Three fierce yokes. Evil is growing...

“About the fate of the Russian state, in prayer, there was a revelation to me about three fierce yokes: the Tatar, the Polish, and the future one - the Jew. The Jew will scour the Russian land like a scorpion, plunder its shrines, close the churches of God, execute the best Russian people. This is the permission of God, the wrath of the Lord for Russia's renunciation of the holy Tsar.

But then the Russian hopes will come true. On Sophia, in Constantinople, the Orthodox cross will shine, Holy Rus' will be filled with the smoke of incense and prayers and will flourish, like a heavenly cry.

Monk-seer Abel, 1796

“There will be a tsar who will glorify me, after which there will be a great turmoil in Rus', a lot of blood will flow for rebelling against this tsar and the autocracy, but God will magnify the tsar ...

Before the birth of the Antichrist, there will be a great long war and a terrible revolution in Russia, exceeding any human imagination, for the bloodshed will be the most terrible. There will be the death of many people loyal to the fatherland, the looting of church property and monasteries; desecration of the churches of the Lord; destruction and plunder of the wealth of good people, rivers of Russian blood will be shed. But the Lord will have mercy on Russia and lead her through suffering to great glory ... "

“I, a wretched Seraphim, from the Lord God are supposed to live much more than a hundred years. But since by that time the Russian hierarchs have become so ungodly that their wickedness will surpass the Greek hierarchs during the time of Theodosius the Younger, so that even the most important dogma of Christ's Faith - the Resurrection of Christ and the general resurrection will not be believed, then therefore the Lord God is pleased until the time of me, the wretched Seraphim, from sowing premature life to take and then to resurrect the dogma of the Resurrection, and my resurrection will be like the resurrection of the seven youths in the cave of Okhlonskaya during the time of Theodosius the Youngest. After my resurrection, I will move from Sarov to Diveevo, where I will preach universal repentance.

“To me, a wretched Seraphim, the Lord revealed that there would be great disasters on the Russian land. The Orthodox faith will be trampled on, the bishops of the Church of God and other clerics will depart from the purity of Orthodoxy, and for this the Lord will severely punish them. I, poor Seraphim, for three days and three nights prayed to the Lord that he would better deprive me of the Kingdom of Heaven, and have mercy on them. But the Lord answered: “I will not have mercy on them: for they teach the doctrines of men, and with their tongue they honor Me, but their heart is far from Me”…

Any desire to change the rules and teachings of the Holy Church is heresy ... blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven. The bishops of the Russian land and the clergy will follow this path, and the wrath of God will strike them ... "

“But the Lord will not be completely angry and will not allow the Russian land to be destroyed to the end, because in it alone Orthodoxy and the remnants of Christian piety are still predominantly preserved ... We have the Orthodox faith, the Church, which has no vice. For the sake of these virtues, Russia will always be glorious and fearful and irresistible to enemies, having faith and piety - the gates of hell will not overcome these.

“Before the end of time, Russia will merge into one great sea with other Slavic lands and tribes, it will form one sea or that vast universal ocean of the people, about which the Lord God from ancient times spoke through the lips of all the saints: “Terrible and invincible Kingdom of All Russia, pan-Slavic - Gog and Magog before whom all nations will tremble.” And all this is the same as twice two makes four, and without fail, as God is holy, who from ancient times foretold about him and his formidable dominion over the earth. By the combined forces of Russia and other nations, Constantinople and Jerusalem will be filled. When Turkey is divided, almost all of it will remain with Russia ... "

Venerable Seraphim of Sarov, 1825-32

“European peoples have always envied Russia and tried to harm her. Naturally, they will follow the same system for future centuries. But the Russian God is great. We must pray to the great God that He preserve the spiritual and moral strength of our people - the Orthodox faith ... Judging by the spirit of the times and the ferment of minds, it must be assumed that the building of the Church, which has been shaking for a long time, will shake terribly and quickly. There is no one to stop and resist ...

The current retreat is allowed by God: do not try to stop it with your weak hand. Remove yourself, protect yourself from it: and that is enough for you. Familiarize yourself with the spirit of the times, study it in order to avoid its influence as far as possible...

Constant reverence for the destinies of God is necessary for proper spiritual living. Into this reverence and obedience to God one must lead oneself by faith. The Providence of Almighty God vigilantly watches over the destinies of the world and every person, and everything that happens is done either by the will or by the permission of God...

No one will change the predestinations of the Providence of God about Russia. The Holy Fathers of the Orthodox Church (for example, St. Andrew of Crete in the interpretation of the Apocalypse, chapter 20) predict Russia's extraordinary civil development and power ... And our disasters should be more moral and spiritual.

Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov, 1865

“If in Russia, for the sake of contempt of the Commandments of God and for the sake of weakening the rules and regulations of the Orthodox Church, and for other reasons, piety becomes impoverished, then the final fulfillment of what is said in the Apocalypse of John the Theologian must inevitably follow”

Rev. Ambrose of Optina, 1871.

“Modern Russian society has become a mental desert. A serious attitude to thought has disappeared, every living source of inspiration has dried up... The most extreme conclusions of the most one-sided Western thinkers are boldly presented as the last word of enlightenment...

How many signs the Lord showed over Russia, delivering her from the strongest enemies and subjugating her nations! And yet, evil is growing. Shall we not come to our senses? The West has punished us, and the Lord will punish us, but we are not taken into account. We got stuck in the mud of the western up to our ears, and all is well. There are eyes, but we don’t see, there are ears, but we don’t hear, and we don’t understand with our hearts ... Having inhaled this hellish fumes into ourselves, we are spinning like crazy, not remembering ourselves.

“If we don’t come to our senses, the Lord will send us foreign teachers to bring us to our senses ... It turns out that we are on the path of revolution. These are not empty words, but a deed affirmed by the voice of the Church. Know, Orthodox, that God cannot be mocked.”

“Evil is growing, malevolence and unbelief are raising their heads, faith and Orthodoxy are weakening… Well, should we sit back? No! Silent shepherding - what kind of shepherd? We need hot books, defensive against all evils. It is necessary to dress up hacks and oblige them to write... It is necessary to stop the freedom of ideas... To declare disbelief a state crime. Prohibit material views on pain of death!”

Saint Theophan the Recluse, 1894

“The Mother of God saved Russia many times. If Russia has stood until now, it is only thanks to the Queen of Heaven. And now what a difficult time we are going through! Now the universities are filled with Jews, Poles, and there is no place for Russians! How can the Queen of Heaven help such people? What have we come to!

Our intelligentsia is simply stupid. Ignorant, stupid people! Russia, represented by the intelligentsia and part of the people, became unfaithful to the Lord, forgot all His blessings, fell away from him, became worse than any foreign, even pagan people. You forgot God and left Him, and He left you to His paternal Providence and gave you into the hands of unbridled, wild arbitrariness. Christians who do not believe in God, who act together with the Jews, who do not care what faith: with the Jews they are Jews, with the Poles they are Poles - those are not Christians, and will perish if they do not repent ... "

“Shepherd rulers, what have you made of your flock? The Lord will seek His sheep at Your hands!.. He primarily oversees the behavior of bishops and priests, their educational, clerical, pastoral activities... The current terrible decline in faith and morals depends very much on the coldness towards their flocks of many hierarchs and the priestly rank in general.

“How many enemies our Fatherland has now! Our enemies, you know who: the Jews... May the Lord end our misfortunes, by His great mercy! And you, friends, stand firmly for the Tsar, honor, love him, love the Holy Church and the Fatherland, and remember that autocracy is the only condition for the prosperity of Russia; there will be no Autocracy - there will be no Russia; the Jews who hate us so much will take power!”

“But All-good Providence will not leave Russia in this sad and disastrous state. It righteously punishes and leads to rebirth. God's righteous destinies are being committed over Russia. She is forged by misfortunes and misfortunes. It is not in vain that He who rules over all nations skillfully, aptly places on His anvil those who are subjected to His strong hammer. Brace yourself, Russia! But repent, pray, cry bitter tears before your heavenly Father, whom you have immensely angered! crucible.

But do not be afraid and do not be afraid, brethren, let the seditious Satanists console themselves for a moment with their hellish successes: judgment from God will not touch them, and death will not sleep from them (2 Peter 2.3). The right hand of the Lord will find all those who hate us and righteously avenge us. Therefore, let us not give in to despondency, seeing everything that is now happening in the world ... "

“I foresee the restoration of a powerful Russia, even stronger and more powerful. On the bones of the martyrs, as on a strong foundation, a new Rus' will be erected - according to the old model; strong in your faith in Christ God and in the Holy Trinity! And it will be according to the testament of the Holy Prince Vladimir - as a single Church! The Russian people have ceased to understand what Rus' is: it is the foot of the Throne of the Lord! A Russian person should understand this and thank God for being Russian.”

Holy Righteous Father John of Kronstadt. 1906–1908

Everyone goes against Russia

“The persecution and torment of the first Christians may be repeated ... Hell is destroyed, but not destroyed, and the time will come when it will make itself felt. This time is not far off...

We will live to terrible times, but the grace of God will cover us... The Antichrist is clearly coming into the world, but this is not recognized in the world. The whole world is under the influence of some kind of force that takes possession of the mind, will and all spiritual qualities of a person. It is an outside force, an evil force. Its source is the devil, and evil people are only an instrument through which it operates. These are the forerunners of the Antichrist.

In the Church we don't have living prophets now, but there are signs. They are given to us for the knowledge of times. They are clearly visible to people who have a spiritual mind. But this is not recognized in the world... Everyone goes against Russia, that is, against the Church of Christ, for the Russian people are God-bearers, the true faith of Christ is kept in them.”

Venerable Barsanuphius of Optina, 1910

“Heresies will spread everywhere and deceive many. The enemy of the human race will act by cunning, in order, if possible, to incline even the elect to heresy. He will not rudely reject the dogmas of the Holy Trinity, the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the dignity of the Mother of God, but will imperceptibly distort the teachings of the Church transmitted by the Holy Fathers from the Holy Spirit, and his very spirit and statutes, and these tricks of the enemy will be noticed only by a few, the most skillful in spiritual life. .

Heretics will take power over the Church, they will place their servants everywhere, and piety will be neglected... Therefore, my son, as you see violations of the Divine rank in the Church, patristic tradition and the order established by God, know that heretics have already appeared, although, perhaps, and they will hide their wickedness until the time comes, or they will imperceptibly distort the Divine faith in order to succeed even more, deceiving and luring the inexperienced into the network.

There will be persecution not only against pastors, but also against all the servants of God, for the demon who leads heresy does not tolerate piety. Recognize them, these wolves in sheep's clothing, by their proud disposition and lust for power...

Woe will be in those days to the monks who have committed themselves to property and wealth and are ready to submit to heretics for the love of peace... Do not be afraid of sorrow, but be afraid of pernicious heresy, for it exposes from grace and separates from Christ...

There will be a storm. And the Russian ship will be broken. But after all, even on chips and debris, people are saved. And yet, not everyone will die. We must pray, we must all repent and pray fervently... A great miracle of God will be revealed... And all the chips and fragments, by the will of God and His power, will gather and unite, and the ship will be recreated in all its glory and will go its own way, intended by God ... "

Reverend Anatoly of Optina. 1917

“Now we are living through the pre-Tichrist time. The judgment of God over the living has begun and there will not be a single country on earth, not a single person who will not be touched by this. It started with Russia, and then further ...

And Russia will be saved. Lots of pain, lots of pain. It is necessary to suffer much and much and to repent deeply for everyone. Only repentance through suffering will save Russia. All of Russia will become a prison, and one must beg the Lord for forgiveness a lot. Repent of sins and be afraid to commit even the slightest sins, but try to do good, even the smallest. After all, even the wing of a fly has weight, but God has accurate scales. And when the smallest thing outweighs the good on the cup, then God will show His mercy over Russia ...

But first, God will take away all the leaders so that the Russian people look only at Him. Everyone will abandon Russia, other powers will abandon it, leaving it to itself. This is so that the Russian people trust in the help of the Lord. Hear that in other countries unrest will begin and similar to that in Russia (during the revolution - ed.), And you will hear about wars and there will be wars - now, the time is near. But don't be afraid of anything. The Lord will show His wonderful mercy.

The end will be through China. There will be some unusual explosion, and a miracle of God will appear. And there will be a completely different life on earth, but not for a very long time. The Cross of Christ will shine over the whole world, because our Motherland will be exalted and will be like a beacon in the darkness for everyone.”

Schieeromonk Aristokliy Athos. 1917-18

“Russia will rise up and will not be materially rich, but rich in spirit, and in Optina there will be 7 more lamps, 7 pillars. If even a few faithful Orthodox remain in Russia, God will have mercy on her. And we have such righteous people.”

Venerable Nektarios of Optina, 1920

“You ask me about the near future and about the coming end times. I do not speak about this from myself, but what was revealed to me by the elders. The coming of the Antichrist is approaching and is already very close. The time separating us from his coming can be measured in years, at most in decades. But before his arrival, Russia must be reborn, albeit for a short time. And the king there will be chosen by the Lord Himself. And he will be a man of ardent faith, deep mind and iron will. This is what was revealed to us about him, we will wait for the fulfillment of this revelation. Judging by many signs, it is coming; except that because of our sins, the Lord will cancel it and change His promise.”

“The monarchy, autocratic power will be restored in Russia. The Lord has chosen the future king. This will be a man of fiery faith, a brilliant mind and an iron will. He will first of all restore order in the Orthodox Church, removing all untrue, heretical and lukewarm bishops. And many, very many, with few exceptions, almost all will be eliminated, and new, true, unshakable bishops will take their place ... Something that no one expects will happen. Russia will rise from the dead, and the whole world will be surprised.

