00:00Lord, we do thank you that we can meet here tonight and pray that you'll bless the reading
00:15and the preaching of your word tonight. Guide us by your Holy Spirit into all truth. We
00:20pray this in Jesus' name.
00:23Okay, so looking at the signs of the times, second talk. Going to be asking the question,
00:30are things going to get better or worse? Be fairly political tonight, so if you get upset
00:37if I mention things which are political, then sorry, but that's how it is. But we'll also
00:43be looking at some of the scriptures and how it relates to what's happening around us.
00:48If you're following the news, you may have noticed that our beloved leader, Sakhir Starmer,
00:54spoke outside in Downing Street and he said, things will get worse before they get better.
01:02I sent him a letter with a copy of Light for Last Days and I prophesied about what's going
01:09to happen, the ten signs of the second coming booklet. And I said, in a way this is correct,
01:15they will get worse, but before they get better, they'll get much, much worse, as the
01:20prophets of the Bible play out in current events. Unfortunately, you won't be able to
01:24reverse this trend. The only way things will get better will be when Jesus Christ returns
01:29with all power of God to put right the mess which humans have made of our world. Details
01:35of how this will work out, please read the disclosed magazine and the booklet, Ten Signs
01:39of the Return of the Messiah. Whether he will, I don't know. I also sent a copy to
01:49our local MP. So why would I say that they might go from bad to much, much worse? Two
01:58basic reasons. One, because to fulfil the word of God. One has to say that if you look
02:04at the prophets of the Bible, the end times, you'll find that they all speak about a time
02:07of great trouble, which would come before the second coming of Jesus. Jesus himself
02:12would be unlike any time there's been before or ever shall be. And unless God cut short
02:16those days, then no flesh would be saved, which implies that if God didn't cut short
02:20those days, it would bring the end of life on the earth. So the Bible does say they're
02:24going to become a much, much worse time in the days to come. Also says it's going to
02:28be a much, much incredibly undescribably better time coming when Jesus returns. And for those
02:35who believe in Jesus, you're going to have a number of experiences which are so mind
02:41blowingly good that I can't describe them, but they're in the Bible. Those who believe
02:46in Jesus can be supernaturally taken out of the world in the event we call the rapture
02:49of the church, when one will be taken, one will be left, and we'll go to be with the
02:53Lord, we'll meet the Lord in the air. We'll have these bodies which are subject to ageing,
02:59to sickness, and ultimately to death, replaced with bodies which will never get old, never
03:03get sick and never die. Particularly when you get to my age in life, you're definitely
03:08looking forward to that experience. And we'll go to the marriage supper of the lamb and
03:12meet with Jesus and all the apostles and all the people down through the ages, and then
03:16we'll come back with Jesus riding on white horses at the second coming of Jesus when
03:20he takes up his reign on the earth for 1000 years. Does that sound good? Yeah. You have
03:28to believe in Jesus to get there. I do have to warn you and anybody who's listening to
03:32this, if you don't believe in Jesus, then the future is actually indescribably bad because
03:35you'll be separated from God for all eternity, in a place which is called hell, which you
03:40don't want to go to, and you don't need to go to, because if you repent and believe the
03:44Bible, you're going to be with Jesus forever. So that's the first reason why things are
03:49going to go from bad to worse to fulfil the prophecies of the Bible. Second reason actually
03:55relates to something he said. He said this project, Stalman said this project, i.e. the
04:00present Labour government, I suppose, has always been about fixing the foundations of
04:04our country. So the aim of the present government is to fix the foundations which apparently
04:09have been destroyed. Now, there's a verse in the Psalms which says if the foundations
04:16are destroyed, what can the righteous do? And if you look at things from a biblical
04:22Christian point of view, then the foundations of biblical viewpoint, particularly biblical
04:28Christian viewpoint, have been destroyed in this country over the last several years.
04:32They've been destroyed by successive governments, Tory, Conservative, and by politicians who
04:38in my mind have actually betrayed this country and taken us into the wrong direction, into
04:44the hands of people who actually want to destroy us. And I have no hope at all that Sir Keir
04:51Stalman is going to change that, unless he repents and believes the Gospel, which if
04:57he did so, he'd actually be thrown out of office anyway. So the way the system is structured,
05:02he cannot. There's a certain train of events which have been set in motion which will lead
05:08ultimately to this time of trouble. But I felt to read the scripture which actually
05:14Chris read to us the other week, but I'm going to read it again from Isaiah chapter 1, which
05:20to my mind actually describes what's happening today. It's written by Isaiah, of course,
05:25to the people of Israel at this time. But if you look at it carefully, you can see that
05:29much of it applies to our time and to us today. So I'm going to read from Isaiah chapter 1,
05:35starting at verse 2.
05:40Hear, O Evans, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord has spoken. I have nourished and
05:45brought up children. They've rebelled against me. The ox knows its owner, and the donkey
05:50its master's crib. But Israel does not know. Why people do not consider. Alas, sinful nation,
05:57a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who are corrupters. They've forsaken
06:03the Lord. They've provoked to anger the Holy One of Israel. They've turned away backward.
06:09Why should you be stricken again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick
06:13and the whole heart faints. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no
06:18soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores. They've not been closed
06:24or bound up or soothed with ointment. Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned
06:28with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence. It is desolate and as overthrown
06:33by strangers. So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in the vineyard, as a hut in the
06:39garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a very small
06:44remnant, we would have become like Sodom. We'd have been made like Gomorrah. Hear the
06:49word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom. Give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
06:54To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me, says the Lord? I've had enough of burnt
06:59offerings, of rams and of the fat of bird cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls
07:04or of lambs or of goats. When you come to appear before me, who has required this from
07:09your hand to trample my courts, bring no more futile sacrifices, incenses and abomination
07:15to me, the new moons, the Sabbaths and the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure iniquity
07:20and the sacred meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts, my soul hates. They
07:26are a trouble to me and I'm weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands, I will
07:30hide my eyes from you. Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear you. Your hands
07:35are full of blood. A pretty strong statement that. He's actually saying to the people of
07:40Israel, I'm fed up with your religion. It does nothing for me. You can offer all your
07:43sacrifices all you like, but it's just hypocrisy because in your hearts there is so much evil
07:49and I'm waiting for you to change your ways before I can take note of what you are saying.
