What year was the third world war. "A third world war is inevitable, but there will be no direct clash"

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that a third world war could lead to "the end of civilization."

This statement was made during the annual television program Direct Line with Vladimir Putin, where the president answers questions from journalists and citizens from all over Russia.

When asked if there would be a third world war, Putin quoted Albert Einstein as saying: "I don't know how the third world war will be fought, but the fourth will be fought with stones and sticks."

He continued: “We have been living in relative peace since World War II. Regional wars constantly break out here and there ... but there were no global conflicts. Why? Because strategic parity has been established between the leading military powers in the world. And no matter how it sounds, what I will say now, it may sound unpleasant, but it is true: the fear of mutual destruction always restrained ... the leading military powers from sudden movements and forced them to respect each other.

But then Putin said that current trends threaten to end the relative peace we have been living in since the end of World War II.

Many analysts agree that, paradoxically, nuclear arsenals have led mankind to an era of relative peace. The American astronomer Carl Sagan said about this: "The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing chest-deep in gasoline, but one had three matches in his hands, and the other had five." There will be no winners in a big nuclear war. The idea of ​​being the first to throw a match into gasoline is counterintuitive. As Putin said, fear keeps the nuclear powers from confronting each other.

But the problem is that a person does not always think sensibly, especially in wartime.

For this reason, Herbert W. Armstrong, often referred to by world leaders as the unofficial ambassador of world peace, explained that belief in nuclear deterrence and deterrence is wrong. Speaking on March 12, 1981, on the World Tomorrow program, he said:

Now we just rely on the idea and hope, we believe in man, we believe that there are no fools who would start a nuclear war. But do you really believe in a person that much? Me not. Do you know that there is not a single type of weapon of mass destruction that has not been used? And we have already used nuclear annihilation in Japan, killing about 100,000 people with a single atomic bomb. Now, hydrogen bombs are so powerful that atomic bombs only power them, initiating an explosion.

Context

Good Putin and his bad boyars

There will be no third world?

Churchill was preparing a third world war against the USSR

Can the US win WW3?

Biblical prophecy indicates that nuclear weapons will be used in large numbers in World War III.

Sitting about 2,000 years ago on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, the disciples of Jesus Christ asked him, “Tell us, when will that be? And what is the sign of your coming and the end of the age?” (Gospel of Matthew, 24:3)

The disciples asked about the end of the era of humanity, which will destroy itself. Putin called this era “civilization” in his speech.

The disciples wanted to know when human civilization would end and when Christ's reign over mankind would begin. They asked him what events would lead to this momentous turning point.

Jesus gave them a detailed answer.

He explained that before his coming, many will be victims of religious deception (lines 4-5). He also said that people would hear "of wars and rumors of war", of fierce international tensions, of "strikes, seas and earthquakes in places" (lines 6-7). These are all preliminary signs, but they do not mean that the end of the human age is near. Christ said, "For all these things must be, but this is not the end."

Further, Christ speaks of an event that will take place, but will not mean that the end of the human age is imminent - and that his return is near: “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, and will not be. And if those days had not been shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.”

At the time when Christ spoke these words on the Mount of Olives, a world war threatening to destroy "all peoples" was technically impossible.

But today, when nuclear weapons are spreading around the world, a war that can destroy all life on our planet is not only possible, but also very likely. “Humanity has never been in such a position before,” said British Prime Minister Winston Churchill after World War II. Without reaching a much higher level of virtue and without much wiser guidance, people for the first time got their hands on such tools with which they can destroy all of humanity without a miss.

Mankind has been able to destroy itself only in the modern era. This suggests that many of the key biblical prophecies about World War III are only possible in our nuclear age. The “Great Tribulation such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now” predicted in the Gospel is precisely what we today call the third world war.

But while we are watching the approach of a global conflict, we have reason for great hope! Christ says that the world war at the end of this age will be so destructive that it will kill all life. However, he then adds one important detail in line 22: "But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."

World War III will be stopped! Before humanity completely destroys itself with powerful weapons, Jesus Christ will stop the war. Immediately after the era of unprecedented destruction, he will begin a new era of unprecedented peace.

In his article “Nuclear Armageddon Is At the Door,” Trumpet Editor-in-Chief Gerald Flurry writes about how close this era of peace is: “Christ is coming at every door. He will indeed return. He will rule this world, and at a great turning point in the history of man, he will show people how to succeed and build an earthly paradise.

Understanding how close we are to this bright future gives us perspectives that fill us with deep hope.

The materials of InoSMI contain only assessments of foreign media and do not reflect the position of the editors of InoSMI.

In our turbulent time, when every day there are loud statements by the powerful of this world about building up military potential, tension with neighboring countries, when crises, terrorist attacks, local conflicts have already become practically the norm, people ask themselves the question: Will there be a full scale third world war?

Now truth is mixed with fiction, good with evil, science with metaphysics. This has led even skeptical atheists to listen, though not always openly, to various prophecies.

Here we would like to structure the existing predictions, opinions, forecasts on the topic of the third world war. And then invite readers to draw their own conclusions.

Millionaire, unspoken sponsor of the "color revolutions", a man with cunning and the mind of the devil himself, George Soros, who, thanks to his intuition, made a fortune on speculation on the stock exchanges, reported the inevitability of a revenge between East and West.

He is referring to China, along with "its secret and open ally - Russia" and Japan and South Korea - allies of the United States, as well as all NATO countries.

"Then the world will be on the verge of a new, nuclear war" .

George Soros

Moreover, he is sure that China will win. Therefore, at the World Bank meeting, he recommended "make concessions to the Chinese government", "to allow the yuan to be made the world's currency."

By the way, the head office of the Rothschild family foundation (which has long had a reputation as a creditor of various obscure schemes, people in different countries, enterprises) was first moved to actually another part of the world - namely from New York to Hong Kong. Together with him, the gold and foreign exchange reserves and documents also moved. Is this not an indirect indication of the future winner?

Mystics, prophets, clairvoyants

The question of whether a nuclear war is worth asking those people (living or long dead) who have already proven correct predictions in other things. For example, Alois Irlmeier.

He made them in 1953, in the era of the decline of the destroyed Germany. And how surprised his contemporaries were with his stories about the homeland that had become rich and attractive to emigrants. As well as "it will be very warm in the world" A hint of global warming? "People from the Balkans, Africa and the East" will come to Germany are current migrants.

He also reported on the popular German currency, which will depreciate sharply.

After “the Bear and the yellow Dragon will invade to fight the Eagle from the west. The explosion will destroy Prague. After that, the rulers will finally sit down at the negotiating table.”

Aloisa Irlmeier

It is curious that the destruction of Prague by the “climate gun”, which at that time (1980s) even no one knew about, was also mentioned by another clairvoyant - American Veronica Luken.

She spoke about the war between the US and Russia (and this was in the era of disarmament, the idea of ​​brotherhood, the Nobel Peace Prize to Gorbachev and other hopes for peaceful coexistence.

Luken urged her not to believe it.

After the end of World War 3, people will give up technology and permitting weapons and “begin to live a spiritual life, working with a plow on the ground.”

Veronica Luken

It is quite possible that after the nuclear winter there will be no other way out...

The earliest prophet with reliable predictions, who lived at the beginning of the 16th century, Ursula Shipton, who predicted the plague, the attack of the Spaniards on England, said this about the 21st century:

Yellow people will attack with the power of the bear. All because of the envy of the northern countries. The war will go from east to west. Few will survive.

Ursula Shipton

The soothsayer Nostradamus, who lived in the 17th century, was very popular at all times.

He predicted the outbreak of World War II, fires in Russia and drought in Europe.

Michel Nostradamus composed his predictions in the form of poetry. They hint at the territory of the "Great War" - modern Europe. Events will take place from 2040 to 2060.

By the way: Nostradamus has many parallels with the predictions of Alois Irlmeier. Although the latter did not name a specific date for the start of the war - "I don't see it."

Revered by all Orthodox, the Matrona of Moscow predicted the fall of the monarchy in Russia, the civil war and the Great Patriotic War.

She spoke of the next war as follows: “in the evening people will be still alive, and in the morning already dead”. This suggests some kind of global weapon, for example, nuclear.

Nobody wrote down the words of our compatriot psychic Wolf Messing. His friends are very sorry about this.

He spoke of the new war as follows: it will not exist as such. But at the same time "there will be a redistribution of the countries of the East between the world powers." During this, the price of oil will fall and the ruble will be in crisis, but then it will rise again. But the European currency is not destined to become popular again as before.

Another Russian psychic, Juna, also charges with optimism: “There will be no third world. Absolutely sure".

Putin on World War III

Conclusion

Unfortunately, the history of the world is the history of wars. They are like a catalyst for the formation of new countries, discoveries (remember the Internet, which was originally created as an aid to the military), types of administrations.

The war "raised" future rulers and politicians. Probably, this century will not be an exception. This is said by both the prophets from the distant past and quite modern world analysts.

When exactly the third world war will begin, no one knows. All of them either name different dates or do not name them at all. Perhaps this is a sign to us of the variability of fate and the existing possibility of avoiding the shedding of blood.

Write in the comments what do you think? Will there be a third world war? Or not?

Economic instability in the world and political confrontations between the US, Russia and Europe can lead to irreversible consequences. There is endless talk in Russia about the irreversibility of World War III. These thoughts are fueled by daily news from the main hot spots: bombings again in Syria, military confrontation has escalated in Ukraine. What awaits us in the future, will there be a war in Russia in 2020: the opinion of experts, clairvoyants, psychics - this is the topic of our today's material.

Not only political scientists, economists and analysts can answer this question. Psychics, predictors and clairvoyants also do not stay away from future events. Each person has a choice whether or not to believe in the supernatural, but there is no superfluous information, especially in such a matter.

Opinion of experts, clairvoyants and predictors: Will there be a war in Russia in 2020?

For some time, after the collapse of the USSR, Russia was considered uncompetitive and weak. However, over the past decade, our country has begun to rapidly build up its defense capability. We can not say that this was not, and there are no reasons. In recent years, aggression against the Russian Federation by the world community has been growing. Especially from the United States of America. The sanctions that were imposed on our country by the world community have led to an aggravation of the international conflict. Many experts talk about the likelihood of a new large-scale military action involving Russia.

Russia on the brink of a big war

First of all, with all the love for the sacred world, when analyzing the future, it is worth turning to professionals. Experts: historians, economists, analysts, military men, politicians give official explanations without leaning towards mysticism. They rely on "dry" facts, and issue a forecast extrapolating the current situation into the future. At the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, most experts expressed the opinion that passions are heating up in the world, and three scenarios await us:

1. First scenario. Disagreements between Russia and the European Union, fueled by the United States, will lead to a military clash in one of the republics of the former USSR.
2. Second scenario. Tough and aggressive US policy will provoke North Korea to launch nuclear missiles.
3. Third scenario. Another pinpoint strike by the United States in Syria will hit the Russian group of troops, which will be followed by an immediate response.
4. Fourth scenario. The cyber-troops of one of the special services will capture top-secret data of the enemy state.

Fact. All experts are inclined to believe that in 2020 the first scenario of the outbreak of war in Russia is the most realistic. Any republic of the former Soviet Union is suitable for the role of a stumbling block: Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and even Belarus.

