And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:4-14

00:00Now the situation in the world is one of no peace. I guess you've probably noticed that.
00:08The reason is because we don't follow the Lord and it will not get better.
00:14There are some Christians who believe there's going to be a great revival and as a result of this great
00:18revival
00:19we're going to change the world so that everyone will start believing in Jesus and all the wars and all
00:23the troubles will stop
00:24and everyone will live in peace and safety.
00:27It's a nice idea but it's not going to happen.
00:30I can tell you that's not going to happen because it's in the Bible that there's going to be a
00:34time of great trouble before Jesus returns.
00:37We can believe there will be many people, perhaps multitudes of people who come to faith in Jesus the Messiah
00:43in the last days.
00:44In fact in Revelation chapter 7 it speaks about a great multitude that no one could number.
00:50Of all tongues, tribes, peoples and tongues standing before the throne, before the Lord,
00:55clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hand,
00:59crying out with a loud voice saying,
01:01Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.
01:07And one of the angels answered saying to me,
01:09Who are these arrayed in white robes and where did they come from?
01:13So I said to him, Sir, you know.
01:15And he said, These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation and washed their robes and made
01:18them white in the blood of the Lamb.
01:21So there will be many people saved in the last days, especially in the great tribulation period.
01:25It's going to be a great turning to the Lord.
01:29And there will be a group of people called the tribulation saints who are going to stand against the Antichrist
01:34in the last day period.
01:36Debate about whether they are separate from Christians today.
01:39If the rapture comes before the tribulation, that will be the case.
01:41If it comes afterwards, then they're Christians as they are today.
01:45I'm not going to get into that one at the moment, but the Bible text is very clear that there
01:49is a plan for multitudes of people to be saved in the last days.
01:55But as a result of being saved, it will not stop the disasters from happening which are prophesied
02:00and which are the result of generations of human sin and particularly specific and terrible sins
02:06which are going to take place in the last days of this age as humans rebel against God and do
02:12the opposite of what he wants them to do.
02:14It's going to lead to a period known as the great tribulation which, according to Revelation chapter 6,
02:20kicks off with the four horsemen of the apocalypse riding out.
02:24Revelation 6.
02:26Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures
02:30saying,
02:31with a voice like thunder, come and see.
02:33And I looked, and behold, a white horse.
02:35He who sat on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him.
02:38He went out conquering and to conquer.
02:41When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying,
02:44come and see.
02:45Another horse, fiery red, went out, and it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace
02:49from the earth.
02:50The people should kill one another.
02:52It was given to him a great sword.
02:54When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying,
02:57come and see.
02:58And I looked, and behold, a black horse.
03:00He who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
03:03And I heard the voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying,
03:06a quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius,
03:10and do not harm the oil and the wine.
03:14When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying,
03:17come and see.
03:18So I looked, and behold, a pale horse, and the name of him who sat on it was Death.
03:23And Hades followed with him.
03:25And power was given to them over the fourth of the earth to kill with the sword,
03:29with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
03:35The four horsemen of the apocalypse, are they going to ride out?
03:39Are they ready to ride out?
03:41Well, we don't know the day or the hour when that's going to happen,
03:43but these things are prophesied to take place.
03:47First horseman rides out with a white horse,
03:51has a bow and a crown was given to him.
03:53He went out conquering him to conquer.
03:56Some interpreters say that's Jesus going to conquer with the gospel,
03:59but it's a little difficult with that because Jesus is in heaven revealing these things,
04:02and it appears that this one has actually a different agenda,
04:05and he's followed by war, famine, and death.
04:08So hopefully the gospel is not followed by war, famine, and death.
04:12And my interpretation, actually, this is the Antichrist,
04:15the false messiah coming out, offering a false peace,
04:17given a Stephanos crown, the crown from below,
04:20as he goes out to conquer the nations with a program of peace,
04:25which actually leads to the opposite, to war and conflict.
04:28The second horseman clearly is one who takes peace from the earth
04:32and causes people to kill each other, given a great sword,
04:36so followed by war, followed by the black horse,
04:39which has a pail of scales in its hand,
04:42and a voice saying,
04:43a quart of wheat for a denarius,
04:45three quarts of barley for a denarius,
04:47do not harm the oil and the wine.
04:49Denarius is a day's wages,
04:51so in our terms, a day's wages is probably about,
04:55I don't know, depends how much you earn,
04:57but 60 or 70 pounds.
