Prophecies of saints about Russia. Predictions about the future of Russia and the restoration of the Orthodox monarchy

Prophecy of the elder monk-schema monk John, who labored in the Church of St. Nicholas the Ugodnik in the village of Nikolskoye (Yaroslavl region, Uglichesky district) of the Yaroslavl diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church:

“In April, when the “bald man” is taken out of the Mausoleum, Moscow will fall into salt waters and little will remain of Moscow. Sinners will swim in salt water for a long time, but there will be no one to save them. They will all die. Therefore, I recommend that those of you who work in Moscow work there until April.

The Astrakhan and Voronezh regions will be flooded. Leningrad will be flooded. The city of Zhukovsky (Moscow region, 30 km from the capital) will be partially destroyed.

The Lord wanted to do this back in 1999, but the Mother of God begged him to give him more time. Now there is absolutely no time left. Only those who leave the cities (Moscow, Leningrad) to live in the countryside will have a chance to survive. There is no point in starting to build houses in the villages, there is no time left, you won’t have time. Better buy a ready-made house. There will be a great famine. There will be no electricity, no water, no gas. Only those who grow their own food will have a chance to survive.

China will go to war against us with an army of 200 million and occupy all of Siberia to the Urals. The Japanese will rule the Far East. Russia will begin to be torn apart. A terrible war will begin. Russia will remain within the borders of the times of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. The Venerable Seraphim of Sarov will come. He will unite all Slavic peoples and states and bring the Tsar with him... There will be such a famine that those who have accepted the “seal of the Antichrist” will eat the dead. And most importantly, pray and hurry up to change your life so as not to live in sin, since there is absolutely no time left...”

Prediction of Archpriest Vladislav Shumov from the village of Obukhovo, Solnechnogorsk district, Moscow region (10/1/1996):

There will be a big earthquake in Moscow. Six hills in Moscow will turn into one...
Father Vladislav warned the Russian people about the many dangers that await everyone on the path to God:
- Yes, there will still be persecution of the Orthodox Faith!..
- In Russia, the communists will still come to power...
Father Vladislav also predicted future events in world history:
- Japan and America will go under water together.
- All of Australia will be flooded too.
- America will be flooded by the ocean all the way to Alaska. The same Alaska that will be ours again...
- The southern half of China will be flooded by the Indian Ocean. And then the Chinese will reach Chelyabinsk. Russia will unite with the Mongols and drive them back.
- When China comes at us, then there will be war. But after the Chinese conquer the city of Chelyabinsk, the Lord will convert them to Orthodoxy...”

Elder Vissarion (Optina Pustyn):

“Something like a coup d’etat will happen in Russia. The Chinese will attack that same year. They will reach the Urals. Then there will be a unification of Russians according to the Orthodox principle...”

The prophecy of Evdokia Chudinovskaya (1870-1948) from the village of Chudinovo (Chelyabinsk region), who was affectionately called “Blessed Dunyushka” by the people.

“Soon the Chinese will drink tea in Chelyabinsk, yes, yes, they will drink tea. Today you have icons, but you will live to see that you will wall up one icon in the village, and you will secretly pray for it. Because there will be large taxes for each icon, but there will be nothing to pay with.

And you will live to see that all of you believers will be deported to the North, you will pray and feed on fish, and those who are not deported, stock up on kerosene and lamps, because there will be no light. Gather three or four families into one house and live together; it is impossible to survive alone. You take out a piece of bread, crawl into the underground and eat it. If you don’t climb in, they’ll take it away, or even kill you for this piece.”

Blessed Evdokia told people: “Tell your people that when you go to bed, forgive everyone’s offenses, because if you lie down under one government and get up under another, everything will happen at night. You will fall asleep in your bed, and wake up beyond the borders of life, where every unforgiven offense will fall like a heavy stone on your soul.”

From memories of Evdokia: “One day Dunyushka was sitting, sitting, as if sleeping, and then she went up to the cradle with the baby and pricked him with a spindle: “This is how it will be.”

Why are you doing this to him, Dunyushka? - we ask her.

“I’m not his, I’m all of them like that,” and showed how all Russian children will be killed with bayonets.”

When you are led to torment, do not be afraid. Death is quick, it is better than slavery, the blessed one warned.

The blessed one was asked: “When will this be, mother?”

“First they will open churches, but there will be no one to go to them, then they will build a lot of magnificent houses with decorations, but soon there will be no one to live in them, the Chinese will come, they will drive everyone out onto the street, then we will cry to our hearts’ content. And when this will happen is a mystery. One person told me that at the end of the world there will be two Easters. Right and wrong. The priesthood will celebrate the wrong one, and war will begin.”

Prediction of Blessed Nicholas of Ural (1905-1977):

“Everyone here is afraid of the West, but we should be afraid of China... When the last Orthodox Patriarch is overthrown, China will go to the southern lands. And the whole world will be silent. And no one will hear how the Orthodox will be exterminated. In the bitter cold, women, old people, and children will be driven out onto the streets, and Chinese soldiers will take up residence in warm houses. No one will be able to survive that terrible winter. Everyone will drink the same cup of death to the dregs. Europe will be neutral towards China. To her, China will seem like some kind of antediluvian giant creature, isolated and reliably protected from any enemy by the Siberian and Central Asian expanses. Chinese armies will march to the Caspian Sea. Millions of Chinese migrants will follow the Chinese soldiers, and no one will be able to stop them. The entire indigenous population will be conquered and doomed to extinction."

Prophecies of Father Anthony (Chelyabinsk diocese):

“First of all, all kinds of technical disasters - the human-created system of existence, essentially satanic, because it absolutely contradicts the laws of God, will begin to break down. Planes will crash, ships will sink, nuclear power plants and chemical plants will explode. And all this will be against the backdrop of terrible natural phenomena that will occur throughout the world, but especially in America. These are hurricanes of unprecedented strength, earthquakes, severe droughts and, conversely, flood-like downpours... The cities will present a terrifying sight.

Even those that escape complete destruction, deprived of water and electricity, heat and food supply, they will resemble huge stone coffins, so many people will die. Gangs of bandits will endlessly commit their atrocities, even during the day it will be dangerous to move around the city, but at night people will gather in large groups in order to try to survive together until the morning. The sunrise, alas, will herald not the joy of a new day, but the grief of having to live this day...

China will overwhelm most of Russia..., all the lands beyond the mountains and after them will be yellow. Only the power of the blessed Andrew, his great descendant Alexander and the closest shoots from their root will survive. What has stood will continue to stand. But this does not mean that the Russian Orthodox state will remain within the reign of the Antichrist, no. The name may remain, but the way of life will no longer be Great Russian, not Orthodox. It is not at all the Russian principle that will dominate the life of the Orthodox inhabitants in the past.

The yellow invasion is not the only one. There will be a black invasion - hungry Africans stricken with incurable diseases will fill our cities and villages. And this will be much, much worse than what is happening now due to the dominance of immigrants from the Caucasus, Central Asia... Although these will not leave you with their attention - their number will grow. They will willingly accept everything that is offered to them for lentil stew: they will enter the united “church”, they will accept the Antichrist...

Schema-Archimandrite Seraphim (Tyapochkin) from the village of Rakitnoye describes the future development of events in Russia (1977):

“The biggest tragedy will be the seizure of Siberia by China. This will not happen through military means: the Chinese, due to the weakening of power and open borders, will begin to move en masse to Siberia, buy real estate, enterprises, and apartments. Through bribery, intimidation, and agreements with those in power, they will gradually subjugate the economic life of cities. Everything will happen in such a way that one morning Russian people living in Siberia will wake up... in the Chinese state. The fate of those who remain there will be tragic, but not hopeless. The Chinese will brutally deal with any attempts at resistance.

The West will contribute to this creeping conquest of our land and in every possible way support the military and economic power of China out of hatred of Russia. But then they will see the danger for themselves, and when the Chinese try to seize the Urals by military force and move on, they will prevent this by all means and may even help Russia in repelling the invasion from the East. Russia must survive this battle; after suffering and complete impoverishment, it will find the strength to rise up..."