The balance in the world has long been broken, each of the parties will not tolerate even the slightest infringement of its rights. All versions may have their continuation, but no one can say for sure what could cause a military confrontation. The established bipolar world is coming to its logical end, and the precarious balance depends only on how much patience and wisdom the leaders of Russia and the United States have.

It is impossible to answer unambiguously the question whether there will be a war with Russia and other countries. However, there are certain prerequisites that speak of its proximity. In recent years, our country has begun to rapidly build up its military potential. If we compare the military parades on May 9 last year and at the beginning of the 90s of the 20th century, positive dynamics will be clearly seen. Armament is becoming more modern, its functionality is almost unlimited. Thanks to this, Russia will be able not only to defend itself, but also to conduct active offensive operations against opponents.

New scenario of the beginning of World War 3 December - January! It is possible to bring in troops and start a war with Russia under the pretext of our country's inability to control nuclear, chemical or bacteriological weapons. This version is supported by the fact that recently the United States has been making a claim to the Russian Federation under the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF Treaty, INF Treaty). The claims are completely unfounded, but this is an excellent reason to say that we are not able to control our own strategic weapons, and the entire "progressive world community" will simply have to protect itself.

The opinion of Russian and Western experts

Russian and Western experts have already expressed their hypotheses regarding the coming 2020:

• Vladimir Pantin. The Russian political scientist and Ph.D. in Chemistry, Doctor of Philosophy Vladimir Pantin, in his work “The Crisis Epoch of 2010-2020”, suggested that in 2020 Russia will face a turning point not only in economic, but also in socio-political development the consequences of which are difficult to predict. Either it will lead to the formation of a completely new state, its revival, or to decline and degradation. As a result, a powerful country that has existed for centuries will split into several opposing camps. The scientist connects these events with "Kondratieff cycles", that is, periodic cycles of decline and rise of modern economic systems. According to him, Russia is now in the fifth Kondratiev cycle, which has been going on since 1980. In any case, the expert believes that in 2020 there will be a strong change in the ruling elite in the country. However, whether these changes will be positive or not, it is impossible to say now.
• Sergei Glaziev. A well-known Russian economist is inclined to believe that the United States is pushing Russia towards disintegration and political isolation in every possible way. An example is the situation in Ukraine and the Maidan. It is not difficult to guess that friendly relations between countries were destroyed not at all because of real contradictions. Even if the changes in Ukraine were the result of legitimate elections, the chance of a pro-Russian candidate to break into the presidency would be minimal. The post of head of state would be put by someone who would strongly support the policy of the United States. However, the end result is the same - the formation of large military locations on the borders with the Russian Federation.

• George Friedman. Not only Russian experts predict the imminent collapse of the Russian Federation. George Friedman, an American political scientist, is also convinced of this. As an argument, he cites the destabilizing situation in the country over oil and gas prices. As you know, their value has dropped significantly. And now it is in a state of volatility. The political scientist also predicts the collapse of the European Union. But when these events will occur, he cannot say for sure. The expert claims that in 2020 the alignment of forces of world leaders will finally be established. According to George Friedman, only Poland will emerge victorious from this whole situation, since it closely cooperates with the United States.
• Ilan Berman. Ilan Berman, vice president of the American Council on Foreign Policy, is inclined to believe that Russia will have to deal with a massive influx of emigrants from Muslim countries. As a result, they seize power at all levels. Perhaps the politician said this in response to Vladimir Putin's article in The New York Times regarding military operations in Syria. The Russian president spoke negatively about the use of force in Syria and called on countries to peacefully resolve the conflict. Our country has long been multinational and relations between representatives of some religions and nationalities have not always been calm, but there has never been an open confrontation. Unlike racism in the same United States of America or Europe.

Predictions of astrologers and clairvoyants

In 2019, Russia has a significant impact on world politics in matters of peaceful cooperation. But whether this will help prevent the tragedy is difficult to unambiguously answer. Do Russians want wars? No. Since ancient times, our ancestors, in order to avoid ambiguity, did not turn to experts, but to knowledgeable shamans, sages who could foresee the future. However, with the development of civilization, the traditions of the ancestors have sunk into the past.

Will war start in Russia in 2020, expert opinion.

Vanga's prophecies

The name of the seer Vanga is widely known both on the territory of the former Soviet Union and beyond. Her predictions very accurately reflected many events of the 21st century. Vanga gave a lot of information on the state of affairs in Russia:

• Starting in 2019, Russia will influence all other states;
• By the middle of the 21st century, all Slavic lands will unite;
• After full unification, a leader will appear in Russia who will raise the country to a new level of development.

Fact. Note that Vanga did not predict the outbreak of war in Russia at least in 2020-2050, that is, until the unification of all Slavic Orthodox states.

This is not the whole list of Vanga's predictions, but even these three inspire and inspire confidence. The seer constantly pointed out to people that the planet itself would destroy the world order: there would be many earthquakes, floods, fires and other cataclysms. Such forecasts are not encouraging, but, as Vangelia argued, only through suffering can people come to mutual understanding and cooperation. And only after that the spiritual rise and prosperity of all mankind will begin.

Predictions of Pavel Globa

Pavel Globa is one of the most popular astrologers, whose opinion is listened to by both esoteric specialists and ordinary people. His forecast for 2019 also contains an optimistic scenario for Russia. Globa claims that there will be no war, and the Russians will begin a period of prosperity in all spheres of life, in his opinion, we are waiting for:

• Growth of all economic indicators;
• New discoveries will appear in science and medicine;
• Space will be successfully explored;
• Finally, the notorious nanotechnologies will be put to practical use;
• The well-being of people, first of all, will be associated with the modernization of industry, which will give impetus to the development of production;
• The loyal policy of the country's government will attract many friendly states to Russia;

Against the backdrop of the collapse of the United States and the European Union, a new powerful economic alliance will appear. This prediction is confirmed by other well-known soothsayers. Also, most psychics agree that 2019-2020 is very important for Russia. After him, a new head of state will appear who will not allow the start of a big war. He was called the "Great Potter". He will be able to negotiate with neighboring countries on long-term friendship and cooperation, and joint development.

Putin's assassination

When will Putin be killed and who will do it, what predictions did clairvoyants, prophets and psychics make about this? It is obvious to many opponents of our state that most of the achievements of recent years are directly or indirectly related directly to the efforts of the current president of our country, Putin V.V. The return of the Crimea, the construction of the Crimean bridge, the Olympics, the gradual abandonment of the dollar, the strengthening of the army - all this is not liked by the enemies of Russia. Naturally, many dream of killing him. For example, in neighboring Ukraine, this is openly declared on central television channels.

We did not find any predictions of the violent death (murder) of President Putin either from Vanga, or from Nostradamus, or from any of the modern prophets.

Conclusion. Putin is a former officer of the special services of the KGB and the FSB (although “former” is probably not quite the right word). He probably perfectly understands and takes into account the risks of his murder, understands who and how can do it. Most likely, he is one of the most protected persons on our planet, it is unlikely that someone will be able to kill him without first seizing power in the country.

Predictions of the holy elders

Here are the predictions about the war in 2020 given by the holy elders who lived at different times in Russia:

• Archbishop Theophan of Poltava. A ruler erected by God will appear on the territory of Russia. He will be distinguished by unbending faith, strong will and bright mind. This knowledge is revealed by God. It remains only to wait for the fulfillment of the prophecy. Everything confirms his imminent coming, unless our sinfulness leads to a change in the promise of the Lord.
• Archimandrite Seraphim. Everything is the will of God, and much in life depends on the deeds of the Russian Church, on the strength of our people's belief in divine justice, and on the fervent prayer of the Orthodox.
• St. John of Kronstadt. Russia will be reborn into a powerful and great power. She will go through all the torments in order to rise up renewed, believing according to the old testaments in Christ with the Holy Trinity. It will follow unity, as the founder of Russian Christianity, Prince Vladimir, bequeathed. Because now the people have forgotten that Russia is under the protection of God. A Russian person should be grateful to God for being Russian.
• Seraphim Vyritsky. The world will lose stability when a strong state appears in the East. They will take the number and the fact that their people are very hardworking and non-drinking, unlike us. ... But there will be a time of discord and turmoil when Russia falls apart. It will be divided in order to be completely plundered. The Western world will participate in the plunder of Russia and will lead to the fact that the eastern part of Russia will be under China. He will insidiously occupy the vast territory of Siberia to the Urals. The Chinese will marry Russian women in order to gain a foothold in our land. And the Japanese will appear in the Far East. The Chinese will want to continue to conquer Russia, but the West will interfere with their plans. The territory of Russia will be the same as during the reign of Ivan the Terrible.
• Grigory Rasputin. Petersburg is the place where the meeting of the three kings will take place. Europe will be full. The last time will be colored with great signs and sufferings. People will be plunged into darkness. But all attention will turn to the East, to Russia. That's right, there are new prophets. They will glorify the Lord who will appear in Russia...
• Iona Odessa. In a neighboring and friendly country for Russia, there will be serious unrest, lasting 2 years, and then a long bloody war will begin. And after the war, a great Russian ruler will appear.

Possible opponents in the war with Russia

Many countries are suitable for the role of opponents in a hypothetical war with the Russian Federation, but if you look at things realistically, the circle narrows to only three options: the United States, Ukraine and an internal conflict, that is, a civil war.

War with the USA

Will there be a war between the US and Russia in 2020? The first thing that catches your eye is that the rhetoric of the current leadership of the United States of America is rather militant, and many actions in the political arena are aimed at drawing the Russian Federation into a large-scale military conflict. It is obvious that the main goal of the United States under no circumstances is to lose leadership and prevent the emergence of a bipolar world order. But how prepared are Americans for a real war?

1. Nobody wants a nuclear war. Russia is a nuclear power and it makes no sense to fight "in full force" with us - we will simply destroy the planet.
2. America cannot fight on its own. America and the Americans last seriously fought in Vietnam, after which such a howl arose in society that they never fought real hostilities with mobilization. Real combat operations are understood as conflicts involving mobilized civilians, and not mercenaries from PMCs.
3. But what about the anti-Russian hysteria? This is an excellent opportunity to resolve the contradictions between the ruling parties. Blaming each other for ties with Putin and blaming him for all the problems, the US ruling elite solves many domestic issues. The "Red Menace" is a traditional scarecrow that has just been pulled out of the closet where it has been gathering dust for the past 30 years.

Conclusion. Will there be a war between Russia and the USA? Hardly. Why fight on our own, it is much more profitable to print dollars and distribute them to everyone who wants to undermine the order and economic growth of the Russian Federation. Actually, this is what the states are doing, buying up the extreme opposition and buying out the leadership of the countries of the former USSR: Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia.

War with Ukraine

Will there be a war between Russia and Ukraine in 2020? But this is more likely, unfortunately. The puppet regime of Ukraine is capable of any suicidal actions to draw Russia into a full-scale war. However, if at the beginning of 2019 the likelihood of war was quite high, now some experts are leaning towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Of course, it is impossible to completely overcome the contradictions, especially since there are still artificially imposed anti-Russian attitudes in the minds of Ukrainians, but the thaw in relations between the two countries cannot be overlooked.

