How will the Earth die - from internal wars or alien invasions? The prophets of the 21st century have revealed in detail the future of the planet.

Each epoch of the existence of mankind got its own predictors, who tried to convey to mankind God's providence and the meaning of His signs. The prophets of the XX-XXI centuries talk about the essential - fears and problems that are known to everyone today.

1. Giorgio Bongiovanni

In the middle of the 20th century, Giorgio Bongiovanni was born, whom even church leaders call the greatest soothsayer. On April 5, 1989, he met the beautiful maiden Mariam, who informed him that he had been chosen for a great purpose - to carry prophecies to the people. Since then, she periodically appears to him to tell about what cataclysms are prepared for humanity. Bongiovanni's last prediction was:

“I was shown that before the Mother of God pleads for God's help for mankind, one of the countries will use nuclear weapons. Millions and millions will perish, then cataclysms and diseases. And don't be surprised when He comes down not in the clouds, but on a ship that we call UFOs."

2. Matrona of Moscow

The seer, who died in 1952, is considered one of the most revered saints among the Orthodox. Born blind, she devoted her life to serving the faith, using her gift to see the future for the benefit of her followers. All her predictions have always concerned only events that will take place in Russia. She warned all people that terrible sorrows awaited them, in which only prayers would be salvation and consolation.

Matrona spoke about the future:

“I feel sorry for the people who will live to the last days. The time will be terrible and terrible. The day will come when a piece of bread and a cross will be placed in front of a person and forced to make a choice. But only people who believe with all their hearts will find a way out and choose their own special and third path.”

3. Nikolai Kondratiev

The prominent economist Nikolai Kondratiev, who fell under repression in 1932, created the “long economic wave theory”, proving that ups and downs in the economy repeat every 48-55 years. With its help, he could calculate the frequency of not only crises, but also wars, revolutions - so his predictions would have a scientific basis. For example, the Great Depression in the United States and the current aggravation of relations between this country and Russia fell under the laws he worked out. Nobody wanted to listen to the scientist: only now his theory has become in demand.

4. Wolf Messing

Messing was not only a talented hypnotist: he knew how to look into the future, naming the details of upcoming events during his sessions. Einstein himself worked on an attempt to explain the phenomenon of his capabilities, but he did not succeed. Wolf's most famous prophecy remains the promise of the success of the Soviet army and the death of Hitler:

"The tyrant will die if he attacks the Soviet Union and after his death, Russian tanks will drive around Berlin."

Before his death, Messing uttered his most mysterious prediction, he said:

"Humanity should not try to know the future, otherwise it will be destroyed."

5. Ray Bradbury

The science fiction classic lived from 1920 to 2012, but he foresaw the emergence of many modern gadgets in the last century. For example, the 1953 book Fahrenheit 451 describes the modern smart home, plasma TV, wireless headphones, satellite TV, and outdoor security cameras. Ray seemed to know in advance how they would look and function. Another forecast of the writer is waiting for its implementation - the colonization of Mars by people who are already preparing the ship for a trip to the red planet.

6. Wernher von Braun

The legendary "Doctor Evil" of the Third Reich and the creator of NASA was able to build the most daring assumptions about the future based on his own intuition and scientific data. He was neither a shaman nor a psychic, but a few years before World War II he said:

"There will be a war - first against communism, then the fight against terrorism."

Werner was sure that no political system major country will not be able to exist if there is no "image of an external enemy." When humanity reaches a high level of technology, that will be the fight against other civilizations and the invasion of aliens.

7. Paisius Svyatogorets

The Greek elder monk who died in 1994 predicted a conflict between Turkey and Russia 25 years ago. Paisios said:

“After this conflict, the Turks will carry a funeral kutya in their belt.”

This can only be interpreted as a mortal danger to the Ottoman people. When Russia nevertheless decides to go to war against the enemy, the Orthodox homeland of the Svyatogorets will help her. The outcome of the hostilities will be as follows:

“Greece will not play a leading role in this war, but Constantinople will be given to her. Not because the Russians will revere the Greeks, but because a better solution cannot be found.”

8. Kotamraju Narayana Rao

The 85-year-old astrologer from India is so popular that people from all over the world come to attend his training or a session of predictions about the future. Kotamraju Narayana Rao was able to see the American invasion of Iraq, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and the collapse of the USSR. One of the most shocking predictions was the promise to see the Nepalese monarchy fall. In 2008, Nepal became a republic, and indeed there was no trace of the monarchy.

9. Rev. Lawrence of Chernigov

Archimandrite of the Russian Orthodox Church Lavrenty Chernigovsky left predictions "about last times", telling what will be last days humanity. Shortly before his death, the elder said:

“The time will come when they will fight and fight and a world war will begin. And in the midst of it they will say: let's elect ourselves one king for the whole universe. And they will choose! Antichrist will be elected as the world king and the main "peacemaker" on earth. We must listen carefully, we must be careful! As soon as they vote for one in the whole world, know that this is already him and that you can’t vote.”

10. Samuel Huntington

In 2008, the prophet who predicted US attempts to seize world domination and war in the Donbass died. Samuel said:

“Then there will be serious military conflicts in the Caucasus and Kashmir, which will be the first among the global disagreements of different civilizations.”

Over the centuries-old history of Russia, many things were predicted for her: from complete collapse to endless prosperity. Predictions were given by professional soothsayers, politicians, and monks.

Nostradamus

Nostradamus has never been to Russia, but he began to make predictions about Russia practically in synchrony. So, he managed to predict some events from the reign of Ivan the Terrible.

First of all, concerning reforms and changes, which were promoted by Archpriest Sylvester (79th quatrain of the 5th century):

Russian faith will be streamlined
With the advent of the great legislator.
The meek priest will ascend and disturb the strong.
However, the monarch will not use his advice for long.

In 1560, Tsarina Anastasia died, which caused a deep psychological break in the Tsar's soul. The Livonian War was lost, Ivan IV married again. Nostradamus writes:

Seven wives and a son died or were killed by a cruel monarch,
There is bloodshed all around, there is no limit to great atrocities.
The fifth wife will be thrown into the lake,
But the eighth will give birth to a son and miraculously survive.

Nostradamus also predicted the events of the church schism of the 17th century. In the 96th quatrain of the 1st century, he wrote:

The one who will be entrusted to remake
Temples and ceremonies, changed for a whim,
Will harm both priests and laity.
Then he himself will be in disgrace.

Peter I not only reformed the entire system government controlled, Peter's reforms became a kind of apocalypse for "Russian antiquity". Michel Nostradamus predicted in the 59th quatrain of the 1st century:

Exiles expelled from the island
With the advent of a more merciless sovereign
They will be killed and burned in flames.
The rebellious city by the sea is destroyed.

