The Data They Don't Want You To Talk About

Since he became ‘Born Again’ in Christ, some people have remained sceptical about the sincerity of Russell Brand’s newfound Christian faith.

However, it has been fascinating to watch some of his latest presentations since his decision to become a faithful Christian (Follower of Jesus Christ). He is certainly not afraid to speak openly about his faith, and his grasp of the Bible and understanding of Christian ethics have rocketed, as has his apparent sincerity in recent months.

Now, I know … many people will ask - can you really trust any celebrity to speak the truth in their testimonies about turning to Christ on their TV or video ‘shows’? Maybe and maybe not. (Come to think about it - can you trust anyone who claims to be a Christian at face value?) - That is why you have to rely on your own judgment, based on the sincerity the individual shows, the tone of their voice, their facial expressions, and, primarily, their actions. Well, I admit I can't judge by what I see and hear alone. However, I do listen carefully to how someone who refers to the Bible to back up what they are saying, as well as considering how they live thereafter.

I believe that Russell Brand and Dr John Campbell had an absolute right to bring the matter of thousands of sudden deaths that occurred in Britain following the rollout of the untested mRNA vaccines over the last five years. that were given to thousands of people during the last five years of the Covid Scandal. demonstrates how the UK Government is still refusing to let the public have sight of data concerning the number of sudden deaths following the mRNA vaccines that were administered to millions of poeple during the last six ‘Covid’ years.

The levels of deception and outright lies from those in positions of power and authority have undoubtedly been detrimental to the population and to the life we thought we knew. It was interesting to watch Russell listening carefully to John before responding. But when he did, he quoted facts that everyone knew were true, along with Bible verses that supported them. As he said, the signs of the times align with the authoritarian theology taking root across Western nations.

Both Russell Brand and Dr John Campbell have enormous followings on their YouTube and Rumble channels, respectively. It is estimated that between them, it amounts to about 10 million people. So their ability to reach a large number of people with the gospel is considerable.

However, in the 30-minute interview above, they discussed two essential things.

1. Why has the British Government released the actual data on the number of sudden deaths to the giant pharmaceutical company Pfizer, yet refused to release that same data to the British Public?
2. WHY would a government that is supposed to represent the people deceive them? Why are MPs afraid to listen to the truth? Russell and John agreed that if the British Government were to speak the truth and release the data, it would no doubt provoke an enormous public outcry and possibly trigger chaos across the country. They agreed that the reason may well be that, if the Government released the facts, they might face an uprising amongst those who have suffered from the lies and deception. Therefore, the government would no doubt be content to continue withholding this vital information to keep the peace.

I wonder how many readers remember what happened to former MP Andrew Bridgen, who was kicked out of the Conservative Party for life for trying to get parliament to present the facts about the thousands of sudden deaths that occurred following the Covid-19 vaccines throughout the United Kingdom?

It was due to Andrew’s persistence that he managed to secure a final debate, albeit in the Upper Chamber of Parliament, but with a few MPs present. However, in a recorded Parliamentary discussion, as he ended his speech, he repeated what happened to him during his last interview with a senior party official, whilst attempting, once last time, to raise the issue and bring the truth to bear. The answer this person gave him was:

“Andrew - there is no political appetite for your views on the vaccines; There may well be in twenty years’ time, and you are probably going to be proven right, but in the meantime, you need to bear in mind that you are taking on the most powerful vested interests in the world with all the personal risk for you that will entail”

And so Andrew Bridgen suffered a lifelong expulsion from the party, and the people of Leicestershire, whom he had faithfully served for 13 years.

So, who exactly are these ‘Powers and Authorities who obviously control members of parliament?

As Russell Brand spoke very openly about life before and after becoming a ‘born-again’ believer in Christ, he reiterated that we are at War with authorities who want to ignore and hide the truth.

Therefore, over the past 5 years, many people have asked why they have heard so little from the Church, whose task is to hold power to account.

Why did the Church fail to respond to the false pandemic fears? Why did the former Archbishop of Canterbury tell all people that “ if you love your neighbour, you take the vaccine as Jesus would have done”? What!

