A VISION OF OUR FUTURE & THE END OF THE WORLD: THE GREATEST DANGER & THE GREATEST HOPE.

[@cassaundramariac9075]

Fr Seraphim is the closest thing I have to a spiritual father.

[@mmaakkiinn]

🙏 Amen...I feel the same

[@jhenfresh]

I feel the same too. I’ve learnt so much from him

[@parysethibodeau9474]

thank you for turning me on to him!! He is just pure joy

[@ethnocentricfun991]

Amen

[@andreigl]

That shouldn't stop you from searching a spiritual father (mentor, guide). God bless!

[@bakarycisse]

Thank you for this powerful word of thé, truth, thé ONLY enemy IS thé devil, i pray may god, keep us and SAVE US from thé enemy Amen

[@bethbloomer5951]

Although I do not identify as a Christian, your vlogs and sermons inspire me to face my true self, to find love in a clownworld of madness, to rid myself of fear and to be a better human being. I deeply appreciate your words; your mind is such an inspiration! Thank you dear Brother.

[@MrIvorfan]

I second that! In my experience, Fr. Seraphim is an Orthodox priest like no other. He is a good and sincere man who, as you say, inspires. Although I am an agnostic and a humanist, what he says so often rings so true that he makes me sit up and take real notice. There are not many priests nowadays that have that effect on me.

[@bethbloomer5951]

@@MrIvorfan I wholeheartedly agree. What a mind 🧠 ❤

[@Clodaghbob]

MrIvorfan Be very careful. If you hang around in this particular channel for long enough you'll start to have doubts about the very non-existence of God. Just sayin'. 😁

[@phredharvey7428]

Live in" JOY"= Jesus first Others second Yourself last

[@patredman3733]

Amen dear Father Seraphim. God’s truth spoken with sincere conviction. Amen, amen, amen. I am so blessed to have been given your messages, truly God is using you to bless so many.

[@margaretphilomenagibbons774]

Thank you Father for this life giving teaching . Its all about love & Gods Kingdom within us . Love will triumph over the darkness. Jesus died on the cross to redeem us. Thank you Jesus . My sin is the absence of love. Spirit filled teaching . Jesus come think your thougts in my mind & the minds of all people. So that we may all love with Your Love

[@botanyhead]

Thank you, Father. Glory to God! I love the reminder that “not doing” things that are sinful is a powerful action.

[@ethnocentricfun991]

"The Kingdom is in us, so is hell". We better examine our heart. So easy to blame others, so hard to look in the mirror. Thank God that he delights in Mercy

[@nicholasalbert9573]

Dear Fr. Seraphim, Thank you and bless you for nailing on where the real danger to the world is! It is the individual and collective sin of our humanity. I always meditate on these two great things about our Lord. First, He is sinless and the second: wherever He went He was doing good. We are called to follow Him and that's how we can conquer evil in the world.

[@shawnhampton8503]

The common hallmarks of those who want us to believe that "evil" is some mysterious force is that they present another group of humans to fear and hate: them, those guys, those people, that group. The Devil loves this so much. Such a great message, Father.

[@bonniejohnstone]

Apocalyptic ideas, conspiracy theories lead to fear and despondency... and a type of self centered superiority. God becomes less important than the fear. You hit the nail on the head Father! Love shatters hell!

[@dianagusterson9572]

How shocking, that tiny beads of plastic are found in an unborn infant.

[@terrytzaneros8007]

Falling-in with the lies of the world, the flesh and the devil, is the quick-sand of the soul.

[@delizzadavila3657]

Thank you! I'm so tired of hearing about the crazy conspiracies.... Peace be with you Father🙏

[@Clodaghbob]

Even the coldest days seem to be stunningly beautiful on Mull.🤗

[@gagirl39]

Love will change the world not hate. This message is so on point!!!! Thank you for your spiritual wisdom. May Jesus strengthen and protect you. keep spreading the love of Jesus

[@pjlw6807]

You're the first person I've heard, apart from myself, say sin is basically not loving with a self-giving love. PS We loved the message. Love & Blessings, from Pitlochry

[@Mariuszzbuj]

It is really "the voice of one crying in the wilderness". Thank you Brather for these words of light!

