Transcript: COVID-19 and Bible Prophecy: Understanding God's Plan

If you're watching this video at the moment, that could be a small miracle in itself. We are facing more and more censorship on the internet for sharing our understanding of Bible prophecy and so I would start by encouraging you to save this video in any way that you know how and to put it up elsewhere on the internet wherever you can. Now here is the tragic irony of this censorship at the moment. With almost every weather or news report of the past 20 years, or however many years YouTube has been around someone has popped up telling you that it marks the end of the world or some other significant event. Now, when things are really starting to happen, the system has become so paranoid that it cannot tolerate almost any sort of sound doctrine. Anyway, enough lamenting. If this is of God, he will make a way for it to be heard and maybe the censorship is all okay if it just filters out the lies and exaggerations. In the meantime, let's just tell it like it is, to as many as we can, while we can find a door open. What follows, for starters, is a brief summary of things we on this channel have been doing and saying over the past few months in relation to God's guidance. On October 25th, last year 2019, we released a video called, Urgent Warning to America. Here are a few excerpts from it. Over the past 48 hours, members of our community all over the world have been receiving dreams and other revelations that we should immediately leave the US. Already tickets have been purchased for most of our members, and within a week, we hope to all be out of there. Even among ourselves, we have more or less assumed that this is only a drill, a test from God to see if we are prepared to move when he tells us to move. so I must be very clear with regard to making this move public as well. It probably is not about a literal attack on the US even though we have believed for decades that destruction awaits America somewhere down the line. But it still is something that every American needs to think about. Is your faith in God strong enough to survive without the support that life in the US means for you at the moment? If destruction were imminent, do you have such a relationship with God that you think he would warn you in time to leave? And if he did warn you, in a dream or through some other means that the country was going to be destroyed would you even bother to take it seriously? In the 17th chapter of Luke's Gospel, Jesus talks about his followers being instructed to flee much like Lot did from Sodom and Gomorrah, and he says, If you are on the porch, do not even return to get things from your house. If you are on the field, do not turn back. That's the kind of obedience that God expects from each of us. When HE speaks, procrastination is not an option. What this channel has been saying for more than two years now is that God wants us to quit our jobs, forsake our possessions, and go into all the world to preach the gospel. Over the past three years, we've made a lot of friendly contacts with people in the US many of whom talk about stepping out in faith some day. Unfortunately for most of us, some day never comes. Are you going to be left stranded spiritually, and maybe physically as well because you could not make that final step of faith to link up with others who are doing all we can to literally obey Jesus today, as the first Christians did in Bible times? We ourselves were surprised at how long it took us to pack up and leave. Nevertheless, within a couple of weeks, we had reduced our presence to two small teams one on the Canadian border and one on the Mexican border. Then, through the end of November and most of December, we became deeply involved in the whole movement against global warming. We ultimately recognized that worldwide concerns over global warming could be leading the world straight into the hands of a global dictatorship. We put that observation together with our understanding of Bible prophecy which is that a country and leader represented by a symbolic dragon will not only help to destroy the US someday but it will also deceive people everywhere into giving it full power over the rest of the world. It was definitely counter-intuitive of me to say such a thing at the time, because much of the world is not only aware of China's awful record with regard to pollution, but it is also aware of the shocking human rights abuses in Communist China. Nevertheless, the Bible says that the Antichrist will succeed in deceiving the entire world. Could China actually do that, given its horrible track record? I made a lot of videos during a prolonged hunger strike in Melbourne, Australia in December of 2019. Here is part of what I said about China and climate change in one of those videos. Leaders everywhere seem unwilling to heed the warnings, unwilling to make the changes. They cannot think farther than the next election. But as the global temperature rises, the rest of the world is going to become more desperate for an easy answer that others will do the hard work on and then dish it up to them. And this is where my concern about China comes in. You see, the Chinese government, arguably the most cruel government that has ever existed, is apparently working on a solution to the climate crisis, or what they say will be a solution. I do believe