From what I am sensing, God could be testing our faith more and more. After Turkey back stabbed Russia just days ago, it seems more people become ignorant from seeing what is happening.
Before I make my own, I want my viewers to read and understand this from the article http://www.pravoslavie.ru/english/88169.htm:
“Events will start that will culminate with us taking back Constantinople. Constantinople will be given to us. There will be war between Russia and Turkey. In the beginning the Turks will believe they are winning, but this will lead to their destruction. The Russians, eventually, will win and take over Constantinople. After that it will be ours. They will be forced to give it to us.”
The text reads further, “(The Turks) will be destroyed. They will be eradicated because they are a nation that was built without God’s blessing. One third of the Turks will go back to where they came from, the depths of Turkey. One third will be saved because they will become Christians, and the other third will be killed in this war.” This is based on the Saint Kosmas prophecy.
“Turkey will be dissected. This will be to our benefit as a nation. This way our villages will be liberated, our enslaved homelands. Constantinople will be liberated, will become Greek again. Hagia Sophia will open again,” the text reads.
“Turkey will be dissected in 3 or 4 parts. The countdown has begun. We will take the lands that belong to us, the Armenians will take theirs and the Kurds their own. The Kurdish issue is at the works,” the text continues.
Paisios wrote further: “As long as there is faith and hope in God, a lot of people will rejoice. All that will happen in these years. The time has come.”
Ok, this might scare other people who are obsessed with the ''end of times'' mentality or those who lack faith just because they don't have money or they had a part of their life something bad because of any circumstances but my message to everyone is, no matter what happens if we lose anything(loved ones or jobs), we shall never lose our faith. Losing our faith means losing everything.
People these days tend to party without ceasing or wasting their money to people they think are useful but they are being double-crossed all the time. Instead of going to confession on a regular basis, they do it when there is special occasions out of shame when saying their sins to a priest.
Why would people be ashamed of their sins? Because the priest is just human? I will say NO! The priest is God's ears and on a church, God is waiting for our heartfelt confession because he gave us the loop whole of salvation and the union with all the saints. We shall not lose our faith more and more as the news says or the temptations made by Satan against us.
Let's be brave regardless of what's happening in our current world now and enrich our faith by heart and works.
