 In Athens, a taxi driver picks up a young woman from the airport.

She was a cultured woman from abroad, and he drives her to her home in Kallithea. Along the way, they are talking about the fare, and the driver thinks to himself what an extraordinary woman she is.


They arrive at the destination. She opens her wallet to pay, but she doesn’t have enough money. She says to the driver, “I’m sorry, I’ll be right back.” She gets out of the taxi and goes into the house.


The driver waits… and waits… but time passes. He begins to wonder what’s going on. Finally, he gets out of the car and knocks on the door of the house.


A woman dressed in black opens the door.


“Excuse me,” the driver says, “I just want the money and I’ll leave.”


“What money?” the woman replies.


“The taxi fare,” he says. “I just brought your daughter from the airport.”


The woman looks at him in shock. “Who did you bring from the airport? My daughter?”


Hearing this, she begins to scream and runs inside, crying.


The driver is confused and thinks the woman might have mental issues. But then he worries—what if something is wrong? What if he said something he shouldn’t have? Afraid she might harm herself, he goes inside.


There, he is confronted by angry men.


“What did you say to her?” they shout. “What have you done on such a difficult day for us?”


“I’m sorry,” the driver says. “You don’t know me, I don’t know you. I just want my money and I’ll leave.”


“How much?” one man asks.


“The fare for bringing your daughter from the airport,” the driver replies.


The man looks at him and asks, “Who did you bring from the airport?”


“Your daughter, sir.”


The man says nothing. He simply looks at the table. There is a plate of koliva — a memorial dish for the dead. On it, there is a photo of a young woman. It reads: two years since her death.


The driver is stunned.


He shouts, “What are you telling me? That I brought a dead woman from the airport?”


Then he continues, trying to prove himself:


“If that’s not your daughter, how did I know about your inheritance matters in Patmos? How did I know about your plans in Lefkada?”


He calls out again, “Sofia! Where are you?” He runs through the house, opening doors, shouting.


He comes back and sees the mother fainted on the couch, and the father shaking.


Later, at the memorial service in the church, relatives wondered who that man was—the taxi driver.

Η εποχή μας δεν είναι τυχαία.

Our times are not random.


What is happening around us is not just a series of events, but signs of the times. The world is changing — not only externally, but mainly internally.


The so-called “New World Order” is advancing silently, not only to control man externally, but to influence his soul.


It is not imposed by force.
It enters through habit.
It is established through acceptance.


Man gradually gets used to:
not reacting,
not discerning,
not struggling.


And in this way, he loses the most precious gift given to him by God:


The freedom of his soul.


For true slavery is not of the body, but of the heart and the mind.


When a person stops praying,
when he stops repenting,
when he stops seeking the truth,


then he becomes easily guided.


But the Church has warned us.


The Holy Fathers spoke of times of spiritual confusion, when falsehood will be presented as truth and darkness as light.


That is why vigilance is needed.


Not fear — but faith.
Not panic — but repentance.
Not despair — but hope in Christ.


For no matter how much the world darkens,
the Light of Christ does not fade.


And the final victory does not belong to darkness.


Όσα συμβαίνουν γύρω μας δεν είναι απλές εξελίξεις, αλλά σημεία των καιρών. Ο κόσμος αλλάζει — όχι μόνο εξωτερικά, αλλά κυρίως εσωτερικά.


Η λεγόμενη «Νέα Τάξη Πραγμάτων» προχωρά σιωπηλά, όχι μόνο για να ελέγξει τον άνθρωπο εξωτερικά, αλλά για να επηρεάσει την ψυχή του.


Δεν επιβάλλεται με τη βία.
Εισχωρεί με την συνήθεια.
Καθιερώνεται με την αποδοχή.


Ο άνθρωπος συνηθίζει σιγά σιγά:
να μην αντιδρά,
να μην διακρίνει,
να μην αγωνίζεται.


Και έτσι χάνει το πιο πολύτιμο δώρο που του έδωσε ο Θεός:


Την ελευθερία της ψυχής του.


Διότι η αληθινή σκλαβιά δεν είναι του σώματος, αλλά της καρδιάς και του νου.


Όταν ο άνθρωπος πάψει να προσεύχεται,
όταν πάψει να μετανοεί,
όταν πάψει να ζητά την αλήθεια,


τότε γίνεται εύκολα καθοδηγούμενος.


Η Εκκλησία όμως μας έχει προειδοποιήσει.