The youngest daughter of Peter I, Elizabeth, arrested the infant Ivan VI and his mother, Anna Leopoldovna. For the royal family, a journey of torment began, which ended in death. Nostradamus foresaw the fall of the power of the infant Ivan Antonovich and dedicated the 52nd quatrain of the 6th century to this event:

Instead of the great one who was doomed,
His daughter will appear, escaped from the dungeon,
The baby will rule for twelve months.
Then he will fall into the fortress, where he will be slaughtered.

According to researchers, Nostradamus also predicted the events of the middle of the 20th century. Quatrain 80, centurion 4 speaks of the beginning of World War II:

The big river has a big ditch, the earth is thrown out,
Fifteen parts divided by water,
The city is taken, fire, blood, screams, battle,
Most of the population in a skirmish.

Only in 1940 did the war started by Hitler become a world war. This year German troops they broke through the Maginot defense line in 15 places - “divided into fifteen parts by water” - and captured not only Paris (“the city was taken”), but the whole country.

Paracelsus

The doctor, alchemist and astrologer Philip Aureol Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim, known to the whole world as Paracelsus, in one of his books "Oracles", containing 300 pages and many prophecies for the whole world until the end of the III millennium, made several sensational predictions about Russia.

Paracelsus traveled a lot in the East, visited Tibet (so biographers think - there is a ten-year period in his life, information about which is not available).

Returning from Tibet, he uttered the first prophecy about Muscovy, as we were then called in the world: “A new huge state will appear on the big mainland. It will occupy almost half of the Earth. This state will exist for a century and it will happen in 400 years.”

He supposedly wrote it in 1522. If you add 400 to 1522, you get 1922 - the year the USSR was founded.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Paracelsus went through Russia to Constantinople. He walked across the Don, because then this path was considered the shortest. There are no facts about what he saw and heard, but after his stay in our country, the predictor entrusted Russia with a great mission - the salvation of all mankind. “Muscovy will rise above all states. Not with her hand, but with her soul, she will save the world.”

True, this salvation will happen at the end of the 22nd century. It was then, according to Paracelsus, that terrible events would occur on earth: “The East will rise up against the West, and hundreds of fiery arrows will be released in the East. They will fall and a pillar of fire will rise. It will burn everything in its path."

Researchers of ancient texts are sure that Paracelsus foreshadowed the Third World War between the countries of the West and the East, during which rockets with nuclear warheads will be used: “People will be covered with deep ulcers and scabs. Their souls will rise up. The third part will die.

Paracelsus seemed to know what the consequences atomic explosions: he colorfully and terribly wrote that food and water on Earth would be poisoned.

But Russia will save itself and help the whole world to be reborn: “However, some people will be able to be saved. And the ancient people who live in Muscovy will help them in this. In Muscovy, which no one has ever thought of as a country in which something great can happen, great prosperity will shine upon the humiliated and outcast. They will conquer the sun."

Paracelsus wrote: “There is one people that Herodotus calls the Hyperboreans. The current name of this people is Muscovy. You cannot trust their terrible decline, which will last for many centuries. The Hyperboreans will experience both a strong decline and a huge flourishing (...) The Banner of the Cross will be hoisted on one of the mountain peaks of this country.

In addition to the fact that Paracelsus here speaks of difficult times for Russia related to territorial disputes, there is another version of this prediction of Paracelsus: perhaps the second coming of the Savior will happen in the Urals.

“In the very country of the Hyperboreans, which no one ever thought of as a country in which something great could happen, the Great Cross, the Divine light from the mountain of the country of the Hyperboreans, will shine over the humiliated and outcast, and all the inhabitants of the earth will see it.”

Paracelsus believed that this should happen 500 years after his death. Why? After all, Christianity came to Russia much earlier. The golden age, which will bring happiness to all living, according to the ancient predictor, will last from 2041 to 2091. What it will be - many of us have a chance to see with our own eyes.

Abel

During the reign of Catherine II, a seer monk lived in the Solovetsky Monastery, his name was Abel. Abel began to prophesy about the death of the Empress. For his predictions, Abel was imprisoned in the Shlisselburg fortress "under the strongest guard."

After the death of Catherine, who died in strict accordance with the prophecy of Abel, the monk was amnestied by Paul I himself.

The emperor wished to meet with the elder and listen to new forecasts from him. Abel described in detail the death of the emperor, and at the same time the unenviable future of the Romanov dynasty.

“Your reign will be short, and I see your sinful, fierce end. On Sophronius of Jerusalem from unfaithful servants you will accept a martyr's death, in your bedchamber you will be strangled by the villains whom you warm on your royal chest. On Holy Saturday they will bury you… These villains, trying to justify their great sin of regicide, will proclaim you insane, will revile your good memory… But the Russian people with their true soul will understand and appreciate you and will carry their sorrows to your tomb, asking for your intercession and softening the hearts of the unrighteous and cruel. The number of your years is like the count of letters.

The prediction that the Russian people will appreciate Paul I has not yet come true. If a survey were conducted today about the attitude of Russians towards past autocrats, then Pavel would certainly be one of the outsiders.

Abel was released in peace to the Nevsky Monastery for a new monastic vows. It was there, at the second tonsure, that he received the name Abel. But the prophet did not sit in the capital's monastery. Already a year after the conversation with Pavel, he appears in Moscow, where he gives predictions to local aristocrats and wealthy merchants for money.

Having earned some money, the monk goes to the Valaam Monastery. But even there, Abel does not live in peace: he again takes up the pen and writes books of predictions, where he reveals the imminent death of the emperor.

Abel is brought to St. Petersburg in shackles and locked up in the Peter and Paul Fortress - "for disturbing the peace of mind of His Majesty."

Immediately after the death of Paul I, Abel was again released from prison. This time, Alexander I becomes the liberator. The new emperor warily sends the monk to the Solovetsky Monastery, without the right to leave the walls of the monastery. There, Abel writes another book in which he predicts the capture of Moscow by Napoleon in 1812 and the burning of the city.

The prediction reaches the king and he orders to calm the imagination of Abel in the Solovetsky prison. “The Frenchman will burn Moscow under Him, and He will take Paris from him and call him Blessed. But secret grief will become unbearable to Him, and the royal crown will seem heavy to Him. He will be righteous in the sight of God: he will be a white monk in the world. I saw above the Russian land the star of the great saint of God. It burns, it flares up. This ascetic will transform the whole fate of Alexandrov ... ".

According to legend, Alexander I did not die in Taganrog, but turned into the elder Fyodor Kuzmich and went wandering around Russia.

