The Prophecy of +Elder Joseph of Vatopedi, the Hesychist in his own voice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s22R1TZx2bs&feature=player_embedded#!
He describes WWIII in which the Turks invade Greece, Russia comes to Greece's aid and the West attacks Russia and the West loses 700,000 men in 3 days in a battle near Tsargrad. It also deals with the restoration of the Orthodox Emperor. Elder Paisios also felt this would be an area of war, with Russia fighting on Turkish soil. He also said that he felt that the Turks would leave Cyprus on their own, because they would have to focus their strengths on fighting this large scale war. For anyone following geopolitics, these 'prophecies' are not far fetched at all.

Glory be to Jesus Christ!! Glory be to Him forever and ever!!
I believe that we have all been in the "end times" since the advent of Our Lord. He tells us in Sacred Scripture that we should expect these signs of the times. I think it's most important that we remember the words from the Great Ektenia, when we pray "for the peace from above." My understanding of "the peace from above" is that we remember that this world will never give us peace; we will always have conflict and strife because of sin. The peace that is from above is not this world's peace. The Heavenly peace is that which the Holy Spirit places within the deepest part of our being and essentially lies in the fact--the deeply held certainty--that Christ has conquered the world, that He is in charge now and for all eternity, and that nothing will happen to any of His People, including you and me, that He does not permit. I am--and you are--in the Palm of His Gracious Hand, so death, martyrdom, pain, humiliation, or whatever else happens should mean nothing to you or me.

Cyprus, however, is in a comfortable position. The other beggars are forced to accept bailout from the European Union in exchange for diminished national sovereignty, EU imposed austerity measures and direct supervision from Brussels over their budgets and economies. Cyprus, however, has an alternative. "We have other options," the Cypriotic Finance Minister Vassos Shiarly recently told journalists in Nicosia. Economists expect that to keep Cyprus afloat, it will need between €25 and 50bn in the coming years. Nicosia, however, is resisting pressure from the other EU countries to take a first bailout package worth as much as €10bn.
Cyprus does not want to accept the strings attached to the European offer. The Cypriotic alternative is called Russia. Last December, Moscow already gave Nicosia a bilateral loan of €3bn. Eager, since the era of Peter the Great, to acquire a strategic foothold in the Eastern Mediterranean, Russia is now offering even more. And with President Demetris Christofias of Cyprus happy to accommodate his friend Vladimir Putin, there is no doubt that Nicosia will turn to Moscow rather than to Brussels....