04:59With that, you just get a very small portion of wheat.
05:03In other words, it's a sign you've got a lot of money,
05:07it costs you a lot of money to get a very small amount of food.
05:10In other words, it's a sign of famine,
05:12followed by mass death,
05:15which appears to be about a quarter of the world's population.
05:18So during this time,
05:21a fourth of the people on the earth are going to die.
05:24If there are 8 billion people on the earth,
05:27that's about 2 billion people.
05:30So, a fairly somber passage,
05:32which speaks about a time of great trouble coming.
05:35And there are many passages in the Hebrew Scriptures
05:37which tell you the same story in Isaiah 24, Daniel 12.
05:41I'll read you one from Jeremiah, chapter 25, verse 30,
05:45where it says,
05:46Therefore, prophesy against them all these words,
05:48and say to them,
05:49The Lord will roar from on high,
05:52he will utter his voice from his holy habitation,
05:54he will roar mightily against his fold,
05:56he will give a shout as those who tread the grapes
05:58against all the inhabitants of the earth.
06:01A noise will come to the ends of the earth,
06:03for the Lord has a controversy with the nations.
06:06He will plead his case with all flesh,
06:08he will give those who are wicked to the sword,
06:10says the Lord.
06:12Thus says the Lord of hosts,
06:13Behold, disaster shall go forth from nation to nation,
06:15and a great whirlwind shall be raised up
06:17from the farthest parts of the earth.
06:20In that day the slain of the Lord
06:21shall be from one end of the earth even to the other.
06:23They shall not be lamented or gathered or buried,
06:26they shall become refuse on the ground.
06:28In a very solemn Scripture,
06:30which speaks about a time of great destruction
06:32coming on the earth,
06:34a time when the Lord has a controversy
06:35with the people of the earth.
06:37The Lord has a controversy with them
06:39because they've rejected him
06:40and they've rejected his word,
06:41they've rejected his salvation.
06:44And as a result,
06:45disaster goes forth from nation to nation
06:47and a great whirlwind is stirred up
06:49from the farthest parts of the earth.
06:54I don't like to be too pessimistic,
06:57but when I look at world events,
06:59and I have to say I study world events
07:01probably more seriously than most people,
07:05and I look at some of the news behind the news,
07:07and if you want me to give you my honest opinion,
07:10the world is on course for these things to take place,
07:15either sooner or later.
07:17I'm not going to give you the time or the date,
07:18but you can see certain things
07:19which have been set in motion
07:20which mean that these things are going to happen.
07:23And they're not going to be delayed too long,
07:24I don't think.
07:25I think we're on the brink of these things taking place.
07:29And you can see the things
07:32which are bringing them about,
07:33but the growth of evil, intolerance, persecutions,
07:37evil men and seducers grow worse and worse,
07:40conflict between races and nations,
07:42between religions,
07:44hatred of God's people,
07:46of the Jews and of the Christians.
07:48We see a great rise of anti-Semitism.
07:51Terrible events which took place in Bondi Beach
07:54the other week,
07:54and when people gunned down a group of Jewish people.
07:58And the Jewish Chronicle reported that
08:00as the Intifada,
08:03globalised the Intifada,
08:04which means they're globalising
08:06the assault upon the Jewish people
08:09all over the world
08:10with a hatred of Israel and the Jewish people,
08:12which is also prophesied in the book of Jeremiah
08:15of the time of Jacob's trouble.
08:16And you can see this coming
08:18with the satanic hatred against Israel
08:20and against the Jewish people.
08:21They say it's because of what Israel's done in Gaza,
08:24but it's not happened even before that.
08:26And it was building up.
08:27And Israel was actually defending itself
08:29from those who did want to kill and maim and destroy
08:31and take away the right of Israel
08:34to exist as a nation.
08:35And we can see that this is going to build up
08:37in the last days
08:39as we see the world going from bad to worse.
08:43And we see, as I've already said,
08:45an increase of persecution of Christians
08:48and of people of God around the world.
08:51Just reading about what's taking place
08:52in China at the moment.
08:53I don't know if you know,
08:54in China you have the official church,
08:57which is basically an arm of the state.
08:59And you have to put the pictures of Mao and Xi Jinping
09:03and basically teach sort of a Christianized version
09:06of communism in the churches.
09:09And you have the unofficial churches,
09:11which are churches like us,
09:13which are outside of the system,
09:14which are preaching the gospel.
