Following the Fall of Ertogan what the Metropolitan of Morphou said

Some are trying to scare us a lot, and it is Erdoğan and his entourage. An individual of God told me that with all these intimidation tactics he employs, both in the Aegean and in Thrace, and he is also stirring others up in Skopje and here in Cyprus with our own gas. I have one goal: to fill the hearts of the Cypriots and our leaders, I add this, with fear. The one point we, the fearful Christians of this age, will have is the downfall of Erdoğan. Now, what kind of downfall that will be, I don’t know. It could be political or biological; I don't know, but he will fall. This man, being puffed up with arrogance, will be humbled. I have said that our greatest allies in the modern weak Hellenism, so to speak, are our saints that I mentioned before and Erdoğan himself. His arrogance.

Thus, the one point we should expect is that immediately after him, others will take over — Western allies who won't have the vision of the Ottoman Empire. Nothing serious will happen as long as this Erdoğan is alive; this is certain. Serious things will happen when he falls; this is what our modern saints tell us because he will fall, the one who exalts himself will be humbled. When he falls, then the great things will happen; keep this in mind as a sign. But even when great things happen, Cyprus will have great protection, and it will be greater if we utilize these with much prayer and much repentance. Erdoğan will do little; he is a clever man, yes, but he is an arrogant one, and that will lead him to self-destruction. But being clever, he knows how to negotiate, this man. So, he will achieve little in relation to us; a small episode like Imia might happen, and then Erdoğan will fall. After Erdoğan, others will take over in Turkey, politically clumsy pro-Western Kemalists, and they will be the ones to carry out the grand move. But what will happen is that they will spoil their friendship with Russia; they will infuriate Russia, and who has seen the Russian and has not been afraid of him?

Saint Nephon the Bishop of Constantine Vision of the Second Coming of Je...

Saint Nifon, Bishop of Constantinople, had gone to bed for good. Saint Nifon

had just finished his regular night prayer. He lay down on the stones as he used to, to sleep, but he could not sleep. The time passed,

midnight arrived, and with his eyes still open, he observed the vast sky. with the stars and the moon where it was thus a monk thought of the terrible hour

of judgment he reflected on his sins and began to weep suddenly he sees the firmament of the sky being drawn like a curtain and

appearing from behind the lord jesus christ was a giant and standing meteor in the ether around him were arrayed all the heavenly orders

angels archangels who looked at him in fear and terror with respect and harm much the

lord beckoned to the leader of an order and he came to him full of

splendor and horror Michael lord of the covenant said to him

rise with the order to you the throne of my glory and go to the valley of Jehoshaphat there set it up so that it will be ready in my presence

yes because the time of judgment will not be late so everyone will receive the

recompense for their works make haste the day is near those who

bowed down to idols and denied me their forge will pay those who called the stones gods and the wood he gave them for their needs all these will be

crushed like a potter's vessel as well as my enemies the

heretics dared to separate me from my father those who dared to

demote the implored spirit to a building, woe to them, what hell

awaits them, I will now appear to the Jews who did not believe and crucified me when I was on the cross, they said, oh the destroyer of the temples, save

him now I will tear my authority and i will judge righteously i

will not avenge i will repay i will judge i will control i will stigmatize and punish severely the perverted and wicked generation because i gave them opportunities to repent and they did not

use them now i will take revenge also on the sodomites who polluted

the air and the earth with filth I who burned them will make them again,

because they were apostates of the holy spirit and loved the pleasure of the devil, now they will

also pay for their unwise and Scottish wife, but as the

filman said, each one of his neighbor's wife has

died, so for their foolishness they went in the abyss of fire bound

by Satan they did not hear that they are terrible in the hand of the living God

and yet they did not fear because of it and I will now rebuke them I offered them

repentance and they did not repent I will punish thieves and murderers and all evildoers in tartar I will throw them now I will show them how

damaged they were for not obeying God and his commandments which are

their good works which are their treasure I gave them as an example the prodigal son

but also many others so that they do not fall into despair contempt of my commandments they hated me and loved fornication they

renounced me and sin they were enslaved therefore into the fire which they themselves kindled

he who died island of evil I will deliver them into a terrible turmoil because they did not

love my peace but lived in wrath anger and wickedness he will also destroy the profiteers the usurers and the covetous

those heathens who put their hope in gold and forsook me as if I did not care for them I will also condemn those

