Instructions for immortal or what to do if you still died ...

Introduction

The topic, as you understand, is relevant absolutely for everyone, because, you want - do not want, you still have to die. Since the time of Adam and Eve, unfortunately, death became fate of all people, although the sad, although not normal, albeit unnatural, although not to God's plan about a person, but, nevertheless, it became like a certain one Nature that the Lord defeated his resurrection. But he did not give us an immortal life now, in a twarm body, which would be cruelty, and gave us the resurrection in the immortal body. In this very, but immortal. It is clear why the Lord did not give us an immortal life now: imagine, here you are - grandmothers, would you like to do not die and all the time be sick?

Imagine when people say that they always want to live without thinking about what to live is always good, but it would be very desirable to live without illness. Agree, so?

And, of course, we are with you, speaking of death, you must first understand the device of the universe to understand what happens to us in life.

History of the Fall and the emergence of hell

We must understand that the device of the universe was constantly changing radically. Initially, the Universe was not, but only the Lord God was. The Lord created two worlds - the two universes that are interrelated, the world is invisible and the world visible. We are hearing about this every day at the evening worship when reading 103 Psalm. And the visible and invisible worlds split due to the fall: the first - Dennica and the Angels following him, the second - through the fall of the first people of Adam and Eve. Together with sin in the visible world, diseases, degeneration and death came. The Lord said to Adam: "... Earth Esi, and in the land of deceleration" (Gen. 3, 19). I mean this not only what a person leaves the body to the ground, but also the fact that the human soul goes into the underground abyss of hell.

So continued to the redeeming Resurrection of the Son of God.

The Bible is clear to us well and describes in detail the device of hell. Hell, according to the Word of God, this is a kind of huge underground place (Is. 14, 15), of course, not in the literal sense of the word. Although many, mistaken and understanding the words of the Bible literally, looking for him in the bowels of the earth.

About five or seven years ago, we went to publish that allegedly the drillers found hell underground. However, it is interesting that people who reprinted these publications did not pay attention to the issue number of the newspaper, which laid the origin. The newspaper was released on April 1, and people just got on this joke. Indeed, the underground in some way with hell is connected. This is stated in the lives of some saints and other sources of church legend. But this connection is not geographical, does not mean that hell is geographically below. Hell in some sense at the bottom, but in another dimension. Our world has another dimension, except for three dimensions of space and time. This, I think, each of us understands for the reason that we can predict the events, we can aware of the time as such. If we lived only in three dimensions, we would obviously could not understand this, realize. And indeed, our soul also belongs to the world invisible, which refers to this world as a certain additional dimension.

And so, according to the Word of God, the hell, who appeared as a result of the rebellion of the first people, is the dungeon of the shower, as the Apostle Peter says. As if the CPP (a chair of the preliminary conclusion), but not the place of torment, not a place of punishment, but the place where the souls are like in a memorical sleep, as the Bible says. What is the sense of sleep? Here we should clearly understand what Jehovah's Witnesses are right, who believe that the soul falls asleep. For Jehovah's Witnesses, death is a dream without dreams. Maybe Jehovah's Witnesses are not seen, but here we all know that a dream is not a comatose state. In a dream, our consciousness works, but some special way. That is, we can even realize themselves. But we cannot affect the dream itself. Do you understand what's the matter? I see something, but I can not influence. I feel something, I feel something, and change something impossible. You see, such a comparison with sleep is exactly accurate. Both in the usual dream and in the underground world, the man who went to the underground souls, is waiting for the same fate.

Hell is a place having a certain structure. Depending on the measure of the evil that a person did, it is above or lower in this place. Until the coming of the Lord in Heru was a special branch for righteous. It was separated from all the hell of a certain precipice, but it was, nevertheless, in hell. It was called Lone Abraham. Remember, in the parable of rich and Lazar, some Sheol is clearly described, that is, an invisible place, and, in fact, hell, means underground place (hades - Greek, underground kingdom). Sheol is an invisible place, because there is darkness.

In this Sheol, there was a special place allocated for the righteous people who hoped for Christ, at the coming of God, the intervention of God in history, who met with Christ with God during his lifetime. And this meeting experience did their life saturated, hope made their lives more dense, if you like, than the life of the remaining inhabitants of hell.

But now there are no there, because when the Lord is our Jesus Christ went to hell, what did he do? He freed all the righteous. He also freed those sinners who repented of their sin in his sin, served in one God and tried to come to him. The Lord took them too, because they believed in him and came to him.

After the Lord destroyed the Gate of Hell, there was an opportunity to come out of it, and then those people who wanted this opportunity. And they wanted those who were looking for God during life, because, if a person was not looking for a god in his life, he no longer need to want to leave hell, because after death there is no repentance.

The ability to exit hell is preserved for those people who accepted the Holy Baptism. This is built, for example, an amazing and mysterious chin, who is committed every Pentecost, when we are during the second prayer facing Christ the Savior, ask about those souls who are in hell, hoping that they will be provided with mercy and help, relief in their condition.

Heought was defeated, and Satan was deprived of power. Now he is in hell. Previously, it was not there. You should know that Satan used to go to hell on prisoners, but in no case lived there. Satan's power was elsewhere. It was in the air, so it is called the prince of the air region. It is very important to know this. Why? Because the idea that demons in hell live is extremely dangerous to us by virtue of practical considerations.

According to the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, the hell is arranged in such a way that usually the souls of people were next to the souls of their ancestors to the forefather of a certain people. So, all the ancestors of the first nations lay as it were in coffins, reasonable souls with consciousness, but not can change anything. They lay in coffins, and their descendants were lying around them. Hence, by the way, the concept of the cult of ancestors arises. From here it also arises such a thing that in that light it is very important where you were buried, and with whom they were buried. It is from here that an attitude towards cemeteries, which is from the Russian people, not only among Russian, but also from other peoples of our planet, the attitude as some special places that are somehow related to gravity fate. They were really connected, but before.

But now a person is absolutely indifferent to his soul, where his body will be. Even if the human body is burned, if the man himself did not want it, there will be no sin for him, and damage his body, there will be no soul. When the holy martyrs were burned, did they make them somehow flawed? Not. Do you understand? It is very important to remember this, because sometimes people understand this is not properly.

The land on which we live with you is largely for us the place of heart attachments. How the Lord said: "For where your treasure is, there will be your heart" (Matt. 6, 21). And a person is associated with the Earth closely. Here is a man loves the earth, loves some things on this earth, loves some bodily fans. All these things do not pass in vain. What a person loves the Earth more, the more he is tied to her, the hardest to part with it. We will talk about fate, about the nature of the dying of the soul, what happens when a person dies.

Where are we getting when you leave the body? From the body we will not fall into hell, we will fall into the air. And the question arises here: who lives there? This is clearly necessary to understand.

I decided to tell this story, although I considered her intimate when I read at the Father, namely, it will be discussed, the thought that you need to preach forces to preach, to tell people about the fishery of God, about the miracle.

At the lifetime of the father of Daniel, I never saw, I did not read books and found out about it only after his death. However, our meeting took place. Late in the late autumn, at the end of November 2009 ,. The murder story was very touched me, there was such a strong emotional surge, bitterness and severity in the soul. "This is a martyr," I thought with a shock. And then began to remember the father in their prayers.

On the next Sunday on the liturgy, I, as usual, stood next to Tatiana Pavlovna. This is our parishioner, choking from childhood, from a good Orthodox family, now she has been more than 90 years old. In the temple, we met.

There was a lot of recruitment. I prayed for the deceased my Orthodox affinations and benefactors and, of course, for the father of Daniel - he did not let heaven. And suddenly, at this point, Tatyana Pavlovna stretches to me a book. I just lost the gift of speech, because it was written on the cover: the priest Daniel Sysoev "Instructions for immortal or what to do if you still died ...". It was unexpectedly and comforting for me - to feel in touch with all the living and deceased, with all people, because we are in one church. Neither before nor after that Tatiana Pavlovna did not bring any books to me.

So through my friend, I received a gift from the priest, with whom I was not familiar, but for which I still pray.

The topic, as you understand, is relevant absolutely for everyone, because, you want - do not want, you still have to die.

Since the time of Adam and Eve, unfortunately, death became fate of all people, albeit sad, although not normal, albeit unnatural, although not to God's plan about a person, but, nevertheless, it became no one Our second nature, which the Lord defeated his resurrection. But he did not give us an immortal life now, in a twarm body, which would be cruelty, and gave us the resurrection in the immortal body. In this very, but immortal. It is clear why the Lord did not give us an immortal life now: make yourself, here you are - grandmothers, would you like to do not die and hurt all the time
- Not.
- Imagine here when people say that they always want to live without thinking about what to live is always good, but it would be very desirable to live without illness. Agree, so?
And, of course, we are with you, speaking of death, I have to understand the device of the universe, to understand that with us happens in life.
We must understand that the device has ever been constantly changing radically. Initially, the Universe was not, but only the Lord God was. The Lord created two worlds - the two universes that are interrelated, the world is invisible and the world visible. We are hearing about this every day at the evening worship when reading 103 Psalm. And the visible, and invisible worlds split due to the fall: the first - Dennica and the angels following him, the second - through the fall of the first people of Adam and Eve. Together with sin in the visible world, diseases, degeneration and death came. The Lord told Adam: "... ECU Earth, and in the land of alliants" (Gen. 3, 19). I mean this not only what a person leaves the body to the ground, but also the fact that the human soul goes into the underground abyss of hell.
So continued to the redeeming Resurrection of the Son of God.
The Bible is clear to us well and describes in detail the device of hell.

And so, according to the Word of God, the hell, who appeared as a result of the rebellion of the first people, is the dungeon of the shower, as the Apostle Peter says. As if the CPR (the chamber of the preliminary detention), but not the place of torment, it is not a place of punishment, but a place where the souls are like in a memorical dream, as the Bible says. What is the sense of sleep? Here we should clearly understand what Jehovah's Witnesses are right, who believe that the soul falls asleep. For Jehovah's Witnesses, death is a dream without dreams.

