A SHOCKING VISION BY ST. PAISIOS OF THE

UNFOLDING WORLD EVENTS

A prophecy of the Third Word War and Constantinople being freed

From the Ottoman Turks

SAINT PAISIOS

Dear People,

            The following compilations of prophecies by the Saints of the Orthodox Church give us a vision of our world in turmoil.  It is no stretch of the imagination that all that is going to happen to us in the future is a result of our rebellion against the Commandments of God.  There is no question that everything that we see in the universe was created by a loving God.   He created us to live for eternity in Paradise.  He created us to share in the joy of His existence.  We have been led astray by the powers of darkness and we have not learned to be god-like, that is to love one another without any reservations.  This is Christ-like love. God’s eternal plan is constantly being attacked by demonic entities that have fallen from the glory with which God has created them.  We are admonished by Saint Paul in his letter to the Ephesians: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.  Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil; for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  (Ephesians 6:11-12)   

            The authors of these prophesies are St. Andrew, a Fool for Christ, 956 in Constantinople; Saint Seraphim of Sarov, 1833, Saint Paisios, 1994 and the Elder Joseph, 2009.   All of them come to the same conclusion about the end of time, although each one expresses it in a different way.  What is amazing about these prophecies is the profound accuracy of their revelations.  Much of what they said in the past is being fulfilled in the days we are living. Saint Paisios who lived in the twentieth century says something very important to the Orthodox Christians of Greece to whom he is telling what the future holds in store for them.  He says to them: “You have been blessed to have heard about what will happen to Greece in the future, so prepare yourselves spiritually.”  We Christians in America are alerted to the destructive powers that are tearing our world apart.  In most cases, we do not have any control over what is to happen to humanity.  But we do have the power to prepare ourselves for every eventuality through the saving message of Jesus Christ.  We must take seriously the words of St. Paul who admonishes us: “to put on the whole armor of God and stand against the wiles of the devil.”

            “Whatever the Saints of the Church have written in the past about future events have become reality with great accuracy.  The Elder told me that when he was a young man he had read the prophecies of Saint Kosmas of Aetolia.  These prophecies disturbed him very much.  After reading these prophesies, he prayed that the Lord would reveal to him when these things would come about.  He thought that these prophecies were hard to believe until he visited Mt. Athos one day and heard the words of an Elder talk about them.  He realized that after hearing the Elder he realized that his initial impressions of the prophecies were very wrong.  The Elder told him that only the Lord will determine when someone is worthy of being filled with His mercy to allow him to see things that will happen in the future.  And sure enough, when Saint Paisios was praying one night, he began to see things unfolding before him.  He said it was like he was watching a movie.  It was at the time when two young Cypriots, Solomon and Isaac, were tragically shot to death by the occupying Turkish soldiers of Cyprus.

            A brother monk had written about a certain George who was telling people that there will be seven wars.  He said that each succeeding war would be worse than the previous one.  These wars will be responsible for pulling other countries into the conflict and the war will spread over a wider geographical area.  In between these wars a time of peace will prevail.  The people who had been afflicted by these wars will pray for peace and their prayers to the Lord will go unheeded.  People living in countries that have not suffered the ravages of war will not learn anything about the wars around them.  In fact they will seek to make war on others in order to seek revenge for injustices perpetrated against them.  The war will become a worldwide conflagration.  Famines, destruction, revolutions, plunder, and plagues will prevail everywhere.   

            The first war of these wars was the war that happened in Georgia with the Russians.  Russia will be provoked a second time by the Georgians and in response Russia will destroy Georgia completely.  Unfortunately the unarmed population of Georgia will suffer terribly in this war.  While the Russians are fighting the Georgians, the Americans will provoke the Ukrainians to attack the Russians.  Turkey at this time will allow American aircraft and ships to enter their airspace and the Black Sea in order to attack Russia.  By allowing this to happen the Turks will reveal that they are no friends of the Russians.  The Russians will then overwhelm the Ukrainians.  And in fact, very few Ukrainians will fight against the Russians and the Russian troops will be enthusiastically welcomed by the Ukrainian population.  Air battles between American and Russian warplanes will take place in Ukrainian airspace for the first time and the Russians will decisively defeat the Americans. 

            Turkey will become a dictatorship and declare martial law because the Kurds will rise up against Turkish authority.  A world financial calamity will follow. The economies of many countries, one after the other will falter.  There will be no money to pay bills and there will be popular uprisings everywhere.  The Black Sea will become a Russian lake and Turkey will be defeated.  Turkey will be the first nation to suffer defeat at the hands of the super weapons of Russia.  The Russians will attempt to finish off the Turks in a hurry before the NATO forces get involved in the conflict.  