Orthodoxy will be reborn and triumph in it. But the Orthodoxy that was before will no longer be. God Himself will put a strong king on the throne.

Saint Theophan of Poltava, 1930

A thunderstorm will pass over the Russian Land.
The Lord will forgive the Russian people their sins
And the Holy Cross of divine beauty
On God's temples will shine again.
Monasteries everywhere will be reopened
And faith in God will unite everyone
And the bell ringing of all our Holy Rus'
From sinful sleep to salvation will awaken.
Dangerous hardships subside
Russia will defeat its enemies.
And the name of the Russian, great people
Like thunder throughout the universe will rumble!

Rev. Seraphim Vyritsky, 1943

“Russian people will repent of mortal sins that they allowed Jewish wickedness in Russia, did not protect the Anointed of God - the king, Orthodox churches and monasteries, a host of martyrs and confessors of saints and all Russian saints. They despised piety and loved demonic wickedness...

When a little freedom appears, churches will be opened, monasteries will be repaired, then all false teachings will come out. In Ukraine, they will strongly take up arms against the Russian Church, its unity and catholicity. This heretical group will be supported by a godless power. The Metropolitan of Kiev, who is not worthy of this title, will greatly shake the Russian Church, and he himself will go into eternal perdition, like Judas. But all these slanders of the evil one in Russia will disappear, and there will be a One Orthodox Russian Church ...

Russia, together with all the Slavic peoples and lands, will constitute a mighty kingdom. He will be nourished by the Orthodox Tsar - God's Anointed One. All schisms and heresies will disappear in Russia. Jews from Russia will leave to meet the Antichrist in Palestine, and there will not be a single Jew in Russia. There will be no persecution of the Orthodox Church.

The Lord will have mercy on Holy Rus' because it had a terrible and terrible time before Antichrist. A great regiment of confessors and martyrs shone forth… All of them implore the Lord God, the King of Forces, the King of Kings, in the Most Holy Trinity of the glorious Father and Son and Holy Spirit. You need to know for sure that Russia is the lot of the Queen of Heaven and she cares about her and intercedes purely for her. The whole host of Russian saints with the Mother of God are asked to spare Russia.

In Russia there will be a flourishing of faith and the former rejoicing (only for a short time, for the Terrible Judge will come to judge the living and the dead). Even the Antichrist himself will be afraid of the Russian Orthodox Tsar. Under the Antichrist, Russia will be the most powerful kingdom in the world. And all the other countries, except Russia and the Slavic lands, will be under the rule of the Antichrist and will experience all the horrors and torments written in the Holy Scriptures

The Third World War will no longer be for repentance, but for extermination. Where it passes, there will be no people. There will be such strong bombs that iron will burn, stones will melt. Fire and smoke with dust will reach the sky. And the earth will burn. They will fight and two or three states will remain. There will be very few people left and then they will start shouting: Down with the war! Let's choose one! Install one king! They will choose a king who will be born of a prodigal virgin of the twelfth generation. And the Antichrist will sit on the throne in Jerusalem.”

Rev. Lawrence of Chernigov. Late 1940s

Russia is waiting for God!

In 1959, the journal of the Canadian branch of the Orthodox Brotherhood of St. Job of Pochaevsky's "Orthodox Review" published a vision of an elder, told by him to Bishop Vitaly (Ustinov) of Canada, who later became Metropolitan of ROCOR. This old man in a thin dream saw the Lord, who said to him:

“Behold, I will glorify Orthodoxy in the Russian land, and from there it will shine on the whole world ... The Commune will disappear and scatter like dust from the wind. It is allowed to make in Russia one people with one heart and one soul. Having cleansed it with fire, I will make it My people... Behold, I will stretch out My right hand and Orthodoxy from Russia will shine on the whole world. The time will come when the children there will carry stones on their shoulders to build temples. My hand is strong and there is no such power either in heaven or on earth that would resist it.

In 1992, the book “The Last Destinies of Russia and the World. Brief review of prophecies and predictions. In particular, it contains the following prediction made in a conversation by one of the modern elders in September 1990: “The last days of the West, its wealth, its depravity, have approached. Sudden disaster and ruin will befall him. His wealth is unrighteous, evil, oppresses the whole world, and his debauchery is like the depravity of a new and worse Sodom. Its science and technology are the madness of the new, second Babylon. His pride is apostate, satanic pride. All his deeds are for the needs of the Antichrist. He was possessed by "the assembly of Satan" (Ap. 2.9).

God's fiery wrath on the West, on her Babylon! And you raise your heads and rejoice, sufferers of God and all the good, the humble, who endured evil in their hope in God! Rejoice, long-suffering Orthodox people, the stronghold of the East of God, who suffered according to the will of God for the whole world. To you, for the sake of those chosen in you, God will give strength to fulfill the great and final promise of the Son of his Only Begotten Beloved about the last preaching of His Gospel in the world before the end of the world, as a testimony to all peoples!

The arrogance and gloating of the West about the present disasters of Russia will turn even greater wrath of God on the West. After “perestroika” in Russia, “perestroika” will begin in the West as well, and an unprecedented strife will open there: civil strife, famine, unrest, the fall of power, collapse, anarchy, pestilence, famine, cannibalism - unprecedented horrors of evil and depravity accumulated in the souls. The Lord will give them to reap what they sowed for many centuries and by which they oppressed and corrupted the whole world. And all their wickedness will rise up against them.

Russia withstood its temptation, for it had within itself the faith of martyrdom, the mercy of God and His election. But the West does not have this and therefore will not stand it ...

Russia is waiting for God!

The Russian people need only a leader, a shepherd - a Tsar chosen by God. And he will go with him to any feat! Only the Anointed One of God will give the highest and strongest unity to the Russian people!”

Archbishop Seraphim of Chicago and Detroit (1959): “The Lord recently, during my first pilgrimage to Palestine, honored me, a sinner, to get acquainted with some new, hitherto unknown prophecies that throw new light on the fate of Russia. These prophecies were accidentally discovered by a learned Russian monk in ancient Greek manuscripts kept in an ancient Greek monastery.

Unknown Holy Fathers of the 8th and 9th centuries, that is, contemporaries of St. John of Damascus, in such, approximately, words, these prophecies captured: “After the God-chosen Jewish people, having betrayed their Messiah and Redeemer to torment and shameful death, lost their chosenness, the latter passed to the Hellenes, who became the second God-chosen people.

The great Eastern Fathers of the Church honed Christian dogmas and created a coherent system of Christian doctrine. This is the great merit of the Greek people. However, to build a harmonious social and state life on this solid Christian foundation, the Byzantine statehood lacks creative forces and opportunities. The scepter of the Orthodox Kingdom falls from the weakening hands of the Byzantine emperors, who failed to realize the symphony of Church and State.

Therefore, the Lord Provider will send a third God-chosen people to replace the decrepit spiritually chosen Greek people. This people will appear in the North in a hundred or two years (these prophecies were written in Palestine 150-200 years before the Baptism of Rus' - Archbishop Seraphim), will accept Christianity with all their hearts, will try to live according to the commandments of Christ and seek, according to the instructions of Christ the Savior, first of all Kingdom of God and His Righteousness. For this jealousy, the Lord God will love this people and add everything else to them - large expanses of land, wealth, state power and glory.

Due to human weakness, this great people will more than once fall into great sins, and for this they will be punished with no small trials. In a thousand years, even this God-chosen people will waver in faith and, in standing up for the Truth of Christ, will become proud of their earthly power and glory, will stop worrying about seeking the City of the future and will want paradise not in heaven, but on sinful earth.

However, not all of that people will follow this disastrous wide path, although a significant majority of them, especially the stratum leading them. And for this great fall, a terrible fiery test will be sent from above to this people, despising God's ways. Rivers of blood will spill over his land, brother will kill brother, hunger will visit this land more than once and gather its terrible harvest, almost all temples and other shrines will be destroyed or desecrated, many people will die.

Part of this people, not wanting to put up with lawlessness and untruth, will leave their native borders and disperse, like the Jewish people, throughout the world (isn't this about us, Russian foreigners, is it said? - Archbishop Seraphim).

Yet the Lord will not be completely angry with His third chosen people. The blood of thousands of martyrs will cry out to heaven for mercy. The people themselves will begin to sober up and return to God. Finally, the period of purifying trial determined by the Just Judge will pass away, and holy Orthodoxy will again shine with the bright light of rebirth in those northern expanses.

This wondrous light of Christ will illuminate from there and enlighten all the peoples of the world, which will be helped by the providentially sent in advance to the dispersion of this people, which will build the centers of Orthodoxy - the temples of God - all over the world.

Christianity will then reveal itself in all its heavenly beauty and fullness. Most of the peoples of the world will become Christians. For some time, a prosperous and peaceful Christian life will reign in the entire sublunar world ...

And then? Then, when the fulfillment of times comes, a complete decline of faith and other things predicted in Holy Scripture will begin all over the world, the Antichrist will appear and, finally, the end of the world will come.

All enemies of Orthodoxy will be destroyed

In 2001, a group of Samara priests and laity, led by their archpastor, Archbishop Sergius, visited the Holy Mountain. Impressions from this pilgrimage were published in the first issue of the Orthodox almanac "Spiritual Interlocutor" for 2002. Often, during meetings with the inhabitants of Svyatogorsk, the discussion turned to the fate of Russia.

In particular, in the Greek monastery Vatopedi, the 85-year-old elder monk Joseph (Joseph Jr.), a disciple of the famous Joseph the Hesychast, who died in Bose, especially received the Samara bishop. This ascetic now lives in a cell not far from the monastery and takes care of the monastery. Father Kirion, who accompanied Vladyka as an interpreter, spoke as follows after this meeting:

“The elder has grace written on his face. He told us about the fate of the world and the coming terrible events. The Lord endured our iniquities for a long time, as before the great flood, but now the limit of God's long-suffering is coming - the time for purification has come. The cup of God's wrath is overflowing. The Lord will allow suffering for the destruction of the wicked and theomachists - all those who have created modern turmoil, poured out dirt and infected the people. The Lord will allow that they will destroy each other with blinded minds. There will be many victims and blood. But believers do not need to be afraid, although there will be sorrowful days for them, there will be as many sorrows as the Lord allows for purification. There is no need to be afraid of this. Then there will be a surge of piety in Russia and throughout the world. The Lord will cover his. People will return to God.

We are already on the threshold of these events. Now everything begins, then the atheists will have the next stage, but they will not be able to carry out their plans, the Lord will not allow it. The elder said that after a surge of piety, the end of earthly history would be near.”

The elder did not deprive other Russian pilgrims of his conversation either.

“We pray,” he told them, “for the Russian people to return to their normal state, which was before the destruction, because we have common roots and are worried about the situation of the Russian people ...

This deterioration is now the general condition throughout the world. And this state is exactly the limit, after which the wrath of God already begins. We have reached this limit. The Lord only endured by His mercy, and now he will not endure, but by His righteousness he will begin to punish, because the time has come.

There will be wars and we will experience great hardships. Now the Jews have seized power all over the world, and their goal is to eradicate Christianity. The wrath of God will be such that all the secret enemies of Orthodoxy will be destroyed. Especially for this, the wrath of God is sent to destroy them.

Trials should not terrify us, we should always have hope in God. After all, thousands, millions of martyrs suffered in the same way, and the New Martyrs suffered in the same way, and therefore we must be prepared for this and not be horrified. Patience, prayer and hope in the Providence of God must be. Let us pray for the revival of Christianity after all that awaits us, so that the Lord would really give us the strength to be reborn. But this harm must be endured ...

Tests have long begun, and we must wait for the big bang. But after that, there will be a revival ...

Now the beginning of events, difficult military events. The engine of this evil is the Jews. The devil compels them to start in order to destroy the seed of Orthodoxy in Greece and in Russia. For them, this is the main obstacle to world domination. And they will force the Turks to come here to Greece and begin their actions. And Greece, although it has a government, but as such, in fact, it does not exist, as it were, because it has no power. And the Turks will come here. This will be the moment when Russia, too, will move its forces to push back the Turks.

Events will develop as follows: when Russia comes to the aid of Greece, the Americans and NATO will try to prevent this, so that there is no reunification, no merging of the two Orthodox peoples. They will also raise more forces - the Japanese and other peoples. There will be a great massacre on the territory of the former Byzantine Empire. Only the dead will be about 600 million people. The Vatican will also actively participate in all this in order to prevent the reunification and the growth of the role of Orthodoxy. But this will result in the complete destruction of the Vatican influence, to the very foundation. This is how the Providence of God will turn…

There will be God's permission to destroy those who sow temptations: pornography, drug addiction, etc. And the Lord will blind their minds so much that they will destroy each other with gluttony. The Lord will allow it on purpose to do a big purge. As for the one who rules the country, he will not last long, and what is happening now will not be long, and then immediately the war. But after this great purge, there will be a revival of Orthodoxy not only in Russia, but throughout the world, a great upsurge of Orthodoxy.

The Lord will give His favor, grace as it was at the beginning, in the first centuries, when people with an open heart went to the Lord. This will last three or four decades, and then the dictatorship of the Antichrist will quickly come. These are the terrible events we must go through, but let them not terrify us, because the Lord will cover His own. Yes, indeed, we are experiencing difficulties, hunger and even persecution, and much more, but the Lord will not leave His own. And those who are placed in power should force their subjects to be more with the Lord, to abide more in prayer, and the Lord will cover His own. But after the big purge, there will be a big revival…”

The pilgrims also heard about another amazing revelation. He told them about him, with the blessing of the elders, a novice of the Russian St. Panteleimon Monastery George:

“The vision was revealed this year to one inhabitant of the Holy Mount Athos on the day of the murder of the royal family - the seventeenth of July. Let his name remain a secret, but this is a miracle that can amaze the whole world. He consulted with the elders of Athos, thinking that perhaps this was spiritual delusion, but they said that this was a revelation.

