The Fourth Beast: The Cashless Monetary System

A Microchip: The potential mark of the Beast?

New technology is often analogous to a full moon: It has its light side and its dark side.

For example, the NSA (National Security Administration) possesses some of the most sophisticated espionage tools in the world. That technology has enabled the NSA to intercept communications between terrorists and their organizations to thwart planned attacks that could have killed many people.

Unfortunately, that technology has also been used by the U.S. government to invade the personal lives of its political and ideological opponents. (See Edward Snowden) Thus, the very technology that has kept us safe has also been used as a political weapon.

And so, when a global government eventually arises at some point in the future, a new advanced electronic monetary system is going to be implemented that will eliminate cash, coins, checks, credit and debit cards, and ATM machines. 

This new system will be promoted to the world as the ultimate solution that will do away with identity theft, credit card fraud, check forgery, counterfeiting, armed robberies, bank robberies, drug cartels, prostitution etc. 

The system will be so elaborate that it will be virtually impossible to cheat. In what way? It will probably feature either a tiny microchip or a radio frequency identification patch that will be implanted in the skin. 

And this device will be programmed with software that will contain the vital information of each person it's implanted in. Very possibly, this chip or computerized skin-patch could be matched to a person's DNA so that it will only recognize the person it's assigned to. If the device is removed or stolen from its host, it will immediately deactivate. 

And what sort of information will these devices contain? They will contain a person's identification, address, place of employment, medical history, any criminal background and economic information.

And these devices will enable a person to buy, sell and transact all of their economic and financial business. The devices will also have a GPS feature that will allow its users to be tracked wherever they are in the world.

Thus the dark side of this technology: A powerful world leader will eventually use this technology to force everyone to worship him and swear allegiance to his government if they want to receive the device. Those who reject his terms will be denied the device and they will be forced to survive on their own instincts.

Who is this powerful world leader? He is the Antichrist. And according to the apostle John, who recorded the Revelation in about 90 A.D., this diabolical leader will force "all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name." (Revelation 13:16-17)

John revealed that this will be the economic system of a one-world government. John's revelation didn't make any sense in the 1st century. But it makes perfect sense in 21st century. And we now have the technology to implement such an economic system.

And like the proverbial full moon, this technology has a light side and a very dark side. And that dark side will be used by an evil world leader to persecute Christians worldwide.

In the next installment, the meaning of the mark, or the dreaded number 666.
