κατά του Υιού του Ανθρώπου, ο Θεός θα τον συγχωρήσει· όποιος όμως προσβάλει το Άγιο Πνεύμα, ο Θεός δε θα τον συγχωρήσει. Όταν σας οδηγήσουν μπροστά στις συναγωγές ή στις πολιτικές αρχές, μην αγωνιάτε για το πώς θα απολογηθείτε ή τι θα πείτε, γιατί το Άγιο Πνεύμα θα σας φωτίσει εκείνη τη στιγμή τι θα πρέπει να πείτε»

Here knowledgeable authorities on the Jewish Kabbalah:

Kabbalah contains such power and demonic teaching is more than enough to give the ideology and the driving force needed to mislead the world and to keep such an evil conspiracy alive through the centuries ... The Kabbalah is a source of Freemasons' teaching as well as other groups. Kabbalah: The sacred books of black magic Judaism which constitute a large part of the base of the western secret societies, from Rosicrucians to Freemasonry and the OTO. Kabbalah is the same as the magic of ancient Babylon and Egypt ... Pharaonic. Kabbalah is a system of Jewish mysticism and magic and is the fundamental element of modern magic. Almost all great witches and magicians of this century were Kabbalists. - William J. Schnoebelen, The Dark Side of Freemasonry The Jewish Kabbalah is a series of apocryphal writings that are so demonic and every spell ever in magic. Webster's dictionary the Kabbalah tells us is "an occult religious philosophy developed by some Jewish scholars

Does the Bible says that we are saved only by faith;

Does the Bible says that the Bible is the complete revelation of God? No, it says. Does the Bible says that we are saved only by faith? No, it says. But what Scripture says is: 1 Timothy 3:15, "but if I tarry long, that know how men should behave in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." in John 14:26 "But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you." (Our Jesus said that full disclosure will reveal the Holy spirit) is James 2:26 "26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith without works is dead." Bible is clear, we must follow the church of Jesus. Catholic church does not belong to the Pope or the bishops or priests, Catholic church belongs to Jesus and every body is welcome to participate in this is why Jesus found him saved us.

Patience in trials based on internal humility recognizes that the world will have tribulations. Nobody, after all, has spent his life without a trial, some pain, some regret. Everyone, "whatever position we have under the sun," accepts the consequences of a panhuman transient state. Nature lost our beauty, health, and divine harmony. Could not God n 'indifferent vengeance and leave us alone, because we wanted to live without Him. His love exceeds our logic and perception, so it converts the sorrows into drugs and tests on remedies.

CHRIST IS ORTHODOX

Elders of Zion are exercised through universal misfortunes by foretells the certain and already near future of mankind or by raising the curtain for the last act of the world tragedy. Only the light of Christ and the Holy Universal Church can not fathom the abyss of Satan and disclose the extent of malice. I feel in my heart that the hour has already struck when there should urgently convene an eighth ecumenical council that will unite the pastor and representatives of all Christendom. Secular quarrels and schisms will all be forgotten in the imminent need to prepare against the coming of Antichrist. The provision of Sergios Nile is even more remarkable when one considers that appeared in the Epilogue version of the Protocols of 1905.]BUT BEFORE ALL THIS,WE WILL HAVE THE PREVAIL OF ORTHODOXY,FOR SEVERAL YEARS,AND THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TURKEY FROM THE MAP.Σας προσκαλούμε όλους να έρθουν και να συμμετάσχουν, στη μόνη αλήθεια. Ο Χριστός είναι ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΟΣ-We invite you all to come and join,into the only truth. CHRIST IS ORTHODOX