            But before the war with Turkey, Russia will have previously attacked Georgia, the Ukraine, Armenia, and Azerbaijan while repulsing the American forces.  In the north, Russia will take over the Scandinavian countries; Finland, Sweden, and Norway because of their attacks against the Russian population causing many casualties. These nations initially declared themselves neutral.  The destruction that these countries will suffer will startle the world.  Russia then will attack Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Rumania, and Moldavia.  The Orthodox countries of the Balkans will rise up and throw off their oppressive governments and will ally themselves with the Russians.  This will include the Serbs and the Rumanians but not the Bulgarians. 

            The Russians then will move south in order to help their Arabic allies and especially the Iranians who will be attacked by the Americans.  At this point the USA and Israel will attempt to attack Russia with nuclear missiles.  These missiles will be neutralized by Russian technology and then all electronic communications in the world will cease to function.  Russia will then proceed on to Egypt in order to take over the Suez Canal.  While the Russians are moving to the Middle East their forces will go through Greece.  This will happen quickly and the Russian forces will not do any damage to Greece.  The Russians will have the ability to move large military forces and equipment over long distances very quickly.  This ability will be facilitated by unknown aircraft that look like flying saucers.  The Russians will then turn back to the Balkans to help the Serbs who are being attacked by NATO, Catholic, and Muslim countries of the Balkans.  The Russians will be victorious in this effort.

           

            That which will hinder the Russians and lead to the reversal of their successes will be the treachery of the Chinese.  While at the beginning of the war the Chinese will be their allies, they will suddenly allow the enemies of Russia to occupy Siberia.  The Chinese will retreat from defending the Russians in Siberia and allow the forces of Japan and Korea to attack Russia from the East.  The Chinese army that was defending the flanks of Russia will now be sent against the Greek army which will be led by the Godly King John.  He will be in the Battle of Armageddon.  But at this point the Chinese army will be defeated by Heavenly Hosts of Angels sent by God.  The Greek armies along with their allies of Orthodox countries will number one hundred to one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers.  It would be impossible for this army to fight against the Chinese army of two hundred million soldiers unless the Lord Almighty does not intervene personally to defeat the Chinese. 

            The heavenly host will bring fire from Heaven that will literally melt the Chinese army. This is exactly the way the Elder described this scene.  After attacking the Chinese, the angelic hosts will attack all the Muslims forces, first in Asia and then in the Middle East and North Africa. 

            The Elder is a simple man who feels that he bears all the sins of the world upon his shoulders. (I believe this is in reference to George who is mentioned at the beginning of the prophecy.  Apparently he is now a monk.)  It would be a sign of great disrespect to compare him with Paisios or with other Elders who manifested openly the presence of Divine Grace in their lives.  The detailed military analysis that I have described is attributed to the fact that this monk served as an infantry soldier in the Korean War.  It was because of this military experience that he looks upon these future events with the eye of a military man.      

            The Russians will now turn to Eastern Thrace and the nearby areas of Asia. The Western armies will arrive in Albania by way of the Ignatius Road which has been greatly destroyed by the war. These armies will move eastward.  But because they are having such a difficult time navigating the bombed out highway in addition to fighting off the attacks of the Russians, they will make an unfortunate decision as far as Greece is concerned.  They will decide to have the greater part of their forces navigate the Ignatius Road in Greece.  They will do this because Greece has remained neutral and has not suffered the ravages of war.  Its roads have not suffered any destruction from the war and it is an ally of Russia.   That is the way it will happen.  The allied forces of NATO despise the Greeks for not fighting the Russians and not suffering the destruction and the losses which they and their countries have suffered.  It is unfortunate what the Greeks will now suffer at the hands of the allied forces as they move through Greece.  The Greeks anticipate the same destruction that their ancestors suffered at the hands of the Fourth Crusader in Constantinople in 1204.  Houses will be destroyed, women will be raped, men will be killed, the Churches will be burnt down, and Orthodox priests will be mocked.  This will be repeated over and over again as the military forces move through the country. 

            The only salvation for the Greeks at this point is to flee to the mountains and into the forests.  It will be unfortunate for the elderly, the pregnant women, the little children, and the infirm.  But the price that these new Crusaders will pay for these attacks will be heavy later on before the walls of Constantinople. 