[@loverlei79]

I have been dealing with some very serious struggles after my near death experience. While my issue is not about the apocalypse, you have been able to answer a burning question and burden I've been carrying for such a very long time. You are truly a lfeline. I can now live in peace.

[@cassaundramariac9075]

That's beautiful, amen.

[@M33838]

@lovepeace Can you tell us what you experimented? Just if you want

[@thewingedhussar810]

Wise and very strong words, hitting the nail on the head. I sincerely wish this video should reach everybody who needs to hear these words. Thank you, Father!

[@nordickitten]

I do too, I long for the world to wake its sleeping eyes. How hard must we pray it seems, we are heard though, faith tells us so. Bless you and your house this day nd all of those to come ~

[@fstri757]

"You can now just go online and choose your favorite end of the world." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you for the good, healthy laugh.😂 Oh it's so true! I feel like the majority of the Orthodox KZbin videos that are offered to me as suggestion are full of nothing but utter nonsense these days. Your words did my heart good. I am full of hope for the future of our world. The gates of hell will not prevail against the Church. There will always be the faithful who are faithful. There have always been saints in every generation. Actually, I think the world is quite ripe for an explosion of Orthodoxy. I converted a year and a half ago. Seeing the change in my own heart gives me so much hope for the world, because if I can change, then nothing is impossible for God.

[@emilyawood]

I'm guilty of apocalypse shopping too lol, I'd rather live one day at a time and be encouraged by sobering messages like this one instead of twiddling my thumbs waiting for the world to end. It gets me into my flesh and I start acting worldly when I expect Jesus to rapture me, have to remember He already has delivered my spirit into His kingdom

[@heatherwhitehead3743]

We have lost a sense of even what offends God. This is a beautiful talk! Thankyou

[@maryannmcnair6887]

True,Jesus Christ is the only way,Thankyou God our Father for sending your only son Jesus Christ to save us from hell

[@Carlos44]

Thanks so much for another powerful and timely message.

[@normaodenthal8009]

A much needed message! Fr Seraphim is right. What has to be remedied is: me first, you second, and everyone and everything else last. Individualism is the path to hell. Sin is the failure to see the presence of God in another, and acting in a way that is less than loving.

[@Clodaghbob]

There is hope. Look at how many are coming together to help others to get through COVID. There _is_ an increased awareness that we need to look out for each other. Ordinary people doing little things like phoning someone who lives alone on a regular basis or being available when somebody just needs to have a volcanic rant about the misery of the world. And there are all the groups doing things to keep people's spirits up. The Swiss Police and An Garda Síochána (Irish police) danced to Jerusalema just to cheer us up! And there are all the people serenading the front line workers from apartments across Spain and Italy. The actions of these 'little' people count for something. There is hope.

[@federicoalassino2944]

Thank you Father. May God bless you. Greetings from Argentina.

[@colmwhateveryoulike3240]

As an ecologist who got really depressed and immersed in nature along with many who felt similar but were prone to conspiracy theorising, everything you say here speaks to the same truth that God made clear to me even as I was an atheist just beginning to encounter Him again for the first time since childhood (at least from my perspective). I find it affirmational and encouraging to hear it from the holiest man I know in the world. I see these conspiracied too and I dare not be so certain for fear of arrogance but I need to put aside doubt and get on with my job. We are clearly designed to be stewards and the current mess is a sign of our sin, in exactly the manner the Bible paints it. God bless you Father!

[@petercollette6709]

Thank you for your message father praise Jesus amen

[@Kressa1111]

The demons tormented me day and night They made me a patient of the flesh But what they didn’t know Was the further in they drove their arrows And Whatever they used against me Was fired back upon them They were defeated by my suffering Now a patient of the flesh But at eternal rest- Knowing Jesus passed our test. He goes before us on the battlefield- When we come to yield Our hearts- Satan cannot have. So let’s be glad In God alone. At the cornerstone. God bless you father.

[@nordickitten]

Outstanding! Jesus keeps you close and it IS why the fight is brutal. I am so happy for you! Thank you Jesus, Thank you so much ! Bless you Good Soul ~

[@anothercat1300]

Thank you Father, I was just reading the story of Saint Margaret the Dragonslayer! I reccomend the story to everyone! God bless!

