Immediately after the world debt crisis was revealed in September 2008, many of the major Banks and other long-standing established financial institutions in the Western world began to fail. It soon became clear that most financial commentators believed that this crisis was THE worst financial event in history and one that was likely to have economic and social consequences far beyond anything anyone could imagine.

As a fully independent authorised UK financial adviser and company director of my own business, I was just at the point of retirement, having spent my whole career in Retail Banking and the Financial Services Industry. I had over 300 personal clients at the time who were not only shattered by the magnitude of this event but who expected me to have all the answers as to why it happened in the first place and what they should do during the panic that followed.

00:00I feel honored. I've seen lots of Tony preaching and others here on YouTube. You've got a YouTube
00:07success, I think. Lots of people around the country and the world see you. My website is,
00:16I'm responsible for my website, which is Illusion to Reality. I also have a Substack article and an
00:25Odyssey video channel of the same name. They're all concerned with discerning the signs of the
00:31times. And I'm very conscious that here, you're very much aware of the signs of the times, I think.
00:41Is that right? Oh, good. Let me start if I can. It's just if this works. Oh, yes. Oh, good.
00:50Excellent. We're going to just read 1 Peter 3, 8 to 16 to start with. If you've got a Bible,
00:58you can look it up. I'm going to go ahead and read it. To sum up, all of you be harmonious,
01:04sympathetic, brotherly, kind-hearted and humble in spirit. Not returning evil for evil or insult
01:13for insult, but giving a blessing instead. For you were called for the very purpose that you
01:19might be, that you might inherit a blessing. For the one who desires life, to love and to see good
01:26days, must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. He must turn away from evil
01:34and do good. He must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are towards the righteous.
01:41His ears attend to their prayers, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. Who is
01:49there to harm you if you prove zealous? I've just realized I've got another. I haven't kept up with
01:58it. Sorry about that. Who is there? Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?
02:07But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear
02:13their intimidation and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts,
02:18always being prepared, always being ready to make a defense to anyone who asks you to give
02:27an account for the hope that you have, yet with gentleness and reverence. And keep a good conscience
02:34so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile you, your good behavior in Christ
02:40will be put to shame. For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what
02:47is right rather than doing what is wrong. For Christ also died for sins once and for all,
02:54just for the unjust, so that he might bring us to God. Having been put to death in the flesh,
03:01he may be made alive in the Spirit. Father, we just want to acknowledge you tonight, Lord. We
03:08thank you that you are present here with us. And Lord, I just thank you for this fellowship,
03:13which has been so dedicated to your word over the years. And Lord, I just pray that you'll
03:21bless what is heard tonight. And you just take out of people's minds anything that is not what
03:27you want to be heard. For I ask that in Jesus' name. Amen. May I say, first of all, at this
03:37moment, I believe that it would take greater faith to believe this time that we're going
03:43through is simply a moment in history that may pass, with all things returning to normal,
03:50than to think that we are approaching the final days before Jesus returns. I followed Tony,
03:58as I say, for, I've heard his speaking now for several years. And I read his book, Countdown
04:06to Calamity, or Hope for the Future, in 2010. And it stuck with me. In fact, I included it a
04:13little bit in the book that I wrote in, when did I write it? 2018? Yes, somewhere down there. Which
04:23covers the events as they were. He was covering the events as they were then, but in the light
04:27of knowing his knowledge of biblical prophecy. And I have to say that it would be challenging
04:34to try and improve upon what Tony said. Therefore, I'm not going to try to do so. But if you haven't
04:41read his book, I would encourage you to do so. It's probably getting a bit long in the tooth
04:46now for many who haven't seen it. But it's well worth reading. And it's remarkably accurate when
04:52you actually consider what he said then. Tony's been preaching from the scriptures ever since,
04:58to prepare his people, you, unlike the leaders of most churches in this country. It would be fair
05:05to say that congregations under his leadership should have benefited more than most, because
05:11they will have learned about biblical prophecy and Jesus coming again. I too have been involved
05:20with speaking about Jesus, returned for over 27 years now. But in the context of needing to
05:26understand the signs of the times, which I've been researching probably for about the last 15
05:33years, the knowledge I gained and have gained concerning biblical prophecy, combined with the
05:39signs I see happening throughout the world, tells me that we're drawing much closer to the second
05:44coming of Jesus. But we're also coming into much darker days. And we need to be prepared. I know
05:53Tony speaks about being prepared very often. The most important thing that people need to grasp
06:00is that Jesus is not returning as the suffering servant, but as King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
06:07and in mighty splendor and glory together with all his saints. The scriptures tell us that he's
06:14coming to rule the planet, and with righteousness and justice for a thousand years. We've heard
06:22tonight of the hope. It came out in two songs. We've heard somebody pray about the Millennium.
