Abel, the famous monk who received the nickname "Prophetic", who predicted the fall of the Romanov dynasty, still remains a very mysterious person. He painted "from and to" the entire history of the Russian state, the revolution, the civil war, the Great Patriotic War, and so on. In retold dialogues with royalty and in excerpts from "books" Abel called names and practically exact dates which is usually uncharacteristic of prophets. How did he make his predictions and, most importantly, what else remained unknown to us, the descendants? Does Russia have a happy future, or...
Monk Abel, in the world - Vasily Vasiliev. He was born on March 18, 1757 in the village of Akulovo, Tula Region, into a peasant family, worked as a carpenter, got married, then left his wife and children and fled to a monastery, to the Valaam monastery, where he took tonsure in 1785. Soon he left the monastery, wandered around the world for some time, then found a new refuge in the Nikolo-Babaevsky monastery of the Kostroma diocese.
Abel's biography is very well known, because all his movements are recorded in church books and criminal cases. He came then, left then, was tonsured then - no doubt arises. There is great confidence in the fact that he actually wrote some books, although not a single one has come down to our time.
In general, there were many adventures in the life of Abel. He changed during his life at least six monasteries and a dozen prisons. Because for every successful prediction, the authorities considered it necessary to lock up the unrestrained monk.
Catherine II
So, in 1796, he wrote a short book, in which, among other things, he claimed that Catherine II would die in early November, after which he guessed to show the document to the rector of the Nikolo-Babaevsky Monastery. He handed over the "case" to Bishop of Kostroma and Galicia Pavel. The latter for blasphemous deeds (declaring himself a clairvoyant) cut Abel, and then, not knowing what to do with the newly-minted prophet, handed him over to the governor of the Kostroma region. As a result, it came to the empress herself, who, for such words, ordered by personal decree to put Vasily in the Shlisselburg “Nutlet”.
On November 6, 1796, Catherine II died. The new Prosecutor General of the Senate Kurakin, while examining the documents of his predecessor, stumbled upon a “book of predictions”, ordered the release of the prophetic monk and brought him personally to Emperor Paul I. The latter liked Vasily. It is not known what they talked about, but already on December 14, by the personal decree of Paul, the defamation was released from all charges and allowed to be tonsured again as a monk. He goes to Valaam, where he immediately writes a new "book of predictions", in which he accurately indicates the date of the death of Paul himself.
Pavel I
History repeated itself one by one. Abel showed the prediction to the abbot, he passed it on secular authorities, and on May 12, 1800, Abel, on the personal order of the emperor, was imprisoned in the Alekseevsky ravelin of the Peter and Paul Fortress. By the way, all the decrees have been preserved, so it is not difficult to track the monk's adventures here. After Pavel's death in 1801, the monk was released and sent to Solovki without the right to leave the monastery.
War of 1812
On Solovki, Abel again could not resist and wrote another prediction that ten years later, in 1812, Moscow would be taken by French troops. History repeated itself: this time, Emperor Alexander I, by personal decree, sent the restless prophet to the Solovki island prison, where he lived for ten years. Exactly before the invasion of Napoleon. Alexander was forced to cancel the punishment of the monk and release him from captivity.
In October 1812, Alexander I ordered “... by all means to release the monk Abel from the Solovetsky Monastery and give him a passport to all Russian cities and monasteries. And so that he was happy with everything, dress and money. From this time begins the prosperity of Abel. He becomes famous. High officials, counts and princes go to him for predictions. He even favors some.
He is honored by the Potemkin family and other famous families. He refrained from risky predictions until 1826, when he once again foolishly predicted a bad future for the newly-minted Emperor Nicholas I.
Nicholas I
He sent him to the prison department of the Suzdal Spaso-Evfimevsky Monastery. Abel spent the rest of his life in prison and died in 1841.
The death of the dynasty in 1918
There is a version according to which part of the messages that Abel intended for his descendants, Tsar Paul I sealed in a chest. The memoirs of Ober-Kamerfrau Geringer have been preserved, which say that in 1901 the royal couple of Nicholas II went to Gatchina in order to reveal some kind of family secret. But when they returned, they were very upset, and the tsar began to mention 1918 more and more often.
Abel predicted the end of the royal dynasty precisely in 1918, he said that Nicholas would be sacrificed for all the recklessness of the people. It is also known that in 1903 the king was given a sealed envelope with the predictions of Seraphim of Sarov. After reading this letter, the emperor “went lamented and wept” for a long time.
