One night, Saint Nephon, after finishing his established night prayer, lay down to sleep on the stones, as always. It was midnight and he was still watching the moon and the stars in the sky.
Alone as he was, he pondered his sins and mourned, for he remembered the terrible hour of Judgment.
Suddenly he sees the firmament of the sky being shunned. And the Lord Jesus Christ is presented in great dimensions. It stood in the ether surrounded by all the heavenly armies; angels, archangels, terrible and exquisite battalions lined up with every contraction.
The Lord inquired of his battalion general, and he came brilliant, fearful, but also timid.
-Michael, Michael, lord of the covenant, with your battalion received the pyramid throne of my glory and went to the valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will install it as a first sign of my presence. Because the time is approaching when everyone will get their work done. Do it fast, the time has come. I will judge those who worshiped the idols and denied Me their creator. Those who loved the stones and woods I gave them for their needs. All of them will be crushed "as a pottery". As well as my enemies the heretics who dared to separate me from my Father. They dared to bring down the Forgiving Spirit into a building. Alas, what the hell awaits them!
Now I will appear also to the Jews who crucified me and did not believe in my deity. I was given every power, honor and power. I'm a franchisee. When I was standing on the Cross they said, "Wow! burn the god ... save him. " Now, "Your revenge, I will pay back". I will judge, control and severely punish the wicked and perverse gender because it did not repent. I gave them opportunities to repent, but they despised them. So I will now take revenge.
I will do the same to the Sodomites, who have defiled the earth and the air with their stench. I burned them then. Again, I will burn them again because they hated the pleasure of the Holy Spirit and loved the pleasure of the devil.
I will punish the adulterers, the arrogant and the slain, who look like female horses. They did not suffice in their legal marriage, but turned foolishly into immorality and Satan threw them into the abyss of fire. Did they not hear that "they are terribly put in the hand of God alive"? Aren't they afraid of "I lose my sex life"? I invited them to repent and yet they did not repent.
I will also condemn thieves who did a lot of evil, even murder! And all who committed a multitude of sins. I gave them opportunities to change but it didn't really matter. Where are their good works? I showed them the unholy as a type and signature - and many others - so that they would not be discouraged in their sins. But they ignored my orders and refused me. They turned away from Me and loved the meaninglessness. They tore Me down and enslaved me to sin. So let's move on to the flame that they themselves lit.
But even those who died miniscule, I will deliver them in terrible shudder. Because they didn't crave my peace, but their angry, bitter and instrumental lives came to life.
The pros, the scoundrels, and those who work in the philanthropy - which is the second idolatry - will annihilate and exterminate all my anger, because they rested their hope on gold and they ignored me as if I were not caring for them.
And those pseudo-Christians, who claimed that there was no resurrection of the dead or that there was a re-enactment, I would melt them in the genius like wax. Then they will be convinced of the resurrection of the dead.
The magicians, the poisons and those who deal with the oracles in general will be crushed.
Alas, and to those who are drunk, they feast on guitars and drums and sing, dance, chant and imagine cunning. I called them and they didn't listen to me, but they made fun of me. Now the worm will break their heart. I gave them mercy and repentance, but no one paid attention then.
I will sink into the darkness and those who despise the Holy Scriptures, which my Spirit has written through the saints.
I will even judge those who deal with prevention and superstitions and base their hopes on knives, axes, sickles, and the like. Then they will learn that they had to hope in God and not in his creation. They will be troubled and contradicted then, but they will no longer have any power, for "my revenge, I will repay."
I will also punish the kings and lords who have continually bitterly wronged me with their iniquities. They judged the people unfairly and proudly. And they were paid. But my power does not accept bribes. According to their injustice I will destroy them. Then they will realize that I am the terrible one who takes away the powers of the nobles. They will understand that I am more terrible than all the kings of the earth. Yeah to them! What the hell is waiting for them! Because they shaved their teeth and shed innocent blood, the blood of their children and their daughters.
But in what anger will I surrender to those who were not true shepherds? who razed my vineyard and scattered my sheep? who were gold and silver - not souls - and asked for the priesthood out of interest? How much will their punishment be? How much is the urine? I will pour out all their anger and anger on them and crush them. Sheep and oxen have fainted to gain it, but my rational sheep have not cared. I will punish their iniquities and whip their iniquities.
