Ukraine waited for its Antichrist – MK

Lavra Zelensky haunts

The hottest spot in the theater of operations is Artemovsk (Bakhmut). In the spiritual war – the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. It was the confrontation around the heart of Russian Orthodoxy that exposed the spiritual essence of the conflict.

Here Zelensky says: “Today, a step has also been taken to strengthen the spiritual independence of our state, to protect our society from the old and cynical Moscow manipulations of religion. Ukraine is the territory of the greatest religious freedom in our part of Europe.”

But here we see – from the thousand-year-old Lavra, the place that held the Russian world together with a single faith, monks are being expelled. The very concept of the “Russian world” came precisely from here – this expression is used in the Epistle of the Bishop of Vladimir Simon to the Pechersk Chernorizian Polycarp. Academician Likhachev wrote that the Kiev Caves Monastery is shown as the most important center of the Russian world in one of the most famous monuments of ancient Russian literature of the early 13th century, the Kiev Caves Paterik (it includes the Epistle).

Here we see how the other day they threw “Molotov cocktails” at the temple of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the village of Kordyshev, Ternopil region.

Here in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, tear gas is smoked out of the last church of the canonical UOC clergy here.

And that’s just in the last few days. And how many in total – beatings, arrests of priests, seizures and destruction of churches – were there before that?

So, when Zelensky says that Ukraine is the territory of the greatest religious freedom, he is lying.

When Zelensky talks about protecting society “from the old and cynical Moscow manipulation of religion,” he is lying again. The UOC did not swear as soon as loyalty and loyalty to the regime. I even went to bow to Zelensky. But the word “old” is important here. It’s the antonym of “new”. To modern trends in Western “Christianity”, which is beginning to recognize gay marriage, LGBT and other perversion of the human form. The image created in the “image and likeness”. See who doesn’t know who is called the “monkey of God”. It is clear where the flock is being dragged.

When Zelensky talks about “a step towards spiritual independence,” he is lying. Lies, unless he means a complete change of religion. Because in the Christian Creed it is written: “I believe in one, catholic and apostolic Church.” United, not divided into parts. This is not spiritual independence, but the loss of foundation.

It is worth remembering with what main message Zelensky came to power – the “president of the world.” He promised to stop the bloodshed in the Donbass, but continued to kill Russian people. Evil came under the guise of good.

This is written in the Gospel of John (8:44): “Your father is the devil, and you want to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and did not stand in the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks his own, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

As one of our priests aptly noted: “Ukraine has waited for its Antichrist.” This is the spiritual essence of the conflict. In the destruction of traditional Christianity.

And therefore, the laurel haunts Zelensky. It prevents us from passing off black as white, and darkness as light.
