Secularized Christians Will Not Be Protected From Antichrist (The Temple as a Symbol of the Church)

Excerpted from Lesson 6 presented on March 23, 2023: The Revelation of Jesus Christ to the Apostle & Evangelist John the Theologian, Series 3, by Fr. Peter Heers
"The inner area of the Church will not be trod upon; it will be protected from the attacks of the Antichrist. The outer area of the Church will be trod upon. The inner area of the Church is made up of the faithful, of those who always remain faithful, regardless of the decomposing world around them. They encircle the altar and prove to be the true worshipers of God. The outer area of the Church is made up of all those so-called Christians who wish to be called Christians. They are the Christians of heresy, the lukewarm Christians, the Christians who compromised with the world, the secularized Christians. Such Christians and their secularized churches will not be able to obtain the protection of God, as they will be trod upon by the nations. Christ will not protect such worldly Christianity, such a secularized Church, symbolized here by the outer yard.” -Elder Athanasios Mitilinaios

As someone raised catholic (latin heretic) and nowadays forced to attend a protestant church (Billy Graham/Benny Hill sermons and speaking in tongues types), let me say that Orthodox CZcams always feel like reading the instructor's manual of a textbook.

As a nondenominational Christian I feel as though many of us are being deceived by false teachers. I have been doing alot of research on Orthodox Christianity and I continue to feel drawn to it.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal have mercy on us!

I was like freaking out on here being suspicious of my priest. Honestly he knows all the priests I listen to online. And wow. I was freaking out in fear thinking about ecumenism. But. I should have been honest with him from the get go. I am so amazed and this takes all fear away and I truly admit that God is the greatest. Wow. I am amazed. Please don't make my mistakes. TELL YOUR PRIESTS ABOUR YOUR CONCERNS. TRUST IN GOD.

let us be measured by God!

[@agiasf7330]

Thank you. More please.

[@davidsiracuse6672]

I find myself being drawn to Orthodox Christianity but I cannot Imagine good Christians who truly love and worship God not being accepted by God. I have a real problem with that.

You're correct about one thing. These things ARE taking place on earth right now. Mount athos, Rome, Jerusalem and ALL who have participated in the lies, hypocrisy, and harming of the very least of Jesus' brothers and sisters are being measured right now, before the New Jerusalem comes done from heaven.

What is the interpretation of Ezekiel 40-48?

[@leoandolino4668]

Could those in the gentile court be described as the Virgins who ran out of oil?