But also the priests who laugh or quarrel in my holy churches, what will I do to them? I'll keep them in the fire and in the tartar.
I came and I come. Whoever has the power let us face it. But yea, woe unto him that, being a sinner, shall fall into my hands! Because everyone will appear before me "naked and quadruped". Where will the daring of the ignorance of sinners be fanned then? How will they look at my face? Where will they put their shame? They will rush in front of my immense Powers.
But I will also criticize any monks who neglected their duties and betrayed the promises they made to God, angels, and men. Others promised and others did. From the height of the clouds I will plunge them into the abyss. They did not suffer their own loss, but they caused a terrible scandal to others. It was better for them not to renounce the world, rather than renounce it and live shy, mixed with apathy. "You revenge, I will pay back" to those who did not want to repent. I will judge them as a fair Judge! ..
These words which the Lord uttered to Commander Michael filled the myriad Powers of Angels.
He then ordered that the Seven Centuries of the constitution of the world be brought to him. Michael also carried out this commandment. So he went to the covenant house immediately and brought them. They were like big books and put them in front of the Judge. Then he stood idly by observing how the Lord is scrolling through the history of centuries.
He took that first Century, opened it and said:
Here he writes first and foremost: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, a God in three faces. From the Father was born the Son and creator of the ages. Because with the Word of the Father, the Son, the Ages became, the Intangible Forces were created, the heavens, the earth, the infernals, the sea, the rivers "and everything in them" were established.
Then after reading a little below, he said:
Here he says: The image of the invisible God is the first man, Adam, with his wife, Eve. Adam was commanded by the Almighty God and creator of all visible and invisible. It is a law that must be obeyed with all certainty and precision in order to remember its creator, and not forget that there is a God above him.
Again a little further:
-Failure, in which the image of God was made by fraud or rather by carelessness and negligence. Man fell and was driven out of paradise with God's righteous judgment and judgment. This vile offender cannot be in so many goods!
Read below:
- Cain threw himself at Abel and killed him at the devil's house. It must burn in the fire of hell, because it was incomprehensible. While Abel will live forever.
In the same way he has flipped through the six books of the Ages.
He finished seventh and read:
-The beginning of the seventh century means the end of centuries. Evil, wickedness, and blasphemy are beginning to generalize. The people of the Seventh Century are cunning, deceitful, liars, hypocritical, philanthropists, enslaved to sodomy sins.
He went a bit, read something and immediately turned his sad eyes high, resting one hand on his knee, with the other covering his face and eyes and staying pensive for a long time. He whispered briefly:
-That is, this Seventh Century has surpassed all previous ones in injustice and wickedness.
Read below:
-The Greeks and their idols were torn down with the wood, spear, and nails that entered my frigid House.
She paused for a few moments and leaned back into the book.
- Twelve lords of the Great King, white as the light, shook the sea, stabbed beasts, strangled the imaginary dragons, illuminated the blind, starved the hungry, and made the rich poor. They restored many dead souls to life. Their salary is great!
And after a while:
- I, the Beloved, chose martyrs for my sake. Their friendship reached to heaven and their love to my throne! Their craving for my heart and their worship makes me loud. My glory and my state are with them!
After turning a few leaves he sighed with a satisfied smile:
-The man who faithfully held the rudder of Eptalofi and became its king, was a slave to my love. He was worthy of the kingdom of heaven because he was zealous and imitator of his Lord.
Then he omitted much and exclaimed:
-A beautiful and precious Nymph! How many filthy people have contaminated you! But you did not betray Me Your Bride! ... Countless heresies threatened you, but the stone upon which you are founded was not carved, because "gates of hell overpower it".
Listed below are all the sins of people who found death to have not been washed away in repentance.
And they were so many, like the sand of the sea! ... The Lord was reading them unhappy and nodding his head, sighing.
The countless number of angels stood in reverence for fear of the righteous wrath of Judas.
When the Lord arrived in the middle of this Century, he observed:
This last one is full of the stench of sins, of human works, which are all false and filthy: Envy, murder, falsehood, hatred, grudge. That's enough! I'll stop it in the middle. Take away the sovereignty of sin!