Perhaps it is this series of sad predictions that can explain the apathy of Nicholas II in last years life - he knew about his fate. Abel accurately predicted the dates of the reign and death of many Russian tsars.

"Godless Yoke"
It was in conversations with Paul I that Abel revealed to the tsar the fate of Russia. He predicted the long-suffering death of Nicholas II. But what the elder saw after the death of the emperor made him grieve and cry. In the prophecy, Abel says that rivers of blood will spill over all of Russia. "Brother will rise up against brother."
Abel also speaks of a ruler who will close and destroy churches, and destroy the faith.
According to the seer, everything that will happen in Russia at this time is "God's permission." All the hardships and troubles that will shake the state will be given to the people as a punishment for the fact that they renounced their king. But that's not all misfortunes, in the West "New Batu will raise his hand" and there will be one war worse than another.
We now understand that Abel predicted the First and Second World Wars. At the same time, the elder also asserted that the people “between fire and flame” would not be exterminated and would triumph over all adversity.
Anastasia Romanova
According to Abel's predictions, not the entire royal family was to die. He predicted that the child who would be born in 1901, i.e. Anastasia Romanova will have to save Russia, which is on the verge of devastation and poverty. Abel translated the name of Anastasia as "Resurrected" (in Greek, Anastasia means "resurrected"), in his opinion, even the name of this girl was symbolic.
Princess Anastasia.
Abel advised the rulers of Russia to pledge money and property to the Western "Khrana" so that later it would be these funds that would "revive Russia and make it a prosperous country." The Romanov family knew about this prediction and from childhood Anastasia was raised as a child who should save the Fatherland.
End of the world
Abel predicts that the troubles in Rus' will end when the “chosen one of God” heads the state, and the Russian people themselves “smell” and understand that this person has appeared. The seer also says that "his name is thrice destined for Russian history."
However, Abel also predicts that there will be two impostors who will be able to sit on the “throne”, but not the “royal one”. The "Royal Throne" is prepared only for the ruler chosen by God, in which "Salvation and happiness of the Russian power." The predictor also predicts the coming great of Russia, the spread Orthodox faith. Abel warns: "A great destiny is destined for Russia." However, the starets did not reveal the name of this saving sovereign, saying that one should not talk about him until the time came for “fear dark force for the sake of it."
All the prophecies of the predictor Abel end in 2896, when, in his opinion, the End of the World should come.
According to Abel, a number of criminal cases were opened. As evidence, five "books" were attached to the cases, that is, bound notebooks with predictions of 40-50 sheets each. There are a number of decrees - either on the imprisonment of Abel, or on release. Not a single book has come down to our time, but the passages copied into other documents are amazing.
Perhaps the story of Abel is the strangest. His life is known practically by the day, his predictions are recorded, and they are accurate. Who was Abel? A skilled swindler? A real soothsayer? History does not know the answer.
compilation material – FoxPeople who speak the truth in the eyes of the rulers are not loved in any state. They are either liquidated, or “conserved” for a long time in prisons, or, if the sovereign is a civilized person, they are simply deprived of citizenship and sent to tell the truth to other sovereigns. Actually, this is understandable. Well, what to do with people who make predictions to rulers? Predictions with indication exact day death, and besides, not at all a royal place - a toilet.
"During the days great Catherine in the Solovetsky Monastery there lived a monk of high life. His name was Abel. He was far-sighted, and his disposition was distinguished by the simplest, and because what was revealed to his spiritual eye, he announced publicly, not caring about the consequences. The hour came and he began to prophesy: they say, such and such a time will pass, and the Queen will die, and he even indicated what death. No matter how far the Solovki were from St. Petersburg, Abel's word soon reached the Secret Chancellery. Request to the abbot, and the abbot, without thinking twice, Abel - in the sleigh and in St. Petersburg; - and in St. Petersburg the conversation is short: they took it and put the prophet in the fortress ... "
That's what the prophets do in their own country. For his predictions, Abel was imprisoned in the Shlisselburg fortress "under the strongest guard." True, the essence of the prophecy, unfortunately, this has not changed. After the prediction of Abel, as they say, came into force - Catherine the Great died on that very day and in that very place - the monk was amnestied by Paul I himself.
The emperor wished to meet with the elder and listen to new forecasts from him. Abel described in detail the death of the emperor, and at the same time the unenviable future of the Romanov dynasty. Paul I swallowed it all, ordered the elder to give a prediction in writing; this is how a sealed envelope appeared in the Gatchina Palace ...
Abel was released in peace to the Nevsky Monastery, for a new monastic vows. It was there, at the second tonsure, that he received the name Abel.