You see, such a comparison with sleep is exactly accurate. Both in the usual dream and in the underground world, the man who went to the underground souls, is waiting for the same fate.
Further a few words about the hell. Hell is a gentle underlander in which people come after the fall. And until now, unreleased people go there, everything is without exception.
Hell is a place having a certain structure. Depending on the measure of the evil that a person did, it is above or lower in this place. Until the coming of the Lord in Heru was a special branch for righteous. It was separated from all the adhesions of some kind of passion, but it was, nevertheless, in hell. It was called Lone Abraham. Remember, in the parable of rich and Lazar, a certain Sheol is clearly described, i.e. invisible place, and, actually, hell means underground place (hades
- Greek, underground kingdom). Sheol is an invisible place, because there is darkness.
In this Sheol, there was a special place, led to the righteous people who hoped for Christ, at the coming of God, the intervention of God in history, who met with Christ the God during his lifetime. And this meeting experience did their life saturated, hope made their lives more dense, if you like, than the life of the remaining inhabitants of hell.
But now there are no there, because when the Lord is our Jesus Christ went to hell, what did he do? He freed all the righteous. So he freed those sinners who repeated in their sin, served a single God and tried to come to him. The Lord took them too, because they believed in him and came to him.

And they wanted those who were looking for God during life, because if the man did not look for God during the lifetime, he no longer want to leave hell, because after death there is no repentance.