And in saying these angry words, the Lord gave the commander Michael the motto for Judgment. He claims he with his battalion took the ultra-light and indescribable throne and left. The battalion was so numerous that the land could not accommodate it. As they were leaving they shouted:
-Saint, saint, saint, fearful and great, high, wonderful and glorified the Lord for centuries.
Then Gabriel left with his battalion chanting:
- "Holy, holy, holy Lord Shabbath, the earth is full of this glory"!
And from that terrible cry the heavens and the earth were shaken.
Following was Rafael's third major commander, with his battalion reloading the anthem:
"To the Lord Jesus Christ, glorify the Father of God. Amen".
Finally, the fourth line began. Her lord was white and shining like snow, sweet in appearance. As he was leaving, he began to chant:
- "God of the Lord God bowed down and planted the earth from sunrise to hell. Out of Zion the decency of this beauty. God is obviously there, God is ours and he is stumbling. The fire before him is preceded by a thunderstorm. "
And then the rest of the psalm. While his officials responded:
- "God forbid that the earth lamented that you would perish in every nation!"
The leader of this battalion was called Uriel.
Soon they were brought before the Lord his glorious Cross, which shone like a terrible lightning, and scattered undisturbed fragrance. He was accompanied with great honor by two battalions of Powers and Forces. The spectacle was shockingly grand. Numerous forces shouted panic attacks.
Others said with great awe:
- "Praise my God my King and bless your name for ever and ever."
Others said:
- "Exalt the Lord our God, and bow down to his feet, that thou art holy." Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
A divine order was then given to bring again the royal lord Michael to appear twice on the throne of the Lord. At that moment an angel was shown holding a thunderous trumpet. Judge took her in his arms, trumpeted him three times and said three reasons. After delivering it to Michael:
-Go to Golgotha where I stretched out my rubbery hands and there three times.
As soon as Michael left, the Lord called the Order of the Principles and said to his leader:
-I ask you to take your divine order and scatter around the world to carry the saints from the east and west, north and south. I will gather them all to welcome my presence as soon as the trumpet sounds.
After all, the righteous Judge took a look at the earth and saw… Fog and darkness, lamentation and woe and a great deal of Satan's terrible tyranny. The dragon was mad and fried. Destroy everything by crushing it like grass. Because he saw God's angels preparing the eternal fire for him.
As soon as the Lord saw all this, he called a fiery angel with a stern and dreadful face, without sadness - he was the leader of the angels who oversee the fire of hell - and said to him:
- Take with you my wand that crushes and crushes. Take countless angels from your battalion, the most terrible ones, who have been punished by the damned. You will go to the imaginary sea to find traces of the gloomy lord. Grab him with power and tenacity, and strike the alien with the rod until he has delivered the order of the evil spirits. And after tying them all together with the power of my rod, at my order, you will throw them into the most ruthless and ferocious hell!
And then, when everything was ready, there was a nod to the archangel holding the trumpet to sound the trumpet.
Immediately a dead silence spread, as if the universe had calmed down.
With the first trumpet all the bodies of the dead were assembled.
In the second, the Spirit of the Lord restored souls to the dead bodies.
Awe and horror conquered the universe.
The heavens and the earth trembled.
And then it echoed the third and most terrible trumpet, which shocked the whole world. The dead were resurrected by "blinking an eye" messages. Awesome sight! They exceeded in number the sand of the sea. At the same time as heavy rain they descended from the heavens to the throne of preparing angelic battalions:
- "Holy, holy, holy Lord Shabbath, the land of fear and terror is completely gone."
All the people and the innumerable constitution of angels stood waiting. They were trembling and horrified at the terrifying divine power coming down to earth. But while everyone was looking up, earthquakes, thunder and lightning suddenly began to occur in the valley of Dikki and in the ether, so that everyone was shattered. Then the firmament of heaven withdrew as a book, and the Holy Cross appeared to shine like the sun and scatter divine fences. He was held by angels in front of our Lord Jesus Christ and Judge of the Coming, who was coming.
In a short while there is a hymn, a song of praise: "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; God the Lord", judge, ruler, lord of peace.
As soon as this thorny doxology is over, the Judge appears on the clouds, seated on a fiery throne. With its many pure brilliance it burned heaven and earth.