09:16And they've been rounding up leaders of unofficial churches,
09:20especially in the build-up to Christmas.
09:22There have been a talk of a lot of Christians being arrested,
09:25churches being closed,
09:26unofficial churches being closed,
09:28and severe persecution of Christians in China.
09:31You have severe persecution of Christians in Iran
09:35and also a hatred against Israel.
09:39And what do you have in both of these nations?
09:41You have the spirit of Antichrist,
09:42either with Islam or with communism.
09:45And you see also those two forces coming together
09:48as sort of globalizing the Intifada against Israel
09:52and also against the Christian church.
09:56And it's interesting,
09:57if you look at the people who want to hate and kill Jews
10:00and kill those who believe in Jesus.
10:05And you can see it's building up.
10:07And we need to be aware that they're going to come to us as well
10:10if we are too vocal in our support for Israel
10:13and our speaking out for Jesus.
10:15And don't be surprised if sometime they come knocking on the door here
10:18and say, you shouldn't be saying these things.
10:20You shouldn't be believing these things,
10:22that these are enemies of the state
10:25and you need to be silenced.
10:29But also you see a spread of war and of trouble.
10:35That's one or two actual situations taking place.
10:37We've got the Ukraine war.
10:40A lot of people talking about ceasefire
10:42and Trump trying to make a peace
10:43and trying to get the Nobel Peace Prize
10:45because he's sold the war,
10:47which he's going to do in one day,
10:48but it took a bit longer than one day
10:49and he still hasn't done it.
10:51And unfortunately the war goes on
10:53and I have to say that in my opinion,
10:55Trump is being outmaneuvered by Putin and his people
10:59who are skilled in how to work the deals, if you like.
11:05And basically Ukraine is in danger of being sacrificed actually to Russia by Trump.
11:14And whatever happens, it's a situation which is not looking good for either side.
11:22And it's also a growing fear about a war with Russia.
11:27I don't know if you've noticed this in the news,
11:28but we've had talk about war with Russia coming.
11:32The NATO chief, a man called Mark Rutter,
11:34who's chief of NATO,
11:36he gave a warning that the world could face its most dangerous situation since World War II,
11:41with Russia and China acting aggressively at the same time.
11:45He stated that China is closely watching developments around Taiwan
11:48and if military action begins there,
11:50Beijing could push Moscow to escalate the conflict in Europe.
11:55Rutter stressed that such coordination between the two countries
11:57would create a global security crisis.
12:00Chinese attack on Taiwan could coincide with Russia stepping up its aggression in Europe,
12:04leaving NATO facing the risk of a two-front war.
12:08I also watched a program which spoke about the Pentagon and NATO broadcasting kind of war games,
12:17in which Russia is building up its forces in Belarus.
12:20I don't know if you know this, you probably don't,
12:22because they don't tell you much about this on the news,
12:24but Russia has actually put 360,000 troops into Belarus,
12:28which is the country above Ukraine, next to Poland.
12:32And the question is, what are they there for?
12:34Well, partly because Belarus is in danger of rebelling against Putin and Russia
12:39and he wants to keep them in line.
12:41But also there's an issue about something called the Sewolki Gap,
12:45which is, I did have a map of this, but I haven't put it up,
12:48but it leads up to a place called Kaliningrad, which is on the Baltic,
12:52which separates Poland from the Baltic states.
12:56And that's the only way in which Russia can get its forces into Kaliningrad,
13:00which is a Russian enclave on the Baltic states.
13:04It was hanging over from the Second World War.
13:06That still is part of Russia, but it's separated geographically from Russia.
13:10And the way we can get stuff into is through this gap between Belarus and Kalingrad
13:16called the Sewolki Gap.
13:18They've actually cut off that because part of the sanctions against Russia,
13:22they're making it difficult for Russia to get through to that.
13:24And the fear is that Russia is actually going to move in
13:26to try to gain control of that area.
13:29And in this war game, it showed Russia seizing this strip of land,
13:35cutting off the Baltic states from NATO.
13:38It showed them launching a 72-hour blitz of missiles
13:43onto Polish air bases, defense systems,
13:45and invading from the east to take the position for Russia.
13:50It showed also that Poland is building up its own forces
13:54and also planning for a retaliation,
13:58which could then bring in NATO.
14:01Belarus is also planning to move into Lithuania,
14:06which is the next country.