To δόγμα του Κάρμα και Μετενσάρκωση

Ο Χριστός νίκησε το θάνατο, όχι με την απελευθέρωση από το σώμα, αλλά και με την ανάσταση και την αθανασία τοu σώματος .To δόγμα του Κάρμα και Μετενσάρκωση ακυρώνει το μυστήριο του Χριστού σωτηρια .Ενώπιον ο αιώνιος Κριτής θα σταθεί ο άνθρωπος όχι μόνο η ψυχή, αλλά και ως ένα σώμα, το δόγμα της μετενσάρκωσης, που αξιολογεί αρνητικά το σώμα, όχι μόνο να ακυρώσει την ελπίδα στο Χριστό, η χριστιανική, αλλά και την αίσθηση της θείας λατρείας, το βασικό σκοπό της Θείας Ευχαριστίας, ποιο είναι το σημείο να υποφέρουν σε αυτή τη ζωή, αν δεν έχετε καμία ανάκληση της προηγούμενης λάθη τη ζωή σου, ποιο είναι το όφελος από εσάς σε αυτή τη ζωή, και θα πρέπει να έρθει και πάλι, έχοντας τον ίδιο, πράγμα για μια στιγμή αυτό είναι πράγματα του διαβόλου, ο οποίος θέλει να σας αποσπάσει την προσοχή από την αλήθεια

Ορθοδοξία

Οἱ Τοῦρκοι

Οἱ Τοῦρκοι θὰ φύγουν, ἀλλὰ θὰ ξανάρθουν πάλι καὶ θὰ φθάσουν ὡς τὰ Ἑξαμίλια. Στὸ τέλος θὰ τοὺς διώξουν εἰς Κόκκινη Μηλιά. Ἀπὸ τοὺς Τούρκους τὸ 1/3 θὰ σκοτωθῆ, τὸ ἄλλο τρίτο θὰ βαπτισθῆ καὶ μονάχα τὸ 1/3 θὰ πάη στὴν Κόκκινη Μηλιά». Η προφητεία αυτή του Αγίου αναφέρει ότι το ένα τρίτο των Τούρκων θα βαπτισθεί. Είναι αξιοσημείωτο, ότι σήμερα ήδη μεταξύ των Τούρκων υπάρχουν πολλοί Κρυπτοχριστιανοί. Πολλοί προσκυνητές, κυρίως Ρώσοι, φτάνοντας στην Τουρκία διηγούνται ότι κατά τη διάρκεια της παραμονής τους εκεί, έρχονται σ’ αυτούς άνθρωποι ζητώντας εικόνες, προσευχητάρια και αναζητούν την ευκαιρία να εξομολογηθούν και να κοινωνήσουν.

Η αθανασία της ψυχής

Αν απομονώσουμε έναν άνθρωπο και ένα χιμπατζή, για τα 100 χρόνια διάστημα, και πάμε μετά για να δείτε και να ελέγξετε και τα δύο, θα δούμε στην περίπτωση του ανθρώπου, που έχει βελτιωθεί σε όλα . τη 2η Περίπτωση του πιθήκου -Θα δούμε ότι ο πίθηκος είναι στο ίδιο επίπεδο συνειδητότητας, δεν έχει αυτό το κάτι δεδομένο από το Θεό οποs o άνθρωπος έχει.

The time that Orthodoxy will prevail is near

We know that it is not only natural laws but also spiritual. Therefore, the wrath of God can not be addressed by cooperative sinners (why double rage will become), but by repentance and adherence to orders Lord.

Time to wake up

It is here, taken over the whole world, and control all media and entertainment and telecommunications to you can not find other Human nations and organize it could. ATT, Verizon, T Mobile, Comcast, Dish TV, TV, all TV networks, and movie studios, of Tainies As Google, Yahoo, and all the Internet belongs Jews. All Telecom is owned and controlled by the Jews, so You will never understand the truth. And since banks were controlled by the Jews and the Jewish Banking Laws allowed them Jews to make money by lending money or money is their debt It also has the highest educational system and all banks lend money for higher education and the fact that the debt is money in banking world $ 1 trillion in student loan debt is actually 100 trillion in new money for the Hebrew Jewish banks. But stupid people, you try to find out who is the richest man every time. After a few years, they will possess your soul, with the Coming fucking Antichrist, and will have no fucking idea what is happening

