These  Prophecies  were  made  postumously,  in  1817 A.D. to  a  nearly  illiterate  Athonite  monk, Theophanes, using  the  dates of  the  Calendar  from  Creation, from  which  there  has  been  much  confusion! 

After the 4 quarters  of  a  century  from  now (i.e.1917),for  three  quarters  of  a  century, ( 1992) the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time of the advent of the antichrist approaches, people's minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will grow unrecognizable. People's appearances will change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their shamelessness in dress and style of hair. These people will be cruel and will be like wild animals because of the temptations of the antichrist. There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear, and Christian pastors, bishops, and priests will become vile men, completely failing to distinguish the right-hand way from the left.

At that time, the morals and Traditions of Christians and of the Church will change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign. Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds, and murder will rule in society.

At that future time, due to the power of such great crimes and licentiousness, people will be deprived of the grace of the Holy Spirit, which they received in Holy Baptism, and equally of repentance. The churches of God will be deprived of God-fearing and pious pastors, and woe to the Christians remaining in the world at that time; they will completely lose the true faith because they will lack the opportunity of seeing the light of knowledge from anyone at all. They will separate themselves out of the world in holy refuges in search of lightening of their spiritual sufferings, but everywhere they will meet obstacles and constraints.

 ...And this will result from the fact that the Antichrist wants to be lord over everything and become the ruler of the whole universe, and he will produce miracles and fantastic signs. He will also give depraved wisdom to an unhappy man so that he will discover a way by which one man can carry on a conversation from one end of the earth to the other. At that time, men will also fly through the air like birds and descend to the bottom of the sea like fish. And when they have achieved all this, these unhappy people will spend their lives in comfort  without knowing, poor souls, that it is the deceit of the antichrist. And the impious one! - he will so complete science with vanity, that it will go off the right path and lead people to lose faith in the existence in God.

...Then God will see the downfall of the human race and will shorten the days for the sake of those few who are being saved, because the enemy wants to lead even the chosen into temptation, if that is possible.

...Then the sword of chastisement will suddenly appear to kill the perverter.

   Note.  1917  is  precisely  the  year  of  the  Deposition  of  the  Orthodox  Emperor, and the end  of  the  flow  of  Slavic  monks  to Athos,  which  caused  a  decline  of  more  than  50%  in  number,  and  a  worse  spiritual  invasion  of " Modernists." Perhaps  the  worst  of  these  is  Bartholomeos, elected  in  1992,  who  hates  Sacred  Tradition, and  is  striving  every  single  day  to  achieve  union  with  every  kind  of  heretic,  Papist, Anglican, Monophysite,  Nestorian  or  whatever,  since  he  is  a  disciple  of  Freemasonry.  Several  other  evil  events  came  to  pass  in  1992 ( 7,500  A.C.)  from  which the  world  will  never  recover.  Please  note  the  prophecy  of  the  total  confusion  of  the  bishops  and  other  clergy,  so  that  now  it  is  necessary  for  the  Faithful  to  travel  hundreds  of miles  to  find  an  Orthodox  pastor  to  save  one's  soul.  These  things  should  not  overly dismay  us,  as  they  were  prophesied  a  a  century  and  more  in  advance,  by  the  Spirit  of  God. "For  those  that  love God, all  things  work  together  unto  good."(Rom:8:28) Suffering  these  things  and  persevering  we  will  save  our  souls.