06:28And very few churches hear about the Millennium. Many people ask me why I speak so passionately
06:35about Jesus' return. Well, nearly 35 years ago, my wife Sue and I became Christians on the same day,
06:43while in two different places in the world, with absolutely no biblical understanding or
06:50ever having discussed Christianity. Neither of us had ever owned a Bible. And I had a sort of,
06:56well I say a Damascus Road experience. It wasn't really on par with the Damascus Road experience,
07:02but I call it that. And shortly after that, Sue had a vivid dream of the second coming of Jesus
07:08to the earth. The dream's details left a mark on both of us for the rest of our lives. At that
07:16stage, we didn't know anything about the Bible, what it said about Jesus, his return, or biblical
07:24prophecies. Neither of us had ever forgotten this experience, though. And I've written more about it
07:30in a book that I published in 2018 called, I think I'm going ahead of myself here. Yes, I am. I'm
07:39always doing this. It's called, Converging Signs and Rejection of Truth. Are We Ready for the
07:46Return of Jesus Christ? Needless to say, it changed our lives and set us on a pathway that's led us to
07:53where we are here, 35 years later. But I think it would be accurate to say that this dream, plus the
08:01next 35 years experience in church life, has been instrumental in preparing me for this precise
08:07moment in time. But this evening, I'm not here to talk about my experiences or to preach on the
08:14second coming because Tony amply fills that bill. Instead, I'd like to speak about where I believe
08:21the signs of the times point to at this particular moment in time. And where, according to Scripture,
08:27we're likely to be headed in the not-too-distant future. Because it's clear that we are moving
08:35into great darkness, just as Jesus said we would. And we of all people need to be prepared as children
08:43of light. That's why I've entitled my talk, with the same name I gave my website, Illusion to
08:53Reality. I'm not going to go on a lot about that, but the illusion is basically, I believe we've
09:00lived in the illusion for many, many years. And we're now coming into reality, which many of us
09:05are struggling with in understanding. I wonder how many of you remember the 1990s film called
09:12The Matrix? Let me see how many hands remember. Oh, that's pretty good. Well done. Not many, not
09:21many people remember it. Looking back, this film revealed more profound truths about the reality
09:28of life that were too deep, I think, for people to grasp at the time. Now, however, it resonates
09:36with many more people, especially when the concept is used to explain the choices people have to make
09:44in life and the cost of facing reality. At the beginning of the film, you'll remember the star
09:53Keanu Reeves, he was offered two pills, and he was told the red pill will thrust him into the world
10:00of reality, from which there's no going back. But if he took the blue pill, he was told he could wake
10:07up in bed the following day, and life would appear exactly as it had been the day before. He selected
10:13the red pill, and the story started. And then he began to experience the reality of an existence
10:20that was nothing like the world he thought he knew. This expression, red-pilled, is often used
10:28to demonstrate how people need to wake up to the reality of life as it is, and not as they wish it
10:34to be. Has anybody here been red-pilled lately? Just a few, that's good. The man behind all that
10:43is G. Edward Griffin, and he wrote a book called The Creature of Jekyll Island, and it was a very
10:54detailed book explaining how the current world debt monetary system works, and how it came about.
11:01He's aged 93 now, and amazingly he's still going. He's still trying to educate as many people as
11:09possible about money, having created what he calls the Red Pill Expo. And that's G. Edward now.
11:16That's what he looks like at 93, so he's doing pretty good, I think. I've actually seen him stand
11:22up, and he looks even better, so it's quite amazing. Anyway, the Red Pill conference that
11:28he has every year attracts many people about the trajectory he sees in creating, or what's
11:35being created, a one-world money system. And I believe that many people, especially Christians,
11:42they do need to be red-pilled today to fully realize the sheer size of the evil that is
11:49building up around our world today. When you realize the depth of the evil taking place,
11:54which is hard to believe, I believe that you can relate more easily to others in their state of
12:01hopelessness and help them to seek the Lord God, the only one who has the power to deal with what's
12:07happening in their world. In this way you become Christians seeking to find out what he would have
12:13us do, and every one of us can do something. I've heard people say, well what can you do about it?
12:19Well you can all do something, and it's a question of waiting on the Lord to find out what that is.
