The End of The World - A talk by Father Seraphim Rose

A speech by Father Seraphim Rose in which he speaks about signs which are being fulfilled in our times, which point to the end of the world. He refers to Aleksandr Solzhinetsyn's Harvard Address, which can also be viewed on this channel discribing these events, and the fragility of Western Civilization.
Hieromonk Father Seraphim Rose (Formerly known in his youth as Eugene Dennis Rose; August 13, 1934 - September 2, 1982) was a hieromonk of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in the United States, whose writings have helped spread Orthodox Christianity throughout modern America and the West and are also quite popular in Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece. Although not yet glorified, he is celebrated by some Orthodox Christians as a saint in iconography, liturgy, and prayer. (Source: OrthodoxWiki).

Wow! Thank you so much for breaking this down in time stamps! Much appreciated. I'll pin your comment. It is indeed troubling and many have normalized a cold heart and secular nature. I have actually recited Aleksandr's Harvard speech on my channel too in case you are interested, as the original audio was sabotaged on the day (according to one commenter who was an audio technician that day). I believe the date is around 2030 where things reveal. Though we cannot despair, for the Lord is near us. Thanks again for your effort on this! Many blessings 🙏