He saw a huge, enormous ship thrown onto the rocks in semi-darkness. He sees that the ship is called "Russia". The ship tilts and is about to crash off the cliff into the sea. There are thousands and thousands of people on the ship who are in a panic. They already think that the end of their life should come, there is nowhere to wait for help. And suddenly a figure of a rider appears on the horizon, he rushes on a horse right across the sea. The closer the horseman, the more clearly it is seen that this is our Sovereign.

He, as always, is dressed simply - in a soldier's cap, in a soldier's uniform, but insignia are visible. His face was bright and kind, and his eyes said that he loved the whole world and suffered for this world, for Orthodox Rus'. A bright beam from the sky illuminates the Sovereign, and at that moment the ship smoothly descends into the water and lays down on its course. On the ship you can see the great rejoicing of the saved people, which cannot be described.

“... Something that no one expects will happen. Russia will rise from the dead, and the whole world will be surprised. Orthodoxy will be reborn and triumph in it…”

Saint Theophan of Poltava

Lavrentiy Chernigovskiy:predictions about a schism in the Ukrainian Church and a warning about loyalty to the Moscow Patriarchate — Prophecies about the future of Russia and Ukraine (Seraphim of Sarov, Anatoly Optinsky (Potapov), John of Kronstadt, Seraphim Vyritsky, Lavrenty of Chernigov, Seraphim Tyapochkin, etc.) — Retreat of the Episcopate — Eighth Ecumenical Council — About the Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II and the nationwide repentance for the sin of regicide - About the future Tsar

Lavrentiy Chernigovskiy on the schism in the Ukrainian Church and loyalty to the Moscow Patriarchate

“When a little freedom appears, churches and monasteries will be opened and they will be repaired, then all false teachings will come out together with demons and secret atheists (Catholics, Uniates, Ukrainians – self-consecrated and others) and will strongly take up arms in Ukraine against the Orthodox Russian Church, its unity and conciliarity. These heretics will be supported by the godless authorities, and therefore they will be taken away from the Orthodox churches and the faithful will be beaten.

Then the Metropolitan of Kiev (unworthy of this title), together with his like-minded bishops and priests, will greatly shake the Russian Church. The whole world will marvel at his iniquity and be terrified. He himself will go to eternal death, like Judas.

But all these slanders of the evil one and false teachings will disappear in Russia, and there will be a single Russian Orthodox Church».

The Monk Lawrence spoke insistently and sternly, with a warning that our native word is Rus and Russian. And it is imperative to know, remember and not forget that there was the Baptism of Rus', and not the baptism of Ukraine. Kyiv is the second Jerusalem and the mother of Russian cities. Kievan Rus was together with Great Russia. Kyiv without great Russia and separately from Russia is unthinkable in any case and in no case...

Venerable Theodosius, hegumen of Kiev-Pechersk, wrote that we should not praise someone else's faith and in no case unite with Catholics and not leave the Orthodox Faith. Close in spirit, the great Archbishops Lazar Baranovich and St. Theodosius of Chernigov - his own relics are before us (saying this, Father Lavrenty bowed to the ground in the direction of the Cathedral), and St. John, Metropolitan of Tobolsk - they tried with all their might according to the word of the Lord Jesus "Let all be one" to be with Orthodox Russia in order to make up Holy Rus' together. And in order to be forever freed from Polish domination and from the oppression of the Jews and their rent, and to get rid of Catholicism alien to us and soul-destroying union, introduced and planted by threats, torture, violence and death. And Father said: « Just as it is impossible to separate the Most Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, this is One God, so it is impossible to divide Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Together they are Holy Rus'. Know, remember and don't forget.

The city of Kyiv has never had a Patriarch. Patriarchs were and lived in Moscow. Beware of self-consecrated Ukrainian group (church) and union "...

“The devil will enter them and they will take up arms with satanic malice against the Orthodox Faith and the Church, but they will have a shameful end, and their followers will suffer heavenly punishment from the Lord the King of Forces” ...

Batiushka warned us to be faithful to the Moscow Patriarchate and in no case enter into any schism. That those bishops and priests who led the faithful people into confusion did great harm to themselves and destroyed many Orthodox souls ...

Our long-suffering Church survived in a godless state. To her honor and glory and eternal praise! ..

The Free Church is a heretical name. We have all Orthodox churches and monasteries, including those closed and desecrated.

Only the unworthy of God's mercy and great sinners go into schism and heresy. who don't want to know: “I believe in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church!” And that the Orthodox Church is the Body of Christ (is it possible to divide the Body of Christ?), and, finally, the Church is the unseamless tunic of the Lord (which, like Arius, cannot be torn apart).

And they don't remember that There is one God, one faith and one baptism.

The Lord Jesus Christ created one Church (not churches), which the gates of hell cannot prevail. There is only one Orthodox Church, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Others who call themselves churches are not churches, but the tares of the devil among the wheat and the crowd of the devil.».

At these words, the priest prayed for all those who had gone astray and apostatized from orthodoxy, wept and said: “No, the Lord will not call them to repentance, they will not be saved, for they are not worthy of God's mercy. This has been revealed to me by the Queen of Heaven and the holy Guardian Angel.”

“In them, who have gone astray and deviated from orthodoxy, there is no grace of the Holy Spirit, salvation and receipt of the Kingdom of Heaven. We, the Orthodox, do not need anything, but only the Orthodox Faith, the salvation of the soul and the receipt of the Kingdom of Heaven, and our Mother, the Russian Orthodox Church, has it all. Thank the Lord! And to break away and depart from it is the greatest and unforgivable sin, neither in this life nor in the future - this is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

Prophecies about the future of Russia and Ukraine

“Everything that bears the name of “Decembrists”, “reformers” and, in a word, belongs to the “life-improving party” is true anti-Christianity, which, developing, will lead to the destruction of Christianity on earth and partly of Orthodoxy and will end with the reign of the Antichrist over all countries of the world, except for Russia, which will merge into one whole with other Slavic countries and will form a vast people's ocean, before which the other tribes of the earth will be in fear. And this is as true as two times two makes four.

“There will be a tsar who will glorify me, after which there will be a great turmoil in Rus', a lot of blood will flow for rebelling against this tsar and his autocracy, all those who rebelled will perish, and God will magnify the tsar ...

They will wait until such a time when it will be very difficult for the Russian Land without that, and on one day and at one hour, having agreed in advance that they will raise a general revolt in all places of the Russian Land, and, since many of the employees will then themselves participate in their malevolence, then there will be no one to appease them, and at first a lot of innocent blood will be shed, its rivers will flow across the Russian Land, many nobles, and the clergy, and merchants, disposed towards the Sovereign, will be killed ... "

Saint Seraphim of Sarov in 1832 predicted not only the fall of the Tsar's power, but also the moment of its restoration and the resurrection of Russia: “... But when the Russian Land is divided and one side will obviously remain with the rebels, the other will obviously become behind Sovereign and the Fatherland and the Holy Church - and Sovereign and the Lord will keep the entire royal family invisible right hand and give complete victory to those who take up arms for him for the Church and for the benefit of the indivisibility of the Russian Land - but not so much blood will be shed here as when the right Sovereign the party that has become will receive victory and catch all the traitors and deliver them into the hands of Justice, then no one will be sent to Siberia, but everyone will be executed, and here even more blood will be shed, but this blood will be the last, cleansing blood, because after that The Lord will bless His people with peace and exalt His Anointed David, His servant, a Man after His own heart.

** — Life, prophecies, akathists and canons to the holy royal martyrs. Rus' Autocratic, 2005

Holy Righteous John of Kronstadt (1829-1908) about the restoration of Rus', he said: “Russia is restless, suffering and tormented by godlessness, lack of authority. But all-good providence will not leave Russia in this sad and disastrous state. It - providence - righteously punishes Russia and leads to rebirth. God's righteous destinies are being committed over Russia... Be strong, Russia, but also repent, pray, cry bitter tears before your heavenly Father, Whom you have angered immensely...

I foresee the restoration of a powerful Russia, even stronger and more powerful. On the bones of such martyrs, rememberas if on a solid foundation, new Rus' will be erected - in the old fashion; strong in her faith in Christ God and the Holy Trinity! And it will be according to the testament of the Holy Prince Vladimir - as a single Church! The Russian people have ceased to understand what Rus' is: it is the footstool of the throne of the Lord! A Russian person should understand this and thank God for being Russian.

Do not be afraid and do not be afraid, brethren, let the seditious Satanists console themselves for a moment with their hellish successes: their judgment is from God "does not touch, and their death does not sleep"(2 Peter 2:3). The right hand of the Lord will find all those who hate us and will avenge us righteously."I have vengeance, I will repay" says the Lord (Heb. 10:30). Therefore, let us not indulge in despondency, seeing everything that is now happening in the world!

The Lord, like a skilled physician, subjects us to various temptations, sorrows, illnesses and troubles in order to purify us like gold in the furnace. The soul, stagnant in sins of all kinds, does not easily lend itself to cleansing and healing, but with great coercion and astringency, and only through a long experience of patience and suffering, does it become accustomed to virtue and begins to passionately love God, Whom it was a stranger to, having learned all the sins of the flesh. This is the purpose of troubles and sorrows sent to us by God in this life. They are needed, both by individuals and by the whole people, mired in wickedness and vices. The Russian people and other tribes inhabiting Russia are deeply corrupted, the crucible of temptation and disaster is necessary for everyone, and the Lord, who does not want anyone to perish, burns everyone in this crucible.

“Return, Russia, to your holy, immaculate, saving, victorious faith and to the holy Church - your mother - and you will be victorious and glorious, as in the old believing time ...

There is no doubt that all Russians who have fallen away from the faith and the Church will break like clay pots. (vessels are scant, - ps.2), if they do not convert and repent, and the Church remains unshakable until the end of the age ...

Hold fast, Russia, firmly to your faith and the Church, and the Orthodox tsar, if you want to be unshakable by people of unbelief and lack of authority and do not want to lose the kingdom and the Orthodox tsar. And if you fall away from your faith, as many intellectuals have already fallen away from it, then you will no longer be Russia, or holy Russia, but a rabble of all sorts of non-believers striving to exterminate each other. Remember the words of Christ to the unfaithful Jews: the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to the tongue ( people), who produces its fruits (Matt. 21:42-43).

Our Father, Who art in heaven! May Your name be hallowed in Russia! You instill in her the true, life-giving faith! Let it be reigning and dominating in Russia, and not equated with confessions of other faiths and infidels. Let there be no such equation with the unbelievers, who do not have a true confession! Truth cannot be compared with lies and the truth of faith with wrong confessions. "The truth of the Lord endures forever"(Ps. 116, 2) "**.

** Quotes from the book: "Life, prophecies, akathists and canons to the holy royal martyrs." Rus' Autocratic, 2005

1855- 1922 ) back in February 1917 he predicted: “There will be a storm, and the Russian ship will be wrecked. But after all, both on chips and on the wreckage, people are saved. And yet, not everyone will die. We must pray, we must all repent and pray fervently... A great miracle of God will be manifested, yes... and all the chips and fragments, by the will of God and His power, will gather and unite and the ship will be recreated in its beauty and will go its own way, God intended. So this will be a miracle that is obvious to everyone. (“Life, prophecies, akathists and canons to the holy royal martyrs.” Autocratic Rus, 2005).

... Heresies are spreading everywhere and will deceive many. The enemy of the human race will act by cunning, in order, if possible, to incline even the elect to heresy. He will not rudely reject the dogmas of the Holy Trinity, the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the dignity of the Mother of God, but will imperceptibly distort the teachings of the Church transmitted by the Holy Fathers from the Holy Spirit, and its very spirit, and the statutes, and these tricks of the enemy will be noticed only by a few, the most skillful in spiritual life. . Heretics will take power over the Church, they will place their servants everywhere, and piety will be neglected. He (the Lord) said: "... You will know them by their fruits," - and here you are, by these fruits, or, which is also, by the action of heretics, try to distinguish them from true shepherds. These are spiritual thieves (thieves), plundering the spiritual flock, and they will enter the sheepfold - the Church, climbing through the other way: as the Lord said, that is, they will enter in an unlawful way, using violence and violating God's statutes. The Lord calls them robbers (John 10:1). Really. Their first act will be the persecution of true shepherds, their imprisonment, exile, because without this it will be impossible for them to plunder the sheep (flock). Therefore, my son, when you see the violation of the Divine Order in the Church, of patristic tradition and the order established by God, know that heretics have already appeared, although perhaps they will hide their wickedness for the time being or will distort the Divine faith imperceptibly, in order to even more be in time, seducing and luring the inexperienced in the network. The persecution will be not only on the shepherds, but also on all the servants of God, for the demon leading the heresy will not tolerate piety. Recognize them, these wolves in sheep's clothing, by their proud disposition, lust for power. There will be slanderers, traitors, sowing enmity and malice everywhere, and therefore the Lord said that you will recognize them by their fruits. True servants of God are humble, brotherly-loving, obedient to the Church. There will be great oppression from heretics to monks, and then monastic life will be reviled. The monasteries will become impoverished, the monks will be reduced, and those who remain will endure violence. However, these haters of monastic life, having only the appearance of piety, will try to win over the monks to their side, promising them patronage and worldly blessings, but for disobedience, threatening with expulsion. From these threats there will be great despondency on the faint-hearted, but you, my son, rejoice when you live to this time, for then believers who have not shown other virtues will receive crowns for standing alone in the faith according to the word of the Lord (Matt. 10, 3). Fear the Lord my son, be afraid to lose the prepared crown, to be rejected from Christ into outer darkness and eternal torment, courageously stand in faith, and if necessary, endure exile and other sorrows with joy, for the Lord will be with you ... and the holy martyrs and confessors, they are with they will look with joy at your feat. But woe will be in those days to the monks who have committed themselves to property and wealth, and for the love of peace are ready to submit to heretics. They will lull their conscience, saying: "We will save and save the monastery and the Lord will forgive us." The unfortunate and blinded do not at all think that demons will enter the monastery with heresy, and then it will no longer be a holy monastery, but simple walls, from where grace will depart. But God is stronger than the enemy and He will never leave His servants, and true Christians will remain until the end of this age, only they will choose solitary, deserted places. Do not be afraid of sorrow, but be afraid of pernicious heresy, for it exposes from grace and separates from Christ. This is why the Lord commanded to regard a heretic as a pagan and publican. So, be strong, my son, in the grace of Christ Jesus, with joy hasten the feat of confession to endure suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Tim. 11, 1-3), who foretold - be faithful unto death and give you the crown of life(Rev. 2, 10). To him, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, honor and glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen".

