The sixth promise, almost identical to the further tenth (which we will not talk about separately), has the character of a conspiracy. These promises are just as meaningless and unworthy of any trust in the eyes of a Christian, like other fabrications of the “Dream,” which must have been invented by some idle ancestor of today’s schismatics, the same stubborn and ignorant fanatic as the modern Old Believers of various interpretations and agreements.
The compiler of the “Dream” did not even know how to express the seventh promise as it should, and therefore, in addition to the nonsense of the promise itself, the words expressing it contain nonsense that is obvious to everyone, namely: how will the wife be forgiven and will be healthy without the cessation of the illness? Something is wonderful, and not even intricate, but reveals the inertia of the mind of the compiler of this false “Dream”, although he, obviously, wanted to somehow wriggle out, but due to his lack of development, he himself became entangled in the convolutions of his words.
In the eighth promise, we unexpectedly learn from the compiler of “The Dream” about the existence of some kind of blackberry death previously unknown to us. This novelty, we think, was unknown to him and was introduced by him, probably, in order to stun the reader, to make him think about the meaning of an incomprehensible word, and even more so to attract attention to the “Dream”, in which, they say, one can find words that are not entirely understandable to mortals. The incomprehensible, from great to small, attracts people more than the understandable, by the very nature of our spiritual nature, which is not satisfied with the visible and finite, but tries to transfer the center of world life to the other side of earthly existence and explain as if understandable, the visible with the invisible and the finite with the infinite. This feature of the human spirit makes itself felt in this deceit of the compiler of “The Dream,” with which he deliberately (as we think) put an incomprehensible, mysterious expression to further attract the reader.
The ninth promise already contains heretical wisdom, which, with a high probability, points to the schismatic as the compiler of the “Dream”. Here, although not explicitly, the importance of confessing to God before the priest and the remission of sins from God received through him in the sacrament of repentance is openly denied. Such an anti-church view of the sacrament of repentance, as well as the other six sacraments of St. Orthodox Church, was developed by schismatics who, in the absence of legally appointed shepherds, after their personal separation from the Church during the time of His Holiness Patriarch Nikon of Moscow, began to reject the priesthood, and, therefore, the church sacraments performed by priests. Even the prayer of permission, read by the priest during the funeral service and placed in the coffin with the deceased, does not have the unconditional power that is here attributed to the false and fictitious “Dream of the Mother of God.”
Such is the blindness of inveterate fanatics who, being themselves blind in the matter of faith, want to lead others, and it turns out that the blind leads the blind, and both are threatened with the fate of again crucifying the Son of God within themselves (Heb. 6:6). Let us remind them that, according to the word of the Lord Himself, whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit (like a heretic and schismatic, the compiler of the meaningless “Dream of the Mother of God,” who denies the holy sacraments and tries to replace the sacrament of repentance by reading a false and absurd legend), will not have forgiveness forever, but he will be subject to eternal condemnation (Mark 3:10); that he will be guilty of the heaviest punishment, he tramples on the Son of God and does not consider the Blood of the Covenant as holy (like the schismatics, who do not have a legally established hierarchy, and therefore the holy sacraments), whom he sanctified, and insults the Spirit of grace (Heb. 10:20).
Now let’s write out the ending of “The Dream,” which truly places the crown of madness on the head of its compiler.
11) Speech of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of this world, to His Mother, the Virgin Mary: To the Lady Most Holy Theotokos, Virgin Mary, this holy prayer of Yours is placed, - the dream of the Most Holy Theotokos, - in the holy city of Jerusalem, in the holy shrine, in the holy, cathedral, in the apostolic church, and under the throne of the Lord, Yours is sealed holy prayer by the 4th Patriarch of Jerusalem. And Peter and Paul, the heavenly assistant, Cosmas and Dimian read, and the seal: the cross is the heavenly height, the cross is the earthly breadth, the cross is church beauty, the cross is the depths of the sea, the cross is praise of the angel and archangel, the cross is the fence of the house, the cross is the king's power, the cross is the affirmation of the faithful, the cross is the Orthodox residence, the cross is for me, the servant of God, help, the cross is for demons, the cross is for enemies victory, the cross is a demon driver. Now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
To enhance the impression on the simple-minded readers of “Dream”, St. the city of Jerusalem, and the Temple of Jerusalem, and the Holy Sepulcher, and the seal of the Patriarch of Jerusalem. But the compiler of “The Dream” does not limit himself to this; it’s not enough for him, this is not enough, and he comes up with an idea to deceive the gullible readers of “The Dream” with the message that his illiterate concoction was supposedly read by the supreme apostles Peter and Paul, and for some reason also by Sts. Cosmas and Damian!.. All this is not even worth refuting; it’s so absurd... and, if you like, even funny, although it’s not appropriate to laugh, if you think about the corrupting influence this stupid and illiterate work has had and still has on so many generations in remote places. It would be quite appropriate to remind here the zealots of an easy and convenient method of salvation that we must arrange our salvation according to the word of God, according to the guidance of St.
the Orthodox Church, which is the pillar and confirmation of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15), and following the example of holy men and women who pleased God and were glorified by Him for their righteous life, crowned with gifts of grace and bringing them eternal bliss in the kingdom of heaven.
There is no other truth than the one contained in St. The Orthodox Church of Christ does not exist anywhere else in the whole world, and it cannot be communicated to us by those wolves in sheep’s clothing, against which the Savior Himself warns us, saying: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15), like thieves and robbers, who, according to the word of Holy Scripture, do not enter the courtyard by the door. sheep's, but they climb elsewhere (John 10:1), there are many such wolves and thieves in the world; We Orthodox Christians should not pay attention and attach ourselves not only in spirit, but even in hearing, to the fables they have invented. These are not our words, but the apostolic instruction. This is what St. says. The Apostle Paul regarding this: If... an angel from heaven brings you more good news than what he preached to you, let him be accursed (Gal. 1:8).