When in 1812 the Russian army surrenders Moscow to the French, and Belokamennaya, as the monk predicted, almost burns to the ground, the impressed Alexander I orders: “Let Abel out of the Solovetsky Monastery, give him a passport in all Russian cities and monasteries, to provide money and clothing.

Once free, Abel decided not to annoy royal family, and went on a trip to the Holy places: he visited Athos, Jerusalem, Constantinople. Then he settled in the Trinity-Sergeeva Lavra. For some time he behaves quietly, until, after the accession of Nicholas I, he breaks through again.

The new emperor did not like to stand on ceremony, so “for humility” he sent the monk into confinement in the Suzdal Spaso-Efimov Monastery, where in 1841 Abel reposed to the Lord. “The beginning of the reign of your son Nicholas will begin with a fight, with a Voltairian rebellion. This will be an evil seed, a destructive seed for Russia. If it were not for the grace of God that covers Russia, then ... About a hundred years later, the House of the Most Holy Theotokos will become impoverished, the Russian State will turn into an abomination of desolation.

Grigory Rasputin

Grigory Rasputin was one of the most mysterious personalities in Russian history, and his clairvoyance became a byword during the life of the "old man". He foresaw death royal family long before it happened. Here is what he wrote: “Every time I hug the tsar and mother, and the girls, and the prince, I shudder with horror, as if I were hugging the dead ... And then I pray for these people, because in Russia they need more than anyone. And I pray for the Romanov family, because the shadow of a long eclipse falls on them.

Rasputin predicted the coming of a new government in Russia: “Darkness will fall on Petersburg. When his name is changed, then the empire will end."

He foresaw the "old man" and his own death. He said that if he was killed not by "simple robbers", but by the nobles - "relatives of the king", then the future of Russia and the royal family would be terrible. “The nobles will flee the country, and the king’s relatives will not survive in two years, and the brothers will rise up against the brothers and will kill each other.”

Rasputin also had man-made predictions. For example this. Researchers believe that here Rasputin is talking about nuclear power plants.
“Towers will be built all over the world ... they will be castles of death. Some of these castles will fall, and rotten blood will flow out of these wounds, which will infect the earth and sky. Because clots of infected blood, like predators, will fall on our heads. And many clots will fall to the ground, and the land where they fall will become desolate for seven generations.”

The death of an empire

It must be said that the fall of the monarchy in Russia and the death of the Romanov dynasty were predicted more than once. When Alexandra Feodorovna (wife of Nicholas II) visited Novgorod in 1916 Tithe Monastery, the old woman Mary, stretching out her hands to her, said: “Here comes the Martyr - Queen Alexandra.”

The already mentioned Rasputin also spoke about the tragic end of the last royal family, but even earlier such predictions were made by the Monk Seraphim of Sarov.

It is known that the wife of Alexander II, Maria Alexandrovna, on March 2, 1855, retold the prophecy of Seraphim of Sarov about the death of last emperor and his family to his maid of honor Anna Tyutcheva.

The empress herself learned about the prediction from Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich, to whom the elder told his revelations.

Nicholas II, apparently, knew the prophecy of Abel, since, according to the testimony of those close to him, he repeatedly said: "Until 1918, I was not afraid of anything."

The collapse of the USSR

Disappearing from political map the Soviet Union was predicted by the most different people- clairvoyants, holy elders, politicians and scientists. For example, academician A. D. Sakharov warned in 1989 that if the situation in the country is not corrected, this is fraught with separatism and the collapse of the Union. A little earlier, in 1985, Academician Viktor Gelovani predicted the country's development situation for the coming years using computer modeling.

The analysis data identified two main paths - a technological one that promises a powerful industrial and economic breakthrough, and a losing model that could lead to the collapse of the USSR by 1991. It worked out as always.

Edgar Cayce in 1944 predicted the fall of the USSR in a somewhat veiled form. “The 20th century will not have time to end before the collapse of communism will come,” said the soothsayer. “The Communists will lose their power there.”

Edgar Cayce

Let's stick with Casey. It can be called one of the most successful predictors of the 20th century.

Being an excellent doctor, a great soothsayer and a world-famous person, Edgar gave out all his advice, diagnoses and methods of treatment in a state of trance, but he himself did not remember anything from what was said. With

Cayce made many prophecies, he predicted both world wars, the rise of China, the discovery of the Qumran scrolls, and much more. He planned his reincarnation for the year 2100.

Many of Casey's predictions also applied to Russia. According to Casey, our country is destined for a great mission: “From Russia will come hope for the world; but not from communism or Bolshevism, no, but from a free Russia. Each person will then live for his fellow man.”

Casey spoke: (reading 3976-10, February 8, 1932). “There is great hope for the world in the religious development of Russia. The people or group of peoples that will be closest in relations with Russia will be able to live better, gradually changing the conditions of life around the world.

On November 29, 1932, Casey said: “Changes are coming, you can be sure there will be an evolution or a revolution in the ideas of religious thought. The foundations for this for the whole world will eventually come from Russia; it will not be communism, but what Christ taught - his kind of communism.

Casey argued that Russia would be the new center of the world. Moreover, at the same time, the Americans and Russia will be friends: “Hope for the world will again come from Russia. Guided by what? Friendship with the people, on whose money it is written: "In God we believe."

Introduction.

« It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set in His own power.(Acts 1:7).

AT last year Predictions about the imminent end of the world began to spread widely in the media. On this topic, feature films and documentaries books are being written. Moreover, real hysteria is winding up every day, especially on television. The involvement of people in this process is huge. Everyone, one way or another, faced with similar "prophecies".

People treat them differently, some with humor, some with interest, some with fear. But few people know about the attitude of the Orthodox Church to these predictions and to those who prophesy them.

Work tasks:

• Find out the history of the origin of the word "prophecy".
• Find out if there were real cases of fulfillment of predictions.
• Analyze the collected information.
• Try to find out the reasons for the spread of modern "prophecies".
• To draw the attention of others to the problem of the correct attitude to these predictions.

Modern Prophecies.

Modern prophecies can be sorted as follows. Of course, Mayan prophecy occupies a central place among them.

Some scientists have considered that according to Maya chronology, the modern era began on August 12, 3114 BC. and is due to end on December 23, 2012 AD. On this or approximately this date (it could be 2007 or 2014) their calendar ends. There is an interesting and instructive version of the disappearance of the Mayan civilization. They had predictions for all occasions. Finally, the priests predicted the end of the world by the 10th century. Not wanting to become victims of the disaster, the men burned their homes, killed loved ones, and committed suicide themselves. Few managed to escape. Civilization has ceased to exist.

