ON THE THIRD HEAVEN IS GOD WITH THE ORTHODOX.

Ο Χριστός είναι η Κεφαλή της Μίας, Αγίας, Καθολικής και Αποστολικής Εκκλησίας, της Ορθόδοξης. Μόνο στην Ορθοδοξία υπάρχει η πλήρης Αλήθεια και τα αληθινά Μυστήρια. Γι’ αυτό και μόνο εδώ υπάρχει το πλήρωμα της σωτηρίας και της θέωσης. Ο Απόστολος Παύλος μαρτυρεί ότι είδε τον «Τρίτον Ουρανόν» και τον Παράδεισο της θείας δόξης (Β΄ Κορ. 12,2–4). Οι Άγιοι Πατέρες διδάσκουν ότι ο Τρίτος Ουρανός είναι η κατάσταση της Θεώσεως: η τέλεια ένωση με τον Χριστό. Εκεί είναι ο Χριστός με τους Ορθοδόξους Αγίους Του. Εκεί είναι όσοι έγιναν θεούμενα μέλη της Μίας Εκκλησίας Του. Υπάρχουν πολλές «μονές» και πνευματικές καταστάσεις (Ιω. 14,2). Όμως το ύψιστο επίπεδο της Βασιλείας —ο Τρίτος Ουρανός— ανήκει στους Ορθοδόξους, διότι μόνο αυτοί ζουν την εμπειρία του Ακτίστου Φωτός. Και το Άγιο Φως στα Ιεροσόλυμα μαρτυρεί αυτό το θαύμα: μόνον Ορθόδοξος Πατριάρχης το λαμβάνει από τον Πανάγιο Τάφο του Χριστού. Ο Θεός δείχνει πού βρίσκεται η Αλήθεια. Οι μη Ορθόδοξοι κρίνονται κατά την οικονομία του Θεού· όμως δεν έχουν την πλήρη κοινωνία με τον Χριστό. Δεν μετέχουν στο πλήρωμα της θείας δόξης. Στον Τρίτον Ουρανόν είναι ο Χριστός μόνο με τους Ορθόδοξους Αγίους. Αυτή είναι η πίστη της Εκκλησίας. Αυτή είναι η Παράδοση των Πατέρων. Αυτή είναι η μαρτυρία των θαυμάτων. Η σωτηρία δεν είναι θεωρίες ή ανθρωποκεντρικές “θρησκείες”. Η σωτηρία είναι ένωση με τον Χριστό, τον Μόνον Αληθινόν Θεό, μέσα στην Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία Του. «Εκτός Εκκλησίας, σωτηρία ουκ έστιν.» — Άγιος Κυπριανός Καρχηδόνος ⸻ 🇬🇧 ENGLISH TEXT Christ is the Head of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church — the Orthodox Church. Only Orthodoxy has the fullness of Truth and the true Mysteries. Therefore, only here is the fullness of salvation and deification found. St. Paul speaks about being taken up into the “Third Heaven” (2 Cor. 12:2–4). The Holy Fathers teach that the Third Heaven is the state of Theosis, the perfect union with Christ. There, Christ dwells with His Orthodox Saints. Those who have become deified members of His One Church. There are many mansions and spiritual states (John 14:2). But the highest level of the Kingdom — the Third Heaven — belongs to the Orthodox, who experience the Uncreated Light. The Holy Fire of Jerusalem confirms this Truth: only an Orthodox Patriarch receives it at the Holy Sepulcher. God Himself reveals where the Truth is. Non-Orthodox are judged according to God’s mercy; yet they do not possess the full communion with Christ, nor the fullness of divine glory. In the Third Heaven, Christ is with His Orthodox Saints alone. This is the faith of the Church. This is the Tradition of the Fathers. This is the seal of the miracles. Salvation is not human theories or man-made religions. Salvation is union with Christ, the Only True God, within His Orthodox Church. “Outside the Church there is no salvation.” — St. Cyprian of Carthage

