Elder Joseph the Athonite
- Elder, there are some prophecies mentioned about Constantinople and its liberation. Your opinion, and if you can tell us, when in time you would specify something like that.
“Indeed, some holy men have referred to this great event of the liberation of Constantinople from the Islamic thrall (servitude) and this is a fact, but it will certainly happen and it will happen immediately, not in the distant future, but now! The cauldron is boiling above us, Russia-Ukraine in a state of war, which state, we see indeed to be expanding and actually another argument is that indeed NATO decided to transfer first of all 300,000 fighters to Ukraine. In a few days was decided for 500,000 and have reached 700,000 that all these troops are ready to move, to move to Ukraine. And in fact they have made an official decision that one of the passages will be Greece and so here they will channel this army through Pylos-Patra which means Ionia road which will reach Egnatia to proceed to Alexandroupoli and the other will be in Igoumenitsa which leads directly on Egnatia. How much army they had said that will go to Constantinople about 1.5 million so immediately we have now the pre-commencement which is fast. This was very much disputed that you know it will not happen no army will descend. Look, look! That’s what the “sprayed” people said. Always that irony of crazy people telling scenarios. The events are coming! Now...not for another moment in time..another argument... Russia is having a very hard time with the Turkey issue because they have shut off their air space to Syria. In Syria there is a large Russian owned base and two auxiliary small, smaller ones. How will it be refueled since they have closed their air space. How will refueling be done that they’re blocking their passage and moving through the Bosphorus of Dardanelles, Hellespont. How are they going to get there? So therefore, at some point they will bring them to the impenetrable and they will fall vanish them. As St. Paisios had said, within a week, the Russians they will descend, near Jerusalem, because Syria is near Jerusalem. That’s what he meant. So then, the events are NOW! Now they’ve made it difficult for the Russians! Not only the Turks but also the others. This war will not be stopped for anything! It will spill over to the left as we see the map in Europe. Finland, for example, will be destroyed by nuclear weapons! Joseph of Vatopedi said so. It will turn to ashes! For sure...! It will turn to ashes. So, by the Russian nukes. Well, the Russians have already referred to this that they will drop short range nukes, because they’ve come to a dead end and so it’s not to say you know later the events will happen. Now!”
- May God guard us!
“Sure! We are in difficult times! Sure! Sure!”
- In other words, we are talking about the Third World War. Already!
“Of course! Of course. The French have already sent in troops! Everyone has sent weapons anyway! So. All of them have sent armaments. And ammunition. I know what. Missiles. Things. Well. And America as NATO. Ok. But other countries too. So. England, France, Germany. Mainly those with America. Well. The events are approaching. Fast! Fortunately, of course, because it can’t go on anymore. And here the apostasy has reached its height.”
- It doesn’t go any longer!
“Of course. Financially, it doesn’t work anymore. No matter how you look at it. So globally the event does not go any further. It has no other time distance. Alexandroupolis will definitely suffer because it is a traffic hub. Just before I said that Pylos, Patras, Igoumenitsa will be used by NATO, but not the port of Piraeus because it is owned by COSCO, which is of chinese interests so that, not being able to give information about what they have transferred etc. That’s why we mentioned the other three cities, which are official announcements of NATO. So.”
- Now these scenarios sound very extreme, but you are now saying that we are close to them.
“Of course, of course, we are already inside them, quickly! They are coming. The war will not stop! It will become bigger! Didn’t Saint Kosmas the Aetolian say that the Russians will come down? When will they come down? Later? Now, that they are experiencing difficulties! Wherever you look at it. NATO is determined. Of course when you when dig someone’s hole, you fall in too. They will all be destroyed! All the countries that take part against Russia will not have a good time! So. Let’s explain ourselves. It will be very difficult.”
- Now we’re talking about a nuclear holocaust and that’s going to be pernicious for the whole world.
“Not nuclear in the sense that we know in Hiroshima. Except in the case of Finland because they want to make a big nuclear base there. Yes, but Finland with St. Petersburg is only 60 km. 60 km in seconds a missile has gone to St. Petersburg! Nearby is Moscow!”