Suddenly among the crowd of resurrected people some began to glow like the sun! They were immediately grabbed by the clouds in the air to meet their Lord. But most stayed down. No one took them to heaven!… They bitterly lamented that they were not claimed to be snatched from the clouds and that the sorrow and pain in their souls were a cure. They all kneeled in front of the Judge and rose again.
The terrifying Judge had now sat on the "throne of preparation" and all the forces of heaven were gathered around him in fear and terror. Those who had been grabbed by the clouds in response to him were placed to his right. The others marched to the left of Crete. Most of them were Jews, lords, priests, priests, kings and a large number of monks and lay people. They stood in disbelief, mourning for themselves and mourning their loss. Their faces were deplorable and deeply sighing.
Everybody had funeral mourning. And nowhere seemed any consolation.
But those standing to the right of Kritos were all feathers, bright as the sun, modest, glorious, white as the light, as if burned by a divine lightning. They looked - if not bold - to their Lord and God.
Parethys dropped his gaze on the one hand and the terrible Judge on the other. On the right he looked pleased and smiled. But when he turned left, he got upset, got very angry and immediately turned his face away.
Then in a loud and formal voice he says to His "right".
- "Neither my father's blessed, you have inherited the prepared high kingdom from the passing of the world. I got hungry, and for a while, I ate, drank, and sexed with a stranger, and talked to me, naked, and embraced me, sickened, and met with me in prison, and come unto me. "
They were taken aback and asked:
- "Lord, when did we give you hungry and nourished you, thirsty and nourished you? when did we not give you a stranger and an advocate, the naked and the surrounded? when did you not give the patient in jail and come to you? '
- "Amen I say hymn, as long as ye did these things of mine brethren, ye did them."
He then turns to the "eunuchs" and says vigorously:
- "The fire-makers of the eternal fire of the devil and his angels have walked through me. I got hungry, and I didn't eat for a while, I was drunk and didn't eat with a stranger and you talked to me, naked, and you were with me, sick and in prison, and you never met me. "
- "Sir," they asked him in amazement, "when did you give me a patient in jail and my deceased?"
"Amen I say hmm," the Lord replied, "as long as you did not do these things to the least, you did not do to me." Get out of my sight, cursed earth! In the tartar! To the roar of the teeth! There the mourning is over and the endless mourning.
As soon as the Judge made this decision, a huge flaming river was flowing eastward, rushing westward. It was wide like a big sea. The sinners on the left watched him tremble and began to tremble in despair. But the impudent Judge has ordered that everyone - justly and unjustly - cross the flaming river to taste the fire.
The "on the right" began, which all passed by and came out glowing like pure gold. Their works did not burn, but proved to be brighter and clearer with the test. That is why they filled the embrace.
Then came the "eunuchs" to go through the fire to test their works. But because they were sinners, the flame started burning and kept them in the middle of the river. And their works were burned as haystack, and their bodies remained burning for years and endless centuries with the devil and the demons. No one managed to get out of that burning river! All of them were captured by the fire because they were worthy of condemnation and punishment.
After the sinners were delivered to hell, the terrifying Judge rose from his throne and set out for the divine palace with all his saints. He was surrounded, always with great fear and trembling, all heavenly powers screaming:
- "Take away our gates our gates, and enter eternal gates, and enter into the King of glory," the Lord and God of the gods, together with all his saints, who will enjoy eternal inheritance.
Another battalion responded and said:
- "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord" with those who claimed his grace to be called sons of God, "God the Lord" with the sons of the New Zion, "and manifested themselves."
And the archangels, which were preceded by the Lord, glorified him, chanting a heavenly member:
- "We do not rejoice in the Lord, but in our God the Savior. We catch this person in confession and in psalms they mutter. "
While another battalion disagreed melodically:
- "That God the Great the Lord and the King of the earth have passed over the earth. That in his hand the ends of the earth and the heights of the mountains are coming in! '
These and many other harmonious members were sung by the holy angels in order to please those who listened indescribably.
So the saints entered with the Lord Jesus Christ into the heavenly chamber of the heavenly palace with hearts that were shining with joy. And immediately the gates of the bridegroom were closed.
