We will learn about what happened from books or history lessons. But future events that cause constant public interest are covered in an invisible veil. Not everyone is capable of breaking it. Only some clairvoyants have the opportunity to spy on the main trends of the future. One of the most perspicacious is considered to be Paisius Svyatorets. His prophecies are popular, interpreted and retold by many. In the words of the Elder a lot of incomprehensible and strange. Although time puts everything in its place. The incredible prophecies of Paisius Svyatogorets about Russia have already come true in some parts. Therefore, there is reason to expect the further embodiment of that beautiful path that the Elder took to this Great Stainless. Let us examine in detail what Paisiy Svyatorets spoke of, the prophecies of which became so popular in connection with the aggressive step of Turkey in relation to the Russian military aircraft.
Who is Paisius Svyatorets?
We will discuss the prophecies of the Elder in detail below. To begin with, a few words about him. You see, the Lord does not give knowledge of the future to everyone. This mercy should be earned by righteousness and true faith. Paisius Svyatorets, whose prophecies so excite the general public, completely coped with this task. He was born back in 1924 in an ordinary Greek family. The father decided to be a carpenter to his son, which he was taught. However, the future Elder of Mount Athos acted in his own way. From childhood, his soul longed for the Lord. He wanted to go to the monastery. But family matters delayed the moment of fulfillment of a dream. Only in 1950 was he able to become a novice. Since then he lived on Mount Athos, praying for people, trying to share wisdom and fiery faith with pilgrims and disciples. By the way, the prophecies of Paisius the Holy Mountaineer became known from the lips of those people with whom he communicated. And a lot of people came to the Elder for advice and guidance. He was very kind and fair. Paisius Svyatorets, whose prophecies are filled with great love for the Motherland, was simple and courteous in communication. He is respected and trembling by all those who happened to speak with the Elder. According to witnesses, he had a manner of delivering information in portions. That is, he did not say in the forehead everything that he considered necessary. No, I gave the listener time to clarify the meaning of what was said, then only continued his narration. Sometimes, several hours passed between pieces of information, and sometimes days. The discerning Elder watched the effect to make sure that the meaning of his words reached the listener. Thanks to this peculiar manner, we all have the opportunity to get acquainted with his thoughts and prophecies. They are retold by those who perceive the information with their own ears and remember. The Elder died in 1974, and in 2015 he was canonized.

The prophecy of Paisius the Holy Mountaineer about the war
It should be noted that the Elder is revered both at home - in Greece, and in other countries. Not particularly trusted in Turkey. And there are reasons for this. The Turks do not like the prophecies of Paisius Svyatogorets about the Third World War. The Elder used to say that hostilities will unfold in the Middle East. By the way, we observe this on TVs and computers. Here are just the protagonists of this bloody battle are not the same. According to Elder, two hundred million Chinese should take part in the battles. They will come when the Euphrates shallows. The saint pointed out to the audience that everyone could see the signs of the approaching Armageddon. He called for reflection. After all, such a powerful river as the Euphrates cannot dehydrate by itself. The miracle of the Lord will not happen. All people do it yourself. The fact that the last battle is close will be indicated by construction work in the upper river. They will block it with a dam, the waters will fall. Then the army will be able to overcome the obstacle without a bridge. The Chinese will reach Jerusalem and take it. And in the Turkish expanses, Russians and Europeans will converge in battle. Doesn’t the fact that the provocation in which the pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces perished looks like the beginning of these tragic events, a kind of reference point before the start of the terrible war?

Prophecies of Paisius Svyatogorets about Russia
To the pilgrims, the Elder often said that on Mount Athos they pray for Russia, ask the Lord for the revival of the people of this country. Many troubles were experienced by people. And not only with the loss of material, they are associated. The people are like the crew of a ship washed ashore by the waves. People panic, having lost faith in God, do not know where to wait for help, as the old man Paisius Svyatorets saw. Prophecies about Russia are connected with his awareness by believers living in the country of their divine destiny. They will remember what it means to be true Orthodox, kind to the world and furious with enemies. From this moment the objection of the Great Power will begin. And the whole world will rejoice, and the enemies will be horrified. But up to this point, Christians will have to endure much more terrible. They will be persecuted in all lands. Jews will seize power and begin to destroy Orthodoxy. Their goal will be to create a world in which there is no compassion and true faith, claimed the elder Paisius Svyatorets. He spoke infrequently about Russia. But he was sure that the Lord would not leave this people. She will always help him, wait until people turn to faith, understand that it is in them their strength. And then Russia will stand up for its Orthodox brothers - the Greeks. At this moment, Turkey will go to war on the homeland of the Elder. Here comes the moment of the great battle. By all means, the servants of the Antichrist will try to prevent the reunification of the Orthodox, their strengthening, May nothing come of them. The Lord will help the children of his beloved conquer the darkness.
About the collapse of the USSR
Pilgrims and guests were surprised by some of the statements of the Elder. So, a certain gentleman was trying to find out what would happen to the USSR. And this happened during the time of Brezhnev. The country was strong, confidently looking to the future. However, the Elder told this gentleman that the Union would soon break up. To the surprised objection, he replied in the sense of what you would see. And this gentleman, it must be noted, was at that time no longer a young man. And so it happened. The elder said that such a tragic event for the people is only a test before the great battle, in which the Russians (meaning people of all nationalities) should take part. But until they return to the Orthodox faith, they have no chance of victory.
About Constantinople
Now, as you know, this previously Greek city is called Istanbul and is the capital of Turkey. The prophecies of Cosmas of Aetolia and Paisius of the Holy Mountain speak about him. Rather, the first expressed thoughts about the return of the city under the Greek banner, and the second deciphered them. Cosmas of Aetola spoke of the time coming when there would be a great war. Then "the mountains will save many souls." The Elder deciphered these words with this advice: when the ships enter the Mediterranean Sea, all women with children need to leave the city. This will mean a quick bloodshed. And the military should indicate exactly where the city is located. The Greeks did not have time to take part in the battle. But they will enter Constantinople as winners. Such circumstances will arise in world politics that the Russians will not be able to leave the city to themselves, decide that it is better to transfer it to other hands. Here and remember the Greeks. And the glorious city will return again under its native banners. Turkey is waiting for the collapse. Unenviable, according to the Elder, the fate of this people. A third of the Turks will become Orthodox, the rest will die or move to Mesopotamia. There will be no more such state on the map. Such is the prophecy of Paisius the Holy Mountaineer. About the last times, he said that the signs will be clear, we will all see them. As the mosque of Omar is destroyed , one should prepare for great battles. It stands on the spot where the temple of Solomon was once . The Jewish people dream of reviving him, for only he is the true House of the Lord for them. And for this it is necessary to wipe the mosque off the face of the earth. This is what the adherents of the Antichrist will do. The destruction of the Omar mosque is a sign of recent times.

