The Stage Is Being Set For The Mark Of The Beast

FoxNews ran an article on January 16, 2023 - “Central-bank digital currencies are coming—whether countries are ready or not.”

The game-changing development could have a profound impact on the banking system. But few people still understand it.      

What the world’s elites in the banking system want to do is to digitalize money so that you and I cannot hold onto our cash. You see, people can often be paid for their services by cash and the government doesn’t know what’s happening. But the government wants to know how you are making your money, and more important, how you are spending it and where it is going. By making money digital, the government will control your money and ultimately control you.

Why does the government want to control you? Because if you support something that goes against the government, it can penalize you through your digital currency. If you say or do some things that go against what the government believes, it can deduct your digital currency from your account as a form of punishment. All this to keep you in check.  You will not have cash to lean on.

The article went on to point out that “one hundred and fourteen countries are exploring digital currencies, and their collective economies represent more than 95% of the world’s GDP, according to the Atlantic Council’s Central Bank Digital Currency tracker. Some countries, including China, India, Nigeria and the Bahamas, have already rolled out digital currencies. Others, like Sweden and Japan, are preparing for possible rollouts. The U.S. is studying the issue and has run trials of various technologies to enable a digital currency, although Fed chair Jerome Powell has indicated the U.S. central bank has no plans to create one, and won’t do so without direction from Congress.”

“This type of CBDC (central bank digital currency) represents a departure from the way money is created and distributed today, in that everyday people would now have accounts, or "wallets" that contain money created by their country’s central bank itself, instead of by their commercial bank. It represents a profound shift for central banks, from their traditional role as providers of money to a country’s banking and financial system, to connecting directly with everyday people.”

“At this point, the average person is probably wondering why, in a world in which billions of people have become accustomed to paying for things with electronic payment systems already, anyone needs a digital version of their currency.

“The answer to that question depends on the motivations of the central banker, analyst or academic you ask. Many who study digital currencies argue that at the most basic level, a digital currency is all about control.”

This is exactly what we are told will happen when the Antichrist comes to power and uses global digital monetary system starting in the middle of the seven year Tribulation Period.

Rev. 13:16 – “He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. 17 And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. 18 Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.  His number is 666.”

Several things to note here:

First, the requirement – “everyone.” This is a government mandate! Everyone will be required to become part of the Antichrist digital system.  Remember, we had a taste of this already during the covid lockdowns and subsequent vaccines mandates in which those who refused, couldn’t travel, lost their jobs, got ostracize from their families, were unable to receive medical care, and in some cases couldn’t even shop for food. In places such as Australia and New Zealand, and also here in the U.S., people who did not comply with the mask or vaccine mandates were arrested and mistreated.

Second, notice the control – “no one could buy or sell. . .”  The basic necessities of life are taken away for those who will not comply.

Third, notice the instrument – “without the mark.”  What mark? The mark of the Antichrist that when given, will identify those who are on the side of the Beast.  And those who refuse the “mark” will identify as those who are against the Beast.  They will be captured, imprisoned and killed.

Rev. 20:4:  And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands.

Fourth, notice the identity of the mark – “either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.”

Unlike the government mandated vaccines for so-called Covid issues, this mark that will occur during the Tribulation Period, which will be mandated globally, will be an object of loyalty and worship of the Beast. It has to do with his name and his personhood.

In the Book of Revelation, all those who receive the mark of the Beast will go to hell. They will have sealed their destiny. No one who receives the mark of the beast will be given a chance to repent.

The global banking digital system being set up by world bankers are setting the stage and creating the scene for the coming Beast to use for his diabolical purposes.

Although we hold firmly to the Rapture of the Church before the Tribulation, it doesn’t mean that we will not see persecution of the church rise dramatically. The faith of Christians will be tested prior to the Rapture. Stay spiritually alert and be sober.  Do all that you can to fortify your faith. Because your faith in God will be the only thing that will enable you to overcome this world.

“For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. 5 And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God” – 1 John 5:4-5