12:25It was a privilege actually recently to be with Andrew Bridgen. Have many of you heard of him?
12:32Oh yes, good. See this is such a well-informed congregation. Yes, I was with him for a short
12:41while in Parliament recently where he held a meeting with many others, primarily for scientists
12:48and doctors who'd since become household, many of them have since become household names because of
12:54their brave stance against principalities, powers, and authorities during the COVID experience, and
13:01he stood against them. And I heard firsthand, which was amazing, how many of these doctors
13:10and scientists have come to faith in Christ because of it. The academic research enabled
13:16them to see the unprecedented evil taking place worldwide, and many of it, many of them were
13:22affected by it. Many could only put this down to a spiritual force and the need for a God or
13:28infinite power to deal with this evil. The realization to others that Jesus is actually
13:34the one who will deal with it turned many of them to Christians. Hallelujah. I believe that the time
13:42is short before God acts in accordance with the remaining prophetic scriptures, and before he
13:48returns to bring justice and judgment over the earth. As his followers in these last days, our
13:54prime function now is to proclaim the truth of the gospel so that others may find life. And you
14:01have a congregation, a certain example there, because I hear Tony saying about how you're out
14:06on the streets and you're doing many things in that respect. However, this can only be done by
14:14Christians who have been keeping watch as Jesus commanded, who understand where we are now with
14:22what's happening in the world. You may not understand it all, but you understand a lot,
14:26and who know and understand what the Bible teaches, which is far more important. I must
14:35confess that we've all probably been living in a kind of illusion for decades. We've become used
14:41to the world that operates within specific guidelines. I call them systems. We're living
14:48within systems. And from an early age, we're trained to follow these guidelines. We're taught
14:54to think that if anyone operates outside the guidelines, they're either purposely being
14:59rebellious or they're just plain awkward. Unless we've been educated to ask questions, think for
15:07ourselves, and become curious about everything in life, taking nothing for granted, we will
15:15doubtless continue to live within these same guidelines or rules of life. It's therefore
15:21questionable whether such people will recognize the devil's strategy as we enter into the last
15:28days before the Antichrist arises, as described in the book of 2 Thessalonians. But what happens
15:35when you exercise genuine curiosity and you ask more awkward questions or accept the status quo
15:43or don't accept the status quo as expected? I think we've got the evidence of what happens,
15:49staring us in the face. Highly professional people from various walks of life have been
15:55cancelled, censored, and closed down. Many have lost their livelihoods and their careers, but it's
16:02been encouraging to note how many have pressed on regardless of the consequences, and it has
16:08resulted in loss of jobs, careers, and former positions, high positions of recognition. Unless
16:15you see the truth about the level of deception occurring, recognize what Jesus commanded us
16:21to be like, and stand firm in the faith, I fear that we would be unlikely to call the evil one
16:29out or see him nearby. But if you do, you're likely to be hated for doing so, just as Jesus
16:36told us. But if you stand firm, knowing that Christ is with you, come what may, you're more
16:45likely to recognize what God commands. I think again I've gone ahead of myself in the slides. No,
16:52I'm alright. Says in, that's Matthew 10, yes, Matthew 10 28, do not be afraid of those who
16:59kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who could destroy both soul
17:06and body in hell. I think that's a scripture that's not read very often. Over the last four
17:15years, we've tried to live during a time when millions of people should have been asking dozens
17:20of awkward questions about the COVID-19 affair. Questions to the government, the pharmaceutical
17:26industry, the media, and more. So the question is, why didn't that happen? Perhaps the draconian
17:33rules and the regulations frightened us. Maybe we were scared of being set apart from our family
17:38and our friends and neighbors, or seem to be taking a different path. Perhaps the draconian,
17:45unconstitutional government rules that saw people lose their jobs in their thousands
17:51had the desired effect. But we must remember how these positions of authority all over the Western
17:59world became tyrants in many ways towards the people that they were in power to serve in
18:05government. I've uploaded many videos from my research files to my Odyssey channel over the
18:12last four years, where you can actually see what's happened and how many people in power
18:17behaved. You can actually watch the police and watch others behaving towards others and the
18:25things that they said, which are absolutely unbelievable now. These pictures make you weep,
18:32as you see the actions of people supposedly serving the people. It's hard to believe politicians,
18:39police and others could get away with it, but they did. People seem to have short memories
18:45about, or somehow able to put their memory to a state of hibernation, as they're so anxious to
18:53get back to their normal life. And what is normal? Yes, the world has undoubtedly experienced trauma,
19:00unlike anything it's ever known before, during what became known as the COVID-19 crisis. But
19:07so many people have just gone back to their way of life, or they've tried to go back to their way
19:11of life, and have ignored what happened. Yet the truth is that millions of people went along with
19:19what the government and the media told them. They went ahead, for numerous reasons, to take medical
19:24interventions against all known human conduct, codes of conduct. They intentionally persecuted
19:31one another, and gave one another up. Now we see Jesus speaking about that in the scriptures,
19:37but we actually did experience it. And we ought to remember that. Let's just read Matthew 24.
