About the prophet and the fate of prophecy
This saint lived and asceticised on Athos in the 16th century in a secluded cave above the sea. After his death, at his request, the disciple Theophanes was buried in a cave so that the body was hidden from veneration. But in the eyes of God, this could not be avoided: soon a fragrant ointment began to flow from his body and poured out into the sea. People began to come and swim in boats and collect this myrrh. Soon his disciple and other monks began to grumble at the influx of pilgrims and tourists, and the world ceased.
Before leaving after meetings in the forest, St. The Nile commanded Theophanes to write down all his words in a book for the edification of many; and added that he chose him not as the best, but as the most useless vessel, so that people would not think: from good, naturally good came about.
Theophan, being illiterate himself, resorted to the help of Fr. Gerasim, who could write. Within a year they wrote down everything that was commanded and handed it over to the Athonite library. But the monastic authorities recognized the book as unhelpful for the abundance of denunciations of monasticism and kept it hidden for almost a hundred years. Only at the beginning of the 20th century, a Russian monk, delving into the book depository, accidentally came across a manuscript, read it and was amazed. He barely persuaded to publish at least in abbreviated form for Russian monasticism a limited number of copies. In 1912, this four-hundred-page book was published. Below are some of the places predicted in the book.
Prophecy of the accession of the Antichrist
The love of money is the forerunner of the Antichrist … All that economically and providentially prepared and prepares people for faith and following the Lord is, was and will be the truth. On the contrary, everything that prepares people to reject the law of God and their Savior is a lie, this lie prepares the coming of the Antichrist and his acceptance by the human race …
As the Forerunner preached the baptism of the Truth and thereby turned people on the path of salvation, so (on the contrary) multi-care will darken a person's feelings in order to make a person insensible to his salvation, so that he cannot feel salvation from a multitude of carnal concerns (an interesting warning. We read: Too busy - approx. Impcoms). People will feel neither the desire for an eternal future life, nor the fear of eternal condemnation … She, there will be salvation and will not be removed from the world, the opportunity to be saved and those who are saved will remain until the end of the world. She, and then there will be salvation, but for whom will it be? For those who will not submit to the works of the anti-type (the forerunner of the Antichrist) …

From the unclean prodigal (Roman Catholic Church - approx. Impcoms) Antichrist will be born. In this virgin debauchery copulates, she will be the treasury of adultery. Every evil in the world, every filth, every lawlessness will be embodied in it. In what she conceived from a secret fornication, they copulate together in the womb of impurity and with the impoverishment of the world will be revived … From a secret unnatural fornication, a fruit will be conceived, which will be a repository of all evil …
This fruit will be born when the world becomes impoverished with virtues … But what kind of impoverishment will befall the world?..
First, it impoverishes the world with love, unanimity, and chastity.
Secondly, every village and city impoverishes from its subordination, the leading persons will move away from the city, village and district, so that there will be no dominant person either in the city, or in the village, or in the district.
Likewise, the Church is almost impoverished because of the headship of the spiritual authorities … After this impoverishment, love will grow cold in many, the one who restrains from the environment will be taken away, and the unclean will be born from the womb of impurity.
Then this unclean birth will produce signs and wonders with demonic dreams. The world will imagine that this Antichrist is meek and lowly in heart, but in fact he will be like a fox, like a wolf. Confusion of people will be his food. When people turn (perish), then the Antichrist will be alive.
The confusion of people will be this: condemnation, envy, rancor, hatred, enmity, covetousness, courage, forgetfulness of faith, adultery, boasting of fornication. This evil will be the food of the Antichrist. In contrast to how Christ's will was brilliantly fulfilled by the will of His Father, so will the will of the Antichrist be fulfilled by the will of his father, the devil. This will feed the Antichrist.
And the Antichrist will become the head over the cities, over the villages and over the districts of the villages, after there is no head in the villages, cities and rural districts. Then he will seize power over the world, become the ruler of the world, and begin to rule over the feeling of man as well. People will believe what he says, because he will act as a one-man and autocrat to destroy salvation. People, who have already become the vessels of the devil, will have extreme confidence in the Antichrist, make him a world monarch and autocrat, since he will be an instrument of the devil in his last attempt to destroy Christianity from the face of the earth. Being in perdition, people will think that he is Christ the Savior and that he will make their salvation. Then the Gospel of the Church will be neglected.
Later, when destruction brings a great calamity into the world, then, during these calamities, terrible signs will occur. A terrible famine will come, and the world will be attacked by a great greed (insatiability). Compared to how much a person eats at the present time, then he will eat seven times more and not be full. The great disaster will come everywhere. Then the covetous will open their covetous granaries (wealth will be abolished, property will be equalized on the basis of the equality of all). Then the gold will depreciate like manure on the road.
And then, during that foretold calamity, the Antichrist will begin to seal people with his seal, allegedly in order to save them from the calamity with this sign (for only those who have a seal, according to Apocalypse 13, 17, will sell bread). Many will die on the roads. People will become like birds of prey attacking carrion and devour the bodies of the dead. But what kind of people will devour the bodies of the dead? Those that are sealed by the seal of the Antichrist. Christians, although they will not be given or sold bread for lack of a seal on themselves, will not eat corpses. Those captured, despite the availability of bread for them, will begin to devour the dead. For when a person is sealed with a seal, his heart will become even more insensitive, being unable to endure hunger, people will grab the corpses, and wherever they sit, sitting on the side of the road, devour them.