07:55Even your prayers, I won't hear them. And that means that we have to be right with God
07:59if God's going to hear our prayers. We have to be living in the right way if we want God
08:02to bless us, which is what the prophet says in the next few verses, which conclude the
08:06book you're going to read today. Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean, put away the evil of
08:10your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil. Learn to do good. Seek justice. Rebuke
08:16the oppressor. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow. Come now, let us reason together,
08:21says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they should be as white as snow. Though they're
08:24red like crimson, they should be as wool. If you're willing and obedient, you should
08:29eat the good of the land, but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword,
08:34for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. It's a very graphic description of the nation,
08:40and I think you can see if you look at it carefully, there are a number of things which
08:44relate to this nation as well as to Israel. See a body here which is described as being
08:49afflicted from head to toe. The head is injured, the heart is afflicted. So the top people
08:56who are running the country, from the top people right down to the bottom people at
09:00the bottom of the pile, you've got a diseased and wounded body. The head which is the controlling
09:05influence is no longer subject to the head of God, but is under its own influence, and
09:15particularly under the influence of the evil one. And therefore it's giving wrong advice,
09:20it's giving wrong directions, and it's not functioning with sound judgment. You see
09:25any of that happening in our country today? Especially from people in authority. Sometimes
09:31there's some really crazy things going on, which seem to be mad. The heart also is wrong,
09:38it's afflicted. The heart, which is the seed of the emotion, the spiritual life, which
09:42causes the whole body to function correctly and to live, is now malfunctioning. So if
09:51the head and the heart are malfunctioning, then that body is diseased, and if it continues
09:55in that way, it's going to die. Because if your head's not working and your heart's not
09:59working, you're heading towards actual death. So God is saying that there's something so
10:03radically wrong with this society, unless it changes its ways, it's on the path to extinction,
10:09to death. And he tells us very clearly what is the reason for this condition. He says,
10:16they're a sinful nation, they don't consider God, they're a brood of evildoers, and they've
10:23forsaken the Lord, they've provoked anger, the Holy One of Israel, they've turned their
10:27way backward. So it's not accidental they're in this condition, it's because of an attitude
10:32which has been part of the society from the rulers down to the bottom of forsaking the Lord,
10:37doing what they think is right, not what God says is right. And as a result, they're
10:41in this desperate condition. And it's really speaking about rejection and rebellion against
10:48God at all levels of society. In the days of Isaiah, the foundations were laid by Moses
10:57in the Torah, and the way that God wanted the people to live was according to the Torah,
11:02the commandments given by God, particularly the Ten Commandments given at Sinai. And by
11:08the time of the prophets, you see that all of those things are now being set aside and
11:11people are doing what is opposed to those commandments. Today, the foundations are laid
11:16by the Apostles of Jesus Christ, who is the right foundation that we should lay our lives
11:20upon. And we see that the Christian foundations of our society have also been destroyed. And
11:26so it's no accident that these things are happening. He says the result is a desolation.
11:31Your cities are burned with fire, your fields are stripped by foreigners, what previous
11:34generations have built up is now being torn down and laid waste. They compare to Sodom
11:40and Gomorrah. We know that Sodom and Gomorrah were of course destroyed by the fire of God
11:45because of their sin. And he says, unless the Lord had left us a remnant, we would have
11:50become like Sodom and Gomorrah. The question is, what does he mean by the remnant? One
11:55of the words which Isaiah uses frequently in his prophecy is to speak about the remnant.
12:01Remnant actually means the believing godly remnant of people who are still living according
12:05to the commands of God. And he's saying here that if it wasn't for that godly remnant,
12:11then this society, in other words, Israel that he's talking to, would become like Sodom
12:15and Gomorrah. What happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? They were destroyed. So again, you have this
12:20image that if they carry on this way, if they're continuing in this rebellion, they're heading
12:25for destruction. Could it be that that applies to our country as well? Do you see signs like
12:32Sodom and Gomorrah in this country? Do you see rulers who are like Sodom and Gomorrah?
12:38And our role actually is to be a faithful remnant, to bear witness to God's truth, to
12:42pray, to pray for the rock to be halted, for the truth to be preserved. But Isaiah is saying
12:48warning here that because of the rulers of Sodom and the people of Gomorrah, judgment
12:53is coming. Indeed, it's already beginning. And he goes on to say in verse 21 that the
12:58faithful city has become a prostitute. The priests and the prophets have sold out to
13:03evil forces. Do you see that happening in our society as well? How much has the church
13:11sold out? How much is official Christianity abandoned? What's written in this book? You've
13:18got multi-faith things, you've got supporting the LGBT agenda, and the church prostituting
13:25itself in so many ways to anti-Christ measures. That's why the church is so weak. That's why
13:30the people who speak in the name of the Lord, or the name of Christianity, have so little
13:35authority because they're not based upon the word of God. They're just based upon their
13:39private opinions, most of which aren't going in the same way as the politicians and everybody
13:43else. Sometimes I think the church is saying, please world, we want to be like you. Don't
13:48leave us behind. We're on the same page. Don't kick us out. We just want to be like you.