- So the Russians, as you say, elder, will not let this?
“No way! They’ve stated it indescribable and decisively. There is no way! The surrounding countries will also be destroyed. Poland will suffer a lot. Romania will suffer so so much! They want to make Romania, its a new decision of NATO. There to establish the largest base in Europe. And some ascetic Saints from Romania have told me this. Repeatedly here, Romanian pilgrims passing by. That Bucharest will be destroyed by the Russians! So. And I asked them then when they told me the first time. I say, wait a moment, there is an American base in Bucharest? Yes. If you want a quick heavenly journey, go live next door. Right on the border of the base with the surroundings. So that you have a quick heavenly journey. Because I’m sure they’re going to cause trouble for the Russians and the Russians are certainly not going to stay like this! The Russians are determined to do everything now. So. And these trips that Putin made, China, North Korea...now Vietnam is joined too. And Vietnam is against NATO so they are allied. What does Revelation say? That this whore Babylon the Great will be destroyed. Who is this whore? America! For what reason? It says there in plain words that people got drunk with her fornications. Hollywood. Teach. Fornication, adultery, Satanism, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality. Murders. Αnything perverse. And the devil has his own saints against our Saints. What do we say? Honest wood (True Cross). Holy wood. What the devil says. Hollywood. Holy wood. We see it? Everything that opposes Christ and our faith is there. And on the other side. This is what Hollywood means. It’s ironic! It’s against Christ and our faith. But it also says something else. That they got drunk with the blood of God’s people! She got drunk...that Babylonian whore! They got drunk. Well. What are we seeing now? They put Christians to kill Christians. 1962! The Russians are coming. Badly. Down to Cuba. With the intention to put missiles. Well, America says Ηere you cοme!! 200 kilometers from the borders. Get out or there will be a Third World War! Fortunately, common sense prevailed. They left. But now, where the other monsters wanted to set up a NATO base? Right on the Russian-Ukrainian borders! Wait here. What are you doing? You’re just going to scratch the nose of the beer. They were asking me. What do you think of the war? Yes, sir. Let me tell you. There are many wild animals on earth, in this jungle of the earth. Many wild animals. Lions, tigers, leopards, bears and so on...and snakes that kill with poison or with the power. Now in each of these warlike states match a wild animal. In America we will put the lion. He wants to be the king of the jungle. In Russia we will put the bear. And so on and so on and so on. You guys do the rest. So. So, one eats the other. And here it makes a terrible impression on me. I was watching the baby swallows, there were two nests here. But rivalry in the nest, the young, the newborns. One pushing the other. Which one eats more? Capping. At some point of push, push, push! Pohh.., one was falling down... and was killed. One day a seagull comes along. He had a calm face. I was giving him food and was eating it. One day I put a little extra food. Ten seagulls showed up. Oh, attack! Attack right over there. Well. One against the other. And even with strong bites! No jokes! The day before yesterday. I go out to feed the seagull. Well. The wind was strong. I gave it to him. He was ready to eat. Here comes a seagull. He leaves the food. He runs for the other one to get rid of. Two or three more were coming. To have a battle. The wind takes the food and throws it away. He scattered it.”
- And nobody ate.
“And nobody ate. That’s what’s happening as a picture today. Everybody wants to eat. Most of it..the whole. Let the other one eat too. No, I’ll eat it all. You will eat it all ?There you go. No one will eat. That’s what’s going to happen here now! No one will eat! Everyone will be upset! All sad! And everyone will be devastated! No need for prophecy! You don’t need to be a prophet. Simple logic. You see what’s coming. And what will happen!”
- And near these thoughts the whole world will pay for it.
“The whole world! All the world! And you know...the absurdity of it, is that they’re bothered by the cows’ gas! (climate change) If possible! And they say it officially. And they want to destroy the animals. Well. Why? For what reason? They mess with the ozone. Are you serious? Your aircraft carriers don’t mind the atmosphere?! The ozone. Which are nuclear aircraft carriers...nuclear submarines...warships with nuclear power. With missiles. With nuclear warheads. That’s okay?! But the gases of the cows! From there you can understand the satanic era! You want to know the future? Where are they taking you? What do they want to do to you? There you go. Watch Eurovision. What have they taught for three years. Homosexuality. Lesbianism. And so on. This whole situation.”