Saint Porphyrios

В какой-то момент, совершенно неожиданно, святой Порфирий сказал следующее, что произвело на нас большое впечатление. А потом вы услышите по телевизору. Они украли карту Герасима. Они пошли в банк и сняли все его деньги. Через некоторое время они скажут это снова. Они взяли карту такого-то и украли все его деньги. И это будет повторяться снова и снова. Но все, что они будут говорить, будет ложью. Затем они скажут вам, что для предотвращения кражи вашей карты вы должны поместить на ней свой личный номер и свои данные. То есть запечатать ее, и никто больше не сможет ее у вас украсть. Это решит проблему. Таковы их планы. Мы на некоторое время потеряли дар речи. Никто не говорил. Я думал о том, что сказал старейшина. Какие невероятные вещи он нам сейчас рассказывает. Остальные думали о том же, потому что в 1982 году казалось невероятным, что у всех нас будет карта со всеми нашими данными. Личность, репутация, банковская книжка и т. д. Я молюсь, чтобы Бог просветил нас и дал нам силу не получать эту карту. Аминь.

Ακούστε το έχει ενδιαφέρον -Listen, it's interesting.

I did well for God. Yes, but I heard what happened. So I went with two other friends and they went to take communion. And when I got close, the elder said he forbade me to take communion. I told the elder, I am Orthodox because I am, you are black, he said. You have not yet cleansed yourself to go and be baptized and then take communion. This surprises me. Where did he discern that there was such a crowd? That this elder discerned that I was not capable of taking communion, and I discussed it with him, and he told me that the papists do not come back with money only with baptism because they do not have sacraments. So I searched, he said anxiously, I went to many parishes here in the archdiocese and in other metropolises, and no priest would take the responsibility to baptize me. He said I want to be baptized to become an Orthodox canon. The elder told me I'm not normal with the use of the word. Well, I tell him, let's see what we'll do. So, at that moment, a monk, a friend of mine, comes to mind. I call him. I tell him, "Grandpa, I say, do you know someone, I say, who can baptize a young lad and then marry him off to perform the sacrament of marriage Orthodoxly?" Because he only wanted to do it the Orthodox way for himself. He thought, he says to me, "I know someone." He suggested someone who is a priest here in Athens and secretly baptized the lad. The wedding took place, and the children and their children were baptized too, sorry. Orthodox now. A whole festival was held. There is a sequel to the thing. The man purified himself in old age. So at some point, he went to a monastery to worship, and they started a conversation there with the old abbot about the events, and he told him, an enlightened old man, You will go to the Vardousia Mountains. Listen, look, you say, you will not go to fight. He tells him, We are not, he says, how many of us are colleagues? He says, I see you, a priest. Pay attention to his development. I see you, he says, a priest, and I see you gathering a lot of people, and you are not a priest, only these things, he says, that you have lived enough to say, where did he know? The abbot had not told him anything about the young man coming to Athens, who was a minister every Sunday in the church and on holidays; he came with his family several times. At some point, he was a bishop, I will not say the church, a holy bishop here, who is a fighter, a bishop, a hard worker, and He was left at the end of his life to take the antideros, and he says, Come, my father, he calls him. He is surprised; he thought someone was behind him. Come, he says, you will quickly become a priest. Second sentence. I asked him how it is possible, I said it will happen. He said he was cleansed by baptism. He is clean now. He has no sins. He has no priesthood attachments. Two people, unknown to him, told him twice. It was the first time he had seen them that he would become a priest. I am now waiting to see if he will be confirmed about it. However, his whole life is moving towards that. It is prayer. He is with the psalter in his hands, with the gospel, with the hymns of our church. Let's see. God will show. Why did I tell you this? So that you can see that we, as Orthodox, have no connection with the papists. So in Kolymbari in 2016, the Patriarch may have done this tumbling, the somersault, let me put it this way so you understand, and bowed there to the Pope, he says, recognizing the papists this religious community as a religious community. How is the church there, he did a somersault, that is, he nullified the symbol of the Patriarch's faith, he recognized with the historical one, he says, which historical one is being played, he mocks God, he mocks God, you can mock