19:46Jesus answered, watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming I'm
19:54the Messiah, and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it
20:00that you're not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise
20:06against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places,
20:11and all of these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted,
20:19and put to death. And you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time,
20:27many will turn away from the faith, and betray and hate one another. And many false prophets
20:34will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most
20:39will grow cold. But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the
20:48kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations. And then the end will
20:54come. But so many people were obedient to the authoritarian powers that be. And the facts now
21:02available for all to see how many fell into a trap. Even knowing it inside, many people still
21:10try to avoid admitting it. I can understand that I'm not blaming people, but the reality is they
21:16do try to avoid it. The consequences have been nothing short of horrendous for millions of
21:22people suffering from serious adverse effects and thousands of deaths as a result of the coerced
21:29medical interventions. Meanwhile, in the mass confusion that has prevailed throughout this
21:36time, most people have missed what the elite globalists in power have been doing. They've
21:41been preparing for the final moves that will enable them to control everybody completely.
21:47Tony's been preaching, teaching this fellowship weekly about the signs of the times and biblical
21:54prophecy for years, which should place you as a congregation well ahead of the crowd in knowing
21:59what you need to do to prepare for what is happening in the world today and for what's
22:05coming. Many ask, are we supposed to know? Well, I think the answer to that is most certainly yes,
22:12because Jesus told us clearly to be aware of the signs of the times,
22:18especially as the time of his coming drew closer. Few seem to realize that a course
22:27has been set for humanity, and that is in line with biblical prophecy, which most people,
22:36including so many Christians, seem blissfully unaware of. The pathway is laid clearly in the
22:46book of 2 Thessalonians, where we're told that the man of lawlessness, the Antichrist, will arise
22:52and demand the worship of all people groups, of all people on earth, and that includes every race
22:59and every religion. And the book of Revelation in chapter 13 tells us that what will happen to all
23:07those who refuse to be obedient to the one who would seek to rule over all by insisting on
23:14everybody receiving a mark on their right hand or their forehead to demonstrate allegiance to Satan.
23:21Not to do so, we're told, would result in death, and without the mark, no one will be able to buy
23:30and sell. And that means live, because if you can't buy and sell, you can't afford, you can't
23:37live. Or can you? The degree of trauma, combined with the actions being taken by world authorities
23:46like the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and the World Health Authority, as well
23:51as those taken by the World Central Bank, should speak volumes about why there is every reason to
23:58believe that we are now living in the last days before Jesus returns. People are only just realizing
24:05that the 15-minute cities worldwide, digital identity, CBDCs, that's the Central Bank Digital
24:13Currencies, the new World Health Authority regulations, or the WHO, known to many,
24:22seek to bind all nations to a one-world system, which is coming fast into view. The consequences
24:30of artificial intelligence will cause mass unemployment, and they're becoming clear,
24:36as is the concept of the introduction of universal income, apparently to make up for the job
24:43losses designed to take the world into a new era of slavery. So when you hear of universal income,
24:52that's no good thing. That's to make up for all the people that are going to lose their jobs.
