Elder Ephraim of Arizona , in this video, recounts what a holy hierarchic on Mount Athos told him about the End Times.

Elder Ephraim of Arizona (or Philotheou) was a spiritual child of Saint Joseph the Hesychast, who recently passed away to the Lord. Elder Ephraim spent 32 years on Mount Athos as a monk, a part of which he served as abbot at the Monastery of Philotheou. In 1979, Elder Ephraim came to America for an operation and through divine inspiration he was told to remain and build 17 Orthodox monasteries. His wisdom and spiritual experience helped thousands of people, both monks and pilgrims, throughout the years, and his words continue to inspire countless Orthodox Christians. Elder Ephraim pray for us!

Hasn't this abundance already occurred? Or is it yet a future in which all war and conflict known to man since time immemorial, will be made obsolete (turning spears into plow shares etc?)
Or perhaps the abundance of this new time is contemporaneous, already reflecting here by the abundance created during the Cold War era. That seems a more logical explanation to the actual, factual significance of the prophecies entailed.
Glory be to God!! Long live St. John the Sleeper King!! What a great period of joy on the earth for those who are blessed to live in those times!
When you guys ctrl+c and ctrl+v the description from other videos, some links (like Patreon and Instagram) do not work properly. (Just a tip :D)
I may have missed it but is Elder Ephraim saying this king will be a king over all the earth, or just a king for the greek peoples? Thank you for this
A great king to rule all over humanity? I have only heard this prophecy interpreted as a great king that returns to assist Greece to return to its Orthodox roots and away from secularism. I have never heard it interpreted this way that there will be some last golden age of humanity. Forgive me, as I am not a doubter of prophecy or of great saints, but this interpretation seems to me to be very close to a sort of Antichrist-like rule, a man who comes from nowhere and solves all the world's problems.
God bless the Honourable Elder Ephraim; Only Holy Jesus Christ is the trueeeeee Messiah, foreverrrrrrrrrr and God bless, alwayssssss and muchhhhhh loveeeeee and respectttttt, alwayssssss, for the sake of the Holy Jesus Christ and the Holy Mother Mary, alwayssssss, Ameen❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💒💒💒💒💒💒💖💖💖💖💖💖💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Eschatological prophecy is a wondrous diversion from focusing on our own spiritual condition and it's improvement during the upcoming Great Lent.
What does Elder Ephraim have to say about the current apostasy of our clergy?
Part of me is terrified and the other part is extraordinarily hopeful. Often times when the enemies of God make bold proclamations against Him, He allows these to be implemented and ends up overturning them to His Glory.
"Jesus Christ, King of the Jews" : This was intended for mockery and a sign of defeat, however unbeknownst to His accusers, they were actually displaying His majesty and authority over Death.
"Great Reset" : Perhaps the globalists will begin laying down the final stages of Babel only to have Saint John Vatatzis resurrect and take the reigns for much of the world. Thus, the "Great Reset" is baptized. The subverters will be subverted. The Sleeper Saint will usher in the return of everything Holy that we've lost, only this time we'll have the advancements of modern technology and humanistic science brought under the fold of a godly society.
This prophecy doesn’t make any sense
Beware any world ruler, who will take the place of God in people's hearts before Christ. The word Antichrist means instead of Christ, and he will present himself as the savior of the entire world before turning dark in the final few years of world history. Many have been deceived, including many Orthodox Christians.
Sleeper Saint= forerunner of Antichrist
2:50 "Because the lips of the Hierarch and priest do not lie"… I hope that isn't a general truth claim, because that aint true of today's hierarchy, thats for sure.
5:45 This is incoherent with Scripture:
Matthew 24:29-30
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
The time of faith is when Enoch and Elijah spread the Gospel to the world (read Rev 11). Furthermore, this legend of the marble king has its origins in the Golden Legend. This is not a canon text of the Orthodox Church, it was written by an italian papist hierarch and has been edited multiple times. Why would the elder believe this hierarch spreading this myth?
5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
I don't understand the language in the video, but your description of the prophecy is Interesting considering, many Catholic mystics and apparitions prophecy to similar events, such as the coming of a WWIII. The Triumph of the Great Monarch and Angelic pope in the aftermath. Before the coming of the anti-Christ.
NESARA or GESARA currency reset is backed in gold, and after the war people will have cutlery made out of gold? Also, considering God judges right after this, it's probable that it is or is an important component of the mark.
Remember the Jews missed their saviour because they were looking for the wrong one. Getting a chip forced into your hand probably isn't the mark because you need to accept it with your free will. The devil mimics God, so I don't think the mark or the Antichrist would be so obvious. And if it is, we'll be ready, but we should prepare for other possible scenarios just in case.