14:07And if this war game goes through,
14:10it could actually launch a full-scale war between NATO and Russia.
14:17Russia is also engaged in several fronts,
14:20including cyberattacks on Western sources,
14:25cutting communication cables under the sea.
14:29And there's a real...
14:31NATO is saying that there is a danger of this exploding into World War III.
14:36I'm not sure that I totally buy it,
14:38because actually Russia is in a big mess,
14:39which I'm going to tell you about in a moment.
14:41But whatever it is, they're psyching us up
14:43for the possibility of a war taking place,
14:46and they're building up forces.
14:48And obviously they're not joking about this.
14:50It's not the sort of thing you do joke about.
14:52And there are reasons why they are saying this.
14:55Also, at the present time,
14:56Chinese warships are gathering around Taiwan.
14:59Recently they passed through Japan,
15:01and the Chinese naval forces,
15:03including their most advanced destroyers,
15:05recently passed through Japanese waters,
15:08which triggered the Japanese making a sharp response from Beijing
15:12and building up their defences in the islands
15:16to the north of Japan, south of Taiwan.
15:20Currently, according to this report,
15:21there are 19 warships around Taiwan,
15:23among them aircraft carriers carrying out precision strike drills
15:27in rehearsal for potential blockade operations.
15:31If this escalates, Japan and the US could actually join in,
15:35which would bring about a conflict between America and China.
15:39America has its own strategy for controlling the Indo-Pacific region,
15:44and China has its strategy for pushing America out of the region,
15:48and it's working on it.
15:51Port went on to say,
15:52there's a constant stream of weapons systems,
15:54naval patrols, and military exercises destabilizing the region.
15:58It says that if it comes to an all-out war
16:01between America and China over Taiwan,
16:05it would be catastrophic for all of us.
16:09So I'm not trying to scare you,
16:10but these are things which they're talking about.
16:12These are serious reports which you can find
16:15if you look hard enough on the internet.
16:18You also find that Trump is now building up a conflict with Venezuela.
16:23He accused Maduro, who's the leader of Venezuela,
16:27of being illegitimate as a ruler.
16:31He lost an election.
16:32Now he's suppressing the opposition.
16:34He's made it into a corrupt and incompetent country,
16:38which is termed what could be the richest country in South America
16:41because of its oil reserves into a basket case,
16:43which millions have fled from.
16:47Also, it's the base for exporting drugs.
16:50It's allied to Hezbollah and Iran,
16:53allied to terrorist influences,
16:54which Trump is fighting against.
16:58It's also backed by Russia and by China.
17:01And in the last few days,
17:03America has seized oil tankers from Venezuela,
17:07which has been accused of being piracy on the high seas,
17:10including one tanker which is bound for China.
17:14And in cutting off the oil exports,
17:16it's cut off Venezuela's lifeline.
17:20Russia is coming to the aid of Venezuela.
17:22I'm not sure whether it's the report said
17:25that they've actually sent warships there
17:26or they're in the process of doing so.
17:29They've also sent advanced missile systems,
17:32which are capable of sinking the US aircraft carrier
17:35in the Caribbean.
17:36If they do that,
17:37then that's another World War III potentially event taking place.
17:41They've set up bases in Venezuela and Cuba
17:44to challenge US dominance.
17:46If anyone were around in 1962,
17:48you may remember the Cuban Missile Crisis
17:50when Russia and America were confronting each other
17:53over weapons on the island of Cuba.
17:56That's actually happening now.
17:58Now, how far it's going to go,
18:00only the Lord knows.
18:03But Russia and China and Iran
18:06are all involved on Venezuela's side,
18:09as is Brazil,
18:10which is one of the BRICS nations,
18:12which is part of another alliance
18:13I'm going to tell you about in a moment.
18:15And Trump is trying to assert his doctrine
18:17of American supremacy
18:19and American control over the Americas,
18:22North and South.
18:25Where this is going remains to be seen,
18:28but at the present time,
18:29it's escalating.
18:31And if it continues,
18:33and if Venezuela actually hits back
18:35and hits one of those American carriers,
18:38then you're going to be in serious trouble
18:40in that period of the world.
18:43I mentioned the BRICS alliance.
18:44Do you know what that is?
18:45It's an alliance of countries,
18:47which is Brazil, Russia, India, China,
18:49and South America.
18:50It's been extended now
18:51to some other countries,
18:53including Ethiopia, Egypt.