Time of our death

The realm of the air is where the demons are condemned to tempt human souls before they are in turn sent to hell at the Last Judgment. Demons are of course invisible to human senses but the fruits of their actions are shown in the human misery, chaos and sin enveloping the world. Even though both demons and angels are beyond general human sense perception, they still belong to the realm of creation and thus "to this world." Furthermore, these spirits have definite forms and are finite in their movements (any quality of infinity belonging to God alone), so therefore they can be said to have "bodies" in a similar manner to the way humans do, if not physical ones. Fr. Seraphim places special emphasis, citing a great many prominent Orthodox Fathers and spiritual writers, on praying for the dead after because prayers help some souls attain to heaven by calling upon God's mercy with fervor

On Catholics, ECUMENISM,Sects -ORTHODOX Elder Arsenie Papacioc from this_is_ortodoxy on Vimeo.

ORTHODOXY is the only true religion! All the other so-called "christian churches" changed very very many things in Christianity.. Catholicism changes and ajusts doga every day(a metaphore, but you got the idea). Orthodoxy has remain pure and unchanged since the 7 ecumenical councils at the dawn of Christianity. Catholics left us, and after them, the protestants split from them and driifted farther away from the true essence of Christianity, and then the anglicans, penticostals, baptists, etc, etc.... Now there are hundreads or even thousand of so-called "christian churches".Catholics are the origin of all the sects today. It is a saying... " There were three Great falls in history: 1)The fall of Satan 2)The fall of Adam 3)The fall of the first Pope in 1054! " But the Truth is only one, and is found in the only Church founded by the 12 apostols. The Orthodox Church. Orthodox =The Right Faith Ortho = Right,Unchanged Dox = Dogma,Faith All the thousands of so-called christian churches starting with Catholicism lost Apostolic descendence. They are anathematised, because they changed the Faith.

η ομοφυλοφιλία

κληρονομήσιμο δεν σημαίνει κληρονομικό.

η γενετική έρευνα που είναι πραγματικά σοβαρή εντοπίζει και εστιάζεται σε χαρακτηριστικά που είναι άμεσα κληρονομικά.

Κληρονομικό χαρακτηριστικό σημαίνει ότι είναι «άμεσα καθορισμένο από τα γονίδια» και δεν μπορεί να επηρεαστεί από το περιβάλλον. Τέτοια είναι σωματικά χαρακτηριστικά όπως το σχήμα των νυχιών ή το χρώμα των ματιών. Αντιθέτως, ελάχιστα χαρακτηριστικά της συμπεριφοράς του ανθρώπου είναι άμεσα κληρονομικά.

Η πλειοψηφία των έγκριτων επιστημόνων τώρα πιστεύουν ότι η ομοφυλοφιλία οφείλεται σε ένα συνδυασμό ψυχολογικών, κοινωνικών και βιολογικών παραγόντων.

Πολλοί επιστήμονες έχουν την άποψη ότι ο σεξουαλικός προσανατολισμός παγιώνεται στους περισσότερους ανθρώπους σε μικρή ηλικία μέσα από περίπλοκες αλληλεπιδράσεις βιολογικών, ψυχολογικών και κοινωνικών παραγόντων

with the help of the Church

Some souls then descended from Hades to Paradise with the help of the Church, not alone and certainly not all ... now who and to what extent? Let us liken Hades with an ocean. In the light path of the water from the sea surface to a depth of Fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty rarely Thirty meters there is the so-called light beam, where the sun rays penetrate and even a little light there is. From then on down there Erebus, the actual the eternal darkness. So at this time (mean of Hell stay of non saved) there are as many souls to Hades to penetrate the Divine Liturgy and little -siga can raise more and more over. So once the series moves to Paradise

True Orthodox Christians is what=

He believes in the Trinity. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Has accepted and has confessed that Christ is the Son of God, God-Man Jesus, Emmanuel, and that is the Savior and Redeemer of mankind. Is baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and it is anointed with chrism, symbolizing the gifts and gifts of the Holy Spirit. With his life and deeds, he works every day prokoptei spiritually and remains a living cell body of the Church. They honor the Virgin Mary and our saints and worship the venerable image of the belief that the veneration goes the original.