Four centuries ago, when Russia was close to death at the hands of external enemies and internal turmoil, in the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, a nationwide repentance of the Russian people took place, and the holy Patriarchs Job and Hermogen performed the rite of absolution of their people, the rite of repentance. This repentance helped defeat civil strife and expel foreigners from the Russian land. Then our ancestors learned from bitter experience that true peace in the Russian state can only exist under the autocracy of God’s anointed - Tsar. They accomplished the great feat of conciliar unity in Christ and signed the Charter of the Moscow Zemstvo Council of February 21, 1613. The fathers who compiled the Charter, expressing the conciliar will of Russia, made a vow for themselves and for their descendants: to faithfully serve Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov, the “ancestor” of rulers in Rus' from generation to generation. And in order to prevent the turmoil from recurring, the compilers of the Charter wrote: “And whoever goes against this Council resolution, let him curse himself in this century and the future, do not bring blessings on him from now to eternity.”

Betrayal of the Tsar by the people and thereby renunciation from the Council Oath of 1613 began in 1905. The natural continuation of this was the murder of the Tsar and the fall of the monarchy in Russia. The end of autocracy, the end of Tsarist Russia has come. Because of our renunciation, we were subject to the curse of our ancestors.

FAMOUS PROPHECIES OF THE HOLY ELDERS ABOUT THE FATE OF RUSSIA

Answer The persecution and torment of the first Christians may be repeated... Hell is destroyed, but not destroyed, and the time will come when it will make itself felt. This time is just around the corner...

We will live to see terrible times, but the grace of God will cover us... The Antichrist is clearly coming into the world, but this is not recognized in the world. The whole world is under the influence of some force that takes possession of the mind, will and all spiritual qualities of a person. This is an extraneous force, an evil force. Its source is the devil, and evil people are only the instrument through which it acts. These are the forerunners of the Antichrist.

In the Church we no longer have living prophets, but we do have signs. They are given to us for the knowledge of times. They are clearly visible to people who have a spiritual mind. But this is not recognized in the world. Everyone is going against Russia, that is, against the Church of Christ, for the Russian people are God-bearers, the true faith of Christ is preserved in them.

Venerable Barsanuphius of Optina, 1910

How to understand the prophecies about Russia of Grigory Rasputin?

The last prophecy was made in October 1916, shortly before his death. "There was Russia - there will be a red hole. There was a red hole - there will be a swamp of the wicked who dug a red hole. There was a swamp of the wicked - there will be a dry field, but there will be no Russia, but there will be no hole."

Father, if possible, could you reveal to us the spiritual meaning of these words of Grigory Efimovich.

Answer from Father Oleg Molenko:

I first learned about this prophecy from you in this matter, but my heart immediately accepted it. It is very consonant with the prophecy of another great saint of the Russian land, Elder Theodosius of Jerusalem, also in Min-Vody, who said that Russia has no earthly future, but only a heavenly one.

As for the words of Grigory Rasputin directly, they are true and do not cause any doubt in me. Their meaning is as follows: There was Russia - there will be a red hole - i.e. was an Orthodox country, but will become a death pit for the Bolsheviks and Communists, who declared themselves Red. The swamp of the wicked are all those who, after the communist rule in Russia, will come to power: Yeltsin, Putin. The field is dry - this is the state of the new Russia after the violence of the wicked rulers. This is the unrepentant state of its population, without tears, crying and proper repentance. Next is a conditional prophecy: If there is no Russia, there will be no death pit.

Predictions

Predicting the future is now the province of futurists like Francis Fukuyama. Their “prophecies” are usually based on the most complex fundamental analysis and the latest information technologies. However, in most cases their “foresights” do not come true. On the other hand, the prophetic tradition has existed from time immemorial among the ascetics of Orthodoxy. Of course, the holy fathers did not rely on fundamental analysis and the latest achievements of computer science, but only on Faith in the Lord... Below are some predictions of the holy fathers about Russia and beyond.

Accurate predictions of saints about Russia for 2016

There are many predictions regarding the fate of the world and the future of modern, new Russia. Most prophecies made by different people at different times predict the same events in the first quarter of the 21st century.

The visions of psychics and clairvoyants, the predictions of saints about the future of Russia for 2016 are almost absolutely similar in one thing: the new Russia, having survived horrors and devastation, like a Phoenix bird, will be reborn, rise from the ashes and show the world its greatness. The Lord will have mercy on our Motherland, and at a time when terrible disasters will fall on many powers, Russia will be saved.

Fools were loved in Rus', they were called God's people, and even the rulers listened to the words of holy fools. They said that through the mouth of a baby and a holy fool the truth speaks, and if the fool says something wrong, then there is no point in being offended by him. In essence, foolishness was a special calling, the only way to participate in the social and political life of the state.

It may seem strange to us that the implementation of the rights and freedoms that every citizen in our country has today took such an exotic form. But, once upon a time, attempts to express one’s point of view and reach out to those in power could easily cost a person his freedom, or even his life. So thinking people had to become holy fools in order to tell people the truth under the guise of a “fool.”

It is noteworthy that most of the information that these thinkers uttered was about the future of Russia. These predictions of saints about the future of Russia for the coming 2016 speak of the end of times and the end of the world, of disasters, terrible large-scale wars and the salvation of Russia.

The strong predictions of the saints about Russia relating to 2016 relate primarily to problems of faith. Thus, St. Seraphim of Sarov noted that “before the end of times, Russia will merge into one great sea with other Slavic lands and tribes...”.

Father Aristoklius of Athos said that: “The end will be through China, and Russia will be saved.” Many, many clairvoyants and saints are making prophecies about the salvation of our country when the last times come. It is said that we are now living on the eve of these last times before the Third World War and the reign of the Antichrist.

Saint Aristocles of Athos in his faith speaks about salvation: “After all, even the wing of a fly has weight, but God has precise scales. And when the slightest good outweighs the balance, then God will show His mercy over Russia.” “The Cross of Christ will shine over the whole world, because our Motherland will be magnified and will be like a beacon in the darkness for everyone.”

BLESSED ELDER PELAGEIA OF RYAZAN:

In recent times, for every Christian there will be a hundred or more sorcerers!<...>How many books of sorcery and witchcraft are published all over the world under the leadership of Jews?!

There will be great tribulation when the servants of the Antichrist will deprive the believers food, work, pensions... There will be groaning, crying and much more... Many will die, and only those strong in faith will remain, whom the Lord will choose and will live to see His Second Coming.

When the Lord allows the Antichrist to appear, then the majority of the clergy will immediately convert to another faith, and the people will follow them!
The Antichrist will sacrifice many nations, which Satan will prepare for this, turning them into ruminant cattle!<...>
There will be no food, there will be no water, the heat is unspeakable, the stings of animals, strangled people will hang at every step...<...>
Most people in the world, out of hunger, will accept the seal of the Antichrist; very few will not. This seal will forever seal those who accept it for the grace of repentance, that is, they will never be able to repent and will go to hell!

The Antichrist will only have enough food for those who accepted the seal for six months, and then they will begin a great tribulation, they will begin to seek death and will not find it!

The Russian people will be strangled by all means! And Adventists - the satanic faith - have a green light! There will be so many suicides in our country! More to come! Hunger, and in hunger - cannibalism! War and then choose the Antichrist!

Make every effort so that the Lord will deliver you from the sin of Sodom. Satan will give the command to shame especially the clergy and monasticism with this sin!<...>(This sin) will be spread on a large scale, it is sodomy!

The Antichrist teaching will differ from the Orthodox teaching of Christ only in that it will deny the redemptive Cross! - warned the saint of God Pelagia of Ryazan, - Seventh-day Adventists are the first enemies of the Cross of Christ!

Rich priests crucified the Lord!..
Rich priests overthrew the Tsar!!.
Rich priests will lead us to the Antichrist!!!

There will be three great miracles:
The first miracle - in Jerusalem - the resurrection from the dead of the holy patriarch Enoch and the holy prophet Elijah on the third day after their murder by the Antichrist!

