Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan by Father Spyridon Bailey

Review by Perrin Lovett

This review concerns an extremely important book, Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan by Father Spyridon Bailey. I review less than ten percent of the books I read, and I fancy that all the works in that select tenth are important, entertaining, or both. Today’s subject book is that and more, the epitome of importance. Every single Christian and all people of goodwill who, in any way, stand against the rot of postmodernity should read it. Herein, without giving all of it away, I’m going to try to go chapter by chapter in an attempt to do it justice.

Bailey, Fr. Spyridon, Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan, Solihull, UK: FeedARead, 2017 (Kindle Ed.)

Father Spyridon Bailey is a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church in England. In addition to his pastoral duties, he has undertaken a popular public ministry with his Simple Path to God Podcast. His YouTube channel is a trove of information and inspiration; consider this recent reflection on the deception of worldly happiness. Blessed with a most sincere and pleasant conversational demeanor, he is also an excellent scholar and writer. Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan is available at Amazon.

Take a close look at the Contents of Orthodoxy…, from the TOC, page 5: Introduction, War, The United Nations, Powerful Elites, The European Union, Freemasonry, Ancient Cults, Ecumenism, Zionism, Banking, One World Government, Education, Mind Control, Child Abuse, The Council On Foreign Relations, Christianity the Real Enemy [of the satanists], Evolution, Nihilism And Materialism, and Preparing For What Is To Come. The covered topics alone should warrant interest in the book. Know that they are arranged and presented in that order for a reason. Father Spyridon sets forth the problem confronting the faithful, walks through the machinations of the wicked that afflict mankind, ties them all together, and then provides the only sane and Godly summary advice for dealing with them. 

For the sake of space, I must focus specifically. The first four chapters get right to the heart of many of our troubles: war is a racket designed to foster power at the expense of lives; the UN was designed to supplant Almighty God and Christian morality; the elites are real and really dangerous; and the EU Parliament Building looks like the artistically depicted Tower of Babel for a reason. I note that in Chapter 4, on page 51, Father Spyridon explains what few know or care to admit: Washington, D.C. is, by Pierre L’Enfant’s original design, a giant Freemasonic-satanic temple. 

Chapter 5 deals with Freemasonry: “[A]n occult organisation opposed to the Church and its teachings. Freemasonry teaches that salvation is not achieved through Christ alone, but through a collection of esoteric practices, many of which are satanic.” (See page 54.) One might know a decent Freemason. One might even be a decent Freemason. But that does not change the literally luciferian nature of the order, its hierarchy, and its two gods, LUCIFER (the good) and Adonai (the bad). In this chapter, some of what Father Spyridon presents is as shocking as it is educative. Despite the protestations of some, Freemasonry is incompatible with Christianity. From page 64: “The higher degrees of Freemasonry contain teachings entirely based on the [Judaic] Kabbalah … and it is as a whole an occult system that uses images and symbols to re-enact a promise of resurrection by means of a Godless philosophy.” 

Chapter 6 delves into ancient cults, particularly as their lingering practices are connected to Freemasonry and other facets of the Enlightenment. Such cults have been at odds with the Church since the days of the Apostles. This chapter naturally flows into the next, which concerns Ecumenism. The goal of that movement is the redefinition of Christianity, from Christ’s Truth to a man-made message of worldly unity. (See page 75.) 

Chapter 8 concerns Zionism, “a nationalistic and racist movement that has been willing to sacrifice Jewish and Palestinian lives in order to achieve its political aims.” (See page 85.) Father Spyridon shows, as did Dr. Blake Alcott at the beginning of The Rape of Palestine, that the Zionist movement is older than many think. And it has politically conquered much of the West, including the near total subjugation of the U.S. to the point that any criticism of it is considered secular blasphemy. In this chapter, Father Spyridon explains the Talmudic subversion of the faith of the ancient, pre-Christian Jews. (See page 95.) He also gets into the links between Zionism and Protestantism and those between Zionism and Freemasonry. (See pages 97-99.) 