- Woke agenda.
“Well and... Satanism. So, especially this year. It’s been more intense. This. An antichrist spirit entirely...on a cross....they were singing...the singers...on a cross!! And not only that, But...they also had a satanic ceremony. So what’s the message? We want to take you there. Now.”
- They were singing on a cross. Of course they were stepping on the cross.
“Of course. Prominent large cross. There is only to see some photos. Don’t listen to text. Neither do you. You don’t need to. It appears.”
- The world has become desperate. We see it everyday. It has become desperate. What would you say to these people?
“Those who did not go to vote, should not speak first of all. But they alter the results. It’s okay to go there and make your protest. Let them see that the beans are not two, but there are two ten..two twenty. Let there be protest! And so, to have your conscience at peace and at rest. Saint Paisios used to say. Christians are too bored to go vote. Because some say... Which one should we vote for? It had this time a political party that spoke of Christ. You don’t want that one. Μake your protest with another party. Since you so badly don’t want to support that one. I see. No problem. Well. But you go and vote again for one of the three who broke up Greece. Hey, you have no brain! Serves you right. Besides, the current Prime Minister told you so. 2024 is now the time, to know what we are talking about. Well. June 2024 is the time as we speak now. They know, I don’t want to mention. Don’t get my mouth dirty. Don’t mention his name. But what he told you ? He was honest. To whom did he say that? To the European Union. Before the elections. He said he would fight racism depending on who he considers a racist. But whatever racism and nativism. And after the elections, what did he say to the European Union again? In English. So. Well. That Europe’s problem is racism. Nativism. Who is the nativist? Nativity is the native one who grew in a country. Where are the natives, his/her grandfathers, his/her father, his/her mother, his/her brothers and sisters and, possibly his/her grandchildren. So then. Τhat’s where we see what it is. That he told you....He’ll fight you. And that’s how he’ll take everything from you. And Saint Kosmas the Aetolian will come true again: “You’ll wake up one day and you will have nothing.” That’s what he’s done to you! He has sold off the country! One takes a loan of 100,000 euros; the loan has reached 300,000 euros; he has given back 250,000 euros, but for the 50,000 euros, because he was fired and so on and, he has no job now, but the banks take his house. For 50,000. And they are having the back of prosecutors, some judges, and some cops, and some others, to throw him out of the house. They should be happy with the daily wage they earn!! But anyway. It’s worth to the world, that’s the way it is....They’re struggling! They’re struggling! No protest at all by nobody! Besides, and the.. the best....friend...of the prime minister’s wife. Who’s in the the Prime Minister’s communications office of the current Prime Minister. He said it. At two conferences of the youth of the New Democracy party! What did this lady say? Her name is Vivian Efthimiopoulou. So. It’s not a secret. It’s on her website and she says and if you click you will see it. I hate nations and homelands. Let me ask you a question, ma’am? What about Israel? You hate Israel too? Whoever has a mind and understands, let him/her understand what I am saying. Also..what did she say? That... I hate this country. The comments are mine. But since you hate this country why you’re not going back where you came from. Good to go. Since this country stinks! Not now. Always. I’ll say it again so you understand. I hate this country! She said. Period. Not now. Period. Always. Period. It shows hatred. Since 1993 I’ve been living in a state of nausea. From hypocrisy, religiosity, conservatism. Conservatism is saying I don’t agree with homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, gender change and even at the age of 15 years old! Another prime minister who enacted the gender change. Let them be happy for him and those who voted for him too! Well. So.”
- The one who sold off the name of Macedonia.