What did Abel prophesy?
About Paul I
“Your reign will be short, and I see your sinful, fierce end. On Sophronius of Jerusalem from unfaithful servants you will accept a martyr's death, in your bedchamber you will be strangled by the villains whom you warm on your royal chest. On Holy Saturday they will bury you... They, these villains, seeking to justify their great sin of regicide, will proclaim you insane, will revile your good memory... But the Russian people with their truthful soul will understand and appreciate you and will carry their sorrows to your tomb , asking for your intercession and softening of the hearts of the unrighteous and cruel. The number of your years is like a beech count.
The prediction that the Russian people will appreciate Paul I has not yet come true. If today we were to conduct a survey on the attitude of Russians to past autocrats, then Pavel would certainly be one of the outsiders.
About Alexander I
“The Frenchman will burn Moscow under Him, and He will take Paris from him and call him Blessed. But secret grief will become unbearable to Him, and the royal crown will seem heavy to Him. He will be righteous in the sight of God: he will be a white monk in the world. I saw above the Russian land the star of the great saint of God. It burns, it flares up. This ascetic will transform the whole fate of Alexandrov ... ".
According to legend, Alexander I did not die in Taganrog, but turned into the elder Fyodor Kuzmich and went wandering around Rus'.
About Nicholas I
“The beginning of the reign of your son Nicholas will begin with a fight, with a Voltairian rebellion. This will be an evil seed, a destructive seed for Russia. If it were not for the grace of God that covers Russia, then ... About a hundred years later, the House of the Most Holy Theotokos will become impoverished, the Russian State will turn into an abomination of desolation.
About Alexander II
“Your grandson, Alexander II, was destined by the Tsar-Liberator. He will fulfill your plan - he will free the peasants, and then he will beat the Turks and the Slavs will also give freedom from the yoke of the infidel. The Jews will not forgive him for his great deeds, they will start hunting for him, they will kill him in the middle of a clear day, in the capital of a loyal subject with renegade hands. Like you, he will seal the feat of his service with royal blood ... "
About Alexander III
“The Tsar-Liberator is succeeded by the Tsar-Peacemaker, his son, and your great-grandson, Alexander the Third. Glorious will be his reign. He will lay siege to the accursed sedition, he will bring peace and order.
About Nicholas II
“To Nicholas II - the holy king, like Job, the long-suffering one. He will have the mind of Christ, long-suffering and dove-like purity. Scripture testifies about him: Psalms 90, 10 and 20 revealed to me his whole fate. He will replace the royal crown with a crown of thorns, he will be betrayed by his people, as once the Son of God. There will be a redeemer, he will redeem his people with himself - like a bloodless sacrifice. War will be Great War, world. Through the air, people, like birds, will fly, under water, like fish, they will swim, they will begin to exterminate each other with a fetid gray. On the eve of victory, the royal throne will collapse. Change will grow and multiply. And your great-grandson will be betrayed, many of your descendants will whiten their clothes with the blood of a lamb in the same way, a peasant with an ax will take power in madness, but he himself will cry afterward. The plague of Egypt will indeed come."
About the new turmoil in Russia
“Blood and tears will water the damp earth. Bloody rivers will flow. Brother will rise up against brother. And packs: fire, a sword, an invasion of foreigners and an enemy, the godless internal power, the Jew will scourge the Russian land like a scorpion, rob its shrines, close the churches of God, execute the best people Russians. This is the permission of God, the wrath of the Lord for the denial of Russia from her God-anointed. And whether there will be! The Angel of the Lord is pouring out new bowls of calamity so that people come to their senses. Two wars, one more bitter than the other. The new Batu in the West will raise his hand. People between fire and flame. But it will not be destroyed from the face of the earth, as if the prayer of the tortured king is sufficient for him.

Perhaps the story of Abel is the strangest. His life is known practically by the day, his predictions are recorded, and they are accurate. Who was Abel? A skilled swindler? A real soothsayer? History does not know the answer.
On March 11, 1901, Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna arrived at the Gatchina Palace, went to the cherished box, broke the seals with the coat of arms of Empress Maria Feodorovna, Nicholas's great-great-grandmother, and pulled out the paper lying there. The emperor went deep into reading...
Save, God, from Spaso-Efimy!
The name of the monk Abel is surrounded by a trail of legends and rumors. But it is known for sure that the most senior officials of the empire and, of course, emperors, from Catherine II to Nicholas I, dealt with the fate of the humble monk. where he died in the autumn of 1831.
