St. Paisius the Holy Mountain, whose prophecies are read today, is practically our contemporary. He lived in the 20th century, in the world he was a carpenter, he fought, then he became a hermit in a monastery on Holy Mount Athos. Over the years, the elder gained fame as a great ascetic and seer.
He always complained that he wanted to be alone, but people came to him every day and distracted him from prayer. But the invaluable everyday and spiritual advice that he gave irresistibly attracted streams of people to him, and the elder could not offend his visitors with a refusal. The holy father ended his earthly existence in 1994.
For his ascetic and ascetic deeds, he was canonized as a saint, so people who sought the help of the elder during his life now receive it through prayers to his image. Father Paisius also became famous for his prophecies. His statements about the future of the world are simple and understandable, which is why more and more people are turning to them lately.
Prophecies about Ukraine by St. Paisius Svyatogorets
The Holy Father always said that the three Slavic Orthodox peoples should always be inseparable and stick together. In the modern world community, evil rules, so we can only stand against it and protect the rest of the Orthodox world by uniting. Not only Father Paisiy, but almost all the Athonite elders are warning Ukraine about the danger of communicating with the deceitful and depraved European Union.

Teenage years and the army
Shortly before being drafted into the army, Saint Paisius the Svyatogorets worked as a carpenter. When he received an order to make a coffin, the young man, sharing the family’s sadness and understanding the poverty of that time, did not ask for money.
In 1945, Arseny was drafted into the army and served as a messenger. Saint Paisius often asked to be sent to the front line instead of some colleague if he learned that he had a family and children.
The memories of Elder Paisius’s colleagues have been preserved, in which they recall the miracles that the saint already showed at the front, saving his comrades, but he himself experienced miraculous rescues from bullets and enemy bombs.
Predictions of Elder Paisius Svyatogorets about the future of Russia
Monks on Mount Athos constantly pray for Russia. Saint Paisius said that Russia will have to go through difficult times, it will be like a ship thrown ashore. The Jews will come to power and try to destroy both Orthodoxy and Russia as a whole.
But the time will come when she will be reborn in glory. The Christian faith, spirituality and pride in their homeland will return to the Russian people. In difficult recent times, when the Russian people are experiencing an internal crisis, our country is destined for the return of the monarchy.
Just before the end of the world, Russia will be led by the Orthodox Tsar, popularly elected and given by God to the Russian people, a highly worthy man, possessor of an iron will, great mind and fiery faith. He will not reign for long, because he will be killed, but during his reign he will have time to clear the secular and spiritual power of the unworthy, and will return Russia the glory and respect of the whole world.
Elderly diseases
In 1966, the Monk Paisios Svyatogorets was hospitalized in the Papanicolaou hospital due to bronchial problems. After surgery and the use of strong antibiotics, the old man suffered from pseudomembranous colitis, which left permanent problems. At some point, while he was working in his cell, the elder had an attack. He refused hospitalization and suffered from an illness that caused him terrible pain for four or five years. On one of his visits to the monastery in Suroti, doctors he knew literally kidnapped him and brought him to the hospital, where they operated on him. Despite the doctors' ban, Saint Paisius continued his hard ascetic life and work, which significantly worsened his health.
Prophecies of Paisius the Holy Mountain about the third world war
The Third World War will definitely happen, it will be very bloody and will begin in the Middle East, in the zone of current military conflicts.
The Russians will also participate in the battle - against the Turkish army and the united European coalition. There will be military action in Palestine.
When the Euphrates becomes shallow, then the Chinese with an army of 200 million will be able to invade the conflict zone and occupy Jerusalem. There will be many victims, and most of the Jews will convert to Christianity. During military operations, the Omar Mosque will be destroyed.
About the proud

To get rid of pride, you need to be able to cut off your will. Spiritual mentors will help with this. People who are enthusiastic about themselves must be in obedience to someone. This will help them eliminate the deficiency.
If a person is depressed, he should be supported. And if he fell into pride, he needs to humble himself.
In order for the soul to resurrect, you need to be crucified, destroy your passions. This is the only way the proud man’s face will remain unbroken.
If a person continues to be proud, it means he has a high idea of himself. You need to free yourself from it. We are God's creation and nothing more.
