16 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:
17 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. Rev 13
We
all know the mark is coming because God says it will, but it is another matter
altogether when it is “knocking on your door.” I ran across an article that
presents information about the coming stablecoin digital ID financial system
that I liken to the mark “knocking on the door.” Here are some pertinent parts.
Following
the creation of a digital dollar framework in July, the Trump administration is
now creating the tools needed to facilitate those digital dollars, also
referred to as stablecoins and tokenized asset deposits, as it seeks to create
a nationally approved digital ID system for the U.S. that can safely store
Americans’ tokenized ‘money’ and digital assets…
this
brings us full-circle to the digital IDs. In order to make this new financial
paradigm work, “privacy tools,” as the White House calls them, are needed to
‘protect’ the end-users. “Regulated intermediaries need to be able to identify
customers, report suspicious activities, and freeze or block certain
transactions in line with their BSA and sanctions obligations,” writes the
Working Group.20 To do this, they recommend biometric digital ID - exactly what
the United Nations is calling for…
So,
while the country is once again enamored and distracted with the culture wars
and the bread & circuses, the Trump administration is preparing to
instigate forms of digital IDs to store these tokens and new forms of “money”
called stablecoins, a privatized CBDC.

Administration Moves To Create Digital ID To Facilitate Digital Dollar And
Tokenized Assets In Loss Of Financial Freedom
So,
it is easy to see that it is coming—a digital ID and digital money is “knocking
on the door.” When will all of this come about is the question.
The
Bible does give us a time frame for its occurrence; it tells us that the mark
comes about after the opening of the fifth seal and the takeover of the world
by the antichrist. Further from my research I believe it will most likely be in the near future and probably after some kind of financial calamity, such as Seal 3.
And how is the economy doing?
The mark is coming, and it will probably be part of the antichrist's "solution" to the world's collapsed economy. And all who take the mark will incur a terrible fate.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his
forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which
is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in
the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and
ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image,
and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev 14
Most
Christians believe that they will not be here to see the mark of the beast.
However, this is not true, Christians will be here, because the rapture will not occur until the sixth seal is opened.
This
was made clear by God through the apostle Paul in his address to the
Thessalonians. You see the Thessalonians wrongly thought that they were in the
Day of the Lord period and that they had missed the rapture. Paul corrected
their wrong belief by telling them that certain events must occur BEFORE the
raptue and the Day of the Lord.
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by
spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at
hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2
So
God tells them that the falling away, the revealing of the antichrist, and the
abomination of desolation must occur before the Day of Christ/rapture.
The
mark is coming and it will be before the rapture. Let us seek the Lord now in
prayer as to how best to navigate through that tumultuous time when we will not
be able to buy or sell.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before
the Son of man. Luke 21:36
