It was addessed by Chist to a "chosen" peope who had a deep sense of hieachy and oyaty to its edes. God, the paabe says, "desied to esume the fuit" (v. 34) which by ight beonged to Him, namey obedience to His wi, espect to His wod. Yet He was denied this by th ose vey peope who wee abouing in His own winepess (v. 33). The husbandmen not ony ignoed and wounded His sevants (v ). who wee acting in the name of thei Maste, but even shameessy kied the son of the househode (v ). This is no mee intimation of the Incanation of Chist. Histoy unfotunatey epeats itsef, due to ou shot-ived memoy. Fo God is aways entusting His w inepess to His aboues; and He is daiy demanding o f thefui though His sevants. In evey age, howeve, thee ae those who - consciousy o unconsciousy - appopiate the fuit, beieving that it beongs to them. This paabe eveas the esponsibiity of eveyone befoe the m ystey that is the Chuch. At each moment of the day, whethe at home o at wok, indoos o out, sevants of God appoach u s in seach of the fuit that beongs to God. In eac h peson that we meet, we ae in fact encounteing a messenge of God. Utimatey. what is of cucia impotance is not the teasue that we hod (that is God's) but the peson with whom we ae shaing it; what is of utmost significance is not the vitue o piety that we caim (that again is God's), but the neighbou whom we ove; what we sha be judged fo Iv ) is not so much the way we think of o beieve in God, as the way in which we espond to and espect (v. 37) ou immediate neighbou. It is not a cetain success that is needed, but a pesona eationship; not consumption but communion. Nevetheess, this paabe futhe efects on ou undestanding - o athe m isundestanding - aso of hieachy in the estabishment of the Chuch. It is unfotunate that Chuches with a vey c ea sense of tadition and episcopacy often tend to expo it these stuctues and va ues, educing them to consevatism and despotism. Howeve, the pobem ies not so much in the Chuch as such, which intepets both of these as esponsibiity and communion of ove. Rathe, the difficuty ies in ou "ay" expeience of them. Chistians fequenty expect a pecise guideine and mathematica soution fom th ei eades, instead of pesonay and esponsiby feeing out thei own savation in thei daiy eation ships and activities. The peson who appoaches you is the sevant of G od and you owe him God's fuit. namey ove. Thee is no need to question his authoity: his authenticity is exposed by you vey communion with him. Yet we ike to abuse the hieachy by adapting them to become ou spiitua secuity: we fee at peace, that we ae obedient to the wi ot God and yet we oveook the peson in font of us. You cannot ook beyond the peson befoe you; to do so is to oveook God. And in that case, ony God knows... what He wi do to us Iv ). F J. C. ""Iio

7 Chist and Antichist A wave of fea and panic has enteed among ou faithfu, both in Geece and aboad, duing the past two yeas with egad to the numbe 666, the sign with which the Reveation of St. John chaaceises the "Beast", that is the Antichist. Seeing the agony of simpe peope about a that is said and witten in this espect, one is teiby saddened wondeing what one ccoud do to offe them consoation and peace. Fo suey the nightmaes fom which ou peope suffe ae no few - incuding the economic cisis of ecent yeas, the dange of cance o of AIDS, poitica instabiity, the impending wa with Tukey and many othe evis - and it wou d not be necessay fo the "chuch' to add a futhe nightmae. We ae peased to pint in this issue a ong atice fom the Monastey of Stavonikita in an attempt to offe enightenment with paticua in teest on evey individua question wi th espect to this "isky tak", Suppementing in some way this theoogica text of Mount Athas, we sha pesent hee some thoughts, with the pupose of eminding ou faithfu of some simpe but saving tuths. a) We need to have not ony geat cae but iteay awe and fea of God, when we ae to intepet a passage of Hoy Sciptue, paticuay the book of the Reveation which is the most difficui pophetic text that speaks in an especiay symboica anguage. et us not foget that the Fathes of the Chuch, in thei attempt to appoach God's wod fom evey poss ibe viewpoint, gave many intepetations often to the sa me passage. Futhemoe, et us not foget that even the God-beaing Fathes with much humiity consuted the best among th emseves with espect to the intepetation o f difficu t passages of the Hoy Sciptue, in o de to avoid the dange of faing into eo in mattes of faith. Finay, in the event of not finding a satisfactoy answe fom the pesona expanations of the God-beaing Fathes, the unique and absoute citeion was aways the voice of the Chuch, which is expessed not though the moath of one individua but with the officia vedict of the Synod. Since, theefoe. ou Chuch has not ponounced, officiay though a Synod, any ve dict with espect to any concete action of a contempoay nation (money notes, poice 1.0. cads etc.). et us eave aside th e numbe 666, which cannot have any magica powe at a. at east fo those who beieve and eveence the "easonabe woship" of the iving God. b) The message which Jesus Chist bought to the wod is ca ed, as is known, "New Testament"and "Gospe". Both these names expess most chaacteisticay the definitive guaantee and joy that the faithfu fee fo the death of Death and fo the aboition of sin, both "woked out" once fo a by the od. Such guaantee and joy of the faithfu ae not at a compatibe wih the panic and fea of 666, which testifies to a mechanica and magica undestanding of God's wod, athe than to the feedom of the spiit, "by which Chist ibeated us" (Ga. 5 : 1). In such an atmosphee of fea and panic, SI John Chysostom's wods utteed with doxoogica assuance to the ue of dakness afte Chist's Resuection woud constitute a caicatue: "Whee is you victoy, 0 Hades? Whee is you sting, O Death?"Theefoe, the pimay fea of the faithfu shoud not be the pesence of the Ant ichist in thewod - wh ich is eveywhee and aways given, but wh ich is at the same time aboished whee Chist is confessed - but the downfa fom coect faith and fom God's sa ncti fying gace safeguaded by the Mysteies of th e Chuch. c) Athough the Second Coming of the od wi appea as "a thief in fhe night" and wi finay tansfom the wod, yet we Chistians know that afte Chist's Ascension and the Coming of the Paacete we ive aeady fom now the age of the "eschaton ". This means that evey minute of ou day can be of decisive Significance fo ou savation o ou damnation. At east that is the way to intepet the eschatoogica message of the Apostes and especiay of St. Pau, who designated the daiy ife of a Chistian as the "acceptabe time" and as the "day of savation" (2 Co. 6 : 2). et us emembe that it was pecisey though this daiy ife that St Pau decaed that "the od is nea" (Phi. 4: 5). d) The fact that the "Second Coming" of the od wi constitute the geat "supise" since "concening that day and hou no one knows" (Matt. 24 : 36) does not mean that the pemanent pesence of the od in ou daiy ife is in any way doubted. The diffeence between the two foms of pesence is not "of time ", as if thee eve was a time without the definitive pesence of the od, "who is eveywhee pesent and fis a ceation". The diffeence is puey "q uaitative"" which means that the unceasing pesence of the od in the wod befoe the Second Coming is the pesense of the Paacete, that is stengthening and consoation, whie the opeation of the Second Coming is judgement and fina tansfomation. e) Since a vey cuious "emboidey" ecenty cicuates in Geece unofficiay but widey by way of adveti sement, which when paced befoe a bent gass eay pesents the fom of Satan with hons, tai, wings etc., we shoud expicity decae the foowing: If indeed the new 1.0. cads to be issued in Geece ae going to be in any way e ated with such demonoogica embems in the fom descibed, the Chuch shoud openy fight the chaenge and ca its faithfu to efuse such 1.0. cads. This shoud be done of couse not out of fea fo demonic infuence, but out of divine indignation a this basphemy. Again, if this is not tue, the Chuch shoud condemn a those who with such demagogic and pofane ";ugging" disub the peace of the peope and aso sande the nation. As fo the so caed "unified code numbe" which is said to be used in Geece fo the moe sys tematic and the quicke egistation of the citizens, we shoud say that thee is nothing against it fom a puey theoogica and spiitua viewpoint. Fom the moment, howeve, that this system egads pesons as numbes and encoaches openy on the citizen's feedom and esponsibiity, the pobem that is ceated is no onge simpy constitutiona and poitica, but aso moa and extemey theoogica, in which case the Chuch shoud again expess its cea position, in ode to potect the saced and invioate human peson. + A.

8 It is tue that an uneasiness and distubance has been noticed ecenty in many pious Chistians, spinging fom discussions and pubications efeing to events that ae to take pace towads the end of the wod, the signs of these times, concening the antichist, and in genea the intepetation of the Book of Reveatio n. The Second Coming of the od To give some answe which woud detemine the time of the second Coming of the od is not natuay possibe, seeing that the od Himsef tes us: "Watch theefoe, fo you do not know what hou you od is coming. "(Matt. 24 : 42) and that "... and that Day comes on you unexpectedy.. Fo it wi come as a snae on a those who dwe on the face 01 the whoe eath. (uke 21 : 34b, 35). And theapos11e Pe1e 'But the day of the od wi comes as a thief in the night," (2 Pete 3: 10a) and "Behod. I am coming as a thiec (Rev. 16 : 15a). It is not theefoe up to us to examine and be peoccupied about topics which the od deemed shoud stay excusivey and ony within His au thoity and knowedge. And fo those who may pehaps be impatient, the Aposte Pete wites: "Bu, beoved, do not foget this one thing, that one day is with the od as a thousand yeas, and a thousand yeas as one day. The od is not sack concening His pomise, as some count sackness, but is ongsuffeing towad us. not desiing thai any shoud peish but that ai/ shoud come to epentance.' (2 Pete 3: 8, 9). It becomes cea that a chonoogica detemin ation o f the day 01 th e od cannot exist. We know Iha aeady we have enteed into the ast times ' The od is a hand." (Piippians 4: 5b).... fo the time is nea." (Rev. 1 : 3b). "Now ai/ these things happened to them as exampes. and Ihey wee witten fo ou admonition, on whom the ends ohe ages have come. (1 Co. 10: 11) and that one day w ith the od a thousand yeas and that the end w i be detemined by God's toebeaance. (see aso 1 Thess. 5: 1-10). But of what benefit woud the knowedgeofthe hou and day of the coming of the od be, even if it wee possibe, seeing we ae motas and don't know the hou of ou death? And even if we knew the m oment of ou death what woud that mean? That we woud be abe to sin feey and to epent a itte befoe ou death? Is sin something good that God depives us of? O is it the souce of evey unhappiness to man, his destucti on, seeing it sepaates him fom the Souce of i fe? Fo the peson who wants to be tue in his ife. sin constitutes the most hated and epusive expeience of his exisence and he avoids it in evey way, without taking into account his ife span. and without making his spiitua stugge dependent upon when the Second Coming of the od wi take pace. and in this way he is aways eady, fo eithe death o the Comi ng of the od. The Signs of the Second Coming of the od Theefoe, don't any signs exist to wan us in advance that, in some way, the day of the od is appoaching? The od Himsef tes us: "And they asked Him, saying. ' Teache, but when wiihese things be? And wha sign wiihee be when these things ae abouia ake pace? And He said: 'Take heed that you not be deceived. Fo many wi come in My name, saying. '/ am He, and the time has dawn nea.. Theefoe do not go afte them. 'But when you hea of was and camma ions, do not be teified; fo these things must, Atice Io m M OfS ICI y 0 1 $ Iavokita. M oui Athos. 96 ON THE AST DA YS* come to pass fist, but the end is not immediate.... (uke 21 : 7-9). The question about the signs that wi pecede the Second Coming of the od has aways existed in man and that is why the od uges us to be caefu, not to be m ised because this subject in paticua w i become the object o f expo itation by many w ho indeed wi caim to come in the name of the od and w i say the time has dawn nea. The od though stesses categoica y not to poced behind them, not to foow them. Sti, was wi occu and vaious disodes w hich as is expained futhe on, incude was, geat eathquakes, famine. epidemics. pesecutions. etc.. and being confonted with a these things the od te s us we shoud not be afaid and become confused, because a these have to happen, but again the end has not yet come. The od. then. answeing the question of what signs wi pecede and suggest His Second Coming. efes geneay to the signs that w i take pace in the inteva of time fom His eathy ife unti His Second Coming. w ithout making known to us. some sign that wi specificay co ntain a suggestion of His Second Coming. Two things ae sue and known, IIat I)e hou, the day o f the od is known excusivey a nd o n y by God and thai it wi come ike a tap and the thie f in the night. The Chistian's Pepaation I's not he duty of a CIHistian to wonde about times and yeas w h ich God has paced unde His own authoity. but to be pepaed so that wheneve the od o f goy decides to come he is found eady to ente into His Heaveny Kingdom. Bessed is that sevant whom his maste wi find so doing when he comes... (uke 12: 13). Ready is he who patakes in the i ving Body of the od, in the Chuch, and oves Him with a His 11ea, with a his SOU, with a his mind and with a his stength. (uke 10 : 27) and eceives the Gace at the hoy Spiit 'Knowingy and sensitivey" (St. Symeon, New Theoogian ), and has the excusive concen in his ife to cay out diay His Hoy Wi and to pu t into pactice His Hoy Commandments. T hen one begins to tuy paticipate in and expeience the Kingdom o f God, as much as is possibe o man in thi s pesent ife, something which wi aso continue natuay afte the Second Coming of the od. Then one entes into the situation of the sheep and athe time o f the Judgem ent wi no t have any anxiety, but as a esut of the identity (i.e. as a sheep) he has acquied, w i be ted by the Righ1eous Judge to the Kingdom pepaed by the Fathe. ''And when He was asked by the Phaisses when the kingdom of God woud come. He answeed them and said. 