• And now that there is no war? At the moment, it is impossible to call the confrontation between the DPR and LPR with Ukraine a full-scale war - the parties have entrenched themselves on the occupied lines and are holding their positions. Russia supports the DPR, the USA supports Ukraine. Both those and others support very modestly, if more resources are poured into the conflict, the war can reach a new level. For example, the United States can sponsor an increased salary for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and help with weapons, while Russia, in turn, can also help with ammunition and money. But that doesn't happen.
• So what's next? At the moment, Zelensky has become the president of Ukraine, but he is in no hurry to improve relations with the Russian Federation. Most likely, the conflict will be taken to a fundamentally different level. At the moment, the message is still being introduced into Ukrainian society that not only Putin is an enemy, but in general all Russians.

Conclusion. Will there be a war between Ukraine and Russia? Most likely, the leadership of our country understands much more than you and me in this matter, and is unlikely to want the start of real hostilities. Most likely, we will not react to provocations in any way and will maintain the “status quo” until the last opportunity.

Civil War

Will there be a civil war in Russia in 2020? At the moment, there are no prerequisites for its beginning. Yes, society is dissatisfied with the state of affairs in domestic politics: pension reform, corruption, lack of production - all this worries our citizens. However, the real level of discontent is very far from the boiling point.

• There is no real alternative. At present, there is no real alternative: a party, a force, or at least an ideological leader who could proclaim some clear goal and lead the masses of the people. The entire opposition is guided by the same principle that everyone else “get rich”, does not offer any ideas or clear plans. In addition to the slogan "Putin must go" - there is nothing in the bottom line.
• Everyone knows what the revolution leads to. The older generation remembers the results of the revolution of the 90s, and is well educated to know the results of a dozen more different revolutions and civil wars, both in our country and in others. None of them did anything good.

Conclusion. Will there be a civil war in the Russian Federation? No, it will not. There is not a single real prerequisite for its beginning, no one needs it, including those who are now campaigning for it.

Conclusion

The situation in the political arena in 2020 will only heat up. Europe will continue its attacks on Russia, based on conjectures and assumptions artificially planted in the minds of the people by American propaganda. This will lead to aggravation of relations between Russia and the EU. The intensity of the conflict in Ukraine will gradually subside, but the United States will not abandon its attempts to interfere in the affairs of the Russian Federation from the outside.

There is still a high probability of a split within the country and its division into several opposing camps. The change of power will not be able to give the population the support and protection that will be expected from it.

Increased attention to the military sector of the economy and the increasing volume of investments and subsidies every year allows us to conclude that the head of state does not rule out the onset of war and is preparing for it with all his might. If Russia is not able to resist the enemy forces, then the result will be as Hitler imagined it during the Second World War - the complete enslavement of the nation and the division of its lands.

As it turned out, Orthodox people of high spiritual life have been talking about the Third World War for a long time. This world war will involve Russia, Constantinople, Turkey and the straits. Modern Greek and even Byzantine seers tell us about this. Byzantine prophets spoke about these events almost from the very foundation of the Byzantine Empire. So there is a legend that the emperor Constantine, when choosing a place for the capital of the future empire, witnessed the battle of an eagle with a snake. From “The Tale of the Capture of Constantinople by the Turks”: “And suddenly a snake crawled out of its hole and crawled along the ground, but then an eagle fell from the sky, grabbed the snake and soared up, and the snake began to wrap around the eagle. Caesar and all the people looked at the eagle and the snake. The eagle, however, disappeared from view for a short time, and, appearing again, began to descend, and fell with the snake to the same place, for the snake overcame it. The people, running up, killed the snake, and took away the eagle from it. And the emperor was in great fear, and, having called together the bookworms and the wise men, he told them about this sign. They, on reflection, announced to the Caesar: “This place “Seven Hills” will be called, and will be glorified and exalted throughout the world more than all cities, but since the city will stand between the two seas and the waves of the sea will beat it, it is destined to shake. And the eagle is a Christian symbol, and the snake is a Muslim symbol. And since the serpent has overcome the eagle, it is announced that Islam will overcome Christianity. And since the Christians killed the snake and took away the eagle, it is shown that in the end the Christians will again defeat the Muslims, and they will take possession of the Seven Hills, and they will reign in it.
According to legend, a mysterious prophecy was engraved on the tomb of the first Byzantine emperor, Constantine. Its text was first published in the 17th century in the book of Dorotheus of Monemvasia "Collection of various historical writings" (Constantinople, 1684), and then reprinted in Minh's "Greek Patrology".
“In the first year of the indiction, the power of Ismail, who is called Mahomet, will defeat the clan of Palaiologos, take possession of Semikholm, will dominate it, many people will destroy and devastate the islands to Pontus Euxinus. In the eighth year, the indicta will ruin those who live along the banks of the Istra, the Peloponnese will be desolated, in the ninth year it will fight in the northern lands, in the tenth year it will defeat the Dalmatians, turn back for a while, [but then] against the Dalmatians [again] raise a great battle, but those partial he will be defeated. And numerous, like foliage, [fighters] to the western [peoples] will follow, they will start a war on land and sea, and Ishmael will be defeated. His offspring will rule for a short time. The fair-haired clan with his assistants will completely defeat Ismail and Semiholmie with special advantages [in it] will receive. Then a fierce internecine strife will begin, [lasting] until the fifth hour. And there will be a triple voice; “Stop, stop with fear! And, hastening to the right country, you will find a husband there, truly marvelous and strong. This will be your master, for he is dear to me, and you, having received him, do my will.

This prophecy speaks of the fall of Constantinople and the subsequent return of its fair-haired family, which will defeat the Ismailis (Turks). According to the interpretation of Joseph of Vatopedi, “internecine strife” should be understood as a war between Christian peoples. That is, a certain fair-haired clan will defeat the Turks and capture Constantinople, but later some, apparently, European peoples will get involved in the war, opposing this fair-haired clan. Mutual extermination will begin, which will be stopped by a voice from heaven. Further, it is said about the acquisition of the Tsar by the Greeks. His name is John.

Prophecy of Methodius of Patara: “A voice will be heard from heaven: “Stop! Stop! Peace to you! Enough vengeance on the unfaithful and obscene! Go to the right land of Semiholmia, and you will find there a man standing near the two pillars in great humility, bright and righteous, enduring great poverty, severe in appearance, but meek in spirit "... And the command from the Angel will be announced:" Make him king and put the sword into his right hand with the words: "Be of good cheer, John! Be strong and conquer your adversaries." And, having received the sword from the Angel, he will strike down the Ismailites, the Ethiopians, and every unbelieving generation.”

St. Tarasios, Patriarch of Constantinople: “An internecine strife will rise up, and the whole infidel race will perish. And then the holy king will rise, in whose name [letter]; - initial, a; - final. .
These are far from all the prophecies about the Greek Tsar. It must be understood that here we are talking about the Greek Tsar, and therefore the Greeks spoke about this in such detail and so much.

However, Byzantine prophecies do not tell us about the time of World War III. True, in the prophecy on the tomb of Constantine the Great there are some references to time (years of the indiction), but they still defy interpretation. A hint of the time of the return of Constantinople we find in other prophecies.
Timing

Joseph Vatopedsky gives us a hint. His prophecy has existed on the Serbian part of the Internet since at least 2008. It is likely that Joseph uttered it to Serbian pilgrims. Now it has also appeared in Russian, but, I would say, somewhat artistically embellished. The Serbian text is more concise.
“The Russians will enter Constantinople, but later they will give everything to the Greeks. At the very beginning, the Greeks will hesitate to accept or not the new territories, but will accept them later and will rule over what was once a Turkish possession. The Greeks will return to Constantinople 600 years after they left it” [Russi ћe liberate Tsarigrad, or after that, on the green table, give Grtsima. Grtsy ћe chekati At the same time, yes, at Tsarigrad, ali ћe, on the edge, at last, 600 years, again at Tsarigrad.]
Constantinople fell in 1453. That is, Joseph is talking about the year 2053.

Blessed Alipia (Avdeeva) 1910-1988 “The war will start against the apostles Peter and Paul. You will lie: there is an arm, there is a leg. This will happen when the corpse is taken out.” True, it must be said that Blessed Alipia lived according to her own calendar, which she called the Jerusalem calendar. There is an assumption that this may be an indication of November 2, when the Russian Church celebrates the New Martyrs Peter (Kravets) Deacon and Martyr Paul (Bocharov), Alma-Ata (1937). There is another prediction that cannot be verified. Allegedly in 2002, a certain pilgrim Nikolai in Diveevo had a vision of Seraphim of Sarov, who told him: “The war will begin immediately after my holiday. As soon as the people subside from Diveevo, it will start right away! » That is, the war will probably begin between August and November (of course, if the prophecies are genuine, and correctly interpreted by us).

Duration of the war

I met the indication that the war would last two years three times.
St. Schemamonk Paisios Svyatogorets (Eznepidis) 1924-1994 “Know that Turkey will fall apart. There will be a war that will last two halves. We will be winners because we are Orthodox.”

Schema-nun Anthony (Kaveshnikova). 1904 - 1998 “The war will be two [years]. Fast."

Schema-Archimandrite Jonah of Odessa (Ignatenko) 1925-2012 “There will be a war. It will last two years.” “The first Easter will be bloody, the second will be famine, and the third will be victorious.”
Concerning the last prophecy it is necessary to say a few words. It seems to me that the listener has an interpretation error. . Schema-Archimandrite Jonah spoke about the unrest in Ukraine and the Third World War. The listener, however, could not separate what relates to Ukraine and the present time, from what should be attributed to the world war. This mistake became obvious in 2017, since it is already clear that the war in Ukraine lasted more than two years. Consequently, the two years that Schema-Archimandrite Jonah of Odessa is talking about is the duration of the Third World War.

Year of the end of the war

We can read about the year of the end of the war in the so-called Kutlumush manuscript, which was found in the Athos monastery of Kutlumush. She gained wide popularity after the publication in the book “On the End of the Age and the Antichrist” by Joseph of Vatopedi (1995). Although, there is information that she first became known from a letter from the Greek priest N. Papanikolopoulou. (;. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;) . The original text is in the monastery itself. We know this text as twenty-four succinctly formulated paragraphs talking about the past and the future (presumably starting from paragraph 14). And only the last point is presented in some detail. Maybe literally. And in it we find important information. Here are the prophetic lines:
1) the Great European War;
2) the defeat of Germany, the catastrophe of Russia and Austria;
3) the triumph of the Hellenes over the Hagarians;
4) the defeat of the Hellenes by the Hagarians, supported by the peoples of the West;
5) beating the Orthodox;
6) the great confusion of the Orthodox peoples;
7) the invasion of a foreign army from the Adriatic Sea. Woe to all who live on earth, hell is ready;
8) short-term appearance of a great husband among the Hagarites;
9) new European war;
10) an alliance of Orthodox peoples and Germany;
11) the defeat of the French by the Germans;
12) the uprising of the Hindus and the separation of India from England;
13) the reduction of England to its own limits;
14) the victory of the Orthodox and the massacre of the Hagarites;
15) worldwide confusion;
16) widespread despair on earth;
17) the struggle of the seven powers for Constantinople. Three-day mutual extermination. The victory of the strongest power over the other six;
18) an alliance of six powers against the victor; new three-day mutual extermination;
19) the cessation of enmity by God's intervention in the person of an Angel and the transfer of Constantinople to the Hellenes;
20) the conversion of the Latins to the intact Orthodox faith;
21) the spread of the Orthodox faith from east to west;
22) the horror and awe she inspires in the barbarians;
23) the removal of the pope from spiritual authority and the appointment of a single Patriarch for the entire European world;
24) in the fifty-fifth year - the end of sorrows. In the seventh [summer] there is no accursed, there is no exile, for he returned to the arms of the Mother [about his children rejoicing]. This will be, this will be done. Amen. Amen. Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, First and Last. The end is a single flock of true Orthodox faith. Servant of Christ, the true God.