So, all the ancestors of the first nations lay as it were in coffins, reasonable souls who have the coordination, but not can change anything. They lay in coffins, and their descendants were lying around them. Hence, by the way, the concept of the cult of ancestors arises. From here it also arises such a thing that in that light it is very important where you were buried, and with whom they were buried. It is from here that an attitude towards cemeteries, which is from the Russian people, not only among Russian, but also from other peoples of our planet, the attitude as some special places that are somehow connected with acquiring participatory fate. They were really connected, but before.
But now a person is absolutely indifferent to his soul, where his body will be. Even if the human body is burned, if the man himself did not want it, there will be no sin for him, and damage his body, there will be no soul. When the holy martyrs were burned, there was somehow damaged them somehow? Not. Do you understand? It is very important to remember this, because sometimes people understand this is not properly.
The land on which we live with you is largely for us the place of heart attachments. As the Lord said: "For where your treasure is, there will be your heart" (Matt. 6, 21). And a person is associated with the Earth closely. Here is a man loves the Earth, loves some things on this earth, loves some bodily things. All these things do not pass in vain. What a person loves the Earth more, the more he is tied to her, the hardest to part with it. We will talk about fate, about the nature of the dying of the soul, which is happening when the man is dying.
Where are we getting when you leave the body? From the body we will not get into hell, we will fall in the urban. And the question arises here: who lives there? This is clearly necessary to understand. The land of the Earth is the Kingdom of Satan. Over the Earth, the region of spirits are suburban, this is the place where the devil is owned. Sacred Scripture speaks directly. It is also called: "The Spirit of the Evils Podted" (Eph. 6, 12), the "Prince of the air region", he rules in this near-earth kingdom. What is it connected with? According to the ancient Scripture, based on reading the Prophet of Ezekiel, Cherubs named Lucifer was originally an angel guardian of the planet Earth, when he was still faithful to God (IEA 28, 13-16). According to God, the Earth is the core of the world. Lucifer was the first of the angels, so the highest of the angels were trusted over the core material of the material universe. It is with this that when the rebellious Cherubis rebelled against God and, when a person was supported in this rebellion, he was able to create an elevate in his own dark kingdom. Dark it from the point of view that as it were to darkness, because there is no divine light. Any of the most unclean place on Earth is an oasis of purity compared to the impure of the above-ground kingdom, but in contemplation this place is often filled with fake light, because, as the Apostle Paul says, "Satan himself takes the kind of angel of light" (2 Cor. 11, 14 ). He can also be people in other images, but all this is not a real, changing, as if the mask, which he puts on. And it glows with some own light - luciferic. This light sees the occultists, magicians, magicians. And they are very clearly called the place where the devil lives. The place is called the astral from the word "Astrum", i.e. star. This is the lifestyle. This place is called space. It means not material space because the cosmos is subordinated to the Creator, and the combination of people and angels who live according to the laws of evil. And here the Satan is owing them. Therefore, when they mention about the cosmic mind, we are talking about Satan. If you are offered to chat with cosmic mind, then you should understand what you are offered to contact them personally with Lucifer, but in no case with God. Heaven is subordinated to God so far, they are inhabited by blissful spirits.
The Bible has three sky. In the second message to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul says: "I know a man in Christ, which is back of that fourteen years (in the body of Lee - I do not know if there is no body - I do not know: God knows) admired by the third sky. And I know about such a person (I just don't know - in the body, or outside the body: God knows) that he was admired to heaven and heard the ineverance words, whom a person cannot be retended. Such a person can boil; I do not touch myself, unless you are meless "(2 Cor. 12, 2-5). The Apostle Paul says in this passage about himself, but in the third face, describing how it was not, and another person. So, the first sky is the atmosphere, the second sky is the outer space, and the world is invisible to the third sky. In the borders of the invisible world and was delighted with the apostle Paul, where he contemplated God. He was also delighted with paradise, which, being the highest part of the Earth, is separated from her by a rotating fiery sword. But, nevertheless, it is the highest and most beautiful part of the Earth. As Efrem Sirin said, it is, and, in a sense, achievable, even for people in the flesh. I do not know if in the body, or not. And this paradise is also a preliminary location of the shower. As John Zlatoust said, we got more than lost, lost paradise, and we were promised to the kingdom of God. But the kingdom of God is not yet available, and in the new Jerusalem there is not a single resident. He was created by God, but not yet populated. It will be populated when the Lord comes down with heavenly fire to us: it will be on the end of the world.
And, finally, the above all the worlds reigns in his endless kingdom, which fills everything that keeps everything that leads everything that permeates everything and which is the most. He himself is a place for all and itself for himself.
God is everywhere. Is God in hell? The Bible speaks directly - Will hell: "Whether to go up to the sky - you are there," says King David, "Lee will come to hell - and there you" (Ps. 138, 8). God's power fills absolutely everything, and all by his will exist. Such is the structure of the universe in which we live.
Now, with regard to our soul. What is the soul? Many believe that some kind of separate "man" lives inside us, and you don't want to believe in the soul. But remember that the soul is the mind with will and feelings. Obviously, if a person does not believe that he has a mind, he is called insane, which is logical. With such a person, talking about nothing about, which, with insane, brownless chubban about what to talk about? In fact, the soul is the mind, which has the will and feelings, which has some kind of life ability, an enlivent body.
John Damaskin distinguishes the reasonable part in our soul and unreasonable. The reasonable part is, as I said, the highest part of the soul. Above only in the soul, the mind, which is also called spirit, because it is in him the Holy Spirit. Through the mind, he sanctifies the whole person. Therefore, a person comes to the church in faith, which first transforms the mind, then conquers the will and feelings. This is how the unreasonable part of our soul is divided into a subject reason and beyond. The subject part of the mind, for example, anger. He was created by God and is invested in us so that we will be distilled off from themselves sins. And there are things, simply beyond our mind, but they also belong to our soul. This, for example, is the power that gives us the opportunity to grow and develop, which supports life in our body. This force is not subject to our body, but it also has a manifestation of our soul, possessing will and feeling. Those ideas when the soul is described in the form of a separate little man living inside us have common sense under it.
The soul has a different spiritual body management mechanism. There is such a concept: phantom pain. For example, a person will cut the leg, and it hurts him, because the lowest part of the soul, besides the mind, continues to look for the missing organ. As Grigory Nissky says, the soul carries an imprint of a kind of body to himself, as it is abnormal to be a disembodied being for a person. That is why we believe on the resurrection of the flesh, and not just on the resurrection of the souls. The person who believes in the immortality of the soul and believes that after death immediately falls into the kingdom of heaven and will receive the completeness of bliss, the Christian is not.
Death, as mentioned earlier, is also an abnormal state, but the death of a Christian is fundamentally different from the death of a man-age, which does not have the concept of Christianity. What is the difference between the nature of man? The Christian person does not destroy the person, and the Nechristian is destroyed, because not only the soul is in the concept of "person's personality", but also the body. "I am painful," says man, although his body hurts, and the soul is completely healthy. At unreleased when he dies, the division of the soul and body occurs, the strength binding their strength is lost. The body remains to lie in the grave, and the soul goes into the underground abyss in anticipation of the vessel. Christian is not so. He has a connection between his soul and body remains, because God is omnipresent, and the body and soul are sealed by God when baptism, when a person receives a print of the world-building - the seal of the Holy Spirit. The seal is placed on the body, and the soul is also consecrated. When a Christian takes the body and the blood of the Lord, he becomes the feast of Christ, in his veins, in the literal sense, the blood of Christ pours, and the flesh of a person becomes the flesh of Christ, the ripening speed is not related to the ripening. This is how the book of the wisdom of King Solomon says:
"... the souls of the righteous in the hand of God, and the torment will not affect them. In the eyes of unreasonable, they seemed dead, and their outcome was considered the death, which is an appearance from us - destruction; But they are in the world. For, although they are punished in the eyes of people, but the hope of their full of immortality. And a little punished, they will be much varying, because God experienced them and found them worthy of him. He experienced them as gold in the horn and accepted them as a sacrifice from the victim. During the reward they will reach as sparks, running on a stalk. We will judge the tribes and dominious about the peoples, and above them will be the Lord to reign forever. Hope for him to know the truth, and the faithful in love will be in his love; For grace and mercy with Holy Holy and Industion about his favorites "(Prem. 3, 1-9); And then the Lord says: "... The righteous, if it dies at the time, it will be alone, for not in durability honest old age and not the number of years is measured: the wisdom is gray for people, and an extinguishable life is an old age. As the benefit of God, he beloved, and, as the sinners who lived in the afternoon, was supposed to be admired, so that the malice did not change his mind, or the cunning did not prengele his soul. For the exercise in dishonor is dying good, and the excitement of lust corrupts the mind of the kind. Having achieved perfection in a short time, he fulfilled long summer; For his soul was pleased with the Lord, because he accelerated from the wrency environment. And people saw it and did not understand, did not even think about the grace and mercy with Holy Holy and the industrial about his favorites. The righteous, dying, condemns the living wicked, and soon reached perfection of youth - the long-term old age of the wrong "(Prem. 3, 7-16). See, what is the question of maturity in the eyes of God? There are sometimes such cases that the Lord leaves the righteous righteous for some time on earth. This is done in order for the person thus testifying to eternity before the eyes of people. The man has already matured, he lives in eternal life here on earth, but the Lord saves him to bring someone to him through him. Here we see that the Lord does everything in will.
Now, as for sinners. The Lord takes sinners when they reach the limits of evil. This is also known. The people were impatient, and the Lord took him to takeoff when he was ripe for evil. But there are exceptions here. For example, Pharaoh, King Egyptian, reached the limits of evil, and the Lord left him. What for? Then, to show its strength and glory to her so that the name of God is scared to all nations. He seemed to be clearly, how to do no need, and what will happen to those who will behave badly. The Lord specially says that in his eyes it was already a dead man, but he was left to show all the divine power. Stand for visual agitation, if you want. It is with this that there are cases when extreme flaws remain on earth. The Lord specifically leaves them to show their glory to them and remind people that it is impossible to bind to earth. Earth is not the kingdom of God, in the sense that this is not a place where people will live forever. Even the Blessed Augustine in the creations raises the question: why do not even righteies sometimes get evil rulers? After all, we know that they are not a man, but God. He puts the kings and will fall back, as he wants. God does so that people are not getting used to, did not think that their whole hope should be connected * with earthly success of the country. Therefore, he sends the evil rulers so that a person is distracted from the worldly fuss and searched for the Divine Kingdom, which nonsense. I think that in Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin very much to the ground is not tied. Thus, the Lord did his job.
But back to our topic. Finally, there are so-called "medium people", which the Lord also takes. This is because God knows: when a person matures, he can fall into some serious sin. He takes him before that. These are the main directions that occur when death comes. Naturally, this term is not known for us. There are cases when the Lord opens the time of death, but it happens rarely. Why? Because otherwise, a person would say: "I still do not die soon, now I walk away from the soul, and then I'll still have everything." And then it would not happen to repent, because sin would become the second nature, and * a person would not be able to enter eternity. Therefore, the Lord hides the time of death, and you always need to remember. In John the Dissival, there is a brilliant rule that he tells the priest, a shepherd: "You never miss any incumbency that a person will die." We now have a reverse culture. We all told all the time: "We try not to talk about death." For example, how did the coffins worned before? In the village of the revered man carry in his arms. Yes? Then we went by cars, through the whole city we were lucky with the orchestra. And now in the "Pazik" closed, the curtains deployed so that no one saw, and went.
I often deal with dying dying, dead. I wonder how often people try to get rid of the dead! This is due to the fact that a person is afraid to think about death. In fact, this is a completely wrong approach. A normal Christian should strive as King Solomon says, the bowl "go to the house crying about the dead than to go to the house of the pyr" (Ecc. 7, 2). Therefore, it is very useful to go to the cemetery.
We have seminarians loved to go to the morgue. I remember, too, went. Very sobering feeling, in yourself. You quickly. Some saints in the cells were skulls, coffins and other reminders of death. Many still died their grave.
- Why do babies die?
- For the same reason. The Lord sees if the baby is crumbled, he can now fall into the kingdom of God, A. I have known to live, will become a robber. Here is a famous story: Angel deprived the life of the baby. One monk wanted to learn the fate of God, and he was discovered that the baby with age would be the head of the gang of robbers, and now he will fall into the kingdom of God. The death of babies explain still
that a person very quickly can achieve the heights of righteousness. Here we have - Kick. How many kirika was it? Three years was a martyr Kyrica. Great Righteous in Heaven. And Bethlehem babies? The Lord knows the path of man. The Lord can know what is called, to calculate. God sees the free Will of man, although
And does not define it. He uses free will and murderers, and other people in order to fulfill their decision. The killer sins, disturbing the commandment of God, but he can not attend the will of God. Clear, yes? Because, if the Lord is not pleased with any murder, he will not allow this: a misfire will occur, an explosive device will break down, etc. Examples abound.
Here, I looked at the news, I was the terrorist attack in India, 65 people died, while two good explosives did not explode. It was pleased to the Lord so that these people were killed, and these are not. Statistics says that in the broken aircraft by a third more than those who are late or those people who passed tickets. You see, all by the will of God occurs. Although evil this is not justified. The evil will of a person is used to commit the good will of the Lord, but it is impossible to justify evil. Just God uses them. That's all.
Now, what death is better? The best death for a Christian, of course, martyrdom for Christ the Savior. This is the best death that is possible for a person in principle. Some sent condolences to Optio desert after the murder of three monks, for a Christian, it is actually the greatest joy. In the ancient church, never condolences were sent when someone was killed somewhere. All churches have always immediately sent congratulations. Imagine, congratulate with the fact that they have a new defender in heaven! Martyr death is blends all sins without exception, except for heresy and raccol. All other sins - fornication, murder, adultery - wash off. Heresy is the distortion of the teachings of the Church, not for ignorance, namely the conscious, which is against the will of God. So? And the split is the organization of the rebellion against the church. All other sins are washed away. Remember the martyr of vonifati! We all led the Slavic language all the time. As in due time the Slavs missed the word "martyr", since then we always understand it incorrectly. In general, the word "martyr" can not be perceived in the meaning of the martyr. This is a witness. That's just like Arabs - Shahid. Only they have the witness that the Spirit-Allah is angry, and we have a testimony that Christ is good and defeated death. Therefore, the martyr is the one who has witnessed his death that Christ defeated the death that he was saved from the dead. That is what the essence of the swollen, and not that man is tormented. We have martyrs who died at all their death. For example, the Pearral Martyr Fekla, who died his death, but she is a martyr. Or, for example, the martyr of Golinduha or the Holy Quicker. It is known that they, although they passed through torture, through bullying, but died by their death. At the same time, they are martyrs, because the Word of God's Word of His Life, His Death.
Now, of course, we always pray. I think, each of us with a sincere heart falls as a cross sign and makes a bow when we pray for the "Christian death of our abdominal, painless, non-peculiar, peaceful, and a good answer to the terrible court of Christ" we ask. I hope each of us will sincerely wishes. If we talk about the death of life, it is interesting that from such natural death, the best of which you guessed. Therefore, it is often believed that cancer is the mercy of God, because a person knows that in a few months he will die. He can prepare, he may be reconciled with people, he can somehow correct himself, prepare for eternity.
And the most terrible death, which is possible for a Christian, is the death of a sudden, because such a person goes into the eternity unsolved.
