It has already been noted in other articles that Hopi Indians , Edgar Cayce, and also Nostradamus indicated in some detail about the end of one era and the beginning of another. The leader of the new time, according to these predictions, will be a new political leader who will appear in Russia and, having naturally received power within the country, will spread his influence to international level. The most interesting thing is that various predictions of the ancient holy elders about what awaits Russia and Ukraine in 2017 - 2018 also repeat this plot. The only new detail that appears when these predictions about the future are considered is war. 
Indeed, the predictions of the holy elders about Russia often describe various military actions. Today, if you turn on the TV or go online, you can see that there is no end to this war. Ruling circles interested in conducting military operations on both sides. That is why all the predictions of the holy ancient elders for 2017 - 2018, when they describe what awaits Russia at this time, always touch on the topic of a new political leader who will stop this war. The ancient saints of Athonite and Optina elders describe in their prophecies and predictions that a military conflict is inevitable, and that it is precisely in order to stop the war and prevent a nuclear disaster that God will send a pre-elected anointed king.
As noted earlier, this image of a new king chosen by God is very archetypal. The predictions of the holy ancient elders about Russia connect the improvement of life and the end of the war with the time when this particular person will be at the top political power. The ancient holy elders point out that the very heart of every resident of our country will feel this politician. This is how predictions and prophecies describe the unconscious feeling of the figure of this political leader new era. 
From the point of view of psychology and science, the predictions of the holy ancient elders that Russia in 2017 - 2018 can be explained quite simply. Any person who uses various techniques, such as prayer, meditation, immersion in a trance state, gains information access to the field of the Collective unconscious. Prayer, meditation, immersion in a trance state are different terms for the same process. A person slows down the vibrations of his brain and enters a trance state. This state is also called an altered state of consciousness. Further, a person connects through psycho-emotional images to the Noosphere or the information field of the earth, from where this or that information comes to him, depending on his request.
Predictions and prophecies of the holy ancient elders about the Third World War
The predictions and prophecies of the ancient holy elders about Russia for 2017 - 2018 are information received by representatives of various religious faiths, which systematically came to them as part of prayer practices. It is not surprising that Nostradamus and the holy elders describe the same political figure of the new era, although Nostradamus himself was in to a greater extent a practicing physician by profession. However, Nostradamus also describes the collective unconscious that will bring this new political leader to power, also calling him God. It is important to understand that the terms used by various prophets always follow their picture of the world.
For this reason, the predictions of the ancient holy elders about the future of Russia will always have such descriptions as: God, Jesus Christ, the holy army, angels, the Orthodox Tsar, the church, etc. It is absolutely clear why representatives of various religious branches use these designations in their prophecies - this is their picture of the world. Prophets, connecting through the prayer practice of the Orthodox Christian Church to the Collective Unconscious, which in religion is designated by the word God, see various images, that is, they receive information in a sensory form and then interpret it in the way they can translate it for everyone else.
Predictions of the holy ancient elders about Russia briefly
That is why the predictions and prophecies of the ancient holy elders about the future of Russia for 2017 - 2018 tell about the same events that were described by Edgar Cayce, and Nostradamus, and the elders of the Hopi Indians. It’s just that the terms of all these prophecies differ from each other, so readers and researchers do not immediately understand that all these operators, contactees or mediums, as science calls them, or seers and prophets, as religion describes them, receive information from the single information field of the Earth or Noosphere.
Predictions of the holy ancient Athonite elders: Paisiy Svyatogorets
The predictions of Elder Paisius the Svyatogorets, who was a schema-monk of the Constantinople Orthodox Church, are extremely popular in our time. Paisiy Svyatogorets was a monk of Mount Athos and is known for his ascetic activities, spiritual instructions and prophecies. Paisiy Svyatogorets was born in 1924 and died in 1994, and is a widely revered holy elder in Greece and Russia. In 2015, Paisius the Svyatogorets was unanimously canonized by the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. In the same year, the Holy Synod included St. Paisius the Svyatogorets in the so-called monthly book of the Russian Orthodox Church. The predictions of the Athonite elder Paisius the Holy Mountain, if described in just a few sentences, describe the future coming war between Greece and Turkey. In this war, according to the predictions of Paisius the Holy Mountain, Greece will win and expand its territories, regaining Constantinople. As a result of such crushing military actions, a third of all Turks will convert to Orthodoxy, and the other third will become refugees; the rest will be destroyed during the military conflict. The predictions of Elder Paisius the Svyatogorets also describe that the very words about the Turkish invasion, since it is Turkey that will attack Greece, very often come from those who, in the event of war, will themselves go over to the side of the Turks.

Predictions of the Athonite elder Paisius the Holy Mountain about war
However, Paisius the Svyatogorets himself was convinced that Greece would get Constantinople, since Russia, having entered this war, would give this city to its allies. The predictions of Elder Paisius the Holy Mountain also describe a possible situation in which Europe will support the Kurds and Armenians in Turkey, as a result of which the country will completely cease to exist as a separate state. A number of Russian media, following foreign ones, began to describe verbatim the predictions and prophecies of the holy Athonite elder Paisius the Holy Mountain after Turkey shot down a Russian Su-24 aircraft in Syria in November 2015.
Elder Nikolai Guryanov predictions
Nikolai Alekseevich Guryanov was born in 1909 near St. Petersburg and died in 2002 in the Pskov region. Today Nikolai Alekseevich Guryanov is one of the most revered saints of the ancient elders of the Russian Orthodox Church. Elder Nikolai Guryanov told his predictions, which also describe the figure of a new political leader who will appear in Russia. Elder Nikolai Guryanov emphasizes that this person is the only one who can stop the war between different states.The prophecies and predictions made by Nikolai Guryanov describe in sufficient detail the situation that will develop at the time this archetypal political leader of the new era comes to power, who, in fact, was seen in different trance states by completely different predictors. However, if you study verbatim the predictions and prophecies made by the ancient holy elder Nikolai Guryanov, and also compare them with other materials, the picture will look more complete.
Elder Nikolai Guryanov
Below is a video that describes various predictions of the ancient holy elders about Russia. Predictions and prophecies of the holy ancient elders describe the possible outcome of the situation in the future. It is NOT a fact that they should come true, but the probability of this is present. It is important to understand that the relevance of the information provided lies precisely in the likelihood of such events, which were predicted by a large number of prophets. It should be noted that the descriptions of the situation that has developed today are fully consistent with everyday realities.
Thus, it is necessary to recognize that the predictions and prophecies of the holy ancient elders describe a certain probability of tragic world events, which are commonly called the Third world war or Judgment Day. The holy ancient elders note that this situation can be avoided if a new political leader appears in our country, who has, in religious terminology, a direct connection with God, that is, God controls this new political leader 100%. If we describe this leader differently, then this person must have an acquired skill of entering a trance state and receiving information from the Noosphere. Only such a new political leader will be able to solve the world's accumulated problems.