About spiritual and material
Many prophecies of St. Paisius the Holy Mountaineer concerned the life of ordinary people. He said that the Lord needs to believe sacredly, despite any trials. And the Elder saw many more in front of the Orthodox. In difficult times, when the Antichrist will almost prevail over the world, only faith will save people. Demons fail to overcome this last outpost of light in souls. These words may seem strange to a modern person, and the power of faith is insignificant, however, he will be mistaken. When you read the prophecy of Paisius the Holy Mountaineer about the last times, remember that no one will leave the answer. Everyone will have to choose which side to fight on. Those who support the forces of darkness, bow before the Golden Calf, will fall. The light in the souls of these people will fade, and the flames of Hell will swallow them. But believers will not hurt anything. They are under the protection of the Lord, and are his warriors. Every person will have to choose. Neutrality, as they say today, cannot be maintained. The last battle will be the confrontation of the flame of souls, standing on opposite sides of good and evil. The prophecies of Paisius the Holy Mountaineer about Antichrist indicate that it will be difficult for people to resist his will. By cunning, he will conquer hearts. Only real, fiery trust in Jesus Christ, following His commandments, will save the Antichrist from power.
Testing rebirth
People at all times strive for a peaceful, prosperous life. There is no sin in this. But the fate of mankind is such that only those who cannot betray the Lord can enter the kingdom of God. And everyone will have their own "front." In souls, war is already on. The Antichrist is trying to lure people to his side. If you think about it, you will see it yourself. We are constantly inspired by other people's goals, unnatural desires and dreams. Is it possible for a person to resist the “golden calf” when everyone around him considers possession of wealth to be true happiness? This is how the antichrist acts. He needs to erase from the souls of human thoughts about Orthodoxy and God. Then he will become the owner of our world. But the land will already be different, cruel and bloodthirsty. But do we not now see in ISIS (the organization banned in the Russian Federation) signs of a diabolical ideology? Blood flows like water, people die without trial. Is such a world a dream of those who are the creation of the Lord? But the battle is already underway. She, we repeat, in the souls of people. And which side will you take?

Is it worth the wealth of soul loss?
Today, people are looking for the prophecies of Paisius the Holy Mountaineer about money. They think that the Elder predicted exchange rates? Of course not. He looked deeper at the essence of the world, believed in humanity. He tried to bring light and kindness to people. It is these qualities that are the foundation of a new, revived world. There will be no worship of money. And they themselves will lose the significance that they have today. When the Antichrist is defeated, we will begin to think, dream and act differently. There will not be people on earth for whom gold will be a value. In fact, is it the meaning of our existence? They say in its quantity. But this is just a joke. People need to understand what they come into this world to do, to help the Lord perfect the planet. And for this you need to look into the soul, to see abilities there. That is what the Elder saw our common future.
About the Russian Tsar
Interestingly, many prophets associated the rebirth of Russia with the anointed of God. And Elder Paisius said that the king would return. He described his vision of a ship washed ashore. It was Russia. In the hold and on the frigate’s decks the people panic, in the eyes of fear and lack of hope. And then, as the Elder said, people saw that a rider was rushing towards them right in the waves. This is an Orthodox king, defined by the Lord as a nation. And under his leadership, the ship returns to the expanse of the sea, safely gets on the right course. This is how Paisiy Svyatorets described the rebirth of Russia. His prophecies, by the way, echo the thoughts of other clairvoyants. Whether they come true, we (or our descendants) will see. Indeed, by all indications, the end of time is near. And do not be afraid of it. You need to follow the advice of the Elder, believe the Lord and he will protect.
Conclusion
You know, people often get carried away with all sorts of prophecies and predictions. Some criticize them, others - holy faith. Whether the events described by the Elder come to life, apparently, depends on those people who live on earth. Is not it? And not the last battle you need to wait, having read the comments. The elder said all this with one purpose - to warn about the machinations of the Antichrist. Everyone needs not to buy weapons or dig a bomb shelter, but to build the Temple of the Lord in the soul. Paisiy Svyatrets did not get tired of warning that believers and only they would be saved! That is the main point of his prophecies. Whether Constantinople will fall, whether the Chinese will cross the Euphrates, will be decided by those who stand next to the Lord against the army of Antichrist. Is not it?
