2004.12.12 - The Word of God thirteen years after the consecration of the Holy of Holies of the New Jerusalem by Lord Jesus (top 10 motivational books txt) 📖

today it has not been able to exceed the seventh age. It has not been possible because of us, because, like his offspring with the same blood, we are the same with him and our journey is common. And until today the seven ages of this world have not been fulfilled, which we have been measuring by years. When they are fulfilled, the Most High will raise a terrifying wind all over the world. Then the bones of the people will come together and they will join harmoniously with each other. Then the sinews were on them and flesh came up; and each soul, which was unloosed from its mortal body, will receive the immortal one.  

Then an angel will sound his frightening trumpet and the world will be shaken. The graves will be opened, the dead will come to life in a split of a second and the Judge will come down, Who will give each one according to his works. Then the eighth age will begin, as Solomon says: “Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight.” (Ecclesiastes 11:2). This age will have no end. The righteous ones will be brought into the unspeakable joy and into the eternal life, while the sinners will be taken for their endless punishment. After the resurrection of the people, the people will become incorruptible and imperishable, the paradise – eternal, the hell – endless, and that age, without an end.

 

 

The Prophecies of the Saint Nilus of Mt. Athos,

            (1612-1692 AD)

            The increasing of the lawlessness

 

When the lawlessness will increase all the evil works and all the unclean things of the world will be gathered together and will be treasured within an unclean daughter of debauchery, which will be a dwelling place for extreme debauchery. For as Our Lady, Mother of God, was most clean before she gave birth and while giving birth and after birth, Most Holy Virgin, and she gave birth to Immanuel, who did not know sin; on the contrary, that filthy daughter, the mother of lawlessness, before giving birth, while giving birth and after birth, will be a prostitute, unclean and most unrestrained all her life.

To this prostitute all the iniquities will be added and she will give birth to the son of perdition. And because the people lack the Gift of the Holy Spirit, due to their sins and trespasses, then all the iniquities of the people will be assembled and will come to life in her womb. And after the birth of the son of the sin, the people will face many shortcomings.

First, they will be deprived of love, of unity, of cleanliness. Then, every place and every city will be in want of shepherds, fearful of God, and of faithful proestos[3]; third, God’s churches will be in want of bishops, of confessors and of devout priests, as they have already begun to be in want now. After that, this filthy one will appear as well, according to the growth of his age and he will be filled with satanic power and he will make miracles and signs before the eyes of the people, of those who lust, as also Chinops made a false resurrection and other things like that; because deception has nothing to do with the Christians, but only with those who are darkened by passions (as Macarius, the Great, used to see the woman in her nature, and the people saw her as a mare). And he will become hypocrite by making use of gentleness for the nations to bow to his deception and that he may become a king.

Also, he will appear peaceful and humble, so that all people may worship him. His food will be the making of trouble to the people; when the people get into trouble, he will rejoice over them. This is the denial of faith, of God’s fear, debauchery, adultery, sodomy, love of riches, love of silver, denigration, jealousy, lying, slander, condemnation, and all other evil things. He will be fed on all these and will reign over all the cities. Because there has been no other person worthy to have dominion over the cities, because of this, he will rule over the whole world and it will have this one as almighty. Then the more sins they do, the more they will consider that they work out their salvation. Then the Holy Gospel and the Church of Christ will be denigrated and there will be many shortcomings in the world, signs and visions from God in the midst of want, twofold famine: deliberate and felt.

It will be felt because the sky will be closed as in the time of Elijah, because of the people’s iniquities, and it will not rain; the people will be hungry of the word of God, because there will be no righteous man with good works to teach them the word of salvation. God’s blessing will be taken away from eating and drinking, because, the more they eat the more hungry will they be. Then the rich will open their treasures; gold and silver will be then denigrated and will be trampled like stones. Then the wickedness of the morning star will be conceived in the people’s hearts and paganism will live having the seal of antichrist. And the grace of God will be taken away from the people, as the Scripture says: the Spirit of God will not dwell in these people, because they are all flesh. The people will grew less in number; they will grow weak and die on the roads like birds; those who are sealed by antichrist will eat meat from dead people, not being able to undergo famine and faintness, and, by eating dead corpses, they will also die.

