Elder Anthony, hiding his identity from everyone on the planet, said that he would cause the death of mankind!
Not all of the believers are ready to follow the instructions of their Church without fail. Thus, among the Orthodox, the worship of the elder Antony is widespread, which official representatives of the Christian clergy do not want to hear. While they call Anthony "a poison for the ears of believers," people are showing more and more interest in a mysterious man who gained fame thanks to his surprisingly detailed prophecies about the future.
Religion and Anthony
The life of a man who is considered a "living attempt to split the church" is known to be negligible, despite the fact that he did not live in ancient times: Anthony managed to get a pre-revolutionary theological education in the first half of the last century. And he began to study in tsarist times in one of the seminaries, was fond of Greek, reading Old Slavic literature. He lived more than a hundred years, while never complaining about his health.
Unknown elder
"He was very tall, something probably under a meter ninety. He had unusually correct Slavic features. A huge beard and long, slightly curly hair, were white. His whole appearance, the face of an ascetic, a monk of the early Christian times, amazed with greatness and spirituality, prayerfulness. And only the eyes were different - they radiated some extraordinary freshness and kindness. "
Bird and stone
The true name and place of residence of the Elder are hiding till now - eyewitnesses of miracles Antonia say that time has not yet come to reveal the truth. All that is known about him, can be found on the pages of two books. The first of them - "Spiritual conversations and instructions of the elder Antony" in 3 parts. The second is a book about Shambhala, written by Anastasia Novykh under the title "Bird and Stone". Among her parables you can find a description of the appearance and actions of the elder, surprisingly similar to the life of Antony. But who can explain how Anastasia could know the details of his existence, even if she had never heard of the mysterious elder?
Although there are doubts about its existence, many nuns and priests were familiar with the elder, who never fell into disgrace from the Church, but were quite respected. They came to talk with Antony, during which he told with astounding accuracy about the past historical events and prophesied about the future of mankind. From these reflections, the book "Spiritual Conversations and Instructions of the Elder Antony" was created. What secrets of mankind was revealed in it?
Disasters
"The system of existence created by man, in fact, satanic, because it absolutely contradicts the laws of God, will begin to break down. Drop planes, sink ships, explode nuclear power plants, chemical plants. "
The Starets repeatedly mentioned oil spills on the sea surface, ecological and technogenic catastrophes. Can I disagree with him if today, almost every week in the news, talk about falling aircraft and helicopters, sunken ships. In their versions, journalists and public services usually blame people. In which, for such purposes, as Antony believed, demons are moving in.
Sodom and Gomorrah
"And all this will be against the backdrop of the terrible natural phenomena that will occur throughout the earth, but, especially strongly - in America. These are hurricanes of unprecedented power, earthquakes, severe drought. And, conversely, flood-like showers. The terrible monster, modern Sodom - New York will be erased from the face of the earth. Gomorrah-Los Angeles will not remain without retribution. "
New York residents call it "old city", because houses in the central neighborhoods gradually settle down and plunge into the ground. Los Angeles is considered the world capital of sin due to high rates of crime, drug addiction and prostitution. One of its areas - Hollywood - creates powerful propaganda films, with the help of which the United States tries to influence the consciousness of young generations of the inhabitants of hostile countries. It turns out that the saying "City of Angels" by modern Gomorrah is not an accident.
The fall of ideals
"How many times did Satan try to make a moral decay universal, all-encompassing, but he always stumbled upon a formidable rebuke of the Church. The world was covered with the darkness of the contentment of a dozen developed countries, which the enemy chose as a support in the befuddling of the whole world. The main shock weapon in this matter is the slogan of freedom! How much blood is shed in all revolutions and coups, social and pseudo-religious speeches, political and mystical quarrels on the altar of the demon of "freedom"! It is he who has risen and cast down, a creature trying to take the place of the Creator for himself, he is the main freedom-lover. And his freedom, this is not God-given ability to be perfect in every kind of virtue. No, his freedom is a grave bond, the purpose of which is to deprive a person of the opportunity to choose between good and evil, leaving behind him only a procession into hell. Such freedom will be achieved. And it would be nice for the Protestants, they, in their time, also fought for freedom and against the dictates of Catholics, and when they came to power, the same Baptists organized such terror and bacchanalia that Europe shuddered too! But ours, where to ?! "
It's hard not to agree with Elder Antony: the richer the country, the more prosperity in it flourishes and the refusal to follow the foundations of the Church. Freedom in love, choice and frequency of changing sexual partners, joining sects and addiction to bad habits is what distracts a person from serving God. With such temptations, the Devil wants to win over him in the battle for the human spirit, which has been going on for millennia, and at the same time to drag the earth with him to hell.
Debauchery
"The first freedom that a demon needs, without which all others will crumble - this is freedom of religion, so-called religious tolerance. The essence of this movement is to open a wide road, first of all, for young people, leading to Satan. Notice, Father, a one-way road. The second freedom, which is also cultivated in every way, is the freedom of moral depravity. Corruption will begin from a very early age in the form of education of the culture of the sexes and their relationships. Children will be, and here and there already it is done, to show naked bodies, copulation, kindling lust, giving out all this for a normal state. Books and TV will be full of naked people, terrible scenes of fornication. Expression even in today's clothes is just the beginning. "
No matter how awful for us it does not sound, Antony is sure that Satan will manage to carry out the plans. In conversation with the monks the elder mentioned:
"And he who remains alive will envy the dead instantly, for his fate is even worse: death from hunger and suffocation. Cities will be a horrifying sight. Even those who escape complete destruction, deprived of water and electricity, heat and food, they will resemble huge stone coffins, so many people will die. Gangs of bandits will endlessly commit their atrocities, even in the daytime it will be dangerous to move around in the city, at night people will gather in large groups to together try to live up to the morning. The sunrise, alas, will usher in not the joy of a new day, but the grief of having to live this day. "
Unfortunately, none of his supporters succeeded in obtaining from him the secret of the salvation of mankind. If, of course, it is still possible and the countdown has not started ...