Then the heavenly King called the top angels. Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and the lords of the battalions first appeared.
The twelve luminaries of the world followed, the apostles. The Lord gave them the glory of glittering and twelve fireproof thrones to sit close to their teacher Christ with magnificent values. Their faces radiated an indescribable eternal light, and their garments were shiny and transparent like amber. Even the angels' lords admired them. Finally he gave them twelve magnificent crystal wreaths decorated with gemstones that glittered as they held glorious angels over their heads.
Then the 70 apostles were brought before the Lord. They received similar honors and glory, only that the 12 wreaths were more wonderful.
And now it's the turn of the witnesses. They took the place and glory of the great angelic army, which was torn down from heaven with Lucifer. That is, they became the martyred angels and lords of the heavenly battalions. Immediately a crowd of wreaths were brought to them and placed on their sanctified heads. As the sun shines, so do they. Thus the sacred witnesses of the gods were blessed and blessed.
Then came the divine dance of the hierarchs, priests, deacons and other clergy. They too were crowned with eternal and amaranth wreaths, depending on their zeal, patience and pastoral activity. Wreath of wreath was different in glory as star by star. Thus many priests and deacons were more glorious and glorious than many priests.
They were even given by a temple to offer the sacrificial sacrifice and sacrifice, pleasing to God.
Then came the sacred dance of the monks. Their appearance was enriched by a secret fragrance, and as the sun scattered divine fibrils. The Lord decorated them with six wings and made them with the power of the Holy Spirit like the horrible Cherubim and Seraphim. Then they started shouting:
- "Holy, holy, holy Lord Shabbath, the earth of his glory is completely gone." Their glory was great, unimaginable, and their wreath varied and glowing. Depending on their struggles and sweat they also enjoyed the prices.
The dance of the prophets followed. The King bestowed upon them the chant of the chants, the psalm of David, the drums and dances, the brilliant light of intense light, the unabashed jubilation, and the doxology of the Holy Spirit.
They were then asked by the Divine Nymph to chant something. And they sang such a melodic hymn, that they all shed their joy.
After receiving these gifts, the saints from the immortal hands of the Savior were still waiting for them, "a bud's eye saw, and a bud's heard, and on the heart a man's heart went up."
Then came all the dance of the people, saved in the world: Poor and lords, kings and privates, slaves and free. They all stood before the Lord, and he separated from them the alms and the pure, and gave them the envy of Eden's paradise, palaces of heaven and luminaries, luxurious wreaths, sanctification and rejoicing, thrones and scepter and angels to serve them.
Then came those who became "poor in spirit" for Christ's love. Now they have risen too. They were given a glorious wreath by the Lord's hand and inherited the kingdom of heaven.
Then the "mourners" of their sins received the great consolation of the Holy Trinity.
Then the "lowly" and the acacia, who inherited the heavenly earth, where the Spirit of God distills sweetness and fragrance. And they experienced an inexpressible thrill and delight, seeing that they were blessed with earth. Their wreaths were fused with roses.
The "hungry and thirsty for justice" followed. They were given the salary of justice, to fill them. And their good intentions were delighted to see King Christ exalted and exalted by the holy angels.
Then "the pursuers of justice." They were given divine doctrine and a wonderful animal.
They even stood up for their sake and an unseen throne to sit in the kingdom of heaven. Their wreaths were of sulfur and intangible gold that shone so brightly that the glory of the angels danced to their glory.
Then came the dance of the "dreamed" for Christ, the great God and savior of our souls.
They were raised to gold thrones and enjoyed the praise of God.
After them came a multitude of idolaters, who did not know the law of Christ, but by nature obeyed their conscience. Many were shining like the sun by their purity and purity. And the Lord gave them paradise and wreaths woven with wheels and lilies. But because they lacked the holy baptism, they were blind. They did not see the glory of God at all. Because holy baptism is light and eye of the soul. That is why anyone who does not get it, despite the infinitely good work, inherits paradise comfort and tastes something of its fragrance and sweetness, but sees nothing.
Next to them the righteous Nephi sees a saintly group of saints who were the children of Christians. They all seemed to be about thirty years old. The Nymph looked at them with a sly look and said:
-The baptism of your baptism is unbearable, but works nowhere! So what can I do for you?