The name of this Suzdal monastery was trembling. There was one of the most terrible prisons in Russia, where the most terrible criminals were languishing in narrow stone bags: sexual perverts, crazy people with dangerous “anti-state nonsense”, and later some of the Decembrists. There the monk Abel turned out to be, who was neither a pervert, nor a madman, nor a revolutionary. But he was known as a prophet, and that was a crime.
The authorities looked with distrust at various kinds of seers and psychics. They were dragged to torture, and after a couple of “candidness sessions”, the clairvoyants suddenly “saw the light” and admitted that “everyone lied out of thoughtlessness.”
This does not happen with every Vasiliev
Abel (in the world - a peasant Vasily Vasilyev) was born in the Tula province in 1757 and lived in his village for almost 30 years, but then suddenly left his family and took a haircut on Valaam. Having taken the tonsure, he suddenly acquired an extraordinary gift, began to prophesy, and these prophecies were retold and expounded in his three pamphlets - he was literate.
The trouble with Abel, as a soothsayer, was that he shared his knowledge not only with all the people he met, but only exclusively with sovereigns - he mercilessly drove the rest of the curious from himself. Abel's gift, on the one hand, aroused distrust towards him, suggested that he, like many rogues, wanted to be a court soothsayer, a sorcerer - such people were worth their weight in gold, and their word frightened the most powerful rulers.
But, on the other hand, we note that his revelations did not arouse the love of those in power for him. He did not hesitate to say such terrible things to his purple-born "clients" that after each revelation he was sent to prison, in which he spent a third of his life. Only towards the end of his earthly journey, after the “rebellious”, bloody, accession to the throne of Nicholas I in December 1825, predicted by him, Abel decided to shut up forever and follow the principle: “Be wise, but keep quiet more.” In 1826, Abel even fled from the monastery, where he had lived since 1823, fearing a call to the new sovereign, Nicholas I. But the monk gave his address to a friend, and then the authorities found him and dragged him to Suzdal ...
But what was it that he predicted that those in power would treat him so unkindly? Abel began with the fact that in the mid-1790s he composed his first handwritten book, in which he predicted the imminent death of Catherine II, indicated the exact date of her sudden death and predicted that the throne would pass to her son Paul (although the empress, not loving her son, prepared a will in favor of her grandson - Alexander). The elder’s manuscript came to the capital, the chief prosecutor of the Synod himself beat him in the tinsel, frightened him with cruel executions, and the empress ordered him to be cut and put in the Shlisselburg fortress.
How will it be with nadide?
Paul I, who ascended the throne after the sudden death of his mother on the day indicated by Abel, affectionately accepted the defrocked seer in December 1796. But the elder did not please the new sovereign and predicted his death on March 11: “From unfaithful servants ... in the bedchamber you will be strangled by villains, you warm on the royal chest. Paul, restraining himself, began to ask him about what awaits his descendants. Perhaps the sovereign was driven by the curiosity inherent in people - in the Persian language there is a word nadide, which means great-great-grandson, and it is translated as "the one you will not see."
From the speech of the monk, the tsar learned that under his heir Alexander I there would be a big war, the Russians would take Paris, that the tsar “would look heavy on the royal crown and he would replace the feat of service with the feat of fasting and prayer.” Then it will not be the children of Alexander I (who will not be) and not the next brother Konstantin, but Nicholas I, whose reign "will begin with a fight." After him, the grandson of Paul Alexander II will come to the throne, who will give free rein to the serfs, free the Slavs of the Balkans, the rebels will start hunting for him and one day they will kill him in the middle of the capital.
Paul's great-grandson will be Alexander III. This is a time of calm, and then the same nadide will come to power - Emperor Nicholas II, who "will replace the royal crown with a crown of thorns." Under him, a great war will begin, and people will fly through the sky like birds and swim under water like fish, and will choke each other with fetid gray, and on the eve of victory in this war the royal throne will collapse, and “a peasant with an ax will take power in madness. The kingdom of godlessness will come, and "the new Batu in the west will raise his hand" against Russia.
All these prophecies of the elder Paul personally wrote down on paper as a “Letter to a descendant”, sealed it in an envelope and inscribed that the envelope should be opened a hundred years after his, Paul’s, death. The Emperor's widow, Maria Feodorovna, placed the "Letter to a Descendant" in a cypress chest, which was opened on March 11, 1901 by Emperor Nicholas II...