Venerable Seraphim of Vyritsky(1866-1949):

A thunderstorm will pass over the Russian land,
The Lord will forgive the Russian people their sins.
And the Holy Cross of divine beauty
Above the temple of God will again shine brightly.
And the ringing of bells throughout our Holy Rus'
From sinful sleep to salvation will awaken.
Holy cloisters will be reopened
And faith in God will unite everyone.
Terrible adversities will subside,
Russia will defeat its enemies,
And the name of the Russian great people
Like thunder throughout the universe will rumble.

There will come a time when there will be a spiritual flowering in Russia. Many churches and monasteries will open, even non-Christians will come to us to be baptized on such ships. But this is not for long - for fifteen years, then the Antichrist will come.

He said that when the East gains strength, everything will become unstable. The number is on their side, but not only that: they have sober and hardworking people working, and we have such drunkenness ...

They also told how the elder said: “The East will be baptized in Russia. The whole heavenly world is praying for the enlightenment of the East.

The time will come when Russia will be torn apart. First they will divide it, and then they will begin to rob wealth. The West will contribute in every possible way to the destruction of Russia and will give up its eastern part to China before the time comes. The Far East will be seized by the Japanese, and Siberia by the Chinese, who will move to Russia, marry Russians, and, in the end, by cunning and deceit, will take the territory of Siberia to the Urals. When China wants to go further, the West will resist and will not allow it.

Many countries will take up arms against Russia, but she will stand, having lost most of her lands. This war, about which the Holy Scriptures narrate and the prophets speak, will be the cause of the unification of mankind. People will understand that it is impossible to live like this any longer, otherwise all living things will perish, and will choose a single government - this will be the threshold of the accession of the Antichrist.

Then the persecution of Christians will begin.; when echelons from cities leave deep into Russia, we must hurry to be among the first, since many of those who remain will die.

It's time for lies and evil. It will be so hard, so bad, so scary that God forbid to live up to this time. We won't live with you.

…If the Russian people do not come to repentance, it may happen that brother will rise again against brother…

How much the Lord gave grace to Russia - what forests, lakes, rivers, rich bowels of the earth. But we live without God, and the earth is a mother, she gives bread and life. Our enemies and the God-fighting authorities will not allow people to return to the earth for a long time. It is possible to feed everyone and arrange everything, but it is not profitable for the enemies - they are afraid of Russia revived. And yet Russia will live from her land.

Hieromonk Porfiry, Elder of the Glinsk Hermitage (1868):“... Over time, faith in Russia will fall. The brilliance of earthly glory will blind the mind, the words of truth will be reviled, but for the faith will arise from the people unknown to the world and restore the trampled».

Elder Barnabas of Gethsemane(1831-1906): “But when it becomes unbearable to endure, then liberation will come. And it's time to flourish. Temples will be built again. Before the end, there will be blossoming.” (Quotes from the book: "Russia before the Second Coming", compiled by S. Fomin. Edition of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, 1993).

Rev. Lawrence of Chernigov (1868-1950):“The Russian people will repent of mortal sins that they allowed the Jews to wickedness in Russia, did not protect the Anointed of God Tsar, Orthodox churches and monasteries, a host of Martyrs and Confessors of saints and all Russian saints. They despised piety and loved demonic wickedness. And that for many years they praised, and indulged, and went to worship the destroyer of the country - the Soviet-godless idol, as well as the idol Stalin, honoring his name as immortal.

Batiushka said that when the demons dragged Lenin into hell, then the demons had great rejoicing, a triumph in hell. And he added that when Stalin comes to hell, the same thing will happen. Their memory will perish with noise.

Russia, together with all the Slavic peoples and lands, will constitute a mighty kingdom. The Orthodox Tsar, God's Anointed One, will nourish him. The king will be from God. All schisms and heresies will disappear in Russia. There will be no persecution of the Orthodox Church. The Lord will have mercy on Holy Rus' because it had a terrible and terrible time before Antichrist. A great regiment of Martyrs and Confessors shone forth, beginning with the highest spiritual and civil rank. Metropolitan and Tsar, priest and monk, baby and even infant, ending with a worldly person. They all implore the Lord God, the King of Powers, the King of Kings, in the Most Holy Trinity of the glorious Father and Son and the Holy Spirit.

You need to be sure that Russia is the lot of the Queen of Heaven, and She takes care of her and intercedes for her purely. The entire host of Russian Saints with the Mother of God are asked to spare Russia.

In Russia there will be prosperity of the Orthodox Faith and the former rejoicing, only for a short time, for the Terrible Judge will come to judge the living and the dead.

The Russian Orthodox Tsar will be feared even by the Antichrist himself.

Under Antichrist Russia will be the most powerful Kingdom in the world. And all other countries, except Russia and the Slavic lands, will be under the rule of the Antichrist and will experience all the horrors and torments described in the Holy Scriptures. Russia, repent! Glorify, rejoice, God and sing to Him: Alleluia.

Elder Seraphim (Tyapochkin) about Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

Elder Seraphim (Tyapochkin) (1894-1982) g he said what was revealed to him about the future of Russia, he did not name dates, he only emphasized that the time for the fulfillment of what was said was in the hands of God, and much depends on how the spiritual life of the Russian Church will develop, how strong faith in God will be among Russian people what will be the prayer feat of believers ...

Russia must endure in this battle, after suffering and complete impoverishment, she will find the strength to rise in herself. AND the coming revival will begin in the lands conquered by the enemies, among the Russians who remained in the former republics of the Union. There, the Russian people realize what they have lost, realize themselves as citizens of that Motherland that still lives, wish to help it rise from the ashes. Many Russians living abroad will help restore life in Russia... Many of those who can escape persecution and persecution will return to their original Russian lands to fill abandoned villages, cultivate neglected fields, and use the remaining undeveloped subsoil. The Lord will send help, and, despite the fact that the country will lose the main deposits of raw materials, they will find on the territory of Russia both oil and gas, without which a modern economy is impossible.

The elder said that the Lord would allow the loss of vast lands given to Russia, because we ourselves could not use them worthily, but only polluted, spoiled ... But the Lord will leave behind Russia those lands that became the cradle of the Russian people and were the basis of the Great Russian state. This is the territory of the Grand Moscow Principality of the 16th century with access to the Black, Baltic and North Seas. Russia will not be rich, but it will still be able to feed itself and force itself to be reckoned with.

To the question: " And what will happen to Ukraine and Belarus? The elder replied that everything was in the hands of God. Those, those among these peoples who are against an alliance with Russia - even if they consider themselves believers - become servants of the devil. The Slavic peoples have a common destiny, and the reverend Fathers of the Kiev Caves will still say their weighty word - they, together with a host of new martyrs of Russia, will beg for a new Union of three fraternal peoples.

On the possibility of restoring the monarchy in Russia - with The Tarets replied that this restoration must be earned. It exists as a possibility, not as a predestination. If we are worthy, the Russian people will choose the Tsar, but this will become possible just before the accession of the Antichrist or even after it - for a very short time.

Retreat of the Episcopate

Seraphim of Sarov Life portrait

Rev. Seraphim of Sarov (1759-1833):“To me, a wretched Seraphim, the Lord revealed that there would be great disasters on the Russian land, the Orthodox faith would be trampled on, the bishops of the Church of God and other clerics would depart from the purity of Orthodoxy, and for this the Lord would severely punish them. I, a wretched Seraphim, for three days and three nights prayed to the Lord that He would better deprive me of the Kingdom of Heaven, and would have mercy on them. But the Lord answered: “I will not have mercy on them: for they teach the doctrines of men, and with their tongue they honor Me, but their heart is far from Me” (Compare Matt. 15:7-9).

... I, a wretched Seraphim, from the Lord God are supposed to live much more than a hundred years. But since by that time the Russian hierarchs have become so impious that they will surpass the Greek hierarchs in the time of Theodosius the Younger in their wickedness, so even the most important dogma of the Christian Faith - Resurrection of Christ and the General Resurrection If they no longer believe, then it is pleasing to the Lord God until the time of me, the wretched Seraphim, to take from this temporary life and then in affirmation of the dogma of the resurrection, resurrect me, and my resurrection will be, like the resurrection of the seven youths in the cave of Okhlonskaya during the time of Theodosius the Youngest ”( Quotes from the book: "Russia before the Second Coming", compiled by S. Fomin. Edition of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, 1993.).

Eighth Ecumenical Council

Hieromonk Nektary (Tikhonov) of Optina (+1928) to the question "Will there be a union of Churches?"- answered: “No, only the Ecumenical Council could do this, but there will be no more Council. There were 7 Councils, like 7 Sacraments, 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit. For our age, the fullness of the number is 7. The number of the future age is 8. Only individuals will join our Church ... "

Archbishop Theophan of Poltava (1873-1940):“I don’t know anything about the Eighth Ecumenical Council yet. I can tell only the words of a saint Theodora Studita: « Not every assembly of bishops is a council, but only an assembly of bishops standing in Truth". A truly ecumenical council does not depend on the number of bishops gathered for it, but on whether it will philosophize or teach "Orthodox". If he departs from the truth, he will not be universal, even if he calls himself the name of the universal. - The famous "robber's cathedral" was at one time more numerous than many ecumenical councils, and yet it was not recognized as ecumenical, but received the name "robber's cathedral"! .. "*

Prediction Hieroschemamonk Kuksha of Odessa (1875-1964): « Soon there will be an ecumenical Council called "Saint". But this will be the same eighth Council that will a bunch of godless. On it, all faiths will unite into one. Then all posts will be abolished, monasticism will be completely destroyed, bishops will be married.

Newsletter calendar will be introduced in the Universal Church. Be carefull. Try to visit God's temples while they are still ours. Soon it will be impossible to go there, everything will change. Only a select few will see it. People will be forced to go to church, but we will not have to go there under any circumstances.

I beg you, stand in the Orthodox faith until the end of your days and be saved!”**

On Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II and the nationwide repentance for the sin of regicide

“... Russia entered its way of the cross on the day when it stopped openly praying for the Tsar”

Archpriest Sergei Bulgakov

Rev. Anatoly of Optina (Potapov) (1855- 1922 ) to Prince N. D. Zhevakhov before the appointment of the latter to the post of Comrade Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod (1916) : “There is no greater sin than resistance to the will of the Anointed of God ... Take care of Him, for He holds the Russian land and the Orthodox Faith ... But ...”

Father Anatoly fell into thought, and tears appeared in his eyes; excited, he ended the unspoken thought by saying: “The fate of the Tsar is the fate of Russia. The Tsar will rejoice, Russia will also rejoice. The Tsar will cry, and Russia will cry ... Just as a man with a severed head is no longer a man, but a stinking corpse, so Russia without the Tsar will be a stinking corpse "(" Russia before the second coming, compiled by S. Fomin. Edition of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, 1993 G.)

Holy Righteous John of Kronstadt(1829-1908) said in 1905 about Sovereign Nicholas II: “We have a Tsar of a righteous and pious life. God sent Him a heavy cross of suffering, as His chosen one and beloved child, as it was said by the seer of God's fate: "Whom I love, I rebuke and punish" (Rev. 3, 19). If there is no repentance among the Russian people, the end of the world is near. God will take away the pious king from him and send a scourge in the face of wicked, cruel, self-appointed rulers who will flood the whole earth with blood and tears.

The Russian kingdom is wavering, staggering, close to falling, and if Russia is not cleansed of many tares, then it will become empty, like ancient kingdoms and cities, wiped off the face of the earth by the justice of God for their godlessness and for their iniquities. (“Life, prophecies, akathists and canons to the holy royal martyrs.” Autocratic Rus, 2005, pp. 40, 20).

“Whence this anarchy, these strikes, robberies, murders, thefts, this public immorality, this reigning debauchery, this indiscriminate drunkenness? From unbelief, from godlessness... On the basis of unbelief, cowardice, immorality, the disintegration of the state is taking place. Without the planting of faith and the fear of God in the population of Russia, it cannot stand. Rather with repentance to God! Rather, to a firm and unshakable haven of faith and the Church!

Faith in the word of God, the word of truth, disappeared and was replaced by faith in the human mind., the press in the majority lied - for it there was nothing holy and venerable, except for its own crafty pen often impregnated with the poison of slander and ridicule. There was no obedience of children to parents, students teaching… Marriages are broken, family life is decaying; there is no firm policy, everyone is politicking ... everyone wants autonomy ... The intelligentsia no longer has love for the Motherland, and they are ready to sell it to foreigners, how Judas sold Christ to the evil scribes and Pharisees… Enemies of Russia are preparing the decay of the state…

The Fatherland is on the verge of destruction. What can we expect ahead if such unbelief, such corruption of morals, such anarchy continue? Will Christ come to earth again? Should he crucify and die for us again? No, it's full of mocking God, full of trampling on His holy laws. He will come soon, but he will come to judge the world and give to each according to his deeds.... A person who calls himself a Christian, change your mind, return to faith, to common sense, to the word of God ...