- And what, not need to be treated?
- It is necessary to be treated. Who says it is not necessary to be treated? According to the current legislation, the doctor who hides the diagnosis is a criminal and is punished, in my opinion, up to three years of imprisonment. And this is true. The doctor is obliged to say not to a relative, but the patient himself. This article was introduced, it seems in 1995 following the example of the West.
- What if relatives do not say?
- They are criminals. If a person knows about the approach of death and hides it, he is a criminal. This is a terrible person. It is not good to lie, and even more so in such cases. AIDS is a punishment of God, which can lead to human correction. In 90% of cases, AIDS is due to what? Due to drugs or homosexuality. Infected children constitute only 3% of those who have become infected with AIDS; 90%, and for some sources, 95%, is drug addiction and debauchery. This is an obvious Kara God. But back to the topic. How to prepare for death? What do you need to do with the disease? "Does any of you be sick, let him call the presbyters of the Church, and let him put on him, anointing him with a bare person in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will heal the sore, and the Lord restores him; And if he fell sins, they will face him "(Iac. 5, 14-15). We are resorting to the binding during the disease, but still there is a myth that is ascending to Roman Catholic teachings, that the conciliation is the last anointing. This is mistake. Cobble is given just for healing, and it is very often becoming therapeutic sacrament. In my eyes there were a lot of healing. I know the priests, which themselves witnessed hundreds, thousands of healing after cobbled. Why? Because the Lord, healing a sick person, proves him that his body will be resurrected. You see why healing is given? To convince us in the resurrection of the body, because if the body has no value if it rotches in the grave, then it does not mean any sense. Therefore, in any disease, it is necessary to resort to the sacrament of the core.
If you have a diagnosis that can take to death (oncology or other cases), it is necessary to prepare as follows. First, it is necessary to minimize all your worldly things, i.e. It is necessary to say goodbye with earthly affairs. You should pay with debts so that they do not lie on other people. In mandatory, it is necessary to reconcile with all the neighbors. It must be done so that you have had a lot of free time. The devil in us leads a corruption life. He tries to drive us a fuss so that we can not extend. This is stated in the Bible when Moses came to Pharaoh and said: "Let my people go" (Ex. 5, 1). What did Faraphon say? "You are celebrating, therefore say: let's go, bring the victim to the Lord" (Ex. 5, 17). It is the devil that so far and says (so it is called spiritual pharaoh) so that people with bustle run and forgot about everything.
If you learned a disappointing diagnosis, you need to try to highlight more free time. Note, now we have the opposite. People, having learned about the diagnosis, try to download themselves more, so that you do not think about death. This is silly. It must be thought about it. You need to look into your soul and look for what we do not have enough, urgently do good deeds, which is possible now. The bottom line is that from your death case depends on what trajectory you will leave to eternity. An image of this: how much the plane is being retelling, it will take up so cool up. That is, the more you strive for divine life before death, the higher you will raise into the kingdom of God. Remember that our task is not easy to get to the paradise, and get there as above as possible; How can you get gifts as much as possible. God wishes to her children so that they want more, not smaller.
The temptation that happens before death is the temptation of despondency. A terrible longguard, and he says: "How, for what, why am I dying now?" This question does not make sense. You need to put such a question: what should I do now? Remember that long-life longing, she is not from God. Christ is called God the Word. "In the beginning there was a word, and the Word was God, and the word was God" (John 1, 1). God is our Christ, he is Logos, so a Christian is fully logical, and all sorts of wordless desires go from the enemy of God. Who wants to deprive us? Tolly the enemy of God. Any despondency, they are not from God. And how are they treated? Hope. Despair is treated with aspiration. When a person sees that for him there is a threat to death, what should he have to land? The Symbol of Faith said: "Summary of the Dead and the Life of the Future Age." This is the best cure for longing and despondency. There is little time, you need to thank the Lord for the fact that he opened the approaching herbs, therefore, it's time to pack the suitcases. Stupid people say: "Before death, it will be." What for? It is better to pack suitcases truly. For example, you bought a ticket and went to relax to another country to the resort. You will need to buy anything there, and you will exchange rubles for dollars or euros. Do we have conversion? In the same way, going to the next light, it is necessary to urgently convert as much as possible so that there was something to live there.
Alms, in the literal, in the heavenly treasury we collect property. The Lord says: "Sell your estates and let's alms. Prepare the vagina you are invisible, the treasure is unspecifying in heaven, where the thief is not approaching, and where the mole does not eat; For where your treasure is, there will be yours there and your heart "(Lux 12, 33-34).
What is your task? Urgently, as much as possible to collect your capital. But, if I go to another country with good capital, but naked, it will also be very nice. There climatic problems can begin. So? Therefore, it is necessary to see what my clothes I have, is not a drain whether to disambigate foreigners.
In the same way when we leave this world, you need to see what our clothes are in the soul. The Lord says about the Lodician church says: "For you say:" I am rich, rich and never have anything "; And you do not know that you are unhappy, both pity, and a pension, and blind, and naked. I advise you to buy gold from me, the fire is peeled to get rich, and white clothes to dress and so that there was no sink of nudity of your nudity, and the eye of the melting eyes your eyes to see "(Rev. 3, 17-18) . So our task is to wonder what we have with soul, clothes. What is the soul dressed? Virtue. And so you need to see what we do not have enough to urgently start correcting. Remember that any passion with which you do not struggle will eat you, because after death, all passions get out out. Notice, it does not know that it is necessary to cope. This, of course, is very cool to cope and be impassive. What is the best kind of death? When the Holy Spirit will tell you that you are already saved. There is such a thing as the assurance - the special state of the heights of the spiritual life, when the Holy Spirit of the Holy Man himself says that you get to the kingdom of heaven. Here, the apostle Paul said about this: "I will face the feat of good, the course did, I retained faith; And now I am preparing a crown of the truth that the Lord will give me, the righteous judgment, on day; And not only to me, but also to everyone who loved his phenomenon "(2 Tim. 4, 7-8). That is, the apostle Paul firmly knew that he would be saved. In the same way, for example, it is interesting that Anthony Great was adepened before his death, because he was sure that his Lord would save, as he said to him himself. Remember, Seraphim Sarovsky said: "Come to me on the grave, I will pray for you to God." And the blessed Matron also said. Why? Because they were such self-confident? No, because they received a certificate from the Holy Spirit, which and with them, as we know, we have a bad relationship, I hope. I would not really want them to be good. Therefore, when a meeting with evil spirits will have to fight. For this, it is necessary not only to check the clothes that we have to be, but also weapons that need to be used for the battle with them. What should be weapons? The Apostle Paul in the message to Ephesians in the sixth chapter describes in detail the technology of preparation for this terrible day. "Enjoy the all-arms of God so that you can become against the goatirates, because our brands are not against blood and flesh, but against the bosses, against the authorities, against the methods of the darkness of the century, against the spirits of the Evil Middle Kingdom. For this, take the all-arms of God, so that you could resist the evil day and, all overcoming, resist "(Eph. 6, 11-13). A fierce day is a day of death, a meeting day with dark princes, so you need to take all the weapons, check how our business is about. What the whole must be? "So, stand up, pregnant Czrest your truth," says Feofan. The crawl of mind should be pregnant truth. First-in-free pure body must be terminated by the Blud, debauchery and similar fancy. The mind should dive into contemplation of God's dogmas. It is necessary before death to test himself in dogmatic theology, because the person who is in paradise is asked as a password. Do you know? No password is not allowed. The Symbol of Faith is a password of God's kingdom. It is impossible without it. And the word "symbol" itself and means a password.
- And we can not forget it?
"If you are not thought about, then, of course, you will forget it, and if it was interesting, of course, you will not forget." So, you will first need to check yourself. Next, it is necessary to "lie down in the armor of righteousness", i.e. You need to check, we all command at this moment or not all. Further - "footwear of the feet in the willingness to prevail the world." That is, you need to put your legs, and what? Readiness to go on the Gospel to the world of God. Are you ready to always walk in Evangelsk? At this moment you need to check yourself. "Schedule all take seats faith, which you can fade all the hot arrows of the flaws." Look at how trusted God. Check yourself devote despondency or despair, you easily beat them off or not easy. And if not easy, ask God for the multiplication of faith Yes. Further. "And take the helmet of salvation." Salvation helmet, that is, solid hope for salvation from God. Now, with regard to battle. Remember that you are given a weapon for the fight: the helmet so that there was a hope for salvation, the sword so that the Word of God so that they fight demons, and prayers, the word of God to drive them out. It is necessary that the solid knows the knowledge of dogmas so that you will not be knocked off any demon, and that everything is ready for righteousness.
"And the sword is spiritual, which is the Word of God." First, read the Word of God. I believe that if a person fell ill, for example, some severe disease, which can lead to death, it must be completely, from beginning to end, reread all the sacred writing or at least start. Remember, please, that the Word of God is used by us not only as text, but also as the highest form of prayer. After all, what is the difference between Orthodox prayer from sectarian? Sectarians pray in their own words, and Orthodox pray the Bible. Therefore, when they say that the Orthodox is not biblical, it is nonsense. Here are the sectarians are not biblical. They poured pieces from the Bible and poke them, not knowing anything. I "myself personally conducted a dispute with Protestants. They do not know the Bible at all. They show some place, they say: "Oh, and we didn't know." They are coming quotes. They are not perceived by the Bible as something whole. And we, Christians, pray to the word of God, we live. We noticed how many readings the Bible is in the service? La almost the whole service. LAW Canon Andrei Cretoch is all satisfied in the Bible. Therefore, the Word of God is attentive, and pray to them (in short). Clear? We teach yourself to pray continuously. The drove of God urges incessantly praying: "And so awake for every time and pray" (Luke 21, 36), and we must check ourselves, we are constantly praying or not. This is especially well detected when fear attacks are poured. This is worth the prince of darkness, and it is distilled off only by prayer. We are not ready for this. What do you need to do? You need to turn off all thoughts. Teach yourself to this and technology must be remembered. Disconnect the thoughts and only focus only on the words of prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, a lot of sinful. The Most Holy Master of the Virgin, help. Lord, the power of the honest Cross to protect me. Glory to Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and now and at the age of centuries. Amen". All the sharms drop, even though they will go there the most convincing thoughts, but these are thoughts from Satan, who want to drive you into despair and destroy. This is a check attack, and it will be the strongest after death, so it is necessary to prepare yourself.
Now, with regard to how our neighbor can help us. We must ask them if they ourselves cannot go to the temple of God so that they as often brought home the priest home. And it is especially important to try to compete on the very day of death, because in the ancient legend, confirmed by practice, the man, who adequately met the body and the blood of the Lord, after death is not available to attack Satan. In it, Christ. As stated by the Apostle Paul, which commits with the Lord becomes one of the Spirit with the Lord (1 Cor. 10, 16-17). Do you understand? Therefore, the devil has very big problems with this Christian. It is very good to pray to Saint Varvar, so that there is no sudden death. Do not forget about the Holy Varvar. Now we will talk about death. What are the steps? Having learned the diagnosis, the man does not believe first, then perturbed, protests, calms down, and this humility begins. This happens at the unforgement people. The believers should have time for the collaboration, in order to urgently finish all their affairs. Do you understand that you have little time? Thank God that you know that you have time limited, so you can prepare. About debts I have already said. About the word of God, I already said. About the virtues, what should be started to make, check which one needs to be arranged, said. Try, if you can walk, to be in the temple of God, you can not even in the liturgical time. You can sit with a book: With the Word of God, with the Holy Fathers. Configure your mind to think more about God. Try to watch the TV as little as possible. He entertains you and do not need you. Especially at this point, the entertainment is absolutely not needed. Talk to your relatives, talk to them, be sure to give a testament to your children. What a testament? Not only financial, but also spiritual; Direct them on the light of God, because you are responsible for them. Our ancestors were not afraid of death. Previously, the princes wrote a big testament, where they described finance, land and most importantly - the spiritual will gave the spiritual testament. What to do, what not to do. They did not have a hysterical panic, this is at the present time hysteria went.
- Everyone was always afraid of death.
- Not true!
- There was no hysteria, but the death of I was afraid.
- Not true! Not all death was afraid. Christian death was not afraid. Those lyuli who were serious about faith, they were not afraid of death.
Now the death begins to approach. How is it determined? First, it should be remembered that with cancerous diseases, the pain often cease to death, because the body is surrendered - this is the last great mercy of God. As I said, you need to take the body and the blood of the Lord. It is necessary, of course, to collect your relatives, loved ones, to talk to them, and then stay alone to, be in prayer, to be with God. At the same time, close can sit next to you, silent. So. You can ask for a person to read the holy gospel out loud, which has a powerful power. It and the soul during death adjusts the corresponding way. Therefore, try not to leave people in hospice, do not shrug them into hospitals. Better to die at home. Thank God, there are many Orthodox hospitals, but it's still better not to do.
Often before the death of the eye in a person begin to gradually open. He begins to see another world. They come often dead relatives, God's angels come, or, on the contrary, evil spirits. To this, you have to be prepared, because the person gradually swells this skin covering, lying in front of people from the moment of falling, and it opens for another reality. Here you need to remember that Satan is a talker. He has much less forces than it seems. As stated in Scripture, "the enemy is deceived weapons to the end" (Ps. 9, 7). That is, the enemy completely lost his weapon since the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Therefore, if some ghosts will appear, demons will be intimidated, do not forget that their task is to intimidate you. They have no strength. Remember, as I said once, when the demon came to Anthony. Huge Besar, a giant to the clouds with red eyes black. Anthony just looked over him:
"So what you came to me," says Anthony Great, "if you want - here I am, Anthony, if you have to get power from God - take, please." And if not, what came to me? Well, what did you come to me?! Well, what do you need from me? !! Here, I will croser you, and go from here.
Anthony crossed him, and the demon escaped.
Here is the Angel of God, when his God sent the Assyrians to kill, he did not suit any demonstrations before them, he went, destroyed them and left. When God sent angels to destroy the firstborn of Egyptian, they did that, some demonstrations did? Yes No, they just came, made the case and left. You see, without reservations. And so in fact it was often, the saints so treated the will of God, so you treat that. Is it possible? Cross sign, prayer appeal to God, but only without pride. Remember that with us the crop power, but provided that we pray to God. Therefore, we say: "Fences us, Lord, the power of honestly and a life-giving your cross and save us from any evil." Baptize yourself. With these words, as John Zlatoust said, no strength of Satan could damage us.
If we see that the time of death is approaching, it is necessary to read, of course, 118 Psalm "Bligniya of Disability", this is 17 caffesma and ask to read the priest if it is, or near Canon on the outcome of the soul from the body. It is better to read the priest, since there are special priestly prayers that help very much. If severe agony begins, a separate prayer is read; When a person is being led by a long time, again, you need to call the priest, even if he cannot come, he can read at home. The Lord will hear this prayer.
So I once was called to one woman when she was dying. And I confessed it somewhere over a month and a half before that, when I served in Yasenevo. I came to her at nine in the evening, and you know that before death, a person commits regardless of whether or not. It does not matter at all. Before death commits - in any case. This is telling the rule of the first universal cathedral. He ate, did not eat - it is absolutely no important. If a person keeps the Orthodox faith, it needs to be involved. I come and see such a terrible sight: it lies on the bed, the eyes are sculpted from orbits in a literal sense, the age is not visible at all. And she knocks his hands from someone to the right - left and shouts: "I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid." I say: "Hope, do you want to take communion?" "I want," says, and it disappeared immediately. It was the last thing she said at all. I came up with her body and the blood of the Lord, and she immediately calmed down, smiled and died. That's just the attack of Najaki, which was, and the mercy of God. This must be prayed.

