A
change seems to be coming for the world.
Dmitry Lapa writes,

Over
the past 150 years, the relics of a number of early English saints have either
been miraculously rediscovered or returned to England from other countries. There
are numerous cases of miracles through these saints’ prayers and apparitions of
them to people. Thus, St. Botolph of Iken more than once rescued travelers from
imminent death in a visible way; the residents of the tiny town
Dorchester-on-Thames near Oxford, where relics of the Apostle of Wessex St.
Birinus are kept in the abbey church, have seen him at night walking along the
streets as if guarding his flock; likewise, residents of Beverley near York
have seen the holy Hierarch and Wonderworker John of Beverley walking in the
town. He is a great intercessor for his people who saved the place from
destruction many times; the Venerable Bede has appeared to people (including
one Orthodox bishop) near his shrine at Durham Cathedral; miracles, including a
vision of an angel, have occurred in the Church of St. Mary in Lastingham where
the relics of St. Cedd of Essex rest. And these are only some cases of
miracles. Also, in 2013, the possible relics of the Holy and Righteous King
Alfred the Great were uncovered in the church
of St. Bartholomew in Winchester. These remains are now being
examined by scientists. The Lord is speaking to us through His faithful
servants in our difficult and unstable times, when many people and even entire
nations urgently need to remember and return to the life and merits of their
pious, Orthodox forebears.

Father
Andrew Phillips may have put his finger on the cause of this outpouring of
grace:
As
for the lion whom you saw rousing up out of the forest and roaring and speaking
to the eagle and reproving him for his unrighteousness and all his words that
you have heard, this is the Anointed One, Whom the Most High has kept until the
end of the days against them and their impieties…He will denounce them for
their ungodliness and their wickedness and will cast up before them their
contemptuous dealings…He will deliver in mercy the remnant of My people, those who
have been preserved within My borders, and He will make them joyful until the
end comes, the Day of Judgement…
(3
Esdras 12, 31-32 and 34 – the last book of the Russian Orthodox Old Testament;
in the Protestant RSV this appears as 2 Esdras)
. . .
Today
is the time of St John the Baptist. We are being called on to prepare the way
for the enthronement of the new Emperor of the Christian Empire of Rus. He will
be, by the grace and anointing of the Church, the only protector of Christians
from those who are preparing the coming of Antichrist on Zion,
even arranging in Paris
the largest gathering of world leaders in history. Our destiny is to fight in
the mystical battle against spiritual impurity and slander.
Last
week I prayed in Odessa
as a pilgrim at the grave of the humble Elder Jonah (+ 2012). Are his
prophecies regarding the Ukraine
and all Rus in 2016 to be realized? All depends on our repentance. All the
fragments of Holy Rus, ‘the footstool of the Kingdom of Heaven’,
in the words of St John of Kronstadt, are to be guarded, propagated and
gathered together before the end. All Orthodox of all nationalities who know
what is prophesied in the holy book of Esdras (3 Esdras 12, 30-34 and 3 Esdras
15, 8-63), the enthronement of the last Christian Emperor before the end, are
to repent and show the way.

And
what shall we do in the South? Are we so
sunk down in the mire of imported Fundamentalism and Dispensationalism that we
will not run to Russia’s
aid (and thus to our own and all the world’s as well)? Has our worship of ‘American Exceptionalism’,
of the idols of American constitutionalism and consumerism, become so ingrained
that we would ræther leave Orthodox Christian Russia to the mercy of the
devil-worshipping, New World Order-promoting, Corporatacracy (which now
controls so many of the American Empire’s institutions and has lusted for the
murder Holy Russia for more than a hundred years)? Forbid it, Almighty God!
Come
to your senses, Southrons. Embrace the
True Faith of your forebears, and pray for and help in every way you can your
friends in Russia.