Interestingly, Russell pointed out in one of his previous interviews that, in his opinion, the Church had been failing to preach the whole gospel for years, which would have included passages from Ephesians and others on spiritual warfare. It has resulted in a weak form of Christianity that so many now mock today.

Russell can articulate more than most, and his observations of what the ‘World’ was involved with indicated that Christians didn’t seem to realise that they are in a real War - a war against the people by those in power and authority. It is war to reclaim the ground lost to atheism and agnosticism, but more than that. It is a War against plain disbelief in a gospel of love provided by a loving God for the total benefit of humanity, and we are all paying a heavy price for this predicament.

Why don’t we hear more from the Book of Revelation?

As I have already stated, the Church should be more aware than most that God’s people are constantly at war against principalities and powers in the spiritual realms and are therefore responsible for preaching the whole truth from the Bible that would bring sin to account. So, why haven’t people been aware of the preaching of the book of Revelation, which God gave his people specifically to give them hope in the midst of heavy persecution? It is, after all, a book of hope for all those who are faithful to Jesus Christ and regard themselves as his friend.

As Russell began quoting scriptures from the book of Revelation, he clarified other Bible verses that explain that a time is nearing when God will finally respond to the lack of love in the world and to the injustices that have occurred throughout history. How Christ, God’s only son, paid the ultimate price for this lack of love, which he referred to as the ‘sins of the world’ when they nailed him to a cross and left him to die a miserable and painful death.

What is this hope? (Revelation chapter 20- 21)

The Book of Revelation is the last book of the Bible that God gave to those who loved Jesus and were suffering severe persecution. It offered the early Christians hope during a time when they were falling into the hands of the Roman Emperors, who claimed to be gods. The Lord Almighty wanted His Word, in the last book of the Bible, to encourage all of them. But this Word was not just for those early Christians; it was for all time.

This hope is, and was, based solely on the fact that Jesus Christ said he would return to the earth once again to establish his rule of total justice and love. (Note: with a Rod of Iron or Sceptre) for a thousand years, initially on the planet itself (stated six times in Revelation chapter 20). But, once the thousand years ended, His faithful followers would ultimately meet the Father (God) (whom no one has ever seen face-to-face).

This is when God promises to recreate a new Heaven and a new Earth for all those who have remained faithful to Jesus all their lives. It is when they finally live with God for eternity. (Please don’t imagine that this might be a boring life flapping around with wings on the clouds, as the media would have you believe. It cannot be fully imagined, but one thing is sure. Jesus promises that we will be like him and rule the planet with him under his lordship. What we do know is that this eternal existence will be more than anyone can now envisage, but the Bible tells us that it will be totally fulfilling and will go on forever and ever. (Much like people like the Big-Tech tycoons like Ray Kurzweil, former chief engineer for Google, imagine for themselves as they also seek to achieve eternal life via their technology.

A question: So, are you taking the Bible seriously, or do you imagine it to be just a dusty old book with no relevance to today’s world?

Let’s begin to address this vital question, because so many in modern society seem to ask it. Can the Bible be trusted, or is it just a mixture of books written by old men about times that are entirely irrelevant for today? My simple answer based on over 37 years of experience is Yes, of course it can be trusted one hundred per cent because it is THE WORD OF GOD and He represents total love, total trust and total righteousness and forgiveness. God can be relied on throughout our entire lives.

But for those who would like an in-depth answer to the question, I can’t recommend reading John Lennox’s new book enough. It is called - ‘God, AI, & The END OF HISTORY - Understanding. The book of Revelation is an age of Intelligent Machines.

John is without doubt one of the last great Christian Scientists to have also majored in Mathematics, serving as a professor of Mathematics in the UK. Being a brilliant scholar of the Bible, his considerable knowledge of scripture far exceeds most people as his ability to articulate clearly to ordinary people. He has appeared in many television debates about the existence of God with people like Professor Richard Dawkins, a British evolutionary biologist, zoologist, science communicator, and author.

But whichever way you lean, it is not unusual for a brand-new Christian who God has really taken hold of, like Russell, to show the zeal for God and His Word. But this can only happen if one has read and understood the Bible more than most, whilst relating it to the reality of life. As I have often told people, I believe the 66 books of the Bible say what they mean, and mean what they say, because I have lived now for 77 years on this planet and have seen enough to prove God’s existence, despite the struggles many seem to have in believing.