Predictions of the holy ancient elders about Russia for 2017 - 2018
After watching this video, you can conclude that absolutely different people, that is, the so-called holy ancient elders, generally described possible future negative scenarios in very similar images, almost identically. They all also described a new political leader. It is also important to note that they all mentioned the need for group joint prayer, which is aimed at first repenting, that is, admitting to God or the collective unconscious that we cannot choose a worthy Ruler for ourselves, and then ask that such a leader was revealed to the people, that is, so that the heart itself could smell it.
It turns out that in order for a new political leader with a direct connection with the Noosphere or God to appear in Russia, we need:
- repent(that is, mentally in prayer or meditation turn to God or any other psychological meaningful image and say that we as a people cannot choose a worthy ruler for ourselves and therefore refuse such a choice in this place)
- ask(that is, turn to God or another psychologically significant image, so that He would endow the person from the people of Russia whom He chose for this role and give him all the strength and means, and also so that the necessary situation would arise for this new political leader to come to power and brought order to the country)
Prophet Ezra about the coming of a new political leader
The biblical prophet Ezra also wrote about the arrival of a new political leader. The third book of the prophet Ezra, like many other sources, describes the appearance of this figure in quite detail. God gives the prophet Ezra full information that a new political leader will emerge who will have a direct connection with God, since the decision of political, economic and social issues At present, it is no longer possible without information from the Noosphere or from God, if we use religious terms. The Prophet Ezra in his book describes in detail how God gave him all the necessary information about the coming of the so-called anointed of God, and also under what circumstances this happened.Prophecy 1:
One doctor asked the Elder what awaits us in the future?
“Only God knows the future, my child.”
— Geronta, will there be big wars?
- What are you asking, child? And you can’t imagine what will happen!
Prophecy 2:
Today, reading prophecies is like reading a newspaper: everything is written so clearly. My thoughts tell me that many events will happen: the Russians will occupy Turkey, Turkey will disappear from the map, because 1/3 of the Turks will become Christians, 1/3 will die and 1/3 will go to Mesopotamia.
The Middle East will become the scene of wars in which the Russians will take part. A lot of blood will be shed, and even the Chinese will cross the Euphrates River, having an army of 200,000,000, and reach Jerusalem.
A characteristic sign that these events are approaching will be the destruction of the Omar Mosque, because its destruction will mean the beginning of work on the reconstruction of Solomon's temple, which was built on that very spot.
It will happen in Constantinople great war between Russians and Europeans, and a lot of blood will be shed. Greece will not play a leading role in this war, but Constantinople will be given to it, not because the Russians will revere us, but because there is no better solution, and they will agree together with Greece, and difficult circumstances will put pressure on them. The Greek army will not have time to get there before the city will be given to it. The Jews, since they will have the strength and help of the European leadership, will become insolent and show themselves with shamelessness and pride and will try to rule Europe. Then 2/3 of Jews will become Christians.
Unfortunately, today people are being pushed into theology who have no relation to the Church and with absolutely worldly wisdom, who say different things and commit impermissible actions, with the goal of deliberately removing Christians from the faith with their position. The Russians did the same when they wanted to introduce communism in Russia. What were they doing there? After some incorrect priests and theologians joined the party - and were already “at one with them” - they were forced to accuse the Church and often speak against it. So they poisoned the people because they could not recognize the role of these theologians. Then they took one of their priests, who was very fat due to illness, searched for months for some bony guy, put them on one poster and wrote at the bottom: “This is how the Church lives and how the people are in poverty.” They also took a photograph of the patriarch's chambers, covered with carpets, furniture, etc., and placed next to the barracks of one of the beggars (like our gypsies) and said: look at the luxury of the priests and how the Russian citizen vegetates! So they managed to little by little poison the people and “spoil their thoughts.” And after the people devoured each other, they also appeared and, as we know, threw Russia back 500 years and left it dying, killing millions of Russian Christians.
They will plot many intrigues, but through the persecution that follows, Christianity will be completely united. However, not in the way that those who are machinating a worldwide unification of churches want, wanting to have one religious leadership at its head. They will unite, because in the current situation there will be a separation of the sheep from the goats. Each sheep will strive to be close to another sheep and then “one flock and one Shepherd” will be realized. Are you getting into it? We see that this is already partly being realized: Christians, you saw, have already begun to feel that they are in an unhealthy climate, and will try to avoid painful situations and flock in thousands to monasteries and churches. You will soon see that there are two parts of people in the city: those who will live a prodigal life far from Christ, and the rest who will flock to vigils and places of worship. The average state, as now, can no longer exist.
Prophecy 3:
One day I came down and saw the Elder somewhat embarrassed and upset. He treated me and began to speak:
“Some people came here and began to tell me that there would be a war, and that the Turks would enter Greece, and that they would drive us six miles to Corinth (explaining the prophecy of Cosmas of Aetolia, erroneously, corrupted by their thoughts). Then I took them on and said that the worst enemy for the Hellenes is that when all over the world certain Hellenes like you spread that if war happens, the Turks will drive us to Corinth, because when the war starts, everyone will have the spirit is broken and they themselves will retreat to Corinth. Moreover, even if this were the truth, one cannot talk about it. Especially when it is not true. And I repeat to you again: don’t talk about this anywhere, because you will do much more evil than many Turkish divisions would do.
I told them this, and they forced me to explain, although I never wanted to talk about prophecies, that the six-mile distance that Saint Cosmas speaks of is six miles sea shelf. This is the topic for which we are recent years we are squabbling with Turkey, and this will be the matter over which we “fight.” However, they will not enter Hellas: they will advance only these six miles, and then a great disaster will come upon them from the north, as the scriptures say, and “nothing straight will remain.” A third of the Turks will be killed, a third will convert to Christianity, and the rest will go far to Asia. We will not suffer in any way from the Turks. Some unimportant things will be destroyed, and the wrath of God will come upon them.
I heard this from them and was upset. I could not believe that the Greeks themselves, by spreading such things during peace, would provide the Turks with the greatest help.
They also began to tell me that what Saint Cosmas said: “then it will come when two summers and two Paschals come together,” now that the Resurrection (Easter) coincided with the Annunciation - and winter passed like summer - means that the Turks will attack Hellas (Greece).
We have all become prophets, my father, and we explain things with our minds as we want. And here I was forced to tell them that Saint Cosmas, when he said: “then he will come,” did not mean the Turks. I understood that then freedom would come for the inhabitants of Northern Epirus. And indeed, this year the borders were opened after so many years, and they can, in some way, freely communicate with their fatherland.
My father, I have seen that these people cause great harm by explaining things with their poor minds. And what’s more, they convey their corrupted thoughts to others.
Prophecy 4:
So “nobly” they will divide Turkey into parts
The brother asked the Elder about the events in Serbia, and he, among other things, said:
— Europeans are now making, for the sake of the Turks, independent areas where Muslims live (Bosnia and Herzegovina). I see, however, that Turkey will be divided in a noble way: the Kurds and Armenians will rebel, and the Europeans will demand that these peoples be made independent. They will then say to Turkey: we did you a favor there, now the Kurds and Armenians should gain independence in a similar way. This is how Turkey will be “nobly” divided into parts.