24:58Klaus Schwab, who is the founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum, here he's dressed in
25:08his, well it looks like his Masonic gear. It's a picture that's being used these days, but I
25:13couldn't resist putting it up. I've just uploaded a documentary to my Odyssey channel that reveals
25:20much of the truth behind this rise of authoritarian power. It's a must-see to grasp the sheer
25:28magnitude of the powerful forces which are coming against us. The actual documentary is about an
25:34hour and a half. The clip that I've taken from it is a minute and a half. The Chinese model is
25:42certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries. Led by one of the most powerful
25:49people on the planet, G20 governments are discreetly transitioning us to another political
25:56system called stakeholder capitalism. It's a funeral of shareholder capitalism and it's the birth of
26:03stakeholder capitalism. You have shown us the way forward. I'm a former TV producer and now the CEO
26:10of a tech startup who's rejected stakeholder capitalism after discovering what it is. Like
26:16the Chinese state capitalism system, stakeholder capitalism places restrictions on the way we run
26:22our companies by forcing us to put the interests of a group of stakeholders first. Soon, however,
26:28stakeholder capitalism will be mandatory for everyone. We're announcing the UK's intention to
26:35mandate climate disclosures across the economy. In this series, I discover how the stakeholders are
26:41propagating the transition. It's a race against time to keep stakeholder capitalism on track. By
26:47manipulating us to believe shareholder capitalism is making many of us oppressed. Trans rights are
26:54human rights. Reform is not possible. And fear climate change as an existential threat. People
27:07are dying. Families are fleeing their homes. After indoctrinating us to want another system, I learn
27:14how the stakeholders are propagating stakeholder capitalism as being better for people and planet.
27:20This is the best time for leaders to come together for the world to become more inclusive, more
27:28sustainable. And how this strategy was successful for shifting China to communism. What's going on
27:35in our school and in our country is really a replay of the cultural revolution in China. The
27:42similarities are terrifying. In this series, we will end up with many more unemployed. I expose
27:50the stakeholders plan to accelerate the speed in which AI takes our jobs. About 50% of people in
27:57the world will be affected, leaving us dependent on them and vulnerable to tyranny. A new useless
28:06class. People who are useless of the economic and political system. And unless we act now, I learn
28:14how oppressed we become under stakeholder capitalism. This means turfing people off their farms. CBDCs
28:23would give officials a powerful tool of control and manipulation. Banks can now freeze their
28:29personal accounts. This technology can turn our communities literally into digital concentration
28:35camps. Some people are yelling out we're starving. Join me as I investigate the great reset transition
28:45to stakeholder capitalism. I must confess that when I when I saw the video of the Chinese blocks,
29:01you know, which is truly at a turning point. Sorry, we do not yet know. Beg your pardon. It's a repeat.
29:12I think. Yeah, I saw the Chinese being locked into their apartments, their high rise blocks,
29:20for a long time. And when I saw them leaning out of their blocks, you know, and just the windows
29:29and everywhere, screaming we're starving. And they were being told there's nothing you can do.
29:34Don't even leave your apartment. Just gives you some idea of what oppression can be really like.
29:40The Chinese model is certainly very applied. It's very big. When Klaus Schwab and King Charles made
29:49their 2020 statements, which began to be repeated by all leaders of nations and world authorities,
29:56including the United Nations, it should have been painfully obvious to most of us what was going on
30:02to bring about a one world governance system. But when these same people began to parrot the same
30:11message, build back better, how much more did we need? Because nearly every government leader in
30:21the West stated those words, including Biden, when he said it's his new idea of build back better,
30:29as if it was. It was then it became apparent that all governments were working in unison
30:38towards a common objective. The climate change narrative was being used to scare people into
30:43submission to a one world system. After all, we are seriously, are we seriously saying that the
30:50world was so out of control, that humans could destroy the planet? Are we as Bible believing
30:57Christians seriously saying that our God has let the world get out of his power and control and he
31:04needed man's help to get it back on track? It seems that that is what a lot of people believe. As I've
31:12already stated, I think at this moment in time, it would take greater faith to believe the time is
31:17simply a moment in history that will pass and all things sort of return to normal than it would to
31:24really understand that we are approaching the final days before Jesus returns. The penny should
31:32have been dropping because it was clear to see the sheer extent of evil developing and it was
31:37like no other. Over the past four years, the lives of thousands, if not millions, of people have
31:44been seriously damaged and disrupted and the number of sicknesses and deaths caused by never before
31:50used medical emergency use interventions vastly outnumber anything that might have been attributed
31:59to so-called disease. But despite the warnings from prominent people, the government and its
32:05various agencies march on, ignoring everyone trying to discuss the facts. They're clear about
32:11their objectives and therefore then there's no turning back. By now, at last, we should all
32:18realize that the so-called health scare is nothing to do with health. It's all about authoritarianism.