Then they responded with courage:
- Sir, you deprived us of your earthly goods, at least not deprived of our heavenly goods.
The Bridegroom smiled and gave them heavenly goods. They also received the wreaths of chastity, acacia and all their immaculate armies admired.
It was a miracle to hear the holy angels singing sweet songs as they watched the battles of all the saints.
After all, he sees the Nephon coming before the Bridegroom a divine Bride. Around her she dispelled heavenly scents and divine scents. On her gorgeous head she wore an incomparable royal crown that radiated. The angels gazed at her in amazement and the saints dazzled. The grace of the Holy Spirit held that celestial diadem on the immaculate top.
Entering the divine nymph, she was followed by an innumerable number of virgins who glorified and glorified the majesties of God.
When the Nymph arrived, the great queen worshiped three times with all the virgin virgins. Then the "handsome caller" saw her and was pleased. He bowed his head and honored her as his ruthless Mother. She approached him with great reverence and grace and embraced his immortal and still eyes, as well as his visceral hands.
After the divine kiss, the Lord bestowed on the virgin glittering dresses and navy wreaths. And then all the mental powers came singing, blessing and glorifying her.
Then the Bridegroom got up from his throne and having his Mother on his right and on his left the greatest and most admired Prophet and forerunner, he got out of the bridegroom and went to the divine chamber, where the goods are " they listened to the heart and went up to the heart of man, "prepared for those who loved God. All the saints followed. As soon as they saw the goods, they were overwhelmed by endless jubilation and began to circulate, cheering in the twisting chamber.
But the slave of the God of the Swords was not able to describe them to me. Although I pressed him many times, he didn't tell me the slightest.
- I couldn't, my child, say sighing, visualizing with my tongue or liking anything on the ground there. It was beyond all thought and imagination, beyond all seeing and not seeing.
When, therefore, the Lord had distributed to his saints all the unspoken and inaudible goods, he commanded the Cherubim to circle the eternal chamber, as the wall of a city circled. He then commanded the Seraphim to circle the Cherubim, the Thrones the Seraphim, the Lordships the Thrones, the Principles the Sovereigns, the Powers the Authorities, and finally the Powers of the Heavens. As the wall circles a city so the battalions circled one another.
To the right of the chamber of centuries stood Michael with all his majesty with his battalion. Left Gabriel with his own. Uriel settled in the west and Raphael settled in the east.
All this was done with the precept of the Lord Jesus Christ, the great God and Savior of all the saints. These four lines were very large. And together with the battalions of ungodly forces they shook the chamber of God with great splendor.
When all this had been accomplished, then this human Jesus also submitted to "the subconscious of all these things" and gave him all the authority and sovereignty and state he had received from Him. While He entered the divine and inaccessible ward heir of the Father, the King and the High Priest together with all the saints' companions.
At the end of all the mysteries that the Saint Nephon saw, he saw the most terrifying revelation: the Father of the only begotten Son, the Generator, the light inaccessible and incomprehensible, suddenly rose above the endless chamber, shining above it; immense powers, above all their circles and lines. It illuminated the purest chamber as the sun illuminates the world. This is how the Father of Affection shone. And as the sponge sips and holds the wine, so the saints were flooded with the unmistakable deity of the Father and reigned with him incessantly for centuries.
From then on, there was no night or day for them. There was only God and Father, Son and Spirit, light and enlightenment, animals and the moon, delight and pleasure.
Then there was a deep silence. The eyes of the law were given clear and unmistakable light to see: In the first chamber that circled the chamber, chant was transmitted as a continuous and endless legacy. His pleasure was unparalleled and overwhelming. Immediately the divine and terrible order began an inexpressible doctrine. The saints' hearts were shining with joy and delight.
From the first battalion the magnificent praise hymn was transmitted to the second battalion of the Seraphim. Then he too began to sing an elaborate and unpretentious hymn. Like glorious honey, his doctrine sounded in the ears of the saints, and they were endlessly enriched with all their senses: Their eyes saw the inaccessible light. Their smell smelled of the fragrance of divinity. Their ears heard the divine hymn of the immaculate forces. Their mouths tasted the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ new in the kingdom of heaven. Their hands were grasping the everlasting goods and their feet were dancing in the chamber. So, with all their senses, they were enjoying the unending joy.
