Things To Come: Global Control Of Money And Global Surveillance

John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead


No matter how much money the government pulls in, it’s never enough, so the government has come up with a new plan to make it even easier for its agents to seize Americans’ bank accounts.

Make way for the digital dollar.

In an Executive Order issued on March 9, 2022, President Biden called for the federal government to consider establishing a “U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).”

Similar to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, CBDCs would also be a form of digital money, but there the resemblance ends. If adopted, CBDCs would be issued by the Federal Reserve, the central banking system for the U.S. government. One CBDC digital dollar would equal the value of a physical dollar. And like the physical dollar, which ceased to be backed by gold more than 50 years ago, the CBDC would be considered a government-issued fiat currency that is backed by the strength and credit of the U.S. government. (Of course, that’s not saying much considering that much of the time, the U.S. government operates in the red.)

Although government agencies have six months to weigh in on the advantages and disadvantages of a centralized digital currency, it’s as good as a done deal.

For instance, three weeks before the Biden Administration made headlines with its support for a government-issued digital currency, the FBI and the Justice Department quietly moved ahead with plans for a cryptocurrency enforcement team (translation: digital money cops), a virtual asset exploitation unit tasked with investigating crypto crimes and seizing virtual assets, and a crypto czar to oversee it all.

No surprises here, of course.

This is how the government operates: by giving us tools to make our lives “easier” while, in the process, making it easier for the government to track, control and punish the citizenry.

Indeed, this shift to a digital currency is a global trend.

More than 100 other countries are considering introducing their own digital currencies.

China has already adopted a government-issued digital currency, which not only allows it to surveil and seize people’s financial transactions, but can also work in tandem with its social credit score system to punish individuals for moral lapses and social transgressions (and reward them for adhering to government-sanctioned behavior). As China expert Akram Keram wrote for The Washington Post, “With digital yuan, the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] will have direct control over and access to the financial lives of individuals, without the need to strong-arm intermediary financial entities. In a digital-yuan-consumed society, the government easily could suspend the digital wallets of dissidents and human rights activists.”

Inevitably, a digital currency will become part of our economy and a central part of the government’s surveillance efforts.


Combine that with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) initiatives that are tantamount to social media credit scores for corporations, and you will find that we’re traveling the same road as China towards digital authoritarianism. As journalist Jon Brookin warns: “Digital currency issued by a central bank can be used as a tool for government surveillance of citizens and control over their financial transactions.”

As such, digital currency provides the government and its corporate partners with a mode of commerce that can easily be monitored, tracked, tabulated, mined for data, hacked, hijacked and confiscated when convenient.

This push for a digital currency dovetails with the government’s war on cash, which it has been subtly waging for some time now. Much like the war on drugs and the war on terror, this so-called “war on cash” has been sold to the public as a means of fighting terrorists, drug dealers, tax evaders and more recently, COVID-19 germs.






Spirit of the AC
Dr. Nathan E. Jones


To help us answer this question which we began in Part 1, we are joined by Dr. J.B. Hixson, a pastor from Sedalia, Colorado, and the founder of Not By Works Ministries. Dr. Hixson wrote a two-volume book titled Spirit of the Antichrist which we will use as the basis for this discussion.

The two biggest happenings that come to mind would be the advent of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the Mark of the Beast, both right out of Revelation 13.


Digital currencies could be used to prevent people from buying or selling without government approval, and that’s what Central Bank Digital Currencies are all about. A big test of these currencies was recently run. Now there’s talk about rolling CBDCs out globally this year in 2023. Globalists want to do away with cash entirely. They want everybody to carry a digital passport that will be loaded with money, except these will all be entitlements that we get instead of a check in the mail. The money will just be credited, but it will have expiration dates. The digital passport will tell you where you can buy and sell. If you go ten miles from your home, and the powers that be don’t want you to buy there, the digital passport will shut you off from the ability to buy and sell.


For years people have theorized just what technology the Mark of the Beast will utilize, say RFID chips or UPC symbols or whatever. But, what is different about digital currencies is that for the first time the elites of the World Economic Forum — the Klaus Schwabs and Yuval Noah Hararis of the world — they are actually saying out loud that they intend to use digital currencies to control commerce and to keep people in line by controlling their buying and selling. Well, that’s right out of Revelation 13!



Nathan Jones: Who do these elitists think they are? While we will own nothing and be happy, to quote the WEF, they will own everything?


J.B. Hixson: Totally, yes. Even with UPC symbols that are being used in inventory checking, while the WEF never came right out and said they were going to use this technology to keep you from buying and selling, well now they are stating their intentions openly.


Tim Moore: Yes, the World Economic Forum is shameless in announcing its ambitions at this point. In a grand scheme of end times signs, which our ministry organizes into six categories of signs, what we’re discussing falls under the end times sign of technology. So, to a degree, this modern technology, whether it be cryptocurrency, digital currency, or whether it is the Surveillance State assuming power and granting it to just a handful of elitists, all these happenings are very recent. This gives Christians today an understanding of prophecy and a discernment of the times that not even the Old Testament prophets themselves could not have ever imagined, let alone our parents and grandparents.

J.B. Hixson: The end times state is being set, just as Jesus foretold. Christ rebuked the first-century Jewish leaders for not being able to discern the signs of the times, and so we do not want to make the same mistake. For that very reason, we look closely at the signs of the times that mark the soon return of Jesus Christ. We are not claiming that we can set a date for our Lord’s return, just saying that the stage is being set.


So, you can control a society by controlling its money, but global surveillance provides the second prong in achieving absolute control. Global surveillance arms a police state.