18:55Saudi Arabia is on the brink of joining it.
19:00It's an alliance of countries,
19:01which is a kind of trading bloc,
19:04which Russia and China are building up
19:06to confront America as the dominant nation.
19:10Remember, since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991,
19:15the Soviet Union broke up into different parts.
19:17Russia became part of it,
19:20but the leading part of it.
19:21And Russian power was extremely broken
19:24from being the sort of confrontation
19:26between the Soviet Union and communism
19:28and the West.
19:29You now had America as the dominant nation,
19:32a unipolar nation, as they call it.
19:35And Russia has resented that,
19:37and Putin has played on that resentment,
19:39and that's part of his battle over Ukraine.
19:41He wants to keep the Russian empire intact.
19:44He wants to keep Ukraine
19:45in the Russian side of things,
19:47not in the Western side of things.
19:50Now, they have a policy
19:52of confronting American dominance
19:56in the financial area.
19:57Now, I'm not an expert on this.
19:59I think that Mark knows more about this than I do,
20:01but I'm just going to tell you what I know.
20:03You have American financial dominance
20:05in the world,
20:06which comes through the petrodollar system,
20:09and the fact that the US is the world's reserve currency,
20:12and the US has control of the SWIFT system
20:15for exchange of currencies.
20:17All of those things give America
20:18a huge advantage in the economic sphere.
20:23It means that if you want to buy oil,
20:25for example,
20:26a country wants to buy oil from Saudi Arabia,
20:29they have to buy dollars,
20:31and then with their dollars,
20:32they buy the oil.
20:34And these are not small sums,
20:36these are billions of dollars.
20:38It actually gives America a big advantage,
20:40and one of the reasons
20:41why America has had to be able
20:43to keep its very high standard of living,
20:45even though it has a debt
20:46of 38 trillion dollars and rising,
20:50which is an astronomical figure,
20:52is because of this setup.
20:54Now, the BRIC's policy
20:56and Putin's policy
20:56actually is to break this arrangement
20:58so that American dominance will go,
21:01American financial dominance will go,
21:03you won't need to change your dollars
21:05to buy petrol and gas,
21:07and America will no longer be
21:09the world's reserve currency.
21:12If that happens,
21:13it's going to have a huge effect
21:14on the American economy
21:16and also on ours
21:17because they're all linked.
21:19You could have a complete currency breakdown.
21:21The dollar would lose its value,
21:24inflation would spike in America,
21:27and there would be a move
21:29towards a new economic order.
21:32One of the things they want to do
21:33in this new economic order
21:34is set up what they call
21:35central bank digital currencies
21:36as a means to exchange money
21:39and use high-tech means
21:40means of exchange.
21:43Also using cryptocurrencies
21:45and all that kind of stuff
21:46to change the financial order.
21:50This happens then,
21:53it's very difficult to predict
21:55what the end will be,
21:57but the fact is that America
21:58has its $38 trillion debt
22:00which it will no longer
22:01be able to finance.
22:04So it's got to pay back annually
22:06at least $1 trillion
22:07just in paying the interest on it.
22:10If that happens,
22:10the American economy is going to be
22:13I don't use that.
22:16It's going to be smashed, basically.
22:21And if the dollar collapses,
22:22then the global financial system
22:24is going to implode
22:25because 70% of international trade
22:27still runs on dollars.
22:30And money will be shifted
22:31to other currencies,
22:32including cryptocurrencies,
22:34which have basically no intrinsic value
22:36as far as I can see.
22:37And you have basically
22:39a world system
22:41which would be
22:42almost like a house on the sand
22:44as the currency collapses.
22:46You've also got the issue
22:47of what they call derivatives,
22:52which again,
22:52I don't understand totally,
22:54but there are trillions of dollars
22:55lined up in derivatives
22:57which are kind of unsecured loans,
22:59which if the balloon goes up,
23:01then no one will be able to pay them
23:02and it'll again bring a kind of crash
23:04in the financial system.
23:06So these are things
23:07which could happen.
23:08How soon they could happen
23:09depends on other things,
23:11but it could mean that
23:14you see some measure
23:15of financial instability
23:16which could happen at any time.
23:20Now, some prophecy speakers
23:23say that out of this
23:24the Antichrist will arise,
23:26offering some solution
23:27to the world economic crisis
23:29and bring in some kind of a
23:32world control system
23:33with ID cards,
23:34with emergency measures,
23:35with control of the system,
23:37using a new form of banking,
23:39central bank digital currencies,
23:41which will be able to monitor
23:42everything which you receive
23:43and everything which you pay
23:46and will control
23:47the whole financial system,
23:50in which case you could be moving
23:51towards the Revelation 13 666 system.