[@ladyhawke858]

I believe that I must keep my soul as free from stain as possible in my imperfection and to not offend God even in the smallest things. He has been hurt too much for our sake. I realized I was on the correct path when a truck missed me by an inch. I watched this massive thing come upon me and all I felt was profound peace. I stood there in silent peace. I felt I was prepared to meet my God. We know not when life can be snatched... end of world or not. I agree with father, keep your godly image clean. I believe if we do, it is a humble and precious gift to Him.

[@iliesculiliana5846]

YOUR MESSAGE IS INDEED FULL OF OPTIMISM. THE HEART OF THE MESSAGE IS 'WE, TOGETHER. YES, GOD COMMANDS 'BE HOLY', BECAUSE I AM HOLY. AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.

[@deborahbrayton276]

At the feet of Jesus Christ my broken heart cries, Abba Father, Oh Holy Mother of God save us. And, as a dove out of heaven, grace and mercy from God Holy Spirit, arrives, and saves us from the evil one. Daily our heart's prayers, are answered by God, who's promises are true. He loves and simply said, Love other's as I have loved you.. Fear NOT, for I have overcome the world. Christ has Risen

[@laishchennanah4748]

Thanks be to Christ our God.

[@PhoebeK]

Father, thankyou for another amazingly accurate and relevant message. I have given up on most of the 'Orthodox' channels on KZbin as they are so full of doom and gloom they misrepresent the gospel. You always get to the truth and focus on Love which is the point and core of the commandments everything else is commentary on that. I can see that in my study of the fathers, love always comes to the fore and everything else is practical instructions on how to express it in specific situations or how to control our tendency to do unloving things.

[@mariamehaddad]

Grace-filled truth.

[@liehhungc3261]

Father, thank you so much for sharing the message. The devil's best trick is to make people believe that it's always somebody else's fault. And our best strategy is to fight back in love, with love and out of love as love surpasses all!

[@felipeallegro9683]

Such beautiful speech and wisdom I wish everyone could hear it👂 a argument that change the idea of point outside to point inside. We can change the world by change ourselves and achieving our original destiny.

[@alephyalpha2207]

A few more years, Father Seraphim. I say a little selfishly. We need you to be healthy. Prayers sending your way for you and your monastery.

[@danielspilman8311]

I wish I could give you a gold star rather than a thumbs up. You gave some profound and true wisdom regarding your our own worst enemy; ourselves. I have learned over the years that it is not God, clergy, angels, demons, or any person that will keep from knowing God as much as I can. It is myself who can prohibit me from knowing God to the fullest. True, the Deceiver and the powers of darkness work to destroy us but we alone decide if we walk in the light and how close to God we are. He is always wanting us to know him to the fullest. Edit to give you a gold star ⭐️

[@dariaangkadiredja5633]

Thank you very much Father Seraphim, your speech so powerful and full of love, full of wisdom, God bless you ! I am a Roman Catholic and now in my Church I hear so many different opinions about this time, but your opinion is so full of wisdom make me feel peace.

[@Mary-ui4im]

Amen. Beautiful Father. Thank you. You preach a message of hope that I need to hear to keep going forward in life with the Grace of God.

[@4kleisurelywalks]

If you have insecurities about the future folks, I would suggest that you READ the Bible. Yes, there are horrible sufferings in the world but please take comfort that all believers and followers of Christ will be absolutely fine. In other words, you are SAVED and you have NOTHING to worry about. Our LORD JESUS wants all believers to continue to pray and draw closer to God. Please do not worry my friends...Turn away from sin AND TURN TO JESUS FOR COMFORT AND PEACE....

[@landfound]

Fr., permit me to say. You are right and as soon I started typing you said it. End times speaking, "It's a career path". The speakers on the circuit feed the masses' appetites. It is entertaining. Fr., I have wrestled with greed and exploitation philosophically. There are checks and balances throughout the way that keeps the product, whatever is sold to standards. Albeit there are different standards depending on the price. The consumer has the right to purchase or not. You have the right to sell. "Your rights end where mine begin." Lastly, may I dare say Paul had a foundation in law. The Israelites had a foundation in law. Nevertheless, the Holy Spirit is triumphant. I love you Fr.

[@cristinadragaescu1459]

Thank you for this video and for all of the videos. The internet is full unfortunately of this apocalyptic ideas. I was triyng to tell the people that this can't be so ...and they call me a heretic 🙂. We are so happy to have you Fr Serafim! We pray for you!

