I do not remember, because I have long lost interest in such prophecies. One of them is that Orthodox Christianity will be revived in Russia and there will be an Orthodox tsar. And when the antichrist comes, he will take possession of all the land except Russia. He will be afraid of the Russian tsar. This directly contradicts the Revelation of John the Theologian.

I am also skeptical of the prophecy attributed to the Reverend Paisius of Mount Athos. That Russia will take away Constantinople from Turkey by military means and give it to Greece.

Yeah, I'm not sure what I would make of those either. Never heard either of those before.
I do not see any logic. No relationship between war, famine and the growth of true faith. Superstitions are growing. And the preaching of true faith needs silence. War, famine, death, injury - this is an exam. But before taking the exams, you must: 1) go to university; 2) undergo training.

I'm simply saying that before men can have ears to hear, many must come to the place where they feel the need for God in their lives. When things are fine they have no need. But being in the midst of a war where one's life is being threatened, or not knowing where your next meal will come from, these are the types of situations that can cause men to call out to God in their need.

I thought so too during the coronavirus epidemic. Many people died. It has been shown on TV and in the news on the Internet. I thought that people would go to temples en masse. But no. Because of the fear of getting infected, they began to walk even less.

The same is observed during the war. There is no visible remorse. There are even fewer people in churches than before the war.

In the USSR, people were brought up in such a way that the priest was associated with the funeral. In the 90s there was more freedom, the wedding became fashionable. Many people turn to a priest 3 times in their lives: at baptism, at a wedding and at a funeral. The gospel is studied very little. Very few know their faith. Is it possible to call a Christian a person who does not know his faith? Even if he makes donations.

Many temples were built with donations over the course of 30 years. This is good. It seemed that the revival of Christianity began. But no. Very few baptized people have come to know the Christian faith. Even fewer know how to live with it. Now baptized people from Russia are shelling churches in Ukraine with rockets and shells. They destroy churches. God allows it. It is not pleasing to God that the temples are adorned, and the commandments are not fulfilled.

I think what you are dealing with is a resistance to the Christian faith that is very engrained in Ukrainian society, but that is precisely why I think it may take something drastic like the country's destruction to awaken them from their spiritual apathy. It has been much the same way in nations like Haiti, where a form of Catholicism combined with Voodoo has kept them blind to the truth, and it has taken several decades now of severe hardships to soften their hearts to the truth. It is happening, but it is happening slowly.

As one article put it, "Through the disastrous hurricane seasons of 2004, 2008 and the earthquake of January 2010 the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ has been dramatically spread. It remains to see what the long term impact of these events is for the Gospel."

Trouble is, they apparently still need to go through more hardships, because the country has more recently been hardening its heart to Christianity once again, and attacking Christian pastors and families as the following article talks about:

Yet Again, Haitian Christians Are Confronting Turmoil
How the church persists in the midst of political unrest, violence, and poverty.
MORGAN LEE | JULY 9, 2021

On Wednesday, Haiti’s president Jovenel Moïse was assassinated. His death came after protesters had demanded his departure for months. Moïse had governed the country of 11 million by decree, even as constitutional scholars and legal experts argued that his term in office had already expired.

While the country has long struggled with poverty and unrest, the situation had been exacerbated in recent months as violent gangs had kidnapped children and pastors. Haiti first became a nation after its enslaved population overthrew their French enslavers. But Western nations, scared lest they send the wrong message to the enslaved, launched a trade boycott against the country, greatly impoverishing it for decades. During the 20th century, the US occupied the island from 1915 to 1934. After it left, the country endured several dictatorships and western powers-supported government overthrows.

The country has also not been rebuilt after an earthquake devastated it in 2011.

Я думаю, что вы имеете дело с сопротивлением христианской вере, которое очень укоренилось в украинском обществе, но именно поэтому я думаю, что это может занять некоторое время. резким, как разрушение страны, чтобы пробудить их от их духовной апатии. То же самое было и в таких странах, как Гаити, где форма католицизма в сочетании с вуду лишила их зрения к истине, и потребовалось несколько десятилетий суровых испытаний, чтобы смягчить их сердца к истине. Это происходит, но это происходит медленно.

Как было сказано в одной статье: «Во время разрушительных сезонов ураганов 2004, 2008 годов и землетрясения в январе 2010 года весть Евангелия Иисуса Христа широко распространилась. Евангелие».

Проблема в том, что им, по-видимому, все еще нужно пройти через другие трудности, потому что в последнее время страна снова ожесточила свое сердце для христианства и напала на христианских пасторов и семьи, о чем говорится в следующей статье:

И снова гаитянские христиане сталкиваются с беспорядками
Как церковь сохраняется среди политических волнений, насилия и бедности.
МОРГАН ЛИ | 9 ИЮЛЯ 2021 ГОДА

В среду был убит президент Гаити Жовенель Моис. Его смерть наступила после того, как протестующие несколько месяцев требовали его ухода. Моис управлял страной с населением 11 миллионов человек по указу, хотя ученые-конституционалисты и юристы утверждали, что срок его полномочий уже истек.

Хотя страна долгое время боролась с нищетой и беспорядками, в последние месяцы ситуация усугубилась, поскольку жестокие банды похитили детей и пасторов. Гаити впервые стала нацией после того, как ее порабощенное население свергло своих французских поработителей. Но западные страны, опасаясь, что они пошлют неверный сигнал порабощенным, объявили торговый бойкот против страны, сильно разорив ее на десятилетия. В течение 20-го века США оккупировали остров с 1915 по 1934 год. После их ухода страна пережила несколько диктатур и свержений правительств, поддерживаемых западными державами.

Страна также не была восстановлена после того, как в 2011 году ее опустошило землетрясение.
On this issue, I do not agree with you at all. The Russians are now killing our people. This is victim blaming.
Do you think Ukrainians are more sinful than people in other post-Christian countries? Not at all. Here are the words of Jesus Christ:
«At that very time there were some present who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 He asked them, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans? 3 No, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all perish as they did. 4 Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the other people living in Jerusalem? 5 No, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all perish just as they did.”». (Luke 13:1-9)

Ukraine is not Haiti. Ukraine for Russia is like Great Britain for the USA. Russia is a child, which many times stronger for the mother.

Kyiv gave birth to Moscow and Kyiv is bleeding from the blows of Moscow.

Russia is 16 times larger than Ukraine. For 4 months, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured, millions lost their homes and jobs.

No, no. That's not my point at all. It's actually quite the opposite, but since we seem to be in disagreement I think I will let it go.

God bless, and I wish you the very best.

Greetings,
I have a question (not from your post #45)..
---
How much impact (the war) on 'Protestants' in Ukraine?
- It is known...many people (65%?) are Eastern Orthodox.
- Protestants..less than 3%?
---
Any different.. impact on Protestants?
- Before the war & during the war?
---
*Maybe you already addressed the issue..on this thread.
- I did not have time to read all posts..

Hallo, have a Good day. I have not familiar Protestants now. But I think that the war affects they, as all other people in Ukraine as well: some have become refugees, some have been mobilized into the army, some have lost their homes or jobs. Many people have broken the usual ties with their groups. People found themselves among new people with whom they had not known before. Regardless of faith and views. United by war.
