BLOG Russia = The Third Rome

[Spirit Of Truth]

This might seem a tad nutty, but I try to write the message God impresses upon my heart to deliver.

From my blog:

This weekend Ted Kennedy's funeral took place ending an important chapter in American history. Appropriately, tropical storm Danny was absorbed into a weather front and rained down over the funeral procession in Boston. The name "Daniel" means "God is my judge". Truly, as has been revealed to me, America is facing God's judgment.

Some 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ made the following reply when quizzed about God's most important Law:

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (Matthew 22:35-39)

Has America obeyed this Law?

At the end of My Thesis, I write the following:

The bottom line is that 'rational market theory', which has effectively become faith in the 'invisible hand' of Mammon, is leading to catastrophic failure.

"No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon." (Matthew 6:24)

Man has placed his faith in the wrong god and, consequently, is facing a total upset of his irrational beliefs and expectations.

What form will God's judgment take? What will precipitate the crash of Western Civilization the cycles of history indicate may be imminent?

This should be obvious, but, because the world is under the spell of the Antichrist's "strong delusion" as foretold by Paul, apparently only the select can see the truth.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. (II Thessalonians 2:8-12)

Russia deems itself to be the Third Rome. Communism was done away with by Moscow's ruling elite to replace one false ideological front with another: Christianity.

That this is the case can easily be discerned by examining Russia's state emblem as adopted in 1992, right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Here's an image of the central Coat of Arms:

Now here is the Byzantine Empire emblem that appears above the front entrance of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople which signifies the Second Rome:

The main difference is the central image in the Russian state emblem of St. George on a white horse slaying the satanic serpent....which, in a modern context, represents Russia slaying the satanic evil of the West.

There are, of course, rather dire implications for the world, and Western Civilization in particular, if, indeed, Russia fancies itself a Third Rome. First off, bear in mind that the concept of the "Third Rome" is parallel to the "Third Reich" of Nazi, Germany:

The name Third Reich (Drittes Reich, "Third Reich") refers to the state as the successor to the Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages and the German Empire of 1871–1918. (Wikipedia)

Thus, the current mentality of the Kremlin is on par with that of Hitler's Third Reich. What's worse, Russia's identification with being a Third Rome means that the leader is upheld not just as a tsar but, more so, as Tsar of Tsars, i.e., the incarnation of Christ. In this sense, the utopian social goal of Communism is displaced by a utopian totalitarian goal of Russia's version of the kingdom of god. Also, since Jews are deemed to be responsible for the murder of Jesus, they are therefore the primary target of divine Russian retribution....thus making "Zionism", purportedly advanced by Israel and America, primary strategic targets of Moscow's thermonuclear machinations.

Of course, the truth of the matter is that Constantine I hijacked the message of Christ for personal deification in order to cement control over his empire. This is no different than what the modern-day ruling elite of Russia are up to.

(Note: Edited from the original to be more acceptable.)

Russia

http://www.ianpaisley.org/article.asp?ArtKey=bloc


But what of the northern end of the historic Orthodox bloc ‑ Russia and the Volga river? The bitter hostility between the Russian Orthodox church and the Vatican continues relentlessly. But, planning for centuries and millennia, Rome has made an apparently insignificant but in fact remarkable inroad into the Russian Orthodox carapace.

Our Lady of the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/ These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

REVOLUTION IN ROME
"My child, you speculate much about the coming Warning. I have asked you many times not to speculate on dates, but I give you one indication that the time is ripe. When you see, when you hear, when you feel the revolution in Rome, when you see the Holy Father fleeing, seeking a refuge in another land, know that the time is ripe. But beg and plead that your good Pontiff does not leave Rome, for he will allow the man of dark secrets* to capture his throne." - Jesus, September 14, 1976 *For more information, see Directive #155 - Antipope of History

BLOODBATH
"Rome shall soon have a bloodbath; Rome shall suffer in revolution. And why, My children, why must this chastisement come upon the Eternal City? Because they have turned from their God! Too few do penance and atonement! Prayer has been discarded for all materialism and worldly knowledge. Men shall be eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the fires sweep them away!" - Our Lady of the Roses, June 16, 1977

COMMUNIST PUPPET
"Listen, My child, and repeat after Me: the Brown Bear of communism, of red orientation, will seek to devour the Holy Father, your Vicar the Pope, by assassination, and place on the Seat of Peter a communist puppet known by all as the White Bear. My child and My children of the world, disaster lies ahead in Rome if this happens." - Jesus, June 18, 1991

GREAT REVOLUTION
"There will be a great revolution in Rome, in Italy, and many countries in Europe, My child, because the man of sin is preparing the way. The forces of communism are gaining and will enter upon the Seat of Peter." - Our Lady of the Roses, March 25, 1978

ROME SHALL SUFFER
"Rome shall soon have a bloodbath; Rome shall suffer in revolution. And why, My children, why must this chastisement come upon the Eternal City? Because they have turned from their God! Too few do penance and atonement! Prayer has been discarded for all materialism and worldly knowledge. Men shall be eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the fires sweep them away!" - Our Lady of the Roses, June 16, 1977

