China Rolls Out Pilot Test of Digital Currency<\/h2>\n

Milestone for world\u2019s biggest central banks in path toward launching electronic payment system<\/h3>\n

BEIJING\u2014China\u2019s central bank has introduced a homegrown digital currency across four cities as part of a pilot program, marking a milestone on the path toward the first electronic payment system by a major central bank. 04\/20\/20 https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/china-rolls-out-pilot-test-of-digital-currency-11587385339<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Supporters Of Digital Currency Say Pandemic Bolsters Case For A New Approach<\/h2>\n

Widespread unemployment and economic turmoil as a result of the coronavirus pandemic mean people are looking for government relief fast, which some say could open up the possibility for a new approach: digital currency. …<\/p>\n

As chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., drafted a provision<\/a> in an early version of the relief package that called for digital “wallets” for people without bank accounts. The measure did not make it into the final legislation.<\/p>\n

Digital currency could also cut the lag time of mailing a check or even transferring funds into a traditional account. Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., said the COVID-19 crisis is showing the country that being able to transfer money virtually means they get help faster.<\/p>\n

People who are relying on the paper process for their small business loans or $1,200 payments could be waiting months, he said, which could give people an excuse to look toward the future. https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/04\/19\/837619834\/supporters-of-digital-currency-say-pandemic-bolsters-case-for-a-new-approach<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The reality is that there are MANY problems with going completely digital. Consider also that anything that can be placed in an account electronically, can be removed electronically.<\/p>\n

Notice the following from three years ago via Capt. William E Simpson of Western Journalism.com<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Is The Tyranny Of A Cashless Society Coming? \u2026
\n<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking to a future in which governments abolish cash in useful denominations, it follows that they will then focus on eliminating personal and commercial commerce through the use of compact high-value commodities such as gold and silver, a natural progression if $100 bills are taken out of circulation in the United States. \u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The relatively few people who may ultimately control all of the digital wealth of Americans will virtually have control of all the people in a cashless society. This results in a definite loss of freedom and liberty. \u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Digital currency transactions in lieu of cash would allow virtually 100 percent tracking of all Americans, including law-abiding citizens and all that we do. \u2026<\/p>\n

If the minds behind a cashless society are allowed to have their way, America would become little more a monumental ant farm, where the elitist class studies Americans to a much greater extent than ever before \u2014 how we move around and what we do, use, eat, watch and listen to \u2014 and then uses this deeply insightful personal information, potentially to plot how to control everyone. Things like if we\u2019re allowed to be born (abortions already control this to some extent), how long we get to live, and what we are allowed to do in between. Orwellian, yes, but possible nonetheless. \u2026<\/p>\n

Even as much as many Americans admire and respect President Donald Trump, the Marxist-socialist momentum that has already metastasized<\/a> in America might be too much for him and his team to overcome.\u00a0 \u2026 pray for the best, but adequately prepare for the worst. 02\/23\/17 http:\/\/www.westernjournalism.com\/tyranny-cashless-society-coming\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wrote years ago that I did not believe that the USA could go totally cashless in the first term of a Donald Trump presidency as he received most of the evangelical vote, wanted to run again, and would realize that the Evangelicals would have major prophetic concerns if he were to do so.<\/p>\n

Now, however, the excuse of COVID-19 is further setting the stage for more governmental controls.<\/p>\n

And this is not just a Chinese or American project.<\/p>\n

The Bible shows that totalitarian controls, including related to religion, are coming to Europe:<\/p>\n

1 <\/b><\/span>And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2 <\/b><\/span>And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear\u2019s, and its mouth was like a lion\u2019s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. (Revelation 13:1-2, ESV)<\/p>\n

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.<\/p>\n

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:11-18)<\/p>\n

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The type of controls prophesied in Revelation 13:16-18 was something that was not possible when Jesus<\/a> had the Apostle John<\/a> pen the above. But it is possible now with technology.<\/p>\n

Digital passports and\/or some type of national identity card may well be tools of the Beast of the Sea (the man of sin) and the Beast from the Earth (the final Antichrist).<\/p>\n

The time of controlling buying and selling-666-is coming.<\/p>\n

Some, have long wanted that.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, even before COVID-19, Europe has been in the process of putting together what may become the enforcer of controlling buying and selling. We put together the following video related to that:<\/p>\n

EU Setting Up 666 Enforcer?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The European Union is in the process of establishing the European Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office.This is a major, first-of-its-kind move, with the EU setting up a European-wide prosecutor\u2019s office that will have power to investigate and charge people for financial crimes committed against the EU. It looks like this type of office may end up persecuting those that do not have the mark of the Beast when they \u201cbuy or sell\u201d as that will later be considered a financial crime in Europe. What does 666 mean? How has that name be calculated? How can we be certain that this is a prophecy for Europe and not Islam? Is the appointment of this new office of significant prophetic importance? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more by pointing to scriptures, news items, and historical accounts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sweden continues to reduce the amount of currency notes and coins in circulation as more and more Swedes turn to digital forms of payments. Even \u2018farmers\u2019 markets\u2019 take debit and credit cards. Will this eliminate crime or lead to the rise of the Beast and Antichrist power? Could what is happening in Sweden be a prelude to the control of buying and selling that Revelation 13:16-18 associates with 666? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues from Stockholm, Sweden.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 Leading to 666?<\/a><\/h3>\n