Of course, the many ‘so-called’ knowledgeable theologians often don’t help. They so frequently want to display their excellent knowledge of history, the meaning of words (Hermeneutics), and their philosophical and Psychological training, etc. However, they seldom seek to speak with ordinary people.

Remember the Prologue to the book Revelation FROM JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. It is all people, not just intellectuals or highly educated people.

Revelation - Prologue

1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, ² who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.³ Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

NOTE: the words ‘blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it.

Did you get what it said - this is a word directly from Jesus Christ, and he said blessed are you if you take the words to heart, what is written in it.

I take that to mean what I said earlier: It means what it says and says what it means!!!

Nobody wants the words of the Bible to be reduced to an acceptable understanding among the few. It is either for all those who choose to believe in God or no one. But, clever theologians so often refer to the Word of God as ‘Mythology’, ‘Disconnected stories’ legends’ or ‘fables’. They will regret saying these things when they finally face the God of all in the life to come.

Therefore, whilst Russell's statement, "we are at war", might seem rather extreme, it is nevertheless true, as it is written in Ephesians 6:12 in the Holy Bible,

A slight aside: Do you ever remember singing ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’ - Marching as to War, with the cross of Jesus, going on before”. I do, because when I led worship in churches many years ago, I used to play this song to remind the congregation that Christians were AT WAR.’

Now I realise that many people will quickly say the word WAR referred to in the Bible is a ‘Spiritual War’, BUT that doesn’t mean that events on this earth will not reflect in the spiritual realm. Of course, our role as followers of Christ is to recognise that we are not in a literal battle against flesh and blood, but it does require us to identify what is happening in the physical realm so we can use the power of prayer to impact it. In other words, it requires us to understand that we ARE in a WAR!

Russell Brand has grasped and understood what this means.

Russell now spoke directly, coherently, and articulately in gospel terms, quoting several other scriptures from the Bible that clearly tell us we are at WAR with the rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world… He then pointed out the verse in Ephesians 6:12.

‘For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms’. (Ephesians 6:12)

For many years, I, too, have quoted this scripture, explaining that if anyone has not been prepared to acknowledge Christ as their personal saviour, they are, by default, subject to the dark spiritual ruler (Satan) of this world to which Ephesians 6:12 refers. I’ve told my grandchildren that the moment they walk out the front door in the morning, they are up against this darkness, whether they realise it or not. Therefore, they must be on guard and acknowledge that if Christ is in them, they have become children of the living God. This means that they will have received ALL God’s promises of Christ, and they will have the spirit of Christ in them/ Jesus said that if we were his friends, he had ‘Overcome the World’: He was telling his followers that they too can overcome the world.

AND SO, I DARE ASK, WHOSE YOU SAY YOU ARE A FRIEND OF JESUS CHRIST?

I think that raises two Questions:

1. Can people who refuse to acknowledge Christ still be friends with Jesus Christ, or, as the bible verse points out, have they become enemies of God?

2. Does the ‘Church’ prefer to be friends with the world in everything it does, with its projects and schemes and wonderful sermon-like stories that lack the true power of the Gospel, whilst seemingly designed to reach people as ‘friends’, when Christ tells us that we cannot be friends with Him AND the World?

The Bible provides the answers.

They can be found in the book of James 4:4-10 - ⁴ adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. ⁵ Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? ⁶ But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

“God opposes the proud
but shows favour to the humble.

⁷Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. ⁹ Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:7

Because if you are obedient to Jesus Christ? He would say, “ If you love me, then do as I command” John 14:15

And what are the terms by which God gives us the right to become children of God? First recognition of sin in ourselves. Then repentance, which means I recognise that there is no good thing in me. Finally, acceptance of the free gift of Christ, who will dwell in us and give us the strength to live the life that God calls us to. Again, be reminded of what the scripture says in 1John 5:19: “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one” - SO, it is reasonable to ask again - ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD? Are you a friend of Jesus or do you just want to be friends with ‘the world’?