me 1 million times, you don't mock God, the patriarch was recognized, he says, with the historical meaning of the word church, the and other confessions and the Protestants too, to bring unity, that is, to bring the pan-religious. The patriarch had told me personally, and he cannot deny me in 1996-97 when I was at the traffic light. He tells me theological dialogues as Demetriados boasts now because he says that with the dialogues, we will find the issues. What did the patriarch himself tell me, theological dialogues lead nowhere, he says. Because the professors say they have obstacles and they don't see it, he says they see the tree and not the forest. And the forest is unity. That's why he says we will follow a different tactic. What is the tactic they will follow? The tactic they will follow will be to become, so to speak, a family, and within the same family, within this family, to solve our problems and reach the common cup. But they have reached the common cup. The Pope and Athenagoras made the union Masonic. Both Masons were initiated by the lodges. And the Pope said in the infamous. Now he says what we both did and united our churches, that's what the Pope told him. Now let's see how we will convey it, and the people will accept it. A former friend of mine also told him on TV on Ert, because he can't stand as a friend, professor, what he said not to step on it, he says like at the The Ferrara summit, where the people reacted and didn't pass a historic agreement that had been made in Ferrara. What are you saying, you idiot, to put it that way? What are you talking about, you idiot? He was talking about the historic agreement of the Sferara union on ERT, that is, he took out the Saint of the Saints when he didn't sign Saint Mark the Nobleman, who didn't, and others who didn't. Saint Mark didn't sign, I think, but he took out two others as useless because he says the people didn't accept it. Now, he says we have to tell the people to accept the unity, so God won't allow these things, and the patriarch will face very hard events. He hadn't received the messages before, and he continues this fiddle as if he has a hard heart like Pharaoh. Now God will take him because God will clean his field based on the hundredth psalm. He won't let him. He will change things, and he won't change them so that the other archbishop can come and become patriarch, the archbishop, the hope-killer. I wanted to say the hope-bearer in America. No. He won't do it for that. He will do it so that someone better will come. They will have problems at the traffic light. Turkey will also have problems. Why will you tell me? Because the Pope also went to the presidential palace and saw Erdogan. You saw where the Pope goes, disaster follows, and he even laid a wreath on who, the slaughterer of Christians, Kemal. He also reached this point. Well, you understand that we will have many events. You see that the war in Ukraine is not being resolved. Ozelski is trying to transfer the events elsewhere. He is hitting Kazakhstan, in the jury, it has already started, he has gone crazy. He is creating a front all over the world. Those who are not with him are his enemies. He is hitting ships from here and there. And that is why you should know that we will have quick events in Turkey as well. I believe that Erdogan is counting days now, not months, days. Let me be proven wrong. I wish I could be proven wrong because with Erdogan, Greece has no enemies. But NATO cannot proceed to a war with Russia without completely securing Turkey. And right now, Erdogan is stepping with one foot in Russia and the other in America or NATO. Take it that way. I want the game to be clear. That is why we will have events in both Turkey and with the Patriarch. Don't forget what Elder Galaktia used to say. Elder Galaktia used to tell us in 2021 that we should fall on our knees like Pappoulis and pray for the Patriarch, she says. Because she saw him being massacred at the traffic light by the gray lykes. I hope it doesn't happen. The question said to pray that God would prevent it. But with what is happening, it is as if this is what he is seeking. And when they asked why this was done, the poor thing couldn't speak. But we understand. Why was it done? Because with martyrdom, like Chrysostom of Smyrna, many sins and rights are erased. And the Patriarch says, because an elder told me, he has canonized many saints, these saints intercede for the salvation of his soul. Saint James, Tzalikis of all. Some say that Saint James said that. Bartholomew should become Patriarch. He says that Bartholomew should become patriarch and put the monks there, and confirms it. And Christ took Judas, I will say. But Judas became a traitor. Christ, how did Saint James see Bartholomew, but Bartholomew has also betrayed Orthodoxy.