the entire Western world will end up accepting the Chinese solution. Why? Well, because they'll have no other choice. I believe the entire human race is headed toward a showdown with the most evil forces the world has ever known, the most toxic system. Our conscience, our integrity, our purpose for being here on this planet is going to be tested to the maximum. very few of us have allowed ourselves to face just how serious this is and just how helpless we already are in making our leaders actually lead the battle was lost when we stopped believing that there is a divine plan for the human race a loving plan with a loving creator and an eternal kingdom, free from all the evils that face us now. I've heard the words toxic system used in extinction rebellion circles. And I do think that some dream of a heavenly kingdom exists as well. We just need to come out of one and totally align ourselves with the other. That invisible kingdom, according to Jesus Christ, is available to each of us. By the very end of December, my friends and I had started producing a series of three videos on climate change, which culminated in further serious warnings about China. Here are some excerpts from that series. The wealthy, self-righteous denialists of the West will be destroyed. That is what Bible prophecy says, and God may well use other countries and angry rebels from their own country to do it. There are many prophecies about the final world government and some of these prophecies just happen to use the same animal descriptions that are used by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. The prophecies indicate that a bear will pluck the wings of an eagle . When this happens, it effectively cancels out any effect that a lion or an animal with rooster wings might have previously had on either the bear or a dragon which is also referred to as the devil himself. Then, in league with the ten rotating members of the Security Council the bear and the dragon will be able to control the whole world. This alliance between the new world leader and ten kings or kingdoms is precisely how it would work in today's world if one or two members of the UN Security Council acquired total control of that council. People have made guesses about a world leader who could perhaps resurrect a collapsed economy A world leader who might save us from terrorism A world leader who could offer some hope in the face of global catastrophes widespread epidemics and or political unrest. But no single issue has, in my opinion, ever galvanized the collective will so strongly and so universally as that of climate change, because it presents a life-and-death threat to all of us. Bear in mind that the coronavirus was totally unheard of at this stage, when that video was being made at the very end of 2019. Obviously we have an even more immediate global threat right now, thus the arrival of the Antichrist may be even closer than I had previously thought, not years away, but maybe only months. Ironically, the term lockdown had very little meaning when this video was made, and yet that is precisely what the illustration showed in that video back in December of 2019. We need someone who can convince us that they have a foolproof plan to save the planet and that they have the strength to silence anyone who stands in the way of implementing that solution. I believe that such a leader will arise out of Communist China. I believe that over the next few years, the world is going to turn more and more to Communist China for help with solving the climate crisis. Of course, to do that, we would need to give China the power to act in what we might all consider to be the best interests of the world as a whole even if that means the destruction of America and Communist control of the United Nations. I don't know all the details, but this is the overall picture that I see painted both in Bible prophecy and in world events at the moment. Prophecy, by its very nature, always leaves some room for doubt. Interpretations are always imperfect, so we must be open to modification as events loom closer. Even before that video was released, events had changed dramatically actually speeding up what I had been saying. Everything is coming together, and things are happening faster than most of us can keep up with. The fact that the Bible reveals so much about what is happening in the world today should make all of us consider the possibility that the human race is moving toward a final showdown with our Creator. And then, the new coronavirus appeared. So I made yet another video in mid-January, when the virus was just starting to take off in China. In it, I mentioned both the virus and climate change. China is going to convince the world that it has the answers to both problems. Ironically, China appears to be both the most likely source of pandemics and the biggest contributor to climate change. So my prediction is not something which the average citizen would assume. It is, in fact, quite contrary to present assumptions. China is doing everything right with regard to controlling this outbreak. China is showing itself to be far more responsible in handling this crisis than any other government in the world. Take the lockdown of 50 million people, for example. There seems to be little thought about how well China has been containing the outbreak. A report from an Australian who