The second miracle is in the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra; St. Sergius will be resurrected after the reign of the Antichrist. He will rise from the shrine, walk in front of everyone to the Assumption Cathedral and then ascend to heaven! There will be a sea of ​​tears here! Then there will be nothing to do in the monastery, there will be no grace!

And the third miracle will be in Sarov. The Lord will resurrect St. Seraphim of Sarov, who will be alive for quite some time. Whoever wishes will see him alive! Oh, how many miracles there will be then!

The relics of the Venerable Father Seraphim are in Moscow with a pious old woman. The Angel of the Lord, when necessary, orders her to turn to the first hierarch and say that she has the relics of St. Seraphim. These holy relics will be carried on the shoulders through Kashira along the Volgograd road through Mikhailov to Tambov, and from there to Sarov. In Sarov, Father Seraphim will rise from the dead!

At the time when his relics are carried, there will be darkness among the people, and a great many sick people will be healed! His resurrection in Sarov will be announced on radio and television, and there will be countless people!

At this time, many foreigners will arrive in Sarov from all over the world: both the priesthood and simply the curious. Everyone will be convinced of the resurrection of St. Seraphim: yes, truly, this is the elder who dedicated himself to God on this earth, in this area! This will be a global wonder!

REVEREND BARSONOPHIUS OF OPTINA:
The whole world is under the influence of some force, which takes possession of the mind, will and all spiritual qualities of a person. This is an extraneous force, an evil force. Its source is the devil, and evil people are only the instrument through which it acts. These are the forerunners of the Antichrist.

In the Church we no longer have living prophets, but we do have signs. They are given to us for the knowledge of times. They are clearly visible to people who have a spiritual mind. But this is not recognized in the world... Everyone is going against Russia, that is, against the Church of Christ, for the Russian people are God-bearers, the true faith of Christ is preserved in them.

REVEREND ANATOLIY OF OPTINSKY:
Heresies will spread everywhere and deceive many. The enemy of the human race will act by cunning in order, if possible, to persuade even the elect to heresy. He will not rudely reject the dogmas of the Holy Trinity, the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the dignity of the Mother of God, but will imperceptibly begin to distort the teachings of the Church transmitted by the Holy Fathers from the Holy Spirit, and its very spirit and statutes, and these tricks of the enemy will be noticed only by a few, the most skilled in spiritual life .

REVEREND THEODOSIUS (KASHIN):
Was it really a war (the Great Patriotic War)? There will be a war. It will start from the east. And then from all sides, like locusts, enemies will crawl towards Russia. This will be a war!

REVEREND KIRILL BELY:
This time is already a rebellion among people (the destruction of the power of the Monarch), there will be great trouble on our land and great wrath on the people, and they will fall by the edge of the sword and will be captured<...>as the Lord showed me.

Now I saw the king sitting on the throne and standing in front of him were two brave youths with royal crowns on their heads. And the Lord gave them weapons in their hands against those opposing them, and their enemies will be defeated, and all nations will worship, and our kingdom will be pacified by God and established. You, brothers and fathers, pray with tears to God and His Most Pure Mother of God for the power of the kingdom of the Russian land.

SCHIARCHIMANDRITE STEPHAN (Athos):
America will soon collapse. It will disappear terribly, completely. Americans will flee, trying to escape to Russia and Serbia. It will be so.

ELDER MATTHEW OF RESTHENES:
This war of the world, perhaps the entire New World Order, against Russia will be terrible in its consequences for humanity, claiming billions of lives. The reason for it will be painfully recognizable - Serbia.<...>After the resurrection of Russia there will be a Third World War and it will begin in Yugoslavia. The winner will be Russia, the Russian Kingdom, which will be able to establish lasting peace and prosperity on earth after the war, although it will not conquer most of the lands of its opponents.

ELDER VISSARION (Optina Pustyn):
There will be something like a coup d'etat in Russia. The Chinese will attack that same year. They will reach the Urals. Then there will be a unification of Russians according to the Orthodox principle...

ELDER NIKOLAY (GURYANOV):

Father Nikolai, who will come after Yeltsin? What should we expect?
- Afterwards there will be a military man.
- Will it be soon?
-...His power will be linear. But his age is short, and so is he.

A prediction found in the ancient Greek books of the Lavra of Sava the Sanctified by the Russian monk Anthony Savait, built on the prophecies of the Holy Fathers from Greek texts:

The last times have not yet arrived, and it is completely wrong to believe that we are on the threshold of the coming of the Antichrist, because the one and last flowering of Orthodoxy is yet to come, this time throughout the world - led by Russia. It will happen after a terrible war, in which either 1/2 or 2/3 of humanity will die and which will be stopped by a voice from heaven.
And the Gospel will be preached throughout the world!

For until now it was not the Gospel of Christ that was preached, but the Gospel distorted by heretics (This refers, of course, to the preaching of the Gospel in the world by Catholics, Protestants and various kinds of sectarians).

There will be a period of global prosperity - but not for long.

In Russia at this time there will be an Orthodox Tsar, whom the Lord will reveal to the Russian people.

And after this, the world will again become corrupted and will no longer be capable of correction, then the Lord will allow the reign of the Antichrist.

ELDER ANTONY

They are called now aliens, somehow, but these are demons. Time will pass, and they will freely reveal themselves to people, being in the service of the Antichrist and his minions. How difficult it will be to fight them then!

PAISIY OF ATHONSKY:

Unfortunately, today people who have no relation to the Church and with absolutely worldly wisdom are being pushed into theology, who say different things and commit impermissible actions, with the goal of deliberately removing Christians from the faith with their position.

When you hear that the Turks are blocking the waters of the Euphrates in the upper reaches with a dam and using them for irrigation, then know that we have already entered into preparations for that great war, and thus the way is being prepared for an army of two hundred million from the rising of the sun, as Revelation says.

Apostasy (retreat) has set in, and now all that remains is for the “son of perdition” to come. (The world) will turn into a madhouse. There will be complete chaos, in the midst of which each state will begin to do whatever it pleases. God grant that the interests of those who make big policies will be in our favor. Every now and then we will hear something new. We will see the most incredible, craziest events happen. (The only good thing is) that these events will replace each other very quickly.

Ecumenism, a common market, one big state, one religion, tailored to their standards. These are the plans of these devils. The Zionists are already preparing someone to be the Messiah. For them, the Messiah will be a king, that is, he will rule here on earth. Jehovah's Witnesses are also waiting for an earthly king. The Zionists will present their king, and the Jehovah's Witnesses will accept him. They will all recognize him as king, they will say: “Yes, it is he.” There will be great turmoil. In this turmoil, everyone will want a king who could save them. And then they will put forward a person who will say: “I am the imam, I am the fifth Buddha, I am the Christ for whom Christians are waiting, I am the one whom the Jehovah’s Witnesses are waiting for, I am the Messiah of the Jews.” He will have five selves.

He will appear to the people of Israel as the messiah and deceive the world. Hard times are coming, great trials await us. Christians will suffer great persecution. Meanwhile, it is obvious that people do not even understand that we are already experiencing the signs of the (end) times, that the seal of the Antichrist is becoming a reality. It's like nothing is happening. Therefore, Holy Scripture says that even the elect will be deceived. Those who do not have a good disposition will not receive enlightenment from God and will be deceived during the years of apostasy. Because the one who does not have Divine Grace does not have spiritual clarity, just as the devil does not have it.<...>

(Zionists) want to rule the world. In order to achieve their goal, they use witchcraft and Satanism. They look at the worship of Satan as a force that will help in the implementation of their plans. Little by little, after introducing cards and identity cards, that is, compiling personal dossiers, they will slyly begin to apply the seal. With the help of various tricks, people will be forced to accept the seal on their forehead or hand. They will give people a hard time and say, “Only use credit cards, money will be abolished.”

In order to buy something, a person will give a card to the seller in a store, and the store owner will receive money from his bank account. Anyone who does not have a card will not be able to sell or buy.

BLESSED JEROME:
One should not think that the Antichrist is either a devil or a demon, but one of the people in whom all Satan has a bodily dwelling.

