I hope that the work offered to the reader will serve as another warning for everyone and will not leave anyone indifferent. It's time to be sober and awake. This is not the time to be silent, but the time to act. Tomorrow it will be too late...

The processes of globalization are inexorably leading to the construction of a global technotronic dictatorship headed by a single political and religious leader, unprecedented in the history of mankind. This is already quite obvious.

One of the first hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church gave a true spiritual assessment of what is happening by His Eminence Agafangel, Metropolitan of Odessa and Izmail, Doctor of Theology, a permanent member of the Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. His well-known words and speeches were invaluable to me in my work on the book. Personal communication with Vladyka also helped, which made it possible to discuss many difficult issues. For which I offer my heartfelt gratitude and ask all readers to pray for the health of this remarkable archpastor, a true patriot of Russia.

Due to the exceptional importance of the objects and phenomena considered in the book, the text uses the Church Slavonic words "mir" and "mir", expressing various concepts:

"World" — 1) humanity, living a carnal, material life, according to the principles of egoism and sensuality; 2) the totality of sinful passions; 3) everything that opposes the spiritual kingdom of Christ; 4) the globe, the planet, the environment, the universe.

"Peace" — 1) peace with God, unity with Him, God's bright world of angels and righteous men; 2) a state of indestructible internal and external well-being; 3) peace with conscience, peace of mind; 4) friendly harmony between people, the absence of strife, enmity or war.

Highlights in the text are made by the author.

THE ABYSS RUSHES INTO BATTLE

As early as the 1970s, the famous confessor of Orthodoxy, St. Averky (Taushev), warned all Orthodox Christians who wish to live piously in Christ Jesus: "The servants of Satan, or, what is the same thing, the servants of the coming Antichrist, take advantage of the spiritual blindness of the majority of modern people and stubbornly and persistently do their work with truly satanic energy. And by special efforts, and by all available means, with the help of those means that have come under their control, they attract followers who, consciously or unconsciously, whether they want it or not, cooperate with them, creating in the world conditions and circumstances suitable for the very near coming of the Antichrist, as the lord of the whole world and the master of all mankind... One must be completely blind spiritually, completely alien to true Christianity, not to understand all this!" 1

In our days, the kingdom of the Antichrist is already being built quite openly. Mankind, wandering in darkness, is offered the idea of a "global electronic paradise" on a sinful earth subject to destruction by fire. The father of lies is true to himself. "Freedom, equality, fraternity", "sustainable development", "improvement of the quality of life, progress and prosperity" are no longer in a single country, but on a world scale. Wide are the gates, the path to the next "bright future" is wide. In other words, into a "new world order" in which, in the words of the builders of the kingdom of the Antichrist, "different peoples unite with each other for the sake of a common cause, for the realization of the universal aspirations of mankind – freedom and law and order, peace and security."

Beware lest any man deceive you (Matt. 24:4) – our Lord Jesus Christ edifies His faithful disciples. These words of the Savior should always be remembered by every Orthodox Christian.

So, what is hidden behind the cunning and flattering slogans, behind beautiful words that attract naïve people? Who and for what purpose proposes that different nations unite to build a new Babylon?

It turns out that those very servants of Satan are evil people and deceivers! (2 Tim. 3:12-13.) Under the pretext of "fighting international terrorism and extremism", they are turning the planet into a worldwide electronic concentration camp. The official name of the new world order is the global network information and cellular society, abbreviated as a single global information society. Its construction is provided for by a number of international treaties and agreements concluded at the highest level.