chose to stay on there, explained that authorities in Wuhan are checking the temperature for virtually everyone on a daily basis. Anyone with a fever is whisked away to a hospital, so as to minimize contact with others. A 1,000-bed hospital has been thrown together in record time, built entirely from prefabricated bits and pieces. And apparently, plans for other hospitals are also going ahead, in an attempt to keep pace. Everywhere else, it's all about economics. We in Australia live on an island. It would have been as easy as locking Australia down to pretty much guarantee immunity. But what government has the courage to do something so inconvenient as that? Even those airlines which have decided to stop making flights to and from China did not do it in an attempt to isolate the virus. They did it because passengers themselves could see the risk and stopped booking flights. In other words, the West is primarily concerned with making money and with not upsetting the status quo. The government in my state in Australia more or less ordered kids to go to school as long as they did not have the new coronavirus symptoms or known contact with a person suffering from coronavirus. Why Well because we don want to upset parents teachers shopkeepers and everyone else who is part of the whole overall economy Be calm and pretend nothing is happening That more or less the rule of the day Just like we did with HIV and are doing now with climate change We stick our heads in the sand and hope that someone else will come up with a solution that doesn't upset the economy. Thousands of Australians died while waiting for a solution for AIDS, and it could easily be the same with the new coronavirus. So, what I am saying is that, whether or not the pandemic ever comes under control, it is China who has shown the world what is needed to stop such an outbreak, if it is going to be stopped at all. In the worst possible scenario, China has at least bought us more time. They were also quick to locate the source of the outbreak, and to inform governments all over the world of the genome and DNA data that would be necessary if we are to find a successful vaccine. The latest update is that the most populous country in the world apparently has the virus totally under control in their own country now, while such comparatively tiny countries as Italy have actually surpassed the total number of deaths that occurred in China. Each day that passes, more and more other countries are moving toward the same incriminating dilemma despite all of us having had many weeks more warning than what China had. Could it be that China has actually found the cure? Could it be waiting until the rest of us get desperate enough to hand over control in exchange for that cure? Could it be that the destruction of America is already happening right before our eyes? This week, our last two teams in the US actually crossed the two borders out of the country literally hours before each one closed. The only place on earth that is literally named Babylon is a suburb on Long Island, New York, not far from the New York Stock Exchange. New York City, home to the United Nations, is now in lockdown. Land of the free? Home of the brave? Or a country under siege? This is happening in a country which is infamous for having more privately owned guns than it has citizens and where there is a sizeable portion of the population that has been storing up weapons and other survival gear for just such a scenario as this. Preppers all over America have literally trained themselves to use those weapons to protect their own private food sources from marauding neighbors if not to rob food from others who find themselves in a similar situation. America has the ability and the temperament to literally destroy itself, while China never fires a shot. Meanwhile, China's economy is taking off once again. Most people who lived through the Great Depression have horror stories to tell. But a few individuals with enough cash to back themselves up made a fortune simply because labor was so cheap and because they could buy almost anything for very little cash. Everyone else's desperation was their opportunity. Well, China seems to be in that position at the moment. the fall of America may have already begun. We're starting to get mail from people in America who suddenly think that God is telling them to leave. Is he? I think it's more likely that he was telling them to leave long before now. It's only fear that's making them seriously considerate now. The Bible tells us that the fearful will have no part in the kingdom of heaven. When people only show interest in God as a way to avoid unpleasantness it misses the point of God asking, in the first place, for people to take up their crosses in order to die for him and for others. We've been saying it for decades now. Come die with us! Whether it's dying daily to our various selfish dreams and ambitions, or dying literally as martyrs God wants us to get a vision of an eternal and heavenly kingdom which is far more real than the materialism that has trapped all of us in the past. Please do write to us and share a little about your own situation. We'll do our best to support you through emails while we have the ability to do so, and let us all pray for wisdom and love as we seek God's will for the weeks and months ahead. Thank you for listening. you