Woe to you - crafty, rebellious, ungrateful person! All the current disasters that have befallen Russia have befallen her because of you! But look, the day of your righteous, terrible eternal reward will come soon. Shake, tremble, man, unworthy of this great name, and soon wait for the righteous judgment of God.

Return, Russia, to your holy, immaculate, saving, victorious faith and to the holy Church - your mother - and you will be victorious and glorious, as in the old believing time. It is enough to hope for your puffy, clouded mind. Fight against all evil given to you by God with the weapon of holy faith, divine wisdom and truth, prayer, piety, the cross, courage, devotion and fidelity of your sons ”(Quotes from the book:“ Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga John “Be faithful to death. Orthodoxy and Modernity". M .: "Prosvet", "New Book", 1993).

Elder Nikolai (Guryanov) about Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II: “Think about it, in Rus' we call the Tsar the father-Tsar, the father ... And who else is called the father, the father? - Priest! This is how they address a clergyman, a priest. The Tsar is a personality and a spiritual person!.. There is a special beauty in the Tsar, spiritual beauty is simplicity and humility…

Whoever loves the Tsar and Russia loves God... If a person does not love the Tsar and Russia, he will never sincerely love God. It will be a sly lie...

Russia will not rise until it realizes who our Russian Tsar Nicholas was… Without true repentance, there is no true glorification of the Tsar. The Lord will not grant Russia a new Tsar until we sincerely repent for allowing the Gentiles to denigrate and ritually torture the Royal Family. There must be a spiritual awareness... The Lord will give Russia the Tsar only after deep universal repentance... Holy Rus' has never died and will never die!

Tsar Nicholas did not part with the Jesus Prayer. She kept him from troubles and misfortunes. It was she, this prayer, who gave him spiritual intelligence and divine wisdom, enlightened his heart and guided, admonished what to do.

The prayer of the holy Tsar Nicholas averts the wrath of God. We must ask the Tsar that there be no war. He loves and pities Russia. If you knew how he cries for us there! He begs the Lord for everyone and for the whole world. The Tsar weeps for us, but the people do not even think about Him!… Wounds on the body of Russia do not heal from such misunderstanding and remorse. We must pray, fast and repent...

Russia must realize that without God - not to the threshold, without the Tsar - as without a father.

The people sleep, the clergy sleep. It is better to talk with a pillar than with another priest. Do not sleep, Orthodox! It is impossible to sleep spiritually and not see what is happening to everyone - with the Church and with the country. The king is praying for us and waiting for us to change...

Lord, what is this! I had to repent! And how should one repent in the Church? - Serve the Liturgy, ask, implore the Lord and all go with a prayer to repentance, confession. To say: they have sinned against the most humble and meek King. Lord, forgive and help the suffering Russian people. If people repented, they would understand that without the Tsar there is no Russia...

Tsar Nicholas is an innocent sufferer for the Russian throne, handed to him by the Lord. The Tsar is the guardian and master of Rus' dear. As they tortured the Holy Chosen One, all of Russia was covered with countless crosses and suffers and suffers until he wakes up and comes to his senses.

The king left, forgiving us all, and we must ask him and the Lord for forgiveness. Tsar Father Nikolai was very, very fond of the Russian people...

God! What have they done to him! What unthinkable torments he endured from the monsters! Scary to see! Not to tell! They burned them and drank the ashes...

The monsters not only tortured the Tsar, but brought the image and likeness of Christ the Lord as a ritual sacrifice. And this is a pure, grave sin, crying out to heaven. Remember, with the Tsar they slaughtered Rus'. They have satanic malice.

How they were tortured! Do not forget: The Royal Martyr saved us by his sufferings. If not for the torment of the Tsar, Russia would not exist! The tsar was very sorry and loved Russia and saved her with his torments. He gave to the slaughter of the heir Alexei, the joy and consolation of his heart.

The Tsesarevich mourns, looking at Rus'... But how can one not mourn? What reproach, insults he sees against the Tsar, the Tsarina and Elder Gregory. Alexei knows his holiness like no one else. The prayer of the martyr Gregory saved the prince so many times from death, healed ... Gregory prayed for Rus', and the Lord heard him ... "(According to the book:" Life, prophecies, akathists and canons to the holy royal martyrs ". Autocratic Rus', 2005, p.32 -34).

About the future king

“The Lord will not grant Russia a new Tsar until we sincerely repent for allowing the Gentiles to denigrate and ritually torture the Royal Family. There must be a spiritual awareness… The Lord will give Russia the Tsar only after deep universal repentance…”

Elder Nikolai (Guryanov)

Saint Philaret of Moscow(1783-1867) : « A people that honors the king pleases God through this, because the King is the dispensation of God..

The strength of the sovereign is in loyalty to God, the strength of the state is in loyalty and devotion to his sovereign».

Saint Theophan of Poltava (1873-1940), confessor of the royal family:“Oh, Russia, Russia! .. How terribly she sinned before the goodness of the Lord. The Lord God deigned to give Russia what he did not give to any people on earth. And this people turned out to be so ungrateful. He left Him, denied Him, and therefore the Lord handed him over to demons for torment. Demons instilled in the souls of people and the people of Russia became possessed, literally demon-possessed. And all that we hear is terrible about what was happening and is happening in Russia: about all blasphemy, about militant godlessness and theomachism - all this comes from the possession of demons. But this obsession will pass by the inexpressible mercy of God, the people will be healed. The people will turn to repentance, to faith. Something that no one expects will happen. Russia will rise from the dead, and the whole world will be surprised. Orthodoxy will be reborn and triumph in it. But the Orthodoxy that was before will no longer be. The great elders said that Russia would be reborn, the people themselves would restore the Orthodox Monarchy. God Himself will put a strong King on the Throne. He will be a great reformer and will have a strong Orthodox faith. He will overthrow the unfaithful hierarchs of the Church, he himself will be an outstanding personality, with a pure, holy soul. He will have a strong will. He will come from the Romanov dynasty on his mother's side. He will be God's chosen one, obedient to Him in everything. He will transform Siberia. But this Russia will not last long. Soon there will be what the apostle John speaks of in the Apocalypse. ( Quote from the book: “Confessor of the royal family. Saint Theophan of Poltava, the New Hermit. Spaso-Preobrazhensky Mgarsky Monastery, 2007, pp. 138-139).

Venerable Abel (Vasiliev) Seer of St. Petersburgabout the future king: “And the Great Prince will rise in exile from your House, standing for the sons of his people. This will be the chosen one of God, and on the Head of His blessing. He will be one and understandable to everyone, He will be taught by the very heart of Russia. His appearance will be Sovereign and Bright, and no one will say: "The King is here or there," but: "This is He." The will of the people will submit to the grace of God, and He Himself will confirm His calling: His name is thrice destined for Russian History. Two namesakes were already on the Throne, but not the Tsar's. He will sit on Tsarsky as the Third. In it is the salvation and happiness of the Russian power. The paths would be different again on the Russian mountain : And barely audibly, as if afraid that the walls of the Palace would overhear the secret, Abel called the name. Fear for the sake of dark power, let this name remain hidden until the time ... "

Three prophecies are presented: "Remember: I am on my way!"
"WHAT EXPECTS GERMANY?" and "YOUR INACTION Grieves Me"

"YOUR INACTION Grieves Me"
Here I am, with you, My children. I will soon come to my land to destroy the unclean and
build a new one on My holy mountain. Expect great changes until now
taking place on this earth.

Spiritually asleep, wake up, for the end is near! You will not have time to wake up for My coming
You will be like those virgins with empty lamps. I'm going to take what's mine and destroy what's
built by Satan on my land. I go to earth to judge the nations and no one will escape
My court.
Believe My promises. All your works are known to me, church. The cares of this world have eclipsed
your mind, and you have forgotten your duty. And I warned you that there is friendship with the world
enmity against me. Do not submit to the power of darkness and unbelief. Right now you should
separate from the world and its temptations and wait for My coming in purity and holiness. Earth
filled with deceit and lies, the enemy tries to deceive the minds of believers, inspiring them not to
go to the House of Prayer, do not use the gifts of My Spirit, many have renounced the gifts
Mine, burying them in the ground, like that worthless servant from the parable. And I see everything - who is true
Me who is not. And I will strictly ask for hypocrisy and cunning. Get away, get away from sin
do not sit in the community of corrupters, do not waste your energy on an empty pastime.

Go to my people, proclaim my coming soon. People walking in darkness
lead to my light, to springs of living water. Let them drink from the springs of My
truth, and the gates of my kingdom will be opened to them. Your inaction grieves Me. I
I suffer because I see the indifference of many to the future of My people. The purpose of your
stay on this earth - the establishment of My power, the struggle in the spiritual sphere for
land and my people; the destruction of centuries-old religious strongholds in the mind of the Israeli
people, the restoration of the connection of the chosen people with His Creator. The power given to you
must be used, otherwise it will be given to those who remain faithful to Me in
everything. Do not be tasteless salt, lamps without oil. Anyway
all designs will be revealed, and the cunning of hearts will be exposed, infidelity
will open.

Announce to My people about My imminent coming to earth, warn of the coming
suffering. Give people hope, the good news of Salvation. May the plans of the enemy be destroyed,
May the will of the Almighty be done! Amen!

WHAT EXPECTS GERMANY?

On June 27, 2008, my husband and I went to Germany, for the first time in many years of living in
Israel. We went to visit believers we met eight years ago
when they were in the Holy Land.

A few days before the departure, I saw a vision, but at first it wasn’t all for me and my husband
understandable (and understood when they were already in place).

Here is a vision: it is as if my husband and I are driving a car around Europe, Semyon is driving.
The railroad runs parallel to the highway.

Suddenly, a huge train is equal to us, rushing at an incredible speed. He is the size
larger than usual, black and with huge metal wheels, from which
hellish sparks fly. I was so scared, because in the spirit I understood that these wheels
they're about to fly off and destroy everything in their path. I screamed in fear and
asked to urgently slow down so that the train rushed forward. A minute later he fled
our field of vision, drifting in the direction in which we were moving.
And soon we drove into a huge city, from the spectacle of which we literally
mouths opened. I saw very beautiful glass skyscrapers, residential and
administrative, shaped like Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But once we started
surprised and admired, I heard a voice: “Only an hour!”. Begged for more
time to have time to see everything, but once again I heard: “Only an hour!”. We are fast
got acquainted with the city, having met the given hour, and left it. Vision
ended.

When we, now really, arrived at the place, in West Germany, we began
admire beauty and order. Everything was fine, for a week we talked with the brothers and
sisters.

After we decided to go for a day to my husband's aunt in Berlin, they had not seen each other for 20 years.
On the way, we continued to admire nature, cleanliness and beautiful external decoration. But
when we arrived at the place, and a relative took us to show
sights of Berlin, the Holy Spirit almost immediately began to tell me that this
exactly the place that was shown to me in the vision. I started worrying inside
I am horrified, not fully understanding what is happening to me. Simon experienced the same.
Nothing pleased me, nothing surprised me; I got worse.

We walked a bit and went to a relative's house. Almost could not save, horror
embraced us more and more, the soul wanted to continue to admire (and there was something!), but the spirit
didn't give. We understood that something terrible was happening in the atmosphere.

We drove back in the morning. I didn’t want to look out the window and rejoice at all, I
began to cry, barely holding back her tears - after all, there were a lot of people on the train. Understood:
The destructive train will soon smash everything in its path. It was clear that the train
- this is an image of the judgments of God impending on Germany (and not only on Germany - in
at the time of the vision I also heard the word "Paris"). God has already begun his judgments; and probably in
we will see it soon.

I told everything to the pastor of the church where our friends go, I asked them from the Lord
stay awake, for the time of judgments is at hand. I learned that the German
prophets.

I also learned some information about Germany, explaining the spiritual background
what is happening. For example, the fact that the mayor of the city of Berlin is a homosexual, in every
the kiosk sells his book with the propaganda of a vicious lifestyle. Learned about the throne
Satan - a giant altar of Pergamon, exhibited in one of the museums in Berlin.

Why am I writing about this in detail? The fact is that many of us do not like life in
Israel, I'm not happy with everything either. However, I have learned to distinguish (only now,
thank the Lord!) between the spiritual and the spiritual. Yes, my soul is not in Israel
I like it, but my spirit is calm for this country, although I am sad about people. Many have
relatives in Europe, in Germany, and many Jews are not averse to finding a place to live
better, where there are not as many problems as in Israel.

But brothers and sisters who live in the promised land, rejoice for Israel, pray for
this people, God is preparing something wonderful, He will protect us! Pray for those who believe
other countries, they need to stay awake, because a terrible time is approaching, and they still
will have to show love for God's chosen people, part of which now lives outside
Holy land.

And one more fact: when we went to Berlin, my husband carefully watched the group
young people riding in our carriage. Then he told me that seeing them, he began in the spirit
to cry, a verse from 2 Kings came to him. 8:11-12: “... you will set their strongholds on fire, and their young men
You will kill with the sword, and you will beat their babies, and you will cut their pregnant women.”
I would like to say to everyone and to myself: seek the Lord, be awake, strive to fulfill the will
His; and don't look for a better one. Better here and in what God has entrusted to you and me. Glory
To him!

"Remember: I'm on my way!"

On the morning of May 30, 2007, after prayer, I lay for about an hour with my eyes closed, without any
thoughts by simply concentrating on God. It was my 4th day of the Daniel fast. All of a sudden
a quiet voice began to speak, insistently repeating the same phrases. I started them
write down. Here is verbatim what was dictated to me.

