Spirits out of the orthodox

It is not always that the Creator Praise does not have the Spirit of the Creator - 2 - I believe all this Charismatic nonsense and the Pentecostal Word of Faith Movement has its roots in Mysticism.3 - I would recommend all Pentecostals or Charismatic persuasion that is filtered In other dogmas, listen to them. Stop trusting your heart (your feelings, feelings, etc.) for "the heart is deceptive above all things." 4 The problem I see in Pentecostalism is the Continuationist conviction, and it is confirmed by what we find today - all this eccentric nonsense that is so far out of the Biblical parameters because they are based on his own thoughts, feelings, emotions, ecstatic expressions and experiences, which must be controlled by the Word of God, and most of which s not the test. If you do not "test all things," how do we know if it really is from God? .5-.You can not be saved until you humble yourself. You must pray every day..6-most people want to keep on sinning, doing evil. Love at all costs, forgive everyone who has hurt you. Humble So that God can use you. 7 - The Catholic Church has always been a tool of Satan to deceive people, as we can see even nowadays. 8 -In the 5 centuries that passed Luther to this day, the Orthodox Church has been justified. Protestantism was broken down into thousands of different, and often opposing (dogmatic) groups. However, each group insists that it escapes the doctrine of the Bible and accepts only what the Bible says, nothing less and nothing more.

The Pentarchy of Darkness and the Role of World Leaders According to spiritual interpretations and statements attributed to Orthodox elders, forces operating behind visible political developments are allegedly seeking to establish a global government. Reference is made to a hidden global power, described as the “Pentarchy of Darkness,” supposedly consisting of influential families who seek to direct world events and gradually weaken independent nation-states. Within this interpretation, many political leaders are portrayed as mere instruments or “puppets” of these centres of power, allegedly leading their own nations into destructive conflicts. There is also the view that Russia is being particularly targeted because it is perceived as resisting these global structures while maintaining its distinct religious and political identity. The Prophecies of Saint Paisios and Father Elpidios Saint Paisios is attributed with a warning that Europe would undergo severe trials and be torn apart by its own allies. In a similar spirit, Father Elpidios has expressed his concerns about the possible expansion of armed conflicts across the European continent, with NATO becoming actively involved and serious consequences facing its member states. These warnings describe several possible developments: * Geopolitical fragmentation: The possible dissolution and division of countries into smaller territories, accompanied by internal conflicts. * Social and economic devastation: Images of destruction, famine and misery, potentially affecting Greece directly. * Spiritual crisis: Concerns about the attitudes of religious leaders and the gradual departure of societies from faith, leading to what is described in the Gospel as the separation of the tares from the wheat. The Spiritual Perspective and the Hope for Humanity As emphasised in these spiritual interpretations, politicians tend to explain world events through political analysis alone, which represents only one side of the coin. The spiritual perspective considers that periods of crisis may be permitted by God when humanity distances itself from His truth and grace, with the ultimate purpose of awakening people and calling them back to genuine faith and spiritual values. Despite these grave warnings, the final message remains one of prayer, repentance and hope in the grace of the Most Holy Theotokos. Our prayer is that these frightening visions of destruction will never come to pass, that peace will prevail among nations, and that the Virgin Mary will protect our countries and all humanity through her intercessions. May God grant peace to the world, protect the innocent, and guide humanity back to faith, truth and love. Amen.

Elder Galaktia of Crete: Her Prophetic Words Concerning Cyprus According to accounts attributed to Elder Galaktia of Crete, she spoke about the future of Cyprus, the Turkish occupation, and the possibility of dramatic developments in the region. One of the most striking statements attributed to her appears on page 157 of the book The Holy Elder Galaktia of Crete: “Cyprus will be united beautifully, beautifully. They will leave (referring to the Turks), and then you will also obtain true freedom.” This statement is understood as referring to the end of the Turkish occupation, the departure of Turkish forces, and the reunification of Cyprus. Another account, reportedly recorded on page 108, describes a conversation in which she was asked whether similar events would also take place in Cyprus. Her answer was: “Yes, my child. A few things will happen there too.” The account continues with references to the Turks appearing for two or three days and to a possible Russian intervention in support of Greece. These statements have been interpreted by some as referring to a future Greek-Turkish crisis that could also affect Cyprus. The central message attributed to Elder Galaktia is one of hope: that Cyprus will not remain divided forever, that the Turkish occupation will come to an end, and that the island will eventually experience genuine freedom and reunification. May peace, justice and freedom come to Cyprus, and may the island never again experience the suffering of war.

Order. The new world order wants to destroy man, to lead him to the post-human. For transhumanism, as we say, to happen. So, and it tries to destroy—meaning, it destroys the human person and tries to make it, to make the person, which—God made us persons. E—to make it an individual, it makes it an individual, meaning depersonalization. The man who lives in sin and has no repentance lives as an individual, lives for himself, within his egoism. This is an individual. When he comes to repentance, he becomes a person. Saint Sophrony explains these things very clearly. So, because God is a person, He makes the person who—who enters into repentance—a person through repentance, and man then begins to become a person and speaks with God. Person means to speak with another. So, to see the other. So, and to speak with him. When you are an individual, you look only at yourself, you do not look at someone else. You are isolated within yourself, an individual. You are a number, you are not a person. And they are trying to make us individuals now. To give us a number, so to depersonalize us, to make us robots, to make us—because they want us to be manipulable. To manipulate us, to do whatever they want with us. And if we are persons, they cannot do this. If we are persons, because we have freedom, we have free will, we have this freedom from God, this ability to choose. But if they cut off this—if they remove this ability from us to think as persons and make us individuals, then they will make us like machines, like robots. This is what they aim to achieve. But the Church has this ability, through the grace of God and the repentance that Christ gives to man, to preserve man as a person and prevent man from ending up an individual. But he must have repentance, to live—to live within the grace of God. There is no answer here. So, and we don't care what Elon Musk is doing with robots and so on. Technology is good. But when it is used for a good purpose. The computer is good, but how do you use it? When you use it to watch porn, this destroys you. When you use it to do what we are doing now, it helps you. So.

An Orthodox Christian Response to the Alleged Visions of Purgatory As an Orthodox Christian, I cannot accept this account as a description of the state of souls after death, nor can I accept the Roman Catholic doctrine of Purgatory. The first question we must ask is: Where is the biblical and apostolic foundation for these claims? Where in Holy Scripture are we taught that thousands of souls arrive in a specific place every day, that most remain there for thirty to forty years, or that souls undergo a measurable period of purification after death? Where did Christ or His Apostles teach that Purgatory is located in the center of the earth? These details are not teachings established by Holy Scripture or the Orthodox Tradition. They are claims attributed to private revelations, and private revelations must never be elevated above the revealed faith of the Church. The Orthodox Church does pray for the departed. We pray that God, in His infinite mercy, will forgive their sins and grant them rest. We believe in the power of prayer for the dead, in the mercy of God, and in the hope of the Resurrection. However, praying for the departed is not the same as accepting the Roman Catholic doctrine of Purgatory. Consider the words of Christ to the repentant thief: “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) We also read: “It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27) And in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31), Christ describes the state of the departed without presenting the system of purification and fixed periods of punishment described in this alleged revelation. Furthermore, the Orthodox Church teaches that the fate of the departed belongs to the judgment and mercy of God. We do not claim to know the exact nature, location, duration, or mechanics of the soul’s experience after death. There is a fundamental difference between the Orthodox practice of praying for the departed and accepting a detailed theological system based on alleged supernatural conversations. We must not confuse the mercy of God with a doctrine that Christ and His Apostles never explicitly taught. Our hope is not in a system of calculated years of punishment, but in Jesus Christ, His victory over death, His Resurrection, and His infinite mercy. May God have mercy on all the departed and grant them eternal rest. This is the Orthodox Christian faith, and this is why we cannot accept Purgatory as a dogma of the Church.

Ακολουθεί το κείμενο σε ενιαία μορφή copy-paste, έτοιμο για χρήση στο blog σας: Πώς μπορούν οι Άγιοι να ακούν τις προσευχές εκατομμυρίων ανθρώπων την ίδια στιγμή; Ορθόδοξη Διδασκαλία: Ο Θεός είναι Εκείνος που κάνει γνωστές τις προσευχές στους Αγίους. * Οι Άγιοι δεν είναι πανταχού παρόντες Μόνο ο Θεός είναι πανταχού παρών. Οι Άγγελοι και οι Άγιοι είναι δημιουργημένα όντα. Δεν έχουν παντογνωσία, πανταχού παρούσα ή απεριόριστη δύναμη. * Πώς, λοιπόν, μπορούν να ακούν τις προσευχές μας; Ο Θεός μπορεί να κάνει γνωστές στους Αγίους τις προσευχές που απευθύνονται σε αυτούς. Ο Άγιος δεν γίνεται Θεός· παραμένει ένα δημιουργημένο ον, ακόμα και στη δόξα του Θεού. * Τι σημαίνει αυτό για την τιμή των Αγίων; * Λατρεία (Λατρεία): Αποδίδεται αποκλειστικά στον Τριαδικό Θεό. * Τιμητική προσκύνηση: Αποδίδεται στους Αγίους ως άγιοι υπηρέτες του Θεού. * Πρεσβεία: Ζητάμε από τους Αγίους να προσεύχονται στον Θεό για λογαριασμό μας. * Μια Σημαντική Ερώτηση Εάν ο Θεός γνωρίζει ήδη όλες τις ανάγκες μας και μπορεί να μας βοηθήσει άμεσα, γιατί ζητάμε την πρεσβεία των Αγίων; Η απάντηση βρίσκεται στην κοινωνία της αγάπης και της ενότητας του Σώματος του Χριστού. Ακριβώς όπως ζητάμε από έναν εν ζωή αδελφό ή αδελφή να προσευχηθεί για εμάς, έτσι ζητάμε και την πρεσβεία των Αγίων. Το Ουσιαστικό Σημείο Η Ορθοδοξία δεν διδάσκει ότι οι Άγιοι διαθέτουν ανεξάρτητη θεϊκή εξουσία. Κάθε χάρη που έχουν προέρχεται από τον Θεό. Αυτό είναι το κλειδί για την κατανόηση της σχέσης μεταξύ του Θεού, των Αγγέλων και των Αγίων.

Here is the complete English translation, with natural English wording, correct grammar, and the original Orthodox theological meaning preserved. ABOUT REINCARNATION How Are Alleged Memories of Previous Lives Created in Children? According to this view, the following events take place in children through the creation of false memories: 1. A young child falls asleep. 2. Alleged memories of previous lives are implanted in the child’s mind. 3. The child wakes up and begins to believe that he or she is actually someone else. For example, the child thinks: “In my previous life, I was another person. I died one day, and now I have been born again. I had another family, a wife, and three children. We lived in Bangkok.” 4. The child tells these stories to adults. The child does not believe that he or she is lying and may even identify the location of the former family home or provide other details. Some of this information is investigated and confirmed. 5. Some researchers and authors believe these accounts and subsequently publish books supporting the theory of reincarnation. 6. According to the Orthodox perspective being presented here, the deceptions of the devil lie behind these phenomena. ⸻ 2 Corinthians 2:11 “So that we may not be outwitted by Satan, for we are not unaware of his schemes.” ⸻ The Alleged Creation of False Memories The above method is presented as being similar to the appearance of unusual dreams. According to this interpretation, demons use young children because it is easier to convince people through them. Adults are considered less suitable for such a purpose because they are more likely to question sudden memories of an alleged previous life. They have already lived for many years without having such memories, and if they suddenly began experiencing them, their story would be less convincing. Furthermore, other people might question their claims and assume that they were lying. In contrast, young children are considered by many to be innocent and naïve, while adults often believe that children are incapable of deliberately inventing such stories. The children themselves may also genuinely believe what they describe. Moreover, in some cases, the information they provide concerns real people and actual locations. The Creation of False Memories in Adults In reality, false memories can also be formed in the minds of adults. For example, some people experience psychological problems and seek help from therapists. Some therapists use hypnosis as a therapeutic tool, attempting to explore the subconscious mind and identify possible past events that they believe may be connected to the patient’s psychological problems. As part of this process, hypnosis is administered to the patient. Hypnosis and meditation are presented here as similar states, with the difference being that meditation is performed by the individual, whereas hypnosis can be conducted with the assistance of another person. According to this description, these states constitute transitional stages leading to a state of trance. Trance is metaphorically described as a cinema in which three-dimensional images are projected and appear completely real. This is why it is symbolically called the “THEATRE OF DREAMS.” What Happens to the Patient During This Process? The patient enters this state and, according to the above description, begins to experience images and events as though personally participating in a motion picture. The patient sees his or her own life through these images. The patient mentally returns to childhood and relives some of the most painful events of the past. Once this is considered sufficient, the process turns back towards the present and comes to an end. According to this interpretation, new, false, and painful memories have now been recorded in the patient’s mind. The trance ends, and the patient returns to the normal waking state, having previously experienced a condition somewhere between sleep and wakefulness. The patient and the therapist are now faced with a new situation. The therapist could say: “These memories did not previously exist in your subconscious mind. We recorded them during the trance. We introduced them into your mind, and now they have become a source of torment for you.” The Orthodox Christian Position on Reincarnation Christ conquered death not by liberating humanity from the body, but through the Resurrection, granting humanity the hope of eternal life and the incorruptibility of the body. The doctrine of karma and reincarnation nullifies the mystery of salvation through Christ. According to the Orthodox Christian faith, the whole human person, both soul and body, will stand before the Eternal Judge, not merely the soul alone. Reincarnation, by diminishing the significance of the body and presenting it as something temporary that is abandoned in order for another life to follow, does not merely undermine the Christian hope in Christ; it also undermines the deeper meaning of divine worship and the Holy Eucharist. And this raises a fundamental question: What is the purpose of suffering in this life if a person does not even remember the mistakes of an alleged previous life? What benefit is there in undergoing this painful process if one is simply going to return to life again and repeat the same journey?

What Modern Saints Said About Extraterrestrials Saint Paisios When asked if extraterrestrials exist, Saint Paisios answered: "You should know that these are all demonic things that take on various forms. There is no life on any other planet." "In the last times, do not look at the sky. You may be misled by the false signs that will appear there. You will be deceived and you will perish." "Every thought about extraterrestrials by Orthodox Christians is unacceptable. Extraterrestrials are demons that were angels who fell into sin. There is no other civilization; only this world was created by God for humans." Saint Porphyrios One day, some small children—students of the catechism school—approached him and asked him if it is true that extraterrestrials exist. And the Saint answered: "All these, you know, are fantastic, demonic things! There is no life on another planet!" Elder Gabriel of Georgia Speaking about the last times, Elder Gabriel said, among other things: "In the years of the Antichrist, the world will await salvation from space. This will be the greatest trick of the devil! Humanity will ask for help from extraterrestrials, ignoring that they are actually demons." Elder Cleopa of Ilia "One evening, after midnight, I was in the cave and had finished the Midnight Office, when suddenly I heard a very loud noise. I thought all the earth was shaking. I went outside to see what this noise was, but when I opened the door of my cave, I saw a bright light outside, and inside it a bronze cistern with many wheels. From this came down a tall man with big eyes, with a black, sour face, and he asked me abruptly: 'What are you looking for here?'" "Then I remembered what the Holy Fathers tell us: that if you have the Holy Mysteries, you have Christ in your presence. I had Holy Communion hidden in a storage place in the trunk of a fir tree, inside my cave. When I saw this demonic scene, I quickly went inside, took the Holy Gifts in my hands, and only said this: 'Lord Jesus Christ, do not abandon me!'" "When I went out again, I saw him moving away from the power of Christ. Next to my cave was a deep ravine where this unclean spirit fell. But how did it fall? Reaching the edge of the ravine, he turned himself and the cistern three times, then fell inside with a tremendous crash! This crash was heard in my ears until the next night, that is, for a full day." Summary Position of the Church

Ακολουθεί η μετάφραση του κειμένου της εικόνας στα αγγλικά: Elderly Nun Galaktia: * – Once I told him: * – Tell me, you poor wretch, in the name of Him who pierced you with the nails of the Cross, what do you consider your greatest achievement? * He answered: * – To convince people that I do not exist! * – And how do you convince them? * – I make them believe that everything I do is just psychology and fantasies. * – And which of human deeds pleases you the most? * – When they invite me to go and do chores for them (witchcraft), blasphemies, bloodshed (murders-brawls), and perversions. Elderly Nun Galaktia: * – You, be with Christ and do not fear. * Do not treat Him as a scarecrow, but do not play with Him either! * He has great power. Christ turns him into dust in an instant...! * Never dare to think that you have defeated Him. * He will thresh you (reign over you). * Whatever good you do, attribute it to Christ. * And whatever evil you do, write it down as belonging to you and to the monkey (the devil). * Then repent.

"A few days ago, a demon came—which I know exists—and confessed. He was uneasy; he didn't have his wits about him. This person hears the demon inside him, but when we read to him with a few priests here, ooh! He had a terrifying seizure and an apocalyptic demon, telling him things we did 50 years ago, confessing them. While we were talking—this is an apparition—the devil ridiculed me, saying to the devil, 'Don't pity him, don't give him rights.' And the priests say, 'He is to be pitied; if we give him rights, it becomes a whirlwind among us, but if we feel it, we press and erase it with the name of Christ.' And immediately the demon inside him rose up and said, 'Shut up! Wait for us to speak with the neophyte who is going to die and come to the Telonia.' You hear? 'Shut up, you cartographer!' 'Am I to be pitied?' he says. You know that many theologians and clergy doubt the Telonia? So, to me, the demon told me—when I got the chills, I remember, when he said that I am to be pitied, and told me not to wait for you at the Telonia to show you how pitied you are... Peter... that I am afraid. My mother is at the Telonia, my grandmother is there, Saint Euphemia is there, Saint James is there. Wow! Listen to the name James, and write a letter: 'The pastor is canceling our sins.' Hm? So, when we have such experiences of such holy fathers and holy mothers, is it possible for me to square the circle? Sixty years old, what am I? I am near death! But from the moment the Holy Spirit of the Holy and Mary of Parthenou glorifies the great name of the theologically... 'God became perfect and a perfect man'... I have eternal life!"

THE UNCREATED HOLY LIGHT: A MYSTERY OF THE ORTHODOX FAITH The Divine Light Revealed During the Sacrament of Holy Baptism Only in the Orthodox Church do we encounter the fullness of the ancient sacramental tradition, in which the mystery of God’s grace is revealed through the Holy Mysteries. Throughout the centuries, Orthodox Christians have testified to the profound spiritual mystery of the Holy Mysteries, especially Holy Baptism, through which a person is born anew in Christ and receives the gift of the Holy Spirit. THE UNCREATED LIGHT OF GOD In Orthodox theology, the Uncreated Light is not ordinary physical light. It refers to the divine glory and uncreated energies of God, revealed by His grace. This is the light that shone from Christ at His Transfiguration on Mount Tabor, when His divine glory was manifested before the Apostles Peter, James, and John. The Orthodox Church teaches that through purification, prayer, repentance, and participation in the sacramental life of the Church, human beings may become partakers of divine grace. This is known as theosis — becoming united with God by grace, without becoming God by nature. WHAT HAPPENS DURING HOLY BAPTISM? Holy Baptism is not merely a symbolic ceremony or a public declaration of faith. According to the Orthodox Church, it is a true sacrament through which a person is united with Christ, dies to sin, and rises to new life in Him. As the Lord Jesus Christ declared: “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” — John 3:5 Through Baptism, the newly baptized person receives the gift of new life in Christ and becomes a member of His Church. The Orthodox tradition also connects Baptism with illumination, which is why the newly baptized has historically been called photizomenos — the one being enlightened. The Church celebrates this mystery with prayers, the blessing of water, the anointing with holy oil, the triple immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and the sacrament of Holy Chrismation. DOES THE UNCREATED LIGHT APPEAR DURING BAPTISM? There are testimonies and videos circulated online that claim to show extraordinary light during Orthodox baptisms. Such images can inspire awe and encourage reflection on the presence of God in the sacramental life.