13:54God says, no, don't be like the world. God wants you to be different. God wants you to
13:58challenge the world. God wants you to resist the world and all its influences. And he goes
14:03on to say that justice falls. In a later passage in Isaiah, he's going to write justice has
14:08fallen in the street. And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. In other words,
14:14the godly person, the righteous person who finds themselves on the wrong side of those
14:18in power, make themselves a prey, may find themselves being subject to some kind of persecution
14:26or rejection. And we see today, even today in our society, cases of Christians who protest
14:31at some form of antichrist rulings in society or in their jobs or in the political system
14:40end up in trouble with those in authority, sometimes even losing their jobs, being condemned
14:45or being ostracized. And he goes on to say that the result is a growing violence in society.
14:51You see that happening. All these random knife attacks, senseless killings. Prisons are now
14:58full. There's nowhere to put them. So they're releasing criminals, presumably to carry on
15:03committing crime. Also, he goes on to speak about money losing its value. You see that happening.
15:09Cost of living crisis, inflation, high taxation, and measures which are now being proposed,
15:16which I'll say a little bit more about, which will inevitably lead, I believe, to greater
15:20economic decline and collapse. So what's the answer? The only answer is what Isaiah says in
15:28verses 16 to 20. Turn back to the Lord. Turn back in word and deed. Wash yourselves. Make
15:40yourselves clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
15:45Learn to do good. Seek justice, etc. Let us reason together. Though your sins are like scarlet,
15:52they should be as white as snow. If you're willing and obedient, you shall eat the good
15:57of the land. If you refuse and rebel, you'll be devoured by the sword for the mouth of the Lord
16:02has spoken. So God says here there are two choices before you. Just like Jesus says there are two
16:08paths in front of you. There's one road which leads to destruction, which is the broad road
16:11which many people are on. And there's a narrow road which leads to life, and there are few who
16:15find it. You've got to make a choice to decide which road you want to be on. It says if you're
16:20willing and obedient, you'll eat the good of the land. But if you're disobedient, then you'll face
16:27the sword and destruction. So it's a very clear choice. And Isaiah makes it very clear. And it's
16:34the same choice which we are facing today. Choice facing us in this nation. And I believe actually,
16:40I don't want to sound too much like doom and gloom, but I believe that in many ways this
16:45nation is staring at a huge crisis, even tearing up the abyss. And it's very clear that things are
16:52going to get worse, in my opinion, much, much worse before they get better. And unfortunately,
16:58Mr. Starmer, or Sir Keir Starmer, give him his full title, doesn't have an answer. He doesn't
17:04have an answer because first of all, he's an atheist. So if the problem is to do with God,
17:08if you're an atheist, you're not gonna be able to put it back on the right direction. He's got
17:13various left-wing socialist political ideas, some of which you may agree with, but some of which you
17:19may not. But he's not going to turn us back to God, unless he has a miraculous conversion, in
17:25which case he's soon be booted out from his present position because you can't be a Bible-believing
17:30Christian in that situation without facing huge opposition. But you have to say that this present
17:36government, as is most of Parliament, is mostly anti-Christian, mostly godless, mostly favouring
17:42what we call the woke agenda, with a large majority in place with which it can take over
17:49our institutions. Now I'm getting a bit political here, but during the years of the Tory rule, the
17:56institution of this country have been taken over by what I call left-wing woke establishment, ruled
18:03by the diversity and multicultural agenda that is fundamentally anti-Christian. That's what's
18:08destroyed the foundations. Obviously a left-wing woke government is not going to restore those
18:14foundations. It's happened with the BBC, the media, the education system, especially the universities,
18:21civil service, much of the local government, the judiciary, the police, and even much of the
18:27traditional church, and even part of the Conservative Party. So one of the problems actually is that the
18:33Conservative Party itself, which is supposed to conserve what is right, I suppose, in society, has
18:39gone the wrong way. Who brought in the gay marriage law? David Cameron. And you've seen the Tories
18:46actually abandoning so many principles to things which they shouldn't be doing. And it's what's
18:53happened. And even the royalty now. The Queen, God bless her, was a Bible-believing Christian, but
19:00Charles is definitely not. Charles is open to all the alternative agenda and wants to bring it in.
19:05So we have to face it, that it's probably not going to get better. One interesting thing which I think
19:14I have mentioned here before was that when Sir Keir Starmer stood outside 10 Downing Street on the
19:18election day, he said, quote, it is surely clear to everyone that our country needs a bigger reset,
19:25a rediscovery of who we are, because no matter how fierce the storms of history, one of the great
19:29strengths of this nation has always been our ability to navigate away to calmer waters. You've
19:35given us a clear mandate and we will use it to deliver change. There are two words which stand
19:40out in that. That's the word reset and the word change. There are two specifically used buzzwords
19:47which are being applied to our society, not just by people in power, but also by people behind the
19:53ones in power, who want to change it into something called the great reset. If you followed Keir
20:00Starmer around the week after the election, he kept using this word reset. When he went to Northern
20:04Ireland, to Wales, to Scotland, when he went to NATO, he kept using this word, we need a reset of
20:09this country. Was he actually trying to signify something? I've written quite a lot about this in
20:14Light for Last Days, about the activities of an organisation which you may have heard of called
20:18the World Economic Forum. The World Economic Forum is a group which brings together politicians,
20:26economics, education, media, all these kind of guys. They have a big conference at a place called
20:32Davos and their goal is a reset of society. There's a man called Klaus Schwab who's one of the
20:41leader, I think. He wrote a book at the time of the COVID crisis called COVID-19 the Great Reset,
20:46which he called for a reset of global capitalism, some form of effective global governance which
20:52will create a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being. In other words,
20:58this great reset, if you read between the lines, is a updated blueprint for the new world order
21:04and world government. Which leaves the question, was Sir Keir Starmer actually tapping into it?
