Prophecies Of St Seraphim Of Vyritsa (1866-1949)
The Elder said that a time will come (it is already coming!) when the debauchery and moral decline of the young will reach their ultimate point. Virtually no-one will remain uncorrupted. Seeing their impunity, the young will consider that everything is permitted them for the satisfaction of their whims and lusts. They will begin to gather in groups and gangs, stealing and debauching themselves. But a time will come when the voice of God will be heard, when the young will understand that it is not possible to go on living in that way. They will come to the faith in various ways, drawn ever more strongly to the ascetic life. Those who before were sinners and drunkards will fill the churches and greatly thirst for spiritual life. Many of them will become monks. Monasteries will open, churches will be filled with the faithful. Then young people will go on pilgrimages. It will be a glorious time! The repentance of those that sin now will be all the more ardent...
The storm will pass over the Russian land, The Lord will forgive the Russian people their sins. And in Divine and Holy beauty the Cross Will shine brightly above the Church of God once more. And the ringing of bells will awaken All our Holy Rus to salvation from the slumber of sin. Holy monasteries will open anew, And faith in God will unite all.
The salvation of the world is from Russia. St Petersburg will become the spiritual centre of the country. There will be more great events in Russia - the opening and glorification of holy relics in St Petersburg - a great joy for the whole world...
The Orient will be baptized in Russia. The whole heavenly world is praying for the enlightenment of the Orient.
A time will come when there will be a spiritual flowering in Russia. Many churches and monasteries will open, even those of other faiths will come to us in ships to be baptized. But this will not last long - for about fifteen years, then Antichrist will come ...
The time will come when there will be no persecution, but money and the attractions of this world will draw people away from God and many more souls will perish than during the period of open militant atheism. On the one hand, they will raise up crosses and gild cupolas, but on the other hand, the kingdom of lies and evil will come. The True Church will always be persecuted. Salvation will only be possible through sorrows and illness, persecutions will take on a very refined and unpredictable character. It will be terrible to live to those times.
A time will come when Russia will be torn apart. First they will split her up, then they will start to plunder her wealth. The West will in every way try to further Russia’s destruction and hand over her eastern part to China. The Far East will fall into the hands of the Japanese. Siberia will fall to the Chinese, who will start to settle in Russia, marry Russians and eventually, through cunning and craft, occupy all Siberia as far as the Urals. When China tries to go further, the West will oppose it.
Many countries will fall on Russia, but she will survive, though losing a great part of her territory. That war, foretold by the Holy Scriptures, will bring about the unity of mankind. People will understand that it will be impossible to go on, otherwise every living thing will die. They will elect a single government – this will be the antichamber for the reign of Antichrist. Then the persecution of Christians will begin...
Among the disciples of St Seraphim, there were two eldresses, Pulcheria and Alexandra. Both had the gift of clairvoyance and the same gift of prophecy as their spiritual father. Of the future they said the following:
Much blood will be shed inside our country during a war with peoples of the Caucasus. A time will come when they will take away the red flags…the rule of the House of Romanov will not come all at once, there will a time of transition. Then Russia will be ungovernable, there will be a power struggle in Russia. At a difficult time for Russia someone who has been miraculously saved from the House of Romanov will come to power...
Boy, that was what I needed this afternoon. Really uplifting. Not.
There is no 5 fold ministry anymore - the Apostles laid the foundation, as the Bible says. It is complete. The church is building on that foundation.
yes if we focused more on Jesus words be holy as I am holy the world would be a more comfortable place huh ! Or just focus on Jesus on their face each day . . .
later
I truly believe that there is an incredible wave of purity about to hit not just our country but worldwide yet death will parallel it as some unfortunately will reject Jesus at this very same time sadly enough .
How appropriate!
“It came from Me” Did you ever stop to think that everything that affects you affects Me as well? For everything that has to do with you also has to do with apple of My eye. You are precious in My sight, very precious, and I love you. It therefore brings me special joy to educate you. I want you to know that whenever a flood of the enemy’s temptations enemy has descended upon you, it came from Me.I want you to know that in your weakness, you need My strength, and that your safety lies in giving Me the opportunity to defend you. Did you ever find yourself in difficult straits, among people who did not understand you, who did not consider what you liked, who kept aloof from? Know that this was from Me.
I am your God, Who orders circumstances. It was no accident that you found yourself in that specific place; it was the very place I had appointed for you. Did you not ask that I teach you humility? Thus, I set you into that specific milieu, in the school in which that lesson could be learned. Those around you, those living with you, are merely acting according to My will. If you were ever in financial difficulties, if it was hard for you to make ends meet – that came from Me.