Οι Άγιοι Πατέρες μίλησαν για καιρούς πνευματικής σύγχυσης, όπου το ψεύδος θα παρουσιάζεται ως αλήθεια και το σκοτάδι ως φως.


Γι’ αυτό χρειάζεται εγρήγορση.


Όχι φόβος — αλλά πίστη.
Όχι πανικός — αλλά μετάνοια.
Όχι απελπισία — αλλά ελπίδα στον Χριστό.


Διότι, όσο κι αν σκοτεινιάζει ο κόσμος,
το Φως του Χριστού δεν σβήνει.


Και η τελική νίκη δεν ανήκει στο σκοτάδι.


Ανήκει στην Αλήθεια.

Αυτό είναι από τα βασικά σημεία που τους ξεχωρίζουν θεολογικά από τον κύριο Χριστιανισμό.


 Πιστεύουν ότι ο Ιησούς είναι το πρώτο και ανώτερο δημιούργημα του Θεού (τον ταυτίζουν με τον αρχάγγελο Μιχαήλ πριν έρθει στη γη).Δεν αποδέχονται τη διδασκαλία της Αγίας Τριάδας όπως την κατανοούν οι Ορθόδοξοι, Καθολικοί και οι περισσότερες Προτεσταντικές Εκκλησίες.Για αυτούς, ο Θεός (Ιεχωβάς) είναι μόνο ένας, και ο Ιησούς είναι υποδεέστερος, όχι ίσος ή ομοούσιος.

Αυτό είναι από τα βασικά σημεία που τους ξεχωρίζουν θεολογικά από τον κύριο Χριστιανισμό.

God has a beautiful plan. All of God is beautiful.

A plan that will help and will save, with the religious and theological Orthodox meaning of the word “save,” will also save the well-intentioned Turks, just as it will save the well-intentioned Greeks. Not all of our own people are well-intentioned.

Just as He will save all the well-intentioned Germans, Americans, all races, the Chinese, and the Africans.

God now has a great plan, the development of which began in Syria, and He will carry out a tremendous operation upon humanity.

The operation is necessary. How can a person who is filled with tumors, has widespread cancer, and whose blood has been poisoned? First, he must be detoxified. Then he must also undergo surgery.

So, for the health of humanity to be restored, these bitter events must take place. From these bitter events, Christ will bring forth sweetness.

He will quickly enter eternal life. Saint Matrona of Russia used to say—I think she fell asleep in 1952—before the great Third World War, those who are very well-intentioned but somewhat weak in faith and in certain passions they have, God will take them before the war, some through accidents

and others through incurable illnesses. Do you hear? That is what we have now begun to live through with the coronavirus and other things, and the earthquakes that some say are coming and the sinkings and so on.

So all these things were to take some before the World War, whether through accidents or incurable diseases, and where will He take them? Into eternal life.

No, no, not into death. And others during the course of the war will depart. These, perhaps, will be the ill-intentioned.

The people who have no repentance, who did not receive Christ’s messages—Christ’s emails and Christ’s faxes that He keeps sending us continuously, telling us: wake up and repent.

And we remain longing for the corrupted everyday life that we had last year and the year before.

Running everywhere in haste so we can go on vacation.

The religious people even called vacations and trips pilgrimages.

We have not left a pilgrimage site that we did not visit. And I myself say these things. Yet in the end, may we not be worshippers

of the Holy Spirit who dwells in our hearts from the time of our chrismation. What a tragic thing that is—not to recognize the Holy Spirit

who is our housemate, dwelling with us. Therefore, since we do not recognize Him willingly, God will allow it to happen through certain chastisements, as Saint Isaac the Syrian calls them.

Strangely enough, the modern chastisement that is coming began from the homeland of Saint Isaac, from Syria.

Crete, Rhodes, Cyprus, Lesbos, and other islands will also be tested.

The great war will happen there at the Bosporus.

America too will go through great trials, to pay as well for the sins and crimes it committed against many, many peoples—the new Babylon described by Saint John the Theologian in Revelation.

America will become partial, Elder Saint Basil of Kavsokalyvia used to say. America will remain partial. What that means, I do not know.

I believe these things, my child, and because I believe them, I must as a bishop share my faith with people.

I do not wish to frighten or panic anyone, God forbid.

But if these things that are heard help even one person to be led to repentance, then my attempt has succeeded.

Let some Greek hierarchs write whatever they wish against prophetic speech. The Holy Spirit has not ceased breathing.