"When a person is unconscious, you need to pray for him, to read the canon to the outcome of the soul from the body, but the sacraments over the unconscious person are not accomplished by any, except for the sacrament of Saint Baptism, if a person expressed a desire to do so. Neither the sacrament, nor the binding over people unconscious. Remember, the stroke does not mean loss of consciousness, there may be a loss of speech, but if there is consciousness, then you can make a person to make a person, if he agrees with eyes, anything, but again, if he tried to live NO-God, like me I say. He gets the honor of God, which may come. If a person lived without brakes, then the Lord is the last thing she said at all. I came up with her body and the blood of the Lord, and she immediately calmed down, smiled and died. That's just the attack of Najaki, which was, and the mercy of God. This must be prayed.
- And if a person is unconscious?
"When a person is unconscious, you need to pray for him, to read the canon to the outcome of the soul from the body, but the sacraments over the unconscious person are not accomplished by any, except for the sacrament of Holy Creentening, if a person expressed a desire to do so. Neither the sacrament nor the disposal of people unconscious are made. Remember, the stroke does not mean loss of consciousness, there may be a loss of speech, but if there is consciousness, then you can make a person to make a person, if he agrees with eyes, anything, but again, if he tried to live NO-God, like me I say. He gets the honor of God, which may come. If a person lived without brakes, then the Lord of the Level. As Scripture says, "death of a sinner of Luta" (Ps. 33, 22). And the Lord, remember, spoke about the insane rich: "Mad! In this night, your soul will take you. " Literally - pull out with torture. "Who will get what you did?" (Luke 12, 20). Indeed, some spirit actually comes to people in the form in which it is depicted: in the form of death with oblique, with other guns. This is a certain spirit - the Angel of Death, who ruins people, deprives them of life. Why do you need these mandes? To cut off attachment to the ground. If a person is not tied to Earth, if he believes in Christ the Savior, he will not see death in the literal sense of the word. When the Lord said that "the listening word mine and the believer in the ever-missing woman who has eternal life, and does not come to the court, but he switched to death" (in. 5, 24), he said the direct veins, not indirectly, not allegorical. Do you understand? Therefore, those people who righteously die, death do not see. They see the angels of God, and then the Savior himself. Here you know, the famous story, when a person came to Alexandria, and there was a single sample, which people considered the devotee. And the demons came to him and pulled his soul from the body with the flour, and the voice of God sculpted that this man did not let him be restored in himself for a minute. Although he was considered an external righteous. And at that time, the bum was died nearby. He was lying in the ditch, and God sent Archangel Mikhail to take his soul. Archangel Mikhail comes, and the homeless says: "I don't want." Then Archangel goes to God and says: "Lord, he does not want." The Lord replies: "Good," and calling David: "Go Sleep, and let him come out." And David begins to sing so an angel song that the soul from delight comes out of the body and is ascended to heaven. Actually, we pray for this and ask. This was told by the Lord. Remember? He said, "I am a door: who will come in me, he will be saved, and will enter, and will come out, and find" (in. 10, 9). Will go where? In church. And Christ will come out of this world, and will find an eternal pasture in Paradise, in the very place called the place of Zilan. In what sense. cigarette? The word "cereal" means a lot of greenery, cereals. Therefore, a person who was correctly prepared, he really does not see death, and death is easy for him. Therefore, it is even the death is not called. What is it called in Scripture? Resolution. Apostle Paul said: "I have a desire to resolve and be with Christ, because it is incomparably better; And stay in the flesh more needed for you "(FLP. 1, 23-24). Normal, in fact, our dream is so dead. That is, to die, so that the person leaves this world through Christ, in the presence of Christ, so that God's love overwhelms him at the time of death, so that the prayer led him to be dying with God.