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white vote with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it." (Book of Revelation 2:17). According to the Book of Revelation, the mark of the beast seems to be a form of money. "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding vote the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his (its) number is Six hundred threescore and six." (Book of Revelation 13:16-13:18)

Father Seraphfim Rose

“Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind”—is a rather daunting theme to talk about, because it is so vast and all-encompassing. It touches on the whole purpose of our lives as Orthodox Christians. Our Lord Jesus Christ said: I have chosen you out of the world (John 15:19). We have been called out of this world in order to become citizens of another world: the Kingdom of God. That Kingdom begins now, in this life, continues after we leave this world, and will reach its consummation at the Second Coming of our Savior. In order to dwell in that Kingdom, to be its citizens, we must be transformed. Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind (Rom. 12:2). These words from the Epistle of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Romans help to introduce a Divinely inspired teaching on spiritual transformation. In this talk, I will speak first about the theological meaning of transformation in the Orthodox Church. -In Orthodoxy, salvation means not simply changing God’s attitude, but changing ourselves and being changed by God. Salvation ultimately means deification; and deification, as we have seen, entails transformation. It is being united with God ever more fully through His Grace, His Uncreated Energy, in which He is fully present. As we participate ever more fully in God’s life through His Grace, we become ever more deified, ever more in the likeness of Christ. Then, at the time of our departure from this life, we can dwell forever with Christ in His Kingdom because we “look like Him” spiritually, because we are shining with the Grace of God.

εβραϊκή Καμπαλά:

Η Καμπάλα περιέχει τέτοια εξουσία και δαιμονική διδασκαλία, είναι περισσότερο από αρκετό για να δώσει την ιδεολογία και την κινητήρια δύναμη που χρειάζεται για να παραπλανά τον κόσμο και να κρατήσει ένα τέτοιο κακό συνωμοσία ζωντανή μέσα στους αιώνες ... Η Καμπάλα είναι πηγή διδασκαλίας των Ελευθεροτέκτονες, καθώς επίσης και για τις άλλες ομάδες. Καμπάλα: Τα ιερά βιβλία της μαύρης μαγείας του Ιουδαϊσμού που αποτελούν ένα μεγάλο μέρος της βάσης των δυτικών μυστικών εταιριών, από Ροδόσταυροι για Ελευθεροτεκτονισμό και την OTO. Καμπάλα είναι η ίδια που προέρχεται από τη μαγεία της αρχαίας Βαβυλώνας και ... Αίγυπτο φαραωνικού. Καμπάλα είναι ένα σύστημα του ιουδαϊκού μυστικισμού και μαγείας και είναι το θεμελιώδες στοιχείο της σύγχρονης μαγείας. Σχεδόν όλες οι μεγάλες μάγισσες και μάγοι αυτού του αιώνα ήταν Καβαλιστές. - William J. Schnoebelen, Η σκοτεινή πλευρά του Τεκτονισμού Η εβραϊκή Καμπάλα είναι μια σειρά από απόκρυφων συγγράμματα που είναι τόσο δαιμονική και κάθε ξόρκι που έγινε ποτέ στη μαγεία. Λεξικό Webster μας λέει η Καμπαλά είναι "μια απόκρυφη θρησκευτική φιλοσοφία που αναπτύχθηκε από ορισμένους Εβραίοι λόγιοι

