Settled in the
Caucasus Mountain Range, the country of Georgia has been Orthodox Christian
since the fourth century. It is a nation of strong, robust people; and the fall
of communism brought resurge in faith, led by their saintly patriarch, Ilia II.
The fall of communism also, however, brought new interest in finding a more
European way of life among the Georgian people. Many have looked towards
integration into the European Union. This has brought in new trends, and
pressure to pass new laws that greatly conflict with their ancient traditions
springing from Orthodox Christianity.
In February,
2016, the Georgian website Zneoba published a letter from Archimandrite Lazar
(Abashidze) with a warning to this ancient nation inhabiting one of the
“earthly portions” of the Mother of God. It is a warning to all Christians
around the world as well.
In our Church,
the faithful and even some of the clergy preach the approach of a religious
“illumination” or rebirth. They say that a bright time is coming for Christians,
that in the last, apocalyptic times, the antichrist will reign all over the
world, but he will never come into Georgia, etc.
However
enraptured they maybe with these pleasant and sweet dreams, preoccupied with
outwardly ordering churches and places of inspiration (in expectation of that
wonderful era), a large number of clergy and laity do not even notice (or
perhaps do not want to notice), how the spirit of antichrist is coming into
Georgia, and sinking deeper roots into people's souls, beginning his reign in
all strata of life.
For example,
“sex education” programs are being introduced in the schools, while courses on
national history are being canceled—huge sums of money are flowing into
Georgia, from satan’s very bosom in Europe, in order to introduce these
programs!
What does this
mean? Anyone who carefully studies this project called “sex education”, or
looks at the new textbooks, will clearly see their creator’s desire—that a
child from his earliest years would begin to learn all sorts of sexually
depravity. Their goal is to turn the search for lustful pleasure into the main
aim of life.
A terrible,
cruel persecution against human conscience, moral values, and spirituality is
beginning.
But why do
world politicians need this? Why are they sparing no expense, spending huge
sums of money in order to buy away the conscience of both parents and children?
Because now,
throughout the world, there is active work going on to pave the way for
antichrist, and at the head of all of these programs are the dark powers
themselves.
They consider
it of greatest importance to prepare some sort of general world order; that is,
to prepare people to have all the same interests, all the same desires, all the
same urges—because only then will it be possible to introduce a world leader
and have control over of all humanity. Only then will the devil be able to
bring to pass his ancient dream: that all of mankind worship him as the lord
god.
In order to do
this they must erase everything from people—individuality, lofty thinking, and
a common life of ideas and spirituality.
An immoral
person who does not know his own fatherland, who does not know the experience
and spiritual riches of his ancestors, who seeks no more then passing
pleasures, who lives only for the present day—this is the best possible
material for creating someone who can be passively subjected to the common
opinion for the new world order.
A person who
can be rigorously controlled, who has no ideas, no soul. He will be ready to
shed all of these things for the sake of freedom from everything: from his
conscience, from shame, from moral strictures. He will be ready to pay for
freedom, to sin for the sake of rights, to please the flesh with the benefits
of this “earthly paradise” and revel in technological material comforts without
feeling any pangs of conscience.
Along with all
of this it is assumed that this person must remain religious—the antichrist
wishes that people would bow down, and not just as to a talented man but as to
the divinity.
Standing behind
him are the spirits of darkness, who burn with thirst for divine worship.
But this
religiosity has to be secular (free from any influence by the Church), not
knowing any Truth–only a mystical surrogate vaguely resembling the truth.
Thus, in order
to create this new society, three factors are needed: ecumenical religiosity
(religion without grace), immorality (a person who has lost his conscience),
and a break with the connection between him and his former moral and spiritual
culture (a society without history).
The third factor
is needed because national feeling, often received from one’s forebears,
enriches a person with true wisdom, teaches him to return to his fathers and to
follow those spiritually lofty, moral values that they always valued. But this
firm foundation—the basis of wisdom and morality—must be destroyed.
Thus a person
begins to resemble a leaf torn from its own roots, circling in the turbulent,
muddy waters along with thousands of others like him down into the dark abyss.
If this program
is accepted in our schools, then the Georgian will be burned at the root with
the fires of hell!
In a few
decades, Georgia will step on the path Sodom and Gomorrah, and will doubtlessly
eventually share their fate. It is no accident that they are trying to feed the
little ones with this simple poison, in order to poison their souls. They are
placing serious bets on the new generation.
Now it all
depends on us; and what is most terrifying is that people are silent. The
priests and the clergy are silent, and only rarely do you hear a voice of
warning. If they do not shout about the approaching danger, if they do not
protest, if they do not arouse Christians for the fight with this evil, if they
do not through strict laws bring to their senses those people who have apostatized
from Christ—then the door will be thrown wide open and the carpet rolled out
for antichrist to enter Georgia.
Fear of God is
the beginning of wisdom (Ps. 110). And liberation from fear is the beginning of
mass insanity!
