Prayer Against the Antichrist By Elder Anatoly the Younger of Optina | Christ is King | Book of Revelation | Orthodox Christian Jean JacketA Prayer Against the Antichrist By Elder Antoly the Younger of Optina O LORD Jesus Christ, Son of God, deliver us from the deceptive seductions of the coming antichrist, abhorred by God and crafty in evil, and from all his snares. Shelter us from his devious nets, keeping us in the secret desert of Thy salvation. Grant, Lord, that our fear of the devil may not be greater than our fear of Thee, and that we not fall away from Thee and Thy holy Church.

Deacon: For the peace from above and for the salvation of our souls

- Archbishop AVERKY (Taushev)

Third Stichera at Lord I Have Cried

and prevents worms from breeding within it

in distresses

lacking freedom in my heart

when they beheld Thee suspended unjustly upon the Tree

He who comes from above is above all

A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven

is your sting

My strength is dried up like a potsherd

the First and the Last
