  • This reading contains excerpts from St. Ignatius Brianchaninov's essay “On Miracles and Signs.” The reason for this recording is to raise the awareness and discernment of Orthodox Christians regarding the degree of deception manifested first in the spirit of Antichrist, which is increasingly obvious in the world, and secondly in the Antichrist himself, who will be the fulfillment of “the spiritual direction of man.”
    Quotes from this essay:
    “The antichrist will be a logical, equitable, natural result of the common moral and spiritual direction of man.”
    “The antichrist will show himself to be meek, merciful, filled with love, filled with all virtue. Those who will acclaim him as such, and will submit to him as the highest good, are they who accept the truth of fallen mankind and will not deny it for the truth of the Gospel.”
    “The antichrist will offer to mankind the most exalted earthly organisation of well being and prosperity. He will offer honour, riches, luxury, enjoyment, physical comfort, and delight.”
    “Only with the special help of Divine Grace and under its guidance, will the elect of God be able to stand against the enemy of God, to confess the Lord Jesus before him and before men.
    -------
    St. Ignatius Brianchaninov (1807-1867) served as Bishop in the Caucuses near the Black Sea and is best known as a prolific author of Orthodox Christian ascetical works. Published toward the end of his life, his writings continued to grow in popularity long after his death. Along with his contemporary, St. Theophan the Recluse, St. Ignatius is now considered a foremost authority on Orthodox spirituality. He was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1988. His writings have previously appeared in English as The Arena and On the Prayer of Jesus, among other works.

    AC?
    What is more amazing than how God has set this up in the mystery of His perfection, one for His chosen who chose Him and one for those who deny Him. Freedom taking all where they freely and decidedly want to go.
    I find it as astounding some would not choose God. And will still not to the final reckoning.
    The way to Him the least attractive for the prideful, selfish and worldly minded. And the way to him a constant wonder and joy for those who are meek, simple and of lowly origin.
    The heart swells.
    Secretly.
    Glory to God

      The principles certainly are, if not things more specific. You can see how the world is being prepared for more machinations of the the spirit of Antichrist. Let us hope in God and avoid the stain of the world.

      @@OrthodoxWisdom The spirit of the Antichrist is strong. It is hard to avoid the stain of the world, where in some parts of the world they are not allowing people to work/earn an income unless we give in to the ideas of the world and take these vaccines that are on "offer". God please give us guidance and wisdom

      Catholicism and Orthodoxy differ sharply. Catholics have become heretics since the 11th century. True Christianity, only Eastern Christianity - Orthodoxy from Christ. Western Christianity is in a spiritual delusion, their Christianity is only in external form, but in content heresy. Heresy is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

    Fellow Brethren in Christ, take heed that no man deceives you. The Apostle John reveals to us that God will send His Two Witnesses (Moses and Elijah) to fiercely preach repentance worldwide, but the world will hate and reject them. At the same time, the Antichrist and False Prophet will deceive the world with superficial global peace and prosperity. I highly suspect that these Two Beasts will be Islam’s Imam Al Mahdi as the Antichrist, and Isa Al Masih (Muslim “Prophet Jesus”) as the False Prophet.

    Be afraid of the c19, it can take your life! You must, for your good and for the good of others, take the jab, oh, you must take the booster, if not you will not be able to worship, to buy, to sell, you must do it for your neighbor, the babies sacrificed were long ago, this is not tainted by their cruel death!
    A type of the mark?
    I wonder.
