The Money Trap
9th April 2022
The first film that I saw the actor Tom Hanks in was called The Money Pit. It was funny and I really enjoyed it. However, what I am about to write about is not funny and I am not going to enjoy saying it.
The whole world is on the verge of getting rid of cash and replacing it with a digital currency. At first there might be a number of different digital currencies but in the end, the banking system will end up with just one global digital currency. Those involved in planning this are not making any secret of their intentions. At the moment we have cash in tandem with digital currencies and the balance between the two is shifting in favour of digital money. The Covid-19 crisis helped to accelerate this process and more recently this process has been aided by the reduction in the number of cash machines available to us. All of the central banks around the world are currently working on the switch to a cashless system and it will be introduced very soon. Most people think this is great because it is being presented as a way of making life easier and more convenient. It is also being presented as a way of reducing fraud and making our financial transactions more secure. Obviously, I am writing this, not because I think this is wonderful, but because I see great danger in it and I want to warn you. After all, that’s what I do with a lot of my blogs. And you might be thinking, what could possible be wrong with a totally digital financial system?
Let me try to explain why this development should concern us. The main difference between cash and digital money is a matter of privacy. With digital transactions there is no privacy concerning our buying and selling. Every transaction we make is recorded by the banks. They know what money we are receiving and where it has come from and what we are buying and where we buy it from. At the same time all of the places we buy from whether online or on the high street have details of exactly what we bought and when we bought it. And I could go on with more examples. On the other hand, with cash there is complete privacy. There is no digital record of what we sold and what we bought. In most cases, all that exists are paper records in the form of receipts and contracts. Another important difference is a matter of control. With digital transactions it is possible for banks and businesses to control what we buy and sell. As we have seen recently in Canada, the banks have been used to freeze the accounts of the Freedom Convoy protesters and their supporters. This has stopped them from buy and selling. Then again more recently we have seen the banks being used to stop targeted Russians from buying and selling. This only affects digital transactions. It can’t be done with cash transactions. So, when cash is eliminated, banks, businesses, governments, authorities and any other institution will have the ability to exercise total control over our buying and selling. For those Christians familiar with the Book of Revelation this should sound alarm bells. In Revelation 13:16-17 John tells us that the Antichrist will, ‘cause all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on the forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.’ Now, you might be thinking to yourself that, although this will be possible, they won’t actually do it will they? Well, I would first of all like to remind you of what the banks and politicians have recently done to the Canadian truckers and Russians. And you should also know that it is going to be a more widespread practice once we go fully digital. A leading banking official revealed last year that the digital banking system they are developing for the UK will include an ability to control what we spend our money on. It will, for instance be used to limit how much we can spend on meats and fuel for our cars. It can also be used to control the geographical areas where we can spend our money. This is no conspiracy theory. Those developing the system are open about it. In the near future the digital banking system will be linked to the climate change agenda and will be used to force changes to are behaviour. As in China, it will also be linked to a social credit system it which the scope of our buying and selling will be determined by our social credit score.
So, this is what is coming and there is nothing we can do about it. That is why I am writing this so that you can be forewarned. And I am not the only Christian doing this. What we are witnessing is the setup of the financial system that the Antichrist will use during The Tribulation to control everyone’s buying and selling. It’s a control mechanism that he will use to force people to bend to his will and to bow down and worship him. However, this digital banking system can’t achieve this on its own. It needs to use other technologies that link all of us to this system and enables the system to be controlled by one man. And that is also in the process of being rapidly developed. The technology that will control the banking system is Artificial Intelligence which is now at a very advanced stage. And at the moment the technology that links us to the digital banking system is the smart phone. More and more people are using their smart phones for financial transactions and this is spreading rapidly. However, the ultimate solution that is currently being developed involves connecting our bodies to the digital financial system. For instance, in some countries, people are having RFID microchips implanted into their hands which connects them to the digital financial system. However, the ultimate goal, which is at an advanced state, is to connect the whole of our body, including our brain to the system. I believe that this is what the mark of the beast is. It is a technological system that connects us to the digital financial system through our hand or forehead.
To me this is a nightmare in the making, but for the vast majority of people, including Christians, this is something they will gladly embrace. This is because they will believe the deception that will lead to its introduction and be totally lacking in discernment. So, how should be respond to what is coming? Well, firstly we should be aware that true Christians will be raptured well before the Antichrist uses this system. However, we might still be here when the world goes cashless and we could start to find our buying and selling controlled. If that happens, then we need to trust the Lord that He will take care of us, and He will. At the same time, we should warn everyone that the only way to escape what is coming is to believe in Jesus and get saved before the money trap is sprung on us and it’s too late.