Other prophecies, starting from the Mayan calendar, speak of various scenarios for a possible end of the world. Here is the fact that the earth will burn out from the suddenly inflamed Sun, or vice versa, it will go out and then everything will freeze from the cold. Or maybe the largest earthquakes, and huge tsunamis will sweep away humanity or a global nuclear war etc., etc. Numerous prophets and soothsayers talk about it every day. Some scientists joined them, presenting their pseudoscientific scenarios about the end of the world.

Analysis of the conducted survey.

The survey was conducted among school students and adults, including teachers and parents. More than 80 people were interviewed.

The questions were asked as follows:

1. What do you know about modern prophecy?

1. Do they scare you?
2. Do you know how the Orthodox Church treats such prophecies?

Most of the respondents know or have heard about all kinds of predictions of the end of the world - 80%. Surprisingly, despite all the efforts of the media, 20% do not know about them (Appendix I).

These prophecies frighten 22% of adults and 15% of students, which is quite a lot. And 78% of adults and 85% of students are not afraid of them (Appendix II).

Knowledge in the third question was shown by 45% - the same number both among the adult category of respondents and among students. Several people showed good awareness on the subject. But still, the majority do not know the correct attitude to these predictions from the point of view of the Orthodox Church (Appendix III).

Finally, the last survey, conducted selectively among the adult population of the village. 54% (!) have ever turned to various kinds of clairvoyants, fortune-tellers and soothsayers. Alas, the percentage may not reflect the real state of affairs, because people, out of a sense of embarrassment, might not admit it. And this means that it can be higher. (Appendix III).

Fulfilled Prophecies in the Bible.

Prophecy is a God-inspired message; a message that reveals God's will and purpose. A prophecy can be called a prediction of the future; God-inspired moral instruction, and the pronouncement of God's command or judgment.

Humans cannot reliably predict the future. Again and again their efforts are in vain. Therefore, we will definitely be interested in the book of prophecies that have been fulfilled. That is the book that the Bible is.

MANY Bible prophecies have been fulfilled so accurately that critics claim that these prophecies were written after the fulfillment. But such statements are wrong. Being the Most High, God is certainly able to predict the future (Isaiah 41:21-26; 42:8, 9; 46:8-10).

PROPHECY

Isaiah 9:6-7 (740 B.C.)

“For a child is born to us; The Son is given to us; dominion on his shoulders, and his name will be called: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There is no end to the increase of His dominion and peace on the throne of David and in his kingdom, in order for Him to establish it and strengthen it with judgment and righteousness from now on and forever. The jealousy of the Lord of hosts will do it.”

1. The people of Judah were oppressed at the time of this prophecy, led by the apostate king Ahaz; they lived in a period of hopeless sorrow. Zebulun and Nathanael experienced attacks on Israel by Tiglath-pileser III of Assyria, who took many of the inhabitants captive.
2. In this darkness, Isaiah prophesied of a victorious future and that the Messiah Himself would come from this region. The Messiah, the light of the whole world, will rise in wonderful days when the Davidic dynasty will be established forever and the kingdom of the Messiah will be strengthened. His kingdom will be a kingdom of peace, justice, prosperity, and righteousness—a stark contrast to Ahaz's kingdom.

PERFORMANCE

Luke 2:11-12 (6 B.C.) - “A baby is born”

“For today a Savior has been born to you in the city of David, who is Christ the Lord; And here is a sign for you: you will find the Infant in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”

The first of the six fulfillments of prophecy is the birth of a baby.

Jesus had to be born a Man. Since God cannot die, Jesus had to become a Man subject to death, even the death of the cross (Hebrews 2:9). Jesus also had to become a Man in order to become Priest, King and Mediator. It is very important that in verse 11 the Baby born in Bethlehem is shown not only as our Savior, but also as the Messiah (Christ) and God (Lord). But for now, Jesus was the Infant lying in the cradle.

PERFORMANCE

John 3:16 - "A son has been given to us"

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

God so loved mankind that He gave His eternal Son so that through faith in Him, people could be saved. In order to live forever, humanity must have an eternal relationship with a Person who has eternal life- God. The born Child and the given Son point to the unique Person of all time - the God and Man Jesus Christ. Thus, Jesus is Emmanuel, God is with us (Matthew 1:23). As God Jesus Christ is eternal, He is the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8).

View of Orthodoxy on modern prophecy. The main differences from Christian prophecies.

Prophecies have been in the history of the Christian church at all times. Many saints of the Orthodox Church predicted future events. But even in their church, they were treated very cautiously. To understand why? Consider an example from the Bible.

Jonah was chosen by God to preach among the Assyrians and Israelites. In his long, flowing clothes, with a silver beard and thick gray hair, he made a huge impression on his listeners with his figure alone. For some reason, he did not heed the clear order of God to immediately go to Nineveh. Instead of going to the Gentiles and Israelites, Jonah boarded a ship bound for Tarshish. He felt a cowardly desire to leave, to hide from the world - it seemed to him that his prophetic powers were running out. By his behavior he committed, of course, a huge sin. And punishment was not slow to follow. A storm broke out. The ship turned into a piece of wood, spinning among the giant shafts. It was clear to everyone that the storm was sent as a punishment for the sin of one of the shipmen or passengers. They threw lots. He fell on Jonah. Without thinking twice, the sailors threw him overboard. Indeed, the storm soon subsided. The sea became calm again. Very close, throwing out fountains, a whale swam ... Nobody knew that their recent passenger, the gray-bearded old man Jonah, was sitting in its dark belly. The whale carried it by sea for three days. During this time, dreaming of a miracle of deliverance, Jonah completely repented. He made a vow that if he was saved, he would devote himself entirely to the work of tireless preaching among the wildest pagan tribes. On the fourth day, the whale vomited the prophet. After drying his clothes, Dona set off. He soon realized that he was close to Nineveh. His sermon had such an effect on the inhabitants of the city that he himself was more than once amazed, seeing tears of sincere repentance flowing down the faces of the most erring of his listeners: he prophesied the death of the city. And yet Nineveh, contrary to the predictions of Jonah, who relied on God, was not destroyed. Jonah, on the supposed day of destruction, looked at the surviving city and bitterly lamented that all its inhabitants were safe and sound. He, of course, was afraid for his own authority. Jonah did not leave the mountain, he built himself a hut. One day he saw a pumpkin that suddenly grew up with very wide leaves on tall stems that gave a good shade. Now, instead of retreating from the heat into a hut, Jonah could, without taking his eyes off Nineveh, sit quietly in the cool shade. But God - as a warning to the prophet - ordered the worm to undermine the plant. Jonah saw with sadness and pity how quickly the wide, beautiful leaves, which had just given a life-giving shade, withered. And then God said to him: “You are grieving for a gourd that you did not work on; how can I not feel sorry for Nineveh, in which there are more than one hundred and twenty thousand innocent people and a lot of cattle! So, by God's will, the whale brought Jonah to repentance, and Nineveh taught mercy.

