Patriarch Kirill Says the Fate of the World Depends on the Future of Russia
Interfax ^ | 11/21/22

Moscow, November 21, Interfax - Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia believes that the prospects of world civilization depend on Russia.

"The future of the world depends in the full sense of the word on the future of our Fatherland, our people, our Church, because today our Motherland defends those values that put a barrier to apostasy, that is, the movement towards the end of time under the rule of the antichrist," the patriarch told the audience at a reception in the Christ the Savior Cathedral on the occasion of the primate's birthday.

"Remembering what the word of God says in relation to the coming of the antichrist into the world, we can say that today Russia is a deterrent. And this means that all the forces of the antichrist will be thrown at our country," Patriarch Kirill continued.

At the same time, he noted that the "core of spiritual resistance" of Russia is the Russian Orthodox Church, and in this sense its pastors are "on the front line today." "And we, as a Church, must take part in the struggle of our Fatherland against the world evil, this leprosy, this antichrist movement that can destroy both the whole world and Russia," the patriarch said.

In conclusion, he wished God's help "so that together, together with all those who love the Motherland, we could stand up for the Fatherland today and do everything to gain victory."

He is right the fate of the world depends a lot on Russia being defeated.

I believe the Patriarch speaks not far from the truth.

He may well be right. If the antichrist is to emerge, it will be as the leader of the “liberal world order” that our corrupt political class and the WEF/Soros/Great Reset crowd is all a part of.

The error of nationalism; all the kingdoms of the world are as naught compared to the Kingdom of Messiah.

Being that Russia has the highest abortion rate in the world, it is hard to love Russia as the “Motherland.”

You're crazy if you think Russia is a bigger threat than globalists, including George Soros and the WEF crowd, behind this war. Globalism and the "liberal world order" is the biggest threat to the world and this country.

But don’t only 7% of Russians go to church?

And how many truly believe what the ROC teaches in reality?

_______________________________

Russia, under Putin, has reduced abortion by 75%

In 2005, 1.6 million abortions were registered in Russia; 20% of these involved girls under the age of 18. Official statistics put the number of abortions at 450,000 in 2020. As of 2021, the abortion rate was 12 abortions per year per 1000 women aged 15–44 years.

That's right, the defenders of Christianity will be the "former" KGB and Marxist liberation Theoligist Kirill and a country of degenerates where only 7% of the population even attends church once a month (even Norway has better numbers). A country that is so full of lies not even its supporters can deny it.

But hey, Kirill mouths off about persecuting homosexuals, and since that is all that Christianity is about--persecuting Putinist's deepest darkest desires--well, then it MUST be of God!

Hey dummy, we're not all conspiracy theorists who believe in the Illuminati and blame them for starting an invasion that Russia obviously did.

In the real world, George Soros can be a big liberal and Putin can be a totalitarian killer and you can be a slimey little anti-American.

It's not all black and white, us vs. them. You're bad, George Soros is bad, Russia is bad. We have options!

Why? Are you actually taking China's position on all these conflicts?

Let's start at the top of your list: Do you think the USA is the villain in the Korean war?