Saint Arsenios in Faras told believers that they would lose their fatherland, but would soon receive it again.
Prophecy 5:
In the summer of 1987, I asked the Elder about the future world war, the one called “Armageddon” and described in the Scriptures.
With fatherly interest, he told me various information. And he even wanted to discover certain signs that would convince us that we are really in the generation of Armageddon. So he said:
“When you hear that the Turks are blocking the waters of the Euphrates in the upper reaches with a dam and using them for irrigation, then know that we have already entered into the preparation of that great war and thus the way is being prepared for a two hundred million army from the rising of the sun, as Revelation says.
Among the preparations is this: the Euphrates River must dry up so that a large army can pass through. Although - the Elder smiled at this place - if two hundred million Chinese, when they arrive there, drink one cup of water, they will drain the Euphrates!
I was told that China's army currently numbers two hundred million, i.e. that specific number that St. John writes about in Revelation. The Chinese are even preparing a road, which they call the “miracle of the era”: its width is such that thousands of soldiers lined up in a line can easily pass along it. And by this time they had already brought it to the borders of India.
However, it is necessary great attention and an enlightened, pure mind so that we can discern the signs of the times, because, in some way, everything happens that those who do not care about purifying their hearts cannot discern them, and, as a result, are easily mistaken. Suppose someone knows that in order for an army of millions to pass through, the Euphrates River must dry up. However, if one expects this to happen in a miraculous way, i.e. Suppose a large crack opens and all the water disappears, then such a person will be in error, for he did not take care to “enter the spirit” of the Scriptures through purity of heart. Something similar happened with Chernobyl: in Revelation, St. John the Theologian reports that he saw a star falling from the sky and striking the waters and people. Those, however, who expect a star to fall from the sky have long been deluded and will never understand that this has already happened. Chernobyl in Russia means “Wormwood” and we see that enormous damage has been caused, and it will be even greater as time goes on...”
Prophecy 6:
During the procession of the Holy Lady in 1992, the umbrella over the icon of Panagia was held by an ensign from Ioannina. As we walked, I was on his right, and on his left was the Elder, who at some point said to the officer:
- Come on, pray well, so that you will be a standard bearer in the City (Constantinople) when we enter.
And turning to me he said:
- Did you hear what I said?
- Yes, Geronta, I heard. Amen. - I answered him.
Then he smiled and said his characteristic:
- A! (Okay, exactly!).
A day later I went down to his cell and asked about the City. And he said:
“We will take back Constantinople, but not us.” We, due to the fact that the majority of our youth have fallen, are not capable of this. However, God will arrange it so that others will take the City and give it to us as a solution to their problem.
Prophecy 7:
A group of small disciples from Athonias descended to the Elder. They were occupied with one topic: they heard as if the Elder had told some that we would take Constantinople. And they wanted to hear it themselves from his lips and especially ask whether they would live at that time. So, they talked among themselves on the way that someone should ask the Elder about this topic. So they came and sat down with him, but no one dared to ask such a question. They stood up, took the blessing and headed towards the path. The elder, seeing them off, said smiling:
“And know this: we will take Constantinople and you too will live at that time!”
The disciples were struck like thunder by what he said, and they were amazed at the grace that he had, and that he was informed about everything by it, and also that all these terrible things would happen in their generation.
Prophecy 8:
Mr. D.K. visited the Elder. At that time, the USSR was very strong in all respects and no one could even imagine that it could collapse - it was still under Brezhnev’s rule.
The elder, by the way, told him:
- You will see that the USSR will soon collapse.
Mr. D. objected:
- But such strong power, Geronta, who can destroy it? And they don’t dare touch his nail.
- You'll see!
The elder predicted that the USSR would collapse, and that Mr. D. would still be alive and see this (despite the fact that he was already old).
And the Elder continued:
- Know that Türkiye will also fall apart. There will be a war for two and a half years. We will be winners because we are Orthodox.
- Geronta, will we suffer damage in the war?
- Eh, at most, they will occupy one or two islands, and Constantinople will be given to us. You'll see, you'll see!
Prophecy 9:
One afternoon a group of pilgrims arrived at the Elder’s cell. Having taken the blessing, they sat down in the outer archondarik. The elder with good nature brought them traditional Turkish delight, refreshing water and fresh cherry plum, which previous pilgrims had brought to him. He sat down next to him and began a conversation:
Elder: How do they live in the world?
Dimitri: In general, Geronta, means mass media spread evil and are directed towards it. Moreover, small children are also molested.
Elder: What does the law say? Are you filing lawsuits?
Dimitri: We are trying, Geronta, to do something, but they do not accept words.
Elder: You always have a clear conscience because you are doing your duty. God will arrange the rest.
Dimitri: Can you tell us, Geronta, how we should behave in this evil world? So... in general.
Elder: Reasoning is needed. Do you have a confessor?
Dimitri: Yes, Geronta.
Elder: Consult with your confessor, because sometimes we cannot say “yes” or “no,” so reasoning is required.
Here the Elder stood up and left them alone, and they, seizing an opportune moment, agreed to ask the Elder to tell him about Constantinople. Soon the Elder returned and, to the amazement of everyone, before they could ask anything - showing that his spiritual “radar” had picked up their thoughts - he told them:
Elder: What do you say, will we take the City?
They were speechless and did not say anything.
Elder: Tell me, will we take the City?
The group says nothing in amazement.
Elder(jokingly): Braggarts...
Theodore: Let's take Geronta.
Elder: Glory to You, God. (He crosses himself to the east and looks towards the City.)
Dimitri: If God bless, Geront, we will take him.
Elder: Yes, it is from God! Let's take him! Only we won’t take it, but they will give it to us. Those who take it from the Turks will give it to us as a solution, because... will believe that this is beneficial to them.
Dimitri: Geronta, how long will such evil continue?
Elder: Maybe, maybe! However, we will take exams.
Dimitri: Will there be proper leadership?
Elder: God will arrange it. In this war, everyone will emerge victorious. The Greek army will be spectators. No one will return victorious. The arena will be Palestine, their grave will be the Dead Sea. This will be in the first half time. But there will also be a second half-time: after these events, a person will come to despair, and then everyone will study the Gospel and the Scriptures. Christ will have pity on the world and show a sign for faith. Then you will look for an unbeliever.
Dimitri: Geront's troparion to the prophet Elijah says that he is “the second forerunner of the coming of Christ.” He, as we know, did not die, just like Enoch. Will the prophet Elijah come to earth?
Elder(smiling): Prophet Elijah sharpens and prepares his knife! And even before that he will begin with the patriarchs, rulers, priests and monks!
Nikolay: And worldly ones.