In this prophetic text, we meet something that we have heard before: the massacre of the Hagarians (Turks), the capture of Constantinople and its return to the Greeks, as well as the end of the war by God's intervention. Thus, the prophecy unambiguously refers to the Third World War. And everything ends with an indication of a certain fifty-fifth year, as the year of the end of sorrows. Taking into account the fact that we assumed 2053 - the year of the beginning of the war, and its duration was considered equal to two years, then there is a clear indication of the year 2055.
If we apply the statement of Jonah of Odessa about three Easters, we can see that the war will end after April 18, 2055, when Easter will be celebrated, which Jonah calls not yet victorious, but hungry. Victorious he called only the next Easter.

The beginning of the war is presumably August-November 2053.
The first Easter after the start of the war - called bloody - is May 3, 2054.
The second Easter since the beginning of the war, called hungry - April 18, 2055.
The third Easter - April 9, 2056 - will be celebrated when the war is already over. That is why it is called victorious. So, probably, the beginning of the war is August-November 2053, the end of the war is May-December 2055

We find a hint of the year 2055 in the prophecies of St. Kosma Aetolian. And here we are interested in the last point:

St. Cosmas of Aetolia (Constas) 1714-1779
15. "In the City (Constantinople - Smirnov A.) so much blood will be shed that a three-year-old bull can swim in it." [p.113]
16. Troops heading for Constantinople will pass through the Musini Valley. Let the women and children go to the mountains. They will ask you: "Is the City far?" Answer: "It is close." By answering this way, you will avoid many troubles. [p.113]
17. "When you hear that the fleet is sailing in the Mediterranean, know that the Constantinople issue will soon be resolved." [p.114]
18. “The troops will not reach the City and half way when they receive the news that the “desired” has come. [p.114]
19. “There will be another foreign army. She will not know Greek, but she will believe in Christ. They will also ask: "Where is the City?" [S.115]
20. "The Antichrists (Turks. - Smirnov A.) will leave, but will return again, then you will pursue them to the Red Apple Tree." [p.116]
21. “The Turks will leave, but they will return again and reach Eksamily. Of these, one third will perish, one third will believe in Christ, and one third will go to Kokkini Milia.” [p.117-118]
22. "Then it will come when two summers and two Easter holidays come together." [p.120]

In the 18th century, St. Cosmas described military actions connected with the solution of the Constantinople question. Obviously, we are talking about events, the description of which we also meet with other Orthodox seers. The prophetic words of St. Cosmas are full of geographical names or allusions that should be understood by the Greeks. We are interested in the twenty-second point: "Then it will come when two summers and two Paschalia come together." I make the assumption that two paschals are an indication of the year when the Orthodox Easter coincides with the Catholic one. Such coincidences happen quite often. In the period of interest to us, such coincidences will occur in 2045, 2048, 2052, 2055, 2058. The meaning is clear that we are talking about the time of the end of the war. And this year, Orthodox and Catholic Easter will be celebrated on the same day - "they will come ... two Paschalia together." Regarding what does "two summers...together" mean? This explains how the unprecedentedly warm winter of this victorious year, that is, we are talking about the winter of 2054-2055.

Events preceding

There are many prophecies that before the war there will be a rise in food prices and even famine. I will not quote them here now, those who wish can familiarize themselves with them.
I suggest that we live in a period that corresponds to the opening of the third seal in the Apocalypse. This period is described in economic terms: when the third seal was broken, “a black horse comes out, and on it is a rider who has a measure in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four animals, saying: A quinix of wheat for a denarius, and three quinixes of barley for a denarius; but do not damage the oil and the wine” (Rev. 6:5, 6). Whether this increase in prices will be gradual, or whether it will happen before the war itself as a result of some kind of upheaval, is not yet clear.
It should be noted that the Kutlumush manuscript singles out the seven years from 2048 to 2055 as a period of some kind of instability, which, as we have already understood, includes two years of war in 2053–2055.
"24) in the fifty-fifth year - the end of sorrows. In the seventh [summer] there is no accursed, there is no exile, for he returned to the arms of the Mother [about his children rejoicing]. This will be, this will be done. Amen. Amen. Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, First and Last. The end is a single flock of true Orthodox faith. Servant of Christ, the true God"

What will happen starting from 2048? What does “damned” mean, what does “exile” mean, who must return “to the arms of the Mother”? We don't know yet. From this text, we can only understand that from 2048 to 2055 some mournful events will occur.
However, we have predictions that say that some five to seven years will be crop failure due to catastrophic weather conditions.

Schema-Archimandrite Christopher (Nikolsky) 1905-1996 “He said that there would be a strong war and there would be very few people left (on earth). There will be heat after the war and a terrible famine all over the earth, and not only in Russia. And the heat is terrible, and there will be crop failures for the last five to seven years. At first everything will be born, and then it will rain, and everything will be flooded, and the whole crop will rot, and nothing will be harvested. All rivers, lakes, reservoirs will dry up, and the oceans will dry up, and all glaciers will melt, and mountains will leave their places. The sun will be very hot. He said that after the war there would be so few people left on earth, so few ... that Russia would be the center of the war.
My experience in interpreting prophecy tells me that many seers often combine several events into one. Or, as it were, they compress time, talking about events stretched out in time, as following one after another (for example, after Putin there will be a Tsar, although there will be many other things between Putin and the Tsar). So Nil the Myrrh-streaming (died in 1651) says that the seas will dry up before the arrival of the Antichrist. I do not exclude that Schema-Archimandrite Christopher could also see the last times (if this is a prophetic vision, and not an opinion), and perhaps his prophecy refers to the very last times (the times of the opening of the seventh seal), but it may be that in this mournful seven years there will be lean years, and this, in turn, will lead to an increase in food prices.

In A. Solzhenitsyn's book "The Gulag Archipelago" I came across an interesting episode. In 1916, an old man came to the house of the Moscow locomotive engineer Belov and told his wife Pelageya that she needed to take care of her one-year-old son, since he would be the new Russian Tsar. And that in 1953 power would change, but for this it was necessary to start gathering forces in 1948. Viktor Belov, that was the name of Pelageya's son, grew up, joined the army and began working in the autorot. Then he got into the government garage. In 1943, the same old man again came to Pelageya's house and announced to Viktor Belov that he would be Emperor Mikhail, and that power would change in 1953, and for this it was necessary to gather forces in 1948. But he did not say how to gather strength. In the same year, Victor wrote his first manifesto to the Russian people, and read it to four employees of the Narkomneft garage, where he worked at that time. Nobody gave him away. A year later, he writes his second manifesto, and reads it to ten garage workers, then introduces two more people to it. And this leads him to the Lubyanka, where A. Solzhenitsyn met him in cell number fifty-three.
This episode of my life seemed interesting to me. Because we are meeting here with years that are similar to 2048 and 2053. Without a doubt, the unknown old man was mistaken. In the twentieth century, Russia was not ready for the return of the monarchy. Who was this old man? And why did he come specifically to the son of a locomotive engineer, Viktor Belov? We probably won't know. Perhaps there was another mistake. The old man could have received a revelation about the 48th and 53rd years, but he decided that these were the years of the 20th century. In any case, the years that the seer, unknown to us, somehow recognized, are very similar to the years that we meet in other prophecies, but in relation to our 21st century.
And if the Kutlumush manuscript only hints at some negative changes that will begin in the world from 2048, then the far-sighted old man speaks of a change in the political system in Russia.
Great Tribulation

In the Kutlumush manuscript there are two points before the battle for Constantinople, but after the massacre of the Hagarites.
15) worldwide confusion (;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;.);
16) widespread despair on earth (;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;; ;;; ;;;.);
Seraphim of Sarov spoke of something similar. Further, we will quote this prophecy in more detail, where Seraphim said: “Next, mothers, there will be ... such sorrow, which has not been from the beginning of the world!”
Here the words of Christ are involuntarily recalled. When the disciples ask Him about "times and dates", Christ gives them, among other indications of the approach of the end times, such signs: "Then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, and will not be" (Matt. 24:21) Evangelist Luke conveys the same words differently: “but on earth there is despondency of the nations and perplexity” (Luke 21:25)
It is possible that both the Kutlumush manuscript and Seraphim of Sarov have in mind the tragic events that will begin everywhere. If we live in the period described in Revelation as the time of the opening of the third seal, then the next period, the opening of the fourth seal, is described in the following ways:

"And I looked, and behold, a pale horse, and on it was a rider whose name was 'death'; and hell followed him; and power was given to him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, and with the beasts of the earth." (Revelation 6:8)

The opening of the quarter seal is, in my opinion, the beginning of the Third World War. When it is said: "power over the fourth part of the earth", it means the Eurasian continent, where the bloodiest events will unfold.

It must be assumed that sorrow and confusion, widespread despair, despondency of peoples and bewilderment, await the whole world. If we take Russia separately, then we have a prophecy attributed to Theophan of Poltava (1872-1940), which is known from the words of his cell-attendant, now schemamonk Anthony (Chernov). Video of the conversation with him can be found on the Internet:
“Theophan repeatedly repeated that events would develop in such a way that all human efforts would not bear any fruit, that Russia would be on the verge of complete collapse and at that moment a coup would take place. The army will take over and save
It is likely that things will go so badly in Russia that only the army will be able to restore some order. Apparently, this will happen between 2048 and 2053. Perhaps the unknown old man, who prophesied to Viktor Belov, foresaw a period of anarchy in Russia, and therefore said that in 1948 it was necessary to gather strength.

Tsar in Russia

There are many predictions about the election of the Tsar in Russia. True, there is no unanimity among different seers - whether the Tsar will be elected before the war or after the war. In any case, the war and the election of the Tsar are side by side, and I think that this event is chronologically after the military coup. I make this assumption on the basis that the coup and the power of the military may be for a short time, while the Orthodox Tsar must ensure a period of stability and prosperity, which is predicted as the flowering of Orthodoxy throughout the world, led by Russia.
"The end times have not yet come, and it is completely wrong to believe that we are on the threshold of the coming of the Antichrist, because one and the last flowering of Orthodoxy is yet to come, this time all over the world - led by Russia ... There will be a period of worldwide prosperity - but not for a long time. In Russia at that time there will be an Orthodox Tsar, whom the Lord will reveal to the Russian people.".
Joseph of Vatopedsky: "There will be a war.... But after this great purge there will be a great revival of Orthodoxy not only in Russia, but throughout the world, such a great upsurge of Orthodoxy. The Lord will give His favor, grace, as it was in the beginning in the first century. When people with an open heart went to the Lord. It will last 3-4 decades"

And here are the words of the Serbian elder Gabriel, from the monastery of St. Luke [Svetoga Luke near Boschanim] (Serbia) 1902-1999.

