THE BEAST MARK AND
CASHLESS CURRENCY
Internet news sites have recently issued several articles discussing
the use of crypto-currencies and the Russian’s interest in having a complete
digital currency. Concurrently with the
digital currency news input are several articles promoting the use of an
implant device which some people equate with the so-called “mark of the beast”.
These various news bulletins are upsetting the intestinal
functions of many pre-trib rapture-types who still believe there will be a
seven year tribulation period (some say there will only be 3 and ½ years). These pre-trib dispensationalists continue to
follow the Scofield/Dallas Theological Seminary concept (made famous by Hal
Lindsey) that an “antichrist” world leader will emerge from the old Roman
Empire (some say he is Islamic) along with his partner, the earth beast or
false prophet. Together (mostly due to the
false prophet) they will mark every willing person with the so-called “666”
identifier, popularly referred to as the “mark of the beast”, thus limiting the
ability to buy or sell with the people who are marked.
Anyone with a few brain cells should be able to understand
that in today’s world, it is totally impossible for any sole leader to
militarily conquer the world and set up the headquarters of the world in the current
nation of Israel. The USA, Russia,
China, and several other countries would not allow such an act to occur without
incurring a vast nuclear WWIII with everything destroyed. Europe does not currently have much of a
military presence with a limited supply of military machinery. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia supposedly have
nuclear weapons but not enough to perform worldwide damage. It is possible the entire Arab-Islamic world
would be destroyed in a matter of minutes.
However, getting back to the belief of the pre-tribbers, it
appears that Thomas Horn of SkyWatchTV has injected the idea of a DNA change or
a microchip implant as the simplest and the easiest modern version of the installation
of the “mark of the beast”. The
so-called “mark” has been written about on several past occasions by me and it
is not some future identifier either on the skin or under the skin allowing
someone the ability to buy or sell. It
is simply the metaphoric description of paper currency that has no actual value
other than the faith of the holder or taker to give it a perspective
value. In other words, it is merely fiat
(fake) money with no backing by anything of actual value.
It is my belief that the second appearing of Jesus Christ, the
resurrection of the saints of the Most High God, and the beginning of the
Millennial Kingdom of God will begin before too much longer. The breakdown of Mystery, Babylon is already occurring
and its demise will herald the beginning of the Kingdom of God on earth, not in
some heavenly dimension. The earth as a
paradise for mankind has always been the intention of God, in my opinion. Other than a twisted understanding of the
rich man and Lazarus, one of the teachings of Jesus, there is no direct scriptural
evidence that any human being is now or will ever be in the heavenly dimension
of God.
For the record, it will be said again that embedded
microchips (or anything else) are not the mark of the beast. As a matter of fact, Revelation 13, 14, and
15 are currently past history, which means - don’t wait around for an upcoming
mark, an antichrist beast, a statue that speaks and moves, or the capital of
the world in Jerusalem. The mark, which
is fiat money will soon be eliminated either by gold backed crypto currency or
a complete digital form of money, also backed by actual value such as gold. This will be done by the new Kings of the
East which are Russia and China.
It is entirely possible that digital currency or a chip
imbedded form of currency will be a part of the Kingdom of God during the
Millennial reign of Christ. Some type of
alternative currency will be invoked to replace the petrol-dollar, the Euro, and
various other fiat currency systems. If
so, many of the old school Hebrew roots, pre-tribbers will be shocked and
appalled by those circumstances. They
will also be thoroughly confused when the resurrection of the saints of the
Most High occurs and they haven’t been whisked off to heaven. They may even believe the resurrected saints
constitute their awaited “antichrist”.
Some writers have portended a great spiritual revival just
prior to the overcomer’s resurrection and the beginning of the Kingdom of
God. A revival may be necessary to
prepare some of the population to accept a resurrection of saints and the
arrival of the Kingdom.
As an end note let me say that end-times prophecy
understanding is a dismal failure. I am
not certain if that is the planned way or not.
The teaching of a 7 year tribulation period is due to a faulty
understanding of Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 weeks. With the incorrect starting date,
commentators have come to the wrong opinion concerning the birth date and the
crucifixion date of Jesus as well as having a week of seven years left over
which has been placed into the future.
The concept of a pre-tribulation rapture was embedded into
the margin notes of the Scofield study Bible and most current commentators have
accepted this as gospel truth. No one
appears to understand that Scofield divorced his first wife, married a second
time, and was financed by Jewish agents to prepare his study Bible. The primary purpose of his Jewish financiers
was to establish the non-Semitic Khazarian Jews as well as mixed breed Edomite
Jews as the true Semitic Jews as the chosen of God with the exclusive right to
inherit and confiscate Judea and Samaria.
This plan seems to have worked out just fine. The United States currently have a bevy of
teachers, preachers, and commentators who believe the current state of Israel
is comprised with people of all the original twelve tribes of Israel when they
actually consist of non-Israelites and maybe a few descendants of the tribe of
Judah. The New Testament Gospels speak of
a few Israelites living in Judea but their ancestors were probably already
living in the area or escaped being captured by the Assyrians.
David Bay of the Cutting Edge website preaches that the
Palestinians are the Edomites and that they will soon be destroyed according to
the prophecy of Obadiah. Both the Jewish
Encyclopedia and Josephus declare that the Edomites were conquered and assimilated
into the Judahite and Benjamin group during the Maccabean period prior to the
conquest of Judea by the Roman Empire.
The Edomites live in the nation of Israel and not in the Palestinian territories. If Mr. Bay lives long enough, he and his ilk will
be highly amazed when Jerusalem is destroyed as prophesied, although he seems
to have overlooked that prophecy.
I believe in the post trib rapture but I respectfully think embedded chips or DNA changes could potentially be the Mark of the Beast 666.
