Are Stablecoins and Biometrics Paving the Way for the "Mark of the Beast"?

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.

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
