Russia has
struck two major Ukrainian ports, damaging three Turkish-owned ships
— including one carrying food supplies — in a major attack on
Odesa. Ukraine says Russia used drones and ballistic missiles to hit
civilian shipping routes, even as Turkey called for a limited
ceasefire just hours earlier. Photos released by President Zelensky
show one vessel burning in Chornomorsk, where firefighters battled
huge flames. Turkey confirmed that its vessels were hit but reported
no injuries. Ukraine says the attack is part of Russia’s attempt to
“cut Ukraine off from the sea” and stop global trade. With Black
Sea ports already under pressure, this strike raises fears of
escalating conflict and threats to global food supply routes.
St. Paisios was born in
Cappadocia in 1924, coincidentally that’s the year the Republic of
Turkey was founded! The Turks invaded this part of Greece. The Greeks
fought ferociously and in fact won the first stage of the war. The
Turks returned with more reinforcements and were victorious. The
Greeks were allowed to peacefully leave …

Here are a few of his predictions in brief:
❖ Soviet Russia
will collapse 70 years after the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. The
prediction was made in the late 70s – early 80s.
❖ He saw a vision
of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 2 weeks before it
occurred.
❖ He foresaw the
destruction of Turkey by Russia, after Turkey attacks Greece. ❖
NATO will oppose the Russians but its forces will be
destroyed
❖ The nation of
Israel will be destroyed 70 years after its conception. 2/3 of their
People will become Christians. Is it a coincidence that the Elder
died at age 70
❖ The beginning of
Armageddon will be near after Turkey closes the Euphrates River dam.
❖ Turkey will be
divided in pieces. One piece will go to Greece; one Piece will go to
Armenia and one to Kurdistan.
❖ The Dome of the
Rock will collapse from bellow. Armageddon will be close when
Solomons temple is ready to be rebuilt.
❖ Israel will
attack its close neighbors with nuclear weapons when they see their
end is near.
♰ History does not know the conventional way and does not believe
in chance. Everything that happened in the past will definitely
respond today. And St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery is a
monumental confirmation of this opinion.
Founded in the summer of 1108 on the occasion of the victory over the
Polovtsians, the church was consecrated in honor of Archangel
Michael. He was considered the patron of military affairs - work
worthy of princes. The temple was the first among others to receive
golden domes and began the tradition of gilding them. It was the
domes that suffered the greatest losses in 1240 during the Mongol
invasion - the Mongols damaged the cathedral and removed its gilded
baths. But this did not prevent the temple from being reborn in full
beauty in two centuries.
Demolition of St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Cathedral by Bolsheviks
At the beginning of the summer of 1919 Bolshevik (Communist)
government moved to Kyiv from Kharkiv. They started the
nationalization of buildings and property.
In the 1930s, Soviet historians called into question the known
historical facts regarding the age of the cathedral. They emphasized
that the medieval building had undergone major reconstructions and it
hadn’t preserved the original Byzantine style. In its place, they
planned a new administrative center for the Ukrainian Soviet
Socialist Republic.
The cathedral was declared to belong particularly to the Ukrainian
Baroque architectural style, rather than to the 12th-century
Byzantine style. This conclusion was encouraged by the Soviet
government to demolish the entire monastery. All the professors
signed the demolition act except for Mykola Makarenko, who stood his
ground and refused to do so. As a consequence, he was arrested and
eventually sentenced to death in Tomsk, Russia in 1938.
The cathedral saw the hetman's greatness and the Ruin, the prosperity
of Kyiv and the destruction of its churches during the "godless
five-year plan". It took about 60 years for the St. Michael's
Golden-Domed Monastery to be restored in the same way to which modern
Kyivans are accustomed. It was restored so that the church could
stand up for them again in 2013-2014. Then, for the first time in 8
centuries, the bells of the monastery sounded the alarm, and its
walls became a place of rest and hiding for the participants of the
Revolution of Dignity.
History does not believe in chance. It creates symbols, and then,
century after century, turn by turn, strengthens them. Whether it's a
temple wall or a baby surrounded by lambs, those destined to stand up
for the people will surely be reborn to fulfil their historic
purpose.

