Login to the site

Today, under the cover of secrecy, with the participation and leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Eighth Ecumenical Council of the Antichrist is being prepared, about which our Orthodox elders said that the Antichrist would be secretly or openly present at it, and that after this Council such changes would be made to the Divine Liturgy and other Sacraments of the Church, after which will no longer be allowed to go to churches, namely: - at the Council of Antichrist, all faiths will be united into one; not only will there be a unification of the “churches,” but also a worldwide renunciation of humanity from God the Pantocrator; the dogmatic legality of ecumenism will be accepted, and our Patriarchs will begin to commemorate the Pope; there will be only three Orthodox bishops in the Holy Synod; the rest will greet the Antichrist with open arms, - all fasts will be abolished, - monasticism will be completely destroyed, - bishops will be married, - the New Calendar calendar will be introduced in the Universal Church, - Orthodox churches will be Catholicized, people will begin to serve in churches in red dresses, - the Divine Liturgy will no longer be performed according to the order, the service will become half, will be shortened, there will be a Catholic service: they will change the “Creed”, they will change or not read the “Our Father”, they will not read “We Sing”, “I Believe”; then the grace of God will leave the church, and it will no longer be possible to go there, - There will be no Sacrament of Communion in churches, go to church while the Life-giving Cup is being taken out, - when we live to see the times when they will sing and write instead of “Alleluia” - “ Hallelujah,” then it will be impossible to pray from those books; This is one of the signs that the time of the Antichrist is approaching - public worship will stop, the singing of psalms will fall silent, - it will be impossible to go to church when there is a star instead of a cross on the prosphora. ... The enemy will make a six-pointed star, this is the star of the Antichrist.