Sit until the prediction comes true
Paul released the elder, allowed him to re-cut his hair under the name of Abel, with whom he went down in history. But nevertheless, in May 1800, he was imprisoned in Peter and Paul Fortress, as one historian wrote, "wait for March 11, 1801." After this fateful day for Paul, Abel was immediately released from the fortress to be sent even further - to Solovki.
But a voice from heaven did not give Abel peace, and in 1802 he wrote new book, in which he predicted the invasion of the French and the fire of Moscow. The prophecy was reported to Alexander I, and he ordered Abel to be put in a monastery prison. This time, Abel had to wait 10 years until the fire of Moscow illuminated his exit from the dungeon. In December 1812, Abel was released into the wild - facts, as you know, are a stubborn thing.
Abel was pardoned (I note - not rehabilitated, but pardoned). But still he was respected - he was issued a passport "for a free pass, also allowing him to choose for his stay the monastery he wishes." Of course, no one apologized to him for the years lost in captivity - the authorities do not recognize such sentiments and humanitarian nonsense: go, they say, old man, hurry up from here and rejoice that you haven’t wiped it into dust yet!
Freedom to roam the dusty roads
But Abel needed freedom, and he went to the holy places from one monastery to another in a crowd of the same "enchanted wanderers." During these blessed two years, the elder saw a lot, visited Constantinople, Jerusalem, and prayed on the famous Mount Athos. But in 1814, trouble happened to him - he lost his passport and turned to the chief prosecutor for a duplicate, who reported this to Emperor Alexander.
The reader may draw attention to the highest level of decision-making about issuing an ordinary passport to some simple monk. It turns out that the sovereign was dissatisfied with the fact that Abel "still continues to roll around Russia." He was ordered by all means to choose a monastery and settle there. But Abel somehow sluggishly carried out the will of the monarch and continued to wander around the monasteries and among the familiar pilgrims, who gladly took on the maintenance of a noble old man. In the end, with the accession of Nicholas I, he returned to his homeland, settled with relatives in the village of Akulovka, where the Nikolaev gendarmes found him to take him to Suzdal.
"The serpent will live thirty years"
The attentive reader probably noticed that I treat the above with a certain humor and distrust - our sources about the prophecies of Abel are too unreliable, how much mysterious fog and omissions are thrown around them! Interpretations of the prophecies are given in a variety of ways, and the interpretations are usually consonant with what is happening in society at the time of commenting. Usually professional historians try to avoid these topics - let the authors of the Caravan of Stories or other glamorous publications practice in this matter! And I would not have sat down to write this article, if not for one oddity that struck me.
The well-known hussar, poet and hero of the war of 1812, Denis Davydov, wrote in his memoirs about Abel that he "was gifted with the ability to correctly predict the future." Further, Davydov retells in part the above rumors and facts from the life and prophecies of Abel. But at the end he writes: “Abel was in Moscow during the accession to the throne of Nicholas, he then said about him: “The serpent will live for thirty years.”
I would not quote this passage from Davydov's memoirs, if not for two dates: Davydov entered Abel's prophecy in his notes and died in 1839, and Nicholas I really lived exactly 30 years and died in 1855. Forgery is impossible! Of course, we can say that this is a coincidence, an accident. But there are too many coincidences and accidents around the name of one humble old man ...
Predictions of clairvoyants of the world for Russia
Russia has a very interesting future, which absolutely no one in the world expects from Russia. It is the Russians who will initiate the rebirth of the entire World. And no one imagines how deep these changes will be in the whole wide world, caused precisely by Russia.
“Follow Russia - which way Russia will go, the rest of the World will follow the same way”
American clairvoyant Jane Dixon:
The natural disasters of the early 21st century and all the global disasters they caused will affect Russia the least, and they will affect Russian Siberia even less. Russia will have the opportunity for rapid and powerful development. The hopes of the World and its revival will come precisely from Russia.
Predictions of the Italian clairvoyant Mavis:
Russia has a very interesting future, which absolutely no one in the world expects from Russia. It is the Russians who will initiate the rebirth of the entire World. And no one imagines how deep these changes will be in the whole wide world, caused precisely by Russia. In Russia, even the deepest province will come to life, a lot of new cities will appear and grow on the very periphery ... Russia will reach such a uniquely high level of development that is not now and even by that time not even the most developed state in the world will have ... Then after Russia all the other countries will also be drawn ... The former current Western path of development of earthly civilization will very soon replace the new one, and precisely the Russian path.
Vanga predicted in 1996:
New person under the sign of the New Teaching will appear in Russia, and he will rule Russia all his life ... The new teaching will come from Russia - this is the most ancient and most true doctrine- will spread throughout the world and the day will come when all religions in the world will disappear, and they will be replaced by this new philosophy Fire Bible.