Despite the explicit prophecy, God cancels its fulfillment for the sincere desire of people to repent. Prophecies can be seen as scenarios, warnings that could happen if people don't change. The free will of a person is not violated, the words of the saints who prophesy are taken as a given, and not a sentence. “The prophet prophesies, and God - as he wants ...”, and the final word is up to God.

Prophecy is allowed to those pious people who have been vouchsafed from God the gift of prophecy. As the apostle Paul said, “To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit; faith to another, by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit; miracles to another, prophecy to another, discernment of spirits to another, tongues to another, interpretation of tongues to another. Yet it is one and the same Spirit that works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He pleases” (1 Cor. 12:8-11).

In the Orthodox Church, they are very wary of prophecies even from their own church from monks, for example. Because anyone can fall into delusion. Charm or its derivative seduction literally means a state of false, incorrect spiritual self-consciousness. In this state, a person perceives the impact of his own passions as holiness or grace sent down by God himself.
Modern so-called "prophecies" come from false prophets, whose task is to sow delusion and fear in people's souls.

All this is so natural for a person to be afraid. And the only cure for fear is the certainty that with our earthly existence we will not die.

Belief in the resurrection has always distinguished Christianity. That is why the end of the world and the coming of the Lord have never been perceived by believers with fear. They have always looked forward to it. Ever since the first centuries of the Christian Church.

What threatens us in 2012? Yes, the same as the year 2000, which also frightened everyone and everything. He threatens the unknown.

The 20th century brought its miniature "ends of the world" - two world wars, atomic bombings, bacteriological weapons, the multiplication of hatred. The whole irony lies in the fact that the Mayans didn’t predict anything terrible, it’s just that their calendar ends, perhaps in 2012. Great scientists disappeared along with the disappearance great civilization, and there was no one to keep a calendar.

Against the backdrop of such “global prophecies” promoted by the media, many sects are operating and not without success, luring people into their ranks with the promise of salvation from disasters. “Everyone will die, but I will remain ...” - such a phrase can characterize the processing of their future members.

A plentiful harvest is also harvested by soothsayers, clairvoyants of a lower rank. Newspapers are littered with their ads. These psychics or clairvoyants are often approached even by state structures (!), such as law enforcement agencies.

In our village last year there was a tragic incident. A young taxi driver disappeared. Immediately there were suspicions about the worst. Relatives went around all (!) Local clairvoyants, psychics and other grandmothers. Everyone said that he was alive, only wounded and in some house. Later it turned out that the guy was killed on the first day of the disappearance. The criminals were caught, but without the help of mysterious forces.

The attitude of Holy Scripture (Bible) and Church doctrine to this issue has always been unambiguously negative. Even more than 1500 years before the birth of Christ, the holy prophet Moses commanded the Jewish people on behalf of God: . For every one who does this is abominable before the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God casts them out from before you.” (Due 18:10-12).

The work of healers, psychics using Orthodox paraphernalia is caused either by the desire to attract more clients (a feature of psychology is skillfully used modern man- trust in the Orthodox Church and the simultaneous desire to find something that seems to be lacking in it), or being at the stage of self-delusion by one's imaginary chosenness of God.

Now a few words about the results of treatment by healers. They are very well known not only to the clergy, to whom the victims of treatment come, but also to doctors, mainly psychiatrists. In modern medicine, even a special term has appeared - an occult disease. According to the observations of the professor, doctor of medical sciences, hieromonk Anatoly (Berestov), ​​people who turn to not just charlatans, but to real psychics, can in some cases get relief or even healing from their ailments, but after a few months, less often a year, the disease returns with renewed vigor, it becomes more difficult to treat it, other organs are often affected, severe mental disorders develop, sometimes leading to suicide. It should be said that mental disorders or an occult disease can also develop in unbelievers, relatives, both patients and healers themselves.

In the last two years, businessmen have also joined in, making custom-made bunkers and other shelters for survival in the Apocalypse to rich people. In some countries, entire underground cities of refuge are being built for the elite.

As we can see, the population of the earth is gripped by an epidemic of fear of impending catastrophes. Fear kills a person in a person. The Christian worldview is completely different. "... Do not be afraid, just believe." Gospel of Mark. Chapter 5:36. The gospel is not the good news that disasters will not happen, but the good news that disasters are not the end. The gospel is not the good news that there will be no end, but the good news that there will be an end, and such an end, for which it is not a pity to give any beginning. The gospel is the good news that you should not be afraid of your death, of your loved ones, of everything that is dear to you, but you should be afraid of not having time to die. Jesus begins with what seems terrible to people - with war, but leads and ends with what seems terrible to God - the lack of love and care for man.

Conclusion

So, at the end of the study on the attitude towards prophecy in Christianity, we can draw the following conclusions.

False prophecies can be identified by the following signs:

1. The simplest is if there is a date in the prediction, then it is false. For example, Vanga's prophecies. Because in the Gospel it is said “No one knows about that day and hour, not even the angels in heaven, but only My Father alone.” Matthew 24:36.
2. The second criterion that Holy Scripture offers us is contained in the Apostle Paul: “Even if we or an angel from heaven began to preach to you not what we preached to you, let it be anathema” (Gal. 1: 8). So if any prophecy contradicts Scripture and the faith of the Church, then you don’t even have to wait: this is already a known word not from God.

The main purpose of the dissemination of modern predictions is to instill fear in people, so it is easier to control and manipulate them. This can especially affect people who are not believers or who have little church. Likewise, the passion for all kinds of predictions, just like the passion for miracles, is a sign of unhealthy spiritual life of a person. If at a relatively prosperous time, many perceive this with humor, then if a crisis or some kind of cataclysm happens, people who are not strengthened by faith and reliable in God can panic up to the end of suicide, or indulge in all serious (robbery, murder, looting).

According to the teachings of the Church, one cannot turn to various kinds of soothsayers; they do not act from God. For a person, this can be detrimental to both his soul and body. In addition, the promised “future” said even by an obvious charlatan will program a person onto a false path of life.

A true Christian trusts God, like a child to his father, and is not afraid of the future, for he knows that the Lord will allow only that which is useful to happen, and will always be there, and that He is better able to deliver from any trouble better than anyone else. The one who wants to “lay straws” shows that he hopes more for his actions, from God he needs only information about the future. This is a serious delusion, and the Lord warned against being carried away by the search for the future - "it is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has fixed in His own power" (Acts 1: 7).

“The desire to be in communion and dealing with the world, to speak unceasingly and recklessly idle talk, to always look for news and even false prophecies, to promise much beyond one’s strength – this is the essence of spiritual temptations” (St. Isaac the Syrian. Word 79).

