“Archbishop Seraphim of Chicago and Detroit discovered a prophecy about the future of Russia in 1959, in which he saw a certain White Tsar for our state. The bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, Archbishop Seraphim of Chicago and Detroit (1897-1987), visited Palestine in the middle of the last century, after which he shared the prophecy he received there: ‘The Lord, during my first pilgrimage to Palestine, deemed me worthy, a sinner, to be acquainted with certain new, previously unknown prophecies, which shed new light on the fate of Russia.’ The prophecy stated that after the Jews and the Greeks, God would choose a third people, living in the north. This people would embrace Christianity and seek truth. After many years, following a series of significant events, betrayals of faith, and temptations, this people would again strengthen their faith. They would be led by a Tsar, who, through the female line, would be connected to the Romanov dynasty.”
Such is the prophecy. Quite curious, indeed.
Here is another excerpt from the book “The White Tsar”:
“The restoration of the monarchy in Russia, according to prophecies, will take place, roughly speaking, against the backdrop of us hitting rock bottom. There will be nowhere lower to fall. Then people, in large numbers, will come to repentance, praying that God will give them the promised White Tsar, faith, and the Fatherland. And the Lord will then point to His chosen one in fulfillment of all the prophecies. We, the ones reading these prophecies, will be witnesses to their fulfillment. For example, remember what Orthodox Bishop Aristokli wrote just before the 1917 Revolution, Elder Athonian, Alexey Alexeyevich Amfrosyev. Quotation marks open: ‘Evil will soon come to Russia.’ (In parentheses, the Communist Revolution of 1918). And wherever this evil comes, blood will flow. This is not inherent to the Russian soul; this is a deception. It is the spirit of hell. But in the end, Russia will be freed. Believers from Russia will embark on a journey and lead many nations to God. We have a prophecy from ancient times that the rays of the Gospel will come from the east.
Here, Bishop Aristokli is referring to the motif of salvation from the east the culmination of which is the coming of the Kings from the Sun’s rising (in Revelation 16:12 – the kings who will come to replace the fallen western Babylon).”
