LUTHER, FRANCIS AND ANTICHRIST

LUTHER,  FRANCIS  AND  ANTICHRIST

Press release № 104 E

1. The “Orthodox Voice of Kuban” (in Rus. “Pravoslavniy Golos Kubany”) newspaper (OVK, March 2013, № 3/268, chief editor – the Kuban metropolitan Isidor) has published on the 5-th page the photo of the icon, depicting the army of the antichrist (with the necessary inscription – in order to have nobody to doubt), attacking the orthodox church, shown as a ship. There are Luther (to avoid any doubt the inscription “Luther” is given over him; he, as a technically advanced German, is drawn with a gun, and the other antichrist warriors – with the cold weapons) and the Rome Pope (the necessary inscription is over him, too) in the antichrist army ranks.

Between Luther and Pope some person is drawn to crawl out of the jaws of the monster and to shoot at the orthodox church with a bow; he has a turban on his head, that, as one can understand, must symbolize the Moslemism.

2. Isidor publishes the mentioned icon in OVK not once. Such a publication has a faith-establishing character, because on the 1-st page of the same OVK issue (2013, № 3) the sermon is printed, which straightly calls to worship the icons. Namely “to worship”, and not only “to honour”. This sermon contains 9 calls to worship icons.

3. The icon, photo of which has been published in the newspaper, is hung, as our ministers witness, in the Nativity Temple of the Jubilee microdistrict of Krasnodar.

4. The named icon photo publication fell on the moment, when the new Rome Pope – Francis – was elected. OVK “congratulated” him in such a way.

5. The publication in OVK has coincided also with the visit to Krasnodar of pastor Gerhard Leiser (Karlsruhe, Baden, Germany; the confessor of the German Bundestag deputies praying group). He led on 31.03.2013 the Easter church service in the German Evangelish–Lutheran congregation of Krasnodar. During the service he prayed for the authorities of Russia and Germany, and for the Pope Francis. Representatives of some other protestant Krasnodar congregations and of the Roman catholical parish were present at the named service. One of the metropolitan Isidor’s hypo-deacons was also invited: at first he had given his agreement, but then he did not come.

6. I must especially note, that one of the participants of the mentioned Easter service was the known Russian missionary A. A. Eropkin, who accepted the Eucharist from the hands of Leiser. Eropkin was the President of ECMU (Evangelical Christian Missionary Union – the all-Russia denomination, which is the member of the World Commonwealth of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the center of which is in Colorado, USA; ECMU has its’ own Kuban Evangelical Christian University – KECU – in Krasnodar), and therefore he has the status of the archbishop. He took part in the campaign to liberate me from prison. On the day of my liberation 09.09.1999 A. A. Eropkin in person was meeting me with his private car at the prison gates with the ECMU church advocate A. M. Antipyonok.

7. One note more: the OVK publication expresses, as if, the relation of the metropolitan to the Synod of ELCER (Evangelish-Lutheran Church of the European Russia), which is to take place in Krasnodar (15 – 16.04.2013) and Novorossiysk (17 – 19.04.2013).

8. This publication to significant extent explains also the disgusting stubbornness of the obscurants not to return the historic German Evangelish-Lutheran Kirche in Krasnodar to Jesus Christ.

9. Every one, who is in Christ, remember, what it is said about Jesus: “He was numbered with the transgressors” (Is. 53:12)!