FORCES OF EVIL
"In the Eternal City of Rome, the forces of evil have gathered. Secretly in secret societies, and openly by brazen mankind shall come forth revolution." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 18, 1977

ITALY
Veronica - Now Our Lady is pointing upward with Her right hand, and She's pointing to the left side of the sky, and I see that "W 3" again. "W 3" always means war or revolution. And I see now a very large boot, and the boot means Italy. - May 18, 1977

RUSSIA
"Russia has great plans for the capture of Rome. I beg you as your Mother to listen now while there is time. Bishops, cardinals in Rome, a plan is set afoot against you." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1978

PRAY FOR THE POPE
"Lucifer is in Rome and plans to destroy the papacy. My children, pray for your new Pope. He must be given the strength even unto the point of martyrdom, if necessary. He must not allow communism to control Rome." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1978

GREAT TRIAL
"Rome will undergo a great trial with revolution and bloodshed. Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer. Sin will accelerate until the world shall be steeped in bloodbaths and insanity." - Jesus, June 4, 1977

Excellent. Thanks for that.

While the sumptuous ritual was clearly an emotional and pious event, the reunification has political resonance as well because the Russian Orthodox Church is increasingly a symbol and projection of Russian nationalism. Indeed, rather than first give thanks to God in his speech, the head of the ROC, Patriarch Alexy, paid homage to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Patriarch emphasized that the reunification could happen only because the ROCOR saw in Putin "a genuine Russian Orthodox human being." Putin responded in his speech that the reunification was a major event for the entire nation.

Nationalism, based on the Orthodox faith, has been emerging as the Putin regime's major ideological resource. Thursday's rite sealed the four-year long effort by Putin, beginning in September 2003, to have the Moscow Patriarchate take over its rival American-based cousin and launch a new globalized Church as his state's main ideological arm and a vital foreign policy instrument. In February press conference, Putin equated Russia's "traditional confessions" to its nuclear shield, both, he said, being "components that strengthen Russian statehood and create necessary preconditions for internal and external security of the country." Professor Sergei Filatov, a top authority on Russian religious affairs notes that "traditional confessions" is the state's shorthand for the Russian Orthodox Church.

From outward appearances it would seem that the old Soviet Union has returned. A thing crucified, dead and buried has been resurrected. Four weeks after Vladimir Putin’s re-election, a procession led by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church arrived at the Church of Christ the Redeemer in Moscow. In keeping with ancient tradition the doors of the church were shut, symbolizing the sealed cave where Christ’s body was placed following crucifixion. “After midnight,” noted Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, “the Orthodox faithful taking part in the procession await the opening of the church doors. The patriarch stands on the steps at their head and is the first to enter the empty temple where the Resurrection of Christ has already occurred.” In due course the Patriarch offered up a prayer, the doors of the Church of Christ the Redeemer were opened and out stepped President Vladimir Putin. If any Christians were present for this ceremony they offered no protest to this blatant sacrilege. The woman who reported this event for the benefit of Western readers has since been assassinated. The KGB defector who was investigating the circumstances of her death has been poisoned (i.e., Litvinenko).

That coat of arms derivation from the Byzantine one, and a proclamation Russia is the Third Rome, has to have some major fulfillment significance. Thank you.

Each one has to take all this information to the Lord for discernment, just like the Babylon questions and many others. Even if someone had all the answers, they couldn't be conveyed in a way they could be properly understood, to others. Only He, the Holy Spirit of Truth, can do that. It's just that we don't seek Him in our unbelief - we want an answer man.

SOT---Just going from memory here, but is this connected to stories regarding Putin wishing to establish himself as Czar of Russia?

Putin is in position to make what ever move he wants to. He has the support of most of the people. Compare him to Obama and you can see his strength.

[dragonslayer2001]

so

it rained during teddie's funeral, and we some how make a fantastic leap to The Russian Orthodox Religion?


There are deeper threats much closer to home to the west:



A Dark Vision


Just how bad did Martin (Father Malichi Martin) judge things to be? Extremely so:

"Suddenly it became unarguable that now during this papacy, the Roman Catholic organization carried a permanent presence of clerics who worshipped Satan and liked it; of bishops and priests who sodomized boys and each other; of nuns who performed the “Black Rites” of Wicca, and who lived in lesbian relationships... every day, including Sundays and Holy Days, acts of heresy and blasphemy and outrage and indifference were committed and permitted at holy Altars by men who had been called to be priests.



Sacrilegious actions and rites were not only performed on Christ’s Altars, but had the connivance or at least the tacit permission of certain Cardinals, archbishops, and bishops... In total number they were a minority—anything from one to ten percent of Church personnel. But of that minority, many occupied astoundingly high positions or rank.... The facts that brought the Pope to a new level of suffering were mainly two: The systematic organizational links—the network, in other words that had been established between certain clerical homosexual groups and Satanist covens. And the inordinate power and influence of that network."

(pp. 492-3)


http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/profecias/esp_profecia10.htm



Father Malichi Martin said that Satanism had taken root at the HIGHEST levels of the Vatican. He was a confidant of Popes, and had read the Third Secret of Fatima.

He never warned about the Russian Church, but he had several and very severe warnings about his own Church.
