Holy Elder in Greece Prophesied Americans Moving to Russia, Christianity Flourishing There Again
“America will then perish terribly, completely. The Americans will flee, trying to save themselves..."
A hundred years ago, the famous Mount Athos elder archimandrite Stefan Karulsky was born. His prophecies gained particular popularity among Christian believers.
Forty Years On High
Not much is known about Stefan's life. It is known that he was born in Serbia in 1922. After graduating from an agricultural technical school, the young man entered the Balkan monastery Tuman as a novice, where at that time the Russian brotherhood labored.
Later he moved to another monastery - Studenitsa, where he encountered the beginning of the Second World War. In 1945, the communists sentenced him to death. However, he managed to escape the blackguard. “I began to run and pray fervently. Bullets flew after me, but they didn’t hurt, they only burned through my shirt,” the elder later recalled.
The miraculous event impressed the monk so much that in the early 1950s he reached Mount Athos on foot . First he entered the Serbian monastery of Hilandar, then he lived with his Russian brothers in Karey. But soon he settled in Karuliya - a cave monastery where hermits live in the most severe conditions. Here the monk spent almost 40 years.
In the early years, the archimandrite served the liturgy daily. Soon the news of this ascetic spread among the believers, and suffering people from different parts of the world reached out to him.
Formally, the elder belonged to the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), and he accepted anyone who turned to him for advice and help.
Once a fire destroyed the cell of the archimandrite. He had to live in an empty cave for two winters. From there, physically weakened, he was taken to a Serbian monastery near Belgrade. Karulsky died there in 2001.
From the Words of the Virgin
The extraordinary popularity of the old man was facilitated by another fact - clairvoyance. A trait, as Orthodox priests say, inherent in people of high spiritual organization.
Stefan Karulsky greeted the Russians especially warmly. He knew the language poorly and often switched to Serbian. But the guests argued that despite this, what was said always remained clear and understandable.
To some, the archimandrite told how their path would turn out, to others - whether there would be happiness in life. But he often spoke about things more global. The ascetic claimed that the Mother of God appeared to him and revealed the coming world events.
One of the visions tells that somewhere near the beginning of the 21st century, “America will then perish terribly, completely. The Americans will flee, trying to save themselves. It will be so,” said the elder.
He advised the inhabitants of Russia to "take care of their homes," since millions of refugees from across the ocean would pour in there: "They will occupy every corner that was deserted before."
And about the two powers, he said, "America dreams of becoming stronger than Russia." But, according to the elder, "the aspirations of politicians will not come true - envy will only lead to a dead end."
“A Bloody Battle Will Break Out”
Of course, Stefan Karulsky is not the only ascetic from the Holy Mountain to whom pictures of the future were revealed in solitude.
The famous St. Paisius of the Holy Mountain, who lived on Mt. Athos for almost 50 years, also spoke about the confrontation between two countries — not Russia and the USA , but Turkey and Greece. He said that a dispute over Constantinople will begin between these countries, "into which Christians and Muslims will be drawn."
In addition, St. Paisius more than once predicted the division of Europe into two camps. The latter will include almost all East Slavic countries: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, and even Ukraine.
Ephraim of Philotheus, another ascetic from Mount Athos, before his death in 2019, warned of a global crisis that would befall the planet within a few years. He said political relations would become aggravated among many countries.
“The blame for this evil will lie with man and his thoughtless deeds. Only fortitude will help to avoid serious consequences. People should give up unbridled consumption and pay attention to their souls. Therefore, those who understand this will be saved,” the seer believed.
Ten years before him, back in 2009, the Greek monk Joseph of Vatopedi spoke about future numerous wars.
“A bloody battle will break out. It will take hundreds of millions of lives. The Lord will allow this tragedy to cleanse the world of those mired in sins. But after the catastrophe, a religious upsurge will begin,” the elder said.
Therefore, he added, the coming trials should not terrify true believers.