Christians who say there is no resurrection of the dead or that there is

reincarnation all of them will I will melt them like wax in heaven and I will make them

ashes in the fire then I will show them whether or not there is a resurrection of the dead

magicians and diviners and astrologers will be completely crushed I will be blown away and

drunkards and drunkards will perish wherever they are thrown in the abyss of their woe

where they sing and dance and astrologers undressed and worn out with their equal play fair and one day I will judge them I called them and not only

did they not listen to me but they even laughed at me to everyone I offered mercy and repentance but no one paid attention to me now the worm will

eat the heart of those who despised the divine scriptures written by my spirit with the hands of my saints I will cast them into

darkness and darkness and because they did not keep my commandments but they mocked, I will now mock them, defeat them, and deliver them

to the fire, and those who resort to witchcraft and magic for healing,

those who think that knives and pickaxes and

sickles and other magical tools will do them good I will control them strictly and then they will learn that they should have hoped in God and not in his creations, of course they will

react, they will complain and find excuses but they will not be able to achieve anything because the time for retribution will come,

of course I will punish the kings too and the rulers who are constantly

swallowing the injustices their decisions were lawless and unjust and arrogant and exhausting for the people

they took gifts and judged biasedly using the law to cover the injustice but my own judgment does not depend on gifts like lord

and god so they will destroy them according to their wickedness and then they will understand that I am the terrible one and take away the spirits

of the lords terrible pa of the kingdom of the earth their calamity hell

awaits them because I have sprinkled them with this tooth and blood of innocents blood

of their sons and daughters in what wrath I will also deliver those clergymen who

were not true shepherds but hirelings those who tended my vineyard

who scattered my sheep who chased the gold and silver who unworthily received the priesthood how terrible will be their punishment how many their suffering

in my wrath and in my anger I stir up those perishable sheep and oxen

they looked to acquire but my rational sheep did not hurt them therefore

I visit with a rod their iniquities and in the scourge of their iniquities as for

the priests who see or quarrel in the holy places my churches in the fire

I will melt them in the tartar I will drown them and like a multitude I will crush them

I am the coming one I came and I am coming again and whoever finds the strength let

him stand before me woe to the lawless who will fall into my hands

for they will stand before me naked and how rough will their way be then, how

will they face my face, that they will hide their turn after it is canceled, my angels, but I will also condemn the monks who lived negligently

and thus did not keep the promises they made before God, the angels and the people but they commanded and did other things so he will

seize them and unite them in the abyss because their own loss was not enough for them but scandalized and glue and others it would have been better for them not to

have renounced the world than to have renounced it and lived sinfully and

therefore I will punish I will repay I will judge as a just judge those who

did not want to repent with terror the innumerable forces of the angels heard the thundering words of the Lord to the

commander in chief Michael bring me the seven centuries of the foundation of the world

now command the archangel the michael immediately went to the victor of the covenant and took them

they were like big books he put them in front of the master and stood aside

watching in awe as he turned the pages of history and read everything that happened through the centuries so the judge took the book

of the first century the he opened and said here first first it is written the father the

son and the holy spirit one god in three persons from the father the

son was born the creator of the ages for by the word of the father the ages were made by the word of the father the heavenly powers were created and by the word of the

father was established the heavens and the earth and all that is in them the spirit and

of his mouth all the power of them then he went a little further down in the

book and said here he writes an image of the vision of god is the first man

adam and the woman his grace to Adam was given by the omnipotent God the creator of all things invisible and visible a blessed earth a

law the observance of this law will be the security of man's blessed life because it will always remind him that there is God above him the gaze

he went further here he writes about the transgression committed by the image of god man was deceived and fell or rather fell through his own negligence and

was therefore expelled from heaven by the just judgment and decision of god because as a vile transgressor he should not have lived amid so many goods he advanced again

a little the kan said he did the devil's will and killed ven

tha taka all in the fire of one because abel remained unrepentant but he will

live eternally and below read form of the blessing the sth image of sanctification the

one and prototype of my ascension the ascension of Enoch

thus turning one page at a time he came to the end of the book and said his book that century here have been written life and death justice and iniquity the

humiliation and pride of the people born in his years each of them will be judged according to with his works in the same way he leafed through the books of the

next five centuries then he took the last one in his hands and said the beginning of the

th century the end of the centuries and the beginning of the wickedness of avarice and

mercilessness men are becoming more wicked now than ever envious

liars hypocrites ambitious covetous and enslaved to all evils he went

a little further in the book he read something and then he raised his eyes up he struck his forehead with his hand he covered his eyes with his palm and

stood still like that for a long time suddenly as if he

really came to his senses he soliloquized this century surpassed in injustice and wickedness the previous six he looked again down in the book and said the heathen and

their idols were broken with my cross and he was crushed with the nail and the nails that you drove into my living body he was silent a little and then he bent down again in the

book 12 lords of the great king said white as light they stirred the

sea they subdued beasts they drowned dragons they gave light to the blind they fed the

hungry they were not rich and above all they fished and regenerated many

people their wages increased below read I the dear one

also chose witnesses for me their friendship ascended to heaven their love reached my throne their desire entered my heart their love

burns me my glory and my strength is with them turned then many genders

and smiled the man who reverently held the helm of the seven-hilled and

took her kingdom, became the servant of my love and became my zealot and imitator, for this the kingdom of heaven belongs to him, then he passed other races

in haste, but on a page he stood and called my nymph, fair and

precious, how many have tried to take you they humiliate you and to Thomas, but you

did not betray me your only past, a thousand heresies fell on you but

the stone on which it was founded does not shake, why don't you go to hell and confiscate

them moving on to the next pages the master said here are written all the

words of men and the the good and the bad that death prevented from being

erased by repentance below were written and all their other sins,

many innumerable like her amo asa, the master read every now and then shaking

his head and sighing heavily while the multitude of angels he stood ecstatic

and terrified by that terrible reading, he had already reached the middle of the

century when he uttered a voice indignant, enough is enough, this

last book is full of the stench of sins, what lies, what vices, what

enemies, what a stench and impurity, that's enough, I'll cut it to the means to abolish

sin once and for all immediately he gave the signal for the judgment to the commander-in-chief Michael who was present he approached with his regiment a regiment so numerous that

not even the earth could contain it they lifted the indescribable throne of the lord and

departed as they left they chanted holy holy lord awesome great

high admirable and glorified for ever and ever, then departed the

commander-in-chief Gabriel with his own regiment, melodiously singing the epinician hymns,

holy, holy, holy, lord of hosts, the earth is full of his glory, and from that

awesome myrios tomi, angelic hymn, heaven and earth third

the commander-in-chief Raphael was dismissed with his own battalion, singing to the

holy Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father, amen, at last the fourth division departed, its leader, Uriel, was as white as

snow, the seductive Lofoten, on his departure, sang, and

he was excited, he shouted and called the earth from from sunrise to sunset,

for the dignity of his beauty, the god is clearly our god, and the silence

of the fire before him sit down and his circle against the earth fiercely and the

remaining verses of the psalm, the officials again cried out,

God has judged the earth, that you are an inheritance in all the

nations, blessed is he who is coming, that he is coming to judge the earth and the world in

truth and justice, then they brought before the master his glorified

cross that shone like lightning and smelled unspeakably they held him in great reverence and honor two ranks the powers and the

powers the matter was terrible shocking as they slowly advanced the powers sang exalt to my god my king and bless your name

forever and ever century and the powers

antiphonary before the footstool of his feet that the saint is then given

to the earth and the commander-in-chief Michael came again immediately he appeared before the master together with another angel who held something like

a bow which was white to pink and in the at the beginning of it hung a large trumpet, that

trumpet was covered on the outside with fluff and on the inside covered with something like ashes, on its outer surface it was written resurrection of the dead and

in the inner life of the devoutly and burning a gentleman in his hands he blew the trumpet

three times and said three secrets reasons then he gave it to the archangel Michael and said to him take this trumpet and go to Golgotha ​​where

I stretched out on the cross my happy hands there let him blow the trumpet three times and wait

then I called another battalion the authorities and he says to their leader take the

holy your order and spread throughout the world raise up on clouds the saints from the east and the west the north and the south and bring them to

meet me as soon as the trumpet sounds with another angel command that

heaven and earth be transformed from corruption to incorruption and the sun and the moon become dark and

the stars fall and the rivers dry up and the

seas die everything

the righteous judge cast after looking at the earth and carefully observed mist and darkness everywhere lamentation and wailing of many human voices and groaning from the heavy

tyranny of satan freezes and the dragon destroys

everything, treading on them like grass as he saw the angels of God preparing the eternal fire for him, seeing all this evil, Jesus

calls a fiery angel, he had a stern look, a hard look and a merciless expression,

he was the leader of of angels who oversee the fire of hell and

says to him go and take my rod that crushes and binds and take a myriad of

angels from your order the most able and eloquent those who are appointed to impose the punishments you will go to the imaginary sea you will find art

of the dragon you will seize him with authority and beat him with the rod if he becomes fat until he surrenders to you the tot of

his spirits and then they will be

tightly bound and severely tortured when the angelic order left to arrest the

lord of darkness divine command was given to the archangel who held the trumpet to sound the trumpet of perfect health everywhere as if everything were dead the

first trumpet was sounded and the bodies of the dead were restored a second trumpet was sounded and as if the spirit of the lord from his trumpet put every soul

into the dead body again awe and fear seized every existence

terror and horrors were spread in the heavens and on the earth, and a third trumpet blast was heard, more

terrible ,

which shook the worlds

. towards the throne of preparation chanting aloud holy holy holy lord of hosts the earth was full of fear and

terror all the people and the innumerable angelic ranks stood and tita if

on high waiting with phrygia for the terrible divine power to descend on earth suddenly but

thunder and lightnings tore the air while a terrible earthquake shook the court of judgment, all were bewildered and began to tremble, the firmament of the

sky was drawn back like a curtain and behind it appeared the honest cross,

shining like the sun and scattering divine glitters, it was held by the holy

angels, opening the way for our lord jesus christ the judge of the

world, in a little while the unheard-of praise was heard as if the

this hymn was the judge on the clouds sitting on a throne high and

fiery and with his super-bright eyes he suddenly descends from the crowd of

resurrected ones some began to climb into the ether on the clouds to

meet their lord but alas most remained below

dinosaurs that did not deserve to be seized and they fell drugged their souls from the fat and fell

on their knees before the master but rose again without effect around

the throne of preparation where the great judge was seated all the heavenly powers lined up with fear and terror on his right stood all those who

had been caught up from the clouds the slaves were led to his left

and they were Jewish lords high priests priests kings and a great number of

monks and laity stood before themselves ashamed of talent

and thrones painted bright blue

the heavy catechins

was spread out among them all he sighed deeply, others groaned with

heartbreak, others wailed, shedding a river of tears, and others had sunk into a

hopeless deathly silence, there was no consolation, no hope,

on the contrary, those who stood on the right hand of the judge were all fierce and bright as the sun, all modest, glorified and bright as the light, all flaming as if

from a divine phrase they really shine, if

one dare not say it like their lord and god present, the terrible

judge cast his gaze and on the other side to the right looked with

satisfaction and a sweet smile blossomed at his side he then turned and to those who were on the left he immediately became agitated and hurriedly took his gaze

from above them loud and commanding now his voice was heard saying to them behold the blessed of my father you have inherited the dishonored

kingdom of us from the payment of the world with I am hungry, for here too, do not eat or drink,

a stranger, do not bring me in naked and surround me with you and watch over

me in prison and you came to me. Then they asked him with a question,

sir, when did we see you hungry and did we eat or were we thirsty? for we have never seen you

as a stranger, and he brings you naked, and they are thrown into your idol, sick or in prison

