Orthodox Christians we must be aware and watcful internally first to our soul to cleanse from passions and be faithful to Christ and also the externals. Externally includes the activities and actions some of these heretical hierarchs are doing against Christ and Truth. Know where you are! Vigilant and soberness is necessary. 🕊🙏🏼☦️ May God have mercy on us!!!

I think this explains why some people fell into the covidism delusion and others didn’t

[@michaelfisher7170]

turns out taking a vaccine isn't "the mark of the beast". turns out superstition isn't a wise life guide.

[@invincibincing]

God bless your channel, Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners, Amen. ❤

[@stylist62]

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Those 1st century Christians who did not have the mark of the beast were those living in Jerusalem could not buy and sell. The apostle Paul asked for donations from the corinthians which they were happy to give for there christian brothers

[@techdivaful]

How could they take up offerings if no Christians could buy or sell?

[@kellyblakeborough3371]

​@@techdivafuldonations when Paul went back to Jerusalem

[@techdivaful]

@kellyblakeborough3371 if Christians couldn't buy or sell, who was giving donations?

[@kellyblakeborough3371]

Donations were sent to Jerusalem . As he was in Asia Minor. The buying and selling had to do with the account of being in Babylon the great before she fell in 70 AD whom was Jerusalem ( the Jewish religious system )

[@techdivaful]

@@kellyblakeborough3371 i believe you are stretching it.

There are two continents and a major religion which were not yet known at the time of the writing. Edit: four continents! N and S America, Australia, Antarctica.

It's Nero Caesar. That's it. Those who received the Apocalypse in the 60s when St. John was yet alive understood it, in context.

Anyone wanting to read Revelations should do so with either the commentaries of Elder Anastasios Militanios or other fathers who have commented on it. Fasting is also crucial to nepsis. Thank you for the talk Father Peter!

We MUST stay close to our Saints and our Spiritual Father. Lord have mercy on us!❤ Kyriaki & Michael

St Ireneaus also believed in a 1000 year earthly reign which was refuted by a council called by St. Dionysius of Alexandria. St. Ignatius believed the end was to come in their time as he warned the church to prepare as it was to come in their time. 1john tells us that the last antichrist was was in their time: 1John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the[d] Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. (Last hour being 1900 years ago). St. Jerome translated 666 to 616 when translating the texts into Latin as the interpretation of the mark of the beast was a first century Roman Caesar. I believe partial preterism is the more logical interpretation, these futurists interpretations are becoming more and more like the dispensationalist interpretation being put forth into the western congregations by our jwsh mason friends.

[@solitaryone1536]

The Christianity of the Intellect is now enough to become a Priest. This intellectual agreement with the teachings of Christ, is what allows them to live Contrary to the teachings of Jesus. Indeed they know all the words and numbers, but the Spirit behind these things illudes them, thus you can find them with grand titles, and living in palaces and mansions, and whilst their lips still drip from the feast, they shall teach the things of Jesus, though their hearts are a million miles away from Him. You have come full circle. Laws, Rules, Traditions, Rituals, fancy dress and Grand titles, Truly, there will be Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth. You do to Our Lord, as the Jews did to Our Father. And when you pass from here in the Great Tribulation to come, you shall appear in your finery in the image you most loved about yourselves, in the Mirror, and Jesus will stand before you in Ragged Cloak and Worn Sandals and ask you, what have you to do with Me?

You've cut out most of the world and are not being like the world lo Because the world is just repeati g gilgamesh in various ways Even the epics of homer and matrix... the abyss of genesis What it takes to lose yourself in that Mirror on the wall to be god