“...Something that no one expects will happen. Russia will rise from the dead and the whole world will be surprised. Orthodoxy will be reborn and triumph in it...”

Saint Theophan of Poltava

“I ask all Russians to pray for the Tsar! If there is a Tsar in Russia, the Lord will send us great Grace."

Elder Seraphim (Tyapochkin)

Lavrenty Chernigovsky:predictions about a schism in the Ukrainian Church and a warning about loyalty to the Moscow Patriarchate — Prophecies about the future of Russia and Ukraine (Seraphim of Sarov, Anatoly Optinsky (Potapov), John of Kronstadt, Seraphim Vyritsky, Lavrenty of Chernigov, Seraphim Tyapochkin, etc.) - Retreat of the Episcopate - Eighth Ecumenical Council - About the Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II and national repentance for the sin of regicide - About the future Tsar

Lavrenty Chernigovsky about the schism in the Ukrainian Church and loyalty to the Moscow Patriarchate

“When a little freedom appears, churches and monasteries will be opened and they will be repaired, then all the false teachings will come out along with the secret demons and atheists (Catholics, Uniates, Ukrainians - self-saints and others) and will strongly take up arms in Ukraine against the Orthodox Russian Church, its unity and conciliarity. These heretics will be supported by the godless government, and therefore they will take away churches from the Orthodox and beat the faithful.

Then the Kiev Metropolitan (unworthy of this title), together with his like-minded bishops and priests, will greatly shake the Russian Church. The whole world will be surprised at his lawlessness and will be afraid. He himself will go into eternal destruction, just like Judas.

But all these slander of the evil one and false teachings in Russia will disappear, and there will be a United Russian Orthodox Church».

The Monk Lawrence spoke persistently and sternly, with a warning that our native word is Rus and Russian. And you definitely need to know, remember and not forget that there was the Baptism of Rus', and not the baptism of Ukraine. Kyiv is the second Jerusalem and the mother of Russian cities. Kievan Rus was together with Great Russia. Kyiv without great Russia and separately from Russia is unthinkable in any way and under no circumstances...

Venerable Theodosius, abbot of Kiev-Pechersk, wrote that we should not praise the faith of others and should under no circumstances unite with Catholics or abandon the Orthodox Faith. Close in spirit, the great Archbishops Lazar Baranovich and St. Theodosius of Chernigov - his relics are before us (saying this, Father Lawrence bowed to the ground towards the Cathedral), and St. John, Metropolitan of Tobolsk - they tried with all their might according to the word of the Lord Jesus "Let all be one" to be with Orthodox Russia in order to together form Holy Rus'. And in order to be freed forever from Polish rule and from the oppression of the Jews and their tenancy, and to get rid of Catholicism, which is alien to us, and the soul-destroying union, introduced and enforced by threats, torture, violence and death. And Father also said: « Just as it is impossible to divide the Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, this is One God, so it is impossible to divide Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. This is together Holy Rus'. Know, remember and don't forget.

There has never been a Patriarch in the city of Kyiv. The patriarchs were and lived in Moscow. Beware of the self-sacred Ukrainian group (church) and the union”...

“The demon will enter into them and with satanic malice they will take up arms against the Orthodox Faith and the Church, but they will have a shameful end, and their followers will suffer heavenly punishment from the Lord the King of Powers”...

Father warned us to be faithful to the Moscow Patriarchate and under no circumstances join any schism. That those bishops and priests who led faithful people into confusion did great harm to themselves and destroyed many Orthodox souls...

Our long-suffering Church survived in a godless state. To her honor and glory and eternal praise!..

The Free Church is a heretical name. We have all Orthodox churches and monasteries, including closed and desecrated ones.

Only those unworthy of God’s mercy and great sinners go into schism and heresy who don't want to know: “I believe in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church!” And that the Orthodox Church is the Body of Christ (is it possible to divide the Body of Christ?), and, finally, the Church is the unsewn robe of the Lord (which, like Arius, cannot be torn).

And they don’t remember that One God, one faith and one baptism.

The Lord Jesus Christ created one Church (not churches), which even the gates of hell cannot overcome. There is only one Orthodox Church, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Others who call themselves churches are not churches, but the tares of the devil among the wheat and the congregation of the devil.».

With these words, the priest prayed for all those who were lost and apostatized from orthodoxy, began to cry and said: “No, the Lord will not call them to repentance, they will not be saved, for they are unworthy of God’s mercy. This was revealed to me by the Queen of Heaven and the holy Guardian Angel.”

“In them, who are lost and have apostatized from the orthodox faith, there is no grace of the Holy Spirit, salvation and receipt of the Kingdom of Heaven. We, the Orthodox, do not need anything, but only the Orthodox Faith, the salvation of the soul and the receipt of the Kingdom of Heaven, and our Mother, the Russian Orthodox Church, has all this. Thank the Lord! And to break away and depart from it is the greatest and unforgivable sin, either in this life or in the future - this is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.”

Prophecies about the future of Russia and Ukraine

“Everything that is called “Decembrists”, “reformers” and, in a word, belongs to the “life-improving party” is true anti-Christianity, which, as it develops, will lead to the destruction of Christianity on earth and partly Orthodoxy and will end with the reign of the Antichrist over all countries of the world, except Russia, which will merge into one with other Slavic countries and will form a huge ocean of people, before which the other tribes of the earth will be in fear. And this is as true as two and two make four.”*

“There will be a king who will glorify me, after which there will be great unrest in Rus', a lot of blood will flow because they will rebel against this king and his autocracy, all the rebels will die, and God will exalt the king...

They will wait for a time when it will already be very difficult for the Russian Land, and on one day and at one hour, having agreed in advance, they will raise a general rebellion in all places of the Russian Land, and since many of the employees will then themselves participate in their malicious intent, then there will be no one to appease them, and at first a lot of innocent blood will be shed, its rivers will flow across the Russian Land, many nobles, clergy, and merchants who are disposed towards the Sovereign will be killed ... "

Saint Seraphim of Sarov, back in 1832, predicted not only the fall of the Tsar’s power, but also the moment of its restoration and resurrection of Russia: “...But when the Russian Land is divided and one side will clearly remain with the rebels, the other will clearly stand for Sovereign and the Fatherland and the Holy Church - and Sovereign and the Lord will keep the entire Royal family invisible with His right hand and will give complete victory to those who take up arms for him, for the Church and for the good of the indivisibility of the Russian Land - but not so much blood will be shed here as when the right is for Sovereign the emerging side will receive victory and catch all the traitors and deliver them into the hands of Justice, then no one will be sent to Siberia, but everyone will be executed, and here even more blood will be shed, but this blood will be the last, cleansing blood, for after that The Lord will bless His people with peace and exalt His Anointed David, His servant, the Man after His own heart.”**

Holy Righteous John of Kronstadt (1829-1908) about the restoration of Rus' he said: “Russia is in turmoil, suffering and tormented by godlessness and lack of authority. But all-good providence will not leave Russia in this sad and disastrous state. It - providence - righteously punishes Russia and leads to revival. God's righteous destinies are being accomplished over Russia... Be strong, Russia, but also repent, pray, cry bitter tears before your heavenly Father, Whom you have angered immensely...

I foresee the restoration of a powerful Russia, even stronger and more powerful. On the bones of such martyrs, remember,as if on a strong foundation, a new Rus' will be erected - according to the old model; strong in your faith in Christ God and the Holy Trinity! And according to the behest of Holy Prince Vladimir, it will be like a single Church! The Russian people have ceased to understand what Rus' is: it is the foot of the throne of the Lord! A Russian person must understand this and thank God for being Russian.

Do not be afraid and do not be afraid, brothers, let the seditious Satanists console themselves for a moment with their hellish successes: their judgment is from God “It will not touch them, and their destruction will not sleep”(2 Peter 2, 3). The right hand of the Lord will find all those who hate us and will avenge us righteously.“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay” says the Lord (Heb. 10:30). Therefore, let us not give in to despondency, seeing everything that is happening in the world today!