“It’s worth listening to.”

Итак, в этот страшный час, с приближением субботы, Святой Дух приходит и претворяет хлеб в тело Христово, а жидкость – в кровь Христову. Введение наших грехов и вечную жизнь. То есть, чтобы заслужить нас без вины. Это означает введение грехов. Чтобы иметь жизнь небесного богослужения. То есть, каждый человек, который умирает, и мы идем и плачем там, где его пантеон. Если он человек, к которому Бог проявляет милость за его благость, за его прощение, за его милостыню и за любое другое добро, которое он сделал, он идет на небесное богослужение. Нищий сказал: «Я снова говорил тебе это». Бедная женщина собиралась забрать своего ребенка. Ее десятилетний ребенок из школы. Его звали Андреас. Андреас было его настоящее имя. Он подождал, и ребенок увидел свою мать, которая была на противоположном тротуаре, и подпрыгнул. Из-за ребенка едет машина. Ребенка бросают на нее. Он упал ей в туфли. Десятилетний мальчик погиб. Так или иначе, он пришёл ко мне и сказал: «С таким зятем это знак Лемена. Он говорит мне: „Будь осторожен, расскажи мне“», – и многим, кто посылал меня к тебе. Если ты не наполнишь мою душу тем, что собираешься мне сказать, я пойду и покончу с собой. Представьте, что чувствовал в тот момент бедный неофит. Он плакал, он говорил мне, он говорил мне, он говорил мне. Я, который внутри себя говорил: „Христе мой, просвети меня“. Мне нужно сказать только одно слово. Да наполнится душа этой радостной матери. Ну, как ты вскричал в тот миг, так что же моя речь? Это был портрет мышц матери. Моника купалась. Моя мать тоже потеряла сына. Я говорю, что ты потерял Андреаса. 10. Она потеряла его 24-го. И ты сказал это в известной истории, которую знаешь. Но Латис упал в объятия Христа, и теперь яблоня выросла, чтобы освятить её сына, умершего неисповеданным. Да простит его Христос мало-помалу и вознесёт к свету, и пусть он насладится небесным богослужением вместе с моим отцом, который был там до моего святого Николая. Тогда наша Стелла, мой зять Андреас, тоже уснула. Многие в моей семье. Все сейчас на небесном богослужении. Она встала; я только сказала ей это. Она подошла и преклонила колени перед портретом моей матери. Он поклонился ей и сказал женщине Божьей: «Бабушка Яблонька, пожалуйста, скажи Христу, чтобы он послал моего Андрея сказать мне слово, и пусть мой Андрей будет там, где твой Пётр». Она зовёт свою дочь Марию, которая сидит снаружи, ей пятнадцать лет. Мария, иди сюда; давай найдём то, что мы искали. Ты понимаешь, мы нашли Мессию. Я не Мессия. Своими разговорами она оскорбила Христа. Так что ничего мне не говори. Я не могу тебе сказать. Я говорю, ты рассказал ей про дёсны. Ты сделал это с яблоней. Единственное, о чём я прошу, – это чтобы было сделано то, о чём ты просила. Пусть Эндрю покажет тебе, где он. Моя дочь приезжает через четыре месяца. И что она мне говорит? Я видела Эндрю, её мёртвого десятилетнего ребёнка. «Я видела его, – говорит она, – но не могла разглядеть его лица». Они направили свет на птицу, и я не могла разглядеть её лица. Остальная часть меня говорит ему: «Я видела», и он говорит Андреасу: «Спускайся, Андреас, что ты там делаешь?» – он всё повторяет ему. Когда я прихожу, он говорит ей: «Как хорошо там подняться». «Мне хорошо. Что ты делаешь весь день, мама, и сегодня, и вечером?» – говорит он ей каждый день, при любом освещении. Знаешь, он говорит ей, что великий грядёт. И Христос сказал ей: Великий грядёт и будет трудиться. Ты – те, кто делает Моё дело. Мы вокруг Него, и через нас Его свет, и согласно сердцу, которое у нас было на земле, и твоими молитвами мы получаем свет и учимся, мама, по книгам, которые у меня были в школе. Ты так много читала, что мы узнали, говорит мама. Если я спущусь, он говорит моему малышу: «Покажи мне твоё лицо». Но одно, и это мешает свету Христа, чтобы ты мог видеть своё лицо, моё лицо, и слышать своими нечистыми глазами, мама, очисти свои глаза, и ты увидишь в следующий раз, и моё лицо будет слышно отсюда. Ты понимаешь, что происходит, потому что мы говорим, что Иисус воскрес из гроба и даровал нам вечную жизнь и великую милость. Так и вы все, Святой Дух претворяет хлеб и вино в тело и кровь Христа. Потому что у нас есть скамьи, как я сказал в Калогорици, с табуретками, а не скамьями. У франков есть скамьи, чтобы наблюдать за таинствами. Ты слышишь о нём скидку, и мы никогда не говорим, что отцы – это те, кто наблюдает, а не те, кто участвует. У нас есть скамьи со времен херувима, а после того хорошо имеющим ноги находиться на скамье стоя.