32:26George Orwell and Aldous Huxley wrote very famous books, George Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New
32:39World. Many thought they were pure fiction and described a world of the future which humanity
32:46was treated as slaves and rich, powerful masters as not really possible. But lo and behold, such
32:54things are indeed appearing. People should revisit what many believe to be the most two prophetic
33:00books that have been written from a secular point of view. But more importantly, people should read
33:06what the Bible has to say about such times because it is all in the Word of God. The fact that so
33:14many born-again Christians seem unaware is alarming because of all people we are supposed
33:19to be those who should be understanding that the world is not a place of sweetness and light where
33:26goodness and love naturally prevail. As it says in the Bible, in the book of 1 John chapter 519,
33:36Satan is the ruler of the world and it says we know that we're children of God and the whole
33:44world is under the control of the evil one. So why would it surprise us just how much evil we're
33:51now seeing materialize? But we're also knowing that God is sovereign over all and just as Jesus'
33:59resurrection defeated Satan on his first coming, he will be defeated again on his second coming.
34:05Although he doesn't know it yet, Satan is doing everything he can to direct the world along the
34:11pathway fully described in the prophetic scriptures and all-powerful God is allowing
34:18this course of events to unfold. The levels of deception and censorship as well as the death
34:25and destruction of economies taking place across the Western economies particularly,
34:30they've created such confusion and deception and hurt and despair. The hardest fact to grasp is
34:39that such a thing could have been done purposely. But like it or not, the facts emerging from
34:47numerous global sources demonstrate that this is indeed the case because the intention is first to
34:54destroy economies to enable them to rise again in the new world forum system. Research shows
35:02that globalists plan to prepare for the new envisaged societies and economies to emerge
35:08in due course but keep the public at odds with themselves, which they've managed to do. However,
35:15this reality is pretty distasteful for most people to contemplate and so most people tend
35:22not to want to engage with the thought and it's deemed a conspiracy theory anyway. The idea,
35:29therefore, is just to keep things under wraps in the hope that it will disappear out of sight,
35:36out of mind. This allows the globalists to continue on their pathway with the minimum
35:42amount of opposition. To even think that such trauma could have been done on purpose under
35:48government control is generally incomprehensible to a population that has been led to believe it
35:55exists for the people's protection and well-being. But we must accept it because the evidence clearly
36:01shows that we have been lulled, many would say brainwashed, into believing that governments act
36:07on behalf of their people and for their benefit rather than to use this power to further their
36:14idea and rather what they want to do is use that power to further their own ideologies and purposes.
36:20For individuals to think otherwise, I have to say, reveals a need to understand history and
36:26political realities more. Of the dozens of books that I've studied over the last five years,
36:34this main one I want to refer to tonight particularly is by Dr. David Hughes and the
36:42book is called COVID-19, Psychological Operations and the War for Technocracy. For those who may
36:50never have heard of him, David Hughes is a senior lecturer in international relations at the
36:55University of Lincoln. He received his undergraduate and master's degree from Oxford University and
37:01his doctorate in German studies at Duke University and international relations studies at Brookes
37:08University. His research focuses on psychological warfare, 9-11, COVID-19, the deep state,
37:17technocracy, global class relations and resurgent totalitarianism. A bit of a mouthful. One of the
37:26recommendations from his book comes from a person called Kees van der Beeg. He's the author of a
37:32book called States of Emergency, Keeping the Global Population in Check. He writes,
37:40David Hughes was one of the few academics who questioned the mainstream narrative following
37:50the attacks triggered by the war on terror. That gave him a crucial understanding and advantage
37:55when the COVID emergency was declared. In his provocative study, he explores how governments
38:02have declared war on their populations to achieve a transformation into a technocratic dictatorship.
38:09The combination of techniques used with the psychological techniques developed over many
38:15decades makes this a particularly grave danger, which requires careful dissection to be understood
38:22and resisted. I have to say, if I had to choose one book from all that I've purchased and read
38:32over the last five years, which is a great many, as crucial as they are to helping people realise
38:37what's been going on, David's book I think would be the main book. The reason is because he's the
38:45only academic writer and British academic in this country that's actually speaking on this. He's not
38:54only grasped the breadth and the depth of this complex world conspiracy, trying to bring about
38:59a one world government system and a slavery state that looms before us all, but he's been able to
39:06write about it in a way that most people can understand. His hundreds of references will enable
39:12everyone to check his research and that he strongly recommends. Another book I would recommend,
39:24probably you get to read, is called A State of Fear, written by Laura Doddsworth. It's become
39:31very well known amongst certain circles how the UK government weaponised fear during the UK,
39:38during the COVID-19 pandemic. It covers all of the most disturbing truths of the day. I needn't
39:46reiterate how serious these days are as the world passes through this most troubling of times. The
39:53rejection of truth, perhaps the most noticeable thing that's happening in the world today. The
39:59Apostle Paul wrote about this in the Bible in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 when he said a time was
40:05coming when God would send a powerful delusion. It says for this reason God sends them a powerful
40:15delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed
40:22the truth but have delighted in wickedness. Many people ask why a loving God would do such a thing.