EIGHTH ANTICHRIST COUNCIL (ECUMENICAL) “We first heard about the codes from Father /Schiarchimandrite Isaiah/, about their danger. Father said: the whole world rests only on the Orthodox Liturgy, where it is said: “We still pray for our God-protected country, its authorities and its army,” as soon as it stops happening, great destruction will come, and if a new Ecumenical Council takes place, then, of course, the world will shake.” . (Schiarchimandrite Isaiah (Korovai) /27/, p.69). “The eighth ecumenical council is planned. If this happens, then after the council it will no longer be possible to go to churches, grace will go away. If the council takes place, then China will attack Russia...” (Elder Adrian /51/). “... soon all /religions/ will unite... before the end, but not the end. This is more like the beginning. The beginning of irreversibility, the countdown will begin. And if we call it the end, then the end of the flow of the usual world order” (Fr. Anthony in the book: A. Krasnov /2/, p. 126). “The end times are coming. There will soon be an ecumenical council called “The Holy One.” But this will be the same “eighth council”, which will be a gathering of the godless. On it all faiths will unite into one. Then all posts will be abolished, monasticism will be completely destroyed, bishops will be married. The New Calendar will be introduced in the Universal Church. Be carefull. Try to visit God's temples while they are still ours. Soon it will be impossible to go there, everything will change. Only a select few will see this. People will be forced to go to church, but we will not have to go there under any circumstances. I pray you, stand in the Orthodox faith until the end of your days and you will be saved!” (Venerable Kuksha of Odessa in the book: A. Krasnov /2/, p. 272). The Eighth Council will be wicked. The Antichrist will not allow you to sing “I Believe.” The bird will fly past, he will order it: “At my feet,” and without breaking the wall, it will fall at his feet. And then many will immediately bow to him, but not all. Many Orthodox priests will bow when they see a miracle. At the eighth council there will be a rainbow around him. He will show his strength again, and then many will bow to him. And whoever of the priests does not bow will immediately kill him. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 1), Archpriest Nikolai Ragozin, 1:16). At the Antichrist Council there will be not only a unification of “churches,” but also a worldwide renunciation of humanity from God the Almighty” (Fr. Anthony in the book: A. Krasnov /2/, p. 127). “It is written in the Gospel that persecution will be everywhere, and woe to him who changes the Gospel.” (Archimandrite Gabriel (Urgebadze) /49/). “Father /Gury/ said that the VIII Ecumenical Council will no longer be Orthodox, the Antichrist will be secretly present at it. In the Holy Synod there will be only three Orthodox (bishops), the rest will greet the Antichrist with open arms” (Radiant Father (about Abbot Guria) /8/, p.80). As soon as the Antichrist reigns at the Eighth Council, he will immediately fly around the entire Earth and announce to everyone: “I am the king,” so that everyone will bow to him. After the seal there will be no forgiveness. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 1), Archpriest Nikolai Ragozin, 1:26). “Remembering the prediction of St. Lavrentiy of Chernigov about the times of the threshold of the Antichrist / in connection with the upcoming Eighth Ecumenical Council and the issues that will be discussed at it - about changing the calendar to a new style, etc./, we came to ask the priest / Schema-Archimandrite Isaiah (Korovaya) / what we all need do. If we do not perceive all this, should we leave the monastery? He replied that there was no need to leave, we needed to stand up for what we wanted, and if they kicked us out, then it was no longer our will. We told him again: “Well, father, where should we go, where should we go?” He reassures: “What do you think? Will everyone rush to all these innovations? No. There will be deacons and priests who will not accept such innovations. And we will unite around them. As Saint Ignatius the God-Bearer says: where the bishop is, there is the Church.” (Schiepishop Alypiy (Pogrebnyak) in the book: “Schiarchimandrite Isaiah (Korovai)”, p. 375). “And if they succeed with the Council, then the dogmatic legality of ecumenism will be accepted, and our Patriarchs will begin to commemorate the Pope. Then Orthodox people will find themselves in a very difficult situation. Then the devoted children of Christ will need to assemble their own Council, and publicly condemn the Council of Rhodes, if one happens. And denounce all his legalized heresies. And it will be necessary to canonically anathematize all participants in the Council, thus purifying the Church. I think it will be so! And our Church, by the grace of God, will maintain itself in immaculate purity, even with two or three faithful bishops. If there are no such people, then we will have to look for one faithful bishop, and cleave to him, and be saved near him. As you know, before the Second Coming of Christ, the church will be like a harlot sitting on a beast - it will already be the Antichrist church, and the Church of Christ will go into the catacombs” (Elder Raphael /51/). “Before the appearance of the Antichrist, the Eighth Ecumenical Council of all Churches must take place under the One Head of Christ the Life-Giver and under the one Protection of the Mother of God, One in God Almighty, with the first patriarch reserving his royal power as the prototype of the eternal kingdom of Jesus Christ, also for the unification and reunification of all of the holy Churches of Christ against the maturing anti-Christian direction under the One Head of Christ the Life-Giver and under the one protection of His Most Pure Mother and for the final damnation of all Freemasonry and all similar parties (under whatever names they would appear), the main leaders of which have one common goal: under the pretext complete equal improvement on earth with the help of people fanatized by them to cause anarchy in all states and destroy Christianity throughout the world and, finally, with the power of gold concentrated in their hands, to subjugate the whole world to anti-Christianity, in the person of the autocratic king, the God-fighting king, alone over all peace. Satan was the first revolutionary, and through this he fell from heaven. There is nothing in common between the teachings of his followers and the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ; there is a huge gap here. The Lord, through doing the commandments given by Him, calls humanity to heaven, where truth dwells. The spirit of darkness promises the establishment of heaven on earth." (Reverend Seraphim of Sarov /52/).