ΓΙΑΤΙ Η ΜΕΤΕΝΣΑΡΚΩΣΗ ΔΕΝ ΣΥΜΒΙΒΑΖΕΤΑΙ ΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΗ ΧΡΙΣΤΙΑΝΙΚΗ ΠΙΣΤΗ WHY REINCARNATION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY ПОЧЕМУ РЕИНКАРНАЦИЯ НЕСОВМЕСТИМА С ПРАВОСЛАВНЫМ ХРИСТИАНСТВОМ ⸻ 🇬🇷 ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ 1. Η Μεταμόρφωση του Χριστού: Μια μαρτυρία ενάντια στη μετενσάρκωση Όταν ο Κύριός μας Ιησούς Χριστός ανέβηκε στο όρος μαζί με τους τρεις μαθητές Του, τον Πέτρο, τον Ιάκωβο και τον Ιωάννη, τους αποκάλυψε τη θεία Του δόξα. Εκεί εμφανίστηκαν ο Μωυσής και ο προφήτης Ηλίας, συνομιλώντας μαζί Του (Ματθαίος 17:1–9· Λουκάς 9:28–36). Ο Μωυσής είχε πεθάνει αιώνες πριν από τη Γέννηση του Χριστού, ενώ ο Ηλίας είχε αναληφθεί στους ουρανούς με πύρινο άρμα (Δ΄ Βασιλειών 2:11). Και όμως, εμφανίστηκαν ως συγκεκριμένα πρόσωπα, διατηρώντας την προσωπική τους ταυτότητα. Η Μεταμόρφωση αποκαλύπτει τη δόξα του Χριστού και φανερώνει ότι ο θάνατος δεν εξαφανίζει την προσωπική ταυτότητα του ανθρώπου. Ο Μωυσής δεν εμφανίστηκε ως κάποιος άλλος άνθρωπος που είχε γεννηθεί σε μια νέα ζωή. Εμφανίστηκε ως ο ίδιος ο Μωυσής. Η Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία διδάσκει ότι ο άνθρωπος δεν προορίζεται να περιπλανιέται μέσα σε ατελείωτους κύκλους διαδοχικών ενσαρκώσεων. Η χριστιανική ελπίδα δεν είναι η επανειλημμένη γέννηση σε διαφορετικά σώματα, αλλά η ανάσταση των νεκρών και η αιώνια ζωή εν Χριστώ. 2. Το κάρμα και η μετενσάρκωση απέναντι στην Ανάσταση Η Ανάσταση του Χριστού αποτελεί το θεμέλιο της χριστιανικής πίστεως. Ο Χριστός νίκησε τον θάνατο όχι καταργώντας το σώμα, αλλά ανοίγοντας τον δρόμο για την ανάσταση και την αφθαρσία ολόκληρου του ανθρώπου. Ο Απόστολος Παύλος διακηρύσσει: «Εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται, ματαία ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν» (Α΄ Κορινθίους 15:17). Η χριστιανική ελπίδα δεν βασίζεται στην απόδραση της ψυχής από το σώμα. Βασίζεται στη μεταμόρφωση και την αποκατάσταση του ανθρώπου διά της δυνάμεως του Θεού. Οι αντιλήψεις περί κάρμα και μετενσάρκωσης, όπως συναντώνται σε διάφορες θρησκευτικές και φιλοσοφικές παραδόσεις, διαφέρουν ουσιαστικά από την ορθόδοξη διδασκαλία. Η σωτηρία δεν είναι αποτέλεσμα ενός απρόσωπου κοσμικού μηχανισμού ανταπόδοσης ούτε μιας ατελείωτης σειράς γεννήσεων. Είναι δωρεά της χάριτος του Θεού διά του Ιησού Χριστού. Εάν ο άνθρωπος γεννιόταν ξανά και ξανά σε διαφορετικά σώματα χωρίς να θυμάται τις προηγούμενες ζωές του, πώς θα μπορούσε να γνωρίζει τις υποτιθέμενες προηγούμενες πράξεις του και να κατανοεί την προσωπική του ευθύνη γι’ αυτές; Η Ορθοδοξία δεν διδάσκει ότι το σώμα είναι μια φυλακή από την οποία πρέπει να απελευθερωθούμε. Το σώμα είναι δημιούργημα του Θεού και προορίζεται να συμμετάσχει στην αιώνια ζωή μέσω της Αναστάσεως. Γι’ αυτό η Θεία Ευχαριστία, η προσδοκία της αναστάσεως και η τελική κρίση έχουν κεντρική θέση στη χριστιανική πίστη. Στη Δευτέρα Παρουσία, ο Θεός θα κρίνει τον ίδιο τον άνθρωπο που έζησε, αγάπησε, αμάρτησε, μετανόησε και αναζήτησε τη σωτηρία. Η χριστιανική πίστη διακηρύσσει την ανάσταση των νεκρών και όχι την ατέρμονη μετενσάρκωση. 3. Η ύπνωση και ο πνευματικός κίνδυνος της πλάνης Από ορθόδοξη πνευματική σκοπιά, οι ασυνήθιστες εμπειρίες κατά την ύπνωση δεν πρέπει να θεωρούνται αυτομάτως αποκαλύψεις της αλήθειας ή αποδείξεις προηγούμενων ζωών. Η ύπνωση μπορεί να επηρεάσει την αντίληψη, τη φαντασία και τη μνήμη. Η υποβολή και οι ψευδείς αναμνήσεις μπορούν να δημιουργήσουν εμπειρίες που φαίνονται αληθινές, χωρίς να ανταποκρίνονται σε πραγματικά γεγονότα. Η Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία προειδοποιεί για την πνευματική πλάνη και καλεί τους πιστούς να εξετάζουν με διάκριση κάθε ισχυρισμό περί υπερφυσικών εμπειριών. Ορισμένοι πιστοί μπορεί να ερμηνεύουν τέτοιες εμπειρίες ως πιθανή πνευματική εξαπάτηση. Ωστόσο, δεν υπάρχει επιστημονική απόδειξη ότι δαίμονες παρεμβαίνουν στο υποσυνείδητο κατά την ύπνωση. Η αλήθεια της χριστιανικής πίστεως δεν χρειάζεται υπνωτικές αναδρομές ή τεχνητές αναμνήσεις για να επιβεβαιωθεί. Η ελπίδα μας βρίσκεται στον Χριστό, στη νίκη Του κατά του θανάτου και στην υπόσχεση της Αναστάσεως. Δεν περιμένουμε να ξαναγεννηθούμε σε μια άλλη επίγεια ζωή. Περιμένουμε την ανάσταση των νεκρών και τη ζωή του μέλλοντος αιώνος. ⸻ 🇬🇧 ENGLISH 1. The Transfiguration of Christ: A Witness Against Reincarnation When our Lord Jesus Christ ascended the mountain with His three disciples—Peter, James, and John—He revealed His divine glory to them. Moses and the Prophet Elijah appeared before them, speaking with Christ (Matthew 17:1–9; Luke 9:28–36). Moses had died centuries before the birth of Christ, whereas Elijah had been taken up into heaven in a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11). Yet both appeared as distinct persons, retaining their personal identities. The Transfiguration reveals the glory of Christ and demonstrates that death does not erase a person’s identity. Moses did not appear as someone else who had been born into a new life. He appeared as Moses himself. The Orthodox Church teaches that human beings are not destined to wander through endless cycles of successive incarnations. The Christian hope is not repeated rebirth into different bodies, but the resurrection of the dead and eternal life in Christ. 2. Karma and Reincarnation Versus the Resurrection The Resurrection of Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith. Christ conquered death not by abolishing the body, but by opening the way to the resurrection and incorruptibility of the whole human person. The Apostle Paul declares: “And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain” (1 Corinthians 15:17, KJV). Christian hope is not based on the soul escaping from the body. It rests upon the transformation and restoration of the human person through the power of God. The concepts of karma and reincarnation, as understood in various religious and philosophical traditions, differ fundamentally from Orthodox Christian teaching. Salvation is not the result of an impersonal cosmic mechanism of reward and punishment, nor is it achieved through an endless succession of births. It is a gift of God’s grace through Jesus Christ. If a person were born again and again into different bodies without remembering previous lives, how could that person know the supposed actions of those lives and understand personal responsibility for them? Orthodoxy does not teach that the body is a prison from which we must escape. The body is God’s creation and is destined to participate in eternal life through the Resurrection. This is why the Divine Eucharist, the expectation of the resurrection, and the Last Judgment occupy a central place in the Christian faith. At the Second Coming of Christ, God will judge the very person who lived, loved, sinned, repented, and sought salvation. Christianity proclaims the resurrection of the dead, not an endless cycle of reincarnation. 3. Hypnosis and the Spiritual Danger of Deception From an Orthodox spiritual perspective, unusual experiences during hypnosis should not automatically be regarded as revelations of truth or evidence of previous lives. Hypnosis can influence perception, imagination, and memory. Suggestion and false memories can create experiences that feel real without corresponding to actual events. The Orthodox Church warns against spiritual deception and calls believers to exercise discernment when evaluating claims of supernatural experiences. Some believers may interpret such experiences as possible spiritual deception. However, there is no scientific evidence that demons intervene in the subconscious mind during hypnosis. The truth of the Christian faith does not require hypnotic regression or artificial memories to be established. Our hope rests in Christ, His victory over death, and His promise of the Resurrection. We do not await another earthly rebirth. We await the resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come. ⸻ 🇷🇺 РУССКИЙ 1. Преображение Христа: свидетельство против реинкарнации Когда Господь наш Иисус Христос взошёл на гору со Своими тремя учениками — Петром, Иаковом и Иоанном, — Он открыл им Свою Божественную славу. Перед ними явились Моисей и пророк Илия, беседовавшие со Христом (Мф. 17:1–9; Лк. 9:28–36). Моисей умер за много столетий до Рождества Христова, тогда как Илия был взят на небо в вихре (4 Цар. 2:11). И всё же оба явились как конкретные личности, сохранившие свою личную идентичность. Преображение открывает славу Христа и показывает, что смерть не уничтожает личность человека. Моисей явился не как другой человек, родившийся в новой жизни, а как сам Моисей. Православная Церковь учит, что человек не предназначен для бесконечного странствия по кругу последовательных воплощений. Христианская надежда заключается не в многократном рождении в разных телах, а в воскресении мёртвых и вечной жизни во Христе. 2. Карма и реинкарнация в свете Воскресения Воскресение Христа является основанием христианской веры. Христос победил смерть не посредством упразднения тела, а открыв путь к воскресению и нетлению всего человеческого существа. Апостол Павел провозглашает: «А если Христос не воскрес, то вера ваша тщетна» (1 Кор. 15:17). Христианская надежда основана не на освобождении души от тела, а на преображении и восстановлении человека силой Божией. Представления о карме и реинкарнации, существующие в различных религиозных и философских традициях, принципиально отличаются от православного христианского учения. Спасение не является результатом безличного космического механизма воздаяния или бесконечной череды рождений. Это дар благодати Божией через Иисуса Христа. Если человек снова и снова рождался бы в разных телах, не помня своих предыдущих жизней, как он мог бы знать о предполагаемых поступках этих жизней и осознавать личную ответственность за них? Православие не учит, что тело является тюрьмой, из которой необходимо бежать. Тело — творение Божие, которому предназначено участвовать в вечной жизни через воскресение. Именно поэтому Божественная Евхаристия, ожидание воскресения и Страшный суд занимают центральное место в христианской вере. Во время Второго пришествия Христос будет судить именно ту личность, которая жила, любила, грешила, каялась и искала спасения. Христианство возвещает воскресение мёртвых, а не бесконечный круг перевоплощений. 3. Гипноз и духовная опасность заблуждения С православной духовной точки зрения необычные переживания во время гипноза не следует автоматически считать откровением истины или доказательством существования прошлых жизней. Гипноз может влиять на восприятие, воображение и память. Внушение и ложные воспоминания способны создавать переживания, которые кажутся реальными, хотя они могут не соответствовать действительным событиям. Православная Церковь предостерегает от духовного заблуждения и призывает верующих с рассуждением относиться к утверждениям о сверхъестественных переживаниях. Некоторые верующие могут истолковывать подобные переживания как возможный духовный обман. Однако научных доказательств того, что демоны вмешиваются в подсознание человека во время гипноза, нет. Истина христианской веры не нуждается в гипнотическом погружении в предполагаемые прошлые жизни или искусственно созданных воспоминаниях. Наша надежда — во Христе, в Его победе над

HYPNOSIS: A DANGEROUS DOOR TO DECEPTION? Under hypnosis, a person may become deeply absorbed in suggestions, imagery, and ideas introduced by another person. From an Orthodox Christian perspective, this raises important questions about discernment, spiritual deception, and the need to guard one’s mind. What a person experiences during hypnosis should not automatically be accepted as truth, revelation, or a glimpse into a hidden spiritual reality. The human imagination and subconscious processes can produce vivid experiences that feel entirely real, yet feelings of certainty do not prove that an experience is genuine. As Orthodox Christians, we are called to test every spiritual claim with discernment, remain grounded in the truth of Christ, and avoid practices that may compromise our freedom, judgment, or spiritual peace. Not every vision is a revelation. Not every voice speaks the truth. And not every extraordinary experience comes from God. Our ultimate guide is not hypnosis, altered consciousness, or mysterious experiences, but Jesus Christ and the truth revealed through His Holy Church.

WHY DOES THE DEVIL WORK THROUGH HERESY? AN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE The Spiritual Danger of Distorting the Truth of Jesus Christ From the perspective of the Orthodox Christian faith, the devil’s greatest aim is not merely to persuade people to deny the existence of God, but to lead them away from the true knowledge of God, the salvation offered through Jesus Christ, and the fullness of the truth revealed to the Church. This is why heresy has always been regarded by the Orthodox Church as a serious spiritual danger. Heresy is not simply a disagreement over religious opinions. It can involve the distortion of the identity of Jesus Christ, the rejection of His divinity, the misunderstanding of the Holy Trinity, or the corruption of the Gospel and the apostolic faith handed down through the generations. The devil is described in Holy Scripture as the father of lies (John 8:44). His characteristic method is deception: making falsehood appear to be truth, darkness appear to be light, and spiritual error appear to be a path to salvation. From this perspective, heresy can become one of the means through which the enemy seeks to separate people from the truth of Christ. 1. The Devil Distorts the Truth Rather Than Always Rejecting It Openly One of the most dangerous characteristics of spiritual deception is that it does not always appear openly hostile to Christianity. A person may speak about God, quote the Bible, pray, preach morality, and even claim to follow Jesus Christ, while simultaneously teaching ideas that contradict the Christian faith. The temptation in the Garden of Eden began with the distortion of God’s word (Genesis 3:1–5). Similarly, when Satan tempted Christ in the wilderness, he even quoted Scripture, attempting to use it in a misleading way (Matthew 4:1–11). This reveals an important spiritual principle: not everything that uses the name of God necessarily communicates the truth about God. A religious teaching must therefore be examined carefully. The question is not merely whether someone quotes the Bible, but whether that person interprets Scripture faithfully and remains consistent with the apostolic faith. 2. Why the Identity of Jesus Christ Is at the Centre of the Battle The most important question in Christianity is: Who is Jesus Christ? The Orthodox Church confesses that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son and Word of God, truly God and truly man. He is not merely a prophet, an angel, a created being, or a moral teacher. He became man for our salvation, was crucified, rose bodily from the dead, and conquered death. The New Testament strongly emphasizes the importance of confessing Christ correctly. In 1 John 4:1, Christians are instructed not to believe every spirit, but to test the spirits to determine whether they are from God. In 2 John 1:9, the apostle warns against departing from the teaching of Christ. In Galatians 1:8, Saint Paul warns that even if someone proclaims a different gospel, that message must not be accepted simply because the messenger claims spiritual authority. Why is this so important? Because if the identity of Christ is distorted, the understanding of salvation is also distorted. If Christ is reduced to a created being, His eternal divinity is denied. If His true humanity or bodily Resurrection is rejected, the Christian understanding of the Incarnation and victory over death is undermined. For Orthodox Christians, defending the truth about Christ is therefore not an exercise in religious pride. It concerns the very heart of the Gospel. 3. Heresy Can Divide People from the Apostolic Faith Christ established His Church and entrusted His apostles with the proclamation of the Gospel. The apostles then handed down the faith through their teaching, their witness, and the life of the Christian community. The Orthodox Church understands Holy Tradition not as a collection of human inventions, but as the living transmission of the apostolic faith, expressed in Scripture, the Church’s worship, the Ecumenical Councils, and the teaching of the Holy Fathers. Throughout history, serious theological disputes arose over the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, His two natures, and other fundamental doctrines. The Church responded by examining these teachings and defending the faith it had received. From an Orthodox spiritual perspective, the devil benefits when Christians are confused, divided, and led to believe that the apostolic faith can be replaced by private interpretations or supposedly new revelations that contradict what Christ and His apostles taught. Nevertheless, it is important to distinguish between deliberate deception and sincere misunderstanding. Not every person who holds an erroneous belief knowingly serves the purposes of evil. Some people may sincerely believe that they are defending God. The spiritual danger lies in the false teaching and its consequences, not in an automatic declaration that every individual who holds it is personally evil. 4. Why False Teaching Can Appear Attractive Religious error can attract people for many reasons. Some teachings offer simple answers to difficult questions. Others promise exclusive knowledge, special spiritual status, certainty about salvation, or the claim that everyone else has misunderstood the Bible. A religious group may insist that only its own leaders possess the correct interpretation of Scripture. It may encourage members to distrust all outside information, reject historical Christian teaching, or regard every disagreement as evidence of persecution. Such methods can make people increasingly dependent on a particular leader or organization. The New Testament warns Christians to remain spiritually vigilant. In Matthew 7:15, Christ warns about false prophets who come in sheep’s clothing but are inwardly ravenous wolves. This warning calls for discernment. It does not authorize Christians to condemn everyone who disagrees with them, but it does require them to examine religious claims rather than accept them blindly. The appearance of holiness is not sufficient proof of truth. Teachings must be tested against the Gospel, the apostolic witness, and the faith preserved by the Church. 5. Why Satan Would Want People to Believe in Christ Incorrectly From the Orthodox Christian perspective, the devil’s opposition to humanity is connected with the desire to separate people from God. If people openly reject Christ, the danger may be obvious. But if they believe they are following Christ while accepting a fundamentally distorted understanding of Him, they may not recognize the spiritual problem. This is why doctrinal deception can be especially serious. A person might sincerely pray to God while denying the Trinity. Another might speak about Jesus while rejecting His eternal divinity. Another might claim to possess a new revelation that contradicts the apostolic Gospel. The Orthodox response is to ask whether such teachings faithfully confess the Christ proclaimed by the apostles and worshipped by the Church. The purpose of discernment is not to win arguments or humiliate opponents. It is to protect the truth of the Gospel and help people come to a fuller knowledge of God. We must also remember that God alone knows the depths of every human heart. We can evaluate teachings according to the Christian faith, but we cannot claim certain knowledge of the hidden spiritual state or intentions of every person who teaches them. 6. How Should Orthodox Christians Respond to Heretics? The Orthodox Christian response must combine doctrinal firmness with humility, prayer, and love. Saint Paul instructs Timothy that the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind, patient, and able to correct opponents with gentleness (2 Timothy 2:24–25). This is a crucial principle. If someone attacks Orthodox Christianity, we should not immediately respond with insults, hatred, or accusations of demonic possession. Such reactions can obscure the truth we are trying to defend and turn a theological discussion into a personal battle. Instead, we should: * Know our faith. Learn the Holy Scriptures, the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, and the essential teachings of the Orthodox Church. * Examine the arguments. Ask what a person actually believes about Christ, the Trinity, salvation, the Resurrection, and the Church. * Use Scripture in context. Do not rely on isolated verses or allow passages to be interpreted in ways that contradict the broader apostolic witness. * Consult the Holy Fathers. Learn how the Church has historically understood the doctrines being disputed. * Speak with courage and gentleness. Firmly reject false teaching without hatred toward the person who holds it. * Pray for those who disagree. The goal of Christian witness is not merely to defeat an opponent, but to help that person discover the truth. We should also recognize when a conversation has become fruitless. Not every argument needs to continue indefinitely. Sometimes a calm explanation, followed by prayer and silence, is wiser than endless controversy. 7. Is Every Heretic Personally an Instrument of the Devil? This question requires an important distinction. In Orthodox Christianity, heresy is understood as a serious departure from the truth of the faith. Scripture also describes the devil as a deceiver who seeks to lead humanity away from God. Consequently, Orthodox Christians may understand the spread of false doctrine as serving, knowingly or unknowingly, purposes opposed to the Gospel. However, it would go beyond what we can know to claim that every person who holds a heretical belief is consciously cooperating with demons or is personally possessed by the devil. A person can sincerely believe an error. Another may have inherited it from family or community. Another may simply lack a proper understanding of Orthodox teaching. Christians are called to discern teachings, but they are not given permission to pronounce infallible judgments on every person’s soul. There is a difference between saying that a teaching can serve the purposes of spiritual deception and claiming that we know the hidden spiritual condition of the person teaching it. This distinction protects Orthodox Christians from pride, hatred, and spiritual delusion. 8. The Greatest Defence Against Spiritual Deception The strongest defence against heresy is not anger. It is a deep and living relationship with Jesus Christ. A Christian who knows the Gospel, participates in the sacramental life of the Church, prays sincerely, repents of personal sins, and seeks guidance from a faithful Orthodox priest is better prepared to recognize teachings that contradict the faith. Spiritual discernment also requires humility. Pride can itself become a source of spiritual danger. Someone may defend correct doctrine while becoming arrogant, hateful, or obsessed with condemning others. The truth of Orthodoxy must be accompanied by the life of Christ. The Church does not teach that we should hate those who are deceived. Rather, we should oppose falsehood while desiring the salvation of every human being. Christ died and rose for the salvation of humanity, including those who misunderstand Him. Our task is to remain faithful to Him, to guard the apostolic faith, to reject teachings that contradict the Gospel, and to pray that those who have gone astray may come to know the truth. CONCLUSION: DEFEND THE TRUTH WITHOUT HATING THE PERSON From an Orthodox Christian perspective, the devil seeks to lead humanity away from God through lies, confusion, division, and the distortion of divine truth. Heresy can become one of the ways this spiritual deception operates, particularly when it changes the Church’s understanding of Jesus Christ and the salvation He offers. But we must never confuse the rejection of false doctrine with hatred of the person who believes it. Our battle is not against human beings as enemies to be destroyed. Saint Paul reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, we must stand firmly for the Orthodox faith while remembering that every human being is created in the image of God and is in need of His mercy. Reject the error. Defend the truth. Pray for the deceived. Guard your own heart against pride. For the ultimate purpose of Orthodox Christianity is not simply to identify falsehood, but to lead humanity into communion with the living God through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” — John 17:17