I believe the times of great wealth before Antichrist are a way of comforting those who will not inharit the Kingdom of heavens , also a way of great temptation to whom wants to be with Christ because you can't have both, or the way of the cross or the comfort of wealth here on earth. Even if the faith will be not persecuted there will be a lot of christians by name (in the time of emperor Constantine many have passed to christianity because of the emperor , was a mode to have the emperor's faith) the end says it clear , will follow a great apostasy ( from this i conclude that the wealth will do a lot of harm to many ) . For sure in those times the sins will not disapear just that the faith will somehow grow till the edges of the world, maybe christianity will be the single faith on earth , but not all will be christians by life many will be just by name and this ends up in apostasy . Nothing is new under the sun , those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are condamned to repeat them. Sorry for my english it's not my native language and please forgive me i`m sinner and i do mistakes, if i did correct me and also correct me if my judgement is wrong.
Let's be careful when dreaming of kingdoms and rules in this world, so that we don't partake of the spirit of the pharisees who were seeking worldly power and success, based purely on cultural or nationalistic inheritance. But let's seek repentance while we still have time.
Are the spiritual children and followers of Elder Ephraim required to believe this alleged prophecy about the rise of an EARTHLY kingdom of this Sleeping King John?
It sounds to me like some kind of nationalist fantasy where the Greeks see condign punishment inflicted on the Turks, Russians (who make up the vast majority of Orthodox Christians) slaughtered and the Greeks are elevated above all the peoples of the earth as rulers…
By the way, why are Russian Orthodox Christian lives so cheap in this prophecy? Did the Patriarch of Constantinople or his henchman have a hand in writing this fantasy?
The “prophecy” of so much blood spilled so that this King John can ascend his throne is horrifying. Are there truly brothers and sisters in Christ who are so bloodthirsty as to wish for all of this to happen?!
This reminds me of the account in the Gospel where the Jews welcomed the Lord Jesus Christ with hosannas and palms because they believed that he was ushering in a new Davidic Kingdom and then turned on Him (“Crucify Him”) when He spoke only of the heavenly kingdom. It appears that some of our Greek brethren have fallen into the same temptation as demonstrated by the hope placed on this bloodthirsty fantasy of an earthly Greek-ruled kingdom.
Many cultures have similar nationalistic myths about a sleeping king. This motif is known among folklorists as the King in the Mountain/Sleeping King motif. See:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_asleep_in_mountain
Examples in popular culture: the Return of King Arthur in England or the “King Under the Mountain” from Tolkien’s fantasy writing.
I’m with St. Porphyrios on the subject of the Greek Sleeping King: We should pray that such bloodshed will not occur, and that the “paper solution” (political) will be found for any world conflicts – “Blessed are the peacemakers” – resembling these fantasy scenarios so that the hoped-for spillage of billions of gallons of blood will not occur.
To me, as a non-Greek Orthodox Christian, I find the wish for such a “prophecy” to come to pass to be evil if not satanic. Sorry, my Greek brothers and sisters, but the hope that you have placed in this hell-enic revenge fantasy is going to leave you disappointed.
We have no King but Christ!
To me, the most obviously antichristic aspect of the Sleeping King prophecy is that it is the only prophecy out there among Orthodox Christians where the Russians must be destroyed before the Greek Sleeping King takes over the ruling of the entire world.
If anything, this prophecy serves to harden the heart, desensitize the spirit of the Greeks towards their Russian Orthodox brethren.
The present day growing schism (cf. Ukraine) in the Orthodox Church that is dividing the body into Greeks (Constantinople, Alexandria, Athens, Cyprus, etc.) against Russians (and their Slavic and non-Slavic supporters, especially the Serbs) will only worsen if this false prophecy becomes a tenet of faith among the Greeks: the Russian Orthodox must fall before the Greek Sleeping King ascends.
Widening the gulf between these two sides serves nobody but the Antichrist to come.
