Cryptocurrency, another step towards the Mark of the Beast?!

Commentary By: Gordon King

Non-profit agencies are aiding starving Venezuelans by issuing them cryptocurrency in order to purchase much need food and medical supplies.  This in and of itself is a good thing, right?  I mean, people who are starving getting the help they need to survive.

This form of aid has also been used in the Middle East where the recipients don’t even have to carry a card, but instead only need to have their eye scanned in order to prove their identity.  This also sounds very good in that it’s much more difficult to have your money stolen, its a much safer way to secure your funds.

Not only that, but these people get financial aid much quicker than they would using regular means, in fact instantaneously!  Virtually millions of people in need could get the aid they need in a matter of seconds, that’s a good thing!

All of these things are good right?  People in need getting what they need in a matter of seconds and with increased security to boot!  I think it’s wonderful that people in need are benefiting from such technology around the world.  But then there are drawbacks as well.

What about those people who have no access to electronic devices?  In many situations this may leave them out in the cold.  How about things such as power outages or computer failures, without power these currencies don’t really work, or currencies could be wiped out in an instant if computers failed or were hacked.

But I believe that this technology will go even further than that, that it will be used for the purpose of evil instead of good!  This is the world that we live in, where things meant for good are turned for evil. 

These advancements in technology are intended for good, or are they?

As the world gets closer to the Tribulation period modern technology advances in leaps and bounds, exponentially upon itself.  What we believe is meant for good could be happening for the purpose of evil!  Things in this world are twisted, they are made to look good when underneath they are seething with evil.

The world will look upon the advancement of technology as purely a good thing, after-all, people are benefiting from it!  But what they don’t see is where it is leading, they don’t see the end goal nor do they really care.

The world is pushing for a cashless society, for the purpose of security and convenience.  We continue to see advancements in the use of online transactions, of electronic funding, and information in general such as medical information.  But it doesn’t stop there, the Elite seeks to not only stop the use of cash, but to have us buy, sell, and trade electronically without the