            These conflicts will be followed by a worldwide financial crisis that will collapse the world financial system.  The NATO forces will have a hard time moving through Greece.  The Elder told me that there will be three million soldiers.  One group of soldiers will be sent through the province of Thessaly.   A terrible catastrophe will be visited upon the residents of those areas where the soldiers will travel through.  The villages in the plains of Thessaly will be destroyed because there is no place for the people to hide.  Those who will survive will live in the villages in the foothills of Mt. Olympus and Mt. Kisavos.   The military forces from Thessaly and from the Ignatius Road will join forces outside of Thessaloniki. The city will be waiting for the invasion of these forces.  The few people that are still remaining in the city expect to suffer many atrocities.

            During the encounter between the Greeks and the Turks not one Greek soldier will lose his life but many will be wounded.  The soldiers will have their fingers on the trigger ready for battle.  There will be shooting and shelling but mainly this will take place on the islands.   These incidences will be quite spontaneous but Divine Grace will protect Greece.  Following these episodes, an enlightened military leadership of Greece is already preparing defensive plans for the country in anticipation of the events that it will encounter.  The Turks have planned to occupy many of our islands.  While they are invading the islands, the Turks will also incite the Muslim residents of Greece to rise up against the Greeks.  They will arm these people who live in various parts of Greece.   These people will be ordered to blow up bridges and plant bombs on the roads of Greece.  The security forces of Greece are aware of all these plans.  The most vulnerable infrastructures of Greece will be the reservoirs of the country.

            From the plans that the Turks have prepared to occupy the islands, these incursions will bring about great tragedy.  The Turks will attempt to bring about the annihilation of the province of Epirus, Greece.  Their soldiers will arrive in landing craft and will disembark all along the coast of Greece from Kavala, Northeastern Greece all the way down to Athens.  The Turks believe that the Greeks have all of their military strength deployed on the islands.  They believe that the Greeks have left the mainland unguarded.   The Turks will think they will have it easy with the Greeks until they reach six nautical miles from the coast of Greece.  At that point they will encounter disaster. 

            When the Turks realize that they cannot occupy the islands of the Aegean, they will then turn their attention to Cyprus.  Violent battles will take place on Cyprus with great loss of life amongst the soldiers and the unarmed civilians.  Fortunately, the fast moving Russian army will be coming down to the Mediterranean from the north. This move of the Russians will force the Turks to remove their soldiers from Cyprus in order to protect Turkey itself.  At this point, the Greek/Cypriot soldiers will then reoccupy the northern part of Cyprus.  Unfortunately, ethnic cleansing will take place during this operation.

            Someone asked the Elder, what will happen to America?  He responded that America will suffer complete devastation.  From amongst the 300 million people that live there 90% of them will lose their lives.  When I asked the Elder: “How does God allow a country like Russia to attack at will wherever it desires?” He responded by saying that of all the wars the Russians have been involved in, they first were attacked and then they responded.  This is what happened with the Turks so that they will not have any excuses at the Second Coming of Jesus when they will ask Him: “What evil did we do that you would use the Russians as your tool to destroy us?”  And the Lord will answer them: “You, without any reason or provocation attacked the Greeks.  You did this and this is your punishment.”

            In the face of all these things do not be afraid or be discouraged, the Elder said.  Our Lord with His Holy Mother and all the Saints will be holding hands and they will encircle Greece with their protective embrace.  Every enemy action against Greece will fail.   All those who have a spiritual father should receive counsel only from him.  He, on the other hand, who does not have a spiritual father but believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, will get pastoral advice from the Bishops of the Church.  The Bishops of Greece will have extensive meetings and will issue soul-saving messages for the faithful.  

            Once the first wave of afflictions is over let each person gather together the essentials for their lives.  You have been blessed with this information of the afflictions that will be coming to Greece.   You have been told about the resurrection of our nation and you have a patriotic duty to help every Christian who comes to your door seeking help.   You should be willing to give them from the limited resources of your home.  Cursed is the person who is not willing to help his fellow Christian.   There will be people who only think about the welfare of themselves and their children and will abandon the needs of other children.  The hand that comes knocking at your door is not only the hand of a hungry man but it is that of an Angel who will be testing you as he has been directed by our Lord.  May those of you who open your door to those in need be blessed.  You will be blessed in such a way that the little that you have to eat will never run out.  The Angels will reveal to you where you can find food.  You must always have with you some Blessed Holy Water.  I say this because a drop of this water alone with will turn rancid water into pure drinking water.