Soon that divine hymn was transmitted from the second order to the third and from the third to the fourth, as the latter causing the sweetest member of honey to stir and delight in the hearts of the saints. And it was great that there was not a hymn singing constantly from the battalions, but there was an indescribable variety and originality to the ode to their praise.
When the Seven Circles of Battalions completed their pure doctrine, then the Archangels' battalions began the tragic hymn: Michael sang and Gabriel disagreed. Again Raphael sang and completed Uriel. You could hear some strange harmonies. The four fiery columns, the archangels, stood out and their hymn was fiery and thunderous.
Motivated by that infinite fondness, then, the saints all began to chant the greatness of God through the heavenly chamber.
In this way the anthem resonated, anthem out and about, anthem and everywhere. Fun songs, which burned hearts with longing for eternal centuries.
When the threefold Nephon had seen all this and was in great ecstasy and theory, he heard the voice of God say to him:
- Nephi, Nephi, nice was your prophetic sight. But all that you saw and heard wrote in every detail, because they will. I have shown them to you because you are a faithful friend, my dear child and heir to my kingdom. So be sure now that I have claimed you to be a witness of the horrible mysteries of my great charity to all those who humbly worship my kingdom and authority. Because I am pleased to "oversee the law and the sound and the trembling of my speeches".
Having said this, the Lord rescued him from the terrible and wonderful sight that had absorbed him for two weeks.
When he came to himself, he was terrified and mourned and mourned. His tears ran down the river and he said:
- Woe to me, the helpless one! What awaits my miserable soul! My dear Helen! In what situation will I, the sinner, find myself there? What will I apologize to the Judge? What reason will I give for my sins? Ah, the poor and miserable! ... I don't even have tears to cry. But I also have no regrets. Mercy at all! Prayer nothing! Love zero! Acacia and meekness stand far from me! Alas! What can I do for the poor and the polluted? Where can I grab my soul? I licked my robe, baptized it, plunged my soul into the mud. In my mind I spoiled him, my life was weighed down "in drunkenness and drunkenness." Ah! the sinner I don't know what to do! My eyes see the bad. My face is disgusted. My ears are melting into demonic songs. My smell demands fragrances. My mouth needs to be eaten. Woe to the suffering! My hands are full of sin. My body craves to mumble immorality and chases soft beds and goodies ...
Oh, the illegal and the dark and the dirty! I don't know where to go. Who will get me out of that bitter fire? Who will save me from the dark beyond the horrible tartar? Who will release me from the toothache? Alas, alas for the sachamer, the illegitimate! Better if I hadn't been born! ... Oh, what a hell I'm going to get black! What a price, what a wreath, how much joy, how much pride I will lose because I was enslaved to sin! Suffering soul! So where's your dedication? Woe to you, sad and sad! Where will your position be on that day? Did you do any good that pleases God? You will enter the furnace. But how will the owl and the poodle cope? Oh, filthy soul, who always craved to be rolled into the rubble, who was constantly serving the stomach!
Lawless and corrupt, what a shame you will taste in Jesus' eyes! With what eyes would His sweet face gaze? Tell me, tell me! You have seen those wonderful spectacles that the Lord will ever perform. So, soul, do you have works worthy of that glory? How do you get in there, once you've done the divine baptism? Woe to you then, my infected soul! Are you left to inherit the eternal fire, and where will sin and its father be then saved?
But my Lord, Lord,
Save me from the fire,
From the roar of the teeth,
From Tartarus ...
With these words the blessed prayer was controlling itself. On the following days, you would see him walking down the steps with bitter sighs, lamentations, and tears. He counted on the wonderful things he saw, and did what he could to conquer them. Often — when he thought deeper and clearer about his vision — he was out of himself. He was burning with the presence of the Holy Spirit and exclaimed:
-Oh what joy, what glory, what splendor awaits the saints in heaven! How afraid I am of them!
He sighed deeply and added:
- Lord, help and save my dying soul.
(Saint Nephon the Bishop of Constantine
From the book "A BASIC BISHOP". Version of the Holy Monastery of Paraklitos - Oropos)