23:56Now, again,
23:57I'm not going to make a prophecy
23:58about how this is happening.
23:59I'm just saying you
24:00that there are forces at work today
24:02which are moving against
24:04the American unipolar system
24:07coming from Russia,
24:08from China,
24:09from the BRICS nations.
24:11There are also the UNs involved
24:13in trying to bring up
24:14some kind of a new UN kind of currency.
24:17And there are all sorts of things
24:18going on behind the scenes
24:19which personally I don't understand
24:21but I can get the gist of it.
24:25and basically what it means
24:26is that the system
24:28is a house on the sand
24:30and that when the storm comes
24:32you could see a great shaking
24:33taking place
24:34which would affect us all.
24:42Interestingly,
24:42the European Union
24:43is going to move
24:44to central bank digital currencies
24:45I think
24:46and to start removing cash
24:49in the next two or three years.
24:51I also saw a video
24:52which the European Union
24:53was saying
24:54that people should
24:54give 72 hours worth
24:56of emergency supplies
24:59always on hand
25:01if a crisis should hit.
25:03Talking about the possibility
25:04of cyber attacks
25:05taking down the system
25:05and all kinds of things
25:06happening like that.
25:07So I saw this video
25:09which advises people
25:10to get emergency supplies in
25:13at least to take them
25:14through 72 hours
25:15which would be the initial part
25:16of the crisis.
25:18Now whether they could
25:18sort it in 72 hours
25:20is another question
25:21but it was interesting
25:22just backing up
25:24what I'm saying
25:24this is coming not from
25:25you know
25:26a few prophecies
25:27this is coming from
25:28sort of people in government
25:29saying that
25:30they advise you
25:31to do this
25:32to get some food
25:34and water
25:35and torches
25:36and whatever
25:36in so that you're
25:37ready if this should happen.
25:39Now I'm not going to give you
25:40advice on how to
25:42prepping and surviving
25:43and all that kind of stuff
25:43but I'm just saying
25:44that people are talking
25:45seriously about this
25:46taking place.
25:49Okay you also have
25:50the environmental crisis
25:51I mentioned this last week
25:53also prophesied in the Bible
25:54you're going to see
25:55times when the environment
25:56is going to be shaken
25:57it speaks about
26:00waters becoming undrinkable
26:01it speaks about
26:02fish dying in the sea
26:03about
26:04the air being
26:05you can't breathe it.
26:07These things are happening
26:08right now
26:08I spoke last time
26:10I think on the
26:11situation in Iran
26:14last month
26:15they talked about
26:16removing the entire
26:17population of Tehran
26:18which is 13 million people
26:20because they're running
26:20out of water
26:23think about it
26:2313 million people
26:25no water
26:27and
26:28they haven't said
26:29where they're going to go
26:31they've talked about
26:32recreating
26:33an alternative capital
26:34called
26:34a place called
26:35Makran
26:36which is on the coast
26:38now how are they going
26:39to get that
26:40in a moment
26:41because
26:41if you've got no water
26:43you've only got three days
26:44to survive actually
26:45so
26:45you've got to have water
26:47and
26:48I can't see what the answer
26:50is going to be
26:50they haven't got one
26:52even if it rains
26:53because of bad management
26:54of water
26:54they've destroyed the aquifers
26:56under the city
26:57so the aquifers have
26:59shrunk
26:59and there's no water
27:00going into them
27:01the city's actually sinking
27:03by as much as a metre
27:05every three years
27:06which means that
27:06the pipes are breaking
27:07everything underground
27:08is shaking
27:10because of taking
27:11all the water out
27:12from underneath them
27:13the dams have dried up
27:15the rivers have died up
27:15because of bad management
27:16of the water
27:17so even if it rains
27:19it's not going to solve
27:19the problem
27:20because they've actually
27:21destroyed the infrastructure
27:22through very bad management
27:23of the system
27:25what are they going to do
27:26and it's all over Iran
27:27it's not just in Tehran
27:28there's 55 million people
27:30in Iran
27:31the president talked about
27:34evacuating the population
27:35but they can evacuate them too
