The Smuta in a country smaller than Russia will come a year after my death. The Smuta will continue for two years, after which a Russian tsar will arrive. The first Easter will be full of blood, the second with hunger, and the third with victory.
Elder Iona of Odessa
******
On a separate occasion, he emphasised that there isn’t a separate Ukraine or a separate Russia, but one Holy Rus. Elder Iona died in December 2012 (the Evromaidantsy Smuta began in November-December 2013). The Troubles have gone on for 16 months, that is, two-thirds of the two years prophesied by Elder Iona. We had the first bloody Easter already. There is a shortage of food, utilities, and heat (indeed, all normal necessities) in Kiev… the ordinary people in Kiev will starve as the satanic pro-American satraps such as Yatsenyuk and Klichko party hearty and smash their cudgels into the people’s faces. The present Ukrainian pseudo-state can’t continue… the currency is becoming more worthless than a Magyar pengő, the economy is dead, men refuse to report for conscription, those pressganged into service refuse to fight… no one believes in the notional airy-fairy construct known as the “Ukraine” except for some Galician Uniate/schismatical nutters.
However… as Chukcha would say… just because the Ukrainian pseudo-state is dead doesn’t mean that it’ll shuffle off quietly into that dark night. The USA has staked its reputation on its survival. The Americans don’t have the resources to intervene to any good effect, but the Anglo Americans stupidly believe their own bullshit. The next 90 days will be crucial… Obama’s miscues are mainly due to his trying not to be blindsided by his domestic Republican critics… he’s a domestic policy expert who doesn’t care about foreign policy (that’s why Chilly Hilly took over the State Department, she got away with a lot, as Obama didn’t care about foreign affairs, until an internal Democratic coup ousted her in favour of the clueless Kerry).
Shall it end as Elder Iona predicted? Remember… in Orthodoxy, prophecy is NOT “what will be”, but “what could be”. Free Will is NEVER out of the equation. Shall we coöperate with God or shall we go against him, as the US Republican Party has done in a major way? You can stand with Christ and His Saints, or, you can stand with Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, John McCain, and Rush Limbaugh. That IS the choice… choose well.
What does that tell us about the Orthodox who’ve chosen to serve the Western Moloch? Yes, what does it tell us?
