The video 'AI & Antichrist. We enter an age of spiritual darkness' was recorded by Fr Seraphim (Aldea) at Iona Monastery (The Orthodox Monastery of the Mother of God and All Saints of Iona), on the Isle of Iona.

I'm a protestant so I never heard of Moses the black, but man that sounds like a testimony! Learning more about Catholocism and Orthodoxy please pray for me.

We need more Orthodox Monasteries in North America!

Father, I was hazed by a frat 5 years ago and about 7 months ago all the suppressed trauma from what happened became unmanageable. I was forced to do many things including eating disgusting foods in order to vomit over 100 times in a 3 day span, and not sleep for the 3 days as well. At the end we were drugged and I had a nervous breakdown. About a year and a half ago I came to Christ and Orthodoxy and watched most of not all of your videos. For the last 7 months my spiritual father has been visiting me at my house because I have been unable to leave my house. I have not been able to swallow solid food because of what happened and liquids are still difficult. I am in constant pain and it has been labeled as “Complex PTSD” by doctors. Please pray for me, this has been the most difficult time for me and my family who is struggling as well. I’m not sure if all of this made sense but I am completely devastated at the moment and could use your prayers. My name is Alex and I am from California. Thank you

So many of us have been fooled into trusting our own wisdom and thinking ourselves worthy of visions and even The Body and Blood of Christ that we are ripe for being mislead daily.
It is heartwarming for me to hear your words today Father. Bless you and thank you ☦

I'm a professor who teaches in an area of computer science and languages. This message from the Father puts fear my heart. I keep up with how fast AI is progressing, and we must have God's guidance through the church. God bless Father Seraphim!

[eldruidacosmico]

Great video! With A.I. the grand age of slander, blackmail and surveilance has begun. We must rely more and more on the Holy Spirit and not our senses, one can only acquire the Holy Spirit by having an active life in the church, and by doubling down on repentance and prayer. ☦️☦️☦️ Greetings from Costa Rica!

[Thot-StompaSigma]

Please Pray for me Brothers and Sisters. The sins of the devil have had a grip on me lately that I cannot stand anymore. I am too weak on my own but with the Lord our Father Christ Jesus, I can defeat the sins. Please pray for me.

Greetings from the west coast of Norway, where once my forefathers traveled to Iona and Holy Island Lindisfarne, starting the Viking Age. I can trace the roots of my family back to the first written sources here in Norway, so it's not at all unlikely that some of my forefather might have traveled to the deeply Christian lands of Ireland and Britain back then, to spread fear, bloodshed, pagan beliefs, slavery, rape, theft and so on... So you have no idea how much it means to me to see a monk speaking to me from across the North Sea about The Way of Christ Jesus. And it also say's a lot that there's no more vikings left, no more heathen religion here, but you are there. So God bless you so much. I hope this inspire you at Iona too, amen. God bless you and your work, and fruits thereof, amen.

Asking for prayer,
I am in a very dark place with a horrendous plight.
God bless all and thanks 💔

Are you from Romania, Father?
And by the way, I have noticed that this Dark Age has started from 2020 BUT it has *significantly* got worse from 2022. Now we are being digged deeper into the darkness. Keep your guards up, fellow christians! 🙏🏼💙☦🇷🇴Love from Romania

[SaintJoseph]

Roman catholic here, great video. God bless you for getting the message out. They are already saying this AI is performing "miracles". It no doubt will... but to what end? We need to stay strong

[god-is-with-us]

Don’t let your fear lead you astray, trust in Jesus Christ. Don’t think you are not worthy of Christ for he came for the sinners and open the gates of heaven. trust in his love and mercy.

[dustinwalker]

You have a unique way of telling me what I don’t want to hear in a way that is understandable and digestible and cuts to the heart. Please pray for this sinner.

[remahunt]

Thank you Father for sharing your enlightened view on what is coming to this world of ours. The darkness in America is increasing rapidly. Right is certainly perceived as wrong and wrong as right. It is very disheartening to watch. Orthodoxy to me is righteous and holy and pleasing to God. You are taking wonderful care of your sheep. God Bless you and each of your Brothers and Sisters every minute of every day.

Dear father seraphim
What an important message you have today thank you 🙏 - definitely food for thought..May we, His sheep and His church, always recognize His voice, the good shepherd, in this world of confusion. The devil fights the church but humility overcomes the devil. May Christ remind us each of us, every second of every day, how much He has forgiven us individually so we may never judge anyone. May Christ the redeemer who erases and forgives our sins lead us to such a deep repentance, we can only but look to Him and His church alone .. nothing and no one else 🙏🙏

This went in a direction different than I expected. I hadn't considered the gossip angle.

The danger from AI, as such, is the human reality, NOT the creation of Terminator-like killer robots that decide to enslave or exterminate humanity. What PEOPLE do with AI is where the danger comes from, not the machines rising up to overthrow humanity.

In The Lord of the Rings, the wizard Saruman fell because he was using a magical object, a Palantir seeing stone, beyond his ability to make. Someone with deeper abilities was able to manipulate him and turn him to evil. We use social media but we are not able to create it, ourselves. We are open to the manipulation of others, and even when there's just a mistake in an algorithm, we are hit with the mistakes and we don't know what's going on.

Glory to God - Thank you Fr. Wholeheartedly agree with your grave concern over this topic. Also, so grateful to God for your recovery.☦

[monstermash]

Don't be afraid, my brother. Even if we have to lay our lives down for Christ, in this we will be redeemed. Pain and suffering in this world is always temporal, we must be strong together in the coming years.

[Ndw]

I also worry a lot about the coming times. I’ve prayed and asked God for discernment my whole life, and He has given it to me. The hardest part for me will be seeing some people I love fall to sin, or falling into deception. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force it to drink.

[mmaakkiinn]

I believe the falling away has started and is immense right now...Praying for everyone to keep the faith ✝️ Kyrie Isouy Xriste Eleison emas ✝️
