Subject: Time for a wake-up and awareness

For anyone who doubts that we are living in apocalyptic times, it is suggested that he or she checks the following articles and video clips. It is only a small sample of the prevailing reality that is quietly taking place. Like a duck that is moving gracefully in a pond while its feet are puddling furiously, the modern church is projectig an image of piety and adherance to patristic teachings while working methodically behind the scenes and orchestrating its plans for a union with heretics.
The Moscow Patriarchate has been corrupted to the core by its Atheist creators and together with the rest of the churches of world Orthodoxy they have slowly been drowned by the heresy of Ecumenism. Invented and aided by the masons, Ecumenism has been forcibly introduced into the Orthodox Church and since then it has caught on like a wildfire which has burned everything in its way. Since its inception, the dialoque with heretics has not resulted in any of them renouncing any of their ill conceived positions. To the contrary, this dialoque has infected and corrupted the official "Orthodox Church" which has steadily retreated and capitulated. Saint Paul clearly said that after the first and second attempt to bring a heretic to the Truth, then abandon him, but apparently Saint Paul is no longer credible to the eyes of World Orthodoxy just like the so many other saints whose statements, positions and struggles against heresies are being ignored and discarded in the frenzy to join the easy earthly path of the heretics.
This catastrophy has not spared even the up-to-recently conservative Cyprus. The new calendar church of Cyprus has been steadily drifting in the wrong direction into the hands of Ecumenism. The present so called "Hierarchs", or more appropriately Trojan Horses, of the new calendar church are now more like pawns of the pope than pillars of Orthodoxy. They say one thing and do another. First, as soon as he got enthroned, Chrysostomos rushed to the pope to pledge his allegiance. Then he injected himself between the pope and the Moscow "patriarch" by volunteering to mediate to bring the pope together with Alexei. Now he is sponsoring ecumenistic events. How about doing something that the Orthodox are supposed to be doing such as taking some of the millions of the Archdiocese (the archdiocese is quite a sizable diversified corporation in Cyprus) and helping some of the less fortunate or declare a campaign against the moral cesspool of present day Cyprus or stand up for the principles of the Orthodox Faith or rally the people to prey for God's mercy .... or....or With Orthodox Hierarchs like these who needs the uniates and the heretics? So when I hear that Cypriots took their anger to the streets for their sell out from their Hierarchy, I could not think of a more appropriate parallel than when Metaxakis hijaked the will of the Orthodox and unilaterally issued the Encyclical of 1920 by calling heretics "fellow heirs of the Grace of God". When Metaxakis introduced his innovations, the Greeks of Constantinople were outraged and because they showed it physically, they forced that traitor to pack up from Constantinople at night in order to save his skin.
It is time for the wheat to separate from the chaff. It is time for all those who give credibility to the modern renovationist church by supporting it with their attendance and their money to realize that they have to make a decision: Either they remain in it and they become subjects to the pope or they raise their cross and stand up for what they believe. Protest from within is in vain; the only meaningful protest would be to abandon the heretical bishops and join the True Orthodox Church. One thing is for sure: They cannot continue claiming to be Orthodox Christians. At best, now they can call themselves Uniates because that is exactly what Uniates do: They pretend to be Orthodox by projecting such a facade but in substance they follow the heretical pope which means they are outside the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. As a consequence, the sacraments they receive are devoid of salvific Grace. Who gave the right to the Constantinopoltan patriarch, who is only first among equals, to unilaterally alter the Church calendar or unilaterally lift the anathema against the pope, acting as if he is a monarch? Such behavior is classic Latin in origin emulating the pope's doctrine that only he is supreme and all other bishops are subordinate to him. In the Orthodox Church the supreme leader is Christ and no one Bishop is above any other. In the Orthodox Church it is synods that decide such issues, not one self appointed autocrat. What has changed from 1054 when the Latins were excommunicated because of all their innovations and alterations to the Orthodox Faith till now to make them worthy to the point where the so called Patriarch of Constantinople accepts the heretical pope as first Hierarch and subjects himself (and by extension the world Orthodoxy) to a man who is outside the Church? This is what has changed:
1) The deviations, innovations and alteration to the True Fath by the Catholics and all the myriad of other heretics has accelerated and multiplied since then.
2) The tenacity, steadfastness and adherance to unadulterated Orthodoxy of the bishops of World Orthodoxy has vanished and they now stand as empty shells, devoid of substance and the Grace of the Holy Spirit, parroting sermons of love and care for the fellow human being to justify their apostasy from the fundamentals of the Orthodox Church. As modern day Pharisees, they love to polish their images but have no interest for what they claim they stand for and as Christ himself said, they are like graves beautiful outside but stinking inside.
As a result, we have the disaster that is shaping in front of us these days.
May the Lord strengthen all those who are lukewarm in their hearts but conscientious of the apostasy that is taking place, to find the strength to abandon their heretical bishops and priests and join the True Orthodox Church which never deviated from the Truth despite the relentless persecutions and the plethora of tribulations due to the human failures of its' Hierarchs.
May the Lord strengthen all the pious Orthodox Christians during these times of persecution of the True Faith and to grant courage to defend our Faith till the end of our lives and not to succumb to the papists and their heretical deceptions.
May the Lord enlighten the Bishops who are now embracing the World Council of Churches to recognize their faults, turn them away from ecumenism and cast them out of the synagogue of heretics.
May an army of Saints and Angels come to the aid of the Hierarchs and priests of the True Orthodox Church who fight the good fight, who refuse to obey the masters of the new world order and who refuse to sell Christ for self accommodation.
How and when the Antichrist will come, no one can say. And it is unknown how many shall be able to recognize him when he comes, because he will come as a benefactor of humanity. For the present, one thing can be said with certainty: all these movements towards union among nations and churches, all these compromises, all this uniformity of humanity gradually produced under the steamroller of technological culture are paving the way for the coming of the Antichrist. This development of humanity, according to the criteria of the world, is wonderful. But according to Christian criteria, it is a development towards destruction. Death will find the world at the height of its glory, at the height of self-conceit, at the summit of the tower of Babel , when man will be at the zenith of his very old attempt to become god by his own powers, apart from God. When the Son of man comes, he shall find man in the full glory of his satanic mania.