“My children! The hour is near when I will come down to you from heaven to rapture My Church.
The bride is not ready. The trial has begun. Time is short. Cleanse your hearts, two-minded! cast out
every filthiness from among you. Chase the filth - not people!
Be filled with brotherly love, learn love and compassion from Me. Serve each other with
love. I say again: Serve one another.
Pastors whom I have invested with authority, begin your new day by reading the 34th
chapters of the book Ezekiel. Repent! When I come, the judgment will be over. I don't need goats.
Today, now, begin to cleanse.
Open the doors of the "Ignorance" prison that you have built for My Church. Give
sound doctrine, remove the veil of spiritual ignorance from the eyes of my children. sick
heal, cast out demons, set the tormented free! Remember, I'm on my way."

Recorded by Lyubov Tarnopolskaya
(Ashdod, Israel)

The world lives with a premonition of the end of the world ... There are many signs of that, but one should not rush things. Before this end, many more events must occur - China's attack on Russia, the restoration of the monarchy in Rus', the open appearance of alien aliens to mankind, the accession of the Antichrist, who will rule the world for 3.5 years ...

Appearance of the Monk Seraphim of Sarov r.B. Tatyana. About the universal card and not only.

Recorded by Priest Sergiy Polishchuk, from the words of the Servant of God Tatyana.

“Soon this universal card will be introduced, which is already a denial of Christ, and a rather weighty renunciation of Christ. After this card will be the seal of the Antichrist.

The people who accept this electronic universal card will have their will suppressed, and even if they have made a decision for themselves not to take the seal of the Antichrist, they will not be able to resist their intention. It will be impossible for the one who has accepted the universal electronic card to repent before the Lord God, because the attitude towards sin will change. A person will not feel like a sinner and there will be no such proper repentance, which the Lord accepts and for which forgives sins.

The Monk Seraphim said that the grace of God began, especially in recent times, to move away from Moscow. This is connected with the two most terrible sins - this is the sin of Sodom and the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and the Mother of God (swearing). Now our life, our speech is sprinkled with foul language, sin. Whether it's even ordinary speech, and not swearing, a mat is already used for a red word. But in fact, this is a very terrible sin, and because of these two sins, the grace of the Holy Spirit departs. After a while, Moscow will begin to fail. Father Seraphim said that Moscow is a dead city, collapsed streets, collapsed squares, said that in a few years the capital will be in a completely different place.

Father Seraphim noticed that with the acceptance of cards, morality will be lost and things will be happening on our streets and in our homes that are scary even to imagine. He said: “You don't need to know what will be in these houses, in this city after a while. Sodom parades and stuff ... "

People who will not hesitate to accept this card will also gladly accept the seal of the Antichrist. The Antichrist is already on the threshold of Moscow. He is not allowed to enter Moscow only by the prayers of the monks and the righteous. In order for this entry to take place, the prayer in the temples will soon be changed, and when this happens, it will no longer be possible to go to the temples. Not to churches, not to Communion.

There will be a terrible war, there will be a famine, very strong and for several years; the heat will be strong and the water will go deep into the ground, BUT if you pray, and there will be conciliar repentance, then the Lord will extend the time.

YOU NEED TO PRAY NOW CONSTANTLY AND EVERYWHERE!!!”

Predictions of schemamonk John from the village of Nikolskoye

“When the “bald” one is taken out of the Mausoleum, Moscow will fall into salty waters and little will remain of Moscow (according to the latest research, there is an ancient sea under Moscow under a layer of the earth’s crust - approx.) Sinners will swim in salt water for a long time, but save there will be no one. They will all die. Petersburg will be flooded. Only those who leave the cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg) to live in the countryside will have a chance to survive. It is not worth starting to build houses in the villages, there is no time left, you will not have time. It is better to buy a finished house. There will be a big famine. There will be no electricity, no water, no gas. Only those who grow their own food will have a chance to survive. China will go to war against us and occupy all of Siberia to the Urals. The Japanese will be in charge in the Far East. Russia will be torn apart. A terrible war will begin.

Russia will remain within the borders of the times of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. The Monk Seraphim of Sarov will come. He will unite all the Slavic peoples and states and bring the Tsar with him. The government will literally go berserk. There will be such a famine that those who have accepted the "seal" will eat the dead. And most importantly - pray and hurry up to change your life so as not to live in sin, since there is no time left at all ... "

PROPHETIC PREDICTIONS OF SCHIARCHIMANDRITO CHRISTOPHER THE OLD OF TULA (1905-1996)

“The Antichrist is at the door. It's already hard to live. His (Antichrist's) seal will be placed only on those who do not have the seal of God. He also said that there would be a sharp cooling off in the Church to everything: to prayer, to repentance, to faith... “There will be a very strong cold, in the Church there will come a sharp cooling to everything. (...) They will cool down to prayer, to good deeds ... to all. (...) There will be no heat in the Church.” “The Lord will shorten the time for the salvation of our souls. And if it does not reduce, then we will not be saved. (...) You will run around looking for elders all over the world, but there will be no true elders anymore. The Lord will take them all (...) and you will remain at the will of God. (...) But not long after me there will be a mixture of faiths, and it will no longer be possible to go to churches, there will be no Eucharist and there will be no Communion. This horned one will crawl so cunningly that you will see: the temples will be open, and the services will continue as they went, as they sang, and they sing there. (...) It will no longer be possible to go to church, the Orthodox faith is already everything, it will not exist, and there will be no Communion. Two or three priests of true believers will remain in Tula, no more. (...) Pray in your cells, but never leave prayer.”

“There will be no crosses. First, monastic crosses will disappear, then small crosses on the pectoral... if you want to baptize a child, there will be no crosses. Save your crosses. Store candles, store oil, so that you can light a candle, a lamp and pray at home. (...) “Chop the prosphora finely, dry it and put it in hermetic jars, and then, through the prayers of your Epiphany water, the Lord will impute a drop and a drop of prosphora to you in Communion. It will be impossible to go to church, and Epiphany water and prosphora will be given to you instead of Communion ... And then our churches will be occupied, and everything will collapse, as it was then, and it will be again.

“Lately, people will get sick a lot, but do not despair, this will be for the purification of your souls.” He said about Petersburg: “After all, the city is doomed. He will go under the water. Moscow is doomed. There are only a few prayer books left.” “The wheel of the Apocalypse moves at great speed (...). Yes, Russia will be reborn... And Moscow? Moscow part will fail, and in Tula it will fail. (...) In Moscow - where is the mausoleum and further away, across the river, and where is the hotel Rossiya. In Tula, the Leninsky district will fail and Skuratovo will fail. (...). And Peter will go under the water. (...). So please the Lord God. Were there Sodom and Gomorrah? Also here." “The elders pray very much that there will be a war, and after the war there will be famine. And if there is no war, it will be bad, everyone will die. The war will not be long, but still many will be saved, and if not, then no one will be saved.

He said that everything in the Church would soon be Catholic, as the Symbol of Faith would be changed in the churches, it would be impossible to walk, and then all the churches would be closed. “We must have a supply of water and crackers for ten days, and it will be such that it will not even be possible to leave the house. But for the elect, everything will be reduced.”

He greatly revered the tsar and the royal family, and even then, in the 80s, he said that there would be a glorification of the tsar (Nicholas II). "The tsar with his immaculate children suffered for us, washed Russia with his blood, redeemed us." The priest said that “the Tsar is God's anointed, the people will still cry. (...) So we need it, that all this is happening to us. (...) this is all for the king-father, for betraying him.

“Soon I will be gone, but I leave you a prayer. Read it always, especially in the morning: "Lord, deliver us from the Antichrist, the enemy of violence and sorcery." Everything is contained in this prayer; wherever you are, it should be read."

“This is how Sodom and Gomorrah died for debauchery, this is how the Lord will burn us with fire, this world will burn. Such large cities as Moscow, St. Petersburg will perish.” “Russia will flourish, there will be a new tsar, she will rise again and be freed from this satanic infection, and life will be very good, pious, but everything depends on our repentance, we need conciliar repentance so that we have a new tsar, without repentance the tsar will not come. For a short time, the Lord will send us a king again, but first there will be wars. The war will be very fast, missile, and such that everything will be poisoned. Batiushka said that everything would be poisoned a few meters into the ground. And it will be very difficult for those who remain alive, because the earth will no longer give birth. (...) He said that after the war there would be so few people left on earth.

(...) There will be heat after the war and a terrible famine all over the earth, and not only in Russia. And the heat is terrible, and there will be crop failures for the last five to seven years. At first everything will be born, and then it will rain, and everything will be flooded, and the whole crop will rot, and nothing will be harvested. All rivers, lakes, reservoirs will dry up, and the oceans will dry up, and all glaciers will melt, and mountains will leave their places. The sun will be very hot. (...) People will be thirsty, they will run, look for water, but there will be no water. They will see - something glitters in the sun - and they will think that it is water, they will run up, but this is not water, but glass glitters. “Lately, you won’t live alone... They will run away from the monasteries! (...) The devil will take possession of the monasteries ... and it’s good if someone has a house left, his own corner where to run! And those who have nowhere to run will die under the fence.” Batiushka was very negative about apartments. “Buy, he said, - a house with a land. Relatives do not disperse, but unite, buy together. (...) Buy houses in the village, even a dugout. God's blessing is on it. Buy and immediately dig a well so that you have your own water, and immediately plant a willow (on the north side), because there is always water under the willow (...)

It will be possible to collect water drop by drop. These drops are the tears of the Mother of God. (...) We will eat roots, herbs, and we need to collect a linden leaf. Here you will have bread and water. The Lord will feed by a miracle, by a miracle. Then the Lord will give crowns to the living, whoever does not betray God, whoever follows Him. (...) There will be a terrible famine, the corpses will be lying around, and you will have your own land, it will feed you. And don't be lazy, don't be lazy. The Lord loves work. You will return "scythe to scythe" - as the blessed Matronushka said, (...), - plow to plow, you will all return to manual labor. (...) In those days, it would be possible to save oneself only in one's own homes. And in the city ... what passion will be! The light will be turned off, the gas will be turned off, the water will be turned off ... there will be nothing, and people will almost rot alive in their apartments.” Christopher worried about Russia and wept: “Mother Russia, poor Russia! What awaits you, what awaits you!

In recent years, the priest was very sad, and sadness was characteristic of the time. Batiushka said that the world is not going to salvation, but to its imminent death. When Boris Yeltsin was still in power, he said: “He did nothing good, but he does not touch the Church either, and this is the main thing. And after him he will be young, he will generally confuse everything. And then such a thing will begin that only God will figure it out. The elder said that now is not the time for rebirth, but for the salvation of souls. Everything, he said, will be done cunningly and slyly. He did not bless taking electronic numbers, plastic cards, passports, all this, he said, was antichrist, he did not bless anything, starting with vouchers, he did not even bless marriages. He warned me not to vaccinate. Recently, no doctors can be trusted, as they will be very cunning and can introduce these chips under the skin.

Rev. Kuksha of Odessa (1875 - 1964). Spiritual children.

My dear sisters in Christ our Lord Jesus, peace and grace to you from the Lord for the letter I received recently. I thank you and save you, Lord, that you have not forgotten me, a sinner. My dear sisters, I believe your grief and thank you from the bottom of my heart in everything, but it is a pity that I cannot get rid of it, but bear with me, my dear sisters, for it is pleasing to the Heavenly Father! My sisters, know that everything is sent from God: good, bad and sorrowful, and you will gladly accept everything from the hand of the Lord and do not be afraid, God will not leave you! He will never send grief, grief and heavy burdens beyond your strength, but gives everything according to your strength. Your great woe to him - this means that you have a lot of strength to endure him, but this or that grief, endure everything patiently, for time is coming to death. Now the chapter of the 3rd book of the prophet Ezra is beginning to be fulfilled. Death is fast approaching us. Oh, my sisters, what a terrible time is coming when you don’t want to live in this world, but it’s here ... here it is.

Oh my God, my God, my God! Terrible disasters are coming to earth: fire, famine, death, death and destruction, and who can avert them! And this time is very close, do not listen to anyone if they say that there will be peace, no, there will be no peace, there will be war. And then there will be a terrible famine. And where does it all go! There will be nothing to eat, and death awaits people from hunger. The people will be sent to the east, but not a single soul will return, they will all die there from hunger, there will be a terrible death, and whoever remains alive will die from pestilence. It is a contagious disease with no cure. It was not in vain that the holy prophet Ezra said: woe, woe for you, our land, one grief will pass, a second and a third will come, etc.

Oh, God, my God, do you know, dear sisters and brothers, that even now the Lord has put an end to earthly prosperity. Truly I tell you that now is not the time to get married and get married, because the Lord gave us these days only for repentance and repentance from the sinful life of the flesh: this time is not for feasts and weddings, not for overeating and drunkenness, we all must leave this ... We should cry day and night to our true God for the forgiveness of our grave sins. We must ask Him with tears to have mercy and mercy on us at His Terrible Judgment, for after all these disasters, the glorious Terrible Day of God's Judgment will come. The Scripture says that the chosen ones of God can find out, that is, the Lord can reveal to them the year of the end of the world, but only no one knows the day or the hour, even the Angels in Heaven; only the Lord knows about it… A terrible, terrible time is approaching, God forbid, since the creation of the world there has never been such a thing, Lord, but who will not be afraid of you!

