While watching footage of the search of Bagrat Srbazan’s residence, one thought kept haunting me. I was thinking, well, they didn’t find the Gospel. It is especially good that the Revelation of John was not attached to the criminal cases, otherwise the 18 righteous would also be accused of planning the Last Judgment…
And if you are serious, one thing has been very clear to me for a long time: in the case of the 18 righteous, it is not the court and the defendants who are judging Bagrat Bishop, but the exact opposite, the Holy Father is judging these authorities.
The verdict is already ripe. And that will be the verdict that will never be cleared from the face of the treacherous authorities. Before the Last Judgment, they will be remembered for generations by that decision.
