New Sodomy Laws in Russia and US Confirm Prophecies of Saints & Holy Elders
Federal lawmakers in both nations set the stage for divine judgments of biblical proportions
Divine Judgment on Sodomite Cultures Throughout History
Many times, God has destroyed entire cities and cultures, when they throw off all restraint and give sodomy free reign. The most famous of these is Sodom, which receives significant attention in the biblical record.
Of course, Sodom doesn't stand alone. Multiple other cities and cultures have openly embraced the debauchery of homosexuality, and have been divinely destroyed as a result. From biblical times, we can consider the demise of Sodom, Canaan, & Gibeah, which are three ancient cultures God destroyed because of homosexual activity.
In more modern times, from 1st century Italy to the 20th century Carribean, we can consider the utter destruction of Pompeii, Port Royal, & St. Pierre, which are three more cities God destroyed for sinning like Sodom.
Special judgment does not come upon nations because of a few secret homosexuals who hide their sin and practice their shameful deeds in private. But when government leaders support sodomites, and when the general public openly approves of sodomites and other sexual deviants, that is historically when God has brought entire cities, cultures, and even nations to a bitter end.
All three branches of the American federal government have now voiced their official approval of homosexual behavior. And the following chart shows the current situation regarding homosexual approval in America. In regard to same-sex "marriage", nearly every state is now a "blue state":
At the highest level, the federal governments of both Russia and America are simultaneouly preparing the way for the fulfillment of prophecies that have been made by the most venerable Orthodox Saints and holy elders. As St. Paisios has said: When an individual sins, God punishes the individual, but when the government sins, God punishes the whole nation. Russia is preparing itself for God's blessing, and America is preparing itself for God's judgment.
Federal Laws Currently Being Decided in America and Russia
On July 18, 2022, the United States House of Representatives passed (267-157) the "Respect for Marriage Act", in favor of making homosexual "marriages" legal nationwide according to federal law.
On November 29, 2022, the United States Senate passed (62-37) the "Respect for Marriage Act". Now it is being sent to President Joseph Biden for a signature.
Though the Supreme Court had already forced homosexual "marriage" on all Americans in 2015, recent comments by the court had worried liberal lawmakers that the court might possibly overturn their own decision. Now, with homosexual "marriage" entrenched into federal law, a hypothetical Supreme Court decision reversal would not bring this practice to an end.
On November 24, 2022, the Russian Duma unanimously passed (397-0) federal legislation banning LGBT Books, Movies, Advertisting, & Media. The bill is now being sent to the Russian Senate, where it is expected to easily pass. Then the bill is to be sent to President Vladimir Putin for a signature.
Thus in Russia, the federal government is banning sodomite propaganda nationwide, while in America, the federal government is securing sodomite "marriage" for an entire nation. In America there are Militant LGBT Activists Persecuting American Christians, while in Russia, "coming out" statements are to be forbidden. Based on this information, is it any surprise if God sends blessings to Russia, and judgment to America?
Saints & Holy Elders Have Prophesied: Russia Will Rise, America Will Fall
Many canonized saints and holy elders have prophesied the rebirth and spiritual ascendancy of Russia in the end times. For example, consider the following articles:
Russian Prophecies of Antichrist & End Times - "Salvation of the World is from Russia"
'Antichrist Will Reign Everywhere Except Russia' - Prophecies of Russian Saints
Here are some poignant excerpts:
“I foresee the restoration of a powerful Russia, still stronger and mightier than before. On the bones of these martyrs, remember, as on a strong foundation, will the new Russia we built – according to the old model; strong in her faith in Christ God and in the Holy Trinity! And there will be, in accordance with the covenant of the holy Prince Vladimir, a single Church! Russian people have ceased to understand what Rus is: it is the footstool of the Lord’s Throne! The Russian person must understand this and thank God that he is Russian.”
— St. John of Kronstadt (+1908)
"The storm will pass over the Russian land; the Lord will forgive the Russian people their sins. And in Divine and Holy beauty the Cross will shine brightly above the Church of God once more. And the ringing of bells will awaken all our Holy Rus to salvation from the slumber of sin. Holy monasteries will open anew, and faith in God will unite all." "The salvation of the world is from Russia."
— St. Seraphim Of Vyritsa (+1949)
Holy elders have also prophesied the judgment and destruction of America:
"An evil will shortly take Russia, and wherever this evil goes, rivers of blood will flow. It is not the Russian soul, but an imposition on the Russian soul. It is not an ideology, nor a philosophy, but a spirit from hell. In the last days Germany will be divided. France will be just nothing. Italy will be judged by natural disasters. Britain will lose her empire and all her colonies and will come to almost total ruin, but will be saved by praying enthroned women. America will feed the world, but will finally collapse."
— Elder Aristocles of Moscow (+1918)
“America will then perish terribly, completely. The Americans will flee, trying to save themselves. It will be so.”
— Elder Stefan Karulsky of Mt. Athos (+2001)
When the people of a nation — and their government — openly accept sodomites and celebrate their wicked way of life, they invite the judgment of God to fall upon the entire nation. When a nation rejects homosexual perversions and embraces a traditional Christian view of family life, they invite the blessings of God. The current federal legislation in Russia and America is setting the stage for the fulfillment of prophecies for both nations.
I have given a lot of thought to this continued notion of American Christians moving to Russia. I dared to mention the idea to the men of my parish. The idea was swiftly shot down. Why? Because Russia is very much Eastern Orthodox. I read yesterday that Catholics are viewed negatively and are vilified in the culture. The Catholic population, I hear, is a very tiny minority that attends parishes in the major cities.
I think our family would very much enjoy living in Russia. But how would we manage a Sunday Mass obligation? I would have to worry about my kids being taught Eastern Orthodoxy, as opposed to Catholicism. (Though, the EO vs RCC phenomenon is not something I’ve given much thought. I have nothing in particular against EO, but I’d prefer to remain Catholic.)
I simply don’t know if there’s any place for Trad Caths in this idea. Which is a shame, because I think the Russians would enjoy Trad Caths, who’re radically different from the usual modernist Americans.
What is your feedback, Fr. Joe? Have you gotten many statements like these?
It took my whole young life to realize I had to leave the Protestant Baptist church, and join an apostolic Catholic Church. I literally converted into it because I thought “this is it.” I’m uncertain there is room for someone like me over there.
I am very tired of seeing the sin in the west. Recently I was driving my children for an outing and a city bus was on the same road as us with Trans lgbt plastered all over the outside of the bus. I was so mad and doing all I can to protect my children from such. This is being forced on us in society. Even Drs can now treat children over a certain age where parents have zero rights to oversee their child's care, often with dire consequences. We need to get out of here and do what we can to protect our children. We've lived in numerous western countries, and all are both pro-lgbt and anti-Russian. We're working to gather all our documents and are nearly ready for having translated. Have now spent a few thousand on gathering the required paperwork so far. I am very sad with what has happened to the west, and as another commenter stated, "this has been going on since the 60's" which I agree with. I'm not that old as we have a number of small children. I see the west going down and every nation that has turned away from God has resulted in chaos and judgement. I pray for the salvation of those of my siblings that are lost and should also for those who are lost and without hope in Jesus. I just cannot see how I can stay here with how things are. And it seems to get harder and harder to leave.