And the meaning of the seal of the antichrist is this: I am yours and you are mine and I come willingly and not by force. Woe to those who are sealed! There will be great turmoil in the world and hearing of peace in some other parts, the people will go there, but they will find there even more poverty. And they will hear from the inhabitants: “Oh, how did you come to this cursed place, where human compassion has not been left with us?”

Then God, seeing the people’s turmoil, will give order to the sea to come to its first state. And it will go up the fire under the earth, by which the warm waters are getting hot and the seawater boils just as the water boils when heated by fire, and then the people will stop moving from place to place; the face of the earth will burn by the boiling sea and the earth will be scorched; there will no longer grow any grass and the trees will no longer spring forth little branches; the springs of waters will go dry, the animals and birds will die from the steams of the sea and from brimstone. And behold, the time is coming near and you do not understand this!

So, God, taking care of the salvation of the people with a good will, will send then Enoch, Elijah and John, the Theologian, to preach and strengthen the testimony of those few who will be saved, and to learn that those who will not be sealed by the seal of the antichrist, will be saved; and to be marked by the sign of the Holy Cross, because the sign of the Holy Cross saves the man from the damnation of the hell; and the seal of the antichrist gives him over to the judgment of the hell.

If you go hungry, be patient, for the Lord sends you help from the highest. And the people will say: “Behold, as many as are sealed are satisfied!” And he will speak to them: “The people have not been pleased with the sealing of their perdition, but the deception made them unfeeling and they do not know their salvation.” The materialistic people became devils and they feel neither famine nor thirst, because they have made a union with themselves; but they go hungry and thirsty more than you, seven by seven. Be patient for a little while and you will see those who are sealed, dying both in their soul and in their body. Those from among you, who will be patient, will live eternal life.

Then antichrist, seeing the three Prophets preaching the truth and bringing his deception into the light, will become angry and will give orders to be brought before him. First, he will try to entice them, saying: “Why do you not want to be sealed by the royal seal?” And then they will admonish him openly for his deception, saying to him: “Oh, deceiver and liar antichrist! Is it not enough for you that you lost so many souls, but you also want to deceive us to listen to you? May your seal and may your glory be cursed, and once with your perdition, the end of the world has come too.”

And the filthy one, hearing this admonishing and the curses, which made them holy, he himself will take the sword and will strike them. And after their death he will give orders to his people to commit many evil things, such as: debauchery, sexual immoralities, sodomies, killings, kidnappings, lies, thefts, tyrannies, selling of people and buying of children, male and female, and there will be committed sexual immoralities in the roads, into the open, like dogs.

And the people, seeing the freedom of the filthy one, will quench the human nature by many kinds of evil things, trying to be compassionate and thoughtful, and because of their great wickedness the decency of the people will disappear and they will come out of their minds because of their too much restlessness, and they will become shorter in their bodies like the devils.

 

Other prophecies of the Saint Nilus[4]

 

The great ingratitude was shown and it is showed and it will still be shown even greater on behalf of the monks on this mountain (Athos). And especially, the ingratitude will be shown to the Mother’s Lord. Because of this I say: when there will come to be four times 25 years, that is 100 years, from 1775 to 1875, then what will be the state of the monachal life? And after that, when three times 25 years will pass, that is, from 1875 to 1950, which is in the midst of the eighth age from the creation of the world, that is, 7500, then how much trouble will there be from 7400 to 7500? What kind of kidnappings will there be? Blood blending, (that is, relatives will be married to each other), abortions, sodomies, adulteries, sexual immoralities and all other corruptible iniquities. And they will keep on quarreling and they will neither find the beginning nor the end. And finally, there the end of the Hagarians (the Turks) will also come, the last and most bitter winter. For then there will be discord and oppression in the whole world…

There had been 25 years since the sphere turned to the worse things, that is, from 1785 forward, and the destruction had ruled. But when the other 25 years will have passed, what kind of miserable state will the world get into? That is, in 1835, and after that, up to 7500 years since the creation of the world, there will take place all the evil things of the antichrist… Because, this age of the vain living and the order of the monachal establishment, are separated: those in the morning are like flames of fire; those in the midday are like the burning coals, and those in the evening are like hot ashes mixed with cold ashes, which remained from the burning coals… For the love of silver makes the monk hate the narrow way and it makes him love his rest and his laziness