Erdoğan himself will do very little against us. Some people are trying very hard to frighten us, especially Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his circle. A man of God once told me that with all these intimidations in the Aegean, in Thrace, by stirring up others in Skopje, and here in Cyprus with our natural gas, they have one goal: to fill the hearts of the Cypriots—and also our leaders—with fear. One sign that we, fearful Christians of this age, will witness is the fall of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. What kind of fall it will be, I do not know. Whether political or personal, I cannot say, but the man will fall. He is arrogant, and whoever exalts himself will be humbled. I used to say that the greatest allies of modern Hellenism, weak as some may call it, are our saints—and also Erdoğan himself. His arrogance. So the sign we should expect is that immediately after him, others will take power- more pro-Western figures who will not carry the vision of the Ottoman Empire. Nothing truly serious will happen while Erdoğan is still alive and ruling. The serious events will come after his fall. This is what contemporary holy men who claim to have spiritual insight tell us, because they believe he will collapse through his own pride. When he falls, then the great events will begin. Keep this as a sign. But even during those difficult times, Cyprus will have great protection—and even greater protection if we use these months with deep prayer and repentance. Erdoğan himself will do very little against us. He is intelligent in some ways and knows how to negotiate, but his arrogance will lead to his own self-destruction. He may create a small incident, something limited, and then he will fall. After Erdoğan, others will rise in Turkey—politically inexperienced, pro-Western leaders—and they are the ones who will create the greater disaster for Turkey. What will happen then is that they will damage their friendship with Russia, provoke Russia’s anger, and history has shown that whoever underestimates the Russians eventually fears them.

It is possible that Angelica genuinely experienced something, but I strongly believe that what she saw was not Jesus Christ. She must pray for spiritual discernment, because Christ would not need golden sandals or a golden belt covered with the words “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” to demonstrate His divine authority. His very presence would be sufficient for all to recognize Him as King. Furthermore, would Christ walk through Hell pointing His finger at people and saying, “You know what you did”? When the final judgment comes, God will judge humanity with perfect justice, while the devil seeks to accuse and condemn. Therefore, I sincerely believe that Angelica may have been deceived by the devil, who seeks to lead her astray

Here is the complete text structured for direct copy-pasting into your blog in three languages: English, Greek, and Esperanto. 🇬🇧 English The time that ORTHODOXY will prevail is near We know that it is not only the natural laws, but also spiritual. Therefore, the wrath of God can not be addressed by cooperative sinners (why double rage will become), but by repentance and adherence to orders Lord. Elder Sophronius of Mount Athos (1993) telling the Essex, England like Saint Paisius: “The Union of Churches is difficult if not impossible for them. speak for the Union Churches do not know the mentality of the heterodox or level Orthodoxy.” Saint Paisius the above knowledge, advises everyone to be more restrained because there will be the time when the Lord will present the Marcus Polite and fast palms to gather all scandalized our brethren, to confess the Orthodox faith, to clinch tradition and give great joy to our Mother. Essentially the elder prophesying a truly Orthodox Synod. Perhaps the 8th Ecumenical Council for which prophesied to become the Holy Nile Myrovlytis: Then he made at the eighth meeting, and wants to choose good from evil, ie Orthodoxy, as the farmer selects the wheat from the chaff. and Then make peace little people again will change the agreement in their evil .... Peace in the world can not come without a peacemaker, living and unadulterated teaching Orthodoxy. Dissemination However, although continued after the fall of City, to a degree, it should be maximized and will officially spread dynamically after the 3rd World War general war as Mentioning Agios Kosmas of Aetolia. This will be the period glimpse of Orthodoxy, for a short time, because then start again people are lured into evil. Believe it or not there is going to be a glimpse of orthodoxy around the globe, Because God wants you to know what the real truth is. Before the ascension of the Antichrist. 🇬🇷 Ελληνικά (Greek) Ο καιρός που η ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑ θα επικρατήσει είναι εγγύς Γνωρίζουμε ότι δεν υπάρχουν μόνο οι φυσικοί νόμοι, αλλά και οι πνευματικοί. Επομένως, η οργή του Θεού δεν μπορεί να αντιμετωπιστεί από συνεργαζόμενους αμαρτωλούς (καθώς αυτό θα φέρει διπλή οργή), αλλά με μετάνοια και υπακοή στις εντολές του Κυρίου. Ο Γέροντας Σωφρόνιος του Αγίου Όρους (1993) λέει στο Έσσεξ της Αγγλίας, όπως και ο Άγιος Παΐσιος: «Η Ένωση των Εκκλησιών είναι δύσκολη, αν όχι αδύνατη γι’ αυτούς. Όσοι μιλούν για την Ένωση των Εκκλησιών δεν γνωρίζουν τη νοοτροπία των ετεροδόξων ή το επίπεδο της Ορθοδοξίας.» Ο Άγιος Παΐσιος, έχοντας αυτή τη γνώση, συμβουλεύει όλους να είναι πιο συγκρατημένοι, διότι θα έρθει η ώρα που ο Κύριος θα παρουσιάσει τον Μάρκο τον Ευγενικό και ταχείς προστάτες για να συγκεντρώσουν όλους τους σκανδαλισμένους αδελφούς μας, για να ομολογήσουν την Ορθόδοξη πίστη, να στηρίξουν την παράδοση και να δώσουν μεγάλη χαρά στη Μητέρα μας. Ουσιαστικά ο Γέροντας προφητεύει μια αληθινά Ορθόδοξη Σύνοδο. Ίσως την 8η Οικουμενική Σύνοδο, για την οποία προφήτευσε και ο Άγιος Νείλος ο Μυροβλήτης: Τότε στη συνάντηση αυτή θα θελήσουν να ξεχωρίσουν το καλό από το κακό, δηλαδή την Ορθοδοξία, όπως ο γεωργός ξεχωρίζει το σιτάρι από το άχυρο. Και αφού ειρηνεύσουν, οι κακοί άνθρωποι πάλι θα αθετήσουν τη συμφωνία προς το κακό... Η ειρήνη στον κόσμο δεν μπορεί να έρθει χωρίς έναν ειρηνοποιό, ζωντανή και αθεράπευτα αληθινή διδασκαλία της Ορθοδοξίας. Η διάδοση, αν και συνεχίστηκε μετά την Άλωση της Πόλης σε κάποιο βαθμό, πρέπει να μεγιστοποιηθεί και θα εξαπλωθεί επίσημα και δυναμικά μετά τον 3ο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, όπως αναφέρει και ο Άγιος Κοσμάς ο Αιτωλός. Αυτή θα είναι η περίοδος της λαμπρής αναλαμπής της Ορθοδοξίας, για μικρό χρονικό διάστημα, διότι στη συνέχεια οι άνθρωποι θα παρασυρθούν ξανά στο κακό. Είτε το πιστεύετε είτε όχι, θα υπάρξει μια αναλαμπή της Ορθοδοξίας σε όλο τον πλανήτη, Επειδή ο Θεός θέλει να γνωρίζετε ποια είναι η πραγματική αλήθεια. Πριν από την άνοδο του Αντίχριστου. 🌐 Esperanto La tempo kiam ORTODOKSECO supervalos estas proksima Ni scias, ke ekzistas ne nur la naturaj leĝoj, sed ankaŭ spiritaj. Tial, la kolero de Dio ne povas esti forigita per kunlaboremaj pekuloj (kio nur duobligos la koleregon), sed per pentofaro kaj obeo al la ordonoj de la Sinjoro. Pastro-Aĝulo Sofronio de Monto Athos (1993) diris en Essex, Anglio, similesprime al Sanktulo Paisios: “La Unuiĝo de la Eklezioj estas malfacila, se ne neebla por ili. Tiuj, kiuj parolas pri la Unuiĝo de la Eklezioj, ne konas la pensmanieron de la heterodoksuloj aŭ la nivelon de Ortodokseco.” Sanktulo Paisios, bazite sur la supra scio, konsilas al ĉiuj esti pli moderaj, ĉar venos tempo kiam la Sinjoro prezentos Markon la Senmakulan kaj rapidajn manojn por kolekti ĉiujn niajn skandalitajn fratojn, por konfesi la Ortodoksan fidon, firme teni la tradicion kaj doni grandan ĝojon al nia Patrino. Esence la aĝulo profetas vere Ortodoksan Sinodon. Eble la 8-an Ekumenan Koncilion, pri kiu profetis Sankta Nilo la Mirovlitiso: Tiam, ĉe la oka kunveno, oni volos elekti la bonon el la malbono, tio estas Ortodoksecon, same kiel la farmisto elektas la tritikon el la ĉafo. Kaj tiam, kiam fariĝos paco, malbonaj homoj denove ŝanĝos la interkonsenton al sia malbono... Paco en la mondo ne povas veni sen pacfaranto, vivanta kaj nesubfosa instruo de Ortodokseco. Tamen, kvankam la diskonigo daŭris post la falo de la Urbo (Konstantinopolo) ĝis iu grado, ĝi devas atingi sian maksimumon kaj oficiale disvastiĝos dinamike post la 3-a Mondmilito, kiel menciis Sanktulo Kosmas el Etolio. Ĉi tio estos la periodo de ekbrilo de Ortodokseco, por mallonga tempo, ĉar poste homoj denove estos logataj en la malbonon. Ĉu vi kredas aŭ ne, estos ekbrilo de ortodokseco ĉirkaŭ la globo, Ĉar Dio volas, ke vi sciu kio estas la vera vero. Antaŭ la alveno de la Antikristo.

Ο Άγιος Παΐσιος και ο νεαρός που βοηθούσε ένα ορφανό — Η συγκλονιστική διήγηση για το έλεος της Παναγίας Η διήγηση στα ελληνικά Μια συγκινητική ιστορία που αποδίδεται σε συνάντηση με τον Άγιο Παΐσιο αναφέρεται σε έναν νεαρό άνδρα, ο οποίος είχε συνάψει σχέσεις με πολλές γυναίκες και αισθανόταν ντροπή να συναντήσει τον Άγιο και να του μιλήσει για τη ζωή του. Όταν βρέθηκε εκεί όπου περίμεναν και άλλοι άνθρωποι για να συναντήσουν τον Άγιο Παΐσιο, ο νεαρός επέλεξε να περιμένει μέχρι το τέλος. Δεν ήθελε να ακούσουν οι υπόλοιποι τη συζήτησή του με τον Γέροντα ούτε να μάθουν όσα τον απασχολούσαν. Όταν τελικά ήρθε η σειρά του, ο νεαρός βρέθηκε μπροστά στον Άγιο Παΐσιο, έχοντας μέσα του την αμηχανία και την αγωνία για το τι θα του έλεγε ο Γέροντας. Σύμφωνα με τη διήγηση, ο Άγιος Παΐσιος τού είπε: «Τι να σου πω; Η Παναγία δεν με αφήνει να σου πω κάτι που θα σε στενοχωρήσει, γιατί εσύ βοηθάς ένα ορφανό». Τα λόγια αυτά φανερώνουν το βαθύτερο μήνυμα της ιστορίας: ότι, πέρα από τις αδυναμίες και τα σφάλματα του ανθρώπου, η αγάπη, η φιλανθρωπία και η έμπρακτη βοήθεια προς έναν συνάνθρωπο που έχει ανάγκη έχουν μεγάλη πνευματική σημασία. Η διήγηση μάς καλεί να μην κρίνουμε τους ανθρώπους μόνο από τις αδυναμίες τους, αλλά να θυμόμαστε και τις πράξεις αγάπης που κάνουν, συχνά μακριά από τα βλέμματα των άλλων. Η ιστορία αποδίδεται στον Άγιο Παΐσιο και μεταφέρει ένα μήνυμα ελέους, ταπείνωσης και αγάπης προς τον συνάνθρωπο. Σημείωση για την πηγή της διήγησης Η διήγηση βασίζεται στη μαρτυρία του ίδιου προσώπου, το οποίο, σύμφωνα με τις πληροφορίες που συνοδεύουν την ιστορία, αφηγείται το περιστατικό εδώ και πολλά χρόνια. Η μακροχρόνια αυτή μαρτυρία αποτελεί τη βάση της παρούσας παρουσίασης. ⸻ Saint Paisios and the Young Man Who Helped an Orphan — A Moving Story About the Mercy of the Virgin Mary The Story in English A touching story attributed to a meeting with Saint Paisios tells of a young man who had been involved with many women and felt ashamed to meet the Elder and speak to him about his life. When he arrived at a place where other people were waiting to meet Saint Paisios, the young man chose to wait until everyone else had finished. He did not want the others to hear his conversation with the Elder or learn about the things that troubled him. When his turn finally came, the young man stood before Saint Paisios, feeling embarrassed and anxious about what the Elder might say to him. According to the account, Saint Paisios told him: “What can I tell you? The Panagia does not allow me to say anything that would upset you, because you help an orphan.” These words convey the deeper message of the story: beyond a person’s weaknesses and mistakes, love, charity, and practical help offered to someone in need have great spiritual significance. The account encourages us not to judge people solely by their shortcomings, but also to remember the acts of love they perform, often far from the eyes of others. The story is attributed to Saint Paisios and conveys a message of mercy, humility, and love for one’s fellow human beings. Note on the Source This account is based on the testimony of the same person who, according to the information accompanying the story, has been recounting the episode for many years. This longstanding testimony forms the basis of the present article.

Saint Paisios and the Young Man Who Helped an Orphan — A Moving Story About the Mercy of the Virgin Mary A story reminding us that God sees the human heart According to a story attributed to a meeting with Saint Paisios of Mount Athos, a young man had heard about the Elder and the way he counselled people who came to see him. Saint Paisios, as many accounts from pilgrims describe, would often offer each person a few meaningful words, according to their personal circumstances and spiritual needs. The young man, however, was hesitant. He knew that his lifestyle did not conform to Christian principles, as he had been involved with many women. He felt ashamed to stand before the Elder and feared that he might hear words that would embarrass him in front of others. Eventually, he decided to go. He waited until everyone else had left and approached Saint Paisios last, hoping that their conversation would take place without the other visitors hearing it. The Elder looked at him and, according to the account, said: “What am I supposed to tell you, my son? The Virgin Mary does not allow me to say anything that would hurt you, because you help an orphan.” The young man was reportedly taken by surprise. He had approached the Elder with shame and fear, perhaps expecting a stern reprimand. Instead, the conversation turned to an act of love he was performing for an orphan. The deeper spiritual message The meaning of this story is not that good deeds automatically erase our mistakes. Christian life calls every person to repentance, spiritual struggle, and a change of heart. Its message is that a person cannot be defined solely by their weaknesses. Someone may make mistakes while still possessing compassion, kindness, and a genuine concern for those in need. Helping an orphan, an abandoned person, or someone who has nobody to support them is a profound act of Christian love. Perhaps this is the most important lesson of the story: we do not know the full struggle or the hidden pain within another person’s soul. That is why we should avoid judging others and remember that repentance and mercy hold a central place in the Orthodox Christian faith. Love shown to the vulnerable is never a small thing in the eyes of God. Note: This article presents the episode as a story attributed to a meeting with Saint Paisios. Without a verified primary source, the precise wording and details of the encounter cannot be considered independently confirmed.

Do Not Trust Yourself Too Much Many have fallen when they thought they were standing firm. Do not boast about your faith. Do not say, “I am a good person.” Even if you fast, even if you pray, always beware of pride. For where pride exists, there can also come a fall. The arrogant person does not see the danger. The humble person, however, asks for God’s mercy at every step. The more you think that you are doing well spiritually, the more you should kneel down and say: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.” But how can you become humble if you do not first learn who you truly are? Saint Anthony leads us to a second great message: knowing ourselves. He knew that self-knowledge is the beginning of salvation. Whoever truly knows himself can also come to know God. Your greatest enemy is not another person. It is your own self: your thoughts, your passions, your self-love, and the pride hidden within your heart. As long as you do not know who you really are, you will think that you have no problem. But when you begin to see the condition of your heart, you will fall to your knees and cry out to God with all your strength. Self-knowledge is not merely psychology. It is a spiritual earthquake. It tears down the masks and brings you before God exactly as you are. And when you stand before Him with nothing hidden, with brokenness and repentance, you will need the most powerful weapon of all: humility. Saint Anthony knew that spiritual struggle is real. He faced temptations and demons without fear. They frightened him, tormented him and tried to overcome him. Yet he remained steadfast and said: “I am not afraid, because Christ is with me.” The devil cannot bear to see a truly humble person—someone who prays with a sincere heart and struggles with faith. Every time you humble yourself, every time you turn to God sincerely, you become stronger against temptation. But this battle is not without obstacles. The true Christian is tested—and not without reason. Do not despair when temptation comes. Temptation is not only suffering. It can also become an opportunity for your faith to be revealed. There you discover whether you truly love God. Christ did not promise that our lives would be without pain. He showed us the way of the Cross. When you are suffering, when you make mistakes, when you feel alone, your faith is tested and revealed. And in the midst of temptation, one thing can keep you standing: prayer, fasting and humility. Fasting is a spiritual weapon. It is not simply abstaining from food. It is a struggle against the old self within us. Fasting, vigil and prayer can become weapons in the spiritual battle. When you fast with prayer and humility, you are not fasting merely to deprive yourself. You are fasting in order to become free from the things that bind you. Saint Anthony had wealth, but he abandoned it and followed the path of the desert. He understood that possessing material things is not itself evil; the problem begins when you depend upon them and make them the center of your life. The person of God learns to give. And we can truly give when our hearts are no longer attached to material things. Do not forget the tears. Repentance is not a mechanical habit. It is the moment when the soul returns home—to God. Therefore, learn to pray. Learn to kneel. Learn to say sincerely: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.” And when you feel that you can go no further, do not rely on your own strength. Trust in God. For the humble person may fall, but does not despair. He rises, repents, and returns to Christ. This is the power of humility. This is the power of repentance. This is the power of prayer.