WHEN STILL CAN YOU GO TO TEMPLES

“While the Divine is being performed according to the order, go and sing, take communion” (Fr. Anthony in the book: A. Krasnov /2/, p. 292). “Repairs of churches will continue until the coming of the Antichrist, and everywhere there will be unprecedented splendor. And for our church, be moderate in its appearance when it comes to repairs. Pray more, go to church while you can, especially to the Liturgy, at which the Bloodless Sacrifice is offered for the sins of the whole world. Confess more often and partake of the Body and Blood of Christ, and the Lord will strengthen you” (Venerable Lavrenty of Chernigov /4/, p.99). “Take Holy Communion often. Christ's Mysteries. Run, crawl to the temple while you can. And when the Antichrist comes and sits on the throne, then they will change the entire service (they will change the “Creed”, “Our Father”), then the grace of God will leave the temple, and it will no longer be possible to go there” (Radiant Father (about Abbot Guria) /8 /, p.77). “Slavik said that it is necessary to go to those churches where divine services will be performed in the old way, even when the Creed is changed in other churches - to go for confession and Communion, and added that not all priests will betray God. And then almost no one will go to churches.” (Krasheninnikova V.A. “Sent by God” /25/, pp. 25-26). There will be no crosses in churches. First, crosses for monks will disappear, then other crosses will begin to disappear. And when it is necessary to baptize a child, but there will be no crosses. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 2), Schearchim. Christopher, 2:29). “And then Father / Schema-Archimandrite Christopher / blessed us to stock up on crosses. “There will be no crosses,” he said. First, the monastic crosses will disappear, then the small pectoral crosses... you might want to baptize your child, but there will be no crosses. Stock up on crosses. Stock up on candles, stock up on oil so that you can light a candle or a lamp at home and pray. - And when it is impossible to receive communion, the priest blessed us to stock up on Epiphany water and prosphora: - Cut the prosphora finely, dry it and put it in airtight jars so that not a single bug can crawl. And then, through your prayers, a drop of Epiphany water and a drop of prosphora, the Lord will impute to you for Communion. Then we receive communion in church, but you won’t be able to go to church, and Epiphany water and a prosphora will be given to you instead of Communion... And then our churches will be occupied, and everything will be destroyed, as it was then (during the revolution), so it will be again” (Book: Schema-Archimandrite Christopher /20/, p. 329). CATHOLICIZATION OF RUSSIA Father Christopher to his spiritual daughter: There will be a Catholic service. Listen, they won’t read “We Sing”, “Our Father”, “I Believe” - don’t go to church. Then there will be nowhere to go. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 2), Schearchim. Christopher, 2:06). “He said / Schema-Archimandrite Christopher / that soon everything will be Catholic in the Church, as the Creed will be changed in churches, it will be impossible to walk, and then all churches will be closed” (Book: Schema-Archimandrite Christopher / 20 /, p. 257). There will be Catholicization of Orthodox churches. (/12/ “Salt of the Earth” (Film 5), Hegumen Gury, 2:01). “Catholicism is coming to Russia, and it is already close...” (Scheigumen Alexy (Shumilin) ​​/21/, p. 43). One or three Orthodox churches will remain in Vologda, the rest of the churches will be occupied by Catholics. (/12/ “Salt of the Earth” (Film 5), Hegumen Gury, 2:19,2:49). “Shortly before her death /Mother Alipia/ changed her fasts and holidays for two weeks” (“In the Pastures of the Mother of God” /15/, p. 21). “The Bible that is printed is wrong. They (apparently the Pharisaic Jews - Author) will throw out