Socialism will return to Russia in a new form, there will be large collective and cooperative agriculture in Russia, and the former Soviet Union will be restored again, but the union is already new. Russia will grow stronger and grow, no one can stop Russia, there is no such force that could break Russia. Russia will sweep away everything in its path, and not only survive, but also become the sole undivided "mistress of the world", and even America in the 2030s will recognize the complete superiority of Russia. Russia will again become a strong and powerful real empire, and will again be called by the old ancient name Rus.
Clairvoyant Edgar Cayce predicted:
Before the end of the 20th century, the collapse of communism will come in the USSR, but Russia, freed from communism, will not progress, but a very difficult crisis. However, already after 2010 the former USSR will be reborn, but it will be reborn in a new form. It is Russia that will lead the revived civilization of the Earth, and Siberia will become the center of this revival of the whole world. Through Russia, the hope of a lasting and just peace will come to the rest of the world.
Paracelsus' prediction:
There is one people that Herodotus called Hyperboreans - the progenitors of all peoples and all earthly civilizations - Aryans, which means "noble." The current name of the ancestral land of this ancient people- Muscovy. Hyperborea in their turbulent future history will know a lot - both a terrible decline with a great variety of various disasters and a powerful great prosperity with a great variety of all kinds of blessings, which will come already at the beginning of the 21st century, i.e. even before 2040.
The 1930 prophecy of St. Theophan of Poltava:
Russia will rise from the dead and the whole world will be surprised... The Orthodoxy that was in Russia before will no longer exist, but the true faith will not only be reborn, but will also triumph.
In connection with the beginning of the “Colored” Revolution in America, it makes sense to recall the predictions about its death. Looks like the time has come!
"For the strong, the weak is always to blame." And the United States is considered so strong all over the world today. On the other hand, with their boorish behavior and shameless lies, the American military and politicians seem to attract all the world's negativity to their country.
United Islands of America
American visionary Dr. Lindsey predicted in the 1960s of the last century about a giant "cramp" that would sweep across the United States. And the first victim state will be California - it will fall apart exactly along the 1300 km long San Andreas transform fault, which runs between the North American and Pacific tectonic plates. At the same time, the southwestern piece will gradually sink into the abyss of the ocean. Only a few islands will remain of the USA. In turn, this earthquake will cause a tsunami with waves of 50 meters, which will swallow the coastal cities. But this is only part of Dr. Lindsey's predictions: it is noteworthy that, as soon as he began to voice his scary pictures, which he saw through time and space, the special services immediately shut his mouth, and the visions themselves were classified "in order to avoid panic among the population."
He is echoed by another American clairvoyant, very well-known in the USA, Edgar Cayce, who prophesied the destruction not only of many states on both coasts that would go to the bottom of the ocean, but also of territories in the middle of America. Megacities such as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles will disappear from the face of the earth. The same will happen with Georgia, the Carolinas and many other states that will become the seabed.
“I see huge waves swallowing up New York and breaking skyscrapers like straws,” another American clairvoyant John Schmidt admitted. “Florida, California and many other coastal states will go under water.”
Bible prophecy
You will say - these are just people, they can dream of anything. Then we turn to other, more authoritative predictions. So, John the Theologian in his "Revelation" spoke about the death of the most powerful, rich and influential country in the world, which spreads everywhere and everywhere the ideology of sin and war. To her, he prophesies the collapse into three islands. True, he called it "Babylon". However, one does not need to be an extremely perceptive person to understand what kind of empire he had in mind.
The prophecies of the abbess and abbess Hildegard of Bingen, who lived 900 years ago and was revered as a saint, also speak of the unenviable fate of a distant nation. Even the American continent itself was not discovered, and even then she predicted the great people living across the ocean, and the land inhabited by different tribes with different colors skins, a terrible earthquake, tidal waves and hurricanes that will ruin everything in their path. “This people,” says the Teacher of the Church (such an honorary title was awarded to Hildegard), “great misfortunes are coming at sea - after all, almost all of this land will go under water.”
This fate was predicted by America and our monk Gilaron: "Due to the devastating earthquake and flooding of the great empire beyond the sea, the end will come - only islands will remain of it."
“The American nation has long since gone from being simply stupid to a real stench in the nostrils of God and a disgusting monster. The Lord told me that America is destined to fall on its knees: it will be a terrible sight - a fallen superpower, - American Thomas Descartes predicts. - The streets of America will be filled with riots and blood. And the people of the United States themselves will watch their children and loved ones die of starvation.”