“Light will come to Serbia from Russia. When Russia becomes an empire, the Russian Tsar will protect us Orthodox. Such grace will be over Russia that when the Russian Tsar enters Serbian soil, it will tremble under his feet. With him such a Heavenly Army and retinue will be. And such peace and grace will be when our Serbian Tsar is crowned. That such is the world, the land of Serbia will rule, that the ear of wheat will be huge. That myrrh and incense will smell throughout the Serbian land ... throughout Serbia. The angels will incense."

“By that time, Russia will become an empire, and then the big countries will only be afraid of the Russian Tsar. Such power and blessing will be with him that all the rulers of the world will tremble wherever he appears. Heavenly power will be with him. The Russian Tsar will protect the Orthodox throughout the world, including Serbia. Then the yellow people will accept Orthodoxy to the surprise of many.”

“Then, when the Russian Tsar enters the land of Serbia, so that our Tsar is crowned, the earth under him will tremble. The Heavenly Power will be with that royal retinue. All of Serbia will gather in Krushevets, so that our Tsar will be crowned with the crown of Nemanjic, which is kept in the cave, and is waiting for the day when her child will take it out of the cave and bring it before the Tsar. A descendant of the Nemanichs in the female line will be crowned. But he does not know that he is this descendant. He lives in Russia, from there he will be brought and crowned in Krushevets. The Russian ascetic monk will announce this. And he himself will not know that he is the one who will be crowned.”

“Blessed are those who live to see this time. Blessed are the people then. What mercy will be over Serbia. The earth will smell of incense. Angels will burn. Peace will reign. The harvest will be good. And wheat and vineyards and everything like never before. Then all the forces from Kosovo will retreat, they will run away ... they will not dare to wait for the Russian emperor in Kosovo. Then the Tsar will return our lands with his letter and confirm everything that was ours. And everything in Kosovo will be ours again. Because this land is soaked with our blood.” .

Great Diveevo mystery

Elder Gabriel says that a certain Russian ascetic and monk will indicate the Serbian Tsar. In other places it is said, literally: "a great Russian monk and ascetic"
There are predictions that say that the great monk Seraphim of Sarov, resurrected for a short time, will indicate the Russian Tsar. This supernatural event is known as the "Great Diveyevo Mystery". As I understand it, this will be the great Russian monk who will indicate both the Russian Tsar and the Serbian Tsar. Moreover, Gabriel says that the latter will live in Russia. It is very possible that both the future Russian monarch and the future Serbian monarch will be in Diveevo in August 2053 at the feast in honor of the 150th anniversary of the glorification of Seraphim of Sarov as a saint. And then what will happen is what Seraphim himself spoke about.

Here are his words, transmitted to us by Motovilov N.A.: “- I, your love of God, wretched Seraphim, from the Lord God is supposed to live for much more than a hundred years. But since by that time the bishops [Russians] have become so impious that they will surpass the Greek bishops in the time of Theodosius the Younger in their wickedness, then they will no longer believe in the main dogma of the faith of Christ, then it is pleasing to the Lord God to take the relics of the wretched Seraphim until the time from sowing the pre-temporal life and we will sow to resurrect, and my resurrection will be, like the resurrection of the seven youths in the cave of Okhlonskaya in the days of Theodosius the Youngest.
Having revealed to me, - Motovilov writes further, - this great and terrible secret, the great elder told me that after his resurrection he would move from Sarov to Diveev and there he would open the sermon of universal repentance. For that sermon, more than the miracle of the resurrection, a great multitude will gather to the people from all ends of the earth. Diveev will become Lavra, Vertyanovo - a city, and Arzamas - a province. And, preaching repentance in Diveyevo, Father Seraphim will open four relics in it and, upon opening them, he himself will lie between them.

“Another father said to Maria Semyonovna: “The wretched Seraphim could enrich you, but it’s not useful for you, he could turn ashes into gold, but I don’t want to. Much will not increase with you, and little will not decrease. you will be abundant in everything, but then it will be the end of everything. [Now everyone is amazed that the poor Seraphim is taking care of you, taking care of your spiritual and bodily needs; what a marvel is this? will bring to Diveev!” We all thought that Father Seraphim would visit us, but this did not happen during his lifetime].

Rev. Seraphim told the Diveevo sisters: "I will fall asleep in Sarov, and wake up in Diveevo"

“Here, mother,” he said, “when we have a cathedral, then the Moscow bell Ivan the Great himself will come to us! When they hang him, but for the first time they hit him and he hums, - and the priest portrayed his voice, - then we will wake up! O! In, my mothers, what a joy it will be! In the middle of summer they will sing Easter! And to the people, to the people, from all sides, from all sides! After a pause, the priest continued: “But this joy will be for the shortest possible time: what next, mothers, will be ... such sorrow, which has not been from the beginning of the world!” - and the bright face of the priest suddenly changed, faded and took on a mournful expression. Lowering his head, he drooped down, and tears streamed down his cheeks.

The great seer nevertheless consoled the sisters, who were in distress in the mill monastery, with the fact that they would have a cathedral, and gave them strength. The rest of the prophecy concerned the state of the monastery at the end of the world, and he repeated many times to his sisters, with even greater detail in the last two years of his life.

There is also an extremely interesting, but unverified prophecy. Allegedly, there was an appearance of Seraphim of Sarov in 2002 to the pilgrim Nikolai in Diveevo, where the following was said:
“What I say, tell people! The war will begin shortly after my holiday (the year was not specified). As soon as the people subside from Diveevo, it will begin right away! But I am not in Diveevo: I am in Moscow. In Diveyevo, having resurrected in Sarov, I will come alive together with the Tsar.
You can not trust the last text. Maybe the real relics of the saint lie in Diveevo, or maybe the real relics were hidden from the Bolsheviks and replaced for fear of losing the shrine. In any case, we have to wait until 2053, and become witnesses of the Diveevo miracle. And then we will know the names of God-appointed monarchs for Russia and for Serbia. The Greek King named John will be revealed during the war, as the Byzantine seers write about.

China's involvement in the war

When examining this issue, the following is striking. The Greeks hardly talk about China. True, Paisius the Holy Mountaineer spoke of the Chinese army, which would cross the Euphrates. But this may be an opinion based on the words of Revelation, which speaks of an army of two hundred million that will come from the "sunrise":
“In the summer of 1987, I asked the Elder about a future world war, the one that is called "Armageddon" and which is reported in the Scriptures. With paternal interest, he gave me various information. And he even wanted to discover certain signs that would convince us that we really are in the generation of Armageddon. So he said: “When you hear that the Turks block the waters of the Euphrates in the upper reaches with a dam and use them for irrigation, then know that we have already entered into the preparation of that great war and thus the way is being prepared for the two hundred million army from the sunrise, as Revelation says. Among the preparations is this: the Euphrates river must dry up so that a large army can pass through. Although - the Elder smiled at this place - if two hundred million Chinese, when they arrive there, drink one cup of water, they will drain the Euphrates!

In Revelation, there are two prophetic blocks associated with the seven Angels who trumpet and pour out bowls of wrath. When comparing these images, we find them similar, so to speak, conceptually (I note that the trumpeting angels chronologically stand after the opening of the seventh seal). Paisios is referring to the events that take place under the sixth angel.

The first angel blows / pours out the cup - problems on earth
The second angel blows / pours out the cup - problems at sea
The third angel blows/pours out the cup - changing rivers
The fourth angel blows / pours out the cup - problems with the sun
The fifth angel blows / pours out the cup - the beginning of the suffering of people
The sixth angel trumpets / pours out a cup - the extermination of a third of humanity by a certain formidable army of 200 million (two darkness that), which will come from the sunrise.
The seventh angel blows/pours out the cup - the end of everything.

Let us consider in detail the prophecies concerning the events taking place under the sixth angel.
“The sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar standing before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet: release the four angels bound by the great river Euphrates. And four angels were released, prepared for an hour and a day, and a month and a year, in order to kill a third of the people. The number of cavalry troops was two darkness; and I heard his number” (Revelation 9:13-16) “The sixth angel poured out his cup into the great river Euphrates: and the water dried up in it, so that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun would be ready…. And he gathered them to a place called in Hebrew Armageddon.” (Revelation 16:12,16).

Darkness is ten thousand. Two darkness topics - two hundred million. And this armada is coming from the east to destroy a third of humanity and gather at the end in a place called Armageddon. Apparently, this is the army of Gog, moving from the land of Magog. I discussed this issue in detail in a separate brochure. It is obvious that Paisius Svyatogorets, like many others, connect the Third World War with the event under the sixth Angel, described in the Apocalypse. However, there is reason to believe that we live in a different historical period, namely the period of the opening of the third seal, while angels with trumpets are events that occur at the opening of the seventh seal. It may be objected to me that, they say, who are you to argue with a saint. To which I can give an example from the Gospel, where the apostles are mistaken, misinterpreting the words of Christ. The apostle John corrected them. And even if the disciples of Christ did not avoid problems with interpretation, then even more so, such errors can happen even among saints. Moreover, we do not know whether this was a prophecy received from God, or the personal opinion of Paisius. Opinion with a high degree of probability may be erroneous. Moreover, regarding this war, we have many other prophecies that say that China will not cross the Euphrates this time. This will happen later - at the opening of the seventh seal, at the sixth angel.
By the way, the battle of Armageddon is an event associated with the invasion of Gog's troops from the land of Magog, who will gather near Jerusalem and be destroyed by fire from heaven. But this will not be a victory over the Antichrist, as various interpreters of Revelation sometimes write, since the Antichrist will not yet come to power. We can understand this from the words of the prophet Ezekiel, where it is said that for seven years they will collect weapons after this massacre (Ezekiel 39:9). And the Antichrist will come to power 3.5 years before the end of the world. That is, the battle of Armageddon will be at least 3.5 years before the Antichrist comes to power. Therefore, it is wrong to call Armageddon the final battle between good and evil.
It also seems to me that it is wrong to consider the coming World War III as Armageddon. The third world war corresponds to the coming out of a pale horse with a rider named "death" (Rev. 6:8).
If World War III is not Armageddon, but the opening of the fourth seal, then the question arises of the extent of China's involvement in this massacre. The army of China - 2.4 million people in all branches of the military. However, during the course of the war, from 190 to 300 million reservists can be mobilized from various sources. Will there be "two scores of topics" (Revelation 9:13-16) - 200 million fighters in this military conflict?
In Elder Gabriel we meet the words: “Then the yellow people will accept Orthodoxy to the surprise of many.” This is a clear reference to some Asian peoples, but nothing more is said about them. Byzantine prophecies say nothing about China at all. Stingy on words about oriental people and Joseph of Vatopedi. In his direct speech, which can be heard in the recording, the translator mentions the Japanese: “the elder says that events will develop in such a way that when Russia goes to the aid of Greece, the Americans and NATO, in order to prevent the reunification of the two Orthodox peoples, will also stir up other forces, like the Japanese, all of them these very ones (alas, such a literal translation is Smirnov. A.), and on the territory of this former Byzantine empire there will be a great massacre of about 600 million people, there will only be dead "
From the whole conversation, it becomes clear that Joseph does not see a threat from the east. He names the main enemies of Greece: Turkey, America, NATO. But he mentions some Japanese among others, unless this is the interpretation of a translator who decided to explain what "other forces that America will excite" mean. It would be good to hear from people who know the Greek language exactly what Joseph said. But in any case, China is not named among the main enemies.
Of course, in a period of general discord in the world, when global changes begin, all countries with a sufficiently strong army may awaken ambitions and a desire to participate in the redistribution of the lands of Eurasia. Will Japan want to expand its territories? Or maybe China wants to do it? Maybe he wants to. Moreover, it is known that China has a national army development program, following which, by 2050, the PLA (People's Liberation Army of China) should be able to "win a war of any scale and duration using all means and methods of warfare"