of there what concerns them, they do not want reproach (03.14.89).” (Schemonun Macaria from the book “Given by God” /30/, p.188). “A change of faith is being prepared. When this happens, the saints will retreat and will not pray for Russia. And those who exist (from the faithful. - Author). The Lord will take you to Himself. And the bishops who allow this will neither here nor there (in the next world. - Author) see the Lord (03.08.88).” (Schemonun Macaria from the book “Given by God” /30/, p.188). “Soon the service will be reduced to half capacity and will be reduced. (07/11/88). They will retain the service only in large monasteries, and in other places they will make changes (05.27.88). I only say one thing: woe comes to the priesthood, they will scatter one by one and live (06/28/89). They will serve in churches in red dresses. Now the evil Satan will take everyone (05.20.89).” (Schemonun Macaria from the book “Given by God” /30/, p.188). Ecumenism will be imposed on the church, there will be a strong Catholicization of Russia. Some kind of trick will be invented, and two or three true priests will remain in Tula; at least one, if they beg. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 2), Schearchim. Christopher, 2:01). There will be no Sacrament of Communion in churches. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 2), Schearchim. Christopher, 2:30). The time will come when you will receive communion in the catacombs. It is necessary to prepare Cahors, prosphora, and flour for this time. There will not be a single Russian church. Catholics will be forced into churches, and persecution will begin against those who do not go. You are not allowed to enter these temples. And if you go, you need to shed a lot of tears so that the Lord will forgive (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 2), Schearchim. Christopher, 1:55). I was young then, I had no idea what catacombs were, I didn’t even know the word. Father Kuksha explained to me: “In the cellars, that means, with some believing priest, prepare wine and prosperous bread, and he will take you at night, so that no one I learned that in the cellar he will give communion (with spare Gifts)” (Book: Schema-Archimandrite Christopher /20/, p. 237). “And then there will be a confusion of faiths. Crosses, body crosses, and paramana crosses will gradually disappear from sale. Then it will no longer be possible to go to churches, there will be no Holy Communion, i.e. The Eucharist will not be celebrated, and therefore the priest blessed us to stock up on candles, lamp oil, crosses, baptism water, prosphora, and antidoron. And at home, instead of going to church, pray unceasingly. There will be no Holy Communion, but the Lord will then count a sip of holy water and a piece of antidor into Communion. And by the coming of the Antichrist throughout Tula (Tula Diocese), only one monastery will remain - in Kolyupanovo, and there the water of Blessed Euphrosyne will never dry up, it won’t be anywhere, and in Kolyupanovo there will be kilometer-long queues for water.” (Book: Schema-Archimandrite Christopher /20/, p. 87). Kuksha of Odessa told his spiritual daughter that there would be only Catholic churches. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 2), Schearchim. Christopher, 1:54). “... the demon will enter the monastery with heresy, and then it will no longer be a holy monastery, but simple walls from which grace will retreat” (Venerable Anatoly Optina in the book: A. Krasnov /2/, p. 237). “I repeat once again that it will be impossible to go to those churches, there will be no grace in them” (Rev. Lavrentiy of Chernigov /4/, p.99). “The dominance of the Catholicized will very soon be complete, they will lead the Church to the abomination of desolation. Their time has come. They wear Orthodox robes only to seduce the flock, and not to preserve it.” (Fr. Anthony in the book: A. Krasnov /2/, p. 296).