Moreover, there may be different states before death. Here is the preventive Sysh Great, when the angels came for him, asked them to give him time to repent, although he was already told that he was perfect. He believed that she did not begin to repent. And then suddenly shone and said: "Here is Christ, bring the desert chosen vessel to me." With these words, he left the body and was ascended by the hands of Christ to heaven. Others, on the contrary, rejoiced. One devotee, Apolloni, having fun and shook before his death. Others ask him: "What are you having fun?" And he answers: "I was a meek, like Moses, zealous, like Aaron, courageous as Joshin Jawin, pious, like David, wise like Solomon. If the Lord God gave me this, really he will not give me the heavenly kingdom? " Very interesting, right? We can say that he immodedly said. That's how it is humility. The Lord gave it, the Lord did everything, so he really would not give the heavenly kingdom? Remember that our hope (and it is especially important not to forget at the time of death) is not on our good deeds, but on the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Poor try to keep hands crucible, press the cross to yourself. Before our eyes, ask for the crucifixion of Christ the Savior, so that the memory of him accompanied you when leaving this world, so that we come out of this world in life. And the person who was properly prepared may count on it. I know examples when people were so calm. Body pain at the same time is absolutely not important. Rev. Saints Grigory Palama died of intestinal cancer. Creepy pain. But at the same time, despite these pain, what did he say? Near the sitting man - the future Patriarch of Filofey - heard these words: "Border, in the world to the light." He smiled, and with a smile left the body. At the same time, the whole room was filled with fragrance and light, although pains were bodily, but it is like torture for martyrs. The body of the martyr is tortured, and he is still all the same. Do you understand? The soul is covered by unearthly joy, which is not at all connected with the body. This is a condition that is available for us today: when a Christian is already so covered by the celestial, that he is not important.
If a person is not prepared, how does he die? Usually gradually begins to rescue life, as if to disappear. Death begins with the tips of the fingers and hands, here with these places. And it comes first from the fingers, then sharply goes through the joints. Actually, the blissful Feodora, as you know, I saw how cut off, took death to the joint. And often a simple person sees it. Then life is focused on two points: in the heart and forehead. And then, if a person sees death, he seems to feel that he drinks a drink, or that death cuts the last string, or just a sharp blow, painless. There are different sensations. For a moment, he loses consciousness, as if fails, then many very many see the tunnel. What is it? This is the return of consciousness. Sometimes it happens without a tunnel, and the person is immediately located on the part. It happens when a person immediately does not realize that he died. It happens quite often, especially when he was not prepared for death. Moreover, it is very important to know that after death, people remain with their convictions. Nowhere in Scripture is not said so that people change after death, on the contrary, it is said that in the hell of God do not profess: "There are no memo for you in death: in the coffin who will praise you?" (Ps. 6, 6), because the man east is in the power of his superstitions. Moreover, as I said, after the death of the passion, with which they did not fight, go out.
Here is a person in the new world. He first becomes very easy if he sick before, and even if he did not hurt, he still gets very easy for him. Why? Because, as Grigory theologians spoke, our soul began after the sin, the body of a nose, that is, the body wearing the corpse prevents the soul. Well, it was probably noticed. You want to think - the head fell ill, the stomach crumble, the heart climbed, she wanted to sleep. Yes? How many such cases are. Any activity of the soul is connected with the body. Here the soul feels that it is like in a more natural state. While she does not know that one of the most important tasks is an animation of the body - it can no longer perform. Then it usually happens a few minutes when the person cannot establish contact with others, until it is convinced that he died. But, if a person was preparing, it is natural for him. He is already waiting for this moment. That's what you need to do? At this point, you do not need to try to twitch in different directions, and you need to die with a prayer on the lips. What a prayer? "In your hands, Lord, I am pretending my spirit," as the Lord said on the cross. We, as it were, talk before bedtime, and need to come out of this body, to glorify the Holy Trinity, so that this glorification continued to continue.
Remember how Blessed Macrina died? I love to talk about it. She was seriously sick before his death and here it already weakened that they thought she was dying. The evening came, lamps, lit lights in the room. She, like any normal Christian ... And what do you do in the evening when lanterns do? She began to sing "Sveta quiet." And she fell, quietly, - the evening anthem she was singing as follows: "The light of the silence of the glory of the immortal father of the heaven of the Saints of Blessed Industo Jesus Christ! Extraked to the west of the Sun, seeing the light of the evening, singing the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, God. Assistant to all times of the Pet of Geneful Glasss Rev. ". And with these words, she came out of the body and then continued further: "Given's Son, the stomach, the world famute. This is a beautiful death. So? Truly noble death. Therefore, it's good before death to start singing the chants to God, the song thanksgiving for the fact that God dismisses us out of the body to bring us back there again.
Remember before dying that we will meet with the body again on the day of the resurrection. It is with this body that will be cleared by God. And the person who is moving away with gratitude to God usually will immediately be digest to him. As stated in the book of Ecclesiast, the spirit of man goes to God, which gave him (Ecc. 12, 7).
The man who lived ordinary life, we know in common legend, walks on the ground for three days. He can go to the places that he was closest. So I recommend to go to the coffin of the Lord. According to Orthodox teaching, there are no no deceased distances for the souls. There were many times when, at the time of death, the soul had a lot of habits to the ground, where would he strive for? To the ground and will strive. Clear?
- But at this moment you need to pray?
- But if they taught, then a prayer will come, and if they did not adapt, it will not come. Do you understand?
The enemy immediately takes - and that's it.
- Batyushka, but this monk about which
God said: "I did not give me a day to rest in myself," is it like?
- Very simple. He did not even be restored at all. His feats were all for the sake of vanity and pride. He was adjacent, and did not give the soul of rest. God did not allow to be stubborn.
So, my advice: it is necessary to go out with a prayer. If you want to stay a little on Earth, if you still pull to her, then go to the temple. Remember that a great opportunity appears for you: you can get into any temple of the planet Earth, get into any holy place. Therefore, of course,
A normal Christian is still, if he wants, can fall or towards Calvary, or to the coffin of the Lord to worship before leaving this land. But three days is a fairly suspended period. Already at the same time, the enemies are often attacked, and on the same day the first attacks of the enemy begin, and the enemy acts in different ways: he can intimidate, and maybe they can define. When was the last time a person comes to earth? When it is buried. Therefore, all sorts of abnormal fans - the thing is extremely abnormal. Do you understand? A person needs that the body, consecrated by the holy mysters, was in the temple of God so that he could last pray. And it is better to bring the body to the liturgy, so that the soul of the deceased could stand on the last liturgy, listen to how to say goodbye to him, because he hears everything. After all, forgiveness is necessary because the person really hears. Do you understand? We kiss the body, and next to the standing soul hears and must forgive. Remember that if you die without anything, the road directly to hell, without reservations. Therefore, when you live to forget. Unfortunate and after death will not forgive and where it goes, it is also clear.
- And at the dead man, too, should ask?
- Must sincerely. This is the last moment when you can make it up with him,
Therefore, those who try to mark the body disgusting, so as not to fiese and so on. Be sure to ask for full-time funeral. Absentee funeral is acceptable only for those who have no place on the burial: a man drowned into the sea, died during the war, unknown where. For the rest, it is simply an abnormal phenomenon.
It is very important. Take care of life to where you will have no good, did not reduce the service. Do not hesitate to approach the priest. Remember that the honors rendered to the deceased are virtues for a Christian, for which the reward is received in heaven. And about the Great Award, which is given for the burial of people, especially to which no one is buried, says in the book of David. This is indeed a great reward that the Lord will give when the body will be resurrected on the last day.
What to do near after death? Immediately begin to serve as much forty stores as possible, so that, how much can be in different places, people prayed. To give a note very well on the Holy Mountain of Athos on the Athos Compound. From the first day it is necessary to serve. It is possible; - Yves the Holy City of Jerusalem on the Jerusalem Compound. Very simple: come to the Jerusalem compound and you can apply to remember the Lord in the coffin. Muscovites are very convenient. There are Jerusalem Compound, the temple of the resurrection of the word (Apostle Philip) on Arbat. Relatives need to be asked for for forty days to read the psalter in a row, at least a cafe. If you have close friends, ask them to pray for you, have installed daily prayers. There are cases when specially hire people who read the psalter around the clock. It also has great benefits, because the psalter protects against the demons attacks. This prayer is surrounding a person. Why do you need to funeral? In order for the person on the third day, when he rises to heaven, was protected, shut off the prayers of the Church, so that the Liturgy was served on this day, if he resolves the charter (for example, before the post is not permitted). The keeper, of course, meets a person after death. Christian meet two angels: Guardian Angel and Explorer Angel. They lead a person on the groundwater. Also they meet at least two evil
Spirit: an angel-tempter and an angel conductor. It usually happens on the third day or on the very first day, if a person really wants to get to heaven. Here the saints usually did not delay, did not wait for anything, they immediately went to heaven and that's it. "Where is your treasure, there will be your heart" (Matt. 6, 21). If a person has a big property in heaven, what to wait for him? Maybe he quickly wants to enter the right? So, if he has a beloved groom, what to do to him on earth? When a person rises into the air, he meets with the observation of the princes of darkness, which are usually called Naitaria. Even the Mother of God, when he went to her son, he prayed for his audit, so that he would make it from air solar. And the Holy Martyr Evstors, whose prayer is read in the midnight Saturday, also prayed to God, so that he honored him to pass by the waking of you. And so we should also pray to God to protect us.
Nataria is the last attempt by the temptations of man. Nataria is the last person attempt to seduce and destroy. They are inevitable for people, because to pass through this area will have to. Question: How inevitable? As I said, who was involved, he immediately rises to heaven, and ITARCH, he would be afraid, demons are scattered in different directions.
Read "The Trinity of the Wrought" Father Tikhon Agrikova, - I recommend it to everyone, the most magnificent book about modern devotees. Father Tikhon Agrikov, Schirchimandrite Panteleimon, was for some time the Lavra's confessor, then a Caucasian old man, then during the Chechen war he lived in the Carpathians, then again in the Caucasus, then died, moved to the Lord in Malakhovka. Here is the famous older of our days! I even knew him a little personally. He was really a devotee of God, remember him in the notes: "Schiarchimandrit Pantelemon".
His book is now on sale. And his nephew is now a vicar of the Patriarch in Moscow, Alexander, Bishop Dmitrovsky, who serves in Cherkizov.
There was one famous deacon in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, he died in 1960. O. Tychon told that this Irodyakon served the liturgy and met, consumed the holy gifts and went to the celia to relax. Fell asleep and did not wake up. And then, right in his cell, O. Tychon prayed to God, in order to operate his postal fate. He came on the fortieth day happy, glowing from joy. And then O. Tychon asks: "How did you go?" He says: "You know, I flew past the saint fever by virtue of the saint", and the demons ran into different directions, because he met the body and the blood of the Lord. Do you understand? This is the best sewn.
People must come across these traps, everything except those who confessed. Twenty solarms are described in Naitaria, in other sources, there are several other other sources. The essence of solarms is: all sins are checked. How? Evil spirits, at this moment remember, pull out all their records that they had, and are trying on the basis of those sins that a man did, to keep the soul, pick it up right. But remember that not a single sin they cannot find there. They may remember him, but they have no material evidence, so it is necessary to confess as often as possible.
I recommend confessing two or three times a week. No need to prepare for this. Just did, God forbid, some, came, repented. That's all, it is very easy to live in this case. So I'm tormented now, while there is no second priest; Rarely concerned, and it really is unpleasant. That's when I served in other places, it was good there, but now you have to go somewhere, and this is no time. From seven years, sins are confess. Pray on the binding, so that the Lord Mind restore, so after the cubs there is a phenomenon that they often remember the forgotten fahs. By the way, in the prayer of the core, nothing is said about the petition of the forgotten swells, so it is not worth the seduction.
- Then why is it necessary?
- For body healing.
- What is the coolant different from confession and communion?
- Sins are forgiven to confession, the Eucharist is connected, with Christ. And specifically for the healing of the body or for the healing of mental illness, for example, depressions associated with violation of corporal activity, is given to compass. Therefore, the cubs are needed.
But open the Sacred Scripture, the message of the Apostle James, where nothing is said about the petition of forgotten sins. In what sense of sins are released? The consequences of sins are diseases. The consequence, the punishment for sin is removed by the cub, but the sin itself is removed only with repentance. In the sacred Scripture and the fathers of the Church, no word is said about the petition of sins in the cute. I remember, even in the seminary took a specially, did not be lazy, I looked at all the fathers of the church, who wrote about the binding, nor one thing, anywhere not a word about the forgiveness of forgotten sins. The consequences of sins are purified, but nothing is said about the very passage of forgotten sins. And the fact that sins are remembered, it is known. Surely remember that after the cubs suddenly for a long time forgotten once - and remembered. This is just only the action of cobble. There was a restoration of the mind so that the person could reassure in sin could regret it, and the Lord clears it. If you remember the lives of the blissful feodora, you know that she, being in the afterlife, saw some kind of gold that she had, some prayers. She helped her prayers of her spiritual father, Rev. Vasily new. Therefore, it must be remembered here that prayer helps a lot of righteousness, and ordinary people. Why do we actually ask about prayer? Prayer helps to be cleaned by a person. The essence of prayer, in fact, is that the habit of sin is cleared, but it is better, of course, try not to sin, but, sinned, immediately clean your heart. Teach yourself as much as possible to confess. If you have made some sin, immediately control the god of petitions and do not justify the sin. Remember that the Lord can forgive sins and without confession if it is not possible to get it. We know such examples when the Lord himself cleared a person. He did not deprive himself the right to forgive sins? So? Here is an example, I can lead when a man wandered and all the time after that walked to the temple to repent. And once he sinned, went to the temple to repent and died on the way. The devil demanded to pick it up himself, and the Lord said: "The time of death in my power, and the repentance - in his. He walked to me, so I accept it. " I'm not talking about what you need to justify the prodigal life, but to the fact that you need to teach yourself to repent of sins. Stumbled - immediately asking for details. For this, the church has established a confession of sins in the evening. Let it be not a simple listing, as some say, "Mousetry", that is, caught in mice. Although Mšillamism is the accumulation of unnecessary things, and there must be a confession of those sins, the real you did on that day.
A man rises to heaven at different speeds. There are no general rules. For example, Macarius the Great rose to the sky for a few minutes. Moreover, at that moment the demons shouted: "Macarius, you won us," wishing to cause vanity in it. Macarius said: "Not yet." Rises above. Demons scream again: "You won us, look at what you are strong," and he says: "No yet." And then, when he stood at the gate of Paradise, he said: "Yes, I defeated you by the power of Jesus Christ."
What should you do in the event that you die, but with you there is no priest? You must record your sins on paper and ask for anyone to convey these sins to the priest. He will definitely read the permitting prayer and forgive sins, because he remains the power of keys. Just as priests retain their power, and after death, remaining priests. Do you know? Therefore, it is very important to know what to do in this case, if there is no one next. But at the same time, I myself ask God to forgive these sins.
So, climbing to heaven, pray to God continuously. Try to disagree with demons, let the guardian angel speaks for you, and you ask for forgiveness. See some sin, ask for detits. Remember that not all sins they will call will be yours. Do not forget that demons are liars. They will try to hit someone else's. At this point, the memory is restored, and you need to ask God to update her, and say: "Lord, forgive me, I hoped for you, I hope for your shelter, Lord, I hope for you, I hope for me." Because hope on the mercy of God helps. It is also well remembered some kind of virgin, which is called an unbreakable wall. Do you know her name? Virgin Mary Virgin Mary. Remember that it is really an indestructible wall that protects people.
There is a magnificent book, called "incredible for many, but a true incident." Maybe some read. Some Ikskul K., was such a person, died and thirty-six hours was on the world. He actually defended the Mother of God and returned back. Therefore, here, on earth, do not forget to contact God and the Most Mother of God, the keeper angel, and live with the guardian angel nearby. Remember: you have to have a good relationship now with him are set. I hope that they are already. Do not forget to thank, congratulate on the day of his holiday. When is the day of the holiday of the Guardian angel? Twenty-first November. And all the celestial strength. Thank you, Guardian Angel, thank you very much that you helped me.
- But can only be a prayer for Lord Jesus Christ?
- Why, you can also angel keeper.
Prayers can be both saints, for example, is written like this: "Prayer Ksenia Petersburg", and that's it. And only thanks to God only God are written, and so if you want to thank you since, just write prayer to the saint.
And then what to do? Here you climb through the air. What happens to the man who did not pass it? He is taken under the white handles and sent to hell, which I described, in this country of eternal shadows. There, a person is not tormented, in the sense that he does not get a fiery retribution, he is waiting for punishment. And he has flour, but the flour is not a future punishment, but the flour of unsatisfied desires. Remember, rich with Lazar, what he suffered? What a member did he suffer most? Tongue. And why? He got used to get his pleasure from the language, and therefore he had a language and suffered. Do you understand? That's why people are tormented? Unsatisfied desires. Passion devour these people. This is exactly the essence of hellish torments: people are devoured by passions. Perform that hell is the presenter of punishment, and not the punishment itself. Here is the fire that people see in hell is the default of the future flame that will be on the day of the Fiery of the end of the world, because in hell there is still no time, as in paradise there is no complete award.
If a person has passed Nataria, he led to the gates of Paradise. It meets the apostle Peter, of course, whose keys are located (Matt. 16, 19), who promised in his message, which will continue, after his death, to take care, so that we do not forget his teachings: "I will try so that you are after my respective. Always resulted in memory "(2 Pet. 1, 15). So he fulfills his promise. Therefore, asks how you know his teachings.
So what are the people who come to paradise are checked? They look like Christ or not. As Simeon theologians say, if a person looks like Christ with his soul, he falls into paradise. Paradise is the most beautiful garden, the place of greenery, eternal spring. This is a physical genuine garden, but in which each blade is filled with meaning. We can say that paradise is real than the Earth. It is more dense than the Earth. If hell is less dense space than land, less real, then heaven is more real. Paradise is the place of expectation and growth of the soul.
Now I will say about the latter. It often happens when people climb themselves, their Satan is trying to deceive. How? He is in the form of an angel of light, trying to pretend to be a good angel. Therefore, when you see the guardian angel, first of all, tell me: "And well, the glorious Jesus Christ and twist." Be sure to ask for an angel to do not get any horned creature. "Every spirit that does not profess Jesus Christ, who came in the flesh, is not from God" (1 in. 4, 3).
Now, once, the father of Paisia \u200b\u200bSvyatogortsu was Eutemy all, and he says: "A, well, to cross, bow the earthly." She crossed and had a bow with him. He says: "Well, I'm glad you came." See, here is the right approach. Here you died, saw the Holy Angel, and immediately you need to say directly: "Who are you? Jesus Christ glorify? " The question is to have done with the interrogation. And then you will not get into those paws. This is an extremely dangerous thing, they do not play with such things.
- How long does the longest raising last?

