An emergency broadcast in Orange Country on Thursday caused citizens to panic with its "ominous" predictions about the end of the world.

From OC Register:

Some Orange County residents were stunned Thursday, Sept. 21, when television programming was suddenly interrupted for about a minute with an ominous message predicting the end of the world.

Stacy Laflamme of Lake Forest said she was watching the HGTV channel via Cox Communications about 11:05 a.m. when suddenly an emergency alert flashed across her screen followed by a voice.

“Realize this, extremely violent times will come,” a man’s voice boomed, according to a video of the alert.

Laflamme said she was alarmed.

“It almost sounded like Hitler talking,” she said. “It sounded like a radio broadcast coming through the television.”

It was actually a Christian preacher, according to this person who recorded part of the broadcast and shared it on reddit.

The man confirmed what he heard was the first minute and a half of a lecture titled "Depravity on Parade" by preacher Chuck Swindoll.

Another YouTuber uploaded a few seconds of the same broadcast:
