An appeal to Christians of Ukraine

Dear faithful of all Ukrainian Christian Churches,

we turn to you in this historic hour when spiritual and physical existence of Ukraine is being decided. Unfortunately, Christian shepherds in most cases neglect their duty to give you a healthy spiritual pasture of orthodox teaching associated with the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit. From the West there comes both doctrinal and moral decay to Ukraine, which destroys the very essence of Christianity. Western Christianity, with the honourable exceptions, is silent on or approves of homosexuality, syncretism with the spirit of paganism and heresies which cast doubt upon the divinity of Christ, His historical and real resurrection and Divine inspiration of the Holy Scripture. On this basis, false ecumenism is constructed, or rather globalization of apostatical Christianity and pagan religions. This is a betrayal of Christ and of the Gospel. On 1 May 2011, Pope Benedict XVI caused the biggest scandal when he beatified the apostate John Paul II who authoritatively embodied the spirit of New Age – the spirit of antichrist – in the Church through the Assisi event. By his gesture in Assisi, where he prayed with the pagan leaders, he manifested that Christianity and paganism are equal paths to salvation. And that is haeresis maxima. God’s Word clearly says that pagans worship demons.

Church hierarchy instead of encouraging Christians to true conversion and repentance, through which God wants to save Ukraine, is doing quite the opposite. It preaches antirepentance – unites with the spirit of the world and forms unity with the worldwide semi-secret organization of Freemasons. Specifically, the matter involves initiations into the so-called orders of knighthood such as the “Sovereign Christian Military Order of St. Michael the Archangel”, “Order of St. Stanislas” or “Registered Cossacks”. Catholic bishops and even Bishop of the Orthodox Church – Kiev Patriarchate (2 October 2011) took an active part in those ceremonies and provided their cathedral churches for that purpose. These “orders” have nothing in common with the following of Christ or Christianity, but they have unity of spirit with Masonic principles which are anti-Christian. In Ukraine, these orders nowadays take roots with the help of the apostatical Church hierarchy. The spirit of amorality and death is now promoted by the UN, EU, WHO and through financial subsidies from the West.

This year, the LGBT Council (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons) has been registered which has become an advisory body to the Ministry of Justice for the current so-called amendments (changes) to the laws. The LGBTs have even established their so-called Christian Church. Who is to blame most for this all is the heretical hierarchy which has not said a definite and effective word against homosexualism. On the contrary, ex-Card. L. Husar in his book “Discussions with His Beatitude L. Husar: On Postconfessional Christianity” openly approved of homosexuality. By this attitude he has virtually opened especially the UGCC, but also the whole Ukraine, to the invasion of homosexuality from the West. The juvenile justice system is being practically implemented and the Church hierarchy keeps silent or lulls the believers to sleep with mendacious phrases. These all are crimes of the Church hierarchy against Christ and against the Ukrainian nation.

Gender departments have been set up quietly and illegally at the regional and district councils. They enforce homosexualism and transsexualism, hotline of juvenile justice, gay adoption of children, and promotion of homosexuality in schools. According to international standards gender equality is now understood in such way that a man can say that he is not a man but a woman, and it must be entered in his passport. This schizophrenia has not only been legalized in the West but even privileged, and that’s insanity. Currently, advocates of gender ideology subsidized by the West carry out their agitation particularly in rural schools, although they do not have the state’s approval. They promote amoral ideology and demoralize Ukrainian children. Also in education compulsory sex antieducation is introduced under the code name The Essentials of Health.

The juvenile justice system has been practically introduced in Ukraine within social services. It is promoted by subsidies from the West. For example in France, Russia and Germany this “justice system” removes children from any family without trial, without guilt and without possibility to appeal against it and sells them for international adoption or even for organs.

These days, the first stage of chipping of the Ukrainian nation is prepared in the form of introducing a chip in personal documents. On 23 September 2011, the Ukrainian Parliament approved the bill. It is aimed at total control and manipulation of every individual, which exists nowhere in Europe or in the world.

The dangers of chipping are the following:

1) total control of people;

2) abuse of personal data;

3) a threat to national security;

4) the number 666, which is the biblical sign of the antichrist, hidden in the chip - this being restriction of religious freedom;

5) the ultimate aim of the “chipping” is chip implantation in the hand or forehead, which will deprive people of their free will, and can even stop the heartbeat and cause death.

On 15 October 2011, the so-called Catholic portal RISU under UCU (the Ukrainian Catholic University) in Lvov published an article carrying the following headline: “One third of Ukrainians is in favour of restoration of death penalty and is not against legalization of euthanasia”. Only the very title of the article publicly promotes euthanasia. This “Catholic” portal did not condemn euthanasia by a single word. During its public conference in September 2011, the UCU urged that European standards such as homosexuality, sex education, juvenile justice, gender schizophrenia and euthanasia should be accepted with unquestioning trust.

Apostate Church prelates of the UGCC have embraced the spirit of heresy and the spirit of Assisi, the spirit of antichrist. Nevertheless, they falsely act as orthodox and shelter themselves behind the authority of Jesus Christ, whom, however, they kill in the human souls! If this hierarchy became converted and said a clear word which the President, government and political structures are waiting for, the nation would be saved. Changes in the laws which are taking place are aimed not only at the loss of national sovereignty but also at moral and spiritual devastation and even physical genocide of Ukraine.

To be silent at this time and to distract from true repentance by phrases about a single national Church is a betrayal of Christ and of the nation. To unify the Catholics and the Orthodox on the basis of heresies and in the spirit of Assisi and New Age is an antichristian activity. Ukraine may only be saved through true conversion and repentance!

Therefore we urge all Christians of Ukraine to realize their responsibility before God and before the future generations and to make these concrete necessary steps to salvation:

1) Pray for the salvation of the future generation as well as of Ukraine. It would be ideal if each family could choose one hour which they find suitable and pray at this time every day – they may pray all together or take turns in such way that at least one member of the family would pray. In this way all hours of the day and night will be filled, which will be a chain of continual prayers to God. Remember that in this hour God counts with your faith through which He will manifest His omnipotence.

2) Fasting – let all believers fast especially on Fridays on bread and water or on water only. On Wednesdays, one can abstain from meat at least.

3) Join together in various committees and civic organizations to be able to fight effectively against demoralization of children and youth and self-destruction of the nation.

4) Take to the streets, that means, organize demonstrations systematically before the premises of the regional state administrations in your region with a demand for:

a) cessation of so-called law amendments;

b) abolition of the gender structure;

c) abolition of the juvenile justice system;

d) cessation of planned chipping.

5) Petition the President for cessation of the process of demoralization and dechristianization of Ukraine, which is associated with the so-called amendments to the laws.

Do not let yourselves be discouraged by lukewarm believers or by Church authorities. God is waiting for you today!

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!

Motto: For God and for Ukraine!

Bestowing a blessing on You for the spiritual battle,
