An Attempt at Unfolding the Prophecies of the Apocalypse. Evangelism of Jesus Christ. 1900, St. Petersburg, Russia ------- Translated from Russian Annotation I present to the attention of the pious readers [my] reflections on the beginning and the end of the world in the mysterious signs. [of] the Holy Scripture and the nature. These reflections also refer to the prophetic revelations of St. Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian. Explaining the Apocalypse can be timely just now, when false propaganda has finally perverted the whole meaning of the Apocalypse, making it into an instrument of blind apostates from the one [single], holy, catholic, [and] apostolic Church. "Such is the mercy of Christ to the [spiritually] blind, but who do not separate from the holy Church of Christ, which accepts [on herself] the petition for human ignorance before the Lord ..." "... at first Samaria was captured and plundered, and after 136 years Jerusalem was subjected to the same fate. ... at first the Western Church lost a whole third of its children through the Reformation, and 100 years later the same share befell the Eastern Church – through schism." "The rider on a horse (apostasy) ... begins to dominate the world through the medium of false [lying] press and negative literature..." To All the Weak, the Feeble, and the Little Ones (like me) [С нами Бог] With love dedicated to M., and to M. Know that: /you better come to realize that:/ - You do what your father does - all the worthy things he does - you do, too! - You need only remember him with GRATITUDE every night and every crisis (at least) - and all his sweetness, strength, and riches - are yours (for the asking). [I hear some of you saying they know not their father! - They may well not know him - but their heart does! So you, too: ] You just listen: - GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ ... You hear out (again and again): - GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ ... And you experience: - GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ ... At first it seems [as if] you were giving thanks - No! The second or the third time around you already know Who the Giver of all is - all you have to do is attune your heart, and let it FEEL the GRATITUDE /БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ/ - and you experience the downpour of all mercies, goods (kindness), and all the merits of the Giver of all (ВСЕПОДАТЕЛЯ Христос) Christ - Who gives everything - TO ALL - hears everything and first responds to GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ... And – yes! – you do what your Father does! With heart-felt GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ... what used to be nothing more but mimicking or 'play' is all too real! You are still weak, feeble and little but you really do what your Father does! Слава Богу за все! С нами Бог! Glory be to God for everything! The Lord is with us!
