"The time will come when not persecution but money and the delights of this world, people will turn away from God and die much more souls than during an open rebellion. On the one hand, will erect crosses and golden domes, and on the other - there will be a kingdom of lies and evil. True Church will always be persecuted, and can be saved only sorrow and disease. Persecution will take the most unpredictable and sophisticated. But the salvation of the world - from Russia. "

And then Russia will be saved. A lot of suffering, a lot of suffering ... The whole of Russia will become a prison, and have a lot of begging the Lord for forgiveness. Repent of their sins and be afraid, and do the slightest sins and try to do good, even the smallest. After all, the wing of a fly has weight, but God's scales are accurate. And when the smallest good in the bowl outweighs, then God will show mercy to Russia ...
The end will be in China. An unusual burst of will, and will be a miracle of God. And life will be completely different in the land, but not for very long. The cross of Christ will shine over the whole world, because it magnified our homeland and will be like a beacon in the darkness for all. "

"Russia will be restored the monarchy, autocratic power. Lord predyzbral future king. This will be a person of faith fiery, brilliant mind and iron will.