WHEN YOU CAN NO LONGER GO TO TEMPLES “And when the Antichrist comes and sits on the throne, then they will change the entire service (they will change the “Creed”, “Our Father”), then the grace of God will leave the temple, and it will no longer be possible to go there.” (Radiant Father (about Abbot Guria) /8/, p. 77). “The eighth ecumenical council is planned. If this happens, then after the council it will no longer be possible to go to churches, grace will go away. If the council takes place, then China will attack Russia...” (Elder Adrian /51/). “The time is coming when inactive churches (closed) will be repaired and equipped, not only outside, but also inside. The domes of both churches and bell towers will be gilded. And when everything is finished, the time will come when the Antichrist will reign. Pray that the Lord will continue this time for us to strengthen, because a terrible time awaits us. And see how cunningly everything is prepared? All the churches will be in the greatest splendor, as never before, but it will be impossible to go to those churches” (Rev. Lavrentiy of Chernigov /4/, p.96). “Mother (Alypia) predicted a lot about the change of the calendar, and about the change in fasts, and that the faith would change, and warned: “Then it will be impossible to go to church, but the Lord will take His own first, and will not allow them to suffer.” Due to the violation of the calendar and fasting, first there will be a severe death of livestock, and then people will go away (“In the Pastures of the Mother of God” /15/, p. 13). Go to church while the Life-Giving Chalice is being brought out and “I Believe” is being sung. Then they will force you into church, but you will no longer be able to go when there is no more grace. (/12/ “Salt of the Earth” (Film 5), Hegumen Gury, 2:27). “There will be churches, but an Orthodox Christian will not be able to go to them, since the Bloodless Sacrifice of Jesus Christ will not be offered there, and there will be all the “satanic gathering...” (Venerable Lavrenty of Chernigov /4/, p.98). I will go to the Lord... while I can still go to church. But shortly after me there will be a confusion of faiths, and it will no longer be possible to go to churches, there will be no Eucharist and there will be no Communion. This horned one will creep up so cunningly that you will see: the churches will be open, and the services will continue to go on, as they sang, they will sing there... And then... pray in your cells, but never leave prayer. Only with God, only with prayer! (Book: Schema-Archimandrite Christopher /20/, pp. 328-329). Father Christopher told his spiritual daughter: There will be a Catholic service. Listen, they won’t read “We Sing”, “Our Father”, “I Believe” - don’t go to church. Then there will be nowhere to go. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 2), Schearchim. Christopher, 2:06). Father Nikolai Ragozin blessed us to go to church until the last moment, until they change the Creed, stop singing the “Our Father,” change the seal on the prosphora, and remove the tabernacle from the throne. (/12/ “Salt of the Earth” (Film 1), Archpriest Nikolai Ragozin, 0:56). Noah's Ark (tabernacle) will be removed from the Throne, and “I Believe” and “Our Father” will not be sung. It is impossible to conduct a service without the Ark. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 1), Archpriest Nikolai Ragozin, 1:06). St. Hippolytus of Rome (†01/30/268) says: “I will also mourn the great sorrow of the Church. After all, (then) there will be no offering, no incense, no service pleasing to God; but the buildings of the Churches will be like huts intended for storing fruits; In those days the venerable Body and Blood of Christ will not be lifted up. Public worship will cease, the singing of psalms will fall silent, the reading of the Scriptures will not be heard: and there will be darkness for people, and weeping for weeping, and groans for groans. Then they will throw silver and gold along the roads, and no one will collect them, and everything will become disgusting. In fact, everyone will try to run away and hide, and, however, will not have the opportunity to hide anywhere from the wrath of the enemy, as those bearing his sign, they will be easily detected and recognized” /50/. “Before his death, Vladyka /Archbishop Anthony/ ordered his spiritual children and cell attendants to be cared for in the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, warning, however, that the time would come when it would be impossible to go to those churches where they would change the Creed, switch to the “new style” calendar or read the Gospel and the Apostle in Russian, and not in Church Slavonic. At the same time, he noted that if at least three priests perform all services correctly, then the Church will stand, and it will stand, since the Lord said that the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” (Archbishop Anthony, Golynsky and Mikhailovsky /48/). Mother of the boy Vyacheslav: “Imagine incredible, absolutely incredible fiction: there is a chip in the icon…. What kind of Christian, knowing that there is a chip there, will pray? Who will stand and ask, who will ask? Who is recorded there, it’s not all from God. So Slavochka said that people will be afraid. They will be afraid of the chipped icon, they will be afraid of what is happening; they will be especially struck by the abolition of the Creed or its change. Therefore, people will stop going to churches” (Russian Angel. Youth Vyacheslav. Film 2, part 3 /24/ /24/, 0:10:00). Youth Vyacheslav: “Even when the Creed is changed or abolished, we must look for a priest who has not betrayed God, who serves in the old way, and receive Communion, confessing our sins. Otherwise, people won’t be able to stand it, they will become stupid” (Russian Angel. Youth Vyacheslav. Film 2, part 3 /24/ /24/, 0:11:00). “Slavochka said that almost all churches will be occupied by the Antichrist” (Russian Angel. Youth Vyacheslav. Film 2, part 3 /24/ /24/, 0:15:00). “The elders of the times of St. Seraphim (Romantsev) Glinsky said: “When we reach the time when they will sing and write instead of “Alleluia” - “Alleluia”, then it will be impossible to pray from those books. This is one of the signs that the time of the Antichrist is approaching.” (Schiarchimandrite Isaiah (Korovai) /27/, p.152). It will be impossible to go to church when the prosphora has a star instead of a cross. ... The enemy will make a six-pointed star, this is the star of the Antichrist. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 1), Archpriest Nikolai Ragozin, 1:04,1:05). “Soon the sorcerers will spoil all the prosphora and there will be nothing to serve with (the liturgy. - Author). And you can take communion once a year. The Mother of God will tell her people where and when to receive communion. You just have to listen!” (28.06.89) (Schemonun Macaria from the book “Given by God” /30/, p.188). After the coming of the Antichrist, churches will have his icons (portraits). Then there is nothing to do in the temple. (/12/ “The Salt of the Earth” (Film 1), Archpriest Nikolai Ragozin, 1:06).

