St. Seraphim

Its apparent that St. Seraphim was a Godly man but the idea that the Tzars would fall, given the years he was a priest was well within the realm of common sense.

I do not know how much you know about the conditions in Russia prior to the fall of the Tsar's. But from what I understand they were much worst than what was going on in France or for that matter the US prior to those revolts.

St. Seraphim died in 1833 Helen and in 1835 Karl Marx was writing about his future.

By January of 1905 what was known as Bloody Sunday had occurred....

Bloody Sunday

On the ninth of January, 1905, by order of the tsar, a peaceful demonstration of St. Petersburg workers were brutally shot down. The workers had been lead by the priest Gapon, and were marching towards the Winter Palace to present a petition to the tsar.

A wave of mass political strikes and demonstrations ensued all over Russia, under the slogan of "Down with the autocracy!" The events of January 9 marked the beginning of the revolution of 1905-07.

By March of 1917 Czar Nicholas II abdicates and by October of 1917 The Soviet government is formed, with Lenin as Chairman.

The Mystery Of The Anointed Sovereigns Tsar Nicholas II & Tsarina Alexandra of Russia...

article by the Rabbi from England, said about the "Mystery Of The Anointed Sovereigns":

Within the pages of Holy Scripture, we first find the oil of anointing mentioned in Exodus 30:22-25. A special oil (also called the oil of unction) is to be used to consecrate the most sacred articles of the Tabernacle of Moses and to anoint the High Priest. "It shall not be poured upon the bodies of ordinary men" (v.32). The persons and articles so anointed become consecrated as "holy" and "most holy."

The Hebrew word for "holy" is codes. It means "set aside for God's use," and is similar to our English words "consecrated" and "sacred." It was, then from the word of God Himself, that Jewish law and tradition understood that pouring oil over certain people set them apart as consecrated and holy.

From the days of Moses (ca. 1450' B.C. or perhaps 12880

In other words, the War that is going on now is the beginning of the last battle. All conscious Orthodox (sadly, so many are not conscious and so are creating divisions in the Church) are at the Front. Either Russia and the Orthodox world will continue and the rest of the world will continue with them, because the Apocalypse will have been postponed, or else the end will come – and sooner than anyone thinks.

And here is one on LENIN...
''Two major tragedies occurred which had an acute effect on the young Lenin (then Ulyanov).
In 1886 his father got sick and died, the following year his eldest brother, Alexander, was hung for plotting assassination on Tsar Alexander III.
Lenin renounced religion and the political system.