“Yes! And with him. Along with this one. Because he also said when he takes over, he will take it back. But he didn’t take it back. He had said that when I step up and become prime minister I will withdraw this agreement. They’re pulling your leg! You’re being played! There you go. Vote for them. Keep them voting. Vote. She continues her rhetoric of hate and tells us, I want everything to be destroyed. What you say, lady? That’s why they put you up there. To destroy, not to fix. This is reflected as an idea in this year’s Thessaloniki Film Festival where they expressed in letters of the English alphabet the following unheard of; “Destroy Greece”, destroy Greece and no one protested! This is similar to the other racist ‘die Greece so we can live.’ From there you understand what is coming. So I continue with this lady. What else did she say...to fall the domes of the 20,000 churches in the territory to flatter us. Lady here I see that you don’t have a sphericity but you specialize the things only against Christians. So why, not let the domes fall, according to what you say. So. Well why don’t you mention synagogues and mosques and so on over there. Why do you only specialize in churches to save the planet from a useless nation. Period. End! Exclamation mark! Hatred again. It ends with hatred. You’re useless. She told you. And you still have her there! Despite protests, he did not take it down. He didn’t put her aside. The new prime minister, of course.”
- What position has this lady?
“She is in the prime minister’s communications office. Which means it is a group of men and women who say to prime minister what to say or what to be careful not to say. That is, they open the box for him. They put the tape in him. They close it, lock it, and this begins. And he says whatever the tape has in. This. And we go to the other message. This lady’s. She says that people are not going to be set free, before the last king is strangled. Nice word. Wow, what a level! Well, with the intestines, to have intestines, lady, you gotta gutted like this. Great, what a level! I repeat! With the intestines of the last priest. Why not the last rabbi’s guts. Or the last hodja’s. Or that guru’s. We are not doing well! These are official statements! They were said and emphasized. There are on her web page! To understand! Οn the one hand, the Prime Minister said. That we will fight you and at the other hand, she, who backs the Prime Minister, said what you have to go through!”
- Unbelievable really! This sounds shocking!
“Of course! Of course, but as long as people only watch porn, what can you do. According to your deeds. Do wrong, it’ll slap back. The way you make your bed, that’s how you sleep. Three million will remain! Three million will remain! And that wasn’t just some little priest who said that. God himself said! What he said after Sinai? That if you obey my commandments you will eat the all the good things of the earth. The harvest of the wheat until the harvest of the grapes. The harvest of the grapes until the harvest of the wheat. To show euphoria. The doors of your houses open. You will have no enemies. Wild animals will not harm you, etc. If the discounts start from you, they will start from us. Here is the road, if the first deviation begins, this will come down. It does not matter. Communicating vessels somehow. You choose it. God is like a mirror. You laugh at him, He laughs at you. You get angry with him, He gets angry with you. God does not alter His dispositions towards us! We alter our dispositions towards God! God always wants you to be saved and to realize the truth! Going back....Second deviation. Even further down. A third deviation that seems to be completely opposite. Well, what it is said there; “I will unleash against you the wild beasts of the earth, which will devour you and your animals will destroy; and thus I will make you few in your land and your roads will be desolate of people.” I’ll prune you numerically. You see it. You see what He says. I will prune you numerically! So it’s not some altar boy or anybody else saying it. God himself said it! And this is also coming here in Greece! Three million, as Father Ambrosios said; another priest Sophronios, who died 102 years old, and was crying at the end of his life! Take me, my Virgin Mary, my mother, that’s what he called our Virgin Mary. Take me, Mother, I don’t want to see what’s coming! He died three years ago. But unfortunately, we wouldn’t want to end like this...but don’t be afraid. After the contaminated blood is gone, they will remain what they remain and Orthodoxy will be revived! So with the acquisition of Constantinople, as St. Paisios said, for 30-35 years, Orthodoxy will shine throughout the world! They will pull you, tell us about Christ! Tell us about Christ! Well and then the great decline will begin until we go into the age of the Antichrist where it ends and the life here. It is important that people repent. If the world repents, the picture will change. But to repent, one must take his/her responsibilities and to say “it’s my fault, noone else fault is, forgive me my God, forgive me, it’s my fault, it’s my fault, please forgive me.” Well, to have a spiritual father, to go and confess, to go to church often and incessantly, and when the spiritual father will indicate, to commune. This is the only way the situation will change. Τhere is no other way!”