'The kingdom of God does not come with obsevation: no wi they say. 'See hee.!' o 'See thee!" Fo, indeed. the kingdom o f God is within you. (uke 17 & ). The o ny time one eay shoud be distubed, uneasy and anx ious about, is w hen one doesn't epent of his evi deeds and: "And the est of mankind, who wee not kied by these pagues, sti did not epent of the woks of thei hands, that they shoud not woship demons. and idos of god, sive. bass, stone, and wood. which can neithe see no hea no wak: and they did not epent of thei mudes no thei soceies no thei sexua immoaity no thei thefts. (Rev. 9 : 20, 21). One shoud be distubed when he doesn t cae fo his sou, when he's not incuded in the saying "... Bessed is he who watches, and keeps his gaments, est he wak naked and they see his shame '. (Rev ). because then he wi not be witten (i ncuded) in the Book of ife and "And a who dwe on the eath wi woship him. whose names have not been witten in the Book of ife of the

9 amb who was sain fom the foundation of the wod". (Rev. 13: 8). "And anyone not found witten in the Book of ife was cast into the ake of fie." (Rev. 20 : 15). This "beast" is the devi who aways fights the sevants of God in vaious ways, with pesecutions and totues, that geneay occued duing the fist thee centuies and afte then aways existed in vaious paces, with heesies, with schisms, with fase bethen, with the ove of this wod and the diffeent passions, etc. And tuy one is in dange of feaing th e devi's geat powe and authoity and being impessed by his accompishments, if one doesn't notice that hi s au th oity has no powe ove those witten in the book of ife and 10 seaed sevants of God "... Do not ham the eath, the sea, o the tees ti we have seaed the sevants of ou God on thei foeheads." (R ev. 7 : 3). The A-Powefu Gace of God Nevetheess, no one eve, neithe man, no ange o any oth e ceated thing wi be abe, even fo one moment, to hinde the amighty and ai-powefu Gace of the iving Ti une God fom enteing at a times, into the sous of a wh o want this and to food them "knowingy and sensitivey" with the unceated Gace of the A-Hoy Spiit, the tue and etena ife, and to make them paticipants of the Heaveny Kingdom of th e God-man Jesus. Ev ey distubance, evey fea, evey hesitation and fateing, when confonted with th e activities of the devi, of the pesent and th e futue, and even those of the antichist, (see " Thessaonians " 2 : 1-12) ae a dispay of a ack of faith in th e M ighty and iving God who examines minds and heats, in Him who is the "Apha and the Omega, Who is and wh o was and Who is to come, the Amight". (Rev. 1 : 8). Ony fo th e peson who hasn 't fet the saving expeience of th e Gace of th e Hoy Sp iit: who hasn't fet with a his being the ife-giving powe 01 the Hoy Mysteies of th e Chuch, who hasn 't decided to die fo his sef and to i ve fo Chist, is it eay possibe to be feafu and distubed. This spiit is ceay taught 10 us by the Hoy Matys, Righteous Ones and a the saints, each one in thei own way, who showed contempt, who fought and wee victoious ove the va i ous methods of the evi one, because the Divine ove infamed thei heats. because th ey wee waed aound with th e Hoy Mysteies (Sacaments) of the Chuch and with the tue fai th. because thei daiy and pincipa concen was to do His Hoy Wi : because, fina y, the Kingdom of God was a daiy expeience of thei whoe existence, which didn't eave th em any magin fo anything fase and deceptive. And et not anyone think of the temptati ons and the suffeings of the Saints as being easy o sma, but athe of God's gace as being geat and powefu, which gave them th e stength to pass th ough and be victoious ove temptations and difficuties and totue, whi ch wee unimagineabe in thei extent and unthinkabe in th ei cunningness. Neveth eess. in spite of a these, if thee is someone who th inks th at the futue temptations wi be stonge, at east et him not think demeaningy concening the AIIpowefu God and His in fi nite ove, because even in thi s case God wi give us stenght and wisdom and His Gace supeabundanty, so that with ease we wi be abe to esist and defeat any pots of the evi one. "And afte these things I head a oud voice of a geat mutitude in heaven, saying, 'Aeuia!' Savation and goy and honou and powe to the od ou God! Fo tue and ighteous ae His judgments, because He has judged the geat haot who coupted the eath with he fonication: and He has avenged the bood of His sevants at he hand. And again th ey said, 'Aeuia! and he smoke ises up foe ve and eve! et us be gad and ejoice and give Him goy'... " (Rev. 19 : 1-3, 7a).
