Rasputins letter to Nicholas about his own death

Rasputins letter to Nicholas about his own death
In December 1916 Grigory Rasputin sent a letter to Nicholas II about his own death: “I feel that I shall leave life before January 1st. I wish to make known to the Russian people, to Papa (the Tsar), to the Russian Mother (the Tsarina) and to the Children what they must understand. If I am killed by common assassins, and especially by my brothers the Russian peasants, you, the Tsar of Russia, will have nothing to fear for your children, they will reign for hundreds of years. But if I am murdered by boyars, nobles, and if they shed my blood, their hands will remain soiled with my blood for twenty-five years and they will leave Russia. Brothers will kill brothers, and they will kill each other and hate each other, and for twenty-five years there will be no peace in the country.

Martyr for Christ and Tsar, friend of Emperor Nicholas II and His Holy Family, Slandered by enemies of God, Tsar and Russia, the Holy New Martyr Grigori Rasputin-Novykh

(Rasputin’s letter to Nicholas about his own death). “The Tsar of the land of Russia, if you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigory has been killed, you must know this: if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then none of your children will remain alive for more than two years. And if they do, they will beg for death as they will see the defeat of Russia, see the Antichrist coming, plague, poverty, destroyed churches, and desecrated sanctuaries where everyone is dead”.

(Rasputin’s letter to Nicholas about his own death). The Russian Tsar, you will be killed by the Russian people and the people will be cursed and will serve as the devil’s weapon killing each other everywhere. Three times for 25 years they will destroy the Russian people and the orthodox faith and the Russian land will die. I shall be killed. I am no longer among the living. Pray, pray, be strong, and think of your blessed family. ”

A lot of people could have envied Siberian peasant Rasputin for how close he was to the Empress and the family. Envy kills. He didn’t murder anyone or anything. Rasputin was cruelly killed by so-called “noble” people, that was the beginning of bloody Russian history, that was what Rasputin wrote about. Crime of 1916 and years of punishment.