Let's return to the prophecy, which, according to legend, was carved on the grave of Constantine, the founder of Byzantium, which we have already quoted earlier:
“And numerous, like foliage, [fighters] to the western [peoples] will follow, they will start a war on land and sea, and Ishmael will be defeated. His offspring will rule for a short time. The fair-haired clan (;; ;;;;;; ;;; o;) with his assistants will completely defeat Ismail and Semiholmie with special advantages [in it] will receive. Then a fierce internecine strife will begin, [lasting] until the fifth hour. And there will be a triple voice; “Stop, stop with fear! And, hastening to the right country, you will find a husband there, truly marvelous and strong. This will be your master, for he is dear to me, and you, having received him, do my will.
Here it is said about the capture of Constantinople by a fair-haired family, and that then cruel internecine strife will begin. Joseph of Vatopedi suggests that this refers to the strife between the Christian peoples:
“The capture of Constantinople by aliens will happen easily, but, having occupied the city, the victors will face opposition from the countries of the hostile camp, which will require them to give up part of their privileges. And since the war that arose from here will no longer be Christian-Muslim, but inter-Christian in nature, then it is said about "internecine strife."
Thus Josephus suggests that six countries [cf. Kutlumush manuscript], against which the fair-haired family will fight - these are NATO countries - Americans and Europeans - if not in fact, but historically Christian peoples.
True, perhaps the Greeks do not pay attention to the Asians due to the fact that their aggression will not affect Greece - that which interests the Greeks themselves most of all.
Among the Russians, we find more prophecies about China

Archimandrite Tavrion (Batozsky) 1898-1978
“He said that China would also participate. He will march across Russia, but he will pass not as a militant, but as one going somewhere to war. Russia will be like a corridor for him. When they reach the Urals and stop. They will live there for a long time. The Mother of God will pray for China for the last time. And many of the Chinese will see the resilience of the Russians and will wonder: "why are they standing like that?" And many will repent of their error, and will be baptized en masse. And many will even accept martyrdom for Russia from their own. Then there will be rejoicing."
Archpriest Vladislav Shumov 1902-1996

“There will be such a war in Russia: from the west - the Germans, and from the east - the Chinese! When China goes to us, then there will be war. But after the Chinese conquer the city of Chelyabinsk, the Lord will convert them to Orthodoxy.”

Elder Gabriel, from the monastery of St. Luke [Svetoga Luke near Boschanim] (Serbia) 1902-1999

“The Russian Tsar will protect the Orthodox all over the world, including Serbia. Then the yellow people will accept Orthodoxy to the surprise of many.”

Saint Theophan of Poltava (Bystrov) 1872-1940 according to Schema Antony (Chernov)
“I console myself with the words of Archbishop Theophan. He says: I will not speak to you on the basis of my own understanding. I will tell you what the elders told me. What will Russia be. That the monarchy will be restored in Russia, that there will be a brilliant Tsar, great in mind, fiery in faith, a man of iron will. He will take matters into his own hands. Of the episcopate, only two bishops will remain, who will be recognized as faithful. The rest will be degraded, and there will be a new episcopate (I haven't said this yet). He repeated this very often. The state will be smaller than it was before the revolution. He said this in his thirties. He said that he would be a reformer of Siberia. That he will restore the fertility of Siberia ..”.
Here it is not entirely clear how the fertility of Siberia can be restored if China seizes Siberia as far as Chelyabinsk.

Schema. Nila (Kolesnikova) 1902-1999

The time will come when the Chinese will attack us, and it will be very difficult for everyone.
The mother repeated these words twice.
“Children, I saw a dream. There will be war. Lord, they will put everyone under arms, they will lead them to the front. Children and old people will stay at home. The soldiers will go from house to house and put everyone in a gun and drive them to war. Robberies and outrages of those who have weapons in their hands - and the earth will be littered with corpses. My children, how I pity you! - Mother repeated many, many times.

Archpriest Nikolai Rogozin 1898-1981

“There will be war. China will attack first. From there, the war must be. China will begin to occupy Siberia, then go to the Urals. And when other countries see that China borrows a lot, then they come to us and begin to reject China. As he put it: "And then the porridge will begin." At first, there will be such bloodshed, and then the atom will be turned on.” .

Elder Hieromonk Seraphim (Vyritsky) 1866-1949
Recorded by Maria Georgievna Preobrazhenskaya, Feofan Poltava's niece: “It was right after the war. I sang in the kliros of the Peter and Paul Church in the village of Vyritsa. Often, with the singers from our church, we approached Fr. Seraphim for blessing. Once one of the singers said: "Dear father! How good it has become now - the war is over, the bells in the churches rang again." And the elder replied: “No, that’s not all. There will still be more fear than it was. You will meet her again. It will be very difficult for young people to change their uniforms. Who will survive? .) But whoever remains alive - what a good life he will have.
I did not use other prophecies attributed to Seraphim Vyritsky regarding China, because I am not sure of their authenticity.
Analyzing the words of Russian holy fathers, monks and nuns, we can conclude that China will be involved in a world war. The Chinese army will reach the Urals. Perhaps it will stop there for a long time, or it will be thrown back later. Although, Russia is unlikely to be able to return to its former borders. For this, after the war there will be neither forces nor resources (human, first of all). The Lord will convert the Chinese to Orthodoxy, and this will be a mass phenomenon. The Greek holy fathers say almost nothing about China, most likely because China will not participate in military events in Greece. The Chinese, apparently, will be interested in Siberia. And maybe, “when the atom is turned on,” the Chinese army will be thrown back. And then our Tsar will have to "restore the fertility of Siberia."
Another possible scenario: Some liberal forces will come to power in Russia, which, indulging the West, will somehow contribute to the division of Russia. And China will occupy Siberia without war.
Schemamonk Joasaph (Moiseev) 1889-1976
“And everyone will climb on Russia, they will divide it,” he said. .
Shiigumen Mitrofan (Myakinin) 1902-1964
“Batiushka predicted that Russia would be divided into four parts. “Some will get to the good ones,” he said, “they will have a good life. And others will have a hard time - they will be mocked. God forbid, if someone gets into that part of the country that China will get.” .
It is the destruction of Russia without a war and can provoke a military coup, as Feofan Poltavsky says: when "Russia is on the verge of complete collapse" "at that moment a coup will take place. The army will take it into its own hands and save.” Further, Seraphim of Sarov will show us the Tsar, and a world war will begin, and all the events described by the Greek, Russian and Serbian holy fathers will take place.

Possible chronology of events

It is hard to imagine that Russia would go to the aid of Greece, with the advance of the Chinese army. The multimillion-strong Chinese army would tie down all our forces. And if our army goes to the aid of Greece, as the Greeks say, then this means that China at that time will either not yet participate in the war (it will suddenly enter later), or Siberia will already belong to it, and China will not decide for some reason then move on (for example, if Russia is divided into several parts as a result of the betrayal of the elites before the war, and some part will go to China). In other words, I do not think that we will be able to simultaneously stop the advance of the PLA and fight NATO on foreign territory for Constantinople.
Iona Odessa (Ignatenko) according to Yu.G. Samusenko said the following about the beginning of the Third World War: “It will begin with a small country, smaller than Russia. There will be an internal confrontation that will develop into a civil war. Much blood will be shed. And Russia, and the United States, and many countries will be drawn into this funnel of civil war of a small country. It can be assumed that the global fire will flare up gradually. Somewhere outside of Russia, a war will begin. Perhaps there will be a Turkish attack on Greece, as Joseph of Vatopedi says:

“The war will start with a conflict between Turkey and Greece.
Despite the resilience and great courage of the Greeks, the Turkish invasion would have devastating consequences. Many Greeks, many Russian and Serbian brothers in Christ, who volunteer to help the Greeks, will die. Turkey will invade deep into Greece and take over most of the Greek territory. At the beginning, NATO and the US will not directly intervene in this conflict, but will provide tacit support for the actions of the Turks.
The time will come when the world will think that the Greek people have disappeared. This will almost certainly happen, but mighty Russia will open its cards in defense of the Greek people and Orthodoxy. It will come as a surprise to everyone. Russian nuclear weapons launched into Turkey. Darkness covers the Balkan Peninsula and the Middle East.
At this point, the US and EU will join Turkey and declare war on Russia and Greece. The Vatican and the Pope will declare a holy war against the Orthodox "schismatics". The war will be terrible. Fire will fall from the sky on people. The United States will suffer a terrible defeat."

I can assume that Turkish expansion will not be limited to the territory of Greece. If you believe the prophecy inscribed on the tomb of Constantine, then Dalmatia will also suffer. And this means that the Turks will go deep into the Balkan Peninsula. And this is Bulgaria, and the countries of the former Yugoslavia.
“In the first year of the indiction, the power of Ismail, who is called Mahomet, will defeat the clan of Palaiologos, take possession of Semikholm, will dominate it, many people will destroy and devastate the islands to Pontus Euxinus. In the eighth year, the indicta will ruin those who live along the banks of the Istra, the Peloponnese will be desolated, in the ninth year it will fight in the northern lands, in the tenth year it will defeat the Dalmatians, turn back for a while, [but then] against the Dalmatians [again] raise a great battle, but those partial He will be defeated."

The Turks will kill the Greeks and maybe reach Serbia. The Serbian elder Thaddeus Vitovnitsky (1914-2003) said that persecution of the Serbian Orthodox Church would begin in Montenegro, and a civil war would begin. And later the war with the Kosovo Albanians. Vojvodina will take the path of separatism and the West will contribute to this. Elder Gabriel (Serbia) 1902-1999 says that Belgrade will be destroyed, columns of refugees will leave the city. There will be no healthy water in the cities. Blood will be shed in the Assembly, the people will rebel and a civil war will begin. [“The beograd is destroyed, the deo city is drowned. We see a column љudi kako pushtaјu hail bezhe. There it’s dangerous to beat the street, for fear of hurting your stomach. The hailstones have nothing to live on, send them to beat. the factory has nothing to be proud of, and the arc dzhavi has nothing to think about it. There is no water to be beaten for health, just at brdima and ppaninam. Spread se krv at Skupshtini, people se pobuniti, grahanski rat ћe krenuti "]
That is, there will be numerous conflicts in the Balkans. Turkey will decide to attack Greece, and maybe even move on. In this case, the Turks can walk around Bulgaria. Let me remind you that Bulgaria was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire for five centuries (from the 14th century to the 19th century). Freed from the Ottoman yoke as a result of the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878, Bulgaria took the side of our opponents in two world wars.