"The Yankees will turn into real animals"
The American visionary Dannion Brickley also speaks about the terrible riots: “The Yankees will turn into real animals and begin to live according to the laws of wolf packs, having lost faith in their country and American ideals. Endless racial conflicts and civil wars of all against all will begin. Riots will become commonplace. Chaos will come to the land of America."
The American clairvoyant Valdez Jr. also had terrible visions, who talked about "flocks" of hundreds of flying people, whom the hurricane wind lifted up like locusts and smashed and flattened against skyscrapers, about mountains of corpses and just pieces of bodies without legs, arms, heads.
In general, out of dozens of disastrous predictions widely known in the world regarding global catastrophes and cataclysms, 80 percent fall on the fate of America. In second place are prophecies related to Great Britain. On the third - the Apennine Peninsula. And here's what is remarkable: in the predictions related to the fate of America, the positive is completely absent. If other countries, judging by the prophecies, at the very least, but still "recover", get out of the abyss and eventually continue to exist. What about the United States, the forecast of prophets, clairvoyants, soothsayers and psychics is the same - inevitable death. It will simply be swept off the face of the earth into the sea. Moreover, the picture of what will happen to America often coincides with people who are completely unfamiliar with each other and live at different times down to the smallest detail - and this says a lot.
It is impossible to brush aside one more fact that speaks for itself: among the predictors promising the United States a deplorable fate, there are a lot of Americans - they seem to feel on a subtle level what will happen in the future with the land on which a person was born and with which he is connected by an invisible umbilical cord . This also confirms the high probability of the predictions made by the Americans themselves. Although there is a large percentage of those of us who, perhaps, rightly believe that the future is not known to anyone. It is not for nothing that (sometimes not unreasonably) they say: if you want to make the Lord laugh, tell him about your plans. Here you have to wait. So let's wait and see.
He predicted the fate of the Russian tsars, the war between Russia and France and Napoleon's entry into Moscow, the tragic fate of the imperial house of the Romanovs and the last Russian emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov, his martyrdom. He predicted two world wars, the fall of the autocracy and the subsequent innumerable troubles of Russia in the 20th century.
There were rumors that in December 1991, M. S. Gorbachev, transferring the Kremlin affairs to B. N. Yeltsin, along with the famous nuclear briefcase, handed him some no less significant attribute of presidential power - a mysterious folder, the contents of which should be known only to the highest ruler countries...
Abel the predictor, in the world Vasily Vasilyev, was born on March 20, 1757, on the day of the vernal equinox, in the "Tula province, Aleksinsky district, Solomenskaya volost, in the village of Akulovo." Until the age of 38, Vasily's life was not much different from the life of other serfs in his village - he plowed, sowed, and by the age of 17 he had learned the craft of building. Married, had three children. He begged for freedom from his master Lev Naryshkin.
In search of work, with an artel of carpenters he traveled almost all of Russia, visited overseas countries. Upon returning to his homeland, he worked in Kherson and Kremenchug. In Kherson, like many then, he fell seriously ill with an unknown illness and made a vow: if he remains alive, he will devote himself to serving God. WITH God's help Vasily recovered. Returning home, he asked for the consent of his parents and went to the island of Valaam to the Transfiguration Monastery, where in 1785 he received tonsure and received his first monastic name.
He stayed in the monastery on Valaam for a year, and then, with the blessing of the abbot, he went to a deserted place, where he lived in solitude for many years. There, Abel received a great gift from God: two angels who visited him gave him the opportunity to predict the future and ordered him to inform the elect of what was to come.
From that time on, Abel begins to write and say, "what is appropriate for whom." He walks through the monasteries and deserts of Russia, then settling for obedience in the Nikolo-Babaevsky monastery of the Kostroma diocese. In that monastery, he wrote his first book, “wise and wise,” which spoke about the reigning Empress Catherine II. That she had eight months left to live by that time, and that she would soon die suddenly. As an obedient monk, Abel showed his notes to the abbot of the monastery, who, in fright, immediately sent him to Bishop Pavel of Kostroma and Galicia.
From Kostroma, under escort, the monk-soothsayer was sent to Petersburg. Upon learning of his prophecies, the empress was furious. Catherine II did not like mysticism and even wrote a theatrical drama that publicly ridiculed Count Cagliostro, then popular in Europe. She spent many years to prevent her hated son Pavel from gaining power and to transfer the crown of the Russian Empire to her beloved grandson, Alexander. And suddenly she finds out that she has less than a year to reign and, despite all her efforts, Paul will become emperor.
