Well, there's certainly enough wrong about the "Prophecy of St. Nilus the Myrrhstreamer" for us to consider that one spurious, to say the least.

http://orthodoxwiki.org/Prophecy_of_St._Nilus

http://southern-orthodoxy.blogspot.com/2005/01/spooky-doxy.html

What that says about the other "prophecies" on this site, I'm not sure, but I wouldn't think very highly of any Web site that posts this "Prophecy" of a Pseudo-Nilus as though it were legit.

Forgive the bump, but I didn't exactly want to make a new thread. If it's wrong to post this here, I apologize.

Anyways, ozgeorge posted this on Facebook. I'm familiar with the prophecies of St. Kosmas Aitolos, but I've never heard this one before. I haven't seen it in any of the Lives that have been written about him, and my searching of Greek sources doesn't bring anything up either (although since I know very little about Greek, my search was basically guess work). The source George gave me was some Greek documentary, but other than that, I've found no mentions of it.



It seems a little close to the statement from the Scriptures that we will know "neither the day nor the hour" to me.

I personally take the "Wait and see" approach to prophecies. If they come true, they come true. If they don't, they don't. No need to obsess over them.

Anyone?

These are the ones I'm familiar with. I don't see any reference to that particular prophecy here (or in any other source I've seen except for that picture & the documentary that it came from).
