St. Nilus the Myrrhstreamer
of Mt Athos on the Last Times
A Prophecy by St. Nilus the Myrrhstreamer
of Mt Athos, Greece in the year 1651.
After the year 1900, toward the
middle of the 20th century, the people of that time will become unrecognizable.
When the time of the advent of the antichrist approaches, people's minds
will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonour and lawlessness will
grow stronger. Then the world will grow unrecognizable.
People's appearances will change,
and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their shamelessness
in dress and style of hair. These people will be cruel and will be like
wild animals because of the temptations. There will be no respect
for parents and elders, love will disappear, and christian pastors, bishops, and priests will become vile men, completely failing to distinguish the right hand way from the left.
That time the morals and traditions
of Christians and of the Church will change. People will abandon modesty,
and dissipation will reign. Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions,
and woe to those who pile up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality,
secret deeds, and murder will rule in society. At that future time, due to the
power of such great crimes and licentiousness, people will be deprived
of the grace of the Holy Spirit, which they received in Holy Baptism, and
equally of remorse. The churches of God will be deprived of God fearing and pious pastors, and woe to the Christians remaining in the world at
that time; they will completely lose their faith because they will lack
the opportunity of seeing the light of knowledge from anyone at all. They
will separate themselves out of the world in holy refuges in search of
a lightening of their spiritual sufferings, but everywhere they will meet
obstacles and constraints.
And this will result from the
fact that the antichrist wants to be lord over everything and become the
ruler of the whole universe, and he will produce miracles and fantastic
signs. He will also give depraved wisdom to an unhappy man so that he will
discover a way by which one man can carry on a conversation from one end
of the earth to the other. At that time, men will also fly through the
air like birds and descend to the bottom of the sea like fishes. And when
they have achieved all this, these unhappy people will spend their lives
in comfort without knowing, poor souls, that it is the deceit of antichrist.
And the impious one, he will so complete science with vanity, that it
will go off the right path and lead people to lose faith in the existence
of God. Then God will see the downfall
of the human race and will shorten the days for the sake of those few who
are being saved, because the enemy wants to lead even the chosen into temptation,
if that is possible ... then the sword of chastisement will suddenly appear
to kill the perverter.