επικράτηση των δυνάμεων Αντίχριστου, θα γίνουν οι σατανιστές, όταν έπεσε η "βροχή της φωτιάς", δηλαδή μετά τον 3ο παγκόσμιο πόλεμο και την καταστροφή που θα προκύψει από τα ισχυρά όπλα, πυρηνικά και αλλιώς. Στην πραγματικότητα, δεν θα επικρατήσει Αντίχριστος, αλλά μάλλον ανασταλεί κακό για αρκετά χρόνια. Ακριβώς αυτός ο πόλεμος θα φοβίσει τον κόσμο για να οδηγήσει μια βιαστική λύση σε ένα παγκόσμιο κυβέρνηση, όταν θα ξεκινήσει και πάλι αργότερα για να κάνουν τα όπλα των διαφόρων κρατών. τότε θα εκβιάσει τον κόσμο από τον Σατανά, έτσι για το καλό της ειρήνης απείλησε να εκλεγεί ως παγκόσμιος ηγέτης ο Αντίχριστος. Και παρατηρείται στην εποχή μας ότι αυτοί που καταστρέφουν την ειρήνη είναι εκείνοι που θέλουν τη Νέα Παγκόσμια Τάξη ... και "ειρήνη"!

Αυτό διακηρύττει καθαρά η Αγία Γραφή

Ο ισχυρισμός ότι οι χριστιανοί θα γλιτώσουν την Μεγάλη Θλίψη, επειδή θα αρπαγούν πριν την εμφάνιση του Αντίχριστου, επίσης δεν θεμελιώνεται από την Βίβλο. Η αλήθεια είναι πως οι χριστιανοί θα περάσουν μέσα από την Μεγάλη Θλίψη και την περίοδο κυριαρχίας του Αντίχριστου. Αυτό διακηρύττει καθαρά η Αγία Γραφή

Roman Catholicism has so far had a very distinct piety itself, a piety limited to the "sacred heart", the paposyni, purgatory and indulgences, revelations various "mystics", and the like; and an observant Orthodox observer can detect in such aspects of modern Latin spirituality the practical effects of Rome's theological errors. The fundamentalist (themeliokratikos) Protestantism also has its own approach to prayer, typical of hymns, his approach to religious "revival": all these can identify the application, the religious life of fundamentalist errors in Christian doctrine.

Όπου δεν υπάρχει αληθινή ταπείνωση, εκεί δεν υπάρχουν γνήσιες πνευματικές εμπειρίες. Όπου υπάρχει υπεροψία, εκεί βασιλεύει το πνεύμα της πλάνης, όχι το πνεύμα της αληθείας (Ιακ. δ' 6. Α' Πέτρ. ε' 5). Το πνεύμα της πλάνης είναι υπερήφανο. Η ταπεινή ψυχή παρακαλεί τον Θεό να της δώσει κατάνυξη και συναίσθηση της αμαρτωλότητός της, ακόμη και εάν ο Κύριος την ανεβάζει καθημερινά και της δείχνει ποικιλοτρόπως την αγάπη Του.

Antichrist evil spirit nowadays, knowing that the final time for the Antichrist and his devils is close, is doing everything possible to deceive man, by many manifestations, Aiming Virgin Mary and the Saints of God. Ο ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΜΑΣ ΠΡΟΕΙΔΟΠΟΙΗΣΕ ΓΙΑ "ΣΗΜΕΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΕΡΑΤΑ " ΠΡΙΝ ΤΗΝ ΕΠΟΧΗ ΤΟΥ ΑΝΤΙΧΡΙΣΤΟΥ.. ΟΛΟΙ ΑΥΤΟΙ ΟΙ ΨΕΥΔΟΠΡΟΦΗΤΕΣ ΑΠΛΩΣ ΠΡΟΕΤΟΙΜΑΖΟΥΝ ΤΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΙΑΝΟΥΣ ΓΙΑ ΤΟΝ ΨΕΥΤΙΚΟ ΧΡΙΣΤΟ..