Why Orthodoxy Is the One True Faith (Orthodox Christian Perspective)

 

Orthodox Christianity teaches that it is the true faith because it has preserved the original and unchanged teachings of Christ and the Apostles for over two thousand years. Unlike other Christian traditions, Orthodoxy did not add or remove doctrines, but kept the same apostolic faith, worship, and spiritual life from the early Church.

1. Unbroken Apostolic Continuity
   The Orthodox Church believes it has maintained an unbroken line of teachings, sacraments, and bishops going back directly to the Apostles.
2. Pure and Undistorted Doctrine
   Orthodoxy never accepted later innovations such as the Filioque, papal supremacy, or other teachings added in the West. It maintains the same theology defined by the first seven Ecumenical Councils.
3. The Original Christian Worship
   The Divine Liturgy of the Orthodox Church is the same ancient worship of the early Christians, full of Scripture, reverence, and deep spiritual meaning.
4. The Experience of the Saints
   The Orthodox Church produces saints who perform miracles, see divine light, and experience God directly. This living holiness is seen as proof that the Holy Spirit remains in the Church.
5. Unity of Faith and Spiritual Life
   Orthodoxy preserves not only the original doctrine, but also the original spiritual path: repentance, humility, asceticism, noetic prayer, and the healing of the soul.
6. The One Church of the Creeds
   When we confess in the Creed, “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church,” Orthodoxy understands this not symbolically but literally — that it is the same Church founded by Christ Himself.