, and they came to you, and he answered them, Amen, I say, since I have done this

to the least of my brothers, and then he turned angrily

to the others on his left. and he said to them with severity and abhorrence, depart from me you who are accursed into eternal fire, prepare it for the devil and

his angel, they were hungry and did not give me anything to eat, I was thirsty, and you did not bring me in as

a stranger, and do not bring me in naked, and do not surround me with the sick and in

prison and they asked him,

sir, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or sick in prison and in the court, yes,

yes, yes, yes, I say we, since you did not do this

to the least of the least, nor did you do anything to me.

the gnashing of teeth where you will be tyrannized will mourn eternally as soon as the judge announced his great decision there

suddenly poured out from the east a huge river of fire rushing towards the west it was as wide as the sea as sinners on the

left saw it rippled and creaked from the terror immediately the judge ordered to pass through this river all those righteous and sinners to be

tested by fire first those who stood on the right entered they all passed and

were tested and came out as pure gold through the flames their works not only did not burn but they were shown brighter and purer by

this trial with indescribable joy the righteous saw that no filth was found in their good works then followed those who

stood on the left to be tried our own works too if their flames passed through the fire they burned because they were sinners and

he trapped them in the middle of the river their works were burned and they saved straw but

their bodies were left to burn with the devil and the demons none of them managed to get out of that fiery river as

worthy of condemnation and punishment ahmat her all from the fire since the sinners were thrown into hell and thrown from the flames to the various places of

of punishments, the terrible judge rose from his throne and moved for his heavenly nymph, all his saints followed him and

the heavenly powers surrounded him with fear and terror, chanting, therefore, our lords are the gate, and he was taken eternally, and I enter, O

Lord of glory, and god together with his saints and grants them the eternal

crown to them and other wonderful songs the holy angels sang causing inexpressible joy to those who heard them singing thus

they entered with the master and his saints the heavenly chambers of the divine nymph skertz from joy and bystanders

closed then Jesus called the leaders of the archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel were introduced and then the

others then the 12 luminaries of the world the holy apostles were called the master gave them

paper glory brilliant gave them 12 firecrackers

made them sit near to him their teacher with many honors

their glory was a light eternal indescribable and apr the neighbors were gold yellow and

shining though precious and even the archangels looked at them with admiration finally Christ gave them and 12 crystal crowns adorned with

precious stones which glittered blindingly as glorious angels bore them above their heads then they brought before the heavenly king his

70 disciples and apostles and they were given similar honors and glories

only that their crowns were less brilliant than the others on d 12 then presented the holy martyrs a whole army to them was given the office and

position of the great angelic order that had fallen from heaven with Lucifer immediately brought them innumerable crowns that shone

like the sun and they adorned their sanctified heads with these and they divinely

rejoiced and an unspeakable embrace was followed by a holy passage of the holy

hierarchs, priests and deacons, he was crowned with eternal and amaranth wreaths but

different in brightness and glory, each according to his work, his zeal, his

patience and his love, so you saw many priests being more glorious than high priests but and many deacons to be more brilliant than priests and

high priests, but the faces of all of them shone with grace, cheerfulness and

joy, even the mental heavenly altar was granted to them so

that they could offer them eternally the perfect and pleasing sacrifice to God, now

it was their turn of the reverent monks from their ossuary room starting a spiritual fragrance and their glorified faces shone like the sun spreading

theophron on each of six wings and thus with the power of the holy spirit they all became like the horrible cherubs and seraphim then began to chant loudly

holy holy holy Lord Sabaoth complete all the earth of his glory their glory

was three greatest and the suppression their wreaths according to the struggles and sweats of each one behind the holy monks entered the dance of the holy

prophets they were given the song of the hymns the psalm of david with

drums and with dances the light of lightning beyond and the praise of the holy spirit his own crowns were

all gold and suddenly the lord of the divine nymph asked them to sing something and they praised him with a song so beautiful that he squealed with joy all

the assembled saints, after they had all received their gifts from the timeless hand of the

savior, were still waiting for those goods, which no eye has seen and which has not heard and

which has not entered the heart of man, but then entered the dance of the people who were saved in the world poor and rich rulers and subjects slaves

