The New World Order Conspiracy Theory

Detail from the US Dollar Bill

Barry Smith (1933-2002), a Christian evengelist from New Zealand, traveled extensively expounding his views on current affairs in relation to Biblical prophecy about the Last Days. The phrase “the Last Days” refers to a period immediately preceding the time when God will carry out final Judgement on humankind. Prophecy about the Last Days generally deals with events that can be seen as a warning that the biblical Day of Judgement is imminent.  In short, Barry claimed that occult and demonic forces are undermining world governments, heralding the 'Day of Judgement' of biblical infamy. In 1998 I wrote a critical review of some of Barry Smith’s claims, put forth by him, in talks at West Bromwich Town Hall on 4th, 5th and 6th October 1997 and another series of talks given at Zion Church, Chesterfield on 11th, 12th and 13th September 1998. The review briefly summarised Barry Smith's ideas but did not cover all of the areas that are included in his talks, books, and his newspaper The Omega Times.  Some of his talks are available on both video and DVD, and he has written a series of books dealing with his claims.

My review was published on Gerry Rough's US website Floodlight which collated essays critical of Christian conspiracy theories.  I subsequently developed my original review into a full-blown website called NWOrisit?  It must be stressed that the aim of the original review, and the website, was to debunk Barry's claims and therefore is heavily one-sided and not an objective, academically balanced article.  An updated version will be available soon on the Articles page and should be read along side Barry's own publications listed below.  At the bottom of this page you can also read Barry's reply to my criticisms.

The YouTube clip below shows Barry talking about secret societies. 

Interested readers are encouraged to pursue the details further for themselves.

Barry's Reply

"Ten years ago, Mr. Michael J. Rush may have gained a following in criticizing the message that we have now been sharing world-wide for many years but in the year 2001 I do not like his chances.

When I gave up school teaching after 15 years to pursue this information, I found the One World Government plan so involved and complex but, little by little, the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle began to fit together. I appreciate that, of course, there will be people who desperately hope that I am wrong, as if I am correct, these folk are not in a very happy position.

Mr Rush has listened well to my teachings and caught the main gist of the information, however as he does not have access to all the proofs that are carefully stored in my files, I feel that he has shown himself to be alarmed to such a degree that he has spent many valuable hours researching, often using the wrong research material and when a suitable rebuttal could not be found sometimes resorting to subtly twisting my statements to suit his conclusions. This, I feel, is a pity.

A professional man here in New Zealand, some years ago expressed similar emotions as those revealed by Mr. Rush but after a time he discovered that his initial reactions were wrong and he ended up writing a book himself verifying the facts.

The anti-globalisation rioters know that something is amiss, and like Mr. Rush have also not discovered the Satanic spiritual aspect as yet.

The Lord has much time on His hands, and if he can transform a Saul into a Paul, what can he do with our friend Mr. Rush. I wish him well on his journey through life.

Regards,

Barry Smith. "