“In 1893, a worldwide collection of donations for the construction of the Warsaw Orthodox Cathedral was opened.
When the rumor about the proposed construction reached Fr. John of Kronstadt, known for his perspicacity, he said to his interlocutors:;;;
“... With bitterness I see the construction of this temple. But these are the commands of God. Not long after its construction, Russia will be filled with blood and break up into many short-term independent states. And Poland will become free and independent. But I also see the restoration of a powerful Russia, even stronger and more powerful. But this will happen much later. And then the Warsaw Cathedral will be destroyed. And then the share of trials will befall Poland. And then its last historical page will be closed. Her star will fade and go out "[ 37].;; On the photo is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. It was demolished by the Poles in 1926. Demolition money was collected throughout Poland. The Warsaw City Council even issued a special loan so that as many people as possible could participate in its demolition. This majestic cathedral, built on donations from Russian people, was demolished for political reasons. Moreover, in the first two years after Poland gained independence (1918-1920), about four hundred Orthodox churches were destroyed, and mass destruction of Orthodox shrines began. Simultaneously with Warsaw, in 1924-1925, the majestic Orthodox Cathedral in the name of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on the Lithuanian Square in Lublin was destroyed. Such actions continued throughout the entire period of the existence of the Second Rzeczpospolita, reaching their peak in the summer months of 1938. Then in June and July in the Kholm region, at the request of the “Catholic public”, about 150 rural Orthodox churches were destroyed by the military and police forces. All this happened in areas inhabited exclusively by Orthodox Ukrainians, who lived here for many centuries.
And how can one not recall the prophetic words of F.M. Dostoevsky (1821–1881) about the Slavic peoples of Europe: “...according to my inner conviction, the most complete and irresistible, Russia will not have, and never has had, such haters, envious people, slanderers and even obvious enemies as all these Slavic tribes, as soon as Russia liberates them, and Europe agrees to recognize them as liberated! ... They will certainly begin with the fact that inside themselves, if not directly aloud, they will declare to themselves and convince themselves that they do not owe Russia the slightest gratitude, on the contrary, that they have barely escaped Russia's lust for power ... These zemlyants will always quarrel among themselves , forever jealous of each other and intrigue against each other. Of course, in the moment of some serious trouble, they will all certainly turn to Russia for help. No matter how they hate, gossip and slander Europe, flirting with her and assuring her of love, they will always instinctively feel (of course, in a moment of trouble, and not before) that Europe is a natural enemy to their unity, was they will always remain, and that if they exist in the world, then, of course, because there is a huge magnet - Russia, which, irresistibly attracting them all to itself, thereby restrains their integrity and unity.
But we digress. In Europe, in the middle of the 21st century, big problems will begin. Wars, conflicts, murders, persecutions, confrontations between neighbors, annexation of territories. At the same time, we must remember that Russia will not stand as a mighty ear, but according to Feofan Poltava "will be on the verge of complete collapse." And the weakness of Russia will, presumably, become a destabilizing factor for Europe. But Russia will cope and will be able to mobilize. Patriotic citizens and the army will restore order in our country.
Knowing the mentality of the Russian people, we can say with confidence that Russia will not be able to remain deaf to the pleas for help from our neighbors, especially fellow believers. However, I am not sure that Russia will respond to requests for help from those countries where monuments to our soldiers-liberators are being demolished today. Another thing is Greece and Serbia. Joseph Vatopedsky mentions that Russian and Serbian volunteers will defend Greece from Turkish aggression.
“Despite the resilience and great courage of the Greeks, the Turkish invasion will have devastating consequences. Many Greeks, many Russian and Serbian brothers in Christ, who volunteer to help the Greeks, will die.” True, in the Serbian text that I found, there is no such information. But maybe the author of the Russian translation found an expanded text. In any case, it can be assumed that Russian citizens will volunteer to help their brothers, as has always been the case.

And when the military takes power in Russia, and order is restored, then Russia may be drawn into a military conflict in the Balkans. Maybe military assistance will be provided to Greece, maybe to Serbia. I used to think that the war would start after the Tsar appeared in Russia. However, life situations are sometimes much more difficult than we might think. In addition, Schema-Archimandrite Jonah of Odessa (Ignatenko) says that Russia will be drawn into the war gradually. Therefore, it may well turn out that by the time the Tsar is elected, Russia will already be drawn into the war in the Balkans.

And now, when Russia, helping fellow believers, gets involved in a war in Europe, then, probably, China will also enter the war. Then, for sure, "porridge will begin", and "the atom will be turned on", as Archpriest Nikolai Rogozin said. Only I think that China will not act with all its reserves - it will not be an army of 200 million that will go out to exterminate a third of humanity before the very end of the world (the events described in the Revelation of John the Theologian at the opening of the seventh seal / at the sixth angel). This time, China will have, so to speak, a test of strength. And it may happen that China will easily capture Siberia, but later will be hit by those who will also expect to own Siberia, or simply will not be interested in strengthening China. I think that the US will not miss the opportunity to inflict damage on its geopolitical competitor. If they are able to do it, I think they will. Those countries from which we least expect help can come forward on our side. So we do not know anything about how India will behave with its 1.3 billion population.

Russia will stand

The many prophecies that we have still do not allow us to build a clear picture of the future. We do not know what will happen in Russia before the war, before the election of the Tsar. But we can assume that there will be some political turbulence. Maybe everything will be much worse, maybe Russia will be divided into parts even before the war as a result of the betrayal of the comprador part of the ruling class, and a military coup will be required to restore the dying state. Presumably between 2048 and 2053.
There is reason to expect food prices to rise, and even famine, which inevitably occurs during periods of collapse of statehood. In the Revelation of John the Theologian, when the third seal is opened, it says: "a quinix of wheat for a denarius, and three quinixes of barley for a denarius." Hinix is ​​a measure equal to approximately one liter. And a denarius is the daily wage of a hired worker. From here, we can conclude what the prices will be: daily earnings will have to be paid for a liter of wheat, or a loaf of bread.
But Russia will not perish.

Schema-Archimandrite Zosima (Sokur) 1944-2002
“And now, in our time, the pounding all begins with Kyiv - the mother of Russian cities, from the cradle. And from there this pounding will roll all over the Russian land, it will not bypass Russia, nothing, there will be demonic possession all around. But Russia will stand, and there will be great grace, not even the forces of hell, the Antichrist, will not overcome the Russian Orthodox Church.”

The Lord and the Mother of God will not leave Russia. The people will be able to throw off the treacherous elite, which will bring our country to complete collapse, according to Feofan Poltava. And later, God, through Seraphim of Sarov, will indicate the Tsar (presumably this will happen in August 2053), under whose leadership we will be able to survive hard times, the invasion of foreigners, hunger, devastation and all the horrors and difficulties that accompany the war.
World War III, I believe, is referred to in Revelation as the opening of the fourth seal (Revelation 6:7-8). And truly Apocalyptic trials are coming. Joseph of Vatopedi speaks of 600 million dead as a result of the war. One must think that these will be not only military losses, but also those who died from starvation and disease. There is only one consolation: despite all the efforts of our enemies, Russia will not disappear. Russia will stand. And above all because God will not allow it. Although all the forces of hell will take up arms against Russia. In these terrible years, only faith and God will save: a soldier in the war, an old man, a woman with children - in cities that are deserted and plunged into anarchy.

And I urge you, friends, to turn to God, cling to the Church, let God into your life and teach this to your children. It will save you from hard times. Cherish the time, for the days are evil. (Eph.5:15) As Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose) wrote in 1934-1982 (USA): “Truly, it is now later than we think. The apocalypse is happening now. And how sad it is to see Christians, and even more young people, Orthodox youth, over whose heads an unthinkable tragedy hangs and who think that they can continue in these terrible times what is called "living a normal life", fully participating in the whims of an insane, self-deluding generation. . A generation completely unaware that the "fool's paradise" in which we live is about to collapse, completely unprepared for the desperate times that await us.

Why "yellow people will be baptized en masse"? Why will Orthodoxy shine on the whole world after the war? Because there will be many obvious miracles. Divine help will be seen by many. All the same Joseph of Vatopedi belongs to an interesting prophecy, which became known to us through the priest. Rafail (Berestova): “I met with Joseph Vatopedsky, a student of Joseph the Hesychast, he told me that a very terrible war was coming, and that NATO officers were losing military operations against Russia on computers. "But you tell," he says, "to the Russian authorities, so that they know that military operations are being prepared against them." I went and spoke about this to the authorities. He told me that there would be a brutal war, NATO would want America from all sides. They have already surrounded Russia from all sides. They tax Russia in order to destroy Orthodoxy. We are very worried about this. I said: "It is difficult for Russia, it will not stand against Europe, America - huge forces. We have no allies!" He said that Serbia and Greece would be an ally. I say: "These allies are not great, Russia will not cope." And he said that the heavenly host, the angels will knock down cruise missiles, there will be a victory for Orthodox weapons.

Monk Gabriel (Serbia) 1902-1999
“Such grace will be over Russia that when the Russian Tsar enters Serbian soil, it will tremble under his feet. With him such a Heavenly Army and retinue will be.
“By that time, Russia will become an empire, and then the big countries will only be afraid of the Russian Tsar. Such power and blessing will be with him that all the rulers of the world will tremble wherever he appears. Heavenly power will be with him. The Russian Tsar will protect the Orthodox throughout the world, including Serbia. Then the yellow people will accept Orthodoxy to the surprise of many.”
“Then, when the Russian Tsar enters the land of Serbia, so that our Tsar is crowned, the earth under him will tremble. The Heavenly Power will be with that royal retinue.
What's next?
Elder Hieromonk Seraphim (Vyritsky) 1866-1949 “To the question of his spiritual son about the future of Russia, the elder suggested that he look out the window overlooking the Gulf of Finland. He saw many ships sailing under different flags. - How to understand it? he asked the father. The elder answered: “There will come a time when there will be a spiritual flowering in Russia. Many churches and monasteries will open, even non-Christians will come to us to be baptized on such ships. But this is not for long - about fifteen years.
How long will this last dawn of Orthodoxy last throughout the world? The Greeks speak of 3-4 decades (Joseph Vatopedsky, Andrey Yurodivy), Seraphim Vyritsky speaks of 15 years. Be that as it may, it will last no more than one generation. Just one generation! And then everything that is described in the Revelation of John the Theologian will happen. There will be persecution of believers, there will be a decline in morals, a cooling of faith. However, according to the word of Christ, "the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church of Christ." Seraphim of Sarov told his spiritual children that until the end of the world churches will be preserved where the Liturgy will be served and prayers will be offered to our true Lord Jesus Christ.
One often comes across the opinion that troubles will not overcome Russia, and it will stand apart, while the whole world will plunge into evil and then fall under the power of the Antichrist. The whole world, except for Russia, which will remain with the Tsar until the last times. Alas, I cannot share such optimistic views. It would be nice, but I'm afraid it will be different. The fifth, sixth, and seventh seals must be broken. And there will be persecution of the Orthodox, as the saints say. Believers will be exiled, and then it is necessary to flee from the cities.