and free all stood before the divine bridegroom the master first he

singled out those who were merciful and bestowed upon them the bounty of the paradise of eden heavenly palaces and bright crowns precious sanctification euphoric

thrones and scepters and angels bright to they serve them followed by those who became for Christ poor in spirit they were now exalted

exceedingly they received from the hand of the lord beautiful crowns and inherited the

kingdom of heaven then came the mourners those who wept for

their sins with fervent repentance and were given great consolation of the holy triad and the pander pno joy of paradise to now and the price and

poor who have inherited the land of promise where the spirit of God is distilled and its fragrance how much delight and exultation I saw

how they won bliss and how their souls leaped with pleasure when the master adorned them with wreaths of roses elaborate wings after them came those

who hungered and thirsted for justice were given the wages of justice rich to be satisfied and with their good will euphranorus

is praised and honored and glorified by the holy angels his own crowns were brilliant those fashioned with much art

then stand out even from the lord the pure heart like them he gave powerful secret eyes and spiritual vision stronger than the light to

see the face of god clearly for the ages of the ages he also gave them peculiar crowns that behind and in front had crystal crosses while on the right

and left painted cherubic eyes then they gathered in a group

the peacemakers were given the peace and wisdom of the spirit of god and

prosperity and mercy and illumination from the light of christ an invisible hand holding a heavenly pen approached them and wrote on their foreheads

jesus christ son of his god at the end of their lives they were also given crowns with wings that had the names of the father and the son and the

holy spirit written on them. Then they came and were persecuted because of

righteousness

. from the divine retinue of gold whose brightness made the dances of the angels rejoice followed by those who endured

reviling and persecution and calumny for Christ's sake they received the holy blessing of God and the praise of his angels and more honor and

glory were bestowed upon them and thrones

in various ways to the Lord those who on the one hand repented of their sins

but on the other hand did not lead a consistent spiritual life with prayers and fasting and with what else our church prescribes unlearn their works but did not work

diligently and precisely for the goods and you were spared the bridegroom told them the bridegroom said to them and gave them only a stick as a sign that

they would not die so as not to be thrown into the fire but to be placed in a place that leaves

neither bright nor gloomy behind them came others who had done many benevolences and innumerable mercies but because they fell either to the censure and reproach

of their fellow men or to fleshly sins, they also fell into the lower darkness with the mist and dampness, where as soon as some

faint glimmers of light arrive, after them entered the idolatrous multitude, many who

did not know the law of Christ but they were led by their conscience and kept it unrecognized they were those who had to show the work of the law

written in their hearts the testimony of their

conscience many of them shone like the sun from its purity and purity they were called to judge the heavenly kingdom and

the pleasure of God he was crowned and with wreaths beautifully woven with roses and

lilies one only brought b heavy that he was unbaptized as unbaptized they were blind and

could not shake the glory and the light of God because holy baptism is light and eye of the soul and whoever is deprived of it

no matter how well he does inherits heaven and tastes something of its fragrance and sweetness but sees nothing the pagans followed another order of saints they were

children of Christians who left life prematurely they all looked 30 years old

or less the bridegroom gave them a sympathetic look and said your christening shirt is spotless works but nowhere so what can I do with you then

they also say bravely our lord you have deprived us of your heavenly goods don't

deprive us at least of the heavenly ones the bridegroom smiled and gave them the eternal goods he gave them wreaths of faith and ignorance and acacia and blessedness,

the heavenly armies looked at them with great admiration, but they themselves also wore their eternal wreaths with joy, it was a wonder to hear the angels who,

seeing the orders of all the saints gathered together, sang hymns

and gloom and divine pleasure when therefore all these had entered the nymph and

they had been crowned, the righteous one saw the bridegroom presented, a theophile

voice sounded bright and terrible and venerable together as soon as the holy angels saw her,

she sparkled with joy and bliss from her feet as she marched,

a thunderous passage poured forth from her path, she spread a heavenly fragrance as if

she were clothed with divine perfumes with robes regal on the outside in crimson crimson and on the inside a white

linen tunic on her broad head she wore a divine crown and had no equal in splendor and beauty