21:10Is he part of it? Well, we know that he's been to Davos, he's a big fan of it. A few years ago,
21:15I think it was in 2023, he was interviewed by Emily Maitlis on TV, which he said how much he
21:21appreciated the participation in the Davos conference of 2023 and even preferred being
21:27in Davos to being in parliament in Westminster because it's a better place to get things done.
21:31So he saw that as a place where you get things done and he wants to be part of it. He sent Rachel
21:38Reeves to the latest Davos conference and he criticised Rishi Sunak for not going there.
21:44Now, interestingly, our next speaker, Graeme Bridger, is an expert on this subject and I
21:50just read his latest email which, quote, authoritarianism dead ahead. The transition
21:56to stakeholder capitalism is a very advanced stage. Every citizen needs to wake up and to
22:01the objectives of Klaus Schwab's Great Reset agenda, see what it means for you. Okay, so I
22:07guess he'll be saying something about that next week. So if you want to know how it ties in, do
22:12so. Now, how can I explain this? It's part of a liberal progressive worldview which applies not
22:22just to politics but also to public morality. Very much pro-LGBT and diversity issues because
22:28it wants to break down traditional Christian values and replace them with something quite
22:32different. It's anti-nationalism, so it doesn't like people who are patriotic or nationalist and
22:39like their country. He wants people to be into a globalist idea that we're all together and we're
22:43all one and we don't need to have countries, we actually need to have, in the end, a one-world
22:47government without nations. So anybody who's fiercely patriotic and wants to do good for
22:52the Great Britain and so on, or for France or for Germany, is out of order. But generally, if they
23:00do that, they're regarded as far-right, which is the latest insult for anybody who goes against the
23:06agenda of the New World Order. And as you see, Keir Starmer has been using this accusation of people
23:12being far-right, particularly after the terrible riots which took place recently, after the
23:17Southport's terrible stabbing in Southport, and the riots which took place in which people who
23:22were far-right went and attacked Muslims and mosques and so on, in acts which were totally
23:28disgraceful and racist and absolutely deplorable. The problem is that there is a other part of the
23:36agenda, which is a far-left agenda, which has its own agenda on this whole subject. Again, how can I
23:45explain this to you without you thinking that I'm being racist, which I'm not. I believe that we
23:49should all be one in Christ Jesus and we should accept people as we are. Now, on August the 7th,
23:57which was the date when they brought all the people together to protest against the far-right,
24:01there was a leaflet which was put out by far-right groups to come together to protest outside
24:06asylum seekers centres, listed about a hundred centres in this country, and several places were
24:13chosen, including Finchley. So as we lived down the road from Finchley, I decided with Barbara to
24:19go along and see what was happening, took a few of our leaflets to give out to the people there,
24:22give out to the far-right and to the other people who were demonstrating. Well, I couldn't give them
24:28out to the far-right because they didn't turn up. There was absolutely zero people there. Couldn't
24:33give it out to the far-left because they spent the whole time chanting, Nazi scum off our streets,
24:38refugees welcome here, etc, etc. So they were just chanting and really not much communication. So I
24:45gave them out to a few bystanders, had one or two conversations, but generally one had to notice that
24:49the far-right didn't turn up. A loud crowd did oppose them, mainly waving banners printed by the
24:57Socialist Workers Party. So what's the Socialist Workers Party? Well, it's a Trotskyite communist
25:03group. Before I became a Christian, I used to be involved in far-left, and we used to go and leave
25:07these guys, and we used to talk to the Socialist Workers and to the Communist Party of Great Britain,
25:11and we noticed that they had an agenda, all of them, that they were actually trying to use the
25:17racial discrimination issue and immigration as a platform to use their program. So they would
25:24try to get on board non-white people, immigrants, and say that we're defending you against those
25:30horrible races, and we're going to make a better society for you. Actually, they just wanted to
25:36use them in their attack on established society. They weren't really interested in the welfare of
25:41the immigrants, they were interested in using it for their Marxist left-wing agenda, which was to
25:47do down everybody who didn't conform to what they wanted it to be. Now, it's interesting that at this
25:57the atmosphere of this meeting I thought was quite hostile, and there were also both far-left and
26:03Muslims coming together against the far-right. There was a leaflet which was put out by a group
26:09called Finchley Against Fascism, which said racists, homophobes, Islamophobes, and Zionists
26:14out of Finchley. Okay, racists out of Finchley, homophobes, who are homophobes? People who don't
26:21agree with homosexuality. Get them out of Finchley. Islamophobes, people who are critical of Islam.
26:29Get them out of Finchley. And Zionists, people who actually support the existence of the state
26:35of Israel. Get them out of Finchley. Okay, so you've got a whole lot of people there who shouldn't
26:40be living in Finchley, and certainly I think I qualify for being three of them. Not that I'm an
26:45Islamophobe, I'm not phobically hatred against Muslims or against homosexuals, but I disagree
26:50with their program, and I will be critical of it, and continue to be so. And they were also
26:58quite aggressive. I mean, at another demonstration apparently there was a man called Ricky Jones who
27:02said, the opposition, they're disgusting Nazi fascists and we need to cut their throats.
27:10Then someone started singing, shouting, free, free Palestine, and everyone joined in. So there's some
27:15connection between slitting the throats of Nazis and supporting the Palestinians against the Israelis.
27:24So you've got this kind of not so nice, not so much peace and love, how nice to say, aggressive
27:31and violent. Now Melanie Phillips, who is a Jewish journalist, very clever lady, she said, this is
27:41the result of years of the growing incendiary twin developments of mass immigration, uncontrolled,
27:45and progressive Islamization, starting with Tony Blair's government, which set out to transform the
27:50country into multicultural society through mass immigration. Multicultural has been not a template
27:55for a tolerant society. Tolerance of other cultures and ethnicities should be given in any society.
