On January 16, 2026, Allistair Francis, a message preacher in South Africa, published a YouTube video titled Discouraged by the Message and the Prophet: The Message on Trial.[1]
It is blindingly obvious that Allistair Francis has not read our book, Under The Halo, nor has he read any of the information on this website. As a result, we must label him as "willingly ignorant" which is not a good state to be in when you are commenting on a subject. We deal with this in more detail below.
The following is a critical analysis and point-by-point logical deconstruction of the arguments raised in his video. This was written by one of our readers.
If you find any inaccuracies or incorrect information, please let us know any we will correct it as soon as we are able.