1.
Crowned and became the Arch of the Archangel’s
Saint
Michael is one of the seven Archangels, who is always standing
besides God’s throne and is honored for leading the army of Holy
Angels and defeated Satan and the rebellious angels into Hell.
Revelation 12:7 On this day God crowned him with his glory and mercy
and become the Arch of the Archangel's.
2.
The Commander of the Lord’s Army
Joshua,
the son of Nun, saw him in great glory and was frightened by him and
fell on his face to the earth and said to him, "Are you for us,
or for our adversaries?" So he said, "No; but as Commander
of the army of the Lord... I have given Jericho into your hand, ...
and its king." (Joshua 5:13-15, 6:2)

The Exodus of Israel from Egypt through the help of the Arch Angle
Michael
Exodus
14:19-22:
19
Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel’s
army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved
from in front and stood behind them, 20 coming between the armies of
Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to
the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the
other all night long.
21
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night
the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it
into dry land. The waters were divided, 22 and the Israelites went
through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right
and on their left.
23
The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots
and horsemen followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of
the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at
the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. 25 He jammed[a] the
wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the
Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is
fighting for them against Egypt.”
26
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so
that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots
and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at
daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing
toward[b] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea. 28 The water
flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army
of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of
them survived.
29
But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of
water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved
Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians
lying dead on the shore. 31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty
hand of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared
the Lord and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.
Michael,
is the commander of the angels, came down from heaven, and rolled
back the stone from the mouth of the tomb, and announced the women
“Christ is risen from the dead”.
St.
Paul observes that the Hebrews “ all our fathers were under the
cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptized unto
Moses in the cloud and in the sea” (1 Cor. 10:1-4; Rom. 6:3-4; Gal.
3:27).
There
is a common ritual practiced by the devotees in order to commemorate,
worship and give thanks. Ethiopian traditional bread – Difo Dabo,
roasted barley – Kolo in the name of St. Michael are being
prepared and shared in the church.
🙏 May the prayer of
Archangel Saint Michael be up on us!

During their continuing series of combined drone-missile strikes
against Ukrainian energy targets, Russian forces struck the port city
of Izmail, in the Odessa region – right on the border with NATO
member Romania.
At least one of
the drones struck a Turkish-flagged tanker and set it on fire –
just one day after Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky signed a
deal to import US liquefied natural gas through that exact area.
Euronews
reported:
“The MT
Orinda was hit during the offloading of liquefied petroleum gas at
Izmail port, Turkey’s Directorate for Maritime Affairs said. All 16
crew on board evacuated and no one was hurt, it said.”
Russia has
repeatedly used drones, missiles and artillery to strike Ukrainian
Black Sea ports.
“Authorities
ordered the evacuation of people and animals from two villages close
to Izmail on the Romanian side of the border, saying the nature of
the tanker’s cargo required such precautions.
Ukrainian
officials didn’t comment specifically on the tanker, although
regional military administration head Oleh Kiper said Russian drones
attacked the Odesa region overnight and damaged energy and port
infrastructure in several cities.”
Romania
evacuates village as Russian drone struck ship stationed in Izmail in
Odessa region.
Ship carrying
4,000 tons of liquified gas was struck by Russian drone on the bank
of the Danube river — authorities believe the risk of explosion is
high.
“On Sunday,
Zelenskyy was on an official visit to Greece where a deal was signed
for US liquefied natural gas to flow to Odesa via pipelines from the
northern port of Alexandroupolis starting in January.”
Two other
vessels were also damaged in Izmail.

House of the Virgin Mary
The House of the
Virgin Mary is located in today's Antichrist
Turkey. It is situated on Mount Koressos (also known as
Bülbüldağı), which is about about 5
kilometers from the ancient city of Ephesus and 7 kilometers from the
modern town of Selçuk.
This sacred
sanctuary, believed to be the last residence of Virgin
Mary, The Mother
of Jesus Christ, attracts countless pilgrims and tourists from all
corners of the world. Steeped in history, legend, and spirituality,
the House of the Virgin Mary is a place of reverence and
contemplation.
The
ancient Greek city of Ephesus was a recipient city of one of
the Pauline epistles and one of the seven churches of Asia addressed
in the Book of Revelation. The Gospel of John may have been written
there, and it was the site of several 5th-century Christian Councils
(Council of Ephesus). The city was destroyed by the Goths in 263.
Although it was afterwards rebuilt, its importance as a port and
commercial centre declined as the harbour was slowly silted up by the
Küçükmenderes River. In 614, it was partially destroyed by an
earthquake.

The Mother God, St. Mary, the New Ark of the
Covenant
In the Book of Revelation
(11:19) the Ark of the Covenant appears again, this time in the
Celestial Temple in fulfillment of the prophecy of Jeremiah. This
vision of the Ark leads immediately in Revelation to the vision of
the Woman Clothed with the Sun who was with child (Rev. 12:1). The
image is that of Mary, presented as Mother of the Messiah and
spiritual Mother of Israel, the New Ark of the Covenant.