Other predictions of the Athonite elder Paisius the Holy Mountain
Elder Paisios predicted that, as a result of a deep crisis, the Vatican and Catholicism would lose their influence. The destruction of the Mosque of Omar, which now stands on the site of the ancient Temple of Solomon, will be the impetus for its restoration, and a sign of the onset of the end times.
As a result of the world war, hundreds of millions of people will die, therefore, in order to avoid further bloodshed, it will be proposed to elect a single world leader. He will choose the Antichrist, whom Israel is waiting for as the messiah, and to meet whom it is in a hurry to restore the temple of Solomon.
The false messiah will forcibly introduce an economic system, which was mentioned in the Revelation of John the Theologian, when all humanity will receive a mark on their forehead or hand containing the number of the beast - 666, and without it it will be impossible to buy or sell.
About the needy and the hungry
The elder had his own opinion about the hungry and suffering. Paisius claimed that they would receive the highest reward from the Lord.
This is what the miracle worker said:
The poor can be compared to the desert people, but they will receive a higher reward. Hermits and monks do not fast out of force, but out of their own free will. These same poor people experience deprivation not of their own free will, which means they suffer more. God will reward them many times more than Christian ascetics.
Paisiy Svyatogorets about the war with Turkey
The Turks do not like to turn to the prophecies of Elder Paisius, and all because he clearly predicted the disappearance of Turkey from the world map. The Turks also have their own prophecies on this matter, which coincide with the prediction of the Holy Father. Plotting to conquer Greece, she herself will be defeated by her northern neighbor.
Russia will stand up for its Orthodox ally and defeat Turkey completely and irrevocably. In order to prevent the reunification of the two Orthodox peoples, united NATO troops will act on Turkey’s side.
The massacre on the territory of the former Byzantine Empire will be so bloody that Istanbul will drown in blood. There will be so much blood that a three-year-old bull can swim in it, says the elder. At first everyone will think that the superiority of forces is on the side of the Turks, and then Russia will win.
Turkey will break up into three parts, one will be given to the Kurds, the other will become Orthodox, the third will go south. A third of the state's population will die. Istanbul will again become Constantinople, and the Orthodox service will again sound in the main temple of this ancient capital of the great state of Byzantium, the Church of Sophia.
The city itself will become Greek, without firing a single shot from their side. The circumstances will be such that this will be the only compromise solution that will suit all parties to the conflict.
PROPHECIES AND INSTRUCTIONS OF THE GREEK ELDER ELPIDIUS. (Republication, 2021)
Fear the Lord, all your saints, for there is no hardship for those who fear Him. With riches you become poor and hungry: but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good.
Adam and Eve lived in Paradise and talked with God, but Satan changed God's commandment and inspired Adam that it was better for him to know the forbidden.
We happen to live in a difficult era, in an era of retreat, in a temporary period of the words of Revelation coming true. We live during the Apocalypse.
And this is our time, marked in history by an event that has so excited many. One signature, the signature of the President of the United States, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Just like that, with the stroke of a pen, we found ourselves at the center of eschatological events. Events when nature, created by God, will apparently resist what was planned by dark forces.
The devil took revenge. He received permission to put his plans into action. What's going on around you? Do you see that the whole world is seething and in confusion? Look at our once beautiful Motherland, look what happened to it, it’s like a suffering person, it’s sick... it’s losing its beauty. They lose their beauty under the yoke of those laws that are introduced by those who control it from the outside.
Do you remember what I told you several years ago and a year ago? Sorrow awaits us. Our life will have five distinctive troubles: natural disasters, loss of housing and property, poverty, hunger, disease. Water will disappear in places. How can a person live without water? It’s good if you can buy water, but what if there are interruptions in the water supply? Due to lack of fuel? And gasoline and fuel oil will become more expensive. Electricity is also generated using fuel oil and diesel fuel. We simply will not have the means to pay for all our needs. And practically everyone does.
The past year has been a year of difficult decisions, a year of hardships. It marked the end of the first seven years allotted to us by the Lord for repentance.
Our jobs were taken away from us, our investments were taken away from us, our homes were taken away from us, our right to life was taken away from us, our Faith was taken away from us. We lost all this only through our stupidity and sins. Having fallen away from the Lord. We are entering the next seven years. And if there is no repentance, if the people do not live with God, then even more cruel and dark years await us, two seven years that will be like a hurricane
.
Thousands of people are losing their homes every day, and in a very crafty way, the world rulers, having convinced the majority that Greece is bankrupt and we need tough economic measures, are uprooting the established way of life from our lives. There are so many people who live without light and periodically without water and food.