Chapter 9 concerns international banking and, as one might guess, the links between it and all of the foregoing wickedness. The reader will learn, as summarized on page 103, “how the bankers control governments, destroy international economies when it serves their own ends, and how they are working to create a system of control that will result in economic slavery of every person on the planet.” The power of the bankers over England and America is long and entrenched. On page 104, Father Spyridon includes a somewhat craven quote from Thomas Jefferson: “Slavery to a military force can be abolished by an opposing force of arms. But a debtor’s enslavement to a creditor, no weapons can overthrow.” As Jefferson and company were loath to include any reference to the true Trinitarian God in any of America’s founding documents, one wonders if they were familiar with the Biblical concepts of the Sabbatical and the Jubilee, not to mention the subject matter of Jesus’s first public sermon. Orthodoxy… was published just a few years before Russia, China, and the BRICS+ nations began their staunch opposition to the Western financial slavery system; their traditional, nationalistic replacement approach appears to be working very well for the greater part of humanity. Yet within the West, the enslaved are approaching the tedious end of the faux prosperity conjured by the bankers; Father Spyridon walks readers through the many steps and phases that led us to this sad point. What he presents, even to those familiar with the postmodern monetary and financial systems, is staggering. One very interesting point he makes is the blame-shifting concerning the financial disaster, from the malevolent bankers to their victims. To wit, on page 120, he notes: “Greeks were portrayed as a lazy, untrustworthy nation who were seeking debt forgiveness because of their selfish lifestyle.” That false characterization should sound familiar to U.S. student loan victims, and any borrowers slandered over the impossibility of their usurious financial condition. 

The imposition of debt slavery over so much of the human population leads directly into the next chapter, concerning attempts to establish a One World Government. Christians should not fear calling this evil what it is. (See page 125.) The proponents of globalism have not been quiet in extolling the inverted virtues they wish to impose on humanity. Father Spyridon includes quotes from Winston Churchill, James Paul Warburg, and others to this effect; these are reminders that, regardless of whether ordinary people notice, the wicked usually explain exactly what they are doing as they do it. 

Chapter 11, “Education,” kicks off with an informative quote from J.D. Rockefeller: “I don’t want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers.” (See page 137.) The modern schools began as factory worker and soldier training camps where a child’s curiosity and capability was beaten out of him. They have since morphed into anti-Christian social experiments and pedophile hunting grounds. Father Spyridon’s experience here is personal, as he spent 14 years fighting the system within the U.K. schools. (Id.) He goes very deep into what shaped the schools, who was behind the intrusions, and the attendant results of the assorted subversions. He reminds us, on page 152, that, “The right to educate children must never be taken from parents, and the state must never be permitted to dictate the values and standards it believes supersede all other belief systems.”

“Education” naturally progresses into Chapter 12, “Mind Control,” and Chapter 13, “Child Abuse.” Both of these satanic phenomena stem from the operations of the elites, their governments, and the intelligence agencies within those governments. Numerous examples, from television to pornography to lgbtP predation of children, are provided. Many of them are deeply disturbing. 

The Council on Foreign Relations, as Father Spyridon argues on page 186, Chapter 14, serves as an intermediary between the foregoing groups and their dark works. Chapter 15 explains that the true enemy of the satanic world disorder is Jesus Christ and His Church. The following chapters cover the effects of Darwinian Evolution and Nihilism, two sides of the devil’s coin. The former severs man from his traditions, and the latter renders the individual a being of nothingness, ever ready to be deluded and captured. 

Father Spyridon’s final chapter, 18, “Preparing For What Is To Come,” reassures Christians that we are fighting in a spiritual war. (See page 224.) “Our struggles here in time in this world will determine our eternal condition, and so we must reject the temporary comforts that tempt us from taking up our cross. Let us open our eyes to what is happening, let us recognise how Satan is working against us with every weapon his kingdom provides.” (See page 231.) Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan is a masterfully compiled litany of those weapons. And rather than giving in to despair when confronted with the dreadful arsenal, the book and its author valiantly leap to defend the Christian Faith and those who adhere to it.

As I noted, Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan will be an invaluable resource for any Christian or anyone else who wants to make sense of the current age of death, slavery, and doom. Regardless of one’s views on eschatology, one must realize at this very late hour that something, many things, in fact, have gone dreadfully wrong. Given the magnitude of what has happened to us all, even an honest atheist should admit, in the total absence of religious considerations, that there now exists a system of total degradation and control that threatens every corner of the world. Father Spyridon’s book is a no-holds-barred look at what has happened, and is a strong encouragement to take up the fight against evil. Please make reading it a high priority.

Once again, I am grateful to the esteemed Jose Miguel for recommending this excellent book. Please read some of Jose’s thoughts, some of the most learned and coherent going today.