As it turned out, the topic of modern prophecies raises many more questions that cannot be covered in the framework of the current work, which can be left for future research.

You know, we live in an amazing time! Now there is so much information around that it is sometimes difficult to understand it if you do not have some guidelines. The matter is aggravated by yet another aggravation in international rhetoric. To the common man I don't want to watch the news. There, whatever they say, almost everything scares. However, there are other sources that many recognize as their own guidelines. This refers to the predictions of seers about the future. Agree, they may well become bridges along which consciousness will calmly cross over the raging information hurricane. Let's take a look at what kind of prophecy about Russia can become a support for us, help us get through difficult times, strengthen faith in happiness, if not for us, then for children - for sure.

Plurality of Predictions

It should be noted that Russia was spoken about more than once. Books have been written, research is being done on predictions. Films are being made, people themselves are trying to convey prophecies to others, they are analyzing, studying, comparing. All this is then released to the public. The most interesting is the prophecy about Russia, part of which has already come true. Agree, after all, clairvoyants lived hundreds of years before our time. And their visions were not limited to the twenty-first century. So, many of their prophecies can be considered fulfilled.

Let's take Wang. She loved Russia and spoke about it with pleasure and with some special trepidation. Among the published visions there is one that concerned the Kursk. If you watched a movie about this witch, then you probably remember: everyone thought that she was talking about the city, and the disaster happened to the submarine. Vanga's prophecy about Russia is considered one of the most popular. People love to listen and read positive information. Let's get acquainted with the predictions of the Bulgarian witch in more detail.

Vanga: a prophecy about Russia

You should start with the recent affairs (in relation to eternity). Around the eighties of the last century, Vanga had to answer the question about the likelihood of a Third World War. Her words sounded unexpected and were not understood. She literally said the following: "Syria has not yet fallen." In those days, nothing foreshadowed the troubles of this prosperous country, however, like the USSR. However, now we see the importance of Syria for global security. Many are waiting for news about the ups and downs of the war in this country and worry about Assad. Recall that from the moment when the seer predicted this situation, about thirty years have passed. But back to Russia. The Bulgarian clairvoyant considered her the future stronghold of the world. Vanga's prophecy about Russia is filled with unprecedented warmth and pride. She said that it was this country that would give the world hope in the most scary times. Here an idea will be born, which in time will be accepted by all peoples.

What Vanga saw Russia

The seer predicted many troubles for our world. She believed that people would wallow in sin. Russia will be cleared first. A new philosophical doctrine will arise on its territory. It will spread throughout the planet, leading people to light and peace. Other religions will gradually disappear. It is important that, according to Vanga, this is already happening! It was delivered in 1979. The seer named the exact date, in twenty years! That is, we are already new reality. And of course, the most famous is the mysterious phrase about the glory of Russia and Vladimir. It will never fade, nothing will stop the greatness of this country. Russia will be the spiritual leader of the whole world. And the current hegemon - America - will bow before her. In addition, already in those days, the seer knew about the collapse of the USSR, which occurred much later. She repeated that the Slavs would unite again in a new capacity. She also wanted her beloved Bulgaria to enter this great union and become part of a prosperous world.

However, the seer warned that the “golden age” would have to be paid dearly. Many sacrifices would be made, she repeated. But nothing can break Russia and stop it. There are also strange words in the film, which were not understood by many at that time. Vanga said that in Russia "the dead will stand next to the living." Experts gave them some abstract meaning and could not explain what the clairvoyant meant. The event that Vanga spoke about happened before our eyes! There is no doubt that the seer had in mind the action "Immortal Regiment", when, in response to the aggression of the West, the people demonstrated the cohesion and devotion to the great ancestors, which is so necessary for society. The strength of the spirit of all generations of Russians was awakened by this action. Vanga could not describe it in more detail, or maybe she did not see the details. But the essence of the event conveyed completely.

Messing's prophecies about Russia

To our deep regret, this clairvoyant did not like to reveal the secrets of the future. He, as contemporaries testify, tried to confine himself to answering specific questions. Fame brought him that he named the exact dates of the beginning and end of World War II. However, it cannot be said that he was not at all interested in the events of the future. He kept diaries in which he recorded visions. After the death of Messing, they were seized. And now the content of the manuscripts is kept under the heading "secret".

Messing's well-known prophecies about Russia are that the country will become stronger and freer only after the collapse of the USSR. We have all been through this together. Therefore, the situation can be expected to improve. Messing devoted a lot of time to ordinary people. He was happy to talk with them, tried to help reveal purely specific personal questions and secrets. That is, he devoted himself to serving the people. By the way, the clairvoyant considered his abilities to be the most ordinary. He claimed that everyone has them. It's just that people don't develop them.

Elders about Russia

You know, there are special people among believers. Through prayer and fasting they reach an extraordinary state. They receive information about the future. Sometimes they share it with contemporaries. They write down the prophecies of the elders.

Much has been said about the future of Russia. The main thing is that the people of this country need to remember about faith in God. It is in spirituality that the revival of the Russian state lies. Note that the prophecies of the elders about the future of Russia are ambiguous. Matthew Vresfensky said that the country would be reborn and begin to grow stronger. However, almost the whole world will take up arms against her. The elder foresaw big war. It will start in Yugoslavia (it has already happened) and take billions of lives. Russia will endure everything and create a "just kingdom". It will unite other countries around itself, but will not conquer them.

Other prophecies of the elders about Russia are not so optimistic from the point of view of modern man. The fact is that they believed in the end of the world. That's what they were talking about. But before the end of times, Russia is destined to be reborn. It will become the main state on the planet. Elder Vladislav (Shumov) predicts war with China and Germany. And it will happen at the same time. Everything will be on fire, but Russia will stand. It is interesting that the Chinese who came to the territory of the country will become Orthodox.

Troubles predicted by Russia

Not everything in the visions of clairvoyants is as magnificent as we would like. The prophecies of the elders about the future of Russia contain information about troubles and troubles. In addition to wars, they predict climate and ecological disasters. Thus, Lavrentiy Chernigovskiy said back in the forties of the last century that people would have to go through a long period of schisms and heresy. But faith will live in a few. It is they who will lead Russia to the light. She will be reborn by the cares of the Queen of Heaven.

Many prophecies of the elders about Russia speak of the revival of the monarchy. They believed that a person appointed by the Lord himself, that is, the anointed of God, should lead the country. He will be a very strong and honest person. He will revive Orthodoxy, as sincere faith burns in his soul. People will love and trust him. This is how the elders saw the future of Russia.

Nostradamus

The French astrologer left many manuscripts in which he talked about his visions. Some quatrains tell about the fate of Russia. He called it the new Babylon.

