(Part II/IV) This book offers a detailed explanation of the coming apocalypse, the reign of antichrist, and the trials the Faithful will be called to endure before the Son of Man comes again in His glory. Written by Archimandrite Panteleimon in 1978 and translated into English in 1992, this text is not aimed at satisfying intellectual curiosities or inducing panic in our hearts, but in aiding us in the salvation of our souls. Archimandrite Panteleimon gathers words from Holy Scripture and the Holy Fathers and offers a clear and sober understanding of what God has graciously revealed to us. Let us understand the reasons behind the coming worldwide deception, of which we already see so much, that we may be able to stand firm and be ready to witness before our all-merciful Savior. As our Lord said, “Take heed that no one deceives you“ (Matthew 24:4).

Timely.
Thanks …God Bless
Great work! I too have been inspired and am reading the works of the Church Fathers on my YouTube channel. God Bless brother!
Remember to pray and fast, brothers. I can't help but think our future is going to get increasingly dark, as the years progress. May the Lord grant us the strength to overcome the coming trials.
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.(Psalm 146)
Thank you for this brother. I found it helpful. The only thing that was problematic is his speaking of an eternal separation from God. I understood our belief (as opposed to the western notion) to be eternal suffering (not separation, since God is everywhere) from the Light, Love, Life that is God, which is experienced as burning by those who rejected that Love even unto the end, while God is seen, known & experienced as Light, Love, Life by those who lived in Him & in whom He lived, while here. Until our death, there is hope of repentance/returning/turning back toward Him & also the possibility of being lost. Thus the need to be vigilant until the end. Until the 2nd Coming, the Church prays for the salvation of all, knowing not all will be saved, due to God's respect for the freewill He gave all, which He honors & will honor.
Very good messages, very insightful! A while back, I was getting harsh warnings within myself, about how radical the times of lawlessness have become.. sadly, I don’t know why, but I feel as though I lost most of those insights. So again, this video is very helpful. I think I’ve been slipping into low-awareness of the times because I do not have the same “oomph” or urge to take action and repent. These times really are like a “Spiritual Armageddon,” but I struggle to decern the times to fully embed the reality of it within myself. I hope God will bless and enlighten you in this series content!! I really do hope!!!
Very interesting and very appropriate for these times of lawlessness. Thanks for sharing

1:45 is the crux.
Amen. Our world is no doubt Satan's kingdom. Mankind is governed by evil in this age.
