The return of the Tsar.
The restoration of Constantinople.
Orthodox America.
The question is always “how?”
There is a notion that is common amongst modern Christians that if the world is not to the perfect standard of Christianity (as judged by themselves), then there is no point in partaking in the discourse of politics and to even go as far as being nihilistic about everything surrounding our world in its form today.
Fifty years ago, Father Seraphim Rose wrote to the few Orthodox Christians in the West who were shellshocked at a world so antithetical to the Orthodox Faith. America still in invincible form amidst the rise of material capitalism as a state religion with enlightenment ideas surrounding, and the Soviet Union waging war on Christianity directly. There was little hope for our world to reflect God then.
Yet today, 10,000 churches have been rebuilt in Russia, church attendance is climbing there, and the state is funding the Church to rapidly expand and return to its place as the bedrock of the Russian people.
In America, Orthodox Christianity has 10xd in four years going from 600,000 to 6 million members across all jurisdictions.
Yet there is still this utter pessimism that is the result of a lingering liberalism and nihilism after the conversions still within the minds of many here in the West.
Twenty years ago, the thought of an America increasingly Orthodox with a potential President to be listening to ideas that are increasingly classical this shifting the discourse to values increasingly close to those of our own would never have entered our minds. Yet this pessimism remains.
God has dominion over all, and when one thinks with this mindset, one can detach from his prideful perfectionist projection on the Faith of leaders, and begin to see how God is using them to enact his will.
