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.

Back in 1992, at the 1st International Informatization Forum, with the active participation of the Russian delegation, the "Information Convention of a Single World Locally Distributed Information and Cellular Community — a New Information and Space Civilization" was adopted3. This convention is a UN policy document that "determines the development of the world community" for the near future. Behind the scientific title of the document is skillfully concealed its occult essence, which is truly hostile to the Orthodox worldview.

Here are just some excerpts from this "convention ... » with brief comments:

"Information is the primary foundation of the world. Information is inside us and outside of us. Everything that surrounds us, everywhere and everywhere is information... A single information world consists not only of space, nature, but also of society. The consciousness of society belongs to the information world of the Universe...

The main direction of the development of a single world information and cellular community is to ensure the transition to... to the ultimate goal of mankind – the information and space civilization"4.

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matt. 6:33), the Saviour commands His followers, but there is no place for God in the minds of the authors of the document. The creator of all things visible and invisible is replaced by "information." Hence the ultimate goal of human life – not in the acquisition of the Holy Spirit of God, not in the salvation of the soul for eternal life, but in the creation of a kind of "information-cosmic civilization", the anti-Christian essence of which is beyond doubt. "Those who do not seek the Kingdom of God first of all are clearly opposed to the Word of God," writes a man of truly holy life, the recluse of Zadonsk, Georgy Alekseevich Mashurin5. Thus, the compilers of the "Informationological Convention..." were undoubtedly guided by the spirit of the Antichrist of this world, the spirit of eternal perdition, which brings down the people who accepted it into the abysses of hell.

Further in the text, "the convention ... " we read: "In the information society, there is no division of people into workers, peasants, intellectuals, employees, and so on; There are no divisions on racial and national grounds: all people are free informational personalities... A person finds true freedom only in the information and cellular society (ISO)... In the IDF there is no legislative power, no executive power, no judicial power... There is only one power in the universe and on the planet—the power of information..."6

So, the authors of the "convention..." They propose to create a kind of gray race of people deprived of family, national and cultural roots. At the same time, they are modestly silent about how the "power of information" governing this herd of "common people" will be exercised. Who will be the behind-the-scenes puppeteer of the inhabitants of the "information-cellular paradise"? There is no doubt that this "only power in the world" will be based on the latest technologies of psychotronic processing of people's consciousness. In this way, a person will receive "true freedom" not in Christ, but in a demonic network society. Again there is a discrepancy – the Word of God teaches us otherwise: "Stand therefore in the freedom which Christ has given us, and do not again be subjected to the yoke of slavery" (Gal. 5:1).