[@onlyjesussaves2220]

Great message from lovely father Aldea. May Good bless him! IMHO pride (selfishness, egoism) is another major obstacle on our way to close relationships with our God. I would compere it to a pandemic as it has stricken every human on the earth in some extent.

Thank you for this message, it really opened my heart.

[@LofiA2ura]

It is my sin that will end the world! Your video, Father Seraphim, matches with all the Saints tells us in these days to do: REPENT and PRAY! Started my vigils last night, according to your advice, it was pretty amazing to wake up at the time I wished to start, without any help, except that from my guardian angel. God keep you in his hand Father, many years! God bless. Oh and please show us some pics from the frozen ocean.

[@lawrenceebner6827]

This is so profound. Truth. Love. Power. Lord God, walk with us that we will be saved and may we be used by You to save others.

If only we had more people like you dearest Father life would be more hopeful. A very beautiful way of dragging some of us out of the mire and into the light. And what hope. After the year we have all had this indeed is a message of hope. Thanks for allowing us to continue.

[@syncleticasaint9134]

Ive not heard any other priest or monastic or spiritual guide teach with such passionate love and clarity at this bizarre and frightening time as Father. But Why is it such a bizarre time? What has caused all to be turned upside down so swiftly !!!? Suddenly its as if a very ugly spirit has easily entered millions of people ; millions of people spread out across the entire earth. Millions now prepared and ready to do evil. At the drop of a hat they have literally flipped. Its as if so many have just been waiting inside themselves for the green light to do sinful hurtful evil.And do it so easily. How did this happen?! In myself i must be watchful ..yes. But i was taught by parents teachers; the Orthodox church and great books of the Bible and in prayer ,what is wrong and sinful for me to do..that i must be loving and truthful and responsible for all my thoughts and actions. I thought we all knew that to one degree or another. But it seems i was and am mistaken. How do we now go off to work and do the insane thing someone who has authority tells us to do? Its Fear! Fear of death. Fear of punishment. What else could it be? Suddenly for so very many people there is now No Lord. He has for them been erased. I am so shocked. But i must watch me and cling to Hope and Love and XC. But notice how we are being made a stranger and enemy to each other.

Thank you very much dear Father for this message which goes exactly to the heart of things. The current situation being already exhausting, all these theories, sometimes shameful, continually wear us down a little more. They turn us away from God and from ourselves by finding the most obvious culprits and thereby distance us from the awareness of our greatest sin. God through the cross has already vanquished. Let's keep our eyes fixed on him. God and our brothers first. It's the program of a lifetime ... of a little lamp lit while waiting for the Fiancé.

[@heatherwhitehead3743]

We are a social animal. As in the design is interdependent. The only way it works is mutual respect. The only way I can find respect sometimes for the human animal is remembering how Jesus himself found us so worthy to die for. I sometimes can see the beautiful child an adult must have been at one time. I sometimes image people's glorified self. What kind of design is this with what purpose? If you have been homeless or without a family you will feel the truth of that design. It's like being a herd animal and being the weak one on the edge of group that the predator picks to kill. But I sure like to be alone in solitude.

[@CatherineMorris53]

Wow! Thank you Father. You have blessed and affirmed my heart today. We can help the world by living in such a way as "to be made into His image..." - and you are showing us the way. I thank God for your example and for your video teachings which reach across the globe to me and others. ❤️

Love alone will save us from ourselves 🙏

[@MrIoanparaschiv]

God bless you as well Father Seraphim. Saying 'Thank you !' for these spiritual advices is too little, but still I thank you for your time taken to share these thoughts with all of us. The enemy is the evil one, but this evil one does not exist unless we, humans, are giving him ways to exist, and that is through our sinful lives. We are in the end the source of evil, through our sins. But, still, within ourselves there is as well this hidden treasure of God, given to all of us, together with our lives. That is the power to love in Christ, as only through such a love in Christ we can really be alive. If we are to really love God and love each other in Christ, what a World would be that? The Heavens will become our every day sky. What we really need to do, to show that we really love God? Christ gives us the answer too: helping the one next to us in need, shows that we love both God and the one next to us. What stays against this is 'me 1st'. How many blessings we would get from God if we are to help the one next to us in need, and what a World will be that? God bless you all !