For insulting the highest authority, the monk Abel is sentenced to death. Only by the greatest mercy of the empress, the execution was replaced by life imprisonment in the Shlisselburg fortress. Its commandant received an order: to keep the monk under the strictest guard in a secret chamber and not allow him to communicate with anyone. In the history of the fortress, the soothsayer Abel is listed as one of its first secret prisoners.
This was the first "Case" about the peasant V. Vasilyev, brought against him in St. Petersburg by the head of the Secret Expedition, Alexander Makarov. And his first conclusion. How many more such “cases” and conclusions were there in the tragic fate of a monk who was ahead of his time and had the gift of predicting…
“There was a voice to me from the air: go and pray to her northern Queen Catherine: she will reign for 40 years. Therefore, go boldly to Pavel Petrovich and his two youths, Alexander and Konstantin, that the whole earth will be conquered under them. This voice was heard to me in 1787 in the month of March ... For nine years my conscience forced me always and incessantly to tell Her Majesty and Their Highnesses about this voice ... why did I take it into my head to write those notebooks and composed the first two in the Babaevsky Monastery in ten days, and the last three in the desert..."
Empress Catherine II died suddenly on November 6, 1796 - exactly on the day indicated in Abel's papers. Pavel Petrovich ascended the throne. On December 12, 1796, the soothsayer from prison was requested to His Majesty Paul I. Here is how Julius Vasiliev (1995) writes about this meeting in his book “The Life of St. Abel the Soothsayer”:
- Your reign will be short, and I see your sinful, fierce end. On Sophronius of Jerusalem, the day of remembrance on March 11, you will accept a martyr's death from unfaithful servants, you will be strangled in your bedchamber by the villains whom you warm on your royal chest. On Good Saturday they will bury you...
– What awaits my Successor, Tsarevich Alexander?
- The Frenchman will burn Moscow in his presence, and he will take Paris from him and call him Blessed ...
– And who will succeed Emperor Alexander?
- Your son, Nikolai ...
- How? Alexander will not have a son? Then Tsesarevich Konstantin?
- Constantine will not want to reign, remembering your fate, and accepts death from pestilence. The beginning of the reign of your son Nikolai will begin with a fight, a riot.
- After my son Nikolai, who will be on the throne of Russia?
- Your grandson, Alexander II, was destined by the Tsar the Liberator. Your plan will be fulfilled, he will give freedom to the serfs: and after that he will beat the Turks and free the Slavs from the yoke of the infidel. The rebels will not forgive him for his great deeds, they will start “hunting” for him, they will kill a loyal subject in the capital with renegade hands in the middle of a clear day ... His son will inherit the Tsar Liberator, and your great-grandson, Alexander the Third Peacemaker is true.
– To whom will he give the royal legacy?
- Nicholas II - the Holy Tsar, will have the mind of Christ, long-suffering and pigeon-like purity. He will replace the royal crown with a crown of thorns. There will be a war, a great war... Through the air, people will fly like birds, under the water, like fish, they will swim, and they will begin to exterminate each other with foul-smelling gray. On the eve of victory, the Tsar's throne will collapse, a man with an ax will take power in madness ... Or else there will be. The Angel of the Lord is pouring out new bowls of calamity so that people come to their senses. Two wars, one more bitter than the other. New Batu in the West will raise his hand. People between fire and flame. But it will not be cut off from the face of the earth, as if the prayer of the tortured Tsar satisfies him.
- Is this really the death of the Russian State and there is and will not be salvation? -
asked Pavel Petrovich.
“Impossible for people, possible for God,” Abel answered, “God is slow to help, but it is said that he will give it soon and erect a horn of Russian salvation. And the Great Prince will rise in exile from your house, standing for the sons of his people. This will be the Chosen One of God, and his blessing is on his head. It will be one and understandable to everyone, it will be taught by the very heart of Russia. His appearance will be sovereign and bright, and no one will say: "The king is here or there," but "this is he." The will of the people will submit to the grace of God, and he himself will confirm his calling... His name is destined three times in the history of Russia...
And then Abel, bending down, whispered the name.
But it is impossible to disclose it for the time being ...
- Then Russia will be great, - Abel continued to answer, - A great fate is destined for her. That is why she will suffer in order to be cleansed ...
- Capture reverend father that you have spoken, put everything in writing. I will put a seal on your prediction, and until my great-great-grandson, your writing will be inviolably kept here, in my Gatchina Palace ...