This last year of the first seven years brought us clearly to the realization that at any moment a nuclear war could happen on our planet. The rulers of the superpowers no longer hide this; they speak about it openly. They are preparing us for such a development of events.
Today, many European countries, or rather their rulers, declare that they are secular states, without emphasis on religion. Lies and mistakes. This is what the rulers say, but the majority of the people express their attitude towards Christianity. I'll amend this thread for clarity. These are Christian countries, but they are in captivity, under the occupation of Satan, Lucifer. Satan's rulers are in charge of these countries.
They strive with all their might to unite everyone into one religion. All heresy scattered its tentacles throughout Europe. Only our Church stands against them.
Look at how morality is being replaced, how concepts are being replaced. Seeing a modern woman, can she be called pious? Piety is not in fashion today. The woman was stripped, approving and supporting her in this nakedness. There is nothing pious left in the modern woman. But a woman is the keeper of the family hearth. What kind of hearth will a modern half-naked woman keep?
Today, the laws of the EU and other countries have made sin legal. Do you often hear from all kinds of politicians and public figures outraged by these laws? Today sodomy has become the norm. Today, killing children has become the norm. Today debauchery is encouraged.
The Lord gave us other Laws. And imagine a pious mother seeing her children who have indulged in all the sins of Sodom... This is how the Lord now looks at a person. I have already said that the Lord’s feelings towards us can only be described in human language as maternal. That's why I make this comparison. The Lord sees abomination everywhere, because we also see it.
We, the parents of our children, see the sin of our children. But we only gave them the body. And the Lord gave us all a soul. So who is the Lord to us? This is who our real Father is! Our soul is higher than our body. And if we, with our earthly feelings, understand our guilt for wrongdoing before our parents, then why don’t we understand this guilt before God?
Is our conscience clear for raising our children? Are we raising our children following the example of the parents who raised St. Panteleimon, St. Basil the Great, and St. George? Are we following the example of St. Sophia? Or did they leave our children in front of televisions so that they could absorb all the abomination of the spirit of modern times?
But it is also important that when our children make mistakes, we forgive them, so we must remember that we also need to ask the Lord for forgiveness for our sins. Today we heard a psalm in which the words sound - the Wrath of God is coming upon them. Do you know what the Wrath of God means? This is when the entire creation of God, nature, will turn to fulfill the will of God. He will turn against a person, become indignant, and punish as God sees fit.
God never acts contrary to justice. God's wrath is always righteous and always directed for the good of the one upon whom it is poured out. God never goes out of balance; He is always equal to Himself, always the same. He knows about any human or demonic crime from eternity, just as it is also known exactly how He will react to every sinful act, every sinful thought.
Nature is subordinate to God. And He will direct it against His Creation, the one to whom He gave freedom of choice. If we, as a father or mother, hear from our child that he does not want to have us as parents, how will we react? What feelings will we experience?
What feelings does God have towards the Creation that rebelled against Him? Man rebelled against God. And he receives the Wrath of the Lord.
From the very first day of the coming year, you will see things that will frighten even the brave and strong-willed. Nature will rebel against man and the works of his hands.
Again you will see floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and all this is very active, multiple. The Lord will allow all this to happen.
We already see that nature behaves unusually, we have already seen many environmental disasters, floods of unprecedented severity, droughts with high temperatures, crop failures, famine in some parts of the globe.
The number of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, droughts and fires will increase fivefold. Five times, remember. Everywhere.
One Sunday recently, the temple was half empty. Of course, people were collecting olives. Olives are our food.
Olives provide a lot of benefit and help to us. Oil and olives are what feed us and give us income, but imagine that during a drought, you will not have the usual amount of oil. And the Lord will allow this too. Will we be satisfied with oil or olives if we have no bread? The Lord will allow such a situation.
When I was still a teenager, my father grew wheat. Wherever you looked, wheat was heading. I remember walking into the barn and it was full of grain.
Now there is no such thing here... Now we buy grain. Where do we buy it from? Mostly from Ukraine. But at this time there is a war in Ukraine! A civil war in which the advanced public blames Russia. And, God forbid, now it will reach the hot phase there again. They will start a war, and we will not have bread.
Our country almost doesn’t sow, and almost doesn’t reap... In order for the store to have bread and flour, the government buys grain from outside.