How were the Ecumenical Councils different from each other?

The Ecumenical Councils were attended by the heads of local Churches or their official representatives, as well as the episcopate representing their dioceses. The dogmatic and canonical decisions of the Ecumenical Councils are recognized as binding for the entire Church. In order for the Council to acquire the status of “Ecumenical”, reception is necessary, i.e., the test of time, and the acceptance of its resolutions by all local Churches. It happened that, under severe pressure from the emperor or an influential bishop, the participants in the Councils made decisions that contradicted the truth of the Gospel and Church Tradition; over time, such Councils were rejected by the Church.

1st Ecumenical Council

took place under Emperor Constantine the Great, in 325, in Nicaea.

It was devoted to exposing the heresy of Arius, the Alexandrian priest, who taught that the Son was created and that there was a time when He did not exist; He categorically denied the consubstantiality of the Son with the Father. The Council proclaimed the dogma that the Son is God, consubstantial with the Father. At the Council, 7 members of the Creed and 20 canonical rules were adopted.

2nd Ecumenical Council

, convened under the Emperor Theodosius the Great, took place in Constantinople in 381.

The reason was the spread of the heresy of Bishop Macedonius, who denied the Divinity of the Holy Spirit. At this Council, the Creed was adjusted and supplemented, including a member containing the Orthodox teaching about the Holy Spirit. The Fathers of the Council compiled 7 canonical rules, one of which prohibits making any changes to the Creed.

3rd Ecumenical Council

took place in Ephesus in 431, during the reign of Emperor Theodosius the Small.

It was dedicated to exposing the heresy of the Patriarch of Constantinople Nestorius, who falsely taught about Christ as a man united with the Son of God by a grace-filled bond. In fact, he argued that in Christ there are two Persons. In addition, he called the Mother of God the Mother of God, denying Her Motherhood. The Council confirmed that Christ is the True Son of God, and Mary is the Mother of God, and adopted 8 canonical rules.

4th Ecumenical Council

took place under Emperor Marcian, in Chalcedon, in 451.

The Fathers then gathered against the heretics: the primate of the Alexandrian Church, Dioscorus, and Archimandrite Eutyches, who argued that as a result of the incarnation of the Son, two natures, Divine and human, merged into one in His Hypostasis. The Council made a determination that Christ is the Perfect God and at the same time the Perfect Man, One Person, containing two natures, united inseparably, immutably, inseparably and inseparably. In addition, 30 canonical rules were formulated.

5th Ecumenical Council

took place in Constantinople in 553, under Emperor Justinian I. It confirmed the teachings of the Fourth Ecumenical Council, condemned Origenism and some of the writings of Theodoret of Cyrus and Willow of Edessa. At the same time, Theodore of Mopsuestia, the teacher of Nestorius, was convicted.

6th Ecumenical Council

was in the city of Constantinople in 680, during the reign of Emperor Constantine Pogonatus. His task was to refute the heresy of the Monothelites, who insisted that in Christ there are not two wills, but one. By that time, several Eastern Patriarchs and Pope Honorius had already propagated this heresy. The Council confirmed the ancient teaching of the Church that Christ has two wills in Himself - as God and as Man. At the same time, His will, according to human nature, agrees in everything with the Divine.

The Fifth-Sixth Ecumenical or Trullian Council is called the Council, which took place in Constantinople 11 years later. He adopted 102 canonical rules.

7th Ecumenical Council

took place in Nicaea in 787, under the Empress Irene. It refuted the iconoclastic heresy and established the dogma of icon veneration. The Council Fathers compiled 22 canonical rules.