🔥 ΤΟ ΑΓΙΟ ΦΩΣ — THE HOLY FIRE — СВЯТОЙ СВЕТ 🇬🇷 ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ Το Άγιο Φως: Εκεί όπου η Πίστη συναντά το Μυστήριο Η ραγισμένη κολόνα στον Ναό της Αναστάσεως στα Ιεροσόλυμα δεν είναι, για την Ορθόδοξη παράδοση, απλώς μια πέτρα. Είναι ένα ιστορικό και πνευματικό σύμβολο που συνδέεται με την παράδοση του Αγίου Φωτός. Σύμφωνα με την παράδοση, όταν ο Ορθόδοξος Πατριάρχης δεν μπορούσε να εισέλθει στον Πανάγιο Τάφο για την τελετή του Αγίου Φωτός, το Φως εμφανίστηκε από τη ραγισμένη κολόνα. Ο Πατριάρχης έλαβε από εκεί το Άγιο Φως και οι πιστοί δοξολόγησαν τον Αναστάντα Χριστό. Η κολόνα παραμένει μέχρι σήμερα ως υπενθύμιση της πίστης και της βαθιάς πνευματικής σημασίας που έχει το Άγιο Φως για εκατομμύρια Ορθοδόξους Χριστιανούς σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο. Η Ορθοδοξία δεν είναι απλώς μια ιδεολογία. Είναι η συνέχεια της Αποστολικής Εκκλησίας, η πίστη των Αγίων Πατέρων και η εμπειρία της Αναστάσεως του Χριστού. 🔬 Πίστη και επιστημονική παρατήρηση Το Άγιο Φως έχει προσελκύσει τα τελευταία χρόνια και το ενδιαφέρον ανθρώπων που θέλησαν να παρατηρήσουν το φαινόμενο με επιστημονικά μέσα. Ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Gennady Zaridze έχει ασχοληθεί με την παρατήρηση των φυσικών χαρακτηριστικών της φλόγας κατά την τελετή του Αγίου Φωτός. Σύμφωνα με τις αναφορές της συγκεκριμένης έρευνας, έγιναν μετρήσεις της θερμοκρασίας της φλόγας σε διαφορετικές χρονικές στιγμές. Αναφέρεται ότι αμέσως μετά την εμφάνιση του Αγίου Φωτός η θερμοκρασία καταγράφηκε περίπου στους 40°C, ενώ περίπου δεκαπέντε λεπτά αργότερα η θερμοκρασία αυξήθηκε σε επίπεδα άνω των 300°C. Οι παρατηρήσεις αυτές δεν αποτελούν από μόνες τους ελεγχόμενο εργαστηριακό πείραμα. Ωστόσο, δημιουργούν ενδιαφέροντα ερωτήματα σχετικά με τις φυσικές ιδιότητες της φλόγας. Αναφέρονται επίσης μετρήσεις ηλεκτρομαγνητικής δραστηριότητας από τον ερευνητή Andrei Volkov του Ινστιτούτου Kurchatov. Η επιστήμη μπορεί να παρατηρεί και να μετρά. Η πίστη, όμως, αναζητά και το πνευματικό νόημα. Για τον Ορθόδοξο πιστό, το Άγιο Φως δεν είναι απλώς ένα φυσικό φαινόμενο. Είναι ένα ιερό σημείο που συνδέεται με την Ανάσταση του Χριστού και με την πνευματική ζωή της Εκκλησίας. Το Άγιο Φως βρίσκεται στο σημείο όπου η επιστημονική παρατήρηση συναντά το μυστήριο της πίστης. «Καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν.» Χριστός Ανέστη! Αληθώς Ανέστη! ⸻ 🇬🇧 ENGLISH The Holy Fire: Where Faith Meets Mystery The cracked column in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is not, according to Orthodox tradition, merely a stone. It is a historical and spiritual symbol associated with the tradition of the Holy Fire. According to tradition, when the Orthodox Patriarch was prevented from entering the Holy Tomb for the ceremony of the Holy Fire, the Light appeared from the cracked column. The Patriarch received the Holy Fire from that place, and the faithful glorified the Risen Christ. The column remains there today as a reminder of the faith and profound spiritual significance that the Holy Fire has for millions of Orthodox Christians throughout the world. Orthodoxy is not merely an ideology. It is the continuation of the Apostolic Church, the faith of the Holy Fathers, and the experience of Christ’s Resurrection. 🔬 Faith and Scientific Observation In recent years, the Holy Fire has also attracted the attention of people who have attempted to observe its physical characteristics using scientific instruments. Archbishop Gennady Zaridze has been associated with observations concerning the physical properties of the flame during the Holy Fire ceremony. According to reports concerning these observations, temperature measurements were taken at different moments during the ceremony. It has been reported that immediately after the appearance of the Holy Fire, the temperature was measured at approximately 40°C, while about fifteen minutes later it increased to levels above 300°C. These observations, by themselves, do not constitute a controlled laboratory experiment. Nevertheless, they raise interesting questions about the physical characteristics of the flame. There have also been reports of measurements of electromagnetic activity by researcher Andrei Volkov of the Kurchatov Institute. Science can observe and measure. Faith, however, also seeks the spiritual meaning behind what is observed. For the Orthodox believer, the Holy Fire is not merely a physical phenomenon. It is a sacred sign associated with the Resurrection of Christ and with the spiritual life of the Church. The Holy Fire stands at the point where scientific observation meets the mystery of faith. “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen! ⸻ 🇷🇺 РУССКИЙ Святой Свет: там, где вера встречается с тайной Расколотая колонна в Храме Воскресения Христова в Иерусалиме, согласно православному преданию, является не просто камнем. Это исторический и духовный символ, связанный с преданием о Святом Свете. Согласно преданию, когда православному Патриарху не позволили войти в Гроб Господень для совершения обряда схождения Святого Света, Свет появился из расколотой колонны. Патриарх получил Святой Свет именно оттуда, а верующие прославили Воскресшего Христа. Эта колонна и сегодня остаётся напоминанием о вере и о глубоком духовном значении Святого Света для миллионов православных христиан во всём мире. Православие — это не просто идеология. Это продолжение Апостольской Церкви, вера Святых Отцов и опыт Воскресения Христова. 🔬 Вера и научные наблюдения В последние годы Святой Свет привлёк внимание также людей, которые стремились исследовать физические свойства пламени с помощью научных инструментов. Архиепископ Геннадий Заридзе занимался наблюдением за физическими характеристиками пламени во время церемонии Святого Света. Согласно опубликованным сообщениям об этих наблюдениях, температура пламени измерялась в различные моменты церемонии. Сообщается, что сразу после появления Святого Света температура составляла приблизительно 40°C, а примерно через пятнадцать минут повышалась до уровня свыше 300°C. Сами по себе эти наблюдения не являются контролируемым лабораторным экспериментом. Однако они вызывают интересные вопросы о физических свойствах пламени. Также сообщалось об измерениях электромагнитной активности, проведённых исследователем Андреем Волковым из Института Курчатова. Наука может наблюдать и измерять. Вера же стремится понять и духовное значение происходящего. Для православного христианина Святой Свет — это не просто физическое явление. Это священный знак, связанный с Воскресением Христовым и духовной жизнью Церкви. Святой Свет находится там, где научное наблюдение встречается с тайной веры. «И свет во тьме светит, и тьма не объяла его.» Христос Воскресе! Воистину Воскресе! ⸻ 🔥 THE HOLY FIRE — THE LIGHT OF THE RESURRECTION Faith. Mystery. Tradition. Observation. Χριστός Ανέστη — Christ is Risen — Христос Воскресе!

ΟΛΟ ΚΑΙ ΠΕΡΙΣΣΟΤΕΡΟΙ ΣΤΡΕΦΟΝΤΑΙ ΣΤΙΣ ΠΡΟΦΗΤΕΙΕΣ ΤΩΝ ΑΓΙΩΝ ΤΗΣ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑΣ Τα τελευταία χρόνια, όλο και περισσότεροι άνθρωποι σε διάφορες χώρες δείχνουν ενδιαφέρον για τις προφητείες και τις πνευματικές μαρτυρίες των Αγίων και Γερόντων της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας. Μέσα σε έναν κόσμο γεμάτο πολέμους, ανασφάλεια, φόβο και μεγάλες αλλαγές, πολλοί άνθρωποι αναζητούν απαντήσεις στην πνευματική παράδοση της Ορθοδοξίας και μελετούν λόγους που αποδίδονται σε Αγίους και Γέροντες. Για τους πιστούς της Ορθοδοξίας, όμως, η αλήθεια της πίστης δεν στηρίζεται μόνο σε προφητείες ή σε προβλέψεις για το μέλλον. Η Ορθοδοξία καλεί τον άνθρωπο να γνωρίσει τον Χριστό, να μετανοήσει, να αγαπήσει τον Θεό και τον συνάνθρωπό του και να αγωνιστεί για τη σωτηρία της ψυχής του. Οι αυθεντικές προφητείες, όπου είναι γνήσιες και εκκλησιαστικά αποδεκτές, δεν αποτελούν «μαντεία». Η πνευματική τους αξία βρίσκεται κυρίως στην προειδοποίηση, στη μετάνοια και στην πνευματική προετοιμασία του ανθρώπου. Και ίσως αυτός είναι ένας από τους λόγους για τους οποίους, σε μια εποχή μεγάλης αβεβαιότητας, πολλοί άνθρωποι στρέφονται ξανά προς την πνευματική παράδοση της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας. «Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς χθὲς καὶ σήμερον ὁ αὐτός, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.» — Προς Εβραίους 13:8 ⸻ MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE TURNING TO THE PROPHECIES OF THE ORTHODOX SAINTS In recent years, more and more people in different countries have shown interest in the prophecies and spiritual testimonies of the Saints and Elders of the Orthodox Church. In a world filled with wars, uncertainty, fear, and great changes, many people are searching for answers in the spiritual tradition of Orthodoxy and are studying words attributed to Saints and Elders. For Orthodox Christians, however, the truth of the faith does not rest only on prophecies or predictions about the future. Orthodoxy calls every person to know Christ, to repent, to love God and their fellow human beings, and to struggle for the salvation of the soul. Authentic prophecies, where they are genuine and recognized within the Church, are not fortune-telling. Their spiritual purpose is primarily to warn, call people to repentance, and prepare them spiritually. And perhaps this is one of the reasons why, in an age of great uncertainty, many people are once again turning toward the spiritual tradition of the Orthodox Church. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” — Hebrews 13:8

Η ερώτησή σας θέτει έναν πολύ ουσιαστικό προβληματισμό γύρω από τη σύγχρονη βιομηχανία της ψυχαγωγίας και το περιεχόμενο που καταναλώνει το ευρύ κοινό. Αν αναλογιστούμε τι προωθείται και τι πλασάρεται μέσα από τα μεγάλα θεάματα και τα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης σήμερα, ξεχωρίζουν ορισμένα βασικά στοιχεία: * Η Εικόνα ως Υποκατάστατο της Πραγματικότητας: Όπως αποτυπώνεται και στο γράφημα, η γιγαντοθόνη και το ψηφιακό είδωλο (AI) συχνά αντικαθιστούν τη φυσική παρουσία. Προωθείται η λατρεία της εικόνας, όπου το θεαματικό υπερισχύει του ουσιαστικού. * Ο Συγχρονισμός και η Μαζοποίηση: Μέσα από τεχνολογικά μέσα (όπως τα συντονισμένα βραχιολάκια LED ή τα μαζικά trends), καλλιεργείται η αίσθηση του συλλογικού βιώματος. Αυτό από τη μία προσφέρει ψυχαγωγία, αλλά από την άλλη μπορεί να οδηγήσει στην απώλεια της ατομικότητας και στον πλήρη έλεγχο της προσοχής του πλήθους. * Η Χρήση του Σκοτεινού και του Δραματικού Συμβολισμού: Η σύγχρονη ποπ κουλτούρα δανείζεται συχνά σκοτεινή αισθητική, μυστικιστικά σύμβολα και εσχατολογικά μοτίβα (αίμα, πτώση, θυσία). Αυτό γίνεται είτε για λόγους εντυπωσιασμού και εμπορικού σοκ (shock value), είτε επειδή αυτά τα θέματα προκαλούν έντονη συναισθηματική αντίδραση και κρατούν το ενδιαφέρον του κοινού καθηλωμένο. * Η Εμπορευματοποίηση του Συναισθήματος: Αυτό που τελικά «πωλείται» δεν είναι απλώς μια συναυλία ή ένα τραγούδι, αλλά μια εμπειρία ταύτισης. Ο θεατής καλείται να γίνει μέρος ενός "τελετουργικού" θεάματος, όπου η τεχνολογία και η μουσική λειτουργούν ως μέσο καθοδήγησης της προσοχής. Το αν πίσω από αυτά κρύβεται ένα οργανωμένο σχέδιο ή απλώς η αδίστακτη λογική του μάρκετινγκ και της εμπορευματοποίησης της τέχνης, είναι το σημείο όπου οι απόψεις διίστανται — με άλλους να βλέπουν απλή ψυχαγωγία και άλλους να διακρίνουν βαθύτερους μηχανισμούς κοινωνικού ελέγχου.

What About Our Imagination? What about our imagination? I have noticed that we often treat certain images and visions as though they were photographs — as if what a person sees must necessarily correspond exactly to an objective reality. But is that really the case? If we look at how human beings’ ability to imagine, depict, and visually represent things has changed throughout history, we should ask an important question: How do we know that what we see today is exactly what people in the past saw? And how do we know that we are not sometimes interpreting an image through things that have already been deeply imprinted on our minds — through the media, movies, books, paintings, religious imagery, science-fiction stories, and popular culture? A person may see something mysterious and genuinely believe that the experience was real. But the interpretation of that experience may still be influenced by everything that person has previously seen and learned. This is especially important when discussing alleged encounters with extraterrestrial beings. One striking observation is that these supposed beings never confirm the divinity of Christ, nor do they claim to come in His name. Instead, the stories attributed to them often change according to the knowledge and expectations of the people encountering them. Consider the claims made about where these beings supposedly come from. In earlier periods, when human knowledge of the planets and the universe was far more limited, alleged entities could supposedly claim to come from planets within our own solar system. But as astronomy advanced and humanity learned more about those worlds, many of those explanations became impossible or implausible. The stories then evolved: the beings were said to come from distant solar systems, other galaxies, or places such as Andromeda. This raises a serious question: Are we actually receiving information from an external intelligence — or are we sometimes interpreting unexplained experiences through whatever ideas are already available in our minds? From an Orthodox Christian perspective, there is another question that should not be ignored: What is the spiritual source of the experience, and where does it ultimately lead the person? Not every extraordinary vision should automatically be accepted as divine revelation. Christianity has always warned about spiritual deception and about trusting every supernatural-looking experience without discernment. The appearance of something mysterious is not, by itself, proof of its origin. We should therefore remain cautious, examine the evidence, and — above all — remember that not everything that appears supernatural is necessarily from God.

Ορίστε η μετάφραση του διαλόγου του βίντεο στα αγγλικά: * Δημοσιογράφος / Παρουσιάστρια: "Now we also see the flashes of lightning, right? And people from Kozani are asking again about what you said earlier, about the difference with which a person can see..." * Ομιλητής / Ιερέας: "Look, look! Now these flashes of lightning are a harbinger of the Holy Light." * Δημοσιογράφος: "Yes." * Ομιλητής: "Now we are very close..." * Δημοσιογράφος: "...that appear with a certain frequency, so that people can understand." * Ομιλητής: "I would ask the director to give us a little sound, to be authentic... To give us the authentic sound of the video, so we can hear the cheering of the crowd. Yes! As soon as they see the Holy Light. It is already getting stronger..." * Ομιλητής: "Everyone is waiting for the Holy Light to come out. Not the Patriarch, for the Holy Light to come out! The Patriarch is inside the Edicule (Kouvouklion) right now, where no one can see." * Δημοσιογράφος: "A few seconds..." * Δημοσιογράφος: "First, it comes out of the two doors..." * Ομιλητής: "First, the Holy Light comes out. Yes, of course, of course, of course! The Holy Light comes out on its own, you can't ask anyone. It knows when it will come out, to the exact second." * Δημοσιογράφος: "Does the time ever change? No." * Ομιλητής: "Of course, it changes... yes, minutes, half an hour it can stay inside." * Ομιλητής: "Do you hear what is happening?" * Δημοσιογράφος: "Yes." * Ομιλητής: "Do you see what is happening?" * Ομιλητής: "The people are celebrating! Some are shouting, others are crying, others... we are talking about overwhelming moments!" * Δημοσιογράφος: "It is dark inside the Church of the Resurrection in the meantime..." * Ομιλητής: "It is dark, yes. But now look, you will see from the left a glowing sphere passing over the heads of the people! Look, at this moment, do you see it?" * Δημοσιογράφος: "Yes. Horizontally." * Ομιλητής: "Of course! Horizontally... to the right. And another sphere which has... well, I captured only its tail, top left, you will see it... Do you see it? Top left..." * Δημοσιογράφος: "Yes, yes, moving upwards." * Ομιλητής: "Even the camera was mine in '94, I didn't see this in any other video. It was the video that I had, I recorded it, and it captured it without me knowing it." * Δημοσιογράφος: "I confess that for so many years I've been waiting to see a more significant video, at least on television channels..." * Ομιλητής: "But look at the flashes, the ones that continue to be the Holy Light, it's not..." * Δημοσιογράφος: "And for how long does it continue like this, to appear all this?" * Ομιλητής: "It's a few minutes, 5-10 minutes. Look at the following now: on the left..." * Ομιλητής: "The Patriarch hasn't come out yet, now he is coming out." * Δημοσιογράφος: "Yes." * Ομιλητής: "In the meantime, I think there is a whole fire from the... from the flame that surrounds him. The flame surrounding the Patriarch is so big." * Ομιλητής: "So, you will see a shot now on the left, everyone in the crowd has lit their candles! On the left, all of them!" * Δημοσιογράφος: "These, you said, light up on their own." * Ομιλητής: "Exactly! Before the Patriarch even comes out!" * Δημοσιογράφος: "Who..." * Ομιλητής: "Do you see it? Do you see it?" * Δημοσιογράφος: "Yes." * Ομιλητής: "All the candles on the left are lit. And the Patriarch hasn't come out yet!" * Δημοσιογράφος: "The people who have very deep faith, as you told me the other time..." * Ομιλητής: "That's not absolute, we don't know that. However..." * Ομιλητής: "...because many people's candles lit on their own, everyone on the left already has the Holy Light!" * Δημοσιογράφος: "Mhm." * Ομιλητής: "The Patriarch is coming out now from the Holy Sepulchre." * Ομιλητής: "That is, we are talking about overwhelming moments. You know, if someone hasn't lived this... They might have doubts or questions about this. When I went down to the Holy Sepulchre back in '94, I didn't believe that the Light existed." * Ομιλητής: "That's what I wrote on the internet in a description I made. That's precisely why I took a camera with me." * Δημοσιογράφος: "Yes." * Ομιλητής: "I said, 'I will demystify the Holy Light. Whatever is down there, I will show it.' I would say, 'Look, there's nothing, just darkness.'" * Δημοσιογράφος: "At that time, you were a regular doctor?" * Ομιλητής: "Yes, I was a child psychiatrist and working as..." * Δημοσιογράφος: "You were working as a psychiatrist." * Ομιλητής: "Yes, I was working as a child psychiatrist. I had not become a clergyman yet." * Δημοσιογράφος: "Yes, I know." * Ομιλητής: "And when I actually saw this thing, of course, I was shocked as well. These are overwhelming moments. And naturally, you know, I had the camera on my shoulder, but we weren't looking through the camera." * Ομιλητής: "I didn't want to miss such a spectacle, meaning watching through a small hole... not knowing what I'm looking at, instead of watching with my own two eyes exactly what was happening over there." * Ομιλητής: "And indeed, I saw with my own eyes a glowing sphere coming out from the left of the Holy Sepulchre. And by the time I turned the camera, of course, I didn't catch it. However, the camera had already caught on its own the sphere going towards the right of the Holy Sepulchre, without me knowing it." * Δημοσιογράφος: "We are watching again now at a slower pace the things you described..." * Ομιλητής: "Yes, it's worth seeing it, so one can see..." * Δημοσιογράφος: "But I want at the same time to present the negative side, and in fact the details were given to me by the theologian, Mr. Nikos Zacharopoulos, from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki..." * Ομιλητής: "Look at the flashes! If only he could rewind and show us this cloud, really..." * Δημοσιογράφος: "Because the cloud appears..." * Ομιλητής: "Yes, it is a cloud. Of course, we see the flashes... okay, later, later. Now let's see the glowing sphere which is truly unique, I would say. This is a unique document, truly... How much God blessed me..." * Ομιλητής: "Do you see the glowing sphere coming out? It starts passing above people's heads, right among the crowd." * Ομιλητής: "It grazes the heads of the people. It passes through the crowd. At this moment, the camera loses focus because it was blinding..." * Δημοσιογράφος: "We should mention that it is not burning, right? It doesn't burn..." * Ομιλητής: "Yes! Look, and..." * Δημοσιογράφος: "Because people might wonder how it passes over heads without burning them." * Ομιλητής: "Without burning anyone! And not only without burning anyone, Mrs. Marni, no one even noticed it! I was able to confirm this later because there were people from our group from Thessaloniki sitting right opposite at that spot, and I asked them, 'Did you see it?' and they said, 'No, we didn't see anything.'" * Ομιλητής: "Meaning, it is a multiple miracle. It's not a simple... it's a multiple miracle happening. It's not a trick. If we wanted today as a crew to reproduce it, we couldn't."

