Unfortunately, this thread has gone the way of all other eschatological threads...a deep dive into clairvoyance and futurism, which one can find literally everywhere on every thread in the prophecy section. I am as guilty as anyone, so easy to argue over matters yet in the future which the Bible speaks of in figures and types and symbols, which can only be understood after they've come to pass. The symbols give us clues and helps us to identify the main players. And as we watch those main players in real time politics and current events, then we can come to a better understanding of how things will play out, but there will always be room for surprises. So. Back to the OP.
Many nations in the world working feverishly toward a common goal, a global digital currency, backed and encouraged by the WEF and the major financial institutions including reserve banks. This is taking place in real time, right now, and the speed with which this is taking place is increasing exponentially. The power to switch off economic life support to all who don't submit to the conditions attached to participation in this brave new world order, will soon be in the hands of our enemies and there is nothing we can do about it. It's prophesied and it's happening.
There are other global initiatives we ought to be aware of also, because they are all intricately linked through numerous agencies and government and non-government institutions and quasi government cooperatives, all working together in harmony toward the one goal. Enslavement of the world. Feudalism restored. I don't think we're talking about the future now. This is now.