Angels amazed and dazzled by the saints observed the divine rays scattered all around from that heavenly diadem as the the bride entered the

hymn, a number of the virgins appeared behind the crowd, who followed her

singing and glorifying the greatness of God, when she came near the bridegroom, she worshiped him three times together with all those holy virgins, and he,

smiling joyfully, bowed his head and honored her like his chaste mother

then she crossing her arms shyly approached him with much reverence

and grace and kissed his eyes and even his tender

hands after that divine kiss the lord bestowed upon the virgins glittering dresses and graceless wreaths afterwards came the mental powers and the dances

of the saints, they all worshiped the Mother of God with all joy and sang hymns and

blessings and great hymns to her with their hands raised in holy enthusiasm, then

the Nephis rose from his throne and having on his right his most blessed mother and on the on the left the great and wonderful prophet and forerunner passed

from the nymph into the divine chamber where the unknown and unheard of things were,

and thanks to those who loved God with him

entered that holy and wonderful chamber all the saints who had just seen those goods were possessed by unspeakable rejoicing and gaiety

then in a delirium of heavenly joy began to dance and sing and celebrate these things but the

philotheo of Nipho could not describe them to me, although I pressed him very much, do not tell me the slightest thing, I cannot, he said only groans, let me present with my tongue or to

parm with some earthly things the heavenly were beyond all imagination and comparison beyond all thought and vision beyond all visible and invisible

therefore when the lord distributed to his saints the goods that were there he commanded the cherubim to circle the heavenly chamber as the wall encircles a city he

then commanded the seraphim to encircle the cherubim the thrones the seraphim the dominions the thrones the principalities the dominions the powers in the principalities and the

powers the authorities as the wall encircles a city the one order encircled the other forming seven overlapping diazomes to the right of the eternal

chamber stood in perfect formation Michael and his regiment on the left lined up with great reverence Gabriel and his own regiment Raphael in the

east and Uriel in the west with their own these positions we took to the lands of the lord their ranks were vast and together with the ranks of the

godless circle powers the chamber of the god with much splendor after all

this and the lord the son of the god submitted to his father who had submitted to him everything and he surrendered to him all the kingdom and

dominion and authority which he had given him he himself again entered the

divine and inaccessible chamber heir of his father and king and high priest

eternal together with all the co-heirs end of the mysteries which

the righteous one of Niphos was entitled to face the father and begator himself saw this terrible revelation,

the inaccessible and incomprehensible light suddenly arose, shining above that vast chamber of

divine dignity and above the circular ranks of the angelic orders, it illuminated the chamber as the sun illuminates the world brake the with the foam

of his divinity and the divine heat of his light all the saints and as a sponge soaks up and holds water so the saints absorbed the

paternal divinity and united with it to live eternally with God in

his kingdom from then on there was neither night nor day for them there was only

god and father son and spirit light and tender life and splendor pleasure and indulgence now

the earth was spread absolute in the eyes of the blessed one, he was given heavenly sight to

see the last mysteries the first order that circled the chamber received as an eternal inheritance a chant pander pno sacred addictive present therefore the divine and

awesome that order began the afra his praise while the saints of Sirtu are moved by joy and they too are motivated in thanksgiving and injection of the Lord from the

first order that indescribable hymn was transmitted to the second to the seraphim and they also began to sing a hymn that was harmonious and incomprehensible which like honey

sweetened all the senses of the saints with their eyes saw the unattainable light with their sense of smell they smelled the fragrance of god with

their ears they heard the divine hymn of the immortal powers with their mouth they tasted new the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ with their hands

they felt the eternal goods and with their feet they danced in indescribable beauty of the heavenly chamber supremely tender incomprehensible

vibrations divine that hymn from the second to the third order and from the third to the fourth and in all the following in order as it became

[music] of infinity with the words

honey-gold the majesty of that melody, the most exquisite thing was that not

all the orders sang the same hymn but many and varied unknown and

unheard of heavenly and divine hymns, each order his own which,

however, intertwine and bind each other perfectly like calotine in the angelic armies glorifying God and praising