And a great day will come, when the earth will shake to its foundations. Athens will shake like a reed in the wind; houses will fall, roads will tear like cloth, and the voice of the state will fall silent behind ruins and panic. And while people will be looking for water, medicine, and hope, smoke will rise from the East. With the thought that "now is the time", they will come — not with swords, but with lies and maps. And the waters of the Aegean will no longer be calm. Yet from the ashes, they say, the voice of the people will rise again; and just where it seemed that everything was over, something that no one expected will begin

Greek (Ελληνικά) «Δεν είναι κρίμα να χάσεις την αιωνιότητα για 5 λεπτά; Τόσο χρόνο χρειάζεται μια καλή εξομολόγηση.» — Γέροντας Εφραίμ της Αριζόνας English "Isn’t it a pity to lose eternity for 5 minutes? That’s how long a good confession takes." — Elder Ephraim of Arizona Russian (Русский) «Разве не обидно потерять вечность из-за 5 минут? Именно столько времени занимает хорошая исповедь.» — Старец Ефрем Аризонский Arabic (العربية) "أليس من المؤسف أن تخسر الأبدية من أجل ٥ دقائق؟ هذا هو الوقت الذي تستغرقه الاعتراف الصالح." — الأب إفرايم الأريزوني Spanish (Español) "¿No es una lástima perder la eternidad por 5 minutos? Eso es lo que dura una buena confesión." — Anciano Efraín de Arizona

What I am going to tell you concerns a prediction about the future, according to people who claim to have seen or predicted these events. This is not my own prediction, nor am I claiming that these events will actually happen. According to this view, when Turkey is destroyed during the Third World War, the Cyprus problem will also be resolved. It is also claimed that the people on the other side of Cyprus will then ask for a piece of the island so that they can function and organize their lives. My personal opinion is that, if we actually reach such a situation, we should give them a piece of land, because I believe there would be no other way and that a solution must be found that will allow all the people of Cyprus to live in safety and peace.

Δεν λέω ότι ξέρεις ήδη την απάντηση. Αλλά αν δεν υπάρχει Θεός, τότε μένουν κάποια ερωτήματα που πρέπει να σταθούν μόνα τους. Πώς προέκυψε ένα σύμπαν με νόμους που δεν αλλάζουν; Γιατί η ύλη υπακούει σε μαθηματική τάξη; Πώς από απλή ύλη εμφανίζεται συνείδηση — η εμπειρία του “εγώ”; Και γιατί ο άνθρωπος δεν ψάχνει μόνο το “πώς”, αλλά και το “γιατί”; Δεν λέω ότι η απάντηση είναι εύκολη. Λέω όμως ότι η ερώτηση δεν εξαφανίζεται. Και ίσως τελικά, το ζήτημα δεν είναι ποιος “πιστεύει”. Αλλά ποιος αντέχει να δει ότι δεν έχουν εξηγηθεί όλα. — I’m not saying you already have the answer. But if there is no God, then some questions still remain. How did a universe governed by consistent laws come into existence? Why does matter follow mathematical order? How does mere matter give rise to consciousness — the experience of “I”? And why does human thought search not only for “how”, but for “why”? I’m not claiming the answer is easy. I’m saying the question doesn’t go away. And maybe the issue is not who “believes”. But who is willing to admit that not everything is explained.

We welcome Cyprus father Damaskinos, He is a monk and missionary in Africa, we welcome you and we would like to listen from you some of your experiences in Africa. Thank you first of all I would like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to be here in Cyprus, the land of holy people. The relationship with the people there AS FAR AS IT CONCERNS MAGIC IS catastrophic. There is no love between people. ONE TIME I ASKED SOMEONE, who he was having a piece little wooden man, a ask him why do you have this on you? He answers to me...with this, I protect myself and my family. From the magic of other people..and he puts all his faith in this piece of wooden man. down there when we do baptize people, we explain to them to take off this magic thing from them. One of them wasn't persuaded to take it off. As much as we try to put him in water to baptize him an ability to get into the water, one invisible demonic force was pushing him out. finally was baptized, but he wasn't really. when he was in church for holy to receive divine communion...he felt down having convulsions-epilepsy. we explain to him the reasons why..but he didn't want to listen, and he died without confession to the truth. One day I was with a priest down there and we see a naked girl. The priest says to me this girl is a magician, she came from another village far away. I ask...how she came here from such a distance? I ask? you don't know says the priest to me. she came flying into the air.in order to succeed, he grabbed a small child and tore his heart, and drink the blood. In this way, the devils hold the magicians in the air and they fly. one time was Father James down there in Africa and he asked one magician. how do you hurt people? look the magician says I touch them and I cause them problems, do the same to me says Father James to the magician. the magician replied I can't touch you...you the orthodox priest are full of fire. one other time a devil-possessed man went to a catholic priest to expel the demon from him. And the demon from inside of man says to the catholic priest. you eh cappuccino do you think I can hear you? this we can see that Catholics do not have at all grace. now I will tell you another story.3 ex-magicians went and got baptized without confessing their sins first. the devils said to them. we don't care what you did, but don't mention it to father Meletios. these 3 men before getting baptized had killed a woman with 2 children. someone thought saw this and found some others and went to kill this ex-magician. now this ex-magician did a deal with the devils, in case someone kills me I want you to reveal to my family those who would kill me. They took him to bury him. An invisible force didn't allow the coffin to be buried. The coffin was taking the men who were holding in other direction, Going to the house of the people that have killed the ex-magician to reveal who killed him. At the funeral everyone was scared. They didn't know what to do. The dead man started breathing from the coffin, and the son of the dead man started talking to his father believing that his father was alive, but he wasn't really. after revealing the murderers and everybody was scared his son comes to me asking for help. I took on another priest to bury him. everyone who was there was really scared, and all of them believed after they saw what we did, how we pray the orthodox way to rest and bury the man. They were very scared and believed that we had more demonic powers than them

In Revelation, St. John the Theologian sees the war of the 200 million cavalries, which kills a third of the people, take place. Evil affects souls and bodies (like a motorized army). (Rev. 9:16). After this war, the 2nd Presence of the Lord does not take place, because John manages to tell us that people did not repent, that is, life was extended to humanity, but few took advantage of it to be saved. Father Athanasios Mytilineos also explains this. With a miraculous intervention of God, the evil spirits (who led the people into war) are bound to pacify the earth and to spread the Gospel unadulterated throughout the world, as Revelation writes in chapter 10: 10-1 And I saw another angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon his head, and his face like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire, 10-2 and has a book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left on the earth ... This powerful Angel helps the unstable (like the sea) unbelievers with more power, symbolically using his right foot and with less power (indicated by the left) those (who like the earth) are more stable in faith. 10-5 And the angel, which I saw standing on the sea and on the earth, raised his right hand to heaven 10-6 and swore to Him who lives in the ages to come, who built the heavens and all that exists. in him, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, that time no longer exists. That is, there will be no further extension for repentance. The Son is the most trustworthy to swear by the Father because, as we say in the Creed, through Him "all things were made" (by which all things were made), and space and time. And because even the angels in Heaven do not know the day of the Second Coming, as the Lord declared: "And of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Matt. (24:36). Revelation: 10-11 And they say unto me, (The holy angels which were with the mighty angel). You must again prophesy to peoples and nations and languages and to many kings. Therefore, John, the great Theologian of the Church, assumes the responsibility of the dogmatically unadulterated preaching of the word of God throughout the world in the peaceful period after the War. For, according to the word of the Lord to Peter, John abideth in the earth until the second coming: it follows me ". (John 21:22). That is, if I want him (John) to stay until I come, what do you care? You follow Me; The two prophets Elijah and Enoch are physically present on earth because they did not die, and they will obviously control the Antichrist. John, who also appears in the hagiography, after his metastasis (which the Church celebrates on September 26) is spiritually present and thus will not be killed by the Antichrist, like the two prophets. Because there is not much time left until the Synteleia after the catastrophic war, John's sermon will be very short, as indicated by the "booklet", ie a very small book that symbolically contains it and was given to him by the "Powerful Angel". Definitely, then, the Gospel will be preached again, and in fact unadulterated by ecumenical and other delusions, and this is guaranteed by the Theologian John, who was called to his new mission with the words: "You must prophesy again" ... For our time, before the world war, says Saint Paisios: Now it will be a downpour, a small possession of the antichrist Satan. He will then eat a cuff from Christ, all nations will be shaken and peace will come to the world for many years. This time Christ will give an opportunity to save His creature. Will Christ leave His creature? He will appear at the impasse of the people, to save them from the hands of the (then) antichrist. They will return to Christ and spiritual peace will come throughout the universe for many years. Some associate with this intervention of Christ the Second Coming. I can not say. My reasoning tells me that it will not be the Second Coming of Christ when He comes as Judge, but an intervention of Christ, because there are so many events that have not yet taken place. Christ will intervene, give a cuff to this whole system, crush all evil, and bring it to good in the end. The streets will be filled with shrines. Outside the buses will have pictures. All people will believe. They will pull you to tell them about Christ! Thus the Gospel will be preached throughout the Universe and then (when this period is completed) Christ will come as Judge to judge the world. Another Crisis, another intervention of Christ, to help His creature! (REASONS II "Spiritual Awakening")

