Elder George of Kavsokalyvia
In this reflective message, Elder George revisits the prophetic words of Saint Paisios and Saint Porphyrios, emphasizing that everything spoken by the Saints and by Christ Himself will come to pass with divine precision. Drawing from spiritual insight and current geopolitical tensions, Elder George warns of the signs of approaching conflict, particularly in the Aegean region, and urges believers to turn to the intercessions of the Theotokos.
“I want to repeat something I said at the beginning. Saint Paisios once said and everything he said, everything the saints have said will come true with precision. Everything Christ said, everything Saint Porphyrios said what did not happen.
And I will say again about the Porphyrios what he said and that didn’t happen. Everything happened.
And I will mention something about the fishes, he called me a fisherman. But I will also share something very serious that Saint Paisios said.
From the beginning, he warned: when you hear intense discussions on television and in the media about the Aegean, about territorial waters 6 miles, 12 miles, and so on know that war is near. And when you see the Turkish embassy leaves Greece, begin to pray the intercessions of the Theotokos: ‘By the embassies of the Theotokos, Savior, save us.’
It hasn’t left yet. But it’s not far off. Things are wild. People are pushing each other, provoking each other it’s fierce now.
You don’t know where to hide. From our own national issues, from the immigrant issues, from the Turkish side, where can you find safety?
However, I will address it since he mentions the embassies.
You have a relationship with the embassies. There are two kinds of intercessions: those of the Theotokos, and those of state ambassadors. What do ambassadors do? They serve the interests of their country.
An ambassador is someone who represents their nation in another country to handle affairs.
And what does the Virgin Mary do? She intercedes, she handles the affairs of all who believe in Christ, asking Him to solve their problems.
And what did Christ say to the Virgin Mary? ‘Only requests you bring me.’ I haven’t seen anything from anyone else. Everytime you tell me, ‘Do this, do that.’
You have never told me that someone did something truly good, something meaningful on this earth. They are unacceptable, really.
We have already learned them. If you want to learn, learn some new things like that. Those new things can be learned too. And that’s true. And no one needs to tell me that. You come here empty-handed, invoking the Virgin Mary.
What are some of our people doing over there? They do nothing.
And lately they have heard that the American ambassador are supposed to come, and now they are coming for one month; next month they will come, the month after that they will come, and the one after that. And everything keeps changing with rumors, and the deadlines keep shifting.
Some people say that certain American ambassadors haven’t yet arrived in the countries they were appointed to, even though they should have by now. How long has the they have been in Turkey already? Why are they in Turkey for so long, and why haven’t they shown any signs of coming here (Greece)?
What’s happening here? Something’s happening. We have to… The pains and knowledge. The man of God concerns himself with everything.
Wait for Mitsotakis what will happen. He says that everything is going well, and we are going crap. Sorry to say it like that.
With the Hellenism-imbued who were demonized. Greece itself is Hellenism-imbued almost all Greeks, with only a few exceptions. They are demonized.
And what did Porphyrios say? That Greece is ruled by Satan. And I ask, my child, why is it taking so long for her (the new U.S ambassador for Greece) to come? August has passed, September is coming, it is said now she will come in September, maybe in October. So wake up, everyone. Let us all awaken.
Because this woman, who has been elected as ambassador, will come to Greece. On the day of the Virgin Mary. Yesterday or rather, the day before yesterday. She made reference to Theotokos. She asked for Her prayers and intercessions, the ambassador herself.
Some might say, ‘She’s coming to Greece, she must show devout to the Greeks.’ And that truly impressed me.
I have to observe these things, otherwise how I can form an opinion. How we all make the sign of the cross?
Look how she made the sign of the cross in front of the cameras and everyone else, including us. Bravo to the ambassador. She surpassed us all and is still messing around.
You flit about like that. Doubtful go like this, like that. When you take photos, you set up a camera, and when you see it like that, you make the sign of the cross.
You make the sign of the cross like that. Is the camera lying? Why did this woman made the sign of the cross so beautifully?
Saint Porphyrios told me this. I have known it since I was a child. But once, he said, before the icon of the Virgin Mary, this is serious not simple, he stood up in front of the icon of the Virgin Mary and said, ‘Let me show you how to make the sign of the cross.’
Where are we, you English types? Like this. Nice sign of the cross you have got there. Nice, symmetrical.
And she goes up to the icon of the Virgin Mary and does this. And it was done by the ambassador who is coming to Greece. Come on.
Porphyrios is bringing her here? Something is happening. Maybe she is pretending, maybe she is lying, maybe she is trying to deceive us.
Some might say she’s a good Christian. But why doesn’t Mitsotakis want to deceive us too, by making the sign of the cross beautifully? I ask that too why does he do it like that?
I ask, my child it is serious. And she is the ambassador who was elected, who is been approved by the Senate. She is delaying, not coming, yet she speaks of the Virgin Mary and offers prayers.
And I was informed when she will come to Greece. One of his priorities is that Mount Athos is forbidden territory and women are not allowed. She will ask the “Holy Epistatasia” to have an icon of the Virgin Mary brought out to Thessaloniki so that he can venerate it. I have been informed of this. Come on.
The ambassodor is coming to Greece to do these things. We are entering a new era. A new condition.
They say that Orthodoxy in America experienced a major boom and that people are becoming very Orthodox. I’m holding a small basket for those who all become Orthodox.
Because, as Christ says in the Gospel, He travels across the sea and speaks to the Pharisees and the Scribes: “You go to great lengths to make a single convert, and when you succeed, you make him a Jew who adopts the customs and traditions of the Jews, and you make him twice as much a child of Gehenna (hell).” You make him more condemned than yourselves. He was on the path to becoming an Orthodox Christian.
And? what happens? To make the sign of the cross like that? I won’t say more about the ambassador. I hope, but I personanlly associate all this with Saint Porphyrios and Saint Paisios. Invoke the embassies of the Theotokos.
And this is the woman she makes the sign of the cross beautifully, and in that way, she also wants to deceive us. Yet she sets an example for us. And she made reference to the Lady Theotokos.
Before she comes and she still hasn’t come. I’m waiting for something. I see the Wolf’s, I search for the Bull’s. I don’t engage in other things.”