Do you know when we will talk about bread? When ships with Ukrainian grain get stuck in the straits. And if they are delayed in arriving at their destination, there will be a lack of grain there, since there are no reserves either...
The Lord will allow all this, and each of us will experience all this in our lives, to a greater or lesser extent.
Think about it: if only the Lord slightly removes his hand above our heads, we can find ourselves in such a situation, and in the blink of an eye, that we will not have the most important thing on our table, bread. There will be butter, but there will be no bread!
The Lord will allow us one more test. Muslims. We already see a lot of them now, but there will be even more of them. Their imams will also come to them, and their mosques will appear like mushrooms after the rain. For our unbelief. Because we did not appreciate the fact that we lived in an Orthodox country, with an Orthodox way of life. The Lord will send Gentiles against us.
And then we will live under the knife of an infidel. And this is precisely why most of them come here. Some people really run away from war and poverty to rich Germany, and others for completely different reasons. Someone is participating in the war for Sharia, and so far they have shown themselves only in certain moments, but, for the most part, these are “sleeper cells” for now.
The Lord said that war is already on the threshold of my house. Perhaps He spoke about Rhodes, about our islands, to which more and more Muslims are arriving every day.
One war - to our right, a second war - to our left, will bring such sorrow and confusion that we will only have to groan. Muslims are now weapons in the hands of God against those who refused to be His children.
Weapons against those located in the other part of the Atlantic and central Europe.
All this will begin with the beginning of the new year. And may the Lord protect us all.
Think, my dears, what you will do, how you will use your free time.
Look around you, at the walls of the temple, at the icons surrounding us.
All these saints were born just like us. One difference we have with them is that they loved the Lord so much that they achieved holiness. They did not strive to become saints, they became saints driven by the Love of God.
Do we love the Lord as much as they do? Will we love? This is not visible yet... But we need to strive for it!
While we were babies, the Lord did not let us fall and hurt ourselves, he led us by the hand. But when we grow older, the Lord lets go of our hand and gives us the right to choose. Shall we stay with him? Shall we turn away from Him? This is where we need to make the right choice. God's love for us is unchanging, but our love for Him is tested.
There are only a few steps leading to God. Three of them are Simplicity, Humility, and Nostalgia for God. We must miss Him. We must feel His absence. Test yourself on this.
When God the Father sees how one of us loves His Only Begotten Son, he sends him the grace of the Holy Spirit. This grace envelops us, covers us, and then we are one with the Lord, then all our fears go away.
Strive to be like the saints. Saints are not born, saints are made. May the Love of the Lord be with you, as it was with thousands and thousands of our saints. I encourage you to go only this way. And so the cruelty of the outside world will not touch us, we will be hidden in God’s arms, He will press us to Himself and dispel all our fears.
For Him, each of us is His child, His child, His baby!
Remember this, and we will not be afraid of what we are about to experience as a human society. Sermon recorded July 2021
Father Elpidius had a revelation from a certain saint. There will be 3 great evils in the world now.
The first is because we have gone far from God into our egoism. The whole earth will rebel. There will be sudden earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of such force that they will bring great grief to all cities. Some cities will be completely destroyed.
I don’t know whether it will be in Greece or I just know that it will be. Elsewhere, sudden rains will bring great destruction. On the contrary, in other places the water will go away and there will be no water.
It is nature that will rise up against a lawless and proud person. Some weather anomalies will occur that will disturb the harmony in the plants and they will stop bearing fruit. I won't say much so as not to terrify you all. But we need to come to this understanding a little. Secondly, this is a big war that is already on our doorstep.
I was greatly impressed when she said “on your doorstep”...
Because here (in Greece) many liturgies are held, many prayers are held by the Most Holy Theotokos and our saints to keep the great evil of war from happening as it will around us, but still, the war will come close to us.
And thirdly, I won’t say any further because much more was revealed, and to be honest, I was horrified. That great event that has a connection with the 3rd World War, with the 3rd evil that will come, is the great persecution of Christians. The persecution will be of two types. From the outside and from the inside. From outside there will be Muslims and evil satanic rulers who will introduce laws that will destroy the family.
I recently, by chance, heard the following from a friend... I asked people who live abroad, love Orthodoxy and sometimes come to visit me and discuss some issues. They are Catholics, but they love the Orthodox Church, and they treat me personally with respect. I was very impressed by our conversation, which took place with the help of an interpreter in a way that I do not know German. I ask why these people don’t get married?