I am really happy tonight because in the studio of Bergina tv, I have with me the Metropolitan of Morphou, Mr. Neofytos. Good evening, your Eminence, welcome! [Morphou] Good evening, Natasa. Thank you. [Natasa] I feel a special joy. [Morphou] You should indeed. [Natasa] I tried very hard to get this interview. I wanted it a lot. [Morphou] Others tried for it as well. [Natasa] The truth is that every time I [have a discussion] with you, I enjoy it a lot. [Natasa] You did not campaign for the election of the new Archbishop as other hierarch-candidates did and gave interviews. Yet, you said yes to me. I will come and discuss with you. Why did you choose this? [Morphou] Why did I choose to come on your show? [Natasa] Yes, why? [Morphou] It’s an interesting question which is of interest to many people and also to many reporters. The reasons are basically three. The first reason is because I had promised it a long time ago and I learned from my father to honor my word. I remember that I gave you the promise when the late Archbishop had not fallen asleep yet. He was sick. Furthermore, I, myself, had not taken the decision whether or not I would be a candidate. I was considering whether or not to be a candidate [for the position of the Archbishop of Cyprus]. I remember us talking on the phone and I remember telling you that I will come on your show if I am indeed a candidate. After a lot of prayer and counselling from some people of God, and not communication experts, we decided we will not give any interviews to reporters. These people of God told me to evade as much as possible the people who are hostile against the church and [those] who, with their positions, represent the New World Order. Find reporters who have an objectivity. [This is] not to say that they need to be friendly to me. Thank God, I think I have the skills and abilities to deal with all reporters. [Natasa] We have witnessed it. [Morphou] Indeed. It’s not out of fear [that I evade reporters]. So, I had to find reporters who are not part of a European, New World Order, New Age system. Whoever knows what New World Order and New Age stand for realizes what I am talking about. So, one reason was because I promised it. The second reason is because many people want to vote for me or work for my candidacy for this historic throne of Apostle Barnabas. Probably, one of the most historic of the whole world, not just Orthodoxy, and the most ancient autocephalous [church] of the whole world and guaranteed by two Ecumenical Councils. At an age when poor Ukraine is still looking for [its own] autocephalous [church]. [Natasa] We will come to that. [Morphou] And instead of an autocephalous, we have a “ponocephalos” [Greek for headache] and “cacocephalos” [bad-head]. So many people told me, “Since you are communicative and you are not afraid of even hostile reporters, why do not you go [on the air]?" Because I am being obedient to the people of God who counsel us. So, I took into account those who work for my candidacy and would like to see me on, at least, one or two shows. That’s why I am on your show tonight and I will be on the radio show of the journal “Politis” on Saturday afternoon. “By the prayers of our holy fathers.” [Natasa] And it’s over. [Morphou] The third reason is you. [Natasa] I am moved! [Morphou] We have personal favorites. [Natasa] I want you to tell us, first of all, why you decided to be a candidate for the Archbishopric throne. [Morphou] It was not me who decided, my dear daughter. [Natasa] Others made the decision for you? [Morphou] Others decided and I did obedience to them. This is given in a historic speech we made in Akaki, the latest “Lighter of the Saints” homily [22/11/2022]. Every month we have a meeting with people who come from the whole of Cyprus, from Paphos to Kokkinoxwria. It’s been 2, 3 years now [that we have been doing that]. They ask questions, either theological or on contemporary issues which concern the faithful Orthodox of Cyprus or even the men of lesser faith. People who disagree with me come and ask questions. In this way, a communication with the people of Cyprus takes place. [Natasa] And a constructive dialogue. [Morphou] Both I and they benefit from it. Other people also take answers. The most well-known, Christodoulos Protopapas, the “guru” of the Internet in Cyprus and satellite technology told me, “Since the things you discuss with your partners are so interesting, why not show them [online]?” “This way people from other regions of Cyprus, from other countries [can also listen to them].” As a result, we record these meetings. Afterwards, one, namely Petros Lazarou, the director of the Cultural Foundation of the Metropolis, takes out “the thorns” that, occasionally, come out of my mouth. Because, as it seems, I come from a generation of roses, not a cactus, as some say! But [my speech] is a rose that occasionally has some thorns. [Natasa] You do not embellish your speech. It’s straightforward, to make it more accessible to the fellow man. [Morphou] A colleague of yours said, “You are very poetic.” I told her, “You discovered half of Neophytos.” [Natasa] You are indeed poetic in your words. [Morphou] But the other half is thorny. In that last meeting at Akaki, I analyzed the reasons [for running as a candidate]. The basic reason is that I represent a portion of the faithful both in Cyprus but also in other countries of Orthodoxy who watch our speeches through the [Youtube] channels. Then came the Serbs, the Bulgarians, the Romanians [viewers] ... [Natasa] I have taken notice of it. There are thousands of people who want to listen to you. [Morphou] The Americans, the Australians. Even non-orthodox people. They [the speeches] are translated into English, Russian and so on. All these people have shared opinions [with me] on various issues that concern Orthodoxy and the global events and [even] geostrategy. You realize that all these people “fell” on me when they heard that the Archbishop, the late Chrsostomos II, “is leaving.” “You need to be a candidate.” “I am not getting elected,” I told them. “There are others who have been campaigning since their birth.” [Natasa] Isn't this thinking humanly: I am not getting elected [because others have been campaigning longer]? [Morphou] [It’s natural] to think as a man, “as men wearing flesh and inhabiting this world” [from the Service of Confession]. And the bishop should indeed think as a man, but not only as a man. If he only thinks as a man, then it’s a fault that he became a bishop, a priest or a monk. I am a man who believes in the perfect God and the perfect man, Jesus Christ, the victor over death, the devil and my sin. Thus, I see the human [affairs] and I study the theological ones, right? [I see] the theological ones mostly through these holy men and women that I met in the past and the ones who still exist today. There have always been saintly people [meaning in all ages]. The good thing with me is that the providence of God still keeps my eyes open so I can identify sainthood. [Natasa] The world needs this, your Eminence, because we have seen people react against things you have said. [This can happen] when they enter into a discussion, because the first meeting with the divine might be scary to someone, that is, to get into the process of knowing what the Orthodox faith stands for. [Morphou] Excuse me. What you said is found in prophet David, my favorite from the Old Testament. Prophet Moses and Prophet David. He says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” [Psalm 110] Thus, the ones who want to believe, let them not be afraid. Think what our God, Christ, the perfect God and the perfect man said, “Why do you ask me what is fornication and what is sin?” [Matthew 5:27-28] “To simply take a look in a sinful way, you have committed fornication, adultery.” The mere look. And the Hebrews, frightened, terrified, ask him, “Who then can be saved?” [Luke 18:26] If a mere look is [considered] a sin, how are we to be saved? How are we to be forgiven? What does He answer them? And this is something we forget. “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” [Luke 18:27] As if He is telling them, “Ask Me to forgive you, repent and I will help you. Again, you will look, again you will sin, but I am here always.” On top of that, a disciple asks Him, “My Lord how many times can this happen?” “If I do this [sin] seven times, are you to forgive me seven times?” What does He answer him? “Not just seven, my child. Seventy seven.” [Mathew 18:22] And seventy seven means an infinite [number of times]. [Natasa] I want us to get to know Metropolitan of Morphou, today. [Morphou] You have already met him with what we said. [Natasa] I want us to go back to his childhood years, [his] village, Ano Zodia. [Morphou] The Gospel of Matthew, “Abraham begot Isaac, ...” [Natasa] You were born in 1962 ... [Morphou] On the 21st of January, for those who study the zodiac signs. I do not. [Natasa] Nicholas [your father] and Milia [your mother]. What do you remember of those years? How were you as a child? [Morphou] By “child” up until what age are we talking about? 7 or 10 years old? Let’s say until 1974 [the year of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus]. I was 12 years old and it was “the years of Paradise in Zodia.” This is how I call them. Afterwards, we became refugees. [Natasa] Let’s see some photos from your childhood. [Morphou] This is as a little refugee. I was hurt a lot. As a matter of fact, the coat I am wearing is a used one [destined for refugees]. [Natasa] How old are you in the picture? [Morphou] I am exactly 12 years old. We went to [refugees’] care and there were a lot of [used] clothes to collect from. Everything I am wearing in the picture belongs to the Greek brothers who sent us their used clothes as help. Whenever I see this coat and this look, I think “Omyros [his name before he was tonsured], the little refugee.” This is in my teenage years, with St. Milia [his mother] with this look that sees beyond the visible. Milia could see the invisible too -- Saints, demons. She could see the good and the bad in people as soon as they stepped into [our] house. [Natasa] You have inherited [this] from her. [Morphou] The other one, next to her, is my sister, the late Stella. My mother told me prophetically, “After I die count one year, bishop, Stella is going to leave.” In a year my sister slept [died] suddenly. Behind Stella, it’s my fourth brother, Theocharis, who lives in Larnaka. He loves me too much. I told him once, “My brother, love me less, because your love is drowning me.” Here, this photo was taken in 1979. I am a graduate of the second high school of Acropolis. [Natasa] You were president, right? [Morphou] Yes, first I was president of the class and then of the whole school. Here, we go back again. “The years of Paradise in Zodia” at elementary school with Mr. Euripides Gavriilidis, the principal, and a teacher that taught me a lot and was a relative of my mother, Mr. Skordis. It is him who spoke prophetically of my late brother, Petros, who was killed in the war. He was our third brother. I have two paternal half-brothers, [both of them], in the heavens now. Andreas and Michalis. Thanks to our mother, all of us were one, really beloved family. Why? Because Milia did not separate between the children of her womb and “the dogs of Nicolas” [i.e., the half-brothers]. No! She used to say, “The children of my heart, the two orphans, Andreas and Michalis, and the [four] children that God sent me.” This photograph is the oldest of all. On the left is little Omyros. Apart from my aunt Androula on the right and Panayiotis, all the others in the photo have fallen asleep. This is a family table in Zodia where the family of Masouridon, meaning from the side of my father, were amazing at having fun and they were great speakers and singers. They spoke and sang really well. In this photo, we are graduates of the high school of Acropolis along with my good professors. I am the second [from the left] in this photo. They put me on the back because I was really tall. [Natasa] As a small child, due to your mother and your grandmother, you had the chance to enter the Church and meet Christ … [Morphou] My father was a faithful man as well. [Natasa] Yes, but mostly your mother and grandmother. [Morphou] My father fell asleep when I was 8 years old. Thus, most of the experiences are from my mother. Let the divorced Cypriot women and the widows listen to this, so that we make something out of our discussion. How is a boy “completed” if the father leaves either through divorce or death? When the mother presents to the boy his father as a perfect man. When the mother presents to the child his father as a perfect man. Did you listen to this? Even if he was not one. It goes without question that he would have had some weakness. The boy receives his manhood through the eyes of the mother. It’s the mirror. If you fail in this pedagogy, then good luck finding the man [in the boy]. Whatever that means. [Natasa] If we compare your life in Zodia with your life in the [refugee] neighborhoods. I have noticed one thing. Up to 12 years old you were inside the church and in the playground enjoying life with your friends as a child. But the uprooting [due to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974] and the following [experience] of a refugee… [Morphou] And the fact that I lost my brother to a car accident when he was 24 years old, as well as the fact that I was an orphan before that. Three things. [Natasa] Did these things make you grow abruptly and intensified your ideological and other personal searches [in life]? [Morphou] I think that every teenager is entitled to this. The teenagers these days carry out this personal search on the web. In this picture, I am a graduate of law school, on the left with the moustache. It was a search for Omyros to socialize. I was always looking for the best in my life. I came to realize that the best people were to be found in the Left Political Party [«ΕΔΟΝ» in Greek]. So, I joined them without my family being leftists. They were close to the center, but always politicized. The generation of Milia, my mother, had this [politicized] DNA. It’s the generation of Takis Hatzidimitriou, Loukis Akritas, both of them first cousins of my mother. Of Elena Akrita, the terrific journalist in Greece, who speaks up about everything. Many times, I see myself in Elena. [In this photo] is a saintly woman. [Natasa] Two of them! [Morphou] Two of them! Well done, Natasa. [Natasa] See … [Morphou] It’s my grandmother Myrofora [on the left and his mother, Milia, on the right]. Do you know what a man possessed by a demon told me the other day? “You pretend to be someone and you pretend to be strong. If it was not for the three of them, we would have finished you …” The demon was speaking through the possessed man. So, I ask him, “Which three?” “The pickled herring [i.e., skinny].” He meant Saint Iakovos Tsalikis who was my spiritual father in Athens. “And the two others -- your mother, Milia, and the old woman [meaning his grandmother, Myrofora].” He did not even dare say her name. “You have these two, now in Paradise, praying on their knees for you and for the whole church of Cyprus.” “And the pickled herring [St. Iakovos Tsalikis] going up and down. That’s why we cannot touch you.” Here he is, in the middle [of the photo]. The demon called him “pickled herring” because he was really, really skinny. He is wearing a sweater in the photo and you cannot see how skinny he really was. On the right, it’s me exactly when I became a monk. I met St. Iakovos in 1982, when I was 20 years old. Here I am with my close friend, Dimitrios Demerzis, now father Gennadios Sinaitis. [Natasa] Did you choose consciously to study law? [Morphou] No, I liked history a lot. I also liked philology. [Natasa] Don’t you ask yourself how you ended up in law school? [Morphou] The reason [I went to law school] was my brother Theocharis who is an exquisite philologist and a historian. He told me, “Brother, you will end up reading philology and history eventually anyway. Since you are a good speaker, go to law school.” When I was in the left, the then secretary general, Dimitris Christofias, singled me out [for my skills]. “We will own two offices, if you become a lawyer,” my brother went on. I did obedience to him, even though I did not want to. Theocharis knew that I did not want to [go to law school] and that he pressured me on this. But it turned out well because I discovered a science unknown to me. [Natasa] Which Saint was it that told you that your law degree will prove useful someday for the Church of Cyprus? [Morphou] St. Porphyrios [of Kavsokalyvia]. The one in the screen is St. Iakovos [Tsalikis]. I met St. Porphyrios when I was 19 years old and he told me, “You will hold this degree. The Church of Cyprus will need it and the Archbishop [of Cyprus] will ask for it.” So, it happened. First, Chrysostomos I asked [my legal advice] for interrogations of priests and archpriests. Later on, Chrysostomos II [asked it] in writing with his signature. I called him “Bous” [from the second letter of the Greek alphabet “B” implying that he was the second with that name]. “Do not call me Bous,” he used to tell me. “The ‘Bous’ [meaning ox in Ancient Greek] is the strong one who pulls the load. It’s the symbol of Apostle Luke.” I told him. He liked it once I explained it this way. He [Chrysostomos II] sent me a letter one year before he fell asleep. He told me, “Desperate mothers come to me …” Watch the cares that he had. A side of him we never showed to the world. We only paid attention to his statements, the quarrels he had with me, with [Metropolitan] of Lemessos. But he cared for his people. He was a father. [Natasa] All of you [care]. Despite what goes public. [Morphou] Thank you for saying that. Once you become an archpriest, you cannot but become a father too. Otherwise, you turn into a monster. The same applies for mothers. You are either a [true] mother or a monster. So, he sent me some mothers of high school drug addicts. Drugs in high schools, another hot topic. He [Chrysostomos II] told me in his letter, “Read the law on prosecuting crimes related to drugs. There are holes in the law which are used by the drug traffickers. Let’s make some proposal to the relevant Legal Committee of the Parliament and close these holes in the law.” When I saw his signature [in his letter], I remembered the [prophetic] words of St. Porphyrios. What great Saints our Greece produced in the 20th century! Some said [St. Porphyrios’ prophecy] means that you will become an Archbishop. I tell them, “No!” The Saints did not speak in abstract or make abstract prophecies. As one said, “They could see through the keyhole!” I told them, “For St. Porphyrios to tell me this, it means that some Archbishop will ask me for something!” [Natasa] The first Saint that you met … [Morphou] It was St. Porphyrios in the shack where he lived in Oropos [Greece]. First, we went to St. Porphyrios. He told me many things. [Natasa] What things? About yourself? [Morphou] No need to tell them. For myself and others. At the time, I was in need of a father. Not for spiritual reasons, but for psychological ones. I missed my [dead] father. Let all the divorced and all the orphans listen to this. Furthermore, the responsibility of us, clergy, is to become fathers of many people, struggling people, drug addicts, orphans, divorced. You realize the responsibility a priest, a bishop holds. He [St. Porphyrios] told me we look alike in the character. “You too have a lot of logic and much injured sensitivity. You need a father ‘to fill’ this injured sensitivity. How are you to be a father, otherwise?” “Where should I go?” I asked. “To Iakovos!” “Who is Iakovos?” I asked. He answered, “He lives in Evia, in [the monastery of] Saint David and he is the most holy, the simplest elder that exists today in Greece.” Indeed, I went to him [St. Iakovos]. A little before going to St. Iakovos, I went to the Holy Mountain and met with St. Paisios [the Athonite]. He [St. Paisios] told me the same thing: visit St. Iakovos and come visit me occasionally. St. Paisios was the one who told me, “There will come a time when you will have to build monasteries. You will build them with two yards, one for the laypeople and one for the monks or nuns.” “Am I supposed to do such things?” I asked him. “Not now, my child. When you become an official person of the Church, you will be called to defend the Orthodox faith and you have to become a Maccabee.” [St. Paisios said.] I did not know who the Maccabees were at all. I then found out. On Pascha of 1982, I went and found this man of God [St. Iakovos]. He has become my father, psychologically and spiritually ever since. My Natasa, I tell people, “In the Metropolis of Morphou, the Metropolitan is not Morphou Neophytos. It’s Iakovos Tsalikis.” All our priest experience that and the people of the area also feel the same. That’s why we will build him a great church, a great pilgrimage at the roundabout of Akaki. People of God have given me a lot of land and I will build there a great pilgrimage. Right after and due to the fact that [the monastery] of Saint David was far away, I met the fourth Saint. I wanted someone to confess to, every week. And someone to teach me how to be a monk. Because at 20, 21 years old, a voice emerged from inside me, “Watch over yourself. You will become a monk.” [Natasa] You knew it. [Morphou] I was hearing it, inside me. To listen inside my heart is an idiom I took from my mother. [Natasa] Had you already confessed when you were 20 years old? [Morphou] At 19 years old I did my first confession to a good priest in Ilisia [Athens], father Georgios Kalantzis. [Natasa] And you told him that you wanted to be a monk? [Morphou] No, back then I did not want to be a monk. I just wanted to confess. Who took me to this priest? Three brothers from Neon Xorion of Paphos [Cyprus]. Three brothers from Neon Xorion of Paphos [Cyprus], the Savvas family. I mention it since you also have an origin from Paphos. They attended the Liturgy there, every Sunday. One of them became an ascetic. I joined them. I met this good priest. A lot of Cypriot university students used to visit him. I confessed to him two times. I was relieved of the burdens of the past, of the guilts that each man bears from his teenage years. I realized he did not suit me as a spiritual father and I asked his blessing… [Natasa] So you could go to another spiritual father. [Morphou] Yes. He gave me his blessing and I met through a miraculous way in the leprosy hospital [of Athens], St. Evmenios [Saridakis]. He is also a Saint of our Church and his feast day is on the 23rd of March. In this photo, I am with St. Evmenios in London. In this photo, we are either in Moscow or Ukraine, anyway it was Soviet Union. [Natasa] I read that, at first, he [St. Evmenios] would not receive you for confession. [Morphou] Not a word [from him] for one whole year. In this photo, I am a deacon, on the left, and there is a man, you can barely see him on the right of the Saint, who inspired me and helped me meet the Saints, Gerasimos Fokas of Kefalonia, [Greece]. He became a bishop for a few days and then he died. We are performing the Sanctification of Water [«Αγιασμός» in Greek]. This photo is from England with an amazing friend, the one with the moustache in the center, Andreas Christophorou. I worked next to him in the tourist agency “Rhodos.” We organized trips for two years and I worked as a guide. Every summer, since we were poor, first my brother Theocharis, then me. We went to a hotel in Spetses, “Poseidonion Hotel.” [It was] the most aristocratic one and we made a lot of money. I saved this money, as St. Iakovos advised me, and I managed to get by for 10 straight months. I managed to support myself alone. My mother used to say, “This one was not raised by us." [Natasa] When you returned to Cyprus you had the chance to meet … [Morphou] I was 25 years old. I met another man of God. He is still alive. My elder, elder Symeon, abbot of the monastery of Mavrovouni in Troulloi of Larnaka. We built together the first monastery of the ones that St. Paisios prophesized with two yards. St. George in Mavrovouni. [Natasa] I have also heard you speak of elder Panais of Lysssi. I mention him as an example of a [holy] man who lived inside the world. [Morphou] Sainthood is not an [exclusively] Greek phenomenon. [Natasa] And you don’t have to be a monk [necessarily] to become a Saint. [Morphou] Bravo for saying this because some supported this position and spread wrong messages. As if marriage is a second-tier mystery. We forget that all monks are children of a marriage. All of us, monks. [Natasa] How many Saints have you met totally in your life? [Morphou] This is my elder, father Symeon when he and I were younger. Do you know when this photo was taken? A day before I was ordained a bishop. He [Fr. Symeon] told me, “Let’s take a photo that you remember us and won’t forget us.” [Natasa] In 1998? [Morphou] Yes, 1998! [In this photo], it’s my ordination by this great ethnarch [Chrysostomos I]. As some ask about the ethnarch-role of the Church, you do not need to yield [political] power to be an ethnarch. You need to have heart. In this photo, there is an ethnarch without being President of the [Cypriot] Democracy, Chrysostomos I. He was concerned all his life with two things. “How will the Turks leave and [Cyprus] will be liberated, Metropolitan of Morphou?” This is how he spoke, “Metropolitan of Morphou! How will the land be liberated; this must be your worry!” And the second [worry], “Strong church and financially self-sufficient. So that we need no one, only God!” It’s not only these two. I tell you that there are more. He [Chrysostomos I] and Chrysostomos II defined the Church [of Cyprus] on these two levels during the late years of the 20th century and the first years of the 21st century. On a first [level], for the church to continue to have the agony of liberation of this land from the [Turkish] occupying forces. On a second [level], for the Church [of Cyprus] to manage to be self-sufficient [financially]. Especially, when you watch what happens in other sister-Churches who are subdued to the state since both the archpriests and priests are “clerks” of the state [i.e., are paid by the state]. This is a tragedy! This [phenomenon] does not exist in Cyprus thanks to the old archbishops. It’s not just the autocephaly of the Church. You can have autocephalous [status] and still be subdued to the state and to Europe, right? The autocephaly was the achievement of the archpriests of Cyprus during the first millennium A.D. The second achievement was to preserve Orthodoxy and not submit to the Latins, the Venetians of the Pope, the Turks, the English. And afterwards, to not go to your head in the 1960s when Makarios became a President. It was a short era. It might only lasted 14 years, but it was a dangerous era. Makarios [ that is Archbishop Makarios III] enshrined the autocephaly in the [Cypriot] Constitution. So, we have a reaffirmation in law of the autonomy of the Church of Cyprus. Afterwards, the two Chrysostomos [I & II] carried out the financial autonomy. The last one [Chrysostomos II] carried out the impossible. Let’s mention the archpriests who helped him in this effort. The [Metropolitan] of Paphos, Georgios, the [Metropolitan] of Kykkou, Nikephoros, the [Metropolitan] of Lemessos, Athanasios and the [Metropolitan] of Morphou, Neophytos [himself], along with the dear [Metropolitan] of Constantia, Vassilios. If I am considered the Legal [Consul] of the Holy Synod, he [Vassilios] is “the Minister of Foreign Affairs.” The fact that we are all candidates [for the throne of the Archbishop] does not mean that we are hostiles. The day after the elections will find us all together again, 17 people around the same table, with the purpose of keeping this historic church [of Cyprus], Orthodox in faith, Greek in voice, psalmody and blessings, [and] most important of all, modern. [Natasa] We will go on a short commercial break and we will be back because I have many things to ask you about nowadays. [Morphou] If you have enough time. [Natasa] Indeed! [Natasa] In the second part of our interview, I want us to talk about some of your opinions that created a backlash. I will start with your usual references to the “New World Order.” We lived through this pandemic, your Eminence. The people and all of us were scared because they told us that before death, we need to protect ourselves. The protection took the shape of protective measures of public health, wearing masks, isolating in homes, etc. We witnessed a lot of things, your Eminence. Yet, we also witnessed the Metropolitan of Morphou, Neophytos react. We watched you performing the Liturgy on the feast of the Holy Theophany [despite state prohibitions for mass gatherings]. You were fined 300 euros and you were dragged to courts, because you reacted. You said that as a hierarch I have my flock and I