And one of the greatest gifts of the Holy Spirit is the prophetic gift. I do not have it. No. I am a student of prophecy, not a prophet.

But I do not hide from you; being the cunning Cypriot that I am, I want my profit in eternal life.

And what does my Gospel say? “He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward.”

It is toward that reward I look—that one of my fellow men will hear all this and repent. Now, whether he will be Greek or Turkish—perhaps it will be these Turks.

For I tell you, Saint Kosmas of Aetolia tells us—and Saint Kosmas was never wrong in any of his prophecies—“One third of the Turks will believe.”

Do you know how many one-third of today’s Turks are? It is 24 million.

That is two Greeces—no, three Greeces.

Saint Amphilochios of Patmos used to say that the root must be preserved. That is why the refugee movement of the Asia Minor Greeks, the Pontians, and the Constantinopolitans happened.

And this root remains afterward to make the grafting—that is, to make the inoculation into the one vine of Asia Minor, which is now called Turkey, but it remains Asia Minor.

So what can we say? Yes, God’s plan is great. It is not only for Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus.

Let us not be deceived only by the unredeemed homeland that we have.

And especially we Cypriots live this out. The metropolis of Morphou lives it above all.

But let us not be deceived only by our own sociopolitical problems. All humanity groans because of our sins.

because of abortions, blasphemies, sorceries,

the Satan worship that exists, the unnatural laws and the

unnatural practices done inside and outside marriage, very many, sadly, by people, and many other things.

Shameful things that cannot even be spoken. Therefore, as we read in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, especially the Old Testament, it emphasizes this:

Our actions, our sins, and our negative deeds affect our psychological and spiritual state.

Now it has accumulated, accumulated, accumulated—all this influence.

The influence of the sin I mentioned before, the sins I mentioned before, the energy, the darkness, and the satanic energy have gathered, and now every nation will pay—Turkey, us, all countries—every nation will pay the bill, my brother.

That is it. Now it is the season of nations that we have entered.

It seems that poor Turkey, America, and some European countries,

such as France, Italy, and England,

will pay greatly, and they will not pay for something that does not belong to them. Everyone has their own things.

And “to pay” is a harsh term, I know. But it is a term understandable in an age where everything is bought and sold.

The only thing that is neither bought nor sold but offered freely to whoever wants it is the Body and Blood of Christ. It is repentance.

It is the mysteries of Christ and of the Holy Spirit.

These are what we should seek, what we should desire. And God has something for all people. He has something for Cyprus, and he has something for our Greece as well

The falls in humanity


 1️⃣ The Fall of Adam and Eve

📖 (Genesis 3)

The first fall of humanity.
It was not merely “disobedience” to a rule. It was:

  • A rupture of trust toward God
  • The choice of autonomy instead of relationship
  • The desire to become “like gods” without God

Result:

  • Death (spiritual first, then physical)
  • Corruption
  • Alienation

This is the root of all other falls.

2️⃣ The Fall of Judas

📖 (Matthew 26–27)

Judas was not an “unbeliever.” He was a disciple. He witnessed miracles.
His fall did not happen in a single moment — it began with:

  • Love of money
  • A hidden distancing of the heart
  • Disappointment (perhaps because Christ did not become a political Messiah)

The tragedy:
He repented with remorse, but without hope.
Despair destroyed him.

3️⃣ The “Fall” of the Pope (Orthodox Theological Perspective)

The Orthodox Church does not speak of the “fall of a person,” but of ecclesiological deviation.

The Great Schism (1054) was not a single momentary event. It was a gradual separation over issues such as:

  • The Filioque
  • The primacy of papal authority
  • The understanding of Grace

From an Orthodox perspective, the “fall” here is institutional and doctrinal — not a personal condemnation.

4️⃣ Other Great Falls in Humanity

🔹 The Fall of the Angels

Lucifer (Satan) — a fall through pride.
The first existential rebellion: “I will not serve.”

🔹 The Fall of Babel

📖 (Genesis 11)
Humanity attempted to reach heaven without God.
Result: confusion and division.

🔹 The Moral Fall of Civilizations

Every empire that deified power instead of truth eventually collapsed.
History repeats itself.

✍️ COMMENT (English)

The Fall never begins publicly.
It begins internally.

From Adam to Judas, from empires to institutions, every collapse shares the same root:
pride and separation from Life.

Yet every fall carries within it an invitation to return.
The tragedy is not that humanity falls.
The tragedy is when it refuses to rise again.
