Re: True Orthodox Prophecies concerning Russia and the End Times

I have doubts. Not sure the supposed prophets would have said "Austria" in 1053, or "Russia" in the 700s or 800s. Though maybe the translator just translated what they really said (perhaps Ostarrichi and the Rus?) into something that would make more sense today. And if these are ...
