Is the Prophecy from Eldress Agatha of Belo-Russia True?
In a more recent issue, number 87
to be specific, of "The Orthodox Word", printed in July-August, 1979 one may
come across an interesting prophecy. After the declaration of Metropolitan
Sergius, Eldress Agatha of Belo-Russia became one of many who fled to the
Catacomb Church. According to the Orthodox Word's article, she became fairly
well known in certain cirlces of the Catacomb Church for her piety and gift of
prophecy. Anyway, I found this section of the article interesting- about the
Moscow Patriarchate she said:
"This is not a true church. It has signed a contract to serve antichrist. Do not
go to it. Do not receive any Mysteries from its servants. Do not participate in
prayer with them. There will come a time when churches will be opened in Russia,
and the true Orthodox faith will triumph. Then people will become baptized, as
at one time they were baptized under St. Vladimir. When the churches are opened
for the first time, do not go to them because these will not be true churches;
but when they are opened the second time, then go - these will be the true
churches."
In a footnote to this excerpt, the editors write: "After almost all churches in
Russia were closed in the late 1930's, the churches were 'opened for the first
time' under Stalin (Churches of the Moscow Patriarchate); after many more
closures since then, the churches have not yet been opened "the second time".
It seems as if since 1979, the Churches have indeed been opened for "the second
time.