Elder: You have ignorance, we have sins. Doesn’t the prayer at the Divine Liturgy say: “About our sins and about human ignorance”? The Prophet Elijah sharpens his knife: however, a lot of attention is needed, because the Fathers speak differently about some things, and interpret the world differently, as, say, about the six miles, which Saint Cosmas of Aetolia reports. (The Turks will leave, but will come again and reach six miles. In the end they will be driven out to the Red Apple Tree (Kokkinh Mhlia). Of the Turks, 1/3 will die, the other 1/3 will be baptized and the last 1/3 will go to the Red Apple Tree.) No one can explain this.
There are six miles in Langadas, Kilnis, in Thrace, in Corinth, but no one knows that those he speaks of are six miles of territorial waters. Don't you read from the Prophets: Joel, Zechariah, Ezekiel, Daniel? It's all said there. For seven years in Palestine they will burn not wood, but sticks, but how do you know the difference between sticks and firewood! You now have heaters in your houses (smiling), while here I burn wood in the stove and know what’s what.
(We are talking about the prophecy of the prophet Ezekiel - 39, 9-10: “Then the inhabitants of the cities of Israel will come out and make fire and burn weapons, shields and armor, bows and arrows, and maces and spears; they will burn them for seven years. And They will not carry wood from the field, nor cut down from the forests, but they will burn only weapons; they will rob their robbers, and rob their extortioners, says the Lord God.”
Christ: Jews...
Elder: One pious Jordanian told me that the Jews dug a tunnel many meters deep under the Omar Mosque, and they want to destroy the mosque in order to build the Temple of Solomon, because... then, they say, the Messiah will come, i.e. Antichrist. Then the Arabians will say to the Christians: Are you not saying, Christians, that the Messiah has already come? What are they saying here now, the Jews?
The elder, having brought refreshments to the newly approaching pilgrims, asked one of them:
Elder: Will we take the City? What do you say?
Christ: I will go to Northern Epirus.
Elder: Let's take the City, let's take Northern Epirus with all of us!
Christ: Seven and I are eight!
Elder: Well done! And I will transfer the relics of Saint Cosmas of Aetolia, they are heavy! What can I say, guys, our books (church books) write and talk about all this, but who reads them? People have no idea. Sleeping in bast shoes!
Dimitri: Are these, Geronta, signs of the times?
Elder: You don’t see the signs, the signs of the times... You must be, excuse me, a sheep not to understand what is happening... Many of the Holy Fathers prayed in order to live in our time, for it is a confessional time. We sleep in bast shoes. Soon they will ask Christians, as they used to ask for their political beliefs.
Nikolay: Will they open a case against us, Geronta?
Elder: Ah, bravo! Affairs.
Dimitri: Geronta, will Greece suffer?
Elder: Greece has experienced many thunderstorms, but there will be more! Greece will not suffer in any way, for God loves her. In Asia Minor we had many relics. On every inch of land you will find holy relics. Let's take Hagia Sophia and the gates will open. No one knows this gate... we'll see what happens, though? What will the minarets become later?
Nikolay: We will destroy them.
Theodore: Let's make them bell towers.
Elder(smiling): No, they will become pillars for the pillars, and the rosary will hang down to the bottom!
Dimitri: Will the leaders of this war be Jews?
Elder: Yes, there will be Jews. The Pope will also help a lot, because all the children of the devil will be considered his (i.e. the Pope) and he will instruct them to follow the Antichrist. That’s why Saint Cosmas said: “Curse the Pope, because... he will be the cause.” The saint meant the Pope of that particular time, who would help install the Antichrist. Other Popes will seem good in comparison.
After hearing this for the first time and the amazing thing that the Elder’s love showed them, the whole group remained silent and excited for some time. The elder stood up, blessed them and showed them the way so that they would not get lost and get to the place.
They left the Elder’s cell shocked, thinking about what God had in store for the future. They also thought that such apocalyptic events should never be forgotten. The names of the group are real, and the brothers asked your love to pray for them, that they may find favor before God. Amen.
Brief information about the life of Elder Paisius
Elder Paisios of Athos (in the world Arsenios Eznepidis) was born in Pharas of Cappadocia, in Asia Minor, on July 25, 1924, on the day of St. Anna, from pious parents. He was baptized on August 7, 1924 by Saint Arsenios of Cappadocia, who gave him his name at baptism. As a child, I really wanted to become a monk. Before serving in the army, he worked as a carpenter, just as our Lord did when he was on earth. In 1945 he was drafted into the army and served as a radio operator. In 1949, he finished his service and immediately went to the Holy Mountain. In 1950 he came to the Esphigmen monastery. There in 1954 he received a ryassophore with the name Averky. In the same year, he went to the sacred monastery of Philotheus, where his uncle was a monk. In 1956, he was tonsured into the minor schema with the name Paisios in honor of Metropolitan Paisios II of Caesarea, with whom they were compatriots (he also came from Farasa of Cappadocia). In 1958, having received a notice from God, he retired from Athos to the sacred monastery of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Stomio Konitskaya. There, with the help of God's grace, he helped thousands of souls and from there in 1962 he went to Sinai for some spiritual reasons. In Sinai he lived in the cell of Saints Galaktion and Epistimia. He returned to the Holy Mountain in 1964 and settled in the Iveron Skete, in the cell of the Holy Archangels. In 1966 he fell ill and was treated for many months in the hospital, where most of his lungs were taken away. While in the monastery Stavronikita was close to famous confessor Father Tikhon, who came from Russia and had many spiritual gifts. The elder served him with great self-sacrifice, offering all the help that was required. Elder Paisiy settled at the request of Father Tikhon (after his death) in his cell of the Holy Cross, where he lived until 1979. After that, he came to the sacred monastery of Kutlumush and settled in the cell of Panaguda. In Panaguda, the Elder helped thousands of souls. All day, from sunrise to sunset, he advised, consoled, resolved problems, banished all embarrassment and filled souls with faith, hope and love for God. He suffered greatly from various illnesses, which he endured with the greatest patience and courage. October 22, old style (November 5, new style) 1993 was released in last time from the Holy Mountain and went to the hesychastirium of St. John the Theologian in Suroti to attend, as usual, the vigil of the feast of St. Arsenius, which is venerated on November 10. Due to illness, he was forced to stay there, and on Tuesday, July 12, 1994, at 11:00 am, the Elder gave up his venerable soul quietly and humbly to the Lord, Whom he loved so much and Whom he served from his youth. He was buried in the monastery of St. John the Theologian in Suroti Thessalonica. He left a commandment: not to remove his relics from the ground until the Second Coming.

In a world where there is a constant flow of information about global terrorism from TV and computer screens, I really want to find a reliable support that supports the desire for good in everyone normal person. The Athonite elders give such hope to many. These spiritual fathers dedicated their lives to saving humanity from the filth of current civilization. Sometimes they make predictions for the future. Moreover, some of them have already come true. For example, the predictions of the Athonite elders about the collapse of the USSR, made long before the tragic event, aroused surprise and distrust.