28:01Multiculturalism, by contrast, is a doctrine which says all cultures must be deemed to have values
28:06that are no better or no worse than any other. Multiculturalism, therefore, makes it impossible
28:10for a Western society to insist on its own values and to require new arrivals to conform to its
28:16precepts, such as equality for women, freedom of speech, and tolerance of minorities. For years,
28:22some of us have warned that the willful destruction of British and Western culture, the deliberate
28:25concealment of what was happening, and the denigration and harassment of anyone who
28:29objected would not only destroy social cohesion, but risk the violent backlash from neo-Nazis,
28:34thugs, and agitators of various stripes, and the rise of populist politicians, along with
28:38ordinary people who simply had had enough. That's what we're seeing playing out on the streets of
28:43Britain today. And I would agree with that. She also said this will lead to an increasing
28:50crackdown on anyone trying to draw attention to these issues, and will be used by the
28:54Stalmer government as a useful weapon to silence its political foes. Neo-fascists and other thugs
29:01and agitators may be piggybacking on such tensions, but this social disaster now underway
29:05is owned by the West, entitled liberals, whose arrogant disdain for the culture they have so
29:10willfully ruined knows no bounds. I actually agree with most of that. And the crackdown on
29:17the opposition, to label them far right, is to shut them out. It will include Bible-believing
29:22Christians. I'm not saying that we have the same mentality as racists and thugs. Absolutely not.
29:29I'm totally opposed to them. But because of our view that multiculturalism is actually
29:35not the right approach, because we believe that Jesus Christ meant it when he said,
29:38I'm the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me.
29:41And Jesus said, he's made very pacifically a statement that he came to bear witness to the truth.
29:47Everyone is of the truth. Here's my voice. If he's of the truth, then the opposition to Jesus
29:54Christ must be of the non-truth, and we have to affirm Jesus Christ. We can't say that all roads
29:59are leading to the same way, because they're not. Now, authentic Christianity is opposed to racism
30:05and violence against minority groups, but we're also opposed to elements of the anti-racist groups,
30:11especially when allied to the Islamist and far-right agenda.
30:16And actually, they're the people who've got the real power. The far-right groups, they can do
30:20lots of damage, they can make lots of nasty things on the streets, and they can be really horrible
30:25people, and I'm not defending them. But the far-left have got influence in almost all of the
30:31control situations in this country, and they can then impose their will upon us so that we can't
30:36resist them. And we have things which have arisen up now, which see a constant downgrading of our
30:43history, the English history of this country, and the culture of this country, with dogmas being
30:49exposed, especially upon our youth, including the critical race theory and the cancel culture.
30:56And this is actually leading to a kind of Marxist agenda, which wants to change the values of
31:00society and impose on us a new form of totalitarianism, which seeks to control what you
31:05can think and you can believe. And it's coming into every area. Now, I found an extraordinary
31:13article in the Daily Telegraph. Okay, that's a right-wing paper, so you shouldn't read it.
31:19But it says it had information about the way education is becoming indoctrination.
31:26Teachers will be taught to challenge whiteness in lessons, Telegraph can reveal. Guidance has
31:33been created for teacher training courses to ensure future educators are anti-racist and
31:37prepared to implement this in the classroom. Teachers will be instructed about how to disrupt
31:41the centrality of whiteness in schools. How to disrupt the centrality of whiteness in schools.
31:47What does that mean? The term whiteness in critical race theory refers to social attitudes
31:55considered normal by white people. So think about it. You've got to educate people to think that
32:02values which are considered normal by white people are racist and you've got to educate
32:06them against them. Does that sound sensible to you? Documents state that student teachers,
32:13if they happen to be white, should also be helped to develop to project a positive white racial
32:19identity. The process may involve more references to colonialism and racism in lessons and instilling
32:25the understanding of the impact of whiteness. In other words, you've got to apologize for being
32:29white, you've got to apologize for the British Empire, and you've got to apologize for past
32:31racism. What's that part of? It's part of a change in the way of thinking. They're not concerned
32:38about the welfare of blacks and people of other races. They're concerned about changing the agenda
32:44so that we don't think the way we used to. They want people to be ashamed of being white because
32:49of past sins against non-white people. Now, the fact is, one has to say, up until recently,
32:56almost 100% of the populations of these islands were white. It may upset some people to hear this,
33:01but it's true, isn't it? Most of the people in this country are descended from the Celts,
33:07the Saxons, the Vikings, the Normans, different tribes that invaded at different times and often
33:12oppressed and killed each other and then ended up sort of living together and even intermarrying
33:16and lost their identity, apart from the Celts who went to Wales and Cornwall and
33:20preserved their Celtic identity. As a result, the dominant culture for all this time has been
33:26based on white racial identity. Not because of false nations of superiority, but just history
33:32and geography, just how it happened. Now, in the interest of critical race theory, we've got to
33:37erase this. Now, what's also significant is that the dominant culture throughout the last thousand
33:43years has been some form of Christianity. Not always helpful forms of Christianity, but at least
33:48Christianity. So part of the idea, if you're going to change the culture, you've got to change
33:52Christianity and get rid of Christianity. So can you see how this all is not just about
33:57race relations? It's about changing the way people think and it's about changing the agenda
34:01and basically destroying the foundations of society. And it's happening all over the Western
34:07world. It's happening in America. In fact, I found something even worse in America.