Saint Porfyrios

Αξίζει τον κόπο να το ακούσεις ξανά

The Xathogenos blond nation. Yes, of course. And we believe him. He means the syllabic leaves, the Russians, and others. He means me. I am not Xathogenos. The capture of Constantinople. Here I misspelled the liberation of Constantinople, as the lady said before, and this will happen. And Saint Paisios repeated it many times. This is a prophecy both his and his. Saint of Limassol. The flash of Orthodoxy. The flash of Orthodoxy is a topic that in our time has divided those who deal with the prophetic word into two camps. Some well-intentioned, some ill-intentioned. And the capture of Orthodoxy will happen. What do we mean when we say the term "flash of Orthodoxy"? That is when the wars, the third world war, and other local wars end, those of us who live, I have an idea instead of living. We don't spend much time on this. I say this. It's not funny. It's because we will go through hardships as many of us as live. Know this. We will endure hardships with great patience. Our faith will all be tested. The beam feels. Let it not fall. Let him who thinks he stands on it be careful not to fall. Those of us who live so that the population of the earth will be greatly reduced by nuclear weapons, by various fires, earthquakes, sinkings, and in all nations, because these are times of nations that we have entered. Which In will pay for each nation, that is, its sin in history. After Orthodox leaders take over, at least in Constantinople and In Russia, there will be a period that will not be very long. Some say a few decades where Orthodoxy will be preached throughout the world. Throughout the world. Let no one have any complaints about Christ being a Chinese, an Indian. But I, my Christ, did not know that you are God. How you were crucified, born, crucified, resurrected, and ascended. No one will preach to everyone, and some will believe, others will not believe. This is the glimmer of Orthodoxy. Not as some interpret it, that the Greeks will dominate. Not like that . No nationalisms in the prophecies. Nor will the Russians have their humiliation as we have now. God takes care of all of us. And you know what God's care is. It is not our glory. It is our humiliation. You, Father, are how He allows each of us personally and each nation to be humbled. For those of us who have lived as Cypriots for 50 years now, is it not a humiliation for us to wake up every morning and see the five-fingered Turkish flag opposite us? He questions all that I have described to you. Are they tricks of the devil to deceive even the elect? No, these are not tricks of the devil. These are real events. Some prophetologists, not prophets, prophetologists, those who deal with prophecy like me, have fallen out. I, too, may fall out in an interpretation I make of a prophecy . I am not infallible. I am not Pope. Nor do I want to be pope. I want to be a pope, not a pope. How can we understand that some prophecies have come true? There is no need for you to understand it, my dear. You will feel it as I did when they were preaching; it is the worst of all evils that is still happening. Until today, the Jews of the only hospital leveled it. Think about it, isn't this the fulfillment of the prophecy of Saint Paisios that Palestine will become a stadium? No, what is happening now will happen. It is happening now. Well, the thing requires a distinction . When does a prophecy come true, and when should you still wait for it? It may be the beginning of verification. Don't rush, Saint Morphou, to go out into the canals and say, "Come on, others, I'm a fool, and you don't believe me, don't rush." ​​There may be other events that will happen. That's why I tell you, dealing with prophecy requires a lot of patience, a lot of humility. Expect that many will not believe you. They will mock you. They will make fun of you. And in the Old Testament, it did. Their prophets mocked them, they drove them out, they killed them. They will even kill me. And also, we must distinguish between the two. Another prophet, the man who has a prophetic gift. Well, either in the Old Testament or in the New. And another prophetologist. A prophetologist studies the prophecies, transmits them to the people, not all, some, interprets them, and requires much prayer. And a man I have been reading recently, who has dealt with them, Father Athanasios of Mytilene says. I recommend that you read all of his books. Light, light, light. One of the contemporary saints said that He was given by God the gift of interpreting the prophecies in the Book of Saints and The Revelation. Now He says before the Great World Wars There are not only prophecies that Saint Paisios said, Angel Mesouglo There Saint Matrona, nor Mikrasiadis Sai was, nor Kyprea Vera, Russian, when he fell asleep, he said 1952 In fact, on May 2, 1952, in Moscow Well, I was old at 52. I was old in 62. Well, and he says the following. Before the great world war that was to come. And he says to these students of theirs. You may reach it or your children . That is, he also specifies a time frame for them. Not after 500 years. Well, so God tells them that. God will provide educational solutions. That is why I am saying this. God says because He sympathizes With each person individually, and does not want their misfortune, He will allow Some who are kind, good people, but he says they have a little problem with faith. It may be that they are unconfessed, that they have some sin that they love very much and have not cut it. He will allow these people, the good-natured, the bright ones, to have psychological problems. God, he says, will allow them to die so