Terry James: Foreshadows of 1984


Foreshadows of 1984
Terry James


A synopsis of 1984 novel provides futuristic geographical orientation for the reader.

1984 is set in a dystopian future where the world is divided into three superstates constantly at war: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. The story unfolds in Airstrip One (formerly Great Britain), a province of the totalitarian superstate of Oceania, which is under the control of the Party led by the figurehead Big Brother.

Britain has, in the story, become the center of power for an all-controlling dictatorship. I don’t know to what extent George Orwell looked into Bible prophecy and the foretold coming Antichrist when forming his storyline. But I have to believe he at least was cursorily familiar with the book of Daniel, Revelation chapter 13 and beyond.

Whatever the case, the author, by accidental good fortune, highly intuitive reasoning, or through premonition provided by a muse on his shoulder, hit upon where such dictatorship might emerge to Antichrist-level control. And to astute observers of recent developments in Great Britain and the UK in general, things are trending swiftly toward change that is disturbing.

While Islamic influence is becoming overbearing in many areas of Britain –and European nations in general— the cultural degrading being foisted upon the society is nothing short of dystopian.


The following news indicates that movement into Orwell-like dystopia.


The UK government is considering a mandatory digital ID for all citizens and legal residents in the UK.  And the NHS has plans to sequence and store the DNA of all babies born in England.  We are fast approaching a dystopian digital surveillance state, similar to what China’s communist government has implemented.

The UK government is considering a proposal for a mandatory digital ID, known as the “BritCard,” which would require the entire population to download it and connect their birth records to the “One Login” system.

The BritCard scheme was proposed by the “think tank” Labour Together. Labour Together’s team is made up largely of former Labour MPs, former local government politicians, former civil servants and former politicians’ assistants.  It is influential within the Labour Party and, currently, the Labour government under Keir Starmer.

Labour Together claims that, according to a poll they had conducted, 80% of Britons would support a digital identity card.  We would like to know who they polled – their office staff?

“For a progressive society to work, it needs to be able to collectively agree who is allowed to join it. Because it will exclude those who cannot join it, it needs to give its members proof that they belong,” Labour Together said.  “Progressive” doesn’t mean that society is improving or people’s lives are going to improve; it means that society is progressing towards the Globalists’ aims of totalitarianism…

Meanwhile, the Bank of England and HM Treasury are currently in the design phase for a potential digital pound, the UK’s central bank digital currency (“CBDC”), with an Academic Advisory Group supporting the process.  In January 2025, the Bank of England announced plans for a “Digital Pound Lab” to enable “hands-on experimentation” as part of its preparation for a potential CBDC. (“Digital dystopia looms large in the UK,” by Rhoda Wilson, The Expose, June 26, 2025)

Those who watch (Mark 13:37)-who view all these goings-on-see the prophetic shadows creeping across the European landscape. Just as we are witnessing the peace efforts spreading across the Middle East-an effort that will ultimately bring the “peace that will destroy many,” we know the moving forward of the global, digital economic efforts will result in enslavement for that dystopian Tribulation world in which all will be forced to accept the mark and number in the worship of Antichrist, or face starvation or death by beheading.
