The Mark And Central Bank Digital Currency

Central Bank Digital Currency

Todd Strandberg

In the mid-1990s, this was a great deal of interest in the subject of the mark of the beast because of the elopement of a microchip the size of a grain of rice. This tiny computer could transmit data via radio waves. A handheld reader could pass over the chip, and it would transmit the chip’s ID number.

This chip was a perfect match for the finances that the Antichrist will establish. If you don’t have your implant in your right hand or forehead, no food for you. Prophecy teachers warned that the mark could be rolled out in a few shorts or months. The only thing lacking was the political will to force everyone to take the chip.

There was a huge problem with these implants. We simply did not have the financial infrastructure to roll out a system of 100% digital currency. An honest prophecy teacher would admit that a true mark would require several years of development. The Federal Reserve and the Treasury move very slowly on changes to our money.

We have now arrived at the point where digital currency is a reality. The Fed is in the final stages of testing a digital currency. Fed governors are openly talking about the advantages of having digital money.

If we have a financial crisis, the Feds can quickly step in and fund the banking system with electronic cash. 

After the Federal Reserve declined to guarantee its loans as it did for Bear Stearns, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers triggered a cascade of other firms to become insolvent. From Lehman Brothers on, no other large financial firm was allowed to go into bankruptcy.

In the 1990s, polls showed that most people had a very negative view of having a chip injected into their bodies. Today, most people have a positive view of the mark of the Beast system. The government would have people lined up for miles if it were made known that people would get extra digital units as yet another stimulus package. People would be literally selling their souls to the devil just to get a $500 bonus.

Another thing appealing about a new digital currency is that it would have no debt. The US dollar is saddled with a $31 trillion mountain of debt. Any new currency would have no responsibility for the old debt. 

Governments have time and time again reduced their debt burden by limiting the convertibility of old currency for new ones. If you had $1 million and you are only allowed to convert $100,000 per month, inflation could rob you of your purchasing power by the time the 12-month period has passed.

A digital currency would be very appealing to the government. They could force people to spend money in case of a financial slowdown by putting an expiration date on their money. There would be no tax cheats with no way to hide your digital wealth. The government could lock up the accounts of troublemakers. 

Canada froze the banking accounts of several trucker protestors last year. It took a bit of research to get the names of the truckers, find their bank accounts, and have them frozen. With a digital currency, a financial lockdown could take place with the push of a single button.

“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. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six” (Revelation 13:16-18).