27:39they can't go east
27:40of Afghanistan
27:40that's even worse
27:41they can't go north
27:43they could go west
27:45if they go west
27:45they go to Turkey
27:47or they go to Iraq
27:50now it so happens
27:51that Turkey
27:51also has its problems
27:52Turkey is facing
27:53its most serious
27:54water crisis
27:54in its history
27:56water levels
27:57have gone to alarming lows
27:59225 was the driest year
28:00with rainfall disappearing
28:02stretching the water systems
28:03the reservoirs
28:04are failing
28:06Istanbul
28:07and the main cities
28:07are having problems
28:08with water
28:10dams are running dry
28:11agriculture has been hit hard
28:12central area
28:13farmland
28:14groundwater
28:14is failing
28:17and
28:18farmers are struggling
28:20three quarters of the lakes
28:21are disappearing
28:23so go to Turkey
28:24it's not going to solve you
28:26Iraq is even worse
28:27Iraq
28:27the river Euphrates
28:29and Tigris
28:29which
28:30have supplied those countries
28:31for generations
28:32for millennia
28:33are drying up
28:36so you've got
28:36a whole region here
28:37where water is
28:38going
28:40you also have a problem
28:41in north of China
28:42apparently
28:42apparently in north of China
28:44there's a
28:45water crisis
28:45they
28:48stack in a lot
28:49from the aquifers
28:49and that's also
28:51collapsing
28:51they've got plenty of water
28:52in the south
28:53they've got too much
28:53in the south
28:54but not enough
28:54in the north
28:55and all over the world
28:56you've got this problem
28:57of water
28:58I spoke last time
28:59about Egypt
29:00and about
29:00the Euphrates
29:02and again
29:03this is a sign
29:03of the last days
29:04it says that
29:05Euphrates
29:05is going to dry up
29:06it says there's going
29:06to be a problem
29:07with the Nile
29:07in the delta area
29:10and you can see
29:10that these things
29:12are prophecies
29:13and what happens
29:14if you can't
29:15live there
29:16people are going
29:17to migrate
29:18and they're talking
29:19in the UN
29:19about the problem
29:20of migration
29:21of mass migration
29:22of people
29:22because of
29:23climate change
29:24because of water
29:25problems
29:26if that happens
29:26then where are they
29:27going to go
29:28going to come to England
29:3055 million people
29:31in Iran
29:33where are they
29:34going to go
29:35I don't know
29:36but you can see
29:37there is a crisis
29:38coming which
29:38no one has
29:39an answer to
29:40and I guess
29:41a lot of people
29:42are going to die
29:45what about Russia
29:46now Russia
29:47hasn't got a problem
29:48of water
29:48it's got a problem
29:49of cold
29:51present time
29:52is the Russian
29:53winter
29:54and traditionally
29:55the Russians
29:55said that the winter
29:56was their defense
29:57when Napoleon
29:58and Hitler
29:58invaded
29:59they couldn't
30:01get through
30:01because of the
30:02Russian winter
30:02but now the Russian
30:04winter is turning
30:04against Russia
30:05itself
30:09as a result
30:09of Ukrainian
30:10attacks on
30:11Russian refineries
30:14and Russian
30:16mismanagement
30:16of their economy
30:17because they've
30:18diverted everything
30:18to the war
30:1940% of the economy
30:21is going to the war
30:22and because of
30:23sanctions
30:23they're not getting
30:24the parts they need
30:25for the infrastructure
30:27a whole lot of
30:28Russian infrastructure
30:29is cracking up
30:31the train lines
30:32at the railway
30:33transport system
30:34is breaking down
30:35and the most
30:36important thing
30:37is that the
30:39heating is breaking
30:40down
30:40now as you know
30:42Russia's temperature
30:42can go down
30:43to minus 50
30:45according to this
30:45report I looked at
30:46there are 142 million
30:48people
30:49facing
30:50freezing
30:50as the cities
30:51go dark
30:53Russia's infrastructure
30:54is a tired legacy
30:55from the Soviet Union
30:56from the Moscow
30:58suburbs to the Ural
30:58there are burst pipes
30:59water gushing
31:00from beneath the roads
31:01streets turn to ice
31:03buildings crack
31:04under freezing conditions
31:05they're not being
31:06repaired because
31:07the workers
31:09are dying in
31:10Ukraine
31:11in Putin's
31:11futile war
31:13billions are needed
31:14to fix the infrastructure
31:15being spent on
31:16missile production