34:12You heard of Kamala Harris. She's running for president, along with Tim Waltz, who's her new
34:21deputy. Tim Waltz is proposing for Minnesota schools what is effectively a ban on Christians,
34:31Jews, and believing Muslims from teaching in public schools. Waltz was once a high school
34:36social studies teacher who sponsored a student queer sex club in 1999. Starting next July,
34:44Minnesota agencies controlled by Waltz appointees will require teacher license applicants to affirm
34:49transgenderism and race Marxism. Without a teacher license, individuals cannot work in Minnesota
34:55public schools nor in the private schools that require such licenses. Lesser versions of the
35:00regulations require teachers to affirm students' gender identity and sexual orientation to receive
35:05a teaching license. Not only that, teachers already in teaching have to reaffirm their
35:11license every five years, so they've got to also affirm students' right to choose their gender
35:18and sex and their sexual orientation. And if you criticize it in any way,
35:22then you can't serve as a teacher in the school. And you've got to affirm all the
35:27Marxist race orientation stuff as well. Can you see what that means? That means that actually
35:35the people who are going to do the teaching of the children have to be in line with the state
35:39ideology, which is now anti-Christian, and if you don't conform to it, you're kicked out.
35:45It's pretty much like Soviet Union was. And you can see that we're in great danger in the
35:52Western world of attacking the foundations of society as they should be, which should be based
35:57upon biblical foundations and replacing them with some kind of distorted humanism, Marxism,
36:03and social engineering, which is going to be anti-Christian. And if the foundation is destroyed,
36:09what should the righteous do? And sometimes it means that if you're righteous and you want to
36:14teach... I mean, I used to be a teacher. I don't think I would get into teaching now. I wouldn't
36:19be able to do it because so much is against my principles. But that's what it's coming to.
36:25So you can see that the righteous are going to be pushed out of society and out of taking their part
36:30in social order. Okay, let's just say a little bit about finances. I'm not going to say too much
36:36about it, but it's relevant. One of the things Keir Starmer said, and the Labour are saying,
36:42that they've inherited a 22 billion black hole from the Tories and that they have to fix this
36:48by raising taxes and all kinds of measures which are coming up. And some are saying that they're
36:55doing this just to divert attention from the economic disaster which Labour is about to bring
37:00upon us. Now, the financial problem is not caused totally by mistakes by the previous government.
37:11There are flaws in the system. There are flaws which go back, way back, and were made clear in
37:18the credit crunch in 2008, which resulted in a mass increase in government borrowing.
37:26Government borrowing in this country now stands at 2.3 trillion pounds.
37:31US, it's 32 trillion dollars. Those are massive figures. And the Institute of Financial Services
37:39says that money is not available for more borrowing. So if you want to increase,
37:43if you want to do something about the
37:51problems of the economy, then you're going to have to raise it by taxation.
37:57We also saw that in the last few years, there were major incidents like the COVID crisis,
38:00which cost 400 billion, equivalent of 6,000 per person. The Ukraine war, which has added to the
38:07energy reasons, and the energy crisis. And in those situations, Labour would have done pretty
38:13much the same as the Tories. In fact, they'd have done more, Keir Starmer, the Labour wanted to have
38:17longer times of lockdown than Boris Johnson did. Now, the only alternative for Western economies
38:26is to raise taxes or to lose money on public services. Probably they're going to go for both.
38:32But how is he going to fix it? How's he going to change? How's he going to fix problems?
38:39Probably they're not. The other problem is, of course, that if you look at the basic economy of
38:45this country, and indeed of the West, we used to produce things. What was it that made England,
38:52Great Britain, such a powerful country? The Industrial Revolution, using all the benefits
38:57of the Industrial Revolution to produce things and to export them around the world.
39:00And then to have the British Empire, which produced all the trade and so on. Both of those
39:06things are bad now. So you mustn't talk about the Industrial Revolution as being anything positive
39:11or the British Empire. But basically, people did produce things. Now what's happened? You know,
39:17Keir Starmer talked about it, my father was a toolmaker. He kept going on about that, perhaps
39:21to make his links to the working class, because Labour was supposed to be representing the working
39:27class, because Labour was supposed to be representing the working class, the people who
39:30made things. The miners, the steel workers, the factory workers, the shipbuilders, agricultural
39:37workers. Basically, that class doesn't exist anymore. Mines are closed down, the steel workers
39:43have been sent to China, and they produce it. The textiles are sent to Bangladesh, and they produce
39:49it. So we don't produce things. And if you don't produce things, then basically, you're going to
39:54run out of money, which is part of what's the problem. And, you know, they don't have a real
40:05way to put it right. They're part of the problem. Andrew Neil put an article in the paper recently
40:11saying, Labour is already sowing the seeds of its own destruction. How on earth can indulging
40:15the unions and driving out wealth creators deliver growth? More taxes, indulging the unions,
40:23it will create an economic crisis in the days to come. Okay, now, probably I shouldn't be talking
40:29about economics, but it's going to hit us. And we're going to see also the closing down of North
40:34Sea oil, going for net zero. All these things are going to affect the amount of money we have in
40:41the country, and are going to lead to the increasing problem. Add to this is going to be a likely to be
40:47a global crisis, events beyond their control. We can read about that in the latest edition of
40:51Light for Last Days. There's a crisis brewing in Japan, which may affect the entire world economy.
40:58The BRICS nations, that's Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, working on an alliance,
41:04which is going to aim is actually to break the power of the dollar. If they're successful,
41:10then it could cause the US economy to have a crisis. And there are other events beyond our
41:15control, including the Middle East war, which I spoke about last week. And the possibility that
41:20goes big time, it could affect the transform of gas and oil from the Middle East, and create a
41:25financial crisis as in the Yom Kippur War. All these things around it, add to that Ukraine war,
41:32which is added to a new dimension just recently when Ukraine has gone into the Kursk region,
41:37and is now asking permission to use its missiles to hit into Russia itself and is already doing this.
41:43Russia said that if it does that, then they will see regard this as an extension of NATO's war
41:48against Russia, and will reserve the right to hit back against NATO, which in the worst case
41:53scenario could bring a nuclear response. God forbid that it does, but these things are possible.