For I manage your resources, and I want you to run to Me, to know that you depend upon Me, that my store of resources is inexhaustible. I want you to become convinced that I faithfully keep My promises, so that in your time of need, others might not be able to say to you “Don’t believe your Lord God.” Did you ever spend the night in sorrow? If you were estranged from loved ones and neighbors, I sent you that.
I am the Man of sorrows, who knows the meaning of sickness. I allowed it so that you might turn to Me and in Me find eternal comfort. If a friend, someone to whom you had opened your heart, disappointed you, that also came from Me.
I allowed you to be touched by that disappointment, so that you might recognize that the Lord is your truest friend. I want you to bring Me everything, and to talk to Me. If someone slandered you, present it to Me, and with your shoulder lean closer to Me, your refuge, so that you might be sheltered from wagging tongues. I will bring out your truth like a bright light and and your fate like noonday. When your plans fell through and you felt downhearted and exhausted, that was from Me.
You had made your own plans, you had your own intentions, and you brought them to Me for My blessing. However, I wanted you to allow Me to decide and order the circumstances of your life, for you are merely an instrument and not an active participant. When in your secular life you encountered unexpected misfortunes, when your heart was seized by despair, know that it came from Me.
For I want your heart and soul to always be ablaze in My sight, to defeat with My name any faint-heartedness. If, because those dear to you infrequently get in touch with you, your faint-heartedness and weakness of faith cause you to fall into discontented grumbling and despair, know that that also came from Me.
It is through this troubling of your soul that I test the strength of your faith, the immutability of your promises, and the daring of your prayers for those dear to you. Was it not you who entrusted your cares for them to My providential love? Was it not you who still entrusts them to the Protection of My Most-pure Mother? If you were struck by a serious illness, whether temporary or incurable, and you became bedridden – that came from Me.
I wanted you to come to know me even more even better through your bodily ills, so that you would not complain about all of these trials sent to you, so that you would not strive by various means to discern my plans of salvation of human souls, so that instead you would obediently and without complaint, would bow your head before My grace for you. If you ever dreamed of doing some special work for Me, and instead lay down on your bed of illness and weakness, that was from Me.
For you would have been burdened with your own affairs, and I would have been unable to attract your mind to thoughts about Me. Yet I want to teach you My most profound of thoughts and lessons, so that you might be in My service. I want you to comprehend that you are nothing without Me. Some of My best children are those who are cut off from active work, so that they might learn to use the weapon of ceaseless prayer. If, unexpectedly, you are called to take on this difficult and responsible position, put your trust in Me. I entrust you with these difficulties, and for them, your Lord God will bless you in everything you do wherever you go; in everything, your Lord will be your Director and Teacher. On this day, My child, I have placed in your hands that container of Holy Oil. Make free use of it. Always remember that every difficulty that arises, every word that offends you, every wrongful accusation or condemnation, every obstacle to doing your job that could evoke disappointment, disillusion, disenchantment, every manifestation of weakness and impotence will be anointed with this oil. That came from Me.
Remember that every false accusation is an instruction from God. Therefore, instill in your heart those words I have told you today: It came from Me.
Keep them, know them and always remember them, wherever you might go. The pain of every sting you endure will be blunted if you will but learn to see Me in everything. I sent everything to perfect your soul. It all came from Me.
If you are in order ( obedience not religion ) not lording over others costantly this word would apply to you now also however there is a complete surrender one MUST reach through true humilty not false humility the counterfeit , to enter in . True posture not counterfeits that are apparent as they were to The Holy Spirit with Ananius and Syphirah .
Ahab wanted to have and Lord over a vineyard of another man’s inheritance and took control by wining to Jezebel who killed the prophets of the Lord ( attempted to stop the voice of God ) Testimony of Jesus Christ .
So when we put earthly things even as small as websites under our belt we create our own kingdom when in fact even these things can become golden calves and cause us to lose sight and focus on Jesus The Worthy Lamb of God .
So when he truly becomes our Lord “ Nothing else matters “
The song “Jesus take the wheel” sums it all up !
Where the spirit of the Lord is there “ is “ Freedom which is the first name of this site !
I’ll say it again the spirit of the prophets are subject to the prophets .
Touch not my anointed do my prophets NO harm and do not despise prophecy !
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of ALL understanding so to fear9respect) him is to respect the spirit of prophecy that “ is “ the Testimony of Jesus Christ so if it points you and encourages you to him and to be in his image this is good . . .
You did not come to me in love but control(Jezebel) .
This is an observation God is your judge , you have sove”reign”ty over your choices just as Moses but I would reccommend you do not strike the rock and sleigh his messengers and speak to the Rock a little more often .
Beautiful. Thank you.
there are a billion Catholics.
Half a dozen see the virgin mary on potato chips.
Stop smearing the other 999,999,988 with your bigotry.
Citation, please? I looked this up, but the prophecies of St. Seraphim I found were nothing like this in nature.