However, this cup did not pass over the peoples of the powerful superpower. She sank into oblivion. Let's see what the noble fathers said about the fate of the world in the near future.
Preliminary Note
It is necessary to note the incredible interest of the current public in all kinds of prophecies and forecasts based on clairvoyance. The Athonite elders attract the attention of many people. Their words are listened to with awe and hope. Especially lately. After all, the political crisis, aggravated by economic problems, is already visible to the naked eye. And not only in countries former USSR. There is a serious decline in the standard of living of the population throughout the planet. Everyone feels it in their wallet, so to speak. Unfortunately, some specialized services take advantage of this keen interest in the prophecies of Holy Men for their own interests. They cover up their own, deeply politicized information dumps with the name of the Athonite elders.
This is done in order to influence relatively ongoing events. Other authors of materials who want to attract the public to their resources are included in this work against their will. Therefore, it is quite difficult to separate the chaff from the grains of propaganda. It is recommended to read such materials with your soul, trying to understand their content from the point of view of a person who loves all of humanity. But the Athonite elders, deeply religious people, cannot reason differently. Their worldview does not allow it.
Predictions about humanity and morality
The elders’ reasoning about where the peoples of the world are going under the leadership of current leaders is interesting. Paisius the Svyatogorets said long ago that true faith is drying up. Her priests, who have sold out, are being turned into a tool. They profit from parishioners, and do not bring the word of God to the suffering. The times will come when man will not be able to find refuge from the horrors of reality in the Holy Temple. There, under the guise of the teachings of Christ, they will instill in him devilish plans in order to throw the unfortunate man into the fiery crucible of profit and war. Morality will disappear as such. Every sin is accepted as normal.
You and I see that this is already happening. After all, they are trying to show sodomy (Paisiy Svyatogorets put it this way) as an acceptable activity for people. And it’s not just the secular authorities of some countries who do this. They are indulged by priests and religious leaders. The Athonite elders in their speeches pay a lot of attention to the thirst for profit, cultivated in modern society. These, in their opinion, are attempts to lead people away from God. After all, in an effort to constantly receive more and more without working, peoples betray their holy covenants. People are supposed to pray earnestly so that the Lord will protect them from temptations. There is no happiness in material enrichment. This idea is instilled in people in order to turn them into cattle. Let them forget about morality and conscience. Then it will be easy to control the crowd. Hang a carrot in front of the donkey, he will go where the shepherd points.
About the end of times and Armageddon
The decline of morals, departure from God, deception and love of money - this is only the forerunner of more terrible disasters. They talked a lot and with great pain about the upcoming Armageddon. State power will weaken in countries. They will plunge into chaos. There will be no one to stop criminals, punish thieves and murderers. And people will stop growing grain and producing food, because they will turn away from God. Many nations will die of hunger. There will be nothing to eat, nowhere to get bread. But they won’t remember what the Lord commanded to work. New devilish trends will strike the church. People will begin to listen to priests speaking on behalf of the Antichrist.
The prophecies of the Athonite elders also concerned military actions. They even pointed out signs that would be visible to everyone, foreshadowing Armageddon. Thus, Paisius of Athos told his students that a big war would happen in the Middle East, in which the forces of light and darkness would fight. There is an old prophecy that China will send an army of two hundred million to the Middle East. She will cross the Euphrates. But before that, the river will “dry up.” Elder Paisios taught that one should not take literally what was written several hundred years ago. As soon as the Turks block the Euphrates, it will “dry up.” That is, there will be much less water downstream. This is a harbinger of Armageddon. Many people will die in that war. There will be nowhere to hide. Only the true will become protection from the angry flame of this catastrophe.
Athonite elders about Russia
In a world where power will pass to the Antichrist and his army, a believer will have only one hope. The Athonite elders saw her in Russia. It is in this country that the Lord will not be forgotten. False prophets and clergy who have sold themselves to the Antichrist will not be able to shake the true faith of this people. It is from here that salvation will come for all humanity. Only people should pray diligently and support each other. This is the difference between Russians and other peoples. They will never forget that the truth lies in compassion. Numerous tempters will not be able to force the Russian people to abandon their brothers and plunge into selfish love of money. The time will come when the spirit of the people will rise, outraged by the deeds of the Antichrist throughout the world. Rus' will rise. And it will be headed by the Orthodox Tsar.
Many elders, worried about the fate of people, considered it their duty to help believers. After all, their hearts and souls suffer from seeing the terrible events happening everywhere in the world. Thus, Elder Pansophius of Athos compiled a special prayer book. It contains texts with which one should turn to the Lord for protection from evil and temptations. Only by the prayer of the true Orthodox Rus' will stand, the elders said. And with her the whole world will be saved. But efforts will be required from each person. Together we need to care about blessings for Rus'. This country was appointed by the Lord for a most important mission. But she won’t be able to cope with it without believers.
Conflicting Predictions About Putin
Reading the words that are attributed to the holy men about the President of the Russian Federation, one should understand the significance of his personality for the modern political process. After all, this man has been occupying the minds of ordinary citizens in all countries for many years. He is reviled by governments and the media, but admired by ordinary people (and vice versa). It was as if the whole world was focused on this man. The Athonite elders also talked about Putin. All known information can be divided exactly along the confrontation boundary, clearly visible in public opinion. Thus, the Athonite elder Afanasy, as follows from the media, anathematized the president. He considered him a usurper acting to the detriment of Russia. Allegedly, it was V.V. Putin who instigated a war in which brothers kill each other.
It should be noted that the anathema of the Athonite elders is not a completely real thing. Think for yourself, would a Christian, sincerely and with all his soul devoted to the Lord, begin to release aggression into the world? Isn't he thereby helping the Antichrist gain power? Such materials should be treated with caution. Moreover, there are others that are different in content. Thus, Elder Gabriel of Athos said that V.V. Putin took upon himself a huge and heavy cross. Even if he has some mistakes or sins, the Lord will forgive everything. Putin is a sincere person who cares for Rus' and the people. And simple people should help him with passionate prayer. Athonite Elder Afanasy, despite the obvious condemnation of the decisions of the President of the Russian Federation, agrees with the role ordinary person in saving Russia. He said that he placed all his hopes on the people. The Orthodox Russian people will not lie, they will not go against their conscience.
Athonite elders about Ukraine
Elder Parthenius warned against the insincerity of the European Union. In his opinion, if Ukraine joins it, it will be much worse in this country than in Greece. Wars and lawlessness are happening everywhere in the world. But the main thing is that the sins of Sodom are welcomed by rulers and states. Is it on the path of the Orthodox with people who welcome such things? A lot of efforts fell to the lot of the Ukrainian people. He is kind and sincere, and does not wish harm to anyone. That’s why the elders see great power in him. Ukraine will cope with its problems and emerge victorious. People will begin to honor God in their souls. The elders also said that the Slavic people should be together. However, demonic forces separated them for a long time. Everyone should strive to unite the Orthodox. This is their only strength. Whoever among the Ukrainians goes against this will become a servant of the Antichrist, the elders said. And so there is a lot of evil in the world. It is possible to overcome it, survive, and protect the world only together. And Ukrainians are the same Slavic people, like Russians with Belarusians. They need to join hands and unite against sin.