that she can live through the difficult times of the world war. And when her students told her where she was, where they had the saint to take care of her, to listen to her, how will they die, she says, "Erontissa," others say they will die of incurable diseases. We were filled with Augusta. Every day she sends you, you know, she commemorates so-and-so, so-and-so, Dimitris to have brain surgery for malignancy. Dimitra is separating from her husband. Well, we keep hearing about incurable diseases. For me, divorce is an incurable disease and even contagious to our children. What are drugs? What is a disease? Well, some say they will die from these diseases, and others say from accidents. If you think about the climate crisis. Yes. Yes. He says it is at a critical point. Well, excuse me. The climate has a problem. I'm not saying it doesn't have a problem. Who caused the problem? Only the planes that spray us. Only the ships that send radiation and cause floods, earthquakes, and inundations. And these are happening in our days. With the demonic technology that we have to develop, not only Western and other people. My child, the problem is our sin. Why, why did this world, this universe, have the Triune God as its creator, and this God will never, ever allow His creation is to be destroyed. But when he sees that the actions of people are such that they cause demonic ones that they take rather to correct that the demons take rights from our own sins, he foresees it from the airs from the heavenly E, the heavenly bodies, meteorites, other planets, other galaxies. Well, God takes it for the moment. Well, and he tells you since These people do not want mercy. They do not have people praying sufficiently in Valencia, in Thessaly, in Paphos, the day before yesterday, present. If he kept the most honest mayor said one hour, they would suffer worse in Paphos and Limassol. But it seems some people pray. Well, some priests operate with their hearts. The fathers of this are a great case. And so the demonic energies contract, gather in a city, in an area where all these carnal sins that we described earlier for other times are committed, where abortions are done, and no one repents, where witchcraft, Satanism is done. Sorry, all this does not gather energy. Do you understand what I mean? Everyone sits and says in private, the scoundrels and the zealots, enough of their slander, enough of their fabrications, their technology. Them:. Here is a simple priest: when there is a drought, and it does not rain, his knees are watering a little, he reads three prayers, and immediately it rains. What is this reversal of the so-called natural laws? Which natural law says that Cyprus will have a drought for four years? But come on, He has humble priests and humble believers who pray, who make litanies with relics, with icons, that attract the power of God, the grace of God. And our God comes and covers our city. And even if The evils are to come tenfold; only two come. Instead of a hurricane coming, as happened in Florida, it comes like a tornado. Understand what I mean, so where does it depend on us? We have intense power in our hands, and we, modern people and Christians, have become cowards. Well, let's wait, as he says, it will happen here in our city, on our island, Crete, the Turks will take it. As one of the prophecies says, Rhodes or Cyprus will be occupied in its entirety . Don't even ask him about some prophecies. Make those inactions act. My child, we have three or four who say that. Crete, Southern Crete will have problems. Sorry, Crete produced so many Saints in the 20th century. I know of five in the 20th century. Make criticism, prayer, and vigils. Well, and see for yourself if the Turks will dare, and if they can come, they won't do many things. Levantia is not just dancing with giddiness and having women bragging about us from below. Levantia is kneeling and changing the will of God. Because God wants the good. And when he sees us approaching him in a good way, and what is the good way? A humble way, a painful way, then things change. That is, we are not bound by the prophecies. We did not call Saint porfyrios hyposthetized at all. What did he say? Listen to something, he said, you fool. Prophecy is given to people with the intention of never coming true. Understand. Do you understand what, because you are a little difficult to grasp? You caught it, I'd better explain it to you. He caught it. He caught it. He caught it . He caught it. He was an economist who studied. That's it. So. Prophecy was given to people, and it is given to people with the intention of never coming true. So, where does it depend on us? We can sit like idiots watching television. You understand and wait, oh, the third world war is coming. Ah, aha, now it's time for the Jews to kill the Persians and then for Russia and China are to come down. Hahaha, the Euphrates, wherever it is, will dry up. Well, For him, for him, for him we said years ago in the psalm, make groups of 10-10.

she saw it

 Agia Galactia, whom she knew personally, had spoken about the martyr's end of the Ecumenical Patriarch. He will change the religious leadership. Bartholomew is also on the verge of change. I don't know how he will leave. Gerotisa had seen him once and said, "Let's pray, and I will say this." She had seen the gray-haired man enter and cut off his head so that he would leave as a martyr and be able to atone for some of his sins. And the greatest sin is this rapprochement with the papacy, and she said, "Let's fall on our knees and pray not to allow it." The old woman saw them enter the lantern and take his head, and she said so.