By the way, the prophecies of Nostradamus about Russia have been tested by time. Some of them have already come true. For example, the execution of the royal family and the coming to the leadership of Stalin. Nostradamus also talked about the greatness of Russia. He believed that the people would become one Messiah. Under the leadership of Russia, the whole world "will go to beat the robbers." This is how his quatrains are translated.

Researchers believe that such events are already beginning. Nostradamus built his predictions in chronological order. If you believe his quatrains, then the heyday of Russia began in 2014. Further, no tests can break or destroy it. The prophecy about Russia of Nostradamus is considered one of the most popular. Interestingly, an astrologer in the sixteenth century predicted the development of mankind for millennia ahead. He has seen the fall of empires and the pain of nations. His quatrains contain information about the termination and emergence of dynasties. He considered Russia to be the country that would bring prosperity to the world. He said that here they would be able to overcome aggressiveness and build a fair order. And the whole world will follow Russia.

I must say that many of the seer's quatrains have already been deciphered. It was recognized that his predictions reflect the events that occurred. Therefore, attention to the works of Nostradamus does not weaken. It is constantly being studied. He is rightfully considered one of the most popular soothsayers and mysterious personalities.

Paisiy Svyatogorets

The elder, who lived in Greece, was practically our contemporary. His words are listened to mainly among sincere believers. Paisius Svyatogorets gave a lot of soul strength for the revival of Orthodoxy. He collected prophecies about Russia in a book. It says that the country will have to fight. The arena of action will be the Middle East. Here the forces of China, Russia and Europe will clash. According to Starets, Turkey will disappear from the map. The people here will convert to Orthodoxy. He also talked a lot about the role of the Jews, who will suffer a well-deserved punishment.

We will not argue that the predictions of the Elder are the most popular. However, they are consistent with the visions of other clairvoyants that Russia needs to strengthen its spirit and faith in the Lord. Only the strong will win, drive evil from the earth. And apart from Russia, there will be no one to do this. So thought Elder Paisios the Holy Mountaineer. Prophecies about Russia sounded from different parts of the world and times. It should be noted that their popularity depends on the audience. But there are also such predictions that have become known to everyone.

Seraphim Vyritsky

This Elder, who lived at the beginning of the last century, saw much suffering in the future of Russia. He grieved that godlessness would descend on the earth and warned others about it. "We must pray, renouncing sin," said Seraphim Vyritsky.

The prophecies about Russia made by him were of a spiritual nature. The elder believed that only patience would save the people. The Lord Himself will have mercy on him, then an unprecedented dawn awaits the country. But before that, you have to endure a lot of things. By the way, Seraphim Vyritsky made prophecies about Russia during conversations with ordinary people who came to him for a blessing. So, in 1939, he did not order one visitor to marry. He predicted a great war, which actually happened. He also gave a lot of advice to parishioners. And he invariably repeated that the glory of the country lies in the patience of its people. The suffering of the spirit will strengthen and allow you to overcome all the devilish temptations and persecutions. Many prophecies of the saints about Russia were devoted to this topic. They all saw the hard times ahead. This refers to wars, and revolution, and perestroika. However, their confidence that the people would be able not to lose faith and their common soul was unchanging and firm.

About hard times

You know, many prophecies about the future of Russia are connected with the decline of spirituality. In this, the clairvoyants saw the great sin of the people. As we now see for ourselves, the country had a hard time last century. The perspicacious Elders saw this.

Orthodox prophecies about Russia are connected precisely with the fact that people will turn away from the church and become atheists. Seraphim of Sarov said that few believers would remain, then great troubles would descend on these lands. He predicted: "Angels will not have time to receive the souls of the dead." This has already been fulfilled and concerned the revolution and the Great Patriotic War.

Even the Elder was sure that Russia was waiting for a revival. It will become the greatest power on the planet, uniting all the Slavs. Approximately the same saw the future Matrona of Moscow. She spoke of the times when one would have to choose between the material and the spiritual. But the Lord will not leave this land, she repeated.

If we analyze all the prophecies about the future of Russia, we will come to the conclusion that through suffering the people will deserve that "golden age" that some clairvoyants speak of. They selected words and images according to the period in which they lived. Therefore, they have to be deciphered for the modern reader. But the meaning is clear. First, Russia will come to greatness through suffering. Secondly, and more importantly, the approach of this happy time depends on people. Literally from everyone. It is necessary to work with the soul, rejecting temptations, cultivating faith and steadfastness in oneself. Do not oppose such an idea and Athonite prophecies About Russia.

So, relatively recently Schema-Archimandrite Stefan said that a difficult fate awaits the United States. This country is destined to completely perish. Its inhabitants will be embraced by Russia and Serbia. No one else will find the strength to show compassion for these people. For that the Lord will reward Russia.

Conclusion

It should be noted that the described prophecies for the most part do not concern the distant and foggy future, but our present. Right now is the moment when Russia is at a fork in the road. Remember, as in a fairy tale: a good fellow stood in front of a stone and thought where to go next. So are the people of Russia. Now is not the time to seek prophecy. Now they need to be fulfilled. And in this case, the strength of every citizen who considers himself a resident of this country is needed. The souls will unite into a monolith, and that great nation, about which the seer and the Holy Elders spoke, will be born. Just not by itself. The reader also needs to take part in this, and everyone around. We are the ones who will fulfill the prophecies or perish with the country.

The future is part of the timeline, a lot of events that have not yet happened, but will happen. Due to the fact that events are characterized by both time and place, the future occupies the region of the space-time continuum.
Among the predictors of the future, such well-known Personalities as Dmitry Silin stand out; great Russian saints - Sergei of Radonezh, Seraphim of Sarov, the elders of Optina Hermitage; holy fools - St. Basil the Blessed, Galaktion Beloezersky. Known prophecies about the future of Russia and its fate famous people people of foreign soothsayers - Nostradamus, Vanga. There is no need to talk about all the prophecies, since among them there are already fulfilled and not related to modern Russia.
Let us dwell on the most interesting and important predictions for the future of Russia.

Particular attention should be paid to the predictions of the Bulgarian soothsayer Vanga, which today have acquired a new meaning. During her lifetime, many of the words of the clairvoyant were incomprehensible to us. For example, at the end of the 20th century, no one could believe Vanga's prediction that Kursk would go under water. However, her words were simply misunderstood. In 2000, the Kursk submarine sank. After this event, Vanga's biographers began to be more attentive to all her prophecies.
It is difficult to imagine that Vanga knew about the current events in Russia and Ukraine in the second half of the last century. Biographer Vanga Boyka Tsvetkova published one of the predictions of the Bulgarian prophetess:
“Increasingly, there will be people who will have eyes, but will not see, who will have ears, but will not hear. Brother will go against brother, mothers will abandon their children.
In the 20th century, no one could even imagine what it was all about. However, right now all Vanga's words take on a clear meaning. The prophetess spoke specifically about the situation in Ukraine. "Brother will go against brother" - the confrontation between the two sides in Ukraine. “People do not hear and do not see” - this is the West, which sees and hears only what is beneficial to it.
The following words of Vanga describe the outcome of everything that happens: “What was united will crumble into pieces. It will be next to Russia.” Now it is obvious what the Bulgarian clairvoyant wanted to say then - Ukraine broke up.

After unification of Russia and Crimea many of Vanga's predictions made sense. Back in 1979, the prophetess said:
“Everything will melt like ice. Only one thing will remain untouched - the glory of Russia, the glory of Vladimir. Too much has been sacrificed. Nobody can stop Russia. She will sweep away everything in her path and become the ruler of the world.”
Vanga also predicted that the Slavic peoples would unite. A ruler will come to power in Russia, who will unite all the Slavic lands. This association will mark the beginning of Russia's world domination and the cessation of wars and interethnic conflicts.
According to Vanga's predictions, Russia will become the dominant country. US influence will weaken. Moreover, Vanga said that the economic crisis would break her in the future.

For the most part, psychics and soothsayers speak about our country in laudatory tones, stating that Russian Federation after 2016, we expect development and a purposeful path to prosperity and strengthening our influence on the rest of the world.
So, for example, Pavel Globa has repeatedly stated that with the advent of this year, Russia will create a powerful union, which will include more than five countries of the former Soviet space. By the way, this was also confirmed by the well-known American political scientist George Friedman, who said that in 2015 the revival of the USSR began, after which a new round of the Cold War would begin between Russia and the United States.

According to the forecast of Pavel Globa, for Russia 2016 will be a time of great changes associated with great shocks.
Dramatic events will unfold in Ukraine, where already in the spring of 2014 the country split into western and eastern.
At the end of 2015, when Jupiter and Saturn enter the Aquarius constellation, the time will come for unifications and all kinds of integrations, the two countries will leave the European Union, but the most global changes will happen in Russia, which will unite some of the post-Soviet republics around itself, and also take the eastern part of Ukraine under its wing.
“The third wave of the crisis, which will take place in 2016-2020, will not be the most severe, but the factors of human fatigue from life in conditions of constant stress will affect. Only by the end of 2020 will all of humanity finally say goodbye to this crisis, which will be called the Second Great Depression, ”the astrologer assures.
According to Pavel Globa, the end of the crisis is associated with the neighborhood of Jupiter and Saturn, which occurs once every 20 years and marks positive changes. Given that Jupiter will approach Saturn in the first degree of Aquarius, the constellation associated with Russia, indicates that it is Russia, which by then will revive its imperial power, that has the greatest chance of becoming the new world leader.

According to the astrologer, the post-crisis 30 years of 2020-2050 will be the time of Russia's revival. At the same time, Pavel Globa referred to the works of the medieval Russian astrologer Vasily Nemchina, who lived before Nostradamus.
“A powerful, new personality will come to power in Russia in 2020-2021, which Nemchin called the “Rider on the White Horse.” In terms of scale, this ruler will be comparable to Peter I. He will be tall. What "white horse" means, I don't know. But perhaps he will be born in the year of the horse,” said Pavel Globa.
“The new leader will rule for a short time, but will leave an outstanding mark. He will be replaced by another great ruler, with whom the revival of Russian culture will be associated. Nemchina called him "The Great Potter". And the revival of Russia will last at least 30 years,” concluded Pavel Globa.

Modern predictors see the future of Russia:
- The European Union - the beginning of the destruction of 2017 - 2221. Provides support to the authorities of Central and Western Ukraine until 2018. Since 2018, he has been forced to cooperate with Russia. At the end of 2119, the Baltic states go into the zone of influence of Russia. Since 2221, the Balkans have been under the influence of Russia. 2226 - Germany and Poland join the New Economic Education led by Russia.
- The United States - since 2015 ceases to play the role of a world leader. The beginning of the collapse of the American colonial system. The dollar feels insecure. The third (information) world war is ending. There will be a small war with Mexico in the future. Will end with US concessions. The English-speaking world will gradually lose its dominant influence. It will remain within Australia, New Zealand, the US, the UK and Canada.
- China - will support Russia in all endeavors and will strive to unite the economies. Leadership in the foreign arena will give Russia, while maintaining its individuality. He will maintain a positive, but wary attitude towards Russia.

- Japan - since 2224 gravitates towards a new economic and political alliance. From 1926, political agreements will also be signed.
- India - since 2221, it has been especially close to Russia.
- Islam. 2016 year; active cooperation with Russia of Syria, Iran, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Afghanistan. There will be riots in Pakistan in the late 20s and the threat of war will be felt. In general, the Islamic world will boil, but there will be no global conflicts, with the exception of Pakistan.

The new leader of Ukraine will be manifested by the end of 2018. The name of the country - "Ukraine" will be called into question. The leader will profess pro-Western values ​​and create more disaster than good for the people. By 2018, he will have to cooperate with Russia.
- 2021 Active economic cooperation between the Scandinavian countries and Russia.
- 2022 Active economic cooperation with Russia of Central America.

- Dollar - the fall of the dollar will occur at the end of 2019. 2020 - the collapse of the US economy.
The disappearance of the dollar, and hence the US debt of 100 trillion. dollars, will return to the Western economy as a real destructive boomerang that will sweep away the remnants of hopes for economic stabilization, both in the West and in the East.

Only Russia with countries from among the former republics of the USSR will have a normal economy. However, Russia will have to actually re-create its currency system, relying on its vast reserves of precious metals.
In addition to Russia, the Arab-Muslim Union with its center in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which will rely on the reserves of hard gold in Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Whether these predictions will come true, we will have to find out very soon, but one cannot but agree that almost all of them give hope for the best.

"Even the most prosperous outcome of the war will never lead to the collapse of Russia, which rests on millions of Russian believers of the Greek confession.
These latter, even if they are later corroded by international treaties, will just as quickly reunite with each other, just as separated droplets of mercury find this way to each other.
This is the indestructible State of the Russian nation, strong with its climate, its spaces and its unpretentiousness, as well as through the awareness of the need to constantly protect its borders. This State, even after a complete defeat, will remain our offspring, an adversary seeking revenge.

Otto von Bismarck

“The US is shooting itself in the foot. The country refuses to share its power with anyone. In 5-10 years, America is waiting for the biggest collapse "

Jim Rogers(American billionaire).

In 2015, in an interview, he said that he was going to invest in the ruble. Moreover, he believes in the Russian economy more than in the American one.