The novel coronavirus of Wuhan, China fame, is now called COVID-19. It has also been called the \u2018Coronapocalypse.\u2019 Does COVID-19 have any prophetic ramifications? What did Jesus teach about pestilences and sorrows in the Olivet prophecy in Matthew 24? Could COVID-19 be the ride of the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse? Why was this type of disease expected according to the Old Testament prophecies in Deuteronomy and Leviticus? What has the US Centers for Disease Control warned about? What has the CDC reported about the flu? Were there lessons about fear and infections in the 2011 movie \u2018Contagion\u2019? Because of COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO), nation of Iran, and certain French locations are telling people not to use cash, but instead electronic forms of payment. The US Federal Reserve is now quarantining money repatriated from Asia to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus on US currency bills. Is COVID-19 worse than we have been told or could this all be a \u2018false flag\u2019 event to encourage people to move towards a cashless society? If the thousands of deaths associated with COVID-19 are pushing parts of the world towards cashlessness, how much more likely will the ride of the fourth horseman and over a billion human deaths motivate people to move to making electronic payments that can be monitored? The Bible tells of a soon coming society that controls buying and selling to force allegiance to a coming European Beast power, known as 666 (Revelation <\/span>13:16-18). Does the \u2018great tribulation\u2019 begin before ride of the fourth horseman or with the opening of the fifth seal of Revelation 6? Do the words of Jesus helps us better understand the sequence of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and the start of the Great Tribulation? Will the ride of the fourth horseman help lead to the rise of 666? Is that ride very close? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pushes towards surveillance, digital immunity passports, social distancing, closed businesses, closed schools, closed churches, travel restrictions, and digital currency, are all consistent with the type of totalitarian controls that the Beast of Revelation will implement.<\/p>\n

Fourth Horseman, COVID, and the Rise of the Beast of Revelation<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 6th chapter of the Book of Revelation tells of the ride of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. What do each represent? Is the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, part of the fourth horseman? Does the Bible point to around 2 billion people dying from hunger, war, and the beasts of the earth? Was the ancient Roman Empire impacted by pestilences? What about the black death, also known as the Bubonic plague? Are disease epidemics part of the beginning of sorrow and troubles that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24 and Mark 13? Does the pale green horseman represent Islam? Could genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or synthetic biology cause or contribute to coming pandemics? Is chemical and biological warfare (CBW) a real threat to humanity? What about a doomsday bug or antibiotic resistant superbugs? Is fear a contagion that will help people move away from democracy? Will scientists be able to stop what is coming? Is the good news that the Kingdom of God will? Could COVID-19 be setting the stage for the rise of the \u2018prince,\u2019 who will become the totalitarian Beast of the Sea (also known as 666 and the King of the North)? Is this leader similar to the Great Monarch of Greco-Roman Catholic prophecies? When is the Great Monarch supposed to arise according to the Eastern Orthodox? Why might Europe be less affected by the ride of the third horseman that the US, Canada, and the UK? Are governments taking steps now, consistent with the words of Adolf Hitler? What seal represents the start of the Great Tribulation? Which Christians did Jesus promise to protect from the coming \u201chour of trial\u201d? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nCOVID 19 is NOT the End, but could it be TEOTWAWKI?<\/a> The novel coronavirus called COVID-19 is wreaking havoc around the world.

In Spain, drones are being used to warn people who are outside to got back to their homes\u2013does that bring up feelings of \u2018Big Brother\u2019? Italy, France, and other areas are using police and\/or military force to encourage people to stay inside. According to the Bible could this be the end? If not, what has to happen first? Have the second and third of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse started their ride? Could COVID-19 be the fourth horseman? Why or why not? Could we be seeing The End of the World as We Know It (TEOTWAKI) like the R.E.M.\u2019s 1987 single song discussed? Do Christians need to fear? What did Jesus teach? What did the Psalmist teach?

\nOrwell\u2019s 1984 by 2024?<\/a> In 1949, the late George Orwell wrote a disturbing book about a totalitarian government called \u201cnineteen-eighty four.\u201d Despite laws that are supposed to protect freedom of speech and religion, we are seeing governments taking steps consistent with those that George Orwell warned against. We are also seeing this in the media, academia, and in private companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. With the advent of technology, totalitarianism beyond what Orwell wrote is possible. Does the Bible teach the coming a totalitarian state similar to George Orwell\u2019s? What about the Antichrist and 666? Will things get worse? What is the solution? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more in this video.
\nCanadian censoring of the Bible<\/a> In 2017, Lauri Skori of the Battle River School board told a religious school in Alberta, Canada that it could not teach\/read certain portions of the Bible. In 2002, a court in Canada ruled against one who referred to certain scriptures that some homosexuals objected to. In 2017, there was \u201cAn Act to Amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and Criminal Code\u201d related to those who wish to be considered transgendered.

Is this possible? What does the Bible teach? Here is a related YouTube video: Military Technology and the Beast of Revelation<\/span><\/a>.
\nSome Doctrines of Antichrist<\/a> Are there any doctrines taught outside the Churches of God which can be considered as doctrines of antichrist? This article suggests at least three.

\nMust the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?<\/a> Some claim that these passages refer to a gathering of 10 currently existing nations together, while one group teaches that this is referring to 11 nations getting together. Is that what Revelation 17:12-13 refers to? The ramifications of misunderstanding this are enormous. A related sermon is titled Ten Kings of Revelation and the Great Tribulation<\/a>.
\nBiological Warfare and Prophecy<\/a>. Is biological warfare possible? Was it prophesied? Scientists have long warned that pathogenic organisms like the coronavirus could be weaponized. Furthermore, back in 2017, there were concerns that the biological research facility being constructed in Wuhan, China was risky and that a coronavirus from it could be released. On January 25, 2020, China\u2019s President Xi Jinping publicly stated that the situation with the Wuhan-related strain of the coronavirus was grave.
