“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” – Revelation 13:16-17, KJV.
My dear brothers and sisters,
Could you recall the last time when you had to pay for goods and services in physical, hard cash, and that if you were to come up short in money, you would then have to go to the ATM nearest to you to withdraw the exact value of notes?
Do you remember a time when you would have to physically enter into a bank and negotiate face-to-face with a bank-teller with regards to a withdrawal request?
Seem like long-forgotten, far-away memories, don’t they?
Nowadays, all one has to do settle his/her payment over the counter is to just tap their contactless smart cards over the sensors of EFTPOS machines, and just like that, their payment has been registered and money/funds have been automatically deducted from his/her bank account.
And in the midst of all of these developments, there had been somewhat of a breakthrough in the conception/invention of digital currency such as BitCoin and Ethereum; virtual currency which solely exists and is wholly exchanged in online financial transactions without ever taking physical form/matter in real life.
Unfortunately and unbeknownst to most of our brethren around the world, what is about to take in the place of our modern, contemporary way of financial dealings, will ultimately herald forth the predestined imposition of the One World Currency System spoken of by Saint John the Apostle in the Book of Apocalypse.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages, I speak of our current transition from Decentralised Electronic Currency to Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
CBDC is digital currency that is solely issued and overseen by one singular central bank on a national level; a centralised federal banking system which has the full backing of the domestic government. CBDCs are akin to that of the aforementioned cryptocurrencies (e.g. BitCoin, Ethereum); the distinction from the latter being their fixed values (fixed by the central banks themselves) and their equivalency to their respective nation’s fiat (government-issued) currency.
The International Monetary Fund speculates that numerous nations worldwide which have been experimenting with CBDCs to varying degrees for at least a decade now. These include but are not limited to the following countries: the Bahamian Central Bank’s Sand Dollar, the Central Bank of Eastern Caribbean’s DCash, the eNaira of the Central Bank of Nigeria, JamDex of the Bank of Jamaica and China’s digital Yuan.
While there may be advantages that would arise with the implementation of such a currency system (e.g. lower costs of goods and services, greater accessibility to financial services, promotion of economic/market stability, little-to-no cost/fee for instant money transfers etcetera), there is warranted concern that by doing so, a substantial amount of power will be vested unto the central bank, and by extension, the government, which will give them the opportunity to heavily monitor and survey financial transactions, particularly with regards to credit allocation decisions.
Ergo, under the CBDC system, there exists the great potentiality of the central bank (and the government, by proxy) taking upon themselves to decide for its citizens the conditions on which they are able to access and spend or invest their money. Under such a system, the central bank/government may also go so far as to determine who has the right to access their funds.
CBDCs could very likely result in the imposition of restrictions upon financial liberty and capacity, the implementation of exponentially negative interest rates, the setting-up of automatic tax collection and perhaps even the total obsolescence of hard, physical cash.
And with the eradication of the need to possess material financial assets such as gold and silver, coins and notes and even payment cards, there in their place finally comes the Mark of the microchip or a (QR) bar code to be received or imprinted on either our right hands or foreheads; received or imprinted so that one may be able to make a living to feed and clothe himself/herself by buying and selling, bartering and trading with said Mark.
Beloved brethren – in our endless pursuit to advance technological achievements for the sake of improving the level of convenience and comfort we experience in our daily lives, we have inadvertently and unintentionally been working towards fulfilling Biblical Scripture and prophecies before our very eyes without even realising it. And in doing so, we have damned ourselves with what is to come for us in the approaching latter days.
When once we were able to retain some element/shred of independent autonomy over our capital and other forms of financial assets, now we are about to behold a future where our spending habits are wholly monitored and managed by the governments of our respective nations, and in due course, by the One World Government of the Antichrist.
Nevertheless, while what has been foretold by the prophets of past and the Word of God will surely and inevitably come to pass, and while there is absolutely nothing we can do on our part to prevent its transpiration, it is still not and never too late for those of us who are aware of where we are headed and will be heading in due time.
For the heralding of the One World Currency System also heralds that of the Return, the Second Coming of our Lord, Saviour and Redeemer – Jesus Christ. And with the heralding of His Second Coming comes the Heralding of an Eternal Age of Everlasting Life, Peace and Salvation with Him.
So stand tall, my dear brothers and sisters. Keep your chins up and hold steadfastly to our collective in Christ Jesus, for only with Him and through Him can what may seem to be nigh-impossible be made wholly possible. Put on the whole Armour of God (Ephesians 6:11) for every single day of your lives no matter how dire your situation may be, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and discern the truth from the deception of his schemes.
Rest assured that if you continue to rebuke the evil ones and his acolytes while keeping the Commandments of the Lord our God, you shall have His Mighty and Holy Name be sealed in your foreheads by the Hosts of Heaven (Revelation 7:3) during the latter-days, and thus be made worthy to be co-heirs alongside Christ in the Golden Millennium to come (Revelation 20:4).
In Jesus’ Name do we all fervently and feverishly pray for the strength, tenacity, fortitude, perseverance, willpower to endure all of these things to come – Amen!