Unknown. Mark Frachaski was detained for an hour because of the vanity, but often if there
They are delayed, it's not for long, usually then drowning down on solarms.
If a person is delayed in Naj., it is necessary to pray to God, and it is important that you have people who have a blobe in the sky. But how to do it? There is a mercenary way. This is directly talking directly by the remarkable parable of Christ the Savior, remember, the most scandalous parable in the Holy Gospel, which everyone is seduced - about the wrong home. But there is also right there: "Care your friends with the richness unrighteous so that they, when impoverish, took you to the eternal abode." (Lux 16, 9). That is, bring up people so that they pray for you when you can't do anything. Before death, how to spend time? Well, the money distributed to all people: "Everything that I prayed for me! Understood? I will come to you later, if you can't pray. I will come to you every night, so as not to be no longer praying. "
Again, you need to do other undeservedly good deeds. You have done some kind of nasty, and you have been uncomplished good deed. So you buy yourself eternal shelter, literally. This is exactly what the parable says: so that we say that there are no vigorous-minded. It is not true, it can come in handy, only in the right place, so that it is in eternity in eternity, and in nucleancy it, by the way, helps a lot.
Now, what happens after a person rises in Nataria. He proceeds through them. I hope you go well. If not safely, remember: a person who has fallen into hell can be poured under the condition that he kept the intact faith in the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. If he did not believe in the Holy Trinity, it is impossible to pour it.
- How do we find out?
- There are cases when the Lord burns visions, or a person feels something wrong with prayer, since during the prayer our souls communicate through Christ. Therefore, by the way, I believe that it is very good to communion on the day of the parent Saturday, when the deceased is especially coming.
Only, the only, of course, you need to confess in advance, not on the day itself, because it is impossible to confess on the day itself. When you got into paradise, you need to remember how you are described. Holy blowing, saw Naitaria in this form: It is worth the gold staircase from the ground to the sky, but she is terrible, on the sides of this staircase - knives, and there are no lower steps. Instead of the bottom step there is a dragon. And she saw her sockamer Satir first approached this staircase and put a mysterious sign on the dragon. What? Cross, of course. The dragon calmed down immediately and silent. Satir stood on him and went further along the stairs, but he looked only up. Why do not knives? The one who looks over the sides is cut, so during. It is necessary to watch only up. Then she went behind him, made a secret sign on the dragon, went up and then entered paradise. There, she met a great shepherd, around which fiery spirits flew and sang him an amazing anthem - Jesus Christ. He kissed her and said: "I welcome you. You, my daughter, finally came home. " So a person comes to paradise, and usually before nine days he inspects paradise to the extent that he can. If you have not enough high thinking, you will not see the whole paradise. Try before death it is better to prepare to rise above, because there are different places in paradise. Then, from the ninth to a fortie day, usually show the places of torment of hell to know what a person awaits there. And, the right, on a fortieth day, a person appears in the face of God, worships him and receives an indication where he is until the moment of the court. In hell, if people did not fight passions, they continued to progress, and people decomposed more. But, if they had the will aimed at all, somehow neutrally, leaning toward God, God can pull them out from there. People also continue to develop. Now some think: "What are we going to do there?" The soul continues to grow in the place in which it is located. In paradise, these people first are alone. Remember, in the apocalypse we read with you last Thursday: "I saw under the satellite souls killed for the Word of God and for the testament they had. And they crushed with a loud voice, saying: the doconst, the lord is holy and true, do not judge and docent people who live on earth for the blood of our? And they were given to each of them clothes whites, and it was said that they calmed down at little time, while their employees and their brothers who will be killed, like them, complement the number "(Rev. 6, 9-11). Therefore, people are growing in heaven, they care about the ground, they know what is happening on earth, and their life becomes stronger than our life. It is interesting that it turns out: the soul of the saint is more real than the body, is more saturated with reality. Do you understand? Paradise is a bone dense reality than the Earth, and the inhabitants of it are more saturated with reality, although they are also inactively. But, being without a body, they, nevertheless, can not get even complete pleasure. They receive the award only to the extent that they can get it, without bodies. People rest, learn to the secrets of God. There are some games there. You may not know about it? But in the life of Merpets, it is true that there are some spiritual games, spiritual joy. People gradually teach to the light of God. A man who fell from the paradise fruit gradually begins to get used to the Light of the Divine. Paradise is, in a sense, school. Why is this part of the Earth? Because the Earth is created as a great school, and Paradise, let's say, - Institute. If the Earth is a school, then in paradise you get, only passing the exams. What is Nataria? These are entering the institute when a person learns to live in the presence of the Creator. There are many different places in paradise. Here is an interesting description: Andrew for the sake of Christ, the warrior was admired to heaven and saw that in the center of Paradise is a huge glowing cross, which angels are worshiped. And the man rising above, sees this cross, and finally comes to a certain curtain, behind which the kingdom of God is itself, which is above all the heavens is. One day, one person, the student of St. John Zlatoust, was admired to heaven and did not find there Zlatoust. He was terribly upset. The angel asked him: "What you need to be sad, no one left here in sorrow." This man answered him to this: "I dreamed of seeing John, but there is no it here." Angel said to that: "A, you are looking for John, the preacher of the Word of God. You can't see him, he is where God is. There are people who prepared so much on earth that they rise above paradise. For example, the Apostle Paul. He is already with Christ, as he himself predicted in his message to the Philippians. For example, Ilya-prophet with Eneokh is in Paradge. Holy Apostle Paul and some other saints rise above and above in heaven. We have one holy, which has already received the completeness of bliss. The only holy, who received the completeness of the Award to a terrible court, - the Most Holy Virgin. Why? Because she resurrected in the flesh. Why is the Assumption for us - such a great holiday? Because this is the day of the glorification of the second of the people who has already reached the complete, absolute glorification, which will be on the judy day for all of us. But she does not often happen to paradise. People say it can not catch it there. She is very often on earth. There is a very ancient legend that she comes to Earth while singing his song "Majses the soul of my Lord." Therefore, every day in the temple is committed by singing, which means invisible
The phenomenon of Our Lady. And she passes and looks like people sing. Those who sings nothing, she does not give anything. On those who sings, she looks: singing with heart or automatically. And so, depending on this, it gives a job. She is really an ambulance in all. And there is gradually the growth of people. It will continue until the fidge itself. When the number of saved, then heaven will curb like a scroll, and Christ will come to Earth with all the angels and with all the Holys, and hell will empty, because all people will be caused from there, and the day of resurrection will come. We will return to the graves again. They will turn out, and our bodies will be pulled out by God from there. Remember the terrible day of the Prophet Ezekiel, when he saw the bones, sliding among themselves, covered with the skin and muscles. And then they entered them in them (YEA 37, 7-10).
This is how it will be: our graves will embarrass life, and we will leave the grave in the flesh at the age of thirty-three years without glasses, without sticks, without crutches, without genetic deficiencies, and our bodies will exactly reflect our souls.
How is it known, father, what are thirty-three?
- Apostle Paul says: until everything is achieved by the age of Christ (Eph. 4, 13). That's the worst thing. And you say Naitaria. Nataria is not finally.
- Where is the places for everyone enough?
- New sky will be, a new earth, the new universe will be, not old. This land burns, and dies, and will be resurrected again. And then the real life will come, the Great Judgment Day will come, when we all stand before the face of God and give our answer for the affairs. Therefore, they say that we are absolutely correctly remembered about this great answer. By the way, the Word of God emphasizes attention on this great vessel, and not on the solarms. So? Why? Because this is the most important thing. Nutrition is only entrance exams at the Institute. And the vessel laziness is already a decision of the fate absolutely and forever, without the right to appeal. Then there will be a great division: all the sinners after that in the flesh will be thrown into the eternal flame, in the darkness external outside God, and the worm of unreastery will always be devoured, and the torment will never end. As the revelation of John the Theologian says, the smoke of the torment will be ascended forever in the eyelids, and they will not have peace on no day ... "(Rev. 14, 11). The righteous will be included in eternal life, will live in the new universe, in the kingdom with Christ. They will be gods by grace. They will be burned, reached vertices of bliss. - They will not be upset for their relatives? - Related links end from the moment of death, and the marriage all relationships end, and carnal. If relatives come to near, then. Not by kinship, but on mental connection, and if it was not, then they do not come. Do you understand? "There will be two on one bed: one will take, and the other inserted" (Lux. 17, 34), Lord, remember, said: everyone meets only for itself (comparing Jesek. 18). And again, if there is a spiritual and spiritual affinity between the married spouses, then it will be, but not as between her husband and wife, but between the two children of God, and if not, then no. People will be resurrected in that body in which we are now. And then there will be a retribution for sins, and then there will be an absolutely complete award, then the great kingdom will come, where there will be no longer death, no decline. As stated, the fun everlasting will overtake them, the disease, sadness and frost will leave.
- And before the coming, in hell what is the condition of a person? This is a despondency and ...
- and to the future torment. Of course, unpleasant contact with demons. There is nothing good in this communication. But all sorts of talk about fibs there, etc. The Holy Church calls bass. Orthodox confession says that we do not believe in these things at all. But in these bass there is some truth. What? What the man sinters, the fact and punishes. In what sense? Remember how rich: his tongue is used to the existence and therefore burned (Lux 16, 24). But only here in this sense, but not in the fact that there will be some triography chambers. And after the trial, you can not worry: the devil will not torment you. The devil, like all sinners, will be connected by hand and legs. They will be in constant eternal loneliness. God forbid us to be there. There will be eternal loneliness, absolute loneliness.
Macarius, when he was told about torment, heard the following: "For us, the great joy that we see the face of another person" (it was so that Macarius prayed for the dead - Ed.), And there will not see anyone in anticipation of the future torment, geren Flour.
There is no wrong with paradise. Righteousness is a very affordable thing. I repeat: holiness, righteousness is available for those who believe in the Holy Trinity and baptized.
On this we will finish. Keep Lord!

