Saint Paisios: His prophecies about World War III, Turkey and Constantinople
"Turkey will be dissolved, and in fact, it will be dissolved by the allies themselves. The Turks have the kollyva in their belt," said Saint Paisios in 1991.
Saint Cosmas the Aetolian was right when he said about the six miles because the Examilia, explains Elder Paisios, are now neither villages nor cities but are the six nautical miles. The 6-mile zone, territorial waters, that surrounds the coast of Greece and each of our islands. Examilia is every point that is six miles from the coast of Greece in land and island areas. This also includes the zone of territorial waters of Greece-Turkey. So there will be what Saint Cosmas the Aetolian said about the Turks and the kollyvas in their belt.
“When the Turkish fleet starts heading towards Greece and reaches six miles, it will indeed be destroyed. It will be the time when they will have their scythes in their belts, but this will not be done by us Greeks.”
“This is God’s will! The six miles will be the beginning of the end!”
“Then all the events that will lead to our taking the City will begin.”
“Constantinople will be given to us!”
“There will be a war between Russia and Turkey. At first, the Turks will think they are winning, but this will be their destruction. The Russians will eventually defeat the Turks and the City (Constantinople) will fall into their hands.”
“The Turks will be destroyed, they will be wiped off the map because they are a nation that did not arise from the blessing of God. Of the Turks, one third will go where they started, to the depths of Asia. One third will be saved because they will have been Christianized and the last 1/3 will be killed in this war with Turkey.
“Turkey will be divided into three or four parts and the countdown has already begun. We Greeks will take our own lands from Turkey, the Armenians theirs and the Kurds theirs. The Kurdish issue has already been set in motion.”
and Saint Paisios continues about Turkey:
“These things will happen not now but soon, when this generation that is ruling Turkey ceases and a new generation of politicians takes over. Then the division of Turkey will take place.”
“The British and Americans will give us Constantinople! Not because they love us but because it will be in their interests.”
“The Turks will only make one provocation to Greece that will be related to the coastal zone (see the image above with the 6 miles) and we will go hungry.”
“Greece will go hungry and this storm will last for a while, a few months.”
“When you hear on television the issue of miles being discussed for the expansion of the coastal zone from 6 to 12 miles, then the war with the Turks is coming from behind. After the provocation of the Turks, the Russians will descend the straits (Bosphorus) to participate in the war.”
Not to help us Greeks. They will have other interests but without wanting to, they will help us. Then the Turks, in order to defend the Bosphorus straits, which are of strategic importance, will gather other troops there. At the same time, they will withdraw forces from conquered territories.
“But then the other states of Europe, and more specifically: England, France, Italy and 6-7 other EEC states, will see that Russia will seize territory. So they will say, let’s go there too, so we take a piece of land too.”
“But everyone will chase the lion’s share. That’s how the Europeans will enter the war with Turkey. The Greek government will decide not to send troops. It will only keep troops on the borders with Turkey and it will be a great blessing that it will not take part in this war.”
Because whoever takes part in this European war… Is lost!”
“It will not be long after the Turks attack our country and then the Russians will attack the Turks and disperse them. Just as a sheet of paper that you strike and disperses, so the Turks will disperse.”
1/3 of the Turks will be killed, 1/3 will become Christians and 1/3 will go to the depths of Asia.
When will the war begin according to Paisios:
“The use of the Euphrates Waters for irrigation projects by the Turks will be a warning that the preparation for the great war that will follow has begun.” and continues..
“After the disintegration of Turkey, Russia will continue the war up to the Persian Gulf and its troops will stop outside Jerusalem. Then the Western powers (America, Europe and England) will give the Russians a deadline to withdraw their troops from these places!
"As long as it takes to grow cabbages, that is, 6 months. But Russia will not withdraw its forces and then the Western powers will begin to gather troops to attack the Russians. The war that will break out will be global and will result in the Russians losing. A great slaughter will follow and the big cities will be turned into slums."
"We Greeks will not participate in the World War! Our administration of Constantinople will be both military and political"