42:00I think it probably won't, but it's still possible. And you've got all sorts of other
42:04conflicts taking place, which are threatening the stability of the world, especially in
42:09parts of Africa. How many people know about the conflict in Sudan?
42:14About 8.2 million people have been displaced from their homes. Two million have fled to Chad,
42:26Ethiopia and South Sudan. UN continues to plead for more support as more than 25 million people
42:33need humanitarian assistance, and deteriorating food security risks are triggering the world's
42:39largest hunger crisis. 2.5 million people could starve to death in Darfur and Kordofan alone by
42:46the end of September. There are 600,000 refugees in Chad, 100,000 in Libya. A small number are
42:54crossing into Europe, but there's a potential for millions to flee, creating an insoluble crisis
43:00which nobody in the West cares about. There's Sudan. In fact, that whole region, the Sahel
43:05region, is in some kind of crisis at this present time. Burkina Faso, somewhere down
43:12to the south there, a country where actually we had a missionary who was working in Burkina Faso.
43:20She was working in translation of Bible into one of the minority languages there.
43:28Sadly, she died just a couple of weeks ago, but Laura was working there faithfully.
43:35But right now, this country is in a tremendous state of chaos. As I said last week here,
43:41militants linked to Al-Qaeda claim responsibility for massacring as many as 300 people in Burkina
43:47Faso, what's thought to be the country's worst terrorist attack. This would be the most violent
43:56attack ever carried out by terrorists in this territory. About half of Burkina Faso is now
44:03beyond government control as the country has been over-ravaged by increasing jihadi attacks
44:07encircling the capital. Jihadis linked to Al-Qaeda and Islamic State have killed thousands, displaced
44:14more than 2 million people in the region. They're also fighting right across that region in Mali,
44:19Niger, in northern Nigeria. In fact, right across the whole Sahel region from Somalia
44:26through to the west coast of Africa, you have huge unrest, mainly by Islamic fundamentalists,
44:32leading to violence and death. Also, even Russian forces linked to the Biden group have been involved
44:37in violence in that region. Now, all of these are insoluble problems. No one's got an answer to them.
44:43You've got this growing violence all over the world, and this is just one part of the world.
44:50And we have this openly demonic activity which is taking place, threatening the future of the world.
44:58And it's leading to the time of trouble before the second coming of Jesus.
45:06Okay, I want to now just move on and just refer to something which happened at the Paris Olympics.
45:12Anybody follow the Paris Olympics? You may know that it began with certain satanic images being
45:19portrayed in the opening ceremony, including a blasphemous mockery of the Last Supper.
45:25So, was the closing ceremony much better? Okay, the closing ceremony began with a pentagram
45:33unfolding through the light and a representation of the five continents of the world, which you
45:38can see there, in a metallic design on the ground with a sun symbol in the middle. Then a Luciferian
45:45type figure descended from above, bringing light to the dark world. What followed represented
45:50a transformation of the old world into a new age of Aquarius, or in biblical terms, the coming of
45:55the Antichrist. This is based on an understanding of this by someone called, what's his name, David
46:04Bass. That's right, thank you. Okay, then the second one, it says the nations of the earth
46:10were seen plunging into terrible times as the old world descended into chaos. The earth was then
46:18crying out for a saviour and a great light shone out as a golden figure came to save the earth.
46:24He came through the centre of the pentagram adorned in gold, bringing false
46:29enlightenment. He looked like an extraterrestrial or a demon. He was actually called the golden
46:37voyager coming down from space and the idea was he bringing some kind of new age of enlightenment,
46:43order out of chaos. Then the map of the world lit up and flashed, rippling through the continents,
46:51bringing a new creation, a new genesis. The image of the Greek goddess Nike, which means victory,
46:57arose, symbolising victory of the new messiah over the old world order. As the world arose
47:03from the ashes, the phoenix appeared, the mythical symbol of death and resurrection in paganism.
47:09And then grey alien-like looking figures began to appear.
47:16You can see them here, these rather weird figures, like aliens, they began to appear
47:20and they're working on this wheel, this wheel which is going to actually turn into the
47:27rings of the five rings of the Olympics, but at the moment you see them working on constructing wheels
47:32out of this new order. The next one you see them bowing down to a Luciferian figure who's in
47:39control of them, who's this guy who's come down. He commands them to rebuild the world from the ashes
47:45of the old one and circles like wheels arise out of the ashes of the old world, representing the
47:51five rings of the Olympic symbol. You also see these alien-like figures going round one of the
47:57wheels like hamsters or slaves in a treadmill. Then in the next one we see a singer in the midst
48:07of the wheels who sings the ode to Apollo. So who's Apollo? Apollo is the Greek god of the sun
48:13and there is literally an ode to Apollo which was found in the ancient Delphic oracle
48:21in ancient Greece, which was set to music by a French composer called Fauré
48:26and was sung at this performance. I have to tell you it was quite pagan and quite anti-Christian,
48:33or very anti-Christian. You then see the wheels coming together and they begin to worship the
48:39wheels. There's something in these wheels which they're worshipping, so it's coming all together
48:45and they actually come together in the end in the five rings of the Olympics. So you have,
48:49you know, in the Olympics you have the symbol, the five rings, which represents the five continents
48:54and so now the five continents are coming together in this new world order and then the
49:04at the top of it, when they bring it all together, the next one,
49:10do the next one, yeah, it all comes together with this sort of new age of the anti-Christ symbol.
49:17Okay, just go back to the other one. Okay, and it's interesting that they use the word Apollo
49:25because if you go to Revelation, Apollo, who is the sun god, is also connected to Apollyon
49:31in Revelation chapter 9, which has strong links to this presentation.