On the seal the following will be written: "I am yours" - "Yes, you are mine." - "I go by will, and not by force." - "And I accept you at your will, and not by force." These four sayings, or inscriptions, will be depicted in the middle of that accursed seal.
Oh, unhappy is he who is imprinted with this seal! This cursed seal will bring great calamity to the world. The world will then be so oppressed that people will move from place to place. The natives, seeing the newcomers, will say: “O unfortunate people! How did you decide to leave your own, so blessed, places and come to this accursed place, to us, who have no human feeling left ?! So they will say at every place where people will move …
Then God, seeing the confusion of people, from which they are in misery, moving from their place, will command the sea to accept the previously characteristic ardor, which it previously had, so that people would not cross over to move from place to place. And when the Antichrist sits on his throne, then the sea will boil like water boils in a cauldron. When water boils in a boiler for a long time, does it evaporate with steam? So it will be with the sea. Boiling, it will evaporate and disappear like smoke from the face of the earth. Plants dry up on the ground. Oak trees and all cedars, from the sea heat everything will dry up, water veins will dry up, animals, birds and reptiles will all die.
The day will rotate as an hour, a week as a day, a month as a week, and a year as a month. For human cunning has done that the elements have become tense, they began to hurry and tense up even more, so that the number proclaimed by God for the eighth century ends as soon as possible.
When the accursed glory sees Enoch and Elijah preaching and telling people not to accept the seal of the Antichrist, he will command them to be seized. The prophets will persuade people not to accept the seal of the Antichrist. They will say that whoever shows patience and is not sealed with the seal of the Antichrist will be saved, and God will certainly accept him to paradise, for the sake of the fact that he did not accept the seal. And let everyone be marked with an honest cross, creating a sign for every hour, for the seal of the cross frees a person from hellish torment; the seal of the Antichrist brings a person into hellish torment. If you crave and demand food, be patient for a short time, and God, seeing your patience, will send you help from above; you will be revived (literally: live up to) with the help of God the Most High. If you do not have patience, you will be sealed with the seal of this unclean king, then later you will repent of this.
People will say to Enoch and Elijah: "Why are those who received the seal grateful to the Antichrist?" Then Enoch and Elijah will say, “They are grateful, but who is grateful (who thanks them with their lips)? It is not people who give thanks, but the press itself only thanks, malice, having dominated people, expresses joy and joy with their lips, for it managed to destroy these people, as it happens with villains who triumph and rejoice over a perfect atrocity. And what is their gratitude? Their gratitude signifies that Satan has sat down in them, imagined in the feeling of a person, and the person is not aware of what is happening to him. He who is sealed with the seal of the Antichrist becomes a demon; although he claims that he supposedly does not feel either greed or thirst, he craves and thirsts even more, and not only more, but seven times more against you.
Suffer only a short time. Do you not see that the one who accepts the seal of Antichrist will not live, he is dead in spirit and eternal torment awaits him? Do you really want to perish with the seal in eternal torment, so that you can be there with those who are sealed by it, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth? And many other admonitions will be preached to the people by Enoch and Elijah.
The Antichrist will hear that two people are preaching, calling him a flatterer, a sorcerer, a deceiver and an insidious devil. Hearing this, he becomes angry, orders them to seize them, bring them to him, and with flattering words asks them: "What kind of lost sheep are you, for you are not sealed by the royal seal?" Then Enoch and Elijah will say: “Flatterer and deceiver! Demon! Through your fault, so many souls died in hell! Cursed is your seal together with your glory! This cursed seal of yours and your profane glory have brought the world down to destruction, your destruction has brought the world to this state, the world has died and the end has come to it …”.
The Antichrist will hear such words from Enoch and Elijah and will say to them: "How dare you speak like that before me, the autocrat and the king?" And Elijah will answer: "We despise your kingdom, but we curse your glory, together with your seal."
Then the Antichrist will become angry, hearing such contemptuous answers, will become like a mad dog and will kill them with his own hands.
After the murder of Enoch and Elijah, the Antichrist will release his most omnipresent children, give vent to the evil spirits, which he had hitherto restrained.
These children, or spirits of evil, are: adultery, fornication, sodomy, murder, theft, theft, untruth, selling and buying people, buying boys and girls to wander with them, like dogs in the streets.
And the Antichrist will command the spirits of evil, obedient to him, to bring people to the point where people do ten times more evil than before. The omnipresent children will fulfill this perilous command and strive to destroy human nature with a variety of iniquities. From increased tension and extreme energy of his most omnipresent children, human nature in people will perish sensually and mentally …
By their deeds of guile, these people will surpass the demons and will be one spirit with the demons.
The Antichrist will see that human nature has become craftier and more vain than his worst children, he will greatly rejoice that evil in humanity has multiplied, natural human properties have been lost, and people have become more crafty than demons …
And now, upon the Antichrist, rejoicing at the sight of human evil, he will suddenly find from above a "two-edged sword" with which he will be smitten, and his unclean spirit will be expelled from his abominable body. With the death of the Antichrist, there will be an end to murder in people. Cain laid the foundation for the murder, the anti-type (Antichrist) will make the end, it will end there.