Even Elder Parfeniy warned Ukraine against the debt trap. He gave the example of Cyprus, where Mount Athos is located. Until it joined the European Union, it was a prosperous, strong country. They ruined Cyprus and plunged its people into poverty. There is nothing good about debt. Today you have everything, but tomorrow you will have to give away more than what you received.
Note that there are other predictions of the Athonite elders about Ukraine. They talk about victory over Russia. However, even politicians now admit that there is no war between the fraternal countries. So is it worth reading propaganda materials? People are perspicacious at heart. How can they believe that their relatives have taken up arms against them? After all, many families are separated by a border for more than twenty years, but hearts cannot be torn apart so easily. Will those who love begin to kill?
About Russia and Ukraine
You know, all the elders talk about the same thing. The world is gradually approaching the border where people will have to choose which side to take. This is not about the conflict that struck Ukraine. They talked about souls and faith. Today the planet is engulfed in global processes. They affect every person and occur on many levels: in the economy, politics, and the spiritual sphere. The last one is the most subtle and dangerous. Therefore, everyone considered it their duty to warn people about the Antichrist. He will come to earth in human form. Dad will support him. He will point the believers to him as the messiah. The Antichrist will plunge humanity into chaos and sin, and will push it towards vices and a decline in spirituality. We see all this with our own eyes. And this war is not going on on the battlefields, but in souls. Whom to support, consider as righteous and messenger of the Lord? This is something everyone decides for themselves, judging according to their conscience.
The elders talk about this, that you need to strengthen your faith. It is necessary to firmly know that the Lord will not abandon someone who has not bent his soul and has not been tempted either by gold or by demonic pleasures. You may ask, what does Russia’s relationship with Ukraine have to do with it? Thus, the peoples of these countries found themselves on the first line of the front between light and darkness. As they say, everyone will be rewarded according to their deeds. Nothing else. Therefore, the elders insist on sincere prayer, so that the Lord will show the right path. Is it possible for a brother to go against his brother? But this is precisely what the servants of the Antichrist are pushing people to do. Everything will become clear in time. The repentance of those who made a mistake and succumbed to sin will be cruel. One should strive for peace, believe in Jesus, and support Orthodoxy. It will save you in a world storm.
About America and other “partners”
There are prophecies of the elders regarding the consequences of Armageddon. It is said that two thirds of humanity will die in a bloodbath. The Antichrist will not want to give up his power. He will raise an army against Rus', which will have to fight almost alone for the Lord. By the way, everyone is sure that Orthodox people He will endure and save others. And at the end of this war, America and Japan will go under water. Elder Vladislav (Shumov) told about this. And Australia will sink to the bottom of the sea. After all, it is in these lands that the Antichrist will find many supporters. The cataclysm will also affect Chinese lands. Some of them will be flooded. Then China will want to fight with Russia for territory. And on the other side Germany will attack. But Rus' will survive. People who now live outside the borders of the state will help her. Everyone in the world who considers themselves Russian will unite to restore the greatness of the Motherland.
About Greece and Turkey
Paisius of Athos spoke about a big war in the Middle East. In his opinion, Turkey is expected big problems. After all, Serbia was divided to please this state. Muslims were allowed to create their own country, separate from the Orthodox. The same fate will befall Turkey. The European Union will point out to her the need to allocate land for non-Muslims. will go to Greece, but will lose. The elder claimed that the Orthodox would win this battle. And Constantinople will be given to Greece. Not because her army will be powerful. No, it will be beneficial for everyone. The Russians will take the city, but will lose it to the Greeks. Because this will be useful for the whole world for political reasons. The Turks will have to flee. They will go to Mesopotamia. Orthodoxy will eventually become the faith and hope of the majority of peoples. Even the Chinese will join him.
About World War III
We have already talked about Armageddon and we will repeat it again. The fact is that any listener who listens to the prophecies of the elders understands them through the prism of his own worldview. Therefore, it is recommended to listen and read their words several times, trying to penetrate deep meaning. By the way, some residents of Ukraine perceived the idea of the victory of the people as a harbinger of the collapse of Russia. Is this true? Do the elders talk about this? Everyone never tires of repeating that it is necessary to seek the truth in the soul and strengthen the Orthodox faith. Joseph of Athos went further in his advice. The elder told people to study themselves. They looked not at events, but at their own role in them. Are you acting according to your conscience?
Everything in this world is done by people. Without the support of the people, no ruler will retain power. What's inside a person? How can he deal with the devil? The elder speaks about this in detail in his research. Humility comes to those who have achieved enlightenment. And it lies in self-knowledge! If people follow this road, no Antichrist will be able to deal with them. The Third World War is happening in everyone's soul. Some have previously won, others are still fighting, and others have given up. And there are no allies in this war except the true faith. A Orthodox people invincible. For they never truly abandoned faith in the Lord. You ask, when will this battle come? Isn’t she already walking in our hearts? Look at the news today. Tell yourself, whose side are you on? Were you able to win the first fight? Congratulations!
Predictions of the Elders
Unfortunately, today people are being pushed into theology who have no relation to the Church and with completely worldly wisdom, who say different things and commit impermissible actions, with the goal of deliberately removing Christians from the faith with their position.
When you hear that the Turks are blocking the waters of the Euphrates in the upper reaches with a dam and using them for irrigation, then know that we have already entered into preparations for that great war, and thus the way is being prepared for an army of two hundred million from the rising of the sun, as Revelation says.
Among the preparations is this: the Euphrates River must dry up so that a large army can pass through. Although - the Elder smiled at this place - if two hundred million Chinese, when they arrive there, drink one cup of water, they will drain the Euphrates!
Apostasy (retreat) has set in, and now all that remains is for the “son of perdition” to come. The world will turn into a madhouse. There will be complete chaos, in the midst of which each state will begin to do whatever it pleases. God grant that the interests of those who make big policies will be in our favor. Every now and then we will hear something new. We will see the most incredible, craziest events happen. The only good thing is that these events will follow each other very quickly.
Ecumenism, a common market, one big state, one religion, tailored to their standards. These are the plans of these devils. The Zionists are already preparing someone to be the Messiah. For them, the Messiah will be a king, that is, he will rule here on earth. Jehovah's Witnesses are also waiting for an earthly king. The Zionists will present their king, and the Jehovah's Witnesses will accept him. They will all recognize him as king, they will say: “Yes, it is he.” There will be great turmoil. In this turmoil, everyone will want a king who could save them. And then they will put forward a person who will say: “I am the imam, I am the fifth Buddha, I am the Christ for whom Christians are waiting, I am the one whom the Jehovah’s Witnesses are waiting for, I am the Messiah of the Jews.” He will have five selves.
