Just as the the dragon, beast, and name the chosen of God receive on their foreheads in the book of Revelation are all symbols, so in likewise the mark of the beast is a symbol, referring to something that would come into existence that would break the command of God "you shall have righteous weights and quantities", which today is fulfilled through paper money and fiat currency, because unlike gold and silver with true intrinsic value, which are true money, paper money is devalued at the advantage of those who issue it, because it has no true intrinsic value, because it is merely paper. That is why in Egypt their daily minimum wage in EGP is enough to buy food for one day in a rich country like the US. They are utterly impoverished through the global financial system of fiat currency the world has adopted in the last 100 years. This is why whoever does commerce with this form of money will deserve to be thrown into the lake of fire, because those who use it daily are just as guilty as those who issue it, because fiat currency can only exist by the mutal consent of the people who use it daily.
I would tend to say that you are partially correct.
Money will be the issue, but not in its present form.
.
When it does become fully digitized, as is crypto-currency, such as "Bit-Coin" etc., then we all shall and should be concerned, because then "fiat money" will be outlawed, and everything of money will be "electronic transfers", requiring a personal ID, such as an implanted computer RFID chip.
.
So for now, what you are saying is, you don't use "money" at all?
How about this pun:
People who a "right handed", use the left side of their brain, and people who are "left handed", use the right side of their brain.
Therefore, shall we conclude that all left handed people "are in their right mind",
and that all right handed people are "of their father the devil"? LOL.
.
No, we are not there yet, but we are very close to it, for it to becoming a reality very soon.
I believe that we are waiting on a
"trigger", a major catastrophic biblical event, that will bring the MoB about.
That event is in the vicinity of the
Euphrates River region. Rev. 9:13-21
[
14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
[
15] And the four angels were loosed, which were
prepared for an hour, and
a day, and
a month, and
a year, for
to slay [kill] the third part of men.
> that is descriptive of
a specific date in time, whereby
33% of the world pop. are killed off.
Shall we say in one hour?
I believe so! The technology of weaponry is capable of doing it.
.
[
16] And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
We all have been watching it build for a number of years now, but because of heavy and erroneous "religious indoctrination", many Christians will be "blind sided", when it does take place.
.
THEN shall the MoB be implemented, but for no other reason, except to keep the "world economy" going, and to
re-unify the REMAINING population,
under THEIR new economic paradigm, of a global New World Order, being their view of a "Millennium on earth".
[
20]
And the rest of the men which were NOT killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
[
21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
