The Athonite Elder Paisios told that a world war was coming - the one that is commonly called Armageddon in the scriptures. According to the seer, humanity is on the verge of the approaching end of the world. As an example, the elder cites lines from the prophetic book of John the Theologian "Revelation", on the pages of which one can find events that have already happened. The elder predicted the events that are now taking place in the Middle East.
“The East will become the arena of bloody wars, in which the Russians will take part,” the Athonite elder prophesied.
As Paisiy says, soon one third of Turkey should become Christian, the other third will simply perish, and the remaining people will be forced to migrate to Mesopotamia.
The end of the world will happen through China, the Athonite elder is sure. Referring to the words of "Revelation", the cause of the apocalypse will be the actions of the Chinese army, which number two hundred million soldiers, which is the exact number indicated in the prophecy. According to the elder, people will see a huge explosion, which will be perceived by everyone as a miracle of God.
“And life will be completely different on earth, but not for very long,” says the elder.
Russia, according to his forecasts, will "grow" and become a "beacon in the darkness" for other peoples.