He will appear to the people of Israel as the Messiah and deceive the world. Hard times are coming, great trials await us. Christians will suffer great persecution. Meanwhile, it is obvious that people do not even understand that we are already experiencing the signs of the end times, that the seal of the Antichrist is becoming a reality. It's like nothing is happening. Therefore, Holy Scripture says that even the elect will be deceived. Those who do not have a good disposition will not receive enlightenment from God and will be deceived during the years of apostasy. Because the one who does not have Divine Grace does not have spiritual clarity, just as the devil does not have it...
The Zionists want to rule the world. In order to achieve their goal, they use witchcraft and Satanism. They look at the worship of Satan as a force that will help in the implementation of their plans. Little by little, after introducing cards and identity cards, that is, compiling personal dossiers, they will slyly begin to apply the seal. With the help of various tricks, people will be forced to accept the seal on their forehead or hand. They will give people a hard time and say, “Only use credit cards, money will be abolished."
In order to buy something, a person will give a card to the seller in a store, and the store owner will receive money from his bank account. Anyone who does not have a card will not be able to sell or buy.
Prophecies of Elder Vladislav (Shumov)
Cards will be introduced in Moscow, and after that there will be famine.
There will be a big earthquake in Moscow. 6 hills in Moscow will turn into one.
No one needs to move from their places: where you live, stay there (rural residents).
Don’t go to the monastery in Diveevo now: the relics of St. Seraphim of Sarov are not there.
Yes, there will still be persecution of the Orthodox Faith!
As soon as you find out that such and such a priest was driven out of the temple, cling to him for the duration of the persecution.
Japan and the United States will go underwater together.
All of Australia will also be flooded.
The ocean will flood the USA all the way to Alaska. So Alaska itself, which will be ours again.
There will be such a war in Russia: from the west - the Germans, and from the east - the Chinese!
The southern half of China will be flooded by the Indian Ocean. And then the Chinese will reach Chelyabinsk. Russia will unite with the Mongols and drive them back.
When China comes at us, then there will be war. But after the Chinese conquer Chelyabinsk, the Lord will convert them to Orthodoxy.
The war between Russia and Germany will begin again through Serbia.
Everything will be on fire!... Great sorrows are coming, but Russia will not perish in fire.
The Turks will again fight the Greeks. Russia will help the Greeks.
Afghanistan faces an endless war.
Know! There will be war here, and there will be war, and there will be war! .. And only then the warring countries will decide to choose one common ruler. You cannot participate in this! After all, this single ruler is...
There will be three great miracles
The first miracle - in Jerusalem - the resurrection from the dead of the holy patriarch Enoch and the holy prophet Elijah on the third day after their murder by the Antichrist!
The second miracle is in the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra; will rise again after the reign of the Antichrist, Venerable Sergius. He will rise from the shrine, walk in front of everyone to the Assumption Cathedral and then ascend to heaven! There will be a sea of tears here! Then there will be nothing to do in the monastery, there will be no grace!
And the third miracle will be in Sarov. The Lord will resurrect St. Seraphim of Sarov, who will be alive for quite some time. Whoever wishes will see him alive! Oh, how many miracles there will be then!
The relics of the Venerable Father Seraphim are in Moscow with a pious old woman. The Angel of the Lord, when necessary, orders her to turn to the first hierarch and say that she has the relics of St. Seraphim. These holy relics will be carried on their shoulders through Kashira along the Volgograd road through Mikhailov to Tambov, and from there to Sarov. In Sarov, Father Seraphim will rise from the dead!
At the time when his relics are carried, there will be darkness among the people, and a great many sick people will be healed! His resurrection in Sarov will be announced on radio and television, and there will be countless people!
At this time, many foreigners will arrive in Sarov from all over the world: both the priesthood and simply the curious. Everyone will be convinced of the resurrection of St. Seraphim: yes, truly, this is the elder who dedicated himself to God on this earth, in this area! This will be a global wonder!
Barsanuphius of Optina
St. Barsanuphius of Optina: “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 just around the corner...
We will live to see 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 force that takes possession of the mind, will and all spiritual qualities person. This is an extraneous force, an evil force. Its source is the devil, and evil people are only the instrument through which it operates. These are the forerunners of the Antichrist.
In the Church we no longer have living prophets, but we do have 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.”
Prophecies of St. Anatoly of Optina
Heresies will spread everywhere and deceive many. The enemy of the human race will act by cunning in order, if possible, to persuade 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 begin to distort the teachings of the Church transmitted by the Holy Fathers from the Holy Spirit, and its very spirit and statutes, and these tricks of the enemy will be noticed only by a few, the most skilled in spiritual life .
Venerable Theodosius (Kashin)
Was it really a war (the Great Patriotic War)? There will be a war. It will start from the east. And then from all sides, like locusts, enemies will crawl towards Russia. This will be a war!
Reverend Kirill Bely
This time is already a rebellion in people (the destruction of the power of the Monarch), there will be great trouble on our land and great wrath on people, and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be captured... as the Lord showed me.
Now I saw the king sitting on the throne and standing in front of him were two brave youths with royal crowns on their heads. And the Lord gave them weapons in their hands against those opposing them, and their enemies will be defeated, and all nations will worship, and our kingdom will be pacified by God and established. You, brothers and fathers, pray with tears to God and His Most Pure Mother of God for the power of the kingdom of the Russian land.
Schema-Archimandrite Stefan (Athos)
America will soon collapse. It will disappear terribly, completely. Americans will flee, trying to escape to Russia and Serbia. It will be so.
Prophecy of Elder Matthew of Vresthenes
This war of the world, perhaps the entire New World Order, against Russia will be terrible in its consequences for humanity, claiming billions of lives. The reason for it will be painfully recognizable - Serbia... After the resurrection of Russia it will be and it will begin in Yugoslavia. Russia will remain the winner, Russian Kingdom, which will be able to establish lasting peace and prosperity on earth after the war, although it will not conquer most of the lands of its opponents.
Elder Vissarion (Optina Pustyn)
There will be something like a coup d'etat in Russia. The Chinese will attack that same year. They will reach the Urals. Then there will be a unification of Russians according to the Orthodox principle...
Elder Anthony
They are now called aliens, or something else, but they are demons. Time will pass, and they will freely reveal themselves to people, being in the service of the Antichrist and his minions. How difficult it will be to fight them then!
Blessed Jerome
One should not think that the Antichrist is either a devil or a demon, but one of the people in whom all Satan has a bodily dwelling.
Blessed Elder Pelageya of Ryazan
IN last times for every Christian there will be a hundred or more sorcerers!... How many books of sorcery and witchcraft are published all over the world under the leadership of Jews?!
There will be great sorrow when the servants of the Antichrist will deprive believers of food, work, pensions... There will be groaning, crying and much more... Many will die, and only those strong in faith will remain, whom the Lord will choose and will live until His Second Coming.
When the Lord allows the Antichrist to appear, then the majority of the clergy will immediately convert to another faith, and the people will follow them!