The Lord, like a skilled physician, subjects us to various temptations, sorrows, illnesses and troubles in order to purify us like gold in the crucible. A soul, entrenched in sins of all kinds, does not easily lend itself to cleansing and healing, but with great compulsion and patience, and only through a long experience of patience and suffering, it masters virtue and begins to passionately love God, Whom it was alien, having learned all kinds of carnal sins. This is the purpose of the troubles and sorrows sent to us by God in this life. They are needed both by individuals and by entire people mired in wickedness and vices. The Russian people and other tribes inhabiting Russia are deeply corrupted, the crucible of temptation and disaster is necessary for everyone, and the Lord, who does not want anyone to perish, burns everyone in this crucible.”*

“Return, Russia, to your holy, immaculate, saving, victorious faith and to the holy Church - your mother - and you will be victorious and glorious, as in the old believing times...

There is no doubt that all Russians who have fallen away from the faith and the Church will be broken like clay pots (meager vessels - ps. 2), if they do not convert and repent, and the Church remains unshakable until the end of the age...

Hold fast, Russia, to your faith and the Church and the Orthodox Tsar, if you want to be unshakable by people of unbelief and anarchy and do not want to lose the kingdom and the Orthodox Tsar. And if you fall away from your faith, as many intellectuals have already fallen away from it, then you will no longer be Russia, or Holy Russia, but a rabble of all sorts of infidels seeking to destroy each other. Remember the words of Christ to the unfaithful Jews: the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to the tongue ( to the people), who produces its fruits (Matt. 21:42-43).

Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name in Russia! Plant true, life-giving faith in her! Let it be reigning and dominant in Russia, and not equated with other confessions and infidels. Let this equation not exist with the infidels who do not have the true confession! Truth cannot be compared with lies, nor the truth of faith with false confessions. “The truth of the Lord endures forever”(Ps. 116, 2)"**.

1855- 1922 ) back in February 1917 he predicted: “There will be a storm, and the Russian ship will be destroyed. But people are saved on chips and debris. And yet, not everyone will die. We must pray, we must all repent and pray fervently... A great miracle of God will be revealed, yes... and all the chips and fragments, by the will of God and by His power, will gather and unite and the ship will be recreated in its beauty and will go its way, intended by God. So this will be a miracle obvious to everyone. (“Life, prophecies, akathists and canons to the holy royal martyrs.” Autocratic Rus', 2005).

…Heresies are spreading everywhere and will deceive many. The enemy of the human race will act by cunning in order, if possible, to persuade even the elect to heresy. He will not rudely reject the dogmas of the Holy Trinity, the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the dignity of the Mother of God, but will imperceptibly begin to distort the teaching of the Church, transmitted by the Holy Fathers from the Holy Spirit, and its very spirit, and the statutes, and these tricks of the enemy will be noticed only by a few, the most skilled in spiritual life . Heretics will take power over the Church, they will place their servants everywhere and piety will be neglected. He (the Lord) said: “...You will know by their fruits,” and so you, by these fruits or, what is also, by the actions of heretics, try to distinguish them from the true shepherds. These are spiritual thieves (thieves) who plunder the spiritual flock, and they will enter the sheepfold - the Church, by crawling in other ways: as the Lord said, that is, they will enter by illegal means, using violence and trampling on God's statutes. The Lord calls them thieves (John 10:1). Really. Their first task will be the persecution of true shepherds, their imprisonment, exile, because without this they will not be able to plunder the sheep (flock). Therefore, my son, when you see a violation of the Divine order in the Church, the fatherly tradition and the order established by God, know that heretics have already appeared, although, perhaps, they will hide their wickedness for the time being or will distort the Divine faith imperceptibly, so as to further be in time, seducing and luring inexperienced people online. Persecution will be not only against shepherds, but also against all servants of God, for the demon leading heresy will not tolerate piety. Recognize them, these wolves in sheep's clothing, by their proud disposition and love of power. There will be slanderers, traitors, sowing enmity and malice everywhere, which is why the Lord said that you will recognize them by their fruits. True servants of God are humble, brotherly loving, obedient to the Church. Great oppression will come from heretics to monks and monastic life will then be reproached. The monasteries will become impoverished, the number of monks will be reduced, and those who remain will endure violence. However, these haters of monastic life, having only the appearance of piety, will try to win the monks to their side, promising them protection and worldly blessings, and threatening them with expulsion for disobedience. From these threats the faint-hearted will then feel great despondency, but you, my son, rejoice when you live to see this time, for then believers who have not shown other virtues will receive crowns for standing in faith alone according to the word of the Lord (Matthew 10, 3). Fear the Lord my son, be afraid of losing the prepared crown, of being rejected from Christ into utter darkness and eternal torment, stand courageously in the faith, and if necessary, joyfully endure exile and other sorrows, for the Lord will be with you... and the holy martyrs and confessors, they are with They will look at your feat with joy. But woe will be in those days for the monks who have pledged themselves with property and wealth, and for the love of peace are ready to submit to heretics. They will lull their conscience, saying: “We will preserve and save the monastery and the Lord will forgive us.” The unfortunate and blind do not at all think that demons will enter the monastery with heresy, and then it will no longer be a holy monastery, but simple walls from which grace will retreat. But God is stronger than the enemy and He will never leave His servants, and true Christians will remain until the end of this age, only they will choose solitary, deserted places. Do not be afraid of sorrow, but be afraid of destructive heresy, for it strips you of grace and separates you from Christ.. This is why the Lord commanded that a heretic be considered a pagan and a tax collector. So, my son, be strengthened in the grace of Christ Jesus, with joy hasten by the feat of confession to endure suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Tim. 11: 1-3), who predicted - Be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life(Rev. 2:10). To him, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory and power forever and ever. Amen".

Venerable Seraphim Vyritsky(1866-1949):

A thunderstorm will pass over the Russian land,
The Lord will forgive the sins of the Russian people.
And the Holy Cross with Divine beauty
It will shine brightly over the temple of God again.
And the ringing of bells throughout our Holy Rus'
He will awaken from the sleep of sin to salvation.
Holy monasteries will be reopened
And faith in God will unite everyone.
Formidable adversities will subside,
Russia will defeat its enemies,
And the name of the great Russian people
Like thunder will roar throughout the universe.

The time will come when there will be spiritual flourishing in Russia. Many churches and monasteries will open, even people of other faiths will come to us to be baptized on such ships. But this won’t last long—about fifteen years, then the Antichrist will come.

He said that when the East gains strength, everything will become unstable. Numbers are on their side, but not only that: they employ sober and hardworking people, but we have such drunkenness...

They also told how the elder said: “The East will be baptized in Russia. The whole heavenly world is praying for the enlightenment of the East.

The time will come when Russia will be torn apart. First they will divide it, and then they will begin to rob the wealth. The West will in every possible way contribute to the destruction of Russia and will give up its eastern part to China for the time being. The Far East will be taken over by the Japanese, and Siberia by the Chinese, who will begin to move to Russia, marry Russians and, in the end, by cunning and deceit, will take the territory of Siberia to the Urals. When China wants to go further, the West will resist and will not allow it.

Many countries will take up arms against Russia, but it will survive, losing most of its lands. This war, which the Holy Scriptures narrate and the prophets speak about, will become the reason for the unification of mankind. People will understand that it is impossible to live like this any longer, otherwise all living things will die, and They will choose a unified government - this will be the threshold of the reign of the Antichrist.

Then the persecution of Christians will begin; When trains from cities leave for the depths of Russia, we must hurry to be among the first, since many of those who remain will die.

The time of lies and evil is coming. It will be so hard, so bad, so scary that God forbid we live to see that time. You and I won't live long enough.

…If the Russian people do not come to repentance, it may happen that brother will rise up against brother again…

How much grace the Lord has given to Russia - what forests, lakes, rivers, and rich bowels of the earth. But we live without God, and the earth is a mother, she gives bread and life. Our enemies and the atheistic government will not allow people to return to the earth for a long time. You can feed everyone and arrange everything, but it is not profitable for the enemies - they are afraid of a revived Russia. And yet Russia will live from its land.”

