I saw him speak when he came to Australia in 1992 to the little Pentecostal church that was just starting off & my friend took me because she wanted to off load me so that she could leave the church we were attending. To be honest it wasn’t a good thing but I have survived. I owned at least 2 of his books if not three of them & in the end we survived 2000 & I gave it all up & got rid of the books promising that I would not get involved in all that stuff again as I was a basket case. He meant well as did others at the time but frankly it wasn’t good for my personality type. I am a lot stronger in my faith these days & able to cope with what may come soon. My family are concerned as they see me going down that same old road again…

I think in many ways Barry Smith was on track, but he tried to squeeze things to fit a time frame that was just too early. I heard him a couple of times at least in the 1980s- early 90’s. I always remember him saying that he thought Henry Kissinger might be the antichrist. Well Kissinger is still going strong and still has the antichrist spirit- but he is not “the” antichrist. I also remember being very irritated one day when he talked about how Christians needed to “look” like Christians. Wear a suit and tie and get a haircut. Those were the days in which I wore hippie clothes and patched jeans to church.