Rev. Lawrence of Chernigov (Proskura)
1868-1950
“In the last times, true Christians will be exiled, and let the old and weak at least grab the wheels and run after them.”
Schema-nun Nila (Kolesnikova)
1902-1999
“Where there is holiness, there the enemy climbs.<…>There will come a time when, as in the days after the October Revolution, Christians will be driven into prisons, reservations and drowned in the sea.
- When the persecution of believers begins, hurry to leave with the first stream of those leaving for exile, cling to the wheels of the trains, but do not stay. Those who leave first will be saved.”

Rev. Varsonofy optinsky (Plikhankov)
1845-1913
“Yes, mind you, the Colosseum is destroyed, but not destroyed. The Colosseum, you remember, is a theater where pagans admired the martyrdom of Christians, where the blood of Christian martyrs flowed like a river. Hell is also destroyed, but not destroyed, and the time will come when it will make itself felt. So the Colosseum, perhaps, will soon thunder again, it will be resumed. Remember this is my word. You will live to see these times."
How can these persecutions take place under an Orthodox Tsar? No way. These persecutions will be at the opening of the fifth seal.
“And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had. And they cried out with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord, Holy and True, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who live on earth? And white robes were given to each of them, and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both their co-workers and their brethren, who would be killed like them, would complete the number” (Revelation 6:9-11)
It will only get worse from there. Up to the point that “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth” (Luke 18:8). How could this be if the ear of Russia stood on the earth, headed by an Orthodox Tsar?
“And when He opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree, shaken by a strong wind, drops its unripe figs. And the sky disappeared, curled like a scroll; and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, and the nobles, and the rich, and the captains of thousands, and the mighty, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the gorges of the mountains, and they say to the mountains and stones: Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of his wrath has come, and who can stand? » (Revelation 6:12–17)
“And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, as it were, for half an hour. And I saw seven angels standing before God; and seven trumpets were given to them” (Revelation 8:1-2). Under the sixth angel, there will be an invasion of the two hundred million army of Gog from the land of Magog. After that, according to the word of the Myrrh-streaming Nile, when the Antichrist sits for 3.5 years in Jerusalem, the seas will dry up.
Rev. Nil Myrrh-streaming mind. 1651
“The following will be written on the seal: “I am yours” - “Yes, you are mine.” - "I go by will, not by force." - "And I accept you by your will, and not by force." These four sayings, or inscriptions, will be depicted in the middle of that accursed seal. Oh, unfortunate is he who is sealed with this seal! This accursed seal will bring great calamity upon the world. The world will then be so oppressed that people will begin to move from place to place. The natives, seeing the aliens, will say: oh, unfortunate people! How did you decide to leave your own, so fertile, place and come to this accursed place, to us, who have no human feeling left?! So they will say in every place where people will move from their place to another ... Then God, seeing the confusion of people, from which they suffer evil, moving from their places, will command the sea to perceive the ardor that was previously characteristic of it, which it used to have, so that they would not go for resettlement from place to place. And when the Antichrist sits on his accursed throne, then the sea will boil as water boils in a cauldron. When water boils for a long time in a boiler, does it evaporate with steam? So it will be with the sea. As it boils, it will evaporate and disappear like smoke from the face of the earth. Plants will dry up on the earth, oak trees and all cedars, everything will dry up from the heat of the sea, water veins will dry up; animals, birds and reptiles, all will die.” .
He who endures to the end will be saved. (Matthew 10:22)
And after all this, Christ will come!
Hey, come Lord Jesus!

P.S. The writer of this is not a seer. Everything written here is the result of analytics. Therefore, there may be errors. Humans tend to make mistakes. Only God does not make mistakes. And when you don't know what to do next, and how to act, trust God. The Lord will not leave. And remember: “The heart of the King is in the hand of the Lord” (Proverbs 21:1)!

Smirnov Alexander Alekseevich 16.10.2019 19:51 Alleged violation

Orthodoxy has undoubtedly been preserved and, perhaps, will be preserved (it is true, apparently, it is necessary to find out from the "prophets" - what did they dash off there about this? Or are their "prophecies" only discovered after what has already happened?) ... in Greece.
But in Greece, real Orthodoxy, and not perverted, not humiliated to the point of outright shameful groveling.
With regard to empires, of course. Empires (not only empires) fall apart, but countries, cities remain. Italy, for example, with its great Rome. And will ALWAYS! Where is Constantinople now? And who is there now Khaziin? BUT? Who followed the Byzantine faith? For Byzantine culture? And for what, FOR WHOM to go? Who did Byzantium give to the world? Dante? Petrarch? Boccaccio?...WHO? NOBODY! Therefore, from the civilized peoples ONLY Russian went. And he came ... to the most bloody, never and nowhere in the world unprecedented, Bolshevik cannibal coup. The Greeks have gone, say yes Greeks - they should not give up their past. But in Greece, as I already wrote, REAL Orthodoxy.

Dear Alexey Chernechik!

You simply do not know history, literature, or art history.

There is no educational program here. Be satisfied with your ignorance and calm your temper. He exposes you as an aggressive fool, nothing more.

You don't even know the history of Italy, which you admire. What peoples created this state and what relation do the ancient Romans have to them and how they inherited the heritage of Ancient Rome.

What can we say about the history of Byzantium? Have you heard about such a world science - Byzantine studies? One of the greatest sciences, towering between philosophy, history and world science. in the USSR since the 1930s. before the collapse, such a yearbook "Byzantine Studies" was published. Look in the libraries, they are definitely there. Find out what is the contribution of Byzantium to the development of world civilization, and only after that speak with your illiterate nonsense.

The daily audience of the Proza.ru portal is about 100 thousand visitors, who in total view more than half a million pages according to the traffic counter, which is located to the right of this text. Each column contains two numbers: the number of views and the number of visitors.

The media is increasingly talking about riots in one or another corner of the world. Conflicts occur both at the level of gangs and between heads of state, and this is fraught with global military clashes. At the level of modern weapons, any war will be bloody and destructive, leveling the city, leaving widows, widows, orphans.

Some believe that World War 3 has been going on for a long time and it is informational, when facts are distorted, half-truths are presented as truth, and lies are presented as an alternative point of view. Slander is not as harmless as it seems at first glance in any country there are, on the basis of false evidence, illegally convicted.

If a global intergovernmental conflict is brewing, everything can end in military action. So, will World War 3 start in 2020? What do famous clairvoyants, psychics, monastics, astrologers of the present and past think about this?

In the twentieth century Vanga was the most famous clairvoyant. Both ordinary people and the government elite came to her for advice. After her death, years later, scientists analyzed how accurately her predictions came true and it turned out that over 80% of what she predicted came true. According to researchers, this is a very high percentage, which indicates Vanga's undoubted prophetic gift.

Clairvoyant predictions for 2020:

1. Vanga said that from 2020 China will become the world superpower. Those countries that used to be leaders will fall into various economic dependencies, the standard of living of citizens in them will fall.
2. From 2020, trains on wires will rush towards the sun. Interpreters think that she meant the invention of some new engines powered by solar energy.
3. The clairvoyant warned of Syria, in which there would be a war. It will fall and this will be the beginning of World War 3.
4. Vanga said that from 2020 oil will no longer be produced all over the world and the earth will rest.

The monastic claimed that in 2020 the people of the Russian Federation would unite. He predicted the beginning of the war this year. Abel believed that the dark time would last no more, a lot - 9 years.

Experts and in our time are arguing how to decipher this or that quatrain of Nostradamus? The prophet looked 5 centuries into the future. Reality has changed so much that no wonder Nostradamus could not understand something, describe it incorrectly, make a mistake somewhere.

Certain dates are not affixed in the quatrains, as the states about which the story is told are called, there are many allegories in quatrains, but the researchers manage to guess what the prophet was talking about. This is especially true of key and significant events that have already taken place. Here is what is to be experienced in the near and more distant future:

• Experts deciphered that the prophet predicted floods in Europe in 2020. Why will they happen? Because of the showers, which will pour without stopping, 2 months. From one quatrain, where the enemy in red is mentioned, experts concluded that countries located near the seas of the oceans and whose flag has red color will suffer more than others. This is Italy, with the Czech Republic, Hungary, with Montenegro, England.
• In early June 2020, severe fires will break out across Russia. Before they are eliminated, the center will be scorched. Why will this happen? Due to abnormal heat both in Russia and around the world. To hide from stuffiness and heat, people will begin to move to the northern regions for permanent residence. There is another interpretation of the sizzling rays. Researchers assure that one of the bandit groups from the Middle East will use chemical weapons.
• In the East, an armed conflict will break out again, as a result of which many military and civilians will die. European leaders will act rashly and war will break out in a number of other countries. The conflict between those who profess Christianity and different denominations will escalate.

3 world will cover the entire planet. Nostradamus believed that Siberia would become the center of civilization at that time. People from all over the world will come to live in Russia and the country, along with China, will be the strongest in the world.

How did Wolf Messing see the future?

Many are sorry that no one wrote down the predictions for Messing. The prophecies have been lost because of this, and others have an unclear chronology, but researchers say that there is something for 2020.

Will World War 3 happen? Messing, believed that no, but predicted various achievements and changes for mankind.

According to the prophet, America in 2020 will begin hostilities in the East. It will be the mistake of those in power. There will be a recession in the economy, tension among the people will increase. In addition, America will suffer from various natural disasters.

Taiwan, a natural disaster will befall Japan, but Messing did not specify what exactly would happen. Due to instability in the EU countries, the euro will fall.

Predictions of the Matrona of Moscow

Many Orthodox believers revere the Matrona of Moscow. Much was revealed to her spiritually. She knew that the house of the Romanovs would fall and in 1917 a revolution would take place.

It was open to mother and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the Second World War. Researchers claim that her ominous prediction will affect our days and people will begin to die when there is officially no war, they will be alive in the evening, and in the morning everyone will be dead. Some researchers think that Matrona meant some kind of spiritual death of the people, others are inclined that such a number of sudden deaths indicates an earthquake or an atomic explosion.

Prediction of the future by Jonah of Odessa

The monastic elder said that no one would attack Russia in the future. Do not be afraid of aggression from the United States.

Batiushka claimed that World War 3 would begin to emerge in a country smaller than the Russian Federation. There, there will be internal unrest and a civil war will break out. The Russian Federation, with the USA and other countries will take part in it - this will be the beginning of World War 3.

By the way, Archimandrite Jonah from Odessa claimed that he would die, 1 year would pass, and those sorrowful events would begin. Indeed, he reposed in December 2012. A year has passed in Ukraine, unrest began, there was a “Euro Maidan” ...

Prediction of astrologer Pavel Globa

He believes that in 2020 Russia is not threatened with anything more than sanctions. There is a cold war going on in the world.

The US and Europe are expected to increase the unemployment rate, their currencies will fall in price. In the world, the EU will no longer be such an influential union as before.

Globa in 2020-2021 does not foresee World War 3. Military clashes will continue to arise in certain countries.

There is a decline in the West, and the Russian Federation during this period will attract, unite and influence the countries that were part of the USSR in the past. More and more natural disasters will arise in the world due to the riots of nature, and countries will support each other to the best of their ability.