49:37It says in Revelation 9, then the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star fallen from heaven
49:42to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit and he opened the bottomless pit
49:47and smoke rose out of the pit like a smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened
49:51because of the smoke of the pit and as they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit,
49:57whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. So it's Apollyon, this
50:03angel who comes out of the abyss and who brings the destruction in the end times. It's all coming
50:10together and this presentation which was produced by the Olympic closing ceremony,
50:21we would say celebrated the new age anti-Christ. Okay, what's the next one?
50:29Okay, go back to that one. So all these things come together as a symbol of the world united
50:35in a false spiritual experience with a Lucifer type figure at the top of it.
50:41And it's all reminiscent of the new world order coming under the anti-Christ.
50:46And I have to say it was a very satanic performance and although it's as though
50:51Satan's openly proclaiming his intentions to humanity and the people are all cheering
50:56and worshipping it, saying how great it is. And it seems to me it's just another sign that we're
51:03living in the end times and the revelation scenario is about to take place, even though
51:08the church for the most part is ignorant of it and doesn't pay attention. Now the details of how
51:15it's going to unfold will happen in the days to come. At some point in this procedure we're going
51:21to see what we call the rapture of the church. If you take the pre-tribulation view as I do,
51:27that's going to happen before the final time of the great tribulation. It could happen actually
51:31at any time so you need to be ready for it by repenting of your sins and believing the gospel
51:35now. If you take the post-tribulation, it's going to happen at the end so you've got to go through
51:39all the time of trouble. But whatever way, you've got to repent and believe the gospel if you're
51:44going to be safe at this time because Jesus is the one who's going to come to sort it all out.
51:49Now going back to the beginning of what I said, because Sakhir Starmer said things
51:53will get worse before they get better. Now they'll only get better when Jesus returns.
51:59It may be a bit depressing for me to tell you this, but until Jesus returns things are going
52:04to go from bad to worse. I don't like to tell you that but that's what the bible says
52:11and it's clearly what's happening. They don't have any power to stop the rot
52:15and most of what they're doing is actually contributing to it.
52:20And I believe actually this new government will probably make things worse on all fronts.
52:25The only way out is to repent of your sins and believe the gospel.
52:28Be ready to meet Jesus and if you do that then you've got a glorious future and a glorious hope.
52:35And if you don't do it, I have to tell you, you will find yourself in the time of the Great
52:40Tribulation. If you do find yourself in the Great Tribulation period, immediately open your bible,
52:47turn to God, ask Jesus into your life and follow him. Even if it means facing martyrdom and death.
52:54Whatever happens, don't take the mark of the beast which is described in Revelation 13 because
52:58if you do that you will lose your salvation and you will go to hell. That's for sure.
53:04Think about that another time. But what it means is that Jesus is coming
53:09and he's the one who can sort it out. He can pair the times before his return to the
53:14birth pangs of a woman in labour. Those birth pangs have begun.
53:21They will come to an end when Jesus returns. Now coming back to Sir Keir Starmer, he said he's
53:25going to talk about repairing the foundations. Well then he could but he can't. He can't because
53:32he's part of the political class which has been destroying the foundations for the last few years
53:39and in my opinion will continue to do so. The only one who can restore the foundations is Jesus the
53:46Messiah. And Jesus gave a very famous story which I'm sure you're all aware of but which we'll close
53:52with in Matthew chapter 7 verse 24 where he says that whoever hears these sayings of mine and does
53:59them I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock and the rain descended the floods
54:04came when the winds blew and beat on that house and it did not fall for it was founded on the rock
54:10but everyone who hears these sayings of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who
54:14built his house on the sand and the rain descended the floods came and the winds blew and beat on
54:18that house and it fell and great was its fall. There are two ways you can go on the way which
54:25leads to life and there'll be few on it but they'll get to life or you can be on the broad road which
54:30leads to destruction and there are many on it. You can build your house on the sand and it'll fall down
54:37or you can build your house on the rock and it'll stand. It's a simple choice. Either way the way
54:43which leads to life is through faith in the Lord Jesus the Messiah. The house which is built on the
54:49sand on the rock the house built on the rock is built on faith in Jesus the Messiah. As Paul said
54:56no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is Jesus Christ. You want to have a
55:02good foundation you want to stand in the days which are coming put your trust in Jesus. If you're not
55:08bothered don't but actually I have to warn you if you don't then you are facing this time of huge
55:14trouble for which there is no answer and which no politician no religious leader no one has any
55:19answer except God himself in the person of Jesus the Messiah. The problem now is too big in the world
55:26they can't fix it no one can fix it only God can through Jesus and he will fix it. So believe in
55:33Jesus be on the winning side. Jesus died for your sins he was buried he rose from the dead he took
55:39the punishment for sin which we all deserve and he ever lived to make intercession for us and he's
55:44coming back this time as king of kings and lord of lords with all power of God at his disposal
55:49to put right the mess which humans have made of this planet and to bring in the good new old order
55:54when Jesus rose from Jerusalem in the time we call the messianic kingdom age or the millennial kingdom
56:01which is a prelude to the eternal state in which we'll be with him forever in the new heavens and
56:04the new earth. So it's really a no-brainer there's only one way you can choose that's to believe in
56:10Jesus unless you're frankly stupid because who would put their trust in a loser who's going to
56:17hell when you can put your trust in the winner who is Jesus he's going to take you to heaven to be
56:22with him forever. So believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. Amen. Let's just
56:28have a word of prayer as we come to the close of the service. Lord we do thank you for your word we
56:35thank you for the hope we have in Jesus we thank you that you are the rock of our salvation we
56:39thank you that if we build our lives on the rock we are secure help us lord to do that to build our
56:44lives on the rock and we do pray that as we see the crumbling foundations of our society that many
56:51people will recognize that our political leaders can't save us our religious leaders can't save us
56:56but only you can and that many people in these last days will repent and believe the gospel put
57:01their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and have eternal life through faith in you we ask this
57:06in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ amen.