He answered me that if they get married, they will be subject to heavy taxes, so they prefer to cohabit. The thought came to me: “look how the devil cunningly approached this issue in order to destroy the family - he made such laws..” And this is also the Christian world. They have Christian democracy there. Well, now you understand me...
One war will be from Muslims and from satanic laws, which will allow all kinds of outrages. There will be an internal war. First, the devil will tell people that God is not around, that He is not the Father, and people will feel completely lost. This temptation will be very strong. Church local authorities will not help. They will not care about spiritual salvation. They will only care about coming to church, performing liturgy, etc.
But this is not the most important thing. After a while you will see how they will tell the people to follow one pseudo-religion. You will see it. It will be so terrible that you cannot even imagine. Let's see what terrifies me, what really puzzles me. Christ was betrayed by all rulers. And what are the Church rulers doing now? Because they are forced, they do not have the strength to become confessors, to become prophets, to become martyrs. And they will say: “Okay, we must find a solution, we must agree, etc.” Recently a Catholic woman came to me, whom I baptized in Orthodoxy, and who lives in Sweden. She tells me: We went to be baptized at our place and who was the rector - a woman! The bishop was a woman!
Bravo….
Is this really a church? Now what do we hear? These are all churches... Everyone believes in the same god. But what's the point then? Why did Christ come? Why did He say: “…I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6)?
This will be the greatest war, that because of obedience and submission to those above, the real Christian Spirit will be trampled under foot. And that's where the devil will dance.
Having already passed the first 7 year test this year, the next 7 years of pain and suffering now begin. In the middle of these seven years you will see “things and wonders.” There will be a renewal of the church because of great and powerful news. I won't list them. There will be such geopolitical upheavals...
The Lord will ensure that everything old and rotten will be thrown out. What is the reason for all this? Because the Lord will bring new people. who will love Him with their hearts, who will love Him and seek Him with greater diligence.
And then a new Christian kinotita (Community) will be created, it will contain peace and goodness for some time in poverty and pain, but it will be very great.
And now these children will be ready to meet the last phase of the coming false prophet and Antichrist. There will be changes in Catholicism, this pope will leave, another will come, the Vatican will be tested. There will be disasters in Italy and France. I'm not talking about America and Russia. New generation of Christians, we are not talking about priests and bishops now. If they (the clergy) want to be saved, then they must become more humble, love God and pray on their knees. The first Bishops prayed on their knees. Their knees were bruised from praying for their spiritual children.
And now, the present ones stand in their thrones, and if you suddenly tell some truth, that you love Christ, they will call you and punish you. There are such people. But there are also holy bishops. I've met people like that. There are also bishops who are people of the devil
assigned to say evil things.
Brothers and sisters, the days we live in are apocalyptic.
The week that is coming will be amazing, terrifying. I ask you to change things. You could say, I’ve now decided for myself, but what can I change? Of course you can. When we pray, we can change a lot.
Do you know what Isidore did in Greece, also Nektarios of Aegina, Constantine in Rhodes, John the Russian in Evia, Paisius the Holy Mountain and Porphyry the Holy Mountain and many other saints? They prayed and offered their prayers. We stood in pain with tears and prayed to give our Greece more repentance, to give us another chance.
Do you know how many times the Mother of God came to the saints and told them to pray so that such great evil would not happen in the world? With their prayers they were able to push back what was about to happen, but not the last thing that was coming now.
I ask you: open your ears. Pray to the Lord as a Father to cleanse your souls. So that He can be your Father and you can be His son or daughter. So that through our prayers the evil that is coming will decrease...
Translation from Greek by Victoria Minina
About prayer
Photo: Flickr.com
If, during prayer, a Christian does not feel the consolation coming from the Lord, then something is wrong. A believer needs to reconsider his life and repent of something.
You need to prepare for prayer. This is a Sacrament. If the feeling of relief does not come, correct yourself. It is necessary to pray with a clear conscience.
If there is no repentance and humility, force yourself. Only this feat will give the charm of God's Grace.
They do not seek pleasure in prayer. She bestows spiritual peace and harmony. If you are waiting for pleasure, then you are like children waiting for a treat.
What is prayer? This is an opportunity to ask the Lord for forgiveness. Who knows? Perhaps this is the last chance given during life. We must not forget about the prayer rule.