Elder of the Glinsk Hermitage Hieromonk Porfiry (1868):“...Over time, faith in Russia will fall. The brilliance of earthly glory will blind the mind, the words of truth will be reproached, but for the faith, people unknown to the world will rise up from among the people and restore what has been trampled upon».

Elder Barnabas of Gethsemane(1831-1906): “But when it becomes unbearable to endure, then liberation will come. And the time will come to flourish. Temples will begin to be built again. There will be blossoming before the end.” (Quotes from the book: “Russia before the Second Coming”, compiled by S. Fomin. Publication of the Holy Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, 1993).

Venerable Lavrentiy of Chernigov (1868-1950):“The Russian people will repent of their mortal sins, that they allowed the Jewish wickedness in Russia, that they did not protect the Anointed Tsar of God, the Orthodox churches and monasteries, the host of Martyrs and Confessors of saints and all Russian saints. They despised piety and loved demonic wickedness. And that for many years they praised, and pleased, and went to worship the destroyer of the country - the Soviet-godless idol, as well as the idol Stalin, considering his name immortal.”

Father said that when Lenin was dragged into hell by demons, then the demons had great rejoicing, triumph in hell. And he also added that when Stalin comes to hell, the same thing will happen. Their memory will perish with noise.

Russia, together with all the Slavic peoples and lands, will form a powerful Kingdom. He will be cared for by the Orthodox Tsar, God’s Anointed One. The king will be from God. All schisms and heresies will disappear in Russia. There will be no persecution of the Orthodox Church. The Lord will have mercy on Holy Rus' because it had a terrible and terrible time before the Antichrist. The great regiment of Martyrs and Confessors shone forth, starting from the highest spiritual and civil rank. Metropolitan and Tsar, priest and monk, baby and even infant, ending with a worldly person. They all pray to the Lord God, the King of Powers, the King of Reigns, in the Most Holy Trinity, the glorified Father and Son and Holy Spirit.

You need to know for sure that Russia is the lot of the Queen of Heaven, and She cares about it and intercedes for it purely. The entire host of Russian Saints and the Mother of God ask to spare Russia.

In Russia there will be prosperity of the Orthodox Faith and the former rejoicing, only for a short time, for the Terrible Judge will come to judge the living and the dead.

Even the Antichrist himself will be afraid of the Russian Orthodox Tsar.

Under the Antichrist, Russia will be the most powerful Kingdom in the world. And all other countries, except Russia and the Slavic lands, will be under the rule of the Antichrist and will experience all the horrors and torments described in the Holy Scriptures. Russia, repent! Glorify God with rejoicing and sing to Him: Alleluia.”

Elder Seraphim (Tyapochkin) about Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

Elder Seraphim (Tyapochkin) (1894-1982) g He spoke about what was revealed to him about the future of Russia, he did not name dates, he only emphasized that the time for the fulfillment of what was said was in the hands of God, and much depended on how the spiritual life of the Russian Church would develop, how strong the faith in God would be among the Russian people , what will be the prayer feat of believers...

Russia must survive this battle; after suffering and complete impoverishment, it will find the strength to rise up. AND the coming revival will begin in the lands conquered by enemies, among the Russians who remained in the former republics of the Union. There, the Russian people will realize what they have lost, recognize themselves as citizens of the Fatherland that still lives, and will want to help it rise from the ashes. Many Russians living abroad will help restore life in Russia... Many of those who can escape from persecution and persecution will return to their ancestral Russian lands to replenish abandoned villages, cultivate neglected fields, and use the remaining undeveloped mineral resources. The Lord will send help, and, despite the fact that the country will lose its main deposits of raw materials, they will find both oil and gas on Russian territory, without which a modern economy is impossible.

The elder said that the Lord would allow the loss of the vast lands given to Russia, because we ourselves could not use them worthily, but only dirtied them, spoiled them... But the Lord will leave behind Russia those lands that became the cradle of the Russian people and were the basis of the Great Russian state. This is the territory of the Grand Duchy of Moscow of the 16th century with access to the Black, Baltic and Northern Seas. Russia will not be rich, but it will still be able to feed itself and force itself to be taken into account.

To the question: “ What will happen to Ukraine and Belarus?? the elder replied that everything is in God’s hands. Those, Those in these nations who are against the union with Russia - even if they consider themselves believers - become servants of the devil. The Slavic peoples have a common destiny, and the venerable Fathers of the Kiev-Pechersk will still say their weighty word - they, together with the host of new martyrs of Russia, will pray for a new Union of three fraternal peoples.

On the possibility of restoring the monarchy in Russia - with The Tarets replied that this restoration must be earned. It exists as a possibility, not as a predetermination. If we are worthy, the Russian people will choose a Tsar, but this will become possible just before the reign of the Antichrist or even after it - for a very short time.

Retreat of the Episcopate

Seraphim of Sarov Lifetime portrait

Venerable Seraphim of Sarov (1759-1833):“To me, poor Seraphim, the Lord revealed that there will be great disasters on the Russian land, the Orthodox faith will be trampled upon, the bishops of the Church of God and other clergy will depart from the purity of Orthodoxy, and for this the Lord will severely punish them. I, poor Seraphim, prayed to the Lord for three days and three nights that He would rather deprive me of the Kingdom of Heaven and have mercy on them. But the Lord answered: “I will not have mercy on them: for they teach the doctrines of men, and with their lips they honor Me, but their heart is far from Me” (Mt. 15:7-9).

...I, poor Seraphim, am destined by the Lord God to live much more than a hundred years. But since by that time the Russian bishops will have become so wicked that their wickedness will surpass the Greek bishops during the time of Theodosius the Younger, so even the most important dogma of the Christian Faith - The Resurrection of Christ and the General Resurrection will no longer believe, then therefore the Lord God willed until the time of me, poor Seraphim, to take from this temporary life and then in support of the dogma of the resurrection, resurrect me, and my resurrection will be like the resurrection of the seven youths in the Okhlonskaya cave during the time of Theodosius the Young" ( Quotes from the book: “Russia before the Second Coming,” compiled by S. Fomin. Publication of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, 1993.).

Eighth Ecumenical Council

Hieromonk Nektary (Tikhonov) Optinsky (+1928) to the question “Will there be a union of the Churches?”- answered: “No, only an Ecumenical Council could do this, but there will be no more Council. There were 7 Councils, like 7 Sacraments, 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit. For our century, the completeness of the number is 7. The number of the future century is 8. Only individuals will join our Church...”

Archbishop Feofan of Poltava (1873-1940):“I don’t know anything yet about the Eighth Ecumenical Council. I can tell only in the words of a saint Theodora Studita: « Not every meeting of bishops is a council, but only a meeting of bishops who stand in the Truth" A truly ecumenical council does not depend on the number of bishops gathered for it, but on whether it will philosophize or teach “Orthodoxly.” If he deviates from the truth, he will not be universal, even if he calls himself by the name of universal. “The famous “robber council” was at one time more numerous than many ecumenical councils, and yet it was not recognized as ecumenical, but received the name “robber council”!..”*

Prediction Hieroschemamonk Kuksha of Odessa (1875-1964): « Soon there will be an ecumenical Council called “holy”. But this will be the same eighth Council that will a bunch of godless people. On it all faiths will unite into one. Then all posts will be abolished, monasticism will be completely destroyed, bishops will be married.

The New Calendar will be introduced in the Universal Church. Be carefull. Try to visit God's temples while they are still ours. Soon it will be impossible to go there, everything will change. Only a select few will see this. People will be forced to go to church, but we will not have to go there under any circumstances.

I pray you, stand in the Orthodox faith until the end of your days and be saved!”**

About the Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II and national repentance for the sin of regicide

“...Russia entered its way of the cross on the day when it stopped openly praying for the Tsar”

Archpriest Sergius Bulgakov

Venerable Anatoly of Optina (Potapov) (1855- 1922 ) Prince N.D. Zhevakhov before the latter’s appointment to the post of Comrade Chief Prosecutor of the Holy Synod (1916) : “There is no greater sin than resistance to the will of God’s Anointed... Take care of Him, for through Him the Russian land and the Orthodox Faith are held together... But...”