31:18and tanks
31:18and not on
31:19looking after
31:20their own people
31:22spoke about
31:23a particular area
31:23called Yakutia
31:24in Siberia
31:24which goes down
31:25to minus 56 degrees
31:26centigrade
31:28companies cannot pay
31:29coal because
31:30cannot pay for coal
31:31for the fire stations
31:32because the money's gone
31:35the boiler rooms
31:36are sealed
31:36they can't get money
31:37to get coal
31:38they can't heat
31:39their own power system
31:40people are living
31:41in unheated
31:42apartment buildings
31:43they switch on
31:44their electric heaters
31:45which overload the system
31:46and then cause the
31:47transformers to explode
31:49that's happening now
31:51now
31:53the Russians
31:54deny all this
31:55they say it's all fine
31:56and I'm getting this
31:57from other reports
31:59sort of behind the scenes
32:00reports which you get
32:01on the internet
32:03I can't guarantee
32:04that this is true
32:05but I believe it is true
32:06and there are evidence
32:07that it's happening
32:08if it's happening
32:09then
32:10whole
32:12swaves of Russia
32:12are going to face
32:13a huge crisis
32:14which they can't resolve
32:16also because of
32:18and I believe that
32:18global warming
32:19is happening
32:20I'm not sure
32:21that the reasons
32:22are totally true
32:23but because global warming
32:24is happening in Siberia
32:26the permafrost is melting
32:29and the permafrost melts
32:31they built the houses
32:32and all the infrastructure
32:33on the permafrost
32:34the permafrost is the
32:36permanently frozen round
32:38underneath the areas
32:39in the north of Russia
32:41it's melting
32:42and now the houses
32:43are falling down
32:43and the pipes are cracking
32:45and as a result
32:46they have a huge
32:48environmental problem
32:50in the Arctic north
32:52in Russia
32:53which is the centre
32:54of most of their
32:55oil extraction
32:56and apparently
32:57oil pipes are breaking
32:59spilling oil
33:00onto the ground
33:01causing another
33:01environmental problem
33:03so Russia is in big trouble
33:05which makes it be
33:06a bit difficult
33:07to believe
33:08that actually
33:08they're going to start
33:09invading western Europe
33:12but wherever it is
33:13the other option
33:14is that Russia
33:15falls apart
33:15because people
33:16are rebelling against it
33:17and the people
33:18in the east
33:19are saying
33:19well there's no good
33:20us being allied
33:20to Moscow
33:21they're not doing
33:22us any good
33:23let's look to China
33:24they might do us
33:24a bit more good
33:25and there's a real fear
33:26that parts of the east
33:28may move to China
33:29parts of the centre
33:30may move to the
33:32southern republics
33:33which are actually
33:35now being allied
33:35to Turkey
33:36and there's a report
33:37I saw which showed
33:37Turkey taking a
33:38kind of link
33:39into central Asia
33:42and Russia itself
33:43falling apart
33:44and there are
33:45some are saying
33:45that if Russia
33:45falls apart
33:48would that be
33:48a good thing
33:49because Russia
33:49is no longer
33:49threatening us
33:50it's no longer
33:51going to lead
33:51the war of
33:52Gog and Magog
33:52or could it be
33:53a bad thing
33:54because you've
33:54then got a country
33:55full of nuclear
33:56weapons
33:57which could fall
33:58into the hands
33:58of all kinds
33:59of unsavory
34:00people
34:01but these are
34:02some of the things
34:02which are being
34:03projected by
34:05people looking
34:05into what's
34:06happening in the
34:07world today
34:08not good
34:09as I'm sure
34:10you understand
34:12I could say
34:13a lot more
34:13about Europe
34:14and about
34:14the United Kingdom
34:16I think because
34:17my time's gone
34:17on for a long time
34:18I'm not going
34:18to go into
34:19too much
34:19about the UK
34:21I'll leave that

34:26happening in this
34:26country
34:27particularly attacking
34:28our traditions
34:29our Christian faith
34:31and which are
34:31leaving us

34:46I won't go
34:46into that now
34:47but what's
34:48the answer
34:50the answer
34:51is Jesus
34:52and the only
34:52thing we can
34:53do is
34:53preach
34:54the gospel
34:57the only
34:57message we've
34:58got is the
34:58message of
34:59salvation
34:59through Yeshua
35:00Jesus
35:01and Messiah
35:05just close
35:06with a reading
