Pretty interesting, but it seems...off.
The Ruler of this Northern nation will replace the Crescent atop Haghia Sophia with the Cross(St Sophia Cathedral), converting that structure back from being a mosque to being an Orthodox Christian Temple.
"The Orthodox Cross will gleam upon [the Cathedral of Ste.] Sophia in the Royal City [of Constantinople. And the City ...] will be filled with the smoke of frankincense and with prayer, and will blossom like unto an heavenly white lily. A great destiny is foreordained for Russia. Therefore will she suffer(3rd world war ), in order that she might be purified and kindle the light of revelation unto the nations."

Omega is the last letter of the Greek Alphabet.....also meaning the end.
Jesus Christ said I AM the Alpha(first letter of the greek alphabet) and the Omega (The last letter of the greek alphabet)which is the last.

A certain landowner, meaning Father God, established a “vineyard,” which means the Church of the Old Testament. Having set a hedge around it, which the analysts interpret as being the law of Moses and all institutions in general, elected so as to safeguard God’s chosen people — Jews — from the heathen’s influence; dug a “winepress” in it, in which the juices were extracted and erected a “watchtower” for the guards, to guard the vineyard against robbers and wild animals. The Holy Fathers reasoned that the words “winepress” and “watchtower” meant altar and church. Having arranged everything for the comfort of the vinedressers,

ST Udio......
Christ is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH.
In concluding His parable, the Lord likens Himself to the 22-23 verses of the 118th Psalm, calling Himself the Rock, which the builders have rejected i.e. the leaders of the Jewish people, and Which became “the chief cornerstone” — the keystone of the grand building of the New Testament Church.
Parable on the Wicked Vinedressers.

the rest here...
St Udio , I embrace the early church.....no modernism.
Christ is the same yesterday,today and tomorrow.
People do change scripture to suit their own ideas but the WORD of God has not changed.
I did have a look at the site you put ......thanks
I guess TIME will reveal the truth.

I mean the New Testament was written how many hundreds of years after Jesus died?
used contemporary common language....its not too far fetched to
hold that your above reference of Jesus saying
"...I am the Alpha and the Omega..."
might rather have been, also in the Greek, 'Alpha and Tsampi'
which is more in the mystical, magical realm, which is more in line
with the discourse that Jesus was verbalising at the time??
So, be warned, my friend. I have given you the signs of the antichrist.
Do not merely store them in your memory. Pass them on to everyone without
stint. If you have a child after the flesh, teach them to him forthwith.
And if you have become a godparent, forewarn your godchild, lest he should
take the false christ for the True. For “the mystery of lawlessness doth
already work."
St Cyril of Jerusalem (circa 315-386)
“For prophecy never came by the
will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit,” says the apostle
Peter (2 Peter 1:21). The apostle Paul calls the writings as divinely-inspired in 2 Timothy 3:16.
Regarding the importance of the Holy Scriptures Jesus said, “Till heaven and earth pass away,
one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled” (Matt. 5:18).
Moses and Aaron are examples of God.s revelations to the prophets. God sent to a very reti-
cent Moses, his brother Aaron as an intermediary. Being inarticulate, Moses.s bafflement as to
how he would expound God.s will to the people was answered by the Lord: “Thou (Moses) shalt
speak unto him (Aaron) and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his
mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. And he shall be the spokesman unto the people: and
he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God”
(Exodus 4:15-16).
Your English is excellent for a secong language!
"Fools for Christ" are saints who acted very strangely in public in order to hide their virtues. Many did strange tings, like running around half dressed in rags, even in the winter, or wearing no clothes at all. Many times they had spiritual gifts of discernment or prophecy. Their podvig (spiritual struggle) is not fit for many, and only was possible because of their deep humility. Two well known "Fools for Christ" are:
* St Xenia of Petersburg
* St Basil (for whom the Great Cathedral in Moscow is named, and who was the only man able to rebuke Tsar Ivan the Terrible, and live)

- Iron Sword of Chastisement chastises the nations
- Great slaughter, revenge, civil war
- for he is approved by you, man yourself John and defeat your enemies!
Rome and the rest, one flock, one shepherd.
the almighty God and glory give to Him
that the time of judgement has come
end of the world, and new world
For the time is close for the Kingdom of Heavens
Helen, the "end of the world, and new world" probably refers to the world after the judgement, not the chiliast idea.