40:31He provided the answer in the preceding verse. They perish because they have refused to love
40:39the truth and so be saved. And that is true. They've got two choices. They either believe
40:47the truth or they believe the lie. I have to say people seem inherently unable to face reality
40:53because it's too painful and often too costly. The announcement of the Great Reset was a warning
41:01that everyone we knew about, everything we knew about the planet systems was about to change. The
41:07monumental decision supposedly about saving the planet from the catastrophe of the so-called
41:14climate change was glossed over by most people and purposely withheld by the media. And don't
41:22forget the media is owned and controlled by the very same globalists who own the power sources.
41:27Little do people realize that the events that have taken place since 2020 announcement demonstrate
41:36the outworking of this Great Reset. I'm just going to give you three examples. The renewal
41:47of the entire monetary system is about to happen. It's nearing completion with the introduction of
41:54central bank digital currencies, CBDCs as they've become known, which will allow for the tracking of
42:02all humans on earth as well as control over all their spending just like the Chinese social credit
42:09system. The revamping of our health systems with the WHO, World Health Authority, new regulations,
42:20it's fully accepted, sorry, once they become fully accepted, provides them with total control of the
42:28nation's health decisions and a totalitarian world state. The considerable changes taking
42:36place in the health service will ensure that the NHS operates in line with mega pharmaceutical
42:43industry rules currently gearing up to make trillions of dollars, pounds, whatever with
42:51the mRNA vaccines destined to become standard medical procedures that will supposedly ensure
42:58that people receive advanced warning of potential health problems and thereby keep the NHS free
43:05from clutter while further damaging the nation's health. I would suggest that more research is
43:12required if you choose to believe this and it is true. I saw a hub recently emerging in not too
43:22distant from my home which is called the NHS new hub and it's destined to be the place that everybody
43:28will go. They won't be going to their doctors, they'll be going to this new hub and they'll be
43:33getting whatever treatments and things they need but primarily will be the mRNA vaccines. I keep
43:44getting that mixed up with the MHRA which is the body in this country that's supposed to protect
43:49us which is 80% owned by the pharmaceutical industry just for your knowledge. The introduction
43:56of digital IDs will prevent people from traveling freely and 15-minute cities will ensure that
44:03people are kept within a limited area. That's the proposal and it's worldwide. Little do people
44:11realize that all this and more is creating a total surveillance system when no one will be
44:17free anymore to step outside the authoritarian structure being formed before our eyes. Despite
44:24the desperation and suffering of millions of people the march towards a totalitarian state
44:29draws ever closer. Ironically it wasn't long ago that some politicians and media people trying to
44:37appease the public suggested that everyone admittedly hurt by what's gone on should let
44:45bygones be bygones, forgive and forget. The concept of forgive and forget is a good one, it's a biblical
44:53one provided people remember that they need forgiveness to come out of total understanding
44:59and acceptance of the truth of the Christian message. Anything else is one of the most
45:04dangerous things we could do. Why do I say that? Without a memory of what caused millions of people
45:12across the globe such pain and anguish and still is, I don't believe that forgiveness would mean
45:18much. A lack of awareness of the effect of suffering would make Christians in my view
45:23very superficial and incapable of offering hope to people for the future of the gospel based on
45:31Jesus teachings and example. And so as I draw to a close you sang two hymns tonight which had the
45:40hope that you have. What is your hope for the future? In Matthew 7 chapter Matthew 7 13 Jesus
45:51taught his disciples the story of the wide and the narrow gate. This story influenced the theme
45:58of Pilgrim's Progress regarded as the second most read book in the world after the Bible which was
46:04all about keeping to the narrow road and not being persuaded to veer off or shortcut. For wide is the
46:15gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it but small
46:21is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and few will find it. That statement alone
46:30should be a severe reminder not to become complacent about our gift of salvation. It says
46:37few will find it. I don't know what that means in terms of numbers but that's a horrifying thought.
46:44So to conclude the world's been living in a kind of illusion for many decades if not longer but
46:52is now coming into the world of reality. The illusion has been created by those whose objectives
46:58have no place for the God of the Bible. They may well include other gods and other religions but
47:05not God Almighty the maker of heaven and earth. Most people have little idea that they live in
47:11a world of propaganda and deception. Edward Bernays who was Sigmund Freud's nephew wrote
47:20the famous book Propaganda. It's an essential reading for all those who want to understand
47:27how easily populations can be misdirected and moved into mass delusion as they have been.
47:34Knowledge of the truth might bring them back to the narrow path and the small gate. When the
47:43government formed the spy B team, PSYOP team, during the Covid crisis we saw firsthand how
47:50events were designed to unfold to create the shock doctrine of a mass disruption causing
47:57faulty and dangerous advertising, sorry using, psychological warfare, behavior patterns,
48:06lockdowns, isolation, masks and implanting of triggers that would lead to a total mass psychosis
48:14which would event affect the whole population. Does anybody remember there was a poster Don't
48:23Kill Granny plastered in bus stops and various other places for you to see and the term social
48:31distancing as if there is anything that could possibly go together like those two words being
48:37social and distance. For example these were some of the worst slogans to implant fear into people
48:46particularly children but they've since been causing severe mental health problems across
48:52the country and across the Western world. You may be hard to believe that a government might do such
48:58a thing but the facts speak for themselves. However people must wake up to the facts because
49:05they are before them. Decades if not centuries have passed and we're all grown up in what I call
49:12systems that govern or control our daily lives. Most of us have never known anything else or even
49:18questioned these systems. We might never seem to question where the road will take us and so often
49:26we lead our lives taking matters for granted without even questioning or investigating. Like
49:33infants we've become reliant on a parent figure, government, to lead us on long paths that we think
49:42are for our good because we've been told that they're for our good. We believe in democracy
49:48with a two-party system because we've been told and trained to think that it works and that is
49:55only natural choice from the defective philosophies available even though it is a sham. Only now are
50:03people beginning to realize that this false system belief has led to an effective collapse of our
50:09society, our economies and the democracy itself if it ever existed to where we are today. We face
50:18an enormous problem. Globalists have effectively brainwashed the populations of the world into
50:24thinking that climate crisis is so severe that without the world coming together as one it could
50:30lead to the end of humanity. That's we need a one world government system to deal with such
50:37significant crisis in order to save the planet. People have formed views about which they've done
50:44little or no research for themselves. They've merely accepted the words of so-called wise men,
50:50wise scientists, wise financial experts, wise educationists who together with the major world
50:58corporations and governments have created prospective pathways that they say must be
51:05followed if the world is to continue to exist. Klaus Schwab calls this the Great Reset.
51:12That was social distancing. That's Klaus Schwab. He calls this the Great Reset which is the combination
51:26of public-private partnerships and the top 1,000 or so corporations of the world. I mean these are
51:34the big corporations have linked hand-in-hand with governments, royalty and others. It was
51:42Mussolini who interestingly once described that type of partnership as pure fascism. The fact
51:52that Christians as people of truth should have been watching the signs of the times in line with
51:56the prophetic writings in the Bible but the majority of the Western world they've been
52:04taken up with other thoughts, led in directions by those who should have known better but have
52:10not recognized prophecy, the legitimate position of God's Old Testament scriptures or the fact
52:17that Jesus is coming back to rule this earth from Jerusalem. Instead it's wanted to seek
52:24popularity with the culture and the day and in doing so it's lost its way. As we come to the
52:32end of this presentation let's just ponder for a moment on Matthew 24 verses 21 and 22.
52:40For there will then be great distress unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and
52:49never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short no one would survive but for the
52:58sake of the elect those days will be shortened. As people have begun to understand what is
53:04happening across the world many are scratching around now for hope but Christians who understand
53:09the scriptures have been given all the hope that they need for the future and Jesus is our only
53:16hope. Let me just read this one. I keep asking God, I keep asking that God of our Lord Jesus
53:33Christ the Glorious Father may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may
53:40know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may
53:47know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his great and glorious inheritance
53:53in the holy people, in his holy people and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
54:06Let's just pray. Father I just want to thank you once again that you've been with us throughout
54:21this evening as indeed you are with this congregation week after week and Lord that
54:27although these words that I've had to bring they sound pretty doomy and gloomy and from a world's
54:33perspective I think they probably are but Lord we've been given all the hope that we need for
54:39the future and we need to grasp it and we need to be grateful and thank you Lord that you will
54:44provide for us come what may but whatever happens if we put our trust in you and we rely on you we
54:53know Lord that you will come through. There's no question about that. We just need to have the
54:58to believe it and so Lord as we wind up this evening I praise you once again for being here
55:07and I thank you in Jesus name. Amen.
