Scripture does not say how transactions will take place but it says that unless one has taken the mark of the Beast, they will not be able to buy or sell. If you have cash, you could buy & sell. Therefore, we know that we are headed toward a cashless society.

Revelation 13:16–17 “It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.”

The world is preparing for a cashless economic system. In Sweden, many bank branches no longer accept or dispense cash. Thousands of ATM machines have been permanently removed. Many stores will no longer take cash. In Denmark, the government’s goal is to go to a cashless economy by 2030. It is possible Australia will be a cashless society by 2022. India is progressing toward a cashless economy. Cash is being used less and less in most countries today. Russia, China and other countries want to do away with the U.S. dollar as the world’s currency and go to a new world currency where cash is not needed.

Governments like the change because it gives them the ability to trace and monitor what a person is spending on. Going to the use of plastic or phones in paying, will cause a tremendous amount of lost freedom and liberty.

When this all takes place, what is going to be needed to have adequate identification? I believe it will require a RFID chip the size of rice that will be imbedded in one’s right hand or forehead. This would give the government control over who could use the system and who could not. If you do not take the chip, you cannot buy, sell or get a job. If you take the chip, Scripture says you will go to hell.

What a choice?

A black market will not be allowed to exist. It appears the Christian will either be killed for not worshipping the idol or die from starvation by not having the mark. For those believers who remain truly committed and faithful to God, through all that will go on, will be truly special Christians and fit for God’s kingdom. A person willing to die for his or her Christian principles are people I would like to be in heaven with. My prayer is that I am worthy, considering what these people must go through to be a child of God. Will we be able to pass the test?

Revelation 13:18 “This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.”

The Greek and Hebrew alphabets have numerical values attached to the letters. The numbers 666 spells out the name of the Antichrist. John Hagee writes, don’t worry about who this number stands for because the church will be in heaven and he will be revealed to the church when he takes control.

Since the writing of Revelation, man has tried to determine the name that fits those numbers. Some believe it to be the name of a Pope. Some thought it was Nero. It is believed those who are true Tribulation Christians will recognize him by the number of his name. We know that the Antichrist will control the world. There will be a one-world government, economy and judicial system. He has all of the technology needed to have complete control.
