Things To Come: Central Bank Digital Currencies, Tokenized Assets And Digital ID

This is the End Times Financial System

Britt Gillette

Part 1: Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC)

The Book of Revelation describes an end times financial system often referred to as “the mark of the beast system”:

“He required everyone – small and great, rich and poor, free and slave – to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.” Revelation 13:16-17 (NLT)

The construction of a system identical to the mark of the beast system in capability and function is underway right now. It’s primarily composed of three elements:

1) Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)

2) Tokenized Assets

3) Digital IDs

In Part 1 of this series, we look at central bank digital currency (CBDC) – what it is, what’s happening right now (its current roll-out status), and why the public will buy into the idea they need it.

Make no mistake, this system is designed as a trap to enslave the people within it. And while I believe the rapture of the church will take place before the mark of the beast system appears during the Tribulation, the infrastructure for such a system is under construction right now. That means, as Christians, we may experience some or all of the elements of this system before we depart this world, so make sure you’re prepared.

The first element in this tyrannical end times financial system is central bank digital currency (CBDC). CBDC is centralized, digital fiat currency. But unlike the government fiat currency of the past, CBDC is fully programmable.

This means central banks can manipulate it in real-time. They have the ability to raise and lower interest rates on your currency in real-time. They have the ability to put restrictions on your currency in real-time, such as where you can spend it and on what. In addition, with CBDC, the government has full insight into every financial transaction you make. And they also have full control over the currency itself, meaning they could cancel your ability to use it at any time.

Step 2: Tokenized Assets

The second element of the end times financial system they’re planning to roll out is asset tokenization. Tokenized assets are real world assets placed on a blockchain. Blockchain, or distributed ledger technology, securely stores records across the nodes of a computer network. Decentralized distributed ledger technology is what underpins the Bitcoin network, but it can be used to store digital tokens representing almost anything imaginable.

A digital token can be created on the blockchain to represent any physical object, real world asset, or property. But what makes tokenized assets different from other blockchain tokens is they convert the legal ownership rights of those real world assets into blockchain tokens which can be bought and sold seamlessly.

“Tokenization of real-world assets: It’s quite a mouthful, but what does it mean? The short answer is that it’s digital proof of ownership of an asset, represented by a token (or tokens) on a blockchain.

Asset tokenization has the potential to not only replace or enhance current ownership validation methods (such as deeds, titles, or copyrights), but could also allow for easier division of ownership interest.”

In other words, instead of your proof of ownership residing at the local courthouse (land title), department of motor vehicles (vehicle title), or brokerage house (stock certificate), proof of ownership will reside on the blockchain.

This opens the door to digitizing every asset on earth. Some of the possibilities include:

Step 3: Digital Identification

“He required everyone – small and great, rich and poor, free and slave – to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.” Revelation 13:16-17 (NLT)

The construction of a system identical in capability and function is underway right now. It’s primarily composed of three elements:

In Part 3, we look at digital IDs – what are they, what’s happening right now (current status), and why the public will buy into the idea they need them.

Make no mistake, this system is designed as a trap to enslave the people within it. And while I believe the rapture of the church will take place before the mark of the beast system appears during the Tribulation, the infrastructure for such a system is under construction right now. That means, as Christians, we may experience some or all of the elements of this system before we depart this world, so make sure you’re prepared.

Simply put, a digital ID is an electronic representation of personally identifying information that can be used to verify the identity of a person. It can contain digital versions of various identification documents, such as driver’s licenses, birth certificates, medical records, and other information unique to a specific person.

Ultimately, governments will roll out digital ID’s as a means to verify the identities of those transacting in central bank digital currency (CBDC) and tokenized assets. They’ll claim digital ID’s are necessary to prevent fraud and abuse. But because digital ID’s will centralize all information associated with an individual, they’ll actually make a person more vulnerable to identity theft. A single hack, and every aspect of your life is compromised.

In reality, digital ID isn’t about what’s best for you – it’s about what’s best for government. By centralizing all information associated with you as an individual, it streamlines their ability to surveil and control your life.

For example, governments are increasingly pushing digital IDs as a means of eliminating anonymous Internet posts.

Digital ID systems give governments centralized access to massive amounts of their citizens’ personal data, insight into all their activities, the ability to track and surveil every aspect of a person’s life, and the ability to cut off access to vital services once digital ID becomes a necessary precondition for accessing those services.

As Think.Digital Partners states:

“Since 2015, 98 countries have announced plans to create national digital ID systems.

In April 2024, the United Nations announced that it was creating UN Digital ID in an attempt to make a universally interoperable global digital identity framework. One month later, the European Union passed eIDAS 2.0, a standardised framework for digital identity management.

Many countries have already launched digital ID systems. India launched Aadhaar, Australia launched the Government Digital ID System, the UAE launched UAE PASS. The UK government’s digital identity system is GOV.UK OneLogin.”

Again, “98 countries have announced plans to create national digital ID systems,” and some have already rolled them out.

Poland is one of those countries. As The Guardian reports:

“Much is being said about Poland’s economy potentially overtaking Britain by 2030, but in some areas Poles are already ahead.

They can produce a digital identity card or driving licence and use an array of public services using a mobile app, mObywatel. When accessing it for the first time, users have to verify their identity by logging into electronic banking, using a digitally enabled physical ID card, or through a special “trusted profile” online.