Priest Daniel Sysoev

Instructions for immortal or what to do if you still died ...

Introduction

The topic, as you understand, is relevant absolutely for everyone, because, you want - do not want, you still have to die. Since the time of Adam and Eve, unfortunately, death became fate of all people, although the sad, although not normal, albeit unnatural, although not to God's plan about a person, but, nevertheless, it became like a certain one Nature that the Lord defeated his resurrection. But he did not give us an immortal life now, in a twarm body, which would be cruelty, and gave us the resurrection in the immortal body. In this very, but immortal. It is clear why the Lord did not give us an immortal life now: imagine, here you are - grandmothers, would you like to do not die and all the time be sick?

Imagine when people say that they always want to live without thinking about what to live is always good, but it would be very desirable to live without illness. Agree, so?

And, of course, we are with you, speaking of death, you must first understand the device of the universe to understand what happens to us in life.

History of the Fall and the emergence of hell

We must understand that the device of the universe was constantly changing radically. Initially, the Universe was not, but only the Lord God was. The Lord created two worlds - the two universes that are interrelated, the world is invisible and the world visible. We are hearing about this every day at the evening worship when reading 103 Psalm. And the visible and invisible worlds split due to the fall: the first - Dennica and the Angels following him, the second - through the fall of the first people of Adam and Eve. Together with sin in the visible world, diseases, degeneration and death came. The Lord said to Adam: "... Earth Esi, and in the land of deceleration" (Gen. 3, 19). I mean this not only what a person leaves the body to the ground, but also the fact that the human soul goes into the underground abyss of hell.

So continued to the redeeming Resurrection of the Son of God.

The Bible is clear to us well and describes in detail the device of hell. Hell, according to the Word of God, this is a kind of huge underground place (Is. 14, 15), of course, not in the literal sense of the word. Although many, mistaken and understanding the words of the Bible literally, looking for him in the bowels of the earth.

About five or seven years ago, we went to publish that allegedly the drillers found hell underground. However, it is interesting that people who reprinted these publications did not pay attention to the issue number of the newspaper, which laid the origin. The newspaper was released on April 1, and people just got on this joke. Indeed, the underground in some way with hell is connected. This is stated in the lives of some saints and other sources of church legend. But this connection is not geographical, does not mean that hell is geographically below. Hell in some sense at the bottom, but in another dimension. Our world has another dimension, except for three dimensions of space and time. This, I think, each of us understands for the reason that we can predict the events, we can aware of the time as such. If we lived only in three dimensions, we would obviously could not understand this, realize. And indeed, our soul also belongs to the world invisible, which refers to this world as a certain additional dimension.

And so, according to the Word of God, the hell, who appeared as a result of the rebellion of the first people, is the dungeon of the shower, as the Apostle Peter says. As if the CPP (a chair of the preliminary conclusion), but not the place of torment, not a place of punishment, but the place where the souls are like in a memorical sleep, as the Bible says. What is the sense of sleep? Here we should clearly understand what Jehovah's Witnesses are right, who believe that the soul falls asleep. For Jehovah's Witnesses, death is a dream without dreams. Maybe Jehovah's Witnesses are not seen, but here we all know that a dream is not a comatose state. In a dream, our consciousness works, but some special way. That is, we can even realize themselves. But we cannot affect the dream itself. Do you understand what's the matter? I see something, but I can not influence. I feel something, I feel something, and change something impossible. You see, such a comparison with sleep is exactly accurate. Both in the usual dream and in the underground world, the man who went to the underground souls, is waiting for the same fate.

Hell is a place having a certain structure. Depending on the measure of the evil that a person did, it is above or lower in this place. Until the coming of the Lord in Heru was a special branch for righteous. It was separated from all the hell of a certain precipice, but it was, nevertheless, in hell. It was called Lone Abraham. Remember, in the parable of rich and Lazar, some Sheol is clearly described, that is, an invisible place, and, in fact, hell, means underground place (hades - Greek, underground kingdom). Sheol is an invisible place, because there is darkness.

In this Sheol, there was a special place allocated for the righteous people who hoped for Christ, at the coming of God, the intervention of God in history, who met with Christ with God during his lifetime. And this meeting experience did their life saturated, hope made their lives more dense, if you like, than the life of the remaining inhabitants of hell.

But now there are no there, because when the Lord is our Jesus Christ went to hell, what did he do? He freed all the righteous. He also freed those sinners who repented of their sin in his sin, served in one God and tried to come to him. The Lord took them too, because they believed in him and came to him.

After the Lord destroyed the Gate of Hell, there was an opportunity to come out of it, and then those people who wanted this opportunity. And they wanted those who were looking for God during life, because, if a person was not looking for a god in his life, he no longer need to want to leave hell, because after death there is no repentance.

The ability to exit hell is preserved for those people who accepted the Holy Baptism. This is built, for example, an amazing and mysterious chin, who is committed every Pentecost, when we are during the second prayer facing Christ the Savior, ask about those souls who are in hell, hoping that they will be provided with mercy and help, relief in their condition.

Heought was defeated, and Satan was deprived of power. Now he is in hell. Previously, it was not there. You should know that Satan used to go to hell on prisoners, but in no case lived there. Satan's power was elsewhere. It was in the air, so it is called the prince of the air region. It is very important to know this. Why? Because the idea that demons in hell live is extremely dangerous to us by virtue of practical considerations.

According to the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, the hell is arranged in such a way that usually the souls of people were next to the souls of their ancestors to the forefather of a certain people. So, all the ancestors of the first nations lay as it were in coffins, reasonable souls with consciousness, but not can change anything. They lay in coffins, and their descendants were lying around them. Hence, by the way, the concept of the cult of ancestors arises. From here it also arises such a thing that in that light it is very important where you were buried, and with whom they were buried. It is from here that an attitude towards cemeteries, which is from the Russian people, not only among Russian, but also from other peoples of our planet, the attitude as some special places that are somehow related to gravity fate. They were really connected, but before.

But now a person is absolutely indifferent to his soul, where his body will be. Even if the human body is burned, if the man himself did not want it, there will be no sin for him, and damage his body, there will be no soul. When the holy martyrs were burned, did they make them somehow flawed? Not. Do you understand? It is very important to remember this, because sometimes people understand this is not properly.