have to perform the Great Blessing of Water. This is what God ordered me. This is what I [the reporter] understand as [one of the] faithful concerning your [aforementioned] actions. On the other hand, there is what I described [above] -- the fear of death, the pandemic ... We have to follow the measures in the interest of public health, because it’s not just an individual matter. [Morphou] What is the question? [Natasa] The question is that the way you acted caused reactions. [Natasa] I say that you acted on a spiritual basis. Explain as your decision not to wear a mask, to say … [Morphou] No to vaccines … [Natasa] We will come to that. Let’s talk about the measures first. [Morphou] The vaccines are also considered a measure of coping with a manufactured disease. You must have understood this from the first part of this interview and also from other interviews I have given over the years. I have been a bishop for 24 years now. I am not a child. [Natasa] You also have legal expertise. [Morphou] My theological education [more than my legal one] helped me more to take decisions on how to deal with the pandemic and the measures that Europe, not the [Cypriot] government, sent us. Even more, “the carriers” of Orthodox theology [helped me]. They do not necessarily take the shape of an archpriest. They are God-bearing people. Such was the 5, 6, 7 Saints you showed on the screen before. We forgot the holy elder of Stavrovouni, Athanasios. He is the elder of all elders of Cyprus. We need to make a show just for him. Cyprus needs to know what this man created and what he protected. The same goes for elder Panais of Lysi as well as Hatziflourentzos, the Saint prophet, who slept in 1969 if I am not mistaken. We knew that the New World Order will come and the New World Order has certain goals. The New World Order, for those who are not familiar, and I am sad because many archpriests do not mention the New World Order. Only Morphou [himself] does. No one else of the other archbishopric candidates speaks about the New World Order. [Natasa] Any word about it within the Holy Synod [of the Church of Cyprus]? [Morphou] Rarely. This is most sad. First, the archpriests, we fail to read “the signs of the times.” The signs of the times are not necessarily the prophecies of St. Paisios, St. Kosmas the Aetolian, St. Matrona the blind, and many other Saints. It’s the geostrategy and the geopolitics that unfold. Many atheists, who do not deal with “the metaphysic” or the prophetic speech, come to the same conclusions with St. Paisios, with St. Matrona, with St. Kosmas the Aetolian 250 years ago, with the Revelation of St. John, 2000 years ago, with the prophets of the Old Testament, thousands of years ago. The Holy Spirit did not drop dead. It’s not a dove that was shot. It’s alive and it’s God! The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one and Triune God. This Holy Spirit illumines “the clean people,” meaning those who cleanse their hearts of passions and weaknesses, either inherited or acquired. Such people are Saints. But it can also be you, it can be me. To the extent that we cleanse our hearts, we receive the analogous illumination by the Holy Spirit. Not by the atheist letters of Europe that were taught to us in schools and universities. [Natasa] So you, yourself discerned … [Morphou] The Saints who I met before helped me discern. Among them, count the illiterate Milia and Myrofora, count Athanasios of Stavrovouni, who at 14 years of age went on to be an ascetic, and St. Iakovos [Tsalikis] who is, of course, now canonized. A universal, huge Saint. All of them prepared me, in the same way, that they prepared me to be a bishop. St. Iakovos told me that in my era after I pass 50 years of age, an antichrist situation will arrive. “You will be an archbishop then and you have to rise and speak up my child” [St. Iakovos]. “Why antichrist, elder?” “They will try through many ways to disturb the Church and, unfortunately, many chosen ones will be fooled.” “Meaning?” I ask. “Archpriests! They will believe them.” [St. Iakovos]. Since I was certain that you would ask these questions. This one, he is a Cypriot from Alona. I am not sure if you can see him. This man of God, my dear daughter, Father Savvas Achilleos had also a great prophetic gift and he fell asleep 3, 4 years ago. He was in Kareas, Athens. I read it exactly as he said it. “The antichrist will occupy ‘the post’ of health. It’s the flu that will come. It will look like the flu.” [Natasa] When did he say that? [Morphou] Listen to all of it and I will then tell you the date. “A manufactured disease.” Are you listening [to the source] from which Morphou saw all these? From the eyes of the prophets. “It is recommended to avoid any kind of vaccination. Those who will not be vaccinated will be isolated.” Did it happen [as said], Ms. Natasa? [Natasa] Yes … [Morphou] “Homily of Father Savvas Achilleos on the 11th of October 2007.” It’s on YouTube, find it and listen to him. [Natasa] We have already done so. [Morphou] “He was born in the village Alona of the Metropolitan District of Morphou on the 2nd of August 1930, and he fell asleep on the 3rd of August 2016.” And he performs many miracles. For you. [Natasa] Thank you. So, I did not have many choices but only to discern when the age will come that they will use health to intimidate of people. And the five tycoons of wealth, the Rockefeller family, the Rothschild family, Soros, Bill Gates, and one more who has Greek origin and I will not name him. [Natasa] What was their goal? [Morphou] Not “was.” It still is. This was the first round. [Natasa] What is their goal? [Morphou] Their final goal and I am not a conspiracy theorist. Do you remember when we did a show on the Signs of the Times? And with your colleague, Elita Michailidou. We did show 7 years ago. [Natasa] They are on YouTube. [Morphou] They are on YouTube. Go and find out what happened, what did not happen, and what will happen. Because prophecy is given in order not to be realized, but for the people to beg for it not to happen, out of fear or pain. Those are St. Porphyrios's words. He says that the prophecy is given with the hope that it won’t happen. Meaning that the people will [eventually] come to repentance and [the prophecy will not happen], because what is happening and what will happen is not a punishment from God. No! They are the results of our, clergy and lay people, acts and omissions. [Namely], our abortions, our unnatural [carnal] sins that take place not only outside of marriage, as some think for the poor LGBT, the homosexuals, and the lesbians. No! These things take place inside marriage as well. I named them and all of Cyprus said, “Morphou is a lunatic, he is mad. Do not listen to him!” And the third great sin is satanism and witchcraft which have taken on ever greater proportions. As soon as you open your phone on Google, you will find all these. And all these things are watched by our little children. Now, the “geniuses” of the Parliament, after all the education and the web, not for the teenagers, but the kids of elementary school, they decided to introduce sexual education [in schools]. To whom? A little bit longer and the children will be the ones teaching you [on sexual education]. “We will do the right thing,” [they say]. The right thing needs the right people, and the right teachers—without passions [«απαθής» in Greek]. Let’s go back to the issue of vaccines. When I met these Saints and they told me the things that are taking place and are bound to take place... When I talked about Bill Gates about two and a half years ago, most Cypriots did not know who this man was. Now everybody knows him because every semester he informs us about the next vaccine to come, which is paid for and manufactured by him. Do you remember a folk song saying, “Everything is paid, everything is paid and Dad has taken care of everything for me and it’s the 31st of the month?” You might not have heard it. The “dad” now is Bill Gates and the other five I told you about, who have one goal, reducing the human population. They say there are too many of us, and with the advanced technology of robotics, the technology of electronic brains, and the technology of Artificial Intelligence and nanotechnology and the vaccines we can produce —after we intimidate people that they have to vaccinate themselves because otherwise, they will die from the diseases that every so often we will create after we have already produced vaccines for them. When I know all these things, should not I inform people about them? The Metropolitan of Lemessos might not have found the time to read these things or did not get into the process of reading them or his environment did not allow him to read them. But, it’s been decades that the environment of Morphou, earthly and heavenly, has been preparing him for years that these things are coming. And when they came, they were familiar to me, not sudden. When this thing has poison inside it, should you not tell your son, “My child, do not drink this. It has poison inside.” [Natasa] Your Eminence, every week they announce deaths from COVID-19. [Morphou] They have stopped now. Why have they stopped now? [Natasa] They say that people should vaccinate themselves in order to build up immunity and that our only defense is vaccination. Scientists say that children should also be vaccinated. You now say that their aim is population decline or profit. [Morphou] Population decline implies profits for these tycoons of wealth. As a teenager said to his mother, first they earn money and then they achieve population decline which is also profit. Do you think that the population decline will only be achieved through vaccination? There are other scenarios to witness and we will indeed witness them. Because it’s them who govern. It’s not Christodoulides, Mavrogiannis, or my friend Protopappas, whoever [of them] is elected President [of the Cypriot Democracy in the upcoming elections of February 2023]. Will they manage to resist the five [in favor] of globalization? The five govern all the banks, except for the Russian, the Iranian, the Syrian, the Indian, and the Venezuelan. They try to control China now, they have their mechanisms, but I won’t get into that. [Natasa] They say that the pandemic is under control now. [Morphou] A new one is coming, my child. Now, it’s the time of the [Third] World War. They started the World War, not Putin. [Natasa] Is the Third World War now underway? [Morphou] Yes, it is. It started in Syria and it unfolds piece by piece. What is happening now in Ukraine will stretch and it will expand to faraway lands, in Iran, India, China, and Australia. With the [Third] World War, there would be more population decline. Think how many people died during the Second World War without the use of nuclear weapons. Many radioactive plants will explode… [Natasa] When will this happen? [Morphou] I don’t know the chronologies. These things do take place. Did Chernobyl happen? It happened. It’s inside the Revelation, “Wormwood” [Revelation 8:11]. Go read it! First, the archpriests who want to govern the Church of Cyprus and then the people. [Natasa] Do you emphasize these things inside the Holy Synod? [Morphou] Only to those who listen. Some listen, and others do not want to. Some do listen and see that these things have started happening. It’s not just the World War [that is] a means of population decline. It’s radio energy, the biological warfare. There is also a way “to activate” the [Covid] vaccines. These vaccines are not like the polio vaccine, which of course I have taken, or the measles vaccine or the flu vaccine, which of course and I have taken and still do. I am not an antivaxxer. The [covid] vaccines have already been taken by the 70% of the Cypriot people with the consent of the overwhelming majority of the hierarchs of Cyprus— listen to the responsibility these hierarchs hold, either knowingly or unknowingly. With a government program that came straight away from the European Union and the European Union received it straight away from the five I told you about. See how the New World Order works? Hierarchically. [Natasa] If you were my spiritual father … [Morphou] I would tell you not to take the vaccine. I have responsibility. [Natasa] Let’s say that I took the vaccine, what should I do now? [Morphou] Bravo, Natasa. This is why I like you. You are a searching reporter and not a reactionary one. That’s why I came to your show because you want “to cure” the viewer, not to provoke him. [Natasa] Neither to scare him. [Morphou] Neither do I. As much as I love the vaccinated ones, I also love the unvaccinated ones. Right now, I love a bit more the vaccinated ones. Why? I empathize with them because they are victims unknowingly. Either they are archpriests, priests, or laypeople of God. [Natasa] What should the people who have been vaccinated a number of times or will be vaccinated do? [Morphou] I did not conclude on how the New World Order works. It’s not just with vaccines or the diseases or radio energy or the future activation of the vaccine. They have the means to cause earthquakes and tsunamis. Technology has reached this level. And to cause poisoning even through the air by spraying. This is why some call us [mockingly] “the sprayed ones.” Even the chlorination of the water can affect people. Even hormonally, the nutrition. Very few realize the damage that fertilizers, chemicals, and hormones have caused in the spread of cancer, leukemia, and all these uncurable diseases. Thank God that we have the Saints in heaven who intercede, not only pray, all the time and perform miracles. Where medicine fails, St. Nikephoros [the Leper] comes and says, “Come and I will heal you.” And the energy of the Holy Spirit. [Natasa] If they [the Saints] make it … [Morphou] Don’t say these things. They can cure everyone. He is God! [Natasa] I am resonating with society’s question through this. Is someone special and [only he receives a miracle]? That’s a good question. Why do not we all get a miracle? I will come back to your question on how the vaccinated ones can be cured. It is really important for me. If I answer just that, I can then leave. Why doesn't everyone get a miracle? Do you know how many people were on a ventilator, during the pandemic, and my elder, St. Evmenios Saridakis appeared to them or, even, the elder of my elder, St. Nikephoros. Both of them were lepers [during their lives]. They were not healthy people. They did not say that “health is the greatest good” as a journalist said the other day to Mr. Protopappas, our representative. Protopappas said nothing. His wife is a doctor, what could he possibly say? [Natasa] He had to return home eventually… [Morphou] Why doesn't everyone get a miracle? Because, my daughter, the purpose of our life is not the 50, the 60, the 100 years, and the health of our body. It’s eternal life! Fr. Georges Florovsky, the greatest of the academic theologians of the 20th century, said, “A great failure of the Orthodox archpriests and priests is that they do not talk about eternal life and repentance.” So, the uneducated, the non-catechized Christian says, “Here is life. Everything else is fairytales.” Although every day the Saints intercede with miracles, he says, “We do not have proof.” You are to receive the Holy Communion and you hear the priest saying, “The servant of God, Natasa, partakes of the Body and Blood of Christ for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.” The Divine Liturgy speaks! Who interprets it, though, right? Here is a task for the next Archbishop. Firstly, [interpret it] to the priests and [then] the priests to the people. I tell you that this is a higher task than financial self-sufficiency [of the Church]. There are the mistakes of the old Archbishops who thought that money, hotels, student dorms, and sandwiches are enough. My child, here we have eternal life. We hold it in our hands. Body and Blood of Christ. This is eternal life. The people of Cyprus want it, ask for it but you must help him believe more -- [especially], when the disease comes, when the earthquake comes when the liberation of Cyprus comes which is arriving through other itineraries and not through negotiations which right-wing and left-wing of Cyprus desire. [Natasa] Will the Turks leave? When? [Morphou] Surely, they will leave. When the Kurds create their state. [Natasa] It takes a while. [Morphou] Yes, because our repentance takes a while. Thus, many people will not be cured by various incurable diseases or by the vaccines, either because they do not repent, or because God wants to receive them already in eternal life for them to enjoy there the Trisagion [«Τρισάγιο» in Greek] Light which is full of information. [Natasa] So, for those who died, their time had come? [Morphou] Each one in his own time. But the time has come not for them to die, but to live eternally. The question is, “Where are we headed after death?” [Natasa] For one who is vaccinated and listens to you… [Morphou] Bravo, you go back to the question. What a great reporter! [Natasa] What do you have to say to those who are already vaccinated? [Morphou] Let me tell you what a Saint told me since, as you understand, I resort continuously to Saints. I do not have my own recipes. What I tell you are not my words, let me be clear about that. Do you know what is mine? What is my desire? To never become an Archbishop, neither now nor later on, as some say prophetically. Neither now, nor later on. To go to the free [region] of Morphou [now under Turkish occupation]—where I am going no matter what. I know it. To repair the churches quickly, to prepare the next [Metropolitan of] Morphou. I am already on it. There is a mountain in rectangular shape, it’s like a plateau, but it’s not exactly a mountain. Rigatis over the Kyra of Morphou and Filia [two occupied villages]. There is a deserted monastery of over 1000 years there, full of caves, St. George. I started from St. George, and I will finish at an [monastery] of St. George. The Saints told me, “My child, 90 years are few for you.” [Natasa] Where will the Metropolitan of Morphou go? The Metropolitan [himself] either becomes an Archbishop, whenever he becomes one, or he does not become one. His desire and his aim: I am already preparing the metochion of the Holy Tomb. I only need the blessing of my beloved Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos. We have a small companion [of monks] and I will go there for my last years. This is what I wish. But, do you always do what you want in your life? [Natasa] No. [Morphou] Neither do I. [Natasa] But I pray so that the one who is a father does what he must. [Morphou] I am telling God, “Let your will be done in my life.” I want these things. I have the right to have my own will. [Natasa] Before entering the studio, you told us a story when you had kneeled to ask St. George the Trophy-Bearer… [Morphou] Now, concerning your question and I am finishing. We have already said enough beautiful things. What should the vaccinated ones do in the case that Morphou says is true? Not just Morphou and some Nobel laureates, Montagnier. Because some people tell me, “What you say is not scientific, Metropolitan!” and I am answering, “Are not Nobel laureates scientists?” “What is Montagnier?” The one who found the genome of man which is destroyed by the vaccines. This is why [taking the vaccine] is a sin, Metropolitan of Lemessos, and a spiritual issue. I am talking about the Metr. of Lemessos—and this is a complaint of mine. Although he could support me on the issue of vaccines, he was close to my opinions for some time. Then, some of his people told him not to do it. He might have seen it from a medical standpoint and said this, which is, however, anti-orthodox. He [the Metropolitan of Lemessos] said, “The vaccine is not a spiritual issue. It’s a medical one. Let the doctors give an answer.” As if destroying God’s creation is not a spiritual issue. The fact that Patriarch Bartholomew is rightly interested in the ecological issue since there is one. Is this not a spiritual issue? The fact that we do charities and the Metropolis of Lemessos does it better than anyone else in Cyprus. Is this not a spiritual issue? Of course, and it is. All these are considered spiritual issues and taking the vaccine is not? Then come the statements by the priests, “Did you take the vaccine? Do not listen to Morphou. Take it.” The reporters, the priests, and the bishops, [all on the same line]. Let us conclude with what the vaccinated ones should do. After I prayed a lot to the Christ and the Panagia to illumine the men of God, they [the men of God] told me, “When the vaccinated ones repent for the mistake they committed, knowingly or not, [when they] stop finding excuses for themselves --“My wife told me to [do it]… My husband told me… I did it for the kids…” Some say, “My spiritual father told me to [get vaccinated].” Let’s take on the responsibility as we do for the rest of our sins. We got vaccinated, knowingly or unknowingly. I believe everyone did it unknowingly. Secondly, after we realize our mistake, we repent inside. How do we repent? This is an analysis of how we repent and it applies to all sins, not just the vaccination. I am saddened a bit inside me, but not too much because you might fall into depression. You repent a bit inside you and you start talking to Christ who is the Lord of Life and Death, the perfect God and the perfect man. “My Christ, I sinned. I envy, I get angry, I have dirty thoughts, I committed adultery, fornication. I am homosexual. I am a liar, I am a thief, I am greedy. My Christ, I sinned either with a thought or an action. Forgive me, my Christ.” “Only You forgive. Not a priest, nor a Patriarch. Neither you nor I forgive." Someone did something to [hurt] me... He only has to ask forgiveness from Christ and, if he hurt me, he should give me a call, “Brother, forgive me. I was mistaken.” You talk to Christ. You feel that Christ heard you. This is the key. The more broken the heart is… “A broken and humbled heart God will not despise.” [Psalms 50:19] You will feel relief. Your conscience, your heart informs you about the first remission [of sin]. Where is the second remission given? At the epitrachelion [priest’s stole]. It is not the spiritual father who forgives in essence. It is the blessings of the Holy Spirit through the spiritual Father. And if the spiritual father is “a spiritual doctor” and not just a priest who listens, he will help you. If he realizes that your repentance is superficial, purely intellectual, he will help you make it deeper, more from the heart. Do you know who the good spiritual fathers are? The ones who see their sin inside them. As Kazantidis [the singer] says, “My sin, you are inside me, inside my chest, and how to take you out…” [Natasa] You do listen to songs. [Morphou] Always. They are full of theology and beautiful, eastern sounds. After you feel this relief, you go to the spiritual father. Only after you repent, do you go to him. What many people do, when they go directly to the spiritual father without having repented ... they are set to repeat the same sin and worse. This is why the spiritual father has to discern. Does Natasa have repentance inside her? Do you know how many women who did abortions came to me? How many homosexuals did the act? The spiritual fathers did not help them. They told them, “It’s a sin, it’s a sin, Sodom and Gomorrah. Abortion is murder.” But they already know that since they are there confessing instead of being proud of it. [Natasa] Do you embrace homosexuals? [Morphou] Of course. The things I am telling you are out on my experience with them. You help them repent in depth. [Natasa] Is it considered a great sin? [Morphou] All these things are sins. Premarital relations are also a sin. One moment, my daughter, we have not finished with the issue of the vaccine. It’s the next big problem in Cyprus. After they repent with their heart, they will go to the spiritual father. He will discern to what extent Natasa has repented for the vaccination or any other passion. He will help, he has to help. But can a vaccinated spiritual father truly help? Understand? Thus, we need to find the proper spiritual father. [Natasa] So, everybody should rush to the Metropolitan of Morphou. [Morphou] No, it’s not just Morphou. There are many spiritual fathers in Nicosia, a few in Lemessos, and many in other Metropolis. [Natasa] Do you know them? [Morphou] Yes. They can call me and I will let them know. But not everyone can be requesting me [as their spiritual father] because then I will need medication. What will the spiritual father do? He will listen to the repentance, he will appraise it, and he will read the forgiveness prayer. And—the Saints told me—if he realizes that the vaccine “acts” inside them. Because it [already] “acts” in some people. I will be silent on how it “acts” because some will react. Once I said that a homosexual “smelled bad” and they thought that I was referring to the physical smell when I was referring to a smell of a spiritual nature. After the forgiveness prayer is read, the spiritual father should read three blessings of Saint Basil the Great. You can find them in the Euchologion. Why? Because vaccination is not just a medical issue. It’s also a spiritual one according to modern Saints. Elder Efthimios of Mount Athos, a great elder, agrees. The abbot was not of the monastery of Vatopedi… but of the monastery of St. Paul in Mt. Athos, Abbot Parthenios, “the abbot of abbots” as Saint Paisios called him, agrees with me. It [vaccination] is a spiritual issue. Only spiritual fathers can provide treatment for it. Why is an issue called spiritual and not medical, physical, or psychological? An issue is spiritual, including the vaccine when the spirits enter inside us. Understand? Three dots. The rest are on the phone. [Natasa] Will you give us an answer on the issue of homosexuals? [Morphou] What is there to say? From the day I said it, the homosexuals rush to my epitrachelion [for confession]. They even brought me a holy icon as a gift, St. Mary of Egypt. Come and see it! [Natasa] So, the Metropolitan of Morphou embraces everyone. [Morphou] Lord have mercy, of course! The vaccinated ones are more than the homosexuals. All vaccinated people are registered in the records of the New World Order, with a name, an address, and an ID number. [Natasa] It’s really scary what you are saying. [Morphou] And the non-vaccinated ones are the enemies of the New World Order and we are in their records. And if it was not for the protection of the Holy Angels, the Holy Fathers, and Mothers, they would exterminate us. [Natasa] Archbishopric elections on the 18th of December. Can Morphou give us a comment about the final three candidates? [Morphou] What do you want me to say, prophecies about them? [Natasa] I mean your thoughts about the next Archbishop. Based on your words, you are getting an extension. [Morphou] I wish it so happens. This is my prayer, if possible, to never become [an Archbishop]. Listen to me. My heart knows how truthful it is what I am saying. Not now [to become an Archbishop], not after, not after the after. I even say to God, “Listen, if you want to make me a Patriarch, if you want to make me an Archbishop. Do it.” “But this is not my will. My will is [the monastery of] St. George Rigatis.” [Natasa] Will you vote in the Presidential elections, your Eminence? [Morphou] Most definitely. I won’t vote, however, in the archbishopric elections. [Natasa] But then you will lose one vote. [Morphou] It has been restored! A very good man called me and told me, “Your Eminence, I am in Greece, but I vote in Cyprus.” “I am arriving on Saturday, I will vote for you because you are the Archbishop of my heart whether you are elected or not.” “Monday, back to Athens again.” The reason I only go to certain reporters, you included, is the fact that they have a personal search. I feel that not their mouth, nor their brain speaks. All these are an extension of their hearts. They, themselves, look for [the truth]. When I see a reporter who only works for his boss and has no personal search, I feel like closing my mouth and saying nothing. He is dead. You are alive! [Natasa] Thank you very much, your Eminence, your blessing. [Morphou] The Lord’s blessing. To those who will hear the interview, may they forgive me, I don’t want to hurt anyone. I want to make them a question. Neither do I wish for their vote. I will be more satisfied with their questioning and their repentance as far as the things I said concern them. [Natasa] I tell you they will all rush to the Metropolis of Morphou. [Morphou] I will send them to the proper priests. I am not an elder, myself. [Natasa] Thank you very much for your interview and your presence in our studios, your Eminence. Be well. To everyone who heard us also be well. I am sure you will have the same conversation with your family and friends as many issues have surfaced from this interview that concerns us as a society and as Christians. Be well!