Listen, my sisters and brothers, know that I will tell you that God has prepared such a pit for the world that there is no bottom and He will put all the wicked there... Oh, God forbid to get there, Lord, save and have mercy! Truly I tell you, I do not lie, that it is by His grace that the Lord has revealed to me. Telling lies is a terrible sin. God save us not only talk about marriage and marriage now, but you can’t even think about it, this is a terrible sin. Young boys and girls should not marry. Those who live in marriage also need to live chastely, Lord, save and have mercy on us. There was a time when they lived quietly and the Lord Himself blessed the marriage, but now all this has come to an end. But the people of this world will do iniquity to the very end, and for sins they will be cast into a bottomless pit into hell-fire, because they do not know what they are doing. What the Lord revealed to me for the people of this world is a mystery. I feel sorry for everyone that they don’t know all this and people walk like blind people, they don’t see this bottomless pit in front of them into which they are about to fly. I thank the True God to everyone that He is merciful and announced to me about this and showed me everything. Do not think that it was shown to me through my prayer, only through His mercy the Lord revealed and showed me everything that should be soon. But the Lord does not give everyone such joy as He has shown me, a great sinner. Give Him thanks and praise forever and ever. Amen.

Kind people! Say goodbye to earthly goods, for no one will live. Pray and be saved in the Lord! Precious time given for the acquisition of eternal life. Strengthen yourself with deeds of mercy and love for your neighbor! Fulfill the commandments of the Lord! The last times have come. Soon there will be a great council called "holy", but it will be just the Eighth (Impious!) Ecumenical Council, at which all faiths will unite into one, holy fasts will be canceled, bishops will marry. Then they will be driven there, but in no case can you go there. Stand for the Orthodox faith until the end of your days and be saved. May peace and salvation be upon you and us forever. Amen.

Schema-Archimandrite Seraphim (Tyapochkin, + 6.4.1982) from Rakitnoye (1977): “During the memorable conversation, a young woman from a Siberian city was present. Christians and those who disagree with their rule. "This was an answer to her doubt about the words of the elder that almost all of Siberia would be captured by the Chinese. The elder said what was revealed to him about the future of Russia, he did not name dates, he only emphasized that the time of the accomplishment of what was said - in the hands of God, and much depends on how the spiritual life of the Russian Church will take shape, how strong faith in God will be among the Russian people, what will be the prayer feat of believers [...] The elder said that the collapse of Russia, despite the apparent strength and rigidity of power, will happen very quickly. First, the Slavic peoples will be divided, then the union republics will fall away: the Baltic, Central Asian, Caucasian and Moldavia. After that, the central power in Russia will begin to weaken even more, so that autonomous republics and regions will begin to separate. Further collapse will follow: the authorities of the Center will no longer actually recognize individual regions, which will try to live independently and will no longer pay attention to decrees from Moscow. The biggest tragedy will be the capture of Siberia by China. This will not happen by military means: due to the weakening of power and open borders, the Chinese will begin to move to Siberia in droves, buying up real estate, enterprises, and apartments. Through bribery, intimidation, agreements with those in power, they will gradually subjugate the economic life of cities. Everything will happen in such a way that in one morning the Russian people living in Siberia will wake up ... in the Chinese state. The fate of those who remain there will be tragic, but not hopeless. The Chinese will brutally crack down on any attempts at resistance. (That is why the elder predicted the martyrdom at the stadium of the Siberian city of many Orthodox and patriots of the Motherland). The West will promote this creeping conquest of our land and support China's military and economic power in every possible way out of hatred for Russia. But then they will see the danger for themselves, and when the Chinese try to seize the Urals by military force and move on, they will prevent this by all means and can even help Russia in repelling the invasion from the East. Russia must endure in this battle, after suffering and complete impoverishment, she will find the strength to rise in herself. And the coming revival will begin in the lands conquered by the enemies, among the Russians who remained in the former republics of the Union. There, the Russian people realize what they have lost, realize themselves as citizens of that Motherland that still lives, wish to help it rise from the ashes. Many Russians living abroad will help restore life in Russia... Many of those who can escape persecution and persecution will return to their original Russian lands to fill abandoned villages, cultivate neglected fields, and use the remaining unexploited subsoil. The Lord will send help, and, despite the fact that the country will lose the main deposits of raw materials, they will find on the territory of Russia both oil and gas, without which a modern economy is impossible. The elder said that the Lord would allow the loss of vast lands granted to Russia, because we ourselves could not use them worthily, but only polluted, spoiled ... But the Lord will leave behind Russia those lands that became the cradle of the Russian people and were the basis of the Great Russian state. This is the territory of the Grand Moscow Principality of the 16th century with access to the Black, Baltic and North Seas. Russia will not be rich, but it will still be able to feed itself and force itself to be reckoned with. To the question: "What will happen to Ukraine and Belarus?" The elder replied that everything was in the hands of God. Those who in these nations are against an alliance with Russia - even if they consider themselves believers - become servants of the devil. The Slavic peoples have a common destiny, and the reverend Fathers of the Kiev Caves will still say their weighty word - they, together with a host of new martyrs of Russia, will beg for a new Union of three fraternal peoples. Another question was asked about the possibility of restoring the monarchy in Russia. The elder replied that this restoration must be earned. It exists as a possibility, not as a predestination. If we are worthy, the Russian people will choose the Tsar, but this will become possible just before the accession of the Antichrist or even after it - for a very short time."

Venerable Theodosius (Kashin, + 1948), Elder of Jerusalem

"Was that the war [the Great Patriotic War]? Here there will be a war. It will start from the east. And then from all sides, like pruzi [locusts], enemies will crawl to Russia. This will be a war! .."

Blessed Kievan Elder Nun Alipia

“This will not be a war, but the execution of peoples for their rotten state. Dead bodies will lie in mountains, no one will undertake to bury them. Mountains, hills will disintegrate, will be razed to the ground. People will run from place to place.”

Quarreling over housing: “Here you quarrel, swear for an apartment, disperse ... And there will be a time when there will be a lot of empty apartments, but there will be no one to live in them”

Mother paid special attention to the topic of land - those who had houses in the villages, land, livestock forbade selling, indicating that they still need a farm.

Pasha Sarovskaya's prediction

On August 1, 1903, the holy prophetess Pasha Sarovskaya predicted a terrible fate for the Tsar and Tsarina: to be killed along with their children in 15 years. And so it happened.
“Next,” said the saint (she was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church), “four of your servants will be martyred with you. For each of the 11 people killed, the Lord puts 10 years. For Your Family - seven people, take it out and put it - the devil will walk And for each of Your servants, the Lord will double-check every ten years: has the Russian people repented? so much the better, the sooner he repents. But I tell you, Tsar, by the end of these 110 years there will be a Tsar in Russia from your dynasty."

The Russian people betrayed and rejected Christ - God, when they betrayed and rejected the Holy Tsar, the Anointed One, thereby committing a terrible SIN. After they betrayed and rejected the King of God, Russia was captured by the forces of the devil, who are destroying Russia, the Faith and the Russian people. The only salvation of Russia is ALL NATIONAL REPENTANCE for the sin of regicide and PRAYER for the Coming King of God's ANOINTED. When ALL RUSSIAN PEOPLE REPENT THE SIN OF TSARMURDER AND WILL PRAY FOR THE COMING KING BEFORE CHRIST GOD, then the Lord will give the Tsar the Conqueror, who will save Russia and the Russian people from the Antichrist and the horrors of the last times.

Prophecy of Saint Malachy

One of the most famous Prophets of the Roman Catholic Church is Saint Malachi, who died in 1148. This Irish priest made a list of all future popes since Celestine II (1143).

On April 2, 2005, John Paul II died, in the world a Pole Karol Wojtyla. He was 110th in the list of Malachy, who awarded this Pope with the motto "from the labors of the Sun."
About the 111th pope ( Benedict XVI) Malachi succinctly reports as the "glory of the olive" (in another translation - "the triumph of the world"). Malachy does not say how long the peace-loving Pope will last in power, but with his successor (already replacing Benedict XVI in early 2013), whom the soothsayer calls by name, the world is in for a catastrophe. When the holy throne is occupied by the 112th Peter of Rome, or Peter II (the first, as you know, was the Apostle Peter, a disciple of Christ, who established the institution of the papacy), the end of the world will come. Against his custom, Malachi dedicates a whole paragraph to the last Pope of Rome, which says the following: "At the end of time, the place of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter of Rome, who will feed the weak-willed, committing many disasters. At this time, the City of Seven Hills will be destroyed and the Monstrous Judge will judge the nations. The end."

Here is such a picture of the future...

I bring to your attention a collection of prophecies of Orthodox elders about Russia. There are some pretty interesting ones. True, there are certain doubts whether they really belong to them. Are they just another "newspaper duck"?

Prophecies about Russia

“About the fate of the Russian state, in prayer, there was a revelation to me about three fierce yokes: the Tatar, the Polish, and the future one - the Jew. The Jew will scour the Russian land like a scorpion, plunder its shrines, close the churches of God, execute the best Russian people. This is the permission of God, the wrath of the Lord for Russia's renunciation of the holy Tsar.

But then the Russian hopes will come true. On Sophia, in Constantinople, the Orthodox cross will shine, Holy Rus' will be filled with the smoke of incense and prayers and will flourish, like a heavenly cry. Monk-seer Abel, 1796

* * *
“There will be a tsar who will glorify me, after which there will be a great turmoil in Rus', a lot of blood will flow for rebelling against this tsar and the autocracy, but God will magnify the tsar ...

Before the birth of the Antichrist, there will be a great long war and a terrible revolution in Russia, exceeding any human imagination, for the bloodshed will be the most terrible. There will be the death of many people loyal to the fatherland, the looting of church property and monasteries; desecration of the churches of the Lord; destruction and plunder of the wealth of good people, rivers of Russian blood will be shed. But the Lord will have mercy on Russia and lead her through suffering to great glory ... "

“I, a wretched Seraphim, from the Lord God are supposed to live much more than a hundred years. But since by that time the Russian hierarchs have become so ungodly that their wickedness will surpass the Greek hierarchs during the time of Theodosius the Younger, so that even the most important dogma of Christ's Faith — the Resurrection of Christ and the general resurrection — will not be believed, therefore, the Lord God is pleasing until the time of me, the wretched Seraphim, from sowing premature life to take and then to resurrect the dogma of the Resurrection, and my resurrection will be like the resurrection of the seven youths in the cave of Okhlonskaya during the time of Theodosius the Youngest. After my resurrection, I will move from Sarov to Diveevo, where I will preach universal repentance.

“To me, a wretched Seraphim, the Lord revealed that there would be great disasters on the Russian land. The Orthodox faith will be trampled on, the bishops of the Church of God and other clerics will depart from the purity of Orthodoxy, and for this the Lord will severely punish them. I, poor Seraphim, for three days and three nights prayed to the Lord that he would better deprive me of the Kingdom of Heaven, and have mercy on them. But the Lord answered, “I will not have mercy on them: for they teach the doctrines of men, and with their tongue they honor Me, but their heart is far from Me”…

Any desire to change the rules and teachings of the Holy Church is heresy ... blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven. The bishops of the Russian land and the clergy will follow this path, and the wrath of God will strike them ... "

“But the Lord will not be completely angry and will not allow the Russian land to be destroyed to the end, because in it alone Orthodoxy and the remnants of Christian piety are still predominantly preserved ... We have the Orthodox faith, the Church, which has no vice. For the sake of these virtues, Russia will always be glorious and fearful and irresistible to enemies, having faith and piety - the gates of hell will not overcome these.

“Before the end of time, Russia will merge into one great sea with other Slavic lands and tribes, it will form one sea or that vast universal ocean of the people, about which the Lord God spoke from ancient times through the lips of all the saints: “Terrible and invincible Kingdom of All Russia, pan-Slavic - Gog and Magog before whom all nations will tremble.” And all this is the same as twice two makes four, and without fail, as God is holy, who from ancient times foretold about him and his formidable dominion over the earth. By the combined forces of Russia and other nations, Constantinople and Jerusalem will be filled. With the division of Turkey, almost all of it will remain with Russia ... ". Rev. Seraphim of Sarov, 1825-32

“European peoples have always envied Russia and tried to harm her. Naturally, they will follow the same system for future centuries. But the Russian God is great. We must pray to the great God that He preserve the spiritual and moral strength of our people — the Orthodox faith... Judging by the spirit of the times and the ferment of minds, it must be assumed that the building of the Church, which has been shaking for a long time, will shake terribly and quickly. There is no one to stop and resist ...

The current retreat is allowed by God: do not try to stop it with your weak hand. Remove yourself, protect yourself from it: and that is enough for you. Familiarize yourself with the spirit of the times, study it in order to avoid its influence as far as possible...

Constant reverence for the destinies of God is necessary for proper spiritual living. Into this reverence and obedience to God one must lead oneself by faith. The Providence of the Almighty God vigilantly watches over the destinies of the world and every person, and everything that happens is done either by the will or by the permission of God...

No one will change the predestinations of the Providence of God about Russia. The Holy Fathers of the Orthodox Church (for example, St. Andrew of Crete in the interpretation of the Apocalypse, chapter 20) predict Russia's extraordinary civil development and power ... And our disasters should be more moral and spiritual. Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov, 1865

“If in Russia, for the sake of contempt of the Commandments of God and for the sake of weakening the rules and regulations of the Orthodox Church, and for other reasons, piety becomes impoverished, then the final fulfillment of what is said in the Apocalypse of John the Theologian must inevitably follow.” Rev. Ambrose of Optina, 1871

“Modern Russian society has become a mental desert. A serious attitude to thought has disappeared, every living source of inspiration has dried up... The most extreme conclusions of the most one-sided Western thinkers are boldly presented as the last word of enlightenment...

How many signs the Lord showed over Russia, delivering her from the strongest enemies and subjugating her nations! And yet, evil is growing. Shall we not come to our senses? The West has punished and will punish us, the Lord, but we are not taken into account. We got stuck in the mud of the western up to our ears, and all is well. There are eyes, but we don’t see, there are ears, but we don’t hear, and we don’t understand with our hearts ... Having inhaled this infernal fumes, we are spinning like crazy, not remembering ourselves ”

“If we don’t come to our senses, the Lord will send us foreign teachers to bring us to our senses ... It turns out that we are on the path of revolution. These are not empty words, but a deed affirmed by the voice of the Church. Know, Orthodox, that God cannot be mocked.”

“Evil is growing, malevolence and unbelief are raising their heads, faith and Orthodoxy are weakening… Well, should we sit back? No! Silent shepherding - what kind of shepherd? We need hot books, defensive against all evils. It is necessary to dress up hacks and oblige them to write... It is necessary to stop the freedom of ideas... To declare disbelief a state crime. Forbid material views under pain of death! Saint Theophan the Recluse, 1894

“The Mother of God saved Russia many times. If Russia has stood until now, it is only thanks to the Queen of Heaven. And now what a difficult time we are going through! Now the universities are filled with Jews, Poles, and there is no place for Russians! How can the Queen of Heaven help such people? What have we come to!

Our intelligentsia is simply stupid. Ignorant, stupid people! Russia, represented by the intelligentsia and part of the people, became unfaithful to the Lord, forgot all His blessings, fell away from him, became worse than any foreign, even pagan people. You forgot God and left Him, and He left you to His paternal Providence and gave you into the hands of unbridled, wild arbitrariness. Christians who do not believe in God, who act together with the Jews, who do not care what faith: with the Jews they are Jews, with the Poles they are Poles - those are not Christians, and will perish if they do not repent ... "

“Shepherd rulers, what have you made of your flock? The Lord will seek His sheep from Your hands! .. He mainly oversees the behavior of bishops and priests, their educational, clerical, pastoral activities ... The current terrible decline in faith and morals depends very much on the coldness towards their flocks of many hierarchs and the priestly rank in general "

“How many enemies our Fatherland has now! Our enemies, you know who: the Jews... May the Lord end our misfortunes, by His great mercy! And you, friends, stand firmly for the Tsar, honor and love him, love the Holy Church and the Fatherland, and remember that autocracy is the only condition for the prosperity of Russia; if there is no Autocracy, there will be no Russia; the Jews who hate us so much will take power!”

“But All-good Providence will not leave Russia in this sad and disastrous state. It righteously punishes and leads to rebirth. God's righteous destinies are being committed over Russia. She is forged by misfortunes and misfortunes. It is not in vain that He who rules over all nations skillfully, aptly places on His anvil those who are subjected to His strong hammer. Brace yourself, Russia! But repent, pray, cry bitter tears before your heavenly Father, whom you have immensely angered! crucible.

But do not be afraid and do not be afraid, brethren, let the seditious Satanists console themselves for a moment with their hellish successes: judgment from God will not touch them, and death will not sleep from them (2 Peter 2.3). The right hand of the Lord will find all those who hate us and righteously avenge us. Therefore, let us not give in to despondency, seeing everything that is now happening in the world ... "

“I foresee the restoration of a powerful Russia, even stronger and more powerful. On the bones of the martyrs, as on a strong foundation, a new Rus' will be erected - according to the old model; strong in your faith in Christ God and in the Holy Trinity! And it will be according to the testament of the Holy Prince Vladimir - as a single Church! The Russian people have ceased to understand what Rus' is: it is the foot of the Throne of the Lord! A Russian person should understand this and thank God for being Russian.” Holy Righteous Father John of Kronstadt. 1906-1908

“The persecution and torment of the first Christians may be repeated ... Hell is destroyed, but not destroyed, and the time will come when it will make itself felt. This time is not far off...

We will live to terrible times, but the grace of God will cover us... The Antichrist is clearly coming into the world, but this is not recognized in the world. The whole world is under the influence of some kind of force that takes possession of the mind, will and all spiritual qualities of a person. It is an outside force, an evil force. Its source is the devil, and evil people are only an instrument through which it operates. These are the forerunners of the Antichrist.

In the Church we don't have living prophets now, but there are signs. They are given to us for the knowledge of times. They are clearly visible to people who have a spiritual mind. But this is not recognized in the world... Everyone is going against Russia, that is, against the Church of Christ, for the Russian people are God-bearers, the true faith of Christ is preserved in them.” Venerable Barsanuphius of Optina, 1910

* * *
“Heresies will spread everywhere and deceive many. The enemy of the human race will act by cunning, in order, if possible, to incline even the elect to heresy. He will not rudely reject the dogmas of the Holy Trinity, the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the dignity of the Mother of God, but will imperceptibly distort the teachings of the Church transmitted by the Holy Fathers from the Holy Spirit, and his very spirit and statutes, and these tricks of the enemy will be noticed only by a few, the most skillful in spiritual life. .

Heretics will take power over the Church, they will place their servants everywhere, and piety will be neglected... Therefore, my son, as you see violations of the Divine order in the Church, patristic tradition and the order established by God, know that heretics have already appeared, although, perhaps, and they will hide their wickedness until the time comes, or they will imperceptibly distort the Divine faith in order to succeed even more, deceiving and luring the inexperienced into the network.

There will be persecution not only against pastors, but also against all the servants of God, for the demon who leads heresy does not tolerate piety. Recognize them, these wolves in sheep's clothing, by their proud disposition and lust for power...

Woe will be in those days to the monks who have committed themselves to property and wealth and are ready to submit to heretics for the love of peace... Do not be afraid of sorrow, but be afraid of pernicious heresy, for it exposes from grace and separates from Christ...

There will be a storm. And the Russian ship will be broken. But after all, even on chips and debris, people are saved. And yet, not everyone will die. We must pray, we must all repent and pray fervently... A great miracle of God will be revealed... And all the chips and fragments, by the will of God and His power, will be gathered and united, and the ship will be recreated in all its glory and will go its own way, intended by God...». Reverend Anatoly of Optina. 1917

“Now we are living through the pre-Tichrist time. The judgment of God over the living has begun and there will not be a single country on earth, not a single person who will not be touched by this. It started with Russia, and then further ...

And Russia will be saved. Lots of pain, lots of pain. It is necessary to suffer much and much and to repent deeply for everyone. Only repentance through suffering will save Russia. All of Russia will become a prison, and one must beg the Lord for forgiveness a lot. Repent of sins and be afraid to commit even the slightest sins, but try to do good, even the smallest. After all, even the wing of a fly has weight, but God has accurate scales. And when the smallest thing outweighs the good on the cup, then God will show His mercy over Russia ...

But first, God will take away all the leaders so that the Russian people look only at Him. Everyone will abandon Russia, other powers will abandon it, leaving it to itself. This is so that the Russian people trust in the help of the Lord. Hear that in other countries unrest will begin and similar to that in Russia (during the revolution - ed.), And you will hear about wars and there will be wars - now, the time is near. But don't be afraid of anything. The Lord will show His wonderful mercy.

The end will be through China. There will be some unusual explosion, and a miracle of God will appear. And there will be a completely different life on earth, but not for a very long time. The Cross of Christ will shine over the whole world, because our Motherland will be exalted and will be like a beacon in the darkness for everyone.” Schieeromonk Aristokliy Athos. 1917-18

“Russia will rise up and will not be materially rich, but rich in spirit, and in Optina there will be 7 more lamps, 7 pillars. If even a few faithful Orthodox remain in Russia, God will have mercy on her. And we have such righteous people.” Venerable Nektarios of Optina, 1920

“You ask me about the near future and about the coming end times. I do not speak about this from myself, but what was revealed to me by the elders. The coming of the Antichrist is approaching and is already very close. The time that separates us from its coming can be measured in years, at most in decades. But before his arrival, Russia must be reborn, albeit for a short time. And the king there will be chosen by the Lord Himself. And he will be a man of ardent faith, deep mind and iron will. This is what was revealed to us about him, we will wait for the fulfillment of this revelation. Judging by many signs, it is coming; except that because of our sins, the Lord will cancel it and change His promise.”

“The monarchy, autocratic power will be restored in Russia. The Lord has chosen the future king. This will be a man of fiery faith, a brilliant mind and an iron will. He will first of all restore order in the Orthodox Church, removing all untrue, heretical and lukewarm bishops. And many, very many, with few exceptions, almost all will be eliminated, and new, true, unshakable bishops will take their place ... Something that no one expects will happen. Russia will rise from the dead, and the whole world will be surprised.

Orthodoxy will be reborn and triumph in it. But the Orthodoxy that was before will no longer be. God Himself will put a strong king on the throne. Saint Theophan of Poltava, 1930

A thunderstorm will pass over the Russian Land.
The Lord will forgive the Russian people their sins
And the Holy Cross of divine beauty
On God's temples will shine again.

Monasteries everywhere will be reopened
And faith in God will unite everyone
And the bell ringing of all our Holy Rus'
From sinful sleep to salvation will awaken.

Dangerous hardships subside
Russia will defeat its enemies.
And the name of the Russian, great people
Like thunder throughout the universe will rumble!

Rev. Seraphim Vyritsky, 1943

“Russian people will repent of mortal sins that they allowed Jewish wickedness in Russia, did not protect the Anointed of God - the king, Orthodox churches and monasteries, a host of martyrs and confessors of saints and all Russian saints. They despised piety and loved demonic wickedness...

When a little freedom appears, churches will be opened, monasteries will be repaired, then all false teachings will come out. In Ukraine, they will strongly take up arms against the Russian Church, its unity and catholicity. This heretical group will be supported by a godless power. The Metropolitan of Kiev, who is not worthy of this title, will greatly shake the Russian Church, and he himself will go into eternal perdition, like Judas. But all these slanders of the evil one in Russia will disappear, and there will be a One Orthodox Russian Church ...

Russia, together with all the Slavic peoples and lands, will constitute a mighty kingdom. The Orthodox Tsar, God's Anointed One, will feed him. All schisms and heresies will disappear in Russia. Jews from Russia will leave to meet the Antichrist in Palestine, and there will not be a single Jew in Russia. There will be no persecution of the Orthodox Church.

The Lord will have mercy on Holy Rus' because it had a terrible and terrible time before Antichrist. A great regiment of confessors and martyrs shone forth… All of them implore the Lord God, the King of Forces, the King of Kings, in the Most Holy Trinity of the glorious Father and Son and Holy Spirit. You need to know for sure that Russia is the lot of the Queen of Heaven and she cares about her and intercedes purely for her. The whole host of Russian saints with the Mother of God are asked to spare Russia.

In Russia there will be a flourishing of faith and the former rejoicing (only for a short time, for the Terrible Judge will come to judge the living and the dead). Even the Antichrist himself will be afraid of the Russian Orthodox Tsar. Under the Antichrist, Russia will be the most powerful kingdom in the world. And all other countries, except Russia and the Slavic lands, will be under the rule of the Antichrist and will experience all the horrors and torments written in the Holy Scriptures.

The Third World War will no longer be for repentance, but for extermination. Where it passes, there will be no people. There will be such strong bombs that iron will burn, stones will melt. Fire and smoke with dust will reach the sky. And the earth will burn. They will fight and two or three states will remain. There will be very few people left and then they will start shouting: Down with the war! Let's choose one! Install one king! They will choose a king who will be born of a prodigal virgin of the twelfth generation. And the Antichrist will sit on the throne in Jerusalem.” Rev. Lawrence of Chernigov. Late 1940s

RUSSIA WAITS FOR GOD!

In 1959, the journal of the Canadian branch of the Orthodox Brotherhood of St. Job of Pochaevsky's "Orthodox Review" published a vision of an elder, told by him to Bishop Vitaly (Ustinov) of Canada, who later became Metropolitan of ROCOR. This old man in a thin dream saw the Lord, who said to him:

“Behold, I will glorify Orthodoxy in the Russian land, and from there it will shine on the whole world ... The Commune will disappear and scatter like dust from the wind. It is allowed to make in Russia one people with one heart and one soul. Having cleansed it with fire, I will make it My people... Behold, I will stretch out My right hand and Orthodoxy from Russia will shine on the whole world. The time will come when the children there will carry stones on their shoulders to build temples. My hand is strong and there is no such power either in heaven or on earth that would resist it.

In 1992, the book “The Last Destinies of Russia and the World. Brief review of prophecies and predictions. In particular, it contains the following prediction made in a conversation by one of the modern elders in September 1990:

“The last days of the West, its wealth, its depravity, have approached. Sudden disaster and ruin will befall him. His wealth is unrighteous, evil, oppresses the whole world, and his debauchery is like the depravity of a new and worse Sodom. Its science and technology are the madness of the new, second Babylon. His pride is apostate, satanic pride. All his deeds are for the needs of the Antichrist. He was possessed by “the assembly of Satan” (Ap. 2:9).

God's fiery wrath on the West, on her Babylon! And you raise your heads and rejoice, sufferers of God and all the good, the humble, who endured evil in their hope in God! Rejoice, long-suffering Orthodox people, the stronghold of the East of God, who suffered according to the will of God for the whole world. To you, for the sake of those chosen in you, God will give strength to fulfill the great and final promise of the Son of his Only Begotten Beloved about the last preaching of His Gospel in the world before the end of the world, as a testimony to all peoples!

The arrogance and gloating of the West about the present disasters of Russia will turn even greater wrath of God on the West. After “perestroika” in Russia, “perestroika” will also begin in the West, and an unprecedented discord will open there: civil strife, famine, unrest, the fall of power, collapse, anarchy, pestilence, famine, cannibalism - unprecedented horrors of evil and depravity accumulated in the souls. The Lord will give them to reap what they sowed for many centuries and by which they oppressed and corrupted the whole world. And all their wickedness will rise up against them.

Russia withstood its temptation, for it had within itself the faith of martyrdom, the mercy of God and His election. But the West does not have this and therefore will not stand it ...

Russia is waiting for God!

The Russian people need only a leader, a shepherd, a Tsar chosen by God. And he will go with him to any feat! Only the Anointed One of God will give the highest and strongest unity to the Russian people!