Father Anatoly became thoughtful, and tears appeared in his eyes; excited, he completed the unspoken thought by saying: “The fate of the Tsar is the fate of Russia. The Tsar will rejoice, and Russia will rejoice. The Tsar will cry, and Russia will cry... Just as a man with a cut off head is no longer a man, but a stinking corpse, so Russia without the Tsar will be a stinking corpse" (“Russia before the Second Coming”, compiled by S. Fomin. Publication of the Holy Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, 1993 G.)

Holy Righteous John of Kronstadt(1829-1908) said in 1905 about Sovereign Nicholas II: “Our Tsar has a righteous and pious life. God sent Him a heavy cross of suffering, as His chosen one and beloved child, as the seer of God’s destinies said: “Those whom I love, I rebuke and punish” (Rev. 3:19). If there is no repentance among the Russian people, the end of the world is near. God will take away his pious king and send a scourge in the face of wicked, cruel, self-proclaimed rulers who will flood the whole earth with blood and tears.

The Russian kingdom is wavering, tottering, close to falling, and if Russia is not cleansed of the many tares, then it will become desolate, like the ancient kingdoms and cities, wiped off the face of the earth by God’s justice for their godlessness and their iniquities.” (“Life, prophecies, akathists and canons to the holy royal martyrs.” Autocratic Rus', 2005, pp. 40, 20).

“Where does this anarchy come from, these strikes, robberies, murders, thefts, this public immorality, this reigning debauchery, this indiscriminate drunkenness? From unbelief, from godlessness... On the basis of unbelief, cowardice, and immorality, the state disintegrates. Without instilling faith and fear of God in the population of Russia, it cannot stand. Hurry up with repentance to God! Rather, to the firm and unshakable refuge of faith and the Church!

Faith in the word of God, the word of truth, disappeared and was replaced by faith in human reason, the press for the most part lied - for it there was nothing sacred and venerable except its own crafty pen often saturated with the poison of slander and ridicule. There was no more obedience of children to parents, students to teachers… Marriages are broken, family life is falling apart; There is no solid policy, everyone is politicking... everyone wants autonomy... The intelligentsia has lost their love for the Motherland, and they are ready to sell it to foreigners, how Judas sold Christ to the evil scribes and Pharisees... The enemies of Russia are preparing the disintegration of the state...

The Fatherland is on the verge of destruction. What can we expect ahead if such lack of faith, such corruption of morals, such lack of leadership continues? Will Christ come to earth again? Will they crucify and die for us again? No - it’s complete to mock God, complete trampling on His holy laws. He will come soon, but he will come to judge the world and give to everyone according to their deeds....A person who calls himself a Christian, come to your senses, return to faith, to common sense, to the word of God...

Woe to you - crafty, rebellious, ungrateful person! All the current disasters that have befallen Russia have befallen it because of you! But look, the day of your righteous, terrible eternal reward will soon come. Shake, tremble, man, unworthy of this great name, and soon await the righteous judgment of God.

Return, Russia, to your holy, immaculate, saving, victorious faith and to the holy Church - your mother - and you will be victorious and glorious, as in the old believing times. Completely rely on your arrogant, darkened mind. Fight all evil given to you by God with the weapons of holy faith, Divine wisdom and truth, prayer, piety, the cross, courage, devotion and fidelity of your sons” (Quotes from the book: “Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga John “Be faithful to death. Orthodoxy and modernity". M.: "Prosvet", "New Book", 1993).

Elder Nikolai (Guryanov) about the Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II: “Think about it, in our Rus' the Tsar is called Father-Tsar, Father... And who else is called Father, Father? - The priest! This is how they address a clergyman, a priest. The Tsar is a personality and a spiritual person!.. Special beauty in the Tsar, spiritual beauty is simplicity and humility...

He who loves the Tsar and Russia loves God... If a person does not love the Tsar and Russia, he will never sincerely love God. This will be a crafty lie...

Russia will not rise until it realizes who our Russian Tsar Nicholas was... Without true repentance there is no true glorification of the Tsar. The Lord will not grant Russia a new Tsar until we sincerely repent for allowing the Gentiles to denigrate and ritually torture the Royal Family. There must be spiritual awareness... The Lord will grant Russia a Tsar only after deep general repentance... Holy Rus' has never died and will never die!

Tsar Nicholas never parted with the Jesus Prayer. She kept him from troubles and misfortunes. It was she, this prayer, that gave him spiritual intelligence and divine wisdom, enlightened his heart and guided him, admonishing him on what to do.

The prayer of Saint Tsar Nicholas averts the wrath of God. We must ask the Tsar so that there is no war. He loves and pities Russia. If you only knew how he cries for us there! He begs the Lord for everyone and for the whole world. The Tsar cries for us, but the people don’t even think about Him!... Such misunderstanding and lack of repentance do not heal the wounds on the body of Russia. We must pray, fast and repent...

Russia must realize that without God there is no way, without a Tsar it is like without a father.

The people are sleeping, the clergy is sleeping. It is better to talk to a pillar than to another priest. Don't sleep, Orthodox Christians! You cannot sleep spiritually and not see what is happening to everyone - to the Church and to the country. The king prays for us and waits for us to change...

Lord, what is this! I had to repent! How should one repent in the Church? - Serve the Liturgy, ask, implore the Lord, and everyone goes with prayer to repentance and confession. To say: we have sinned against the humblest and meekest King. Lord, forgive and help the suffering Russian people. If people repented, they would understand that without the Tsar there is no Russia...

Tsar Nicholas is an innocent sufferer for the Russian throne, handed to him by the Lord. The Tsar is the guardian and master of dear Rus'. As the Holy Chosen One was tortured, all of Russia is covered with countless crosses and suffers and suffers until it wakes up and comes to its senses.

The king left, forgiving us all, and we must ask him and the Lord for forgiveness. Tsar Father Nicholas loved the Russian people very, very much...

God! What did they do to Him! What unimaginable torment he suffered from the monsters! Scary to see! Not to tell! They burned them and drank the ashes...

The monsters not only tortured the Tsar, but also sacrificed the image and likeness of Christ the Lord as a ritual sacrifice.. And this is a deep, grave sin that cries out to heaven. Remember, they slaughtered Rus' with the Tsar. They have satanic malice.

How they were tortured! Do not forget: The Royal Martyr saved us with his sufferings. If it were not for the torment of the Tsar, Russia would not exist! The Tsar was very sorry and loved Russia and saved it with his torment. He sacrificed his heir Alexei, the joy and consolation of his heart.

The Tsarevich grieves, looking at Rus'... But how can one not grieve? What reproaches and insults he sees against the Tsar, the Queen and Elder Gregory. Alexey knows his holiness like no one else. The prayer of the martyr Gregory saved the prince from death so many times, healed him... Gregory prayed for Rus', and the Lord heard him..." (According to the book: "Life, prophecies, akathists and canons to the holy royal martyrs." Autocratic Rus', 2005, p. 32 -34).

About the future Tsar

“The Lord will not grant Russia a new Tsar until we sincerely repent for allowing the Gentiles to denigrate and ritually torture the Royal Family. There must be spiritual awareness... The Lord will grant Russia a Tsar only after deep general repentance..."

Elder Nikolai (Guryanov)

Saint Philaret of Moscow(1783-1867) : « The people who honor the king please God through this, because the King is God’s dispensation.

The strength of the sovereign is in fidelity to God, the strength of the state is in fidelity and devotion to its sovereign».

