It is not a miracle if a man sees angels, but if he sees his own sins. Spiritual purification will end for everyone in the same way, it is described in rev 22 what the Godhead shall be like. It says we shall see the face of the one whose name is on our foreheads, also the bible says the name of the Father will be on our foreheads, not Christ but the Father Whose name we do not yet know. The children of Antichrist will have his mark in their foreheads instead. Anyway, that eternal destination where God in His concealed fullness dwells in fullness of glory, that destination is so amazing but we can't see it yet. But yet, that image is meant to be our desire, something we yearn to work towards. The Church is basically as much as we can handle down here on earth as we are, so that is what we have. And in the liturgical life one has inner or noetic experiences of the future Kingdom, new creation, new Israel, new Zion, via the grace of theosis. So, ultimately God has set this whole thing up as a challenge of the heart, will we first submit and then be recieved or shall we demand to be recieved without first meeting God's needs? Indeed those on the outside have no introspect regarding the divine energy of which we speak, which we identify with our good God. It is but an esoteric concept to them, our relating of experiences to them is the same as the insane telling stories of their fantasies and delusions. None of this is empirically provable according to the mysterious will of God, and yet those who do experience it know it to be more real than anything the world has to offer, it is more "trustworthy information" than what is reflected the broken hall of mirrors which is the world, which as a whole is moving toward the second fall and must be saved by christ in the new creation. Whatever happens in the world really doesn't matter because it will all be changed or destroyed, the more time goes on the more souls will end up in heaven so God wins that whole battle too, the entire Kingdom of Satan already got kicked out of Hades into hell 2k years ago. So, the devil is not in our way nor the Antichrist, only our own sins can change our eternal destination, we must end up seeing the Father, elevating to those higher states of being far beyond this pathetic state through which we now communicate. It is our God instilled destiny, destiny just means destination, eternal destination, which is no longer being separated from God, going into His sacred world forever. The whole thing is described in detail how it will go down, by St Niphon of constantia, also St John of Kronstadt wrote a lengthy vision of the judgment, these are very HOPE INSTILLING, INSPIRING additions to the general voice of the Church. The Gospel is not over yet, we are called to become apart of it, to engage in this big spiritual war and get immersed in this whole other world of greater affairs outside our small hugbox of daily affairs. Really it is massively epic what we are called to be apart of, it is like the matrix or lord of the rings times a thousand, even the vast writings of Plato are tiny in greatness compared to the voice of the Church, compared to the matters in which the Church is involved. Faith is heroism in an age of spiritual fear and depression, being chess pieces if God to use against the demons is really quiet a funny scenario but that is essentially how it is. Christ's boat is going one way, Satan wants to get squished by it, so be it, if people can overcome their sins, they have all together with Christ demolished Satan and hell as a team... Lastly, perhaps it is not good for some to know what salvation shall be like, because then they will simply settle with the ideation of it which is indeed a magnificent thing compared to what the world has to offer regarding existential matters, then they will not feel the need to go beyond inquiry, into the immersion of faith, which is full not partial. You invite the devil to absolutely destroy your life, you invite God to take control of your life, all the rest is your own private business which is mostly just vanity anyway according to st john chrysostom, (pause) and then that's when start achieving spiritual balance / purification. It is gritty.
Most of the flora and fauna around us has very short temporal cycles, we don't think about death like this, as something all around us all the time. Every hour uncountable amount of wonderful small animals pass away from old age or natural selection, the world is really a fleeting event in the eternal perspective of things. It's sad but also wonderful in the sense of the resurrection / salvation. I think that fear or Dread of the reality of death everywhere all the time causes many to not look to the beyond and divine, to not be inspired by any of that but rather to remain debased in the passions, the avenues of escape. That new ethos of escape and experimentation and exploring new things is really a vicious cycle leading society back to primeval problematic and social issues, what ancient people also struggled with, because they become enthralled by the demons using ritual magic. It's the age of Nihilism really, nihility is the end result of atheism, a world involving entropy is evolving toward annihilation, devolution becomes evolution, destruction becomes regeneration. Not baptism, repentance, anything Holy, none of that is useful even if it's real, rather life is just about spending yourself on the passions well, like some old coins at the arcade. The self is just some fizzy drink or lolly to be enjoyed by whatever we really are, nothingness, eternity, the godhead, ultimately who cares because NIHILITY, because entropy, because death. Of course most people like that are hypocrites who don't really want to die, it's a society of hypocrisy and conflict which does not really want to go to war. The small animals have more common sense nowadays than most people who have been driven insane by the great quest of modernity, self-empire, temporary heaven on earth selfishness, and then you just die and nothing matters after that. It's really a suicidal condition, and this is reflected in history with all these wars and things, and sadly that's how the second fall will come, the perishing of so many millions of souls who became their own personal antichrists, through wilfully spiritual blindness and blasphemy. Our true escape awaits us, freedom from all this blasphemy, all this disorder and unholiness, all this tragedy and inhumanity, one day after all this has concluded down here. Great patience is needed because there are a thousand false saviours out to usurp the Lord, the hatred of Satan towards anyone who moves toward Christ is deep and enduring, twisted, very personal and difficult to suffer. And yes, those who are undergoing theosis, real Christianity, Satan tempts each with offers to become godlike, as he did with Christ in the desert, he took Him up and offered Him the world with all its kingdoms. Beware the temptation, bow your head to God and cringe at any thought passing through the mind which blasphemes and reduces to nothing the necessity of Christ. One who does not feel the crisis of Christ and the need for union with Him will have no sense of consequence at all if they do some pact with the devil, or if they engage with thoughts FROM WITHOUT (demons) which give praise to sin and put God to shame, which judge God. The spirit of blasphemy is the devil himself, his voice inside the soul reverberating from down in Hell. The same spirit in the Pharisees which accused Christ of being of an impure spirit... Contemplate death always, swiftly death arrives on our doorstep in the midst of hours, days, months, years. It all blends into one in the moment of dying, we go to answer for it all in one sitting with the great one, with dread and utmost Orthodoxy we must approach the inevitable One.