The Antichrist will sacrifice many nations, which Satan will prepare for this, turning them into ruminant cattle!…
There will be no food, there will be no water, the heat is unspeakable, the stings of animals, strangled people will hang at every step...
Most people in the world, out of hunger, will accept the seal of the Antichrist; very few will not. This seal will forever seal those who accept it for the grace of repentance, that is, they will never be able to repent and will go to hell!
The Antichrist will only have enough food for those who accepted the seal for six months, and then they will begin a great tribulation, they will begin to seek death and will not find it!
The Russian people will be strangled by all means! And Adventists - the satanic faith - have a green light! There will be so much in our country! More to come! Hunger, and in hunger - cannibalism! War and then choose the Antichrist!
Make every effort so that the Lord will deliver you from the sin of Sodom. Satan will give the command to shame especially the clergy and monasticism with this sin!... This sin will be spread on a large scale, this is sodomy!
The Antichrist teaching will differ from the Orthodox teaching of Christ only in that it will deny the redemptive Cross! - said the saint of God Pelagia of Ryazan, - Seventh-day Adventists are the first enemies of the Cross of Christ!
Rich priests crucified the Lord!
Rich priests overthrew the Tsar!
Rich priests will lead us to the Antichrist!
Predictions of Seraphim of Sarov
“To me, poor Seraphim, the Lord revealed that there would be great disasters on the Russian land. The Orthodox faith will be trampled upon, the bishops of the Church of God and other clergy will depart from the purity of Orthodoxy, and for this the Lord will severely punish them. I, poor Seraphim, prayed to the Lord for three days and three nights that he would rather 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 lips they honor Me, but their heart is far from Me”...
Any desire to make changes to 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 completely destroyed, because in it alone Orthodoxy and the remnants of Christian piety are predominantly preserved... We have the Orthodox faith, the Church, which has no blemish. For the sake of these virtues, Russia will always be glorious and terrible and insurmountable to its enemies; having faith and piety, the gates of hell will not prevail against these.”
“Before the end of times, Russia will merge into one great sea with the other lands and Slavic tribes, it will form one sea or that huge universal ocean of the people, about which the Lord God spoke from ancient times through the mouth of all the saints: “The terrible and invincible Kingdom of All-Russian, All-Slavic - Gog and Magog , before whom all nations will stand in awe.” And all this is the same as two and two are four, and certainly, like God is holy, who from ancient times predicted about him and his terrible dominion over the earth. With the united forces of Russia and other nations, Constantinople and Jerusalem will be captured. When Turkey is divided, almost all of it will remain with Russia...”
There are predictions of the elders about the future of the whole world, where the future of Russia and predictions regarding our country in particular are mostly positive. The prophecies of the elders - holy people - speak of future catastrophes, crises in world politics and economics, and also how to overcome all this. Predicting the future is part of those miracles that all famous saints and prophets, such as Seraphim of Sarov, Sergius of Radonezh, Nectarius of Optina and others, could perform.
In the elders' predictions about the future of the world and the fate of Russia, one can identify a single information line, which suggests that we are on the threshold of various changes that will be carried out through disasters and various complications. But some terrible prophecies have already lost their power, they have not come true - from this we can conclude that it is still possible to change the future, it is not 100% planned and there is a possibility of averting the threat of destruction of most of humanity, which can be understood from the prophecies of the holy elders .
First of all, it should be understood that there are several groups of holy elders who created their prophecies. The main ones are the holy elders of the Athos Monastery in Greece and the elders of the Optina Pustyn Monastery in Russia. Also, elder monks from other monasteries of the Orthodox Christian faith created their own prophecies.
The Athonite elders are hermits from the holy Mount Athos, which is located in Greece, but access to which is allowed only to men, and even then not to everyone. Hermits on Mount Athos built monasteries and live theresecluded from the whole world, preaching Orthodoxy. This monastery has stood on Mount Athos for more than a thousand years.Mount Athos is considered holy and is located on the Chalkidiki peninsula. This complex of rock monasteries is the center of Eastern Christian monasticism. Here are ancient monasteries that preserve miraculous icons and relics of saints.
Optina elders are monks living in the holy monastery of Optina Pustyn in the Kaluga region.The Optina Pustyn Monastery has been operating for 7 centuries and is known throughout Russia. Optina monks have a special weight in the Russian Orthodox Church. The elders from this monastery adhered to particularly strict canons of hermitage, therefore they became saints who have the gift of seeing the future of humanity and the fate of an individual, and also have the gift of physical and spiritual healing. Fourteen elders fromOptina Pustyn,who lived at different times in the monastery.
Predictions of Elder Abel the Seer from the Alexander Nevsky Lavra
Abel the Mystic was the first of the elders who gave the first prediction about the future of Russia. Under his supervision, the icon of the Birth of the Virgin Mary was painted, on which words of prophecy about the fate of Russia were carved. After great war 2024 Russia will be ruled great king, and Russia will be reborn. But there may be an inaccuracy in the dates - earlier dates were written in a different way, or the monk himself encrypted the date so that it would not be recognized before the event occurred. Many scientists believe that Abel's prediction about Russia dates back to the period 2008 - 2016.
Predictions of the Athonite Elders
The holy elders from Mount Athos predicted the reign of the false ruler Atichrist over the entire earth. The Lord will allow the Antichrist to come to earth so that it becomes clear who will renounce God for the sake of the material benefits that the Antichrist promises. People will lose faith in their own strength. After this S will come good day.
Predictions of Elder Nektarios of Optina
Elder Nektary from Optina Pustyn could accurately predict any dates, including the date of death, and also read a letter without opening it. According to him, a cold war will begin, manyChristians will flee their homes to save their lives. Russia will lose some of its lands, but will return others and become the spiritual center of the whole world.
Prediction of Elder Christopher of Optina
Georgia and Ukraine will separate from Russia, but will soon regret it. Armenia, on the contrary, will be close to Russia, because it understands that without Russia the country will perish. There will be time, according to the elder, that persecution will begin against Russians, but in general nothing threatens Russia, because it is under the protection of Mother of God. In his visions, Christopher Optina predicted that Russia would never be defeated or disappear, because the Mother of God herself protects our country. Rus' will remain Orthodox, despite the influence of other religions. In case of danger, people will turn to the faith of the Orthodox Church to ask God for help.
Predictions of St. Seraphim of Sarov
“Before the end of times, Russia will merge into one great sea with the other lands and Slavic tribes, it will form one sea or that huge universal ocean of the people, about which the Lord God spoke from ancient times through the mouth of all the saints: “The terrible and invincible Kingdom of All-Russian, All-Slavic - Gog and Magog , before whom all nations will stand in awe.” And all this is the same as two and two are four, and certainly, like God is holy, who from ancient times predicted about him and his formidable dominion over the earth. With the united forces of Russia and other nations, Constantinople and Jerusalem will be captured. When Turkey is divided, almost all of it will remain with Russia...”