Saint Theophan of Poltava (1873-1940), confessor of the royal family:“Oh, Russia, Russia!.. How terribly she sinned before the goodness of the Lord. The Lord God was pleased to give Russia something that he had never given to any other people on earth. And these people turned out to be so ungrateful. He left Him, denied Him, and therefore the Lord handed him over to the demons for torment. Demons entered the souls of people and the people of Russia became possessed, literally possessed. And all the terrible things we hear about what was happening and is happening in Russia: about all the blasphemies, about militant atheism and fighting against God - all this comes from demonic possession. But this obsession will pass through the ineffable mercy of God, and the people will be healed. The people will turn to repentance and faith. Something that no one expects will happen. Russia will rise from the dead and the whole world will be surprised. Orthodoxy will be reborn and triumph in it. But the Orthodoxy that existed before will no longer exist. The great elders said that Russia would be reborn, the people themselves would restore the Orthodox Monarchy. God Himself will place a strong King on the Throne. He will be a great reformer and he will have a strong Orthodox faith. He will overthrow the unfaithful hierarchs of the Church, he himself will be an outstanding personality, with a pure, holy soul. He will have a strong will. He will come from the Romanov dynasty on his mother's side. He will be God's chosen one, obedient to Him in everything. He will transform Siberia. But this Russia will not last long. Soon there will be what the Apostle John speaks about in the Apocalypse.” ( Quote from the book: “Confessor of the royal family. Saint Theophan of Poltava, New Recluse. Spaso-Preobrazhensky Mgarsky Monastery, 2007,” pp. 138-139).

Venerable Abel (Vasiliev) Seer of St. Petersburgabout the future Tsar: “And the Great Prince, who stands for the sons of his people, will arise in exile from your House. This will be God's chosen one, and His blessing will be on His Head. He will be united and understandable to everyone; the Russian heart itself will sense Him. His appearance will be Sovereign and Bright, and no one will say: “The King is here or there,” but: “This is He.” The will of the people will submit to the mercy of God, and He Himself will confirm His calling: His name is destined three times over in Russian History. The two Namesakes were already on the Throne, but not the Royal Throne. He will sit on Tsarsky as the Third. In it lies the salvation and happiness of the Russian state. There would be different paths to the Russian mountain again : And barely audibly, as if afraid that the walls of the Palace would overhear the secret, Abel gave the name. Fear for the sake of dark power, let this name remain hidden until time..."

Nowadays, scientists themselves, futurologists, various modern psychics and even ordinary people are trying to predict the future. But what did the holy elders predict about Russia in the distant past and to our present time? Let's take a look at their presentation below:

Venerable Seraphim of Sarov, 1825-32

“Before the end of times, Russia will merge into one great sea with the other lands and Slavic tribes, it will form one sea or that huge universal ocean of the people, about which the Lord God spoke from ancient times through the mouth of all the saints: “The formidable and invincible Kingdom of All-Russian, All-Slavic - Gog and Magog , before whom all nations will stand in awe.” And all this is the same as two and two are four, and certainly, like God is holy, who from ancient times foretold about him and his terrible dominion over the earth. With the united forces of Russia and other nations, Constantinople and Jerusalem will be captured. When Turkey is divided, almost all of it will remain with Russia...”

Saint Theophan the Recluse, 1890s

“How many signs the Lord showed over Russia, delivering it from its strongest enemies and subduing its peoples! And yet, evil is growing. Will we really not come to our senses?

The Lord has punished us and will punish us with the West, but we don’t understand everything. We got stuck in Western mud up to our ears, and everything was fine. We have eyes, but we don’t see, we have ears, but we don’t hear, and we don’t understand with our hearts... Having inhaled this hellish frenzy into ourselves, we spin around like crazy, not remembering ourselves. If we don’t come to our senses, God will send us foreign teachers to bring us to our senses... It turns out that we too are on the path of revolution. These are not empty words, but a deed affirmed by the voice of the Church. Know, Orthodox, that God cannot be mocked.”

Holy Venerable Seraphim Vyritsky, early 20th century

“The time will come when not persecution, but money and the charms of this world will turn people away from God and many more souls will perish than during the times of open fight against God. On the one hand, they will erect crosses and gild domes, and on the other, the kingdom of lies and evil will come. The True Church will always be persecuted, and it will be possible to be saved only through sorrows and illnesses. The persecution will take on the most unpredictable and sophisticated character. But the salvation of the world comes from Russia.”

Schieromonk Aristoklius of Athos. 1917-18

“Now we are living through the pre-Antichrist time. God's judgment on the living has begun and there will not be a single country on earth, not a single person who will not be affected by this. It started with Russia, and then further... And Russia will be saved. There is a lot of suffering, a lot of torment... All of Russia will become a prison, and we must beg the Lord a lot for forgiveness. Repent of sins and be afraid to commit even the slightest sins, but try to do good, even the smallest. After all, the wing of a fly has weight, but God has precise scales. And when the slightest good outweighs the balance, then God will show His mercy over Russia...

The end will be through China. There will be some kind of unusual explosion, and a miracle of God will appear. And life will be completely different on earth, but not for very long. The Cross of Christ will shine over the whole world, because our Motherland will be magnified and will be like a beacon in the darkness for everyone.”

Bishop John of Shanghai, 1938

“Shake off the sleep of despondency and laziness, sons of Russia! Behold the glory of her suffering and be cleansed, washed from your sins! Strengthen yourself in the Orthodox faith so that you may be worthy to dwell in the dwelling of the Lord and move into the holy mountain. Arise, arise, arise, Rus', you who drank from the hand of the Lord the cup of His wrath! When your suffering is over, your righteousness will go with you, and the glory of the Lord will follow you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the radiance rising above you. Then lift up your eyes around and see: behold, your children will come to you from the west, and the north, and the sea, and the east, blessing Christ in you forever!”

Venerable Anatoly of Optina, early 20th century

“There will be a storm. And the Russian ship will be destroyed. But people also save themselves on chips and debris. And yet not everyone will die. We must pray, we must all repent and pray fervently... A great miracle of God will be revealed... And all the chips and fragments, by the will of God and His power, will gather and unite, and the ship will be recreated in all its glory and will go its way, intended by God..."

Saint Theophan of Poltava, 1930

“The monarchy and autocratic power will be restored in Russia. The Lord chose the future king. This will be a man of fiery faith, a brilliant mind and an iron will. First of all, he will restore order in the Orthodox Church, removing all untrue, heretical and lukewarm bishops. And many, very many, with few exceptions, almost all will be eliminated, and new, true, unshakable bishops will take their place... Something that no one expects will happen. Russia will rise from the dead, and the whole world will be surprised. Orthodoxy will be reborn and triumph in it. But the Orthodoxy that existed before will no longer exist. God Himself will place a strong king on the throne.”

Paisiy Svyatogorets, Athonite elder. 1990s

“My thoughts tell me that many events will happen: the Russians will occupy Turkey, Turkey will disappear from the map, because a third of the Turks will become Christians, a third will die in the war and a third will go to Mesopotamia... A great war will take place in Constantinople between the Russians and Europeans, and a lot will be shed blood. Greece will not play a leading role in this war, but Constantinople will be given to it. Not because the Russians will revere the Greeks, but because a better solution cannot be found... The Greek army will not have time to get there before the city will be given to it.”

Joseph, Athonite elder, Vatopedi monastery. year 2001

“Now is the beginning of events, difficult military events... The devil will force the Turks to finally come here to Greece and begin their actions. And although Greece has a government, it actually doesn’t exist as such, because it has no power. And the Turks will come here. This will be the moment when Russia will also move its forces to push back the Turks. Events will develop like this: when Russia comes to the aid of Greece, the Americans and NATO will try to prevent this, so that there is no reunification, a merger of two Orthodox peoples... There will be a big massacre on the territory of the former Byzantine Empire. There will be about 600 million people killed alone. The Vatican will also actively participate in all this in order to prevent the reunification and increasing role of Orthodoxy. But this will result in the complete destruction of Vatican influence, right down to its very foundations. This is how God’s Providence will turn... There will be God’s permission so that those who sow temptations are destroyed: pornography, drug addiction, etc. And the Lord will so blind their minds that they will destroy each other with gluttony. The Lord will allow this on purpose to carry out a great cleansing. As for the one who rules the country, he will not be around for long, and what is happening now will not be for long, and then immediately there will be war. But after this great purge there will be a revival of Orthodoxy not only in Russia, but throughout the world, a great surge of Orthodoxy.”