(in the Orthodox Easter)

Each year in Jerusalem, in the tomb of Jesus Christ comes the holy light (in the Orthodox Easter) and only the Orthodox Patriarch can take it. If you only look for this and why Catholics can not get it either Protestant or... The Holy Fire (Greek, agios phos, literally “Holy Light”) is a miracle that occurs every year at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on Holy Saturday, the day preceding Pascha. It is considered by many to be the longest-attested annual miracle in the Christian world, though the event has only been documented consecutively since 1106

From this we will have ww3

According to the prophecy of the Holy Elder Paisios from Greece, Turkey, in the near term, will be defeated in the war with Russia, and will disappear from the face of the earth as a state. Turkey has not been blessed by God, she did not repent for its atrocities and genocide of the Armenian people. The city of Constantinople would go to Greece. The third part of the Turks accept the Orthodox faith, and the other Turks leave their homeland forever. The Turks The Turks would leave, but it will come back again and reach Examilia. Will ultimately be prosecuted in Red Milia. By the Turks in third will be killed, the other third will be baptized and only 1/3 would Varian in Red Milia ". The prophecy of St. indicates that one-third of Turks will be baptized. It is noteworthy that today already among Turks there are many cryptos. Many pilgrims, particularly Russians, arriving in Turkey narrate that during their stay there, they come to these people asking for pictures, rosaries, and looking for an opportunity to confess and Communion. Cyprus my country will be free from Turkish Forces, After the war. Note for the Politicians,=whatever Turks say FROM BEFORE, They do it. Let's wake up from deep sleep. As we did not expect a war in Cyprus in 1974, The same is happening again in Greece today. Unfortunately, there is no chance of understanding what is happening and what is going to happen again. History is repeating itself. There's going to be a war between Greece and Turkey. If Someone has no power- strength -ability= to defend himself, seeks help from someone superior to you. It's simple. You give and take. Prophecies can not be Mistaken. Turkey will take 2,3 islands from Greece. St. Cosmas Etolia said this to you when you were under Turkish Occupation. The Turks will leave, but they will return and come to Examilia.=six miles in Aegean sea=Taking this time 2,3 islands. What do you do, to protect your land? Wake Up before it's too late for you. Kurds Armenians WILL HAVE THEIR OWN STATE,.TURKEY WILL PAY FOR THE CRIMES- The Armenians will have their own property, Turkey will pay for the crimes they have committed, Will invade the Aegean and will be their last move. They will be destroyed, One other country will help the Russians, but they will have a disagreement in Constantinople, thus will be given to the Greeks. Elder Paisios= According to the prophecy of Saint from Greece, in the short term Turkey, will be defeated, in the war with Russia and will disappear from the face of the earth as a state. Turkey was not blessed by God, it did not regret the barbarity and genocide of the Armenian people. The city of Constantinople will go to Greece. The third part of the Turks accepts the orthodox faith and the other Turks gave up their homeland forever. Instability exists, it is geopolitical. Turkey's military power is growing and international law is not being upheld. And the result of this is the war The world as we know it will go back 100 years, after the big war that is coming Turkey has no history but a criminal record

LEARN THE TRUTH

The God of non Christians=DEMONS According to written sources, on Holy Saturday that year, a group of Turkish soldiers, after mediation Armenians, prohibited the transit of the Orthodox Church of the Resurrection. The crowd of the faithful remained in the courtyard of the church throughout the day, but even after sundown. Patriarch Sophronius D, which deny the first year of his tenure, took over for the first time to carry out the most important ceremony of the year, however, the Turks denied him the legal right. The patriarch stood praying in the left part of the gate of the temple, near a column. And suddenly, having already fallen the night, the column ruptured and Holy Fire sprang from the inside. The patriarch immediately lit the candle and conveying the Holy Fire to the believers. Within minutes, the sacred flame spread to all attendees and the churchyard was illuminated. The astonished Turkish guards then opened the gates of the church and the patriarch, with the number of Orthodox, went solemnly to the Holy Sepulchrer

Ἡ Ἁγία Γραφή μᾶς προειδοποιεῖ, ὅτι ὁ σατανᾶς «μετασχηματίζεται καί εἰς ἄγγελον φωτός» διά νά πλανήσῃ. Τά περιστατικά εἰς τά ὁποῖα χριστιανοί, ἀκόμη καί μοναχοί, ἔπεσον θύματα ἀπατηλῶν δαιμονικῶν ἐμφανίσεων ἀποτυπώνονται πλήρως εἰς τό ἐκδιδόμενον ὑπό τῆς Ἱ.Μ. Ὁσίου Νικοδήμου «Γεροντικόν περί ὀνείρων καί ὁραμάτων». Γνωρίζομεν ἀκόμη ἐκ τῆς Ἁγίας Γραφῆς, ὅτι καί ἄν «ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εὐαγγελίζεται ἡμῖν, παρ' ὅ παρελάβομεν»«ἀνάθεμα ἔστω». Διά τοῦτο κάθε εὐαγγελιζομένη ἕνωσις ἡ ὁποία παραβλάπτει τήν σώζουσαν Ἀλήθειαν τῆς Ἐκκλησίας δέν μπορεῖ νά εἶναι ἀποδεκτή, ὡς πρόξενος συγχύσεως καί ἀπωλείας, πολλῷ μᾶλλον ὅταν αὕτη βασίζεται κατά τό πνεῦμα τῆς ἐποχῆς μας, πού ἐπιζητεῖ θεάματα, ὄχι εἰς τά «ἠχεῖα τοῦ Πνεύματος», τούς Ἁγίους Πατέρας, ἀλλά εἰς ὁράματα ἁπλοϊκῶν Χριστιανῶν, οἱ ὁποῖοι ἀνακηρύσσουν τούς ἑαυτούς των Προφήτας. ἀπό τούς Ἁγίους Ἀποστόλους.

βουδιστής ή Χριστός θα επιλέξετε Ένας βουδιστής μοναχός είχε ακούσει τις φήμες που κυκλοφορούσαν για το γέροντα Παΐσιο και αποφάσισε να τον επισκεφτεί. Όταν τον βρήκε στην καλύβα του, του είπε πως με τη βοήθεια του διαλογισμού ήταν ικανός να αιωρείται στον αέρα. Ο γέροντας δεν τον πίστεψε και απάντησε: “Ο άνθρωπος είναι φτιαγμένος για να πατάει στο χώμα”. Ο βουδιστής τότε έκατσε και διαλογίστηκε και μετά από λίγα λεπτά αιωρήθηκε, δύο μέτρα πάνω από το έδαφος. Ο Παΐσιος μόλις το είδε αυτό κίνησε το χέρι του προς αυτόν, λέγοντας: “Ε, τώρα κάτσε εκεί”! Ο βουδιστής μοναχός έντρομος ανακάλυψε πως δεν μπορούσε να κινηθεί ούτε προς τα πάνω ούτε προς τα κάτω. Ο γέροντας Παΐσιος του εξήγησε πως οι δυνάμεις που του επέτρεπαν να το κάνει αυτό ήταν δαιμονικές και αυτός με τη βοήθεια του Θεού τις εξουδετέρωσε.

ORTHODOXY is the only true religion! All the other so-called "christian churches" changed very many things in Christianity.. Catholicism changes and adjusts doga every day(a metaphor, but you got the idea). Orthodoxy has remained pure and unchanged since the 7 ecumenical councils at the dawn of Christianity. Catholics left us, and after them, the protestants split from them and drifted farther away from the true essence of Christianity, and then the Anglicans, Pentecostals, Baptists, etc, etc.... Now there are hundreds or even thousand of so-called "christian churches".Catholics are the origin of all the sects today. It is a saying... " There were three Great falls in history: 1)The fall of Satan 2)The fall of Adam 3)The fall of the first Pope in 1054! " But the Truth is only one, and is found in the only Church founded by the 12 apostoles. The Orthodox Church. Orthodox =The Right Faith Ortho = Right,Unchanged Dox = Dogma,Faith All the thousands of so-called christian churches starting with Catholicism lost Apostolic descendence. They are anathematized, because they changed the Faith. =

with the help of the Church Some souls then descended from Hades to Paradise with the help of the Church, not alone and certainly not all ... now who and to what extent? Let us liken Hades with an ocean. In the light path of the water from the sea surface to a depth of Fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty rarely Thirty meters there is the so-called light beam, where the sun rays penetrate and even a little light there is. From then on down there Erebus, the actual the eternal darkness. So at this time (mean of Hell stay of non saved) there are as many souls to Hades to penetrate the Divine Liturgy and little -siga can raise more and more over. So once the series moves to Paradise some of the Hell will go to Heaven And not fully disclosed our Christ and saved because some of the Hell will go to Heaven! Here is the experience and the importance of memorials j I made ... For not saved Hell-Demons-People Hell is the space in which punitive demons and people with soul and body after the Second Coming. Now the demon Although punished, but feels nice because our fights. After the Second Coming will be punished without being able to fight anyone. Experiencing hell while now but comforting because fighting and defeating someone whom wins and takes him to hell. After the Second Coming will start life everlasting In the Kingdom of Heaven In the Kingdom of Heaven is currently located only Christ and Our Lady, with soul and body. The Saints are in Paradise but without bodies There is nobody in hell yet Hell is completely empty yet! It contains absolutely anyone. Why was not even the Second Coming ... In hell they will be found after the Second Coming demons and sinners with soul and body.

Time of our death The realm of the air is where the demons are condemned to tempt human souls before they are in turn sent to hell at the Last Judgment. Demons are of course invisible to human senses but the fruits of their actions are shown in the human misery, chaos and sin enveloping the world. Even though both demons and angels are beyond general human sense perception, they still belong to the realm of creation and thus "to this world." Furthermore, these spirits have definite forms and are finite in their movements (any quality of infinity belonging to God alone), so therefore they can be said to have "bodies" in a similar manner to the way humans do, if not physical ones. Fr. Seraphim places special emphasis, citing a great many prominent Orthodox Fathers and spiritual writers, on praying for the dead after because prayers help some souls attain to heaven by calling upon God's mercy with fervor

Time to wake up It is here, taken over the whole world, and control all media and entertainment and telecommunications to you can not find other Human nations and organize it could. ATT, Verizon, T Mobile, Comcast, Dish TV, TV, all TV networks, movie studios all, all of Tainies As Google, Yahoo and all the Internet belongs Jews. All Telecom is owned and controlled by the Jews, so You will never understand the truth. And since banks controlled by the Jews and the Jewish Banking Laws allow them Jews to make money by lending money or money is their debt It also has the highest educational system and all banks lend money for higher education and the fact that the debt is money in banking world $ 1 trillion in student loan debt is actually 100 trillion in new money for the Hebrew Jewish banks. But stupid people, you try to find out who is the richest man every time. After a few years, they will possess your soul, with the Coming fucking Antichrist, and will not have no fucking idea what happens LOVE ANNINOS

Οἱ Τοῦρκοι Οἱ Τοῦρκοι θὰ φύγουν, ἀλλὰ θὰ ξανάρθουν πάλι καὶ θὰ φθάσουν ὡς τὰ Ἑξαμίλια. Στὸ τέλος θὰ τοὺς διώξουν εἰς Κόκκινη Μηλιά. Ἀπὸ τοὺς Τούρκους τὸ 1/3 θὰ σκοτωθῆ, τὸ ἄλλο τρίτο θὰ βαπτισθῆ καὶ μονάχα τὸ 1/3 θὰ πάη στὴν Κόκκινη Μηλιά». Η προφητεία αυτή του Αγίου αναφέρει ότι το ένα τρίτο των Τούρκων θα βαπτισθεί. Είναι αξιοσημείωτο, ότι σήμερα ήδη μεταξύ των Τούρκων υπάρχουν πολλοί Κρυπτοχριστιανοί. Πολλοί προσκυνητές, κυρίως Ρώσοι, φτάνοντας στην Τουρκία διηγούνται ότι κατά τη διάρκεια της παραμονής τους εκεί, έρχονται σ’ αυτούς άνθρωποι ζητώντας εικόνες, προσευχητάρια και αναζητούν την ευκαιρία να εξομολογηθούν και να κοινωνήσουν.

Ορθοδοξία Η Εκκλησία όμως που ίδρυσε ο Κύριος Ιησούς Χριστός, και παρέλαβαν οι Απόστολοι, και συνεχίζει να διατηρείται ανόθευτη μέχρι σήμερα μόνο στην Ορθοδοξία, δεν έγινε από ανθρώπινη προσπάθεια όπως αυτές της Δύσης, και δεν μπορούμε επομένως να προσθέσουμε ή να αφαιρέσουμε εμείς με διαλόγους κάτι από Αυτήν.

To δόγμα του Κάρμα και Μετενσάρκωση Ο Χριστός νίκησε το θάνατο, όχι με την απελευθέρωση από το σώμα, αλλά και με την ανάσταση και την αθανασία τοu σώματος .To δόγμα του Κάρμα και Μετενσάρκωση ακυρώνει το μυστήριο του Χριστού σωτηρια .Ενώπιον ο αιώνιος Κριτής θα σταθεί ο άνθρωπος όχι μόνο η ψυχή, αλλά και ως ένα σώμα, το δόγμα της μετενσάρκωσης, που αξιολογεί αρνητικά το σώμα, όχι μόνο να ακυρώσει την ελπίδα στο Χριστό, η χριστιανική, αλλά και την αίσθηση της θείας λατρείας, το βασικό σκοπό της Θείας Ευχαριστίας, ποιο είναι το σημείο να υποφέρουν σε αυτή τη ζωή, αν δεν έχετε καμία ανάκληση της προηγούμενης λάθη τη ζωή σου, ποιο είναι το όφελος από εσάς σε αυτή τη ζωή, και θα πρέπει να έρθει και πάλι, έχοντας τον ίδιο, πράγμα για μια στιγμή αυτό είναι πράγματα του διαβόλου, ο οποίος θέλει να σας αποσπάσει την προσοχή από την αλήθεια

Here knowledgeable authorities on the Jewish Kabbalah: Kabbalah contains such power and demonic teaching is more than enough to give the ideology and the driving force needed to mislead the world and to keep such an evil conspiracy alive through the centuries ... The Kabbalah is a source of Freemasons teaching as well as other groups. Kabbalah: The sacred books of black magic Judaism which constitute a large part of the base of the western secret societies, from Rosicrucians to Freemasonry and the OTO. Kabbalah is the same from the magic of ancient Babylon and Egypt ... Pharaonic. Kabbalah is a system of Jewish mysticism and magic and is the fundamental element of modern magic. Almost all great witches and magicians of this century was Kabbalists. - William J. Schnoebelen, The Dark Side of Freemasonry The Jewish Kabbalah is a series of apocryphal writings that are so demonic and every spell ever in magic. Webster dictionary the Kabbalah tells us is "an occult religious philosophy developed by some Jewish scholars

Does the Bible says that we are saved only by faith; Does the Bible says that the Bible is the complete revelation of God? No, it says. Does the Bible says that we are saved only by faith? No, it says. But what Scripture says is: 1 Timothy 3:15, "but if I tarry long, that know how men should behave in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." in John 14:26 "But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you." (Our Jesus said that full disclosure will reveal the Holy spirit) is James 2:26 "26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith without works is dead." Bible is clear, we must follow the church of Jesus. Catholic church does not belong to the Pope or the bishops or priests, Catholic church belongs to Jesus and every body is welcome to participate in this is why Jesus found him saved us.

η ψυχή έχει τις αισθήσεις του και, κατά συνέπεια, αισθάνεται

Η τελευταία απόφαση δεν αποτελεί πράξη την ανατροπή, την απόφαση της ψυχής κατά τη στιγμή του χωρισμού της από το σώμα, αλλά μάλλον για να πραγματοποιήσει μια ένωση με το μετασχηματισμένο, αναστημένο σώμα με το οποίο η ψυχή θα συνεχίσει να ζει για πάντα. Μετά τον διαχωρισμό, η ψυχή έχει τις αισθήσεις του και, κατά συνέπεια, αισθάνεται, αντιλαμβάνεται, και γενικά ασκεί όλες τις ενέργειες της ψυχής (Αποκάλυψη 6: 9-10, 7:15? 1 Πέτρου 3: 19? Εβραίους 12:23? Λουκά 16 : 27-28). Η λέξη «ύπνος», με την οποία χαρακτηρίζεται ο θάνατος, δεν αναφέρεται στην ψυχή, αλλά στο σώμα. Στο Κατά Ματθαίον 27:52, διαβάζουμε ότι πολλοί άγιοι που είχαν αποκοιμηθεί, τέθηκαν. Η τελευταία απόφαση θα λάβει χώρα σχετικά με το δεύτερο ερχομό του Ιησού Χριστού, μια ισχυρή πεποίθηση της Εκκλησίας καταγράφεται στο Σύμβολο της Πίστεως που «Αυτός (ο Ιησούς Χριστός) θα έρθει πάλι με δόξα για να κρίνει την γρήγορη και νεκρούς». Η ώρα της Δευτέρας Παρουσίας του Ιησού Χριστού δεν είναι γνωστή και, σύμφωνα με την Αποκάλυψη, δεν μπορεί να εικασία, με οποιοδήποτε μέσο.

«Αιρετικόν άνθρωπον μετά μίαν και δευτέραν νουθεσίαν παραιτού» (Απ. Παύλος Τίτ. Γ10). Οι Ορθόδοξοι όμως επιμένουμε να μετέχουμε συνεχώς σε συναθροίσεις αιρετικών Και βέβαια υπάρχουν οι Αποστολικοί κανόνες που ορίζουν ότι επιβάλλεται να μην έχομε πνευματική επαφή μαζί τους, για όποιον τυχόν δεν κατάλαβε τα προηγούμενα αποσπάσματα των Γραφών

Από τη σύντομη αυτή παρουσίαση της διδασκαλίας του αγίου Γρηγορίου περί της προαιρέσεως και της Κολάσεως εξάγονται μερικές αλήθειες. Πρώτον, ότι η χάρη του Αγίου Πνεύματος, δια του Βαπτίσματος, δεν αναγεννούν το άτομο αν η επιλογή αυτή δεν τίθεται σε εφαρμογή. Ως εκ τούτου, η επιλογή ενός ανθρώπου έχει μεγάλη σημασία. Δεύτερον, ότι υπάρχει Κόλαση στην οποία επικρατεί πυρ και το σκουλήκι που δεν ομοιάζουν με την αισθητή πραγματικότητα κυριαρχούν. Πρόκειται για άκτιστες πραγματικότητες. Πράγματι, το γεγονός ότι τα πράγματα αιώνια ζωή δεν θα είναι όπως σήμερα, και ότι το σκουλήκι "δεν πεθαίνει», δείχνει ότι τόσο το καθαρτήριο πυρ όσο και η βασανιστική ενέργεια των σκωλήκων είναι η άκτιστη ενέργεια του Θεού, η οποία θα να βιώνεται από εκείνους που δεν έχουν καθαριστεί σε αυτή τη ζωή. Ο συνδυασμός των πόνων της μετά τον θάνατο ζωής με το ατελεύτητο δείχνει ότι δεν θα υπάρξει τέλος καθάρσεως, όπως οι μελέτες του αγίου Γρηγορίου προτείνουν.
