What are the consequences of spiritual decline and loss of faith!
A warning from the Russian Orthodox Church!
Published in Russian newspapers on August 21.
For centuries, the theme of the end of the world has caused human panic and curiosity.
Now, the Russian Orthodox Church reminds people that the Bible contains signs that may foretell the coming of the Book of Revelation.
The Russian Orthodox Church on the Book of Revelation as a result of the loss of faith.
In the signs, the decline of human spirit is mentioned.
The disappearance of faith, indifference to neighbors, the loss of love and truth - all these are seen as emergency signals.
In church tradition, it is emphasized that these phenomena are always accompanied by society during major turning points, but today they are particularly acute.
Church representatives have repeatedly reminded the faithful that the end of the world cannot be accurately predicted.
In the early 2000s, when the "Y2K problem" was widely discussed, many expected global disasters.
Similar reminders also appeared in 2012, when the "Mayan calendar apocalypse" was widely discussed.
Today, church people once again emphasize the importance of spiritual preparation.
In times of instability, conflict, and moral crisis, prayer, participation in the sacraments, and the pursuit of spiritual purification have particular significance.
Therefore, the issue of eschatology is more about reflection on one's own life and an appeal to strengthen faith, rather than mysterious prophecy.
