Exposition of the Paschal for the eighth thousand years, by the command of the sovereign Grand Duke John Vasilyevich of All Rus', His Eminence Zosima, Metropolitan of All Rus', in anticipation of the worldwide coming of Christ
The All-Holy and Life-Giving Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the all-merciful and all-good and man-loving God with mercy and haste, the region reached seven thousand years, and the Paschal of the seventh thousand 3031 passed away last summer, under the rule of the blessed and Christ-loving Grand Duke Ivan Vasilyevich, sovereign and autocrat of all Rus', in the thirty-first year of his kingdom, in the third year of the flock of the Most Reverend Zosima, Metropolitan of All Rus'.
And just as it was in the first years, so it is in the last, as our Lord said in the Gospel: “And the last will be first and the last will be first”; and as it happened in the first year after the ascension of the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ into heaven, the Apostles gathered together and testified, confirming the faith in Christ God; and after the descent of the Holy Spirit on all the Apostles who were then here, confirming the faith, even in Christ God, and sealing with the Holy Spirit, the traditions of God's churches 3032 and all Orthodox believers in Christ God, and scattered throughout the entire universe, into all languages, preaching the faith, even in Christ God, teaching and delivering 3033 the divine scriptures for Orthodox approval faith, even in Christ God 3034, and baptizing all languages in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit: and the divine faith of Christ was glorified throughout the entire universe.
And it happened, after the passage of 3035 years, God glorified the Orthodox first 3036 Tsar Constantine and showed him from above in heaven the sign of the honorable cross, victory and victory over his enemies, just as it happened; he also accepted the scepter 3037, an invincible weapon - the Orthodox faith of Christ, and having fled all enemies, and subdued all adversaries under his nose, and established the Orthodox faith of Christ, according to the apostolic traditions, and drove away those who are heretical to the Orthodox faith, like waves, and was named equal to the Apostle. And by the will of God, create a city in your name and call it the city of Constantine, which is Constantinople, and call it New Rome 3038: and the Orthodox faith of Christ spread throughout the whole earth.
In these same years, 3039 the Lord God chose from the idolaters a pure vessel, the faithful and Christ-loving Grand Duke Vladimir of Kyiv and all Rus', who had tested the faiths, and received from Constantinograd, like an invincible shield in his heart, the Orthodox faith of Christ and was baptized with holy baptism in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, crush idols, and bring the unfaithful to the faith, and enlighten the entire Russian land with holy baptism, and receive invincible weapons from God, overcome enemies, and subdue all adversaries under your nose, and establish the Orthodox faith, even in Christ God, and the second Constantine was named.
And now, in the last of these years, as in the first, God glorified his relative, who shone in Orthodoxy, the blessed and Christ-loving Grand Duke Ivan Vasilevich, the sovereign and autocrat of all Rus', the new Tsar Constantine to the new city of Constantine - Moscow, and the entire Russian land and many other lands of the sovereign, as well as 3040 Lord saying: “I will glorify those who glorify me,” and his name and glory will be glorified throughout the entire universe, and the Lord God will give him a scepter, an invincible weapon against all enemies, and subdue the infidels under his nose, and the Lord God will give him all adversaries in his hand: and confirm the Orthodox faith, even in Christ God, and drive away those who are heretical to the Orthodox faith of Christ, like wolves.
On his advice 3041 and by order of the Sovereign of All Rus', the faithful and Christ-loving Great 3042 Prince Ivan Vasilyevich, the Most Reverend Zosima, Metropolitan of All Rus' 3043, placing your trust in the Lord God and in His Most Pure Mother of God 3044 and her venerable Dormition, which is the cathedral church the God-saved city of Moscow, and the prayers of the Holy Fathers of the seventh council, like the second in Nicaea, who came together to consume the godless iconoclasts, and like our holy fathers, the new wonderworkers, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of All Rus', Peter and Alexy, and the Venerable Father Sergius, but the tradition of the holy Fathers like the seventh council in Nicaea, which was handed over to us, and having sealed 3045 with the Holy Spirit, the humble Zosima, Metropolitan of All Rus', laboriously endeavored to write Paschal for the eighth thousand years, in anticipation of the universal coming of Christ. 3046 But no one knows 3047 about the day and hour, just as the divine Evangelist says: “neither the angels who are in heaven, but the Father.”
And having consulted with the archbishops, and bishops, and archimandrites and the entire consecrated cathedral of the Russian metropolis, he will give it over to God’s churches for confirmation of the faith and to all Orthodox Christians leading the path of salvation. It is not ours to search for years and times, but it is fitting for us 3048 to pray to the Lord God Almighty for the order of the whole world and for the welfare of God’s holy churches, and for the help and strengthening of the faithful and Christ-loving Grand Duke Ivan Vasilyevich, autocrat of all Rus', and for his health and salvation, and so that the Lord God gives him victory and victory against enemies and the Lord would subdue all enemies and adversaries under his nose. And if where other syllables 3049 are found, besides the fatherly traditions and not with the blessing of our humility and the entire consecrated council, they disagree and are depraved, they will be turned away and not accepted, and such a one will wisely be separated from the holy catholic and apostolic church. 3050 And henceforth we begin the Passover for the eighth thousand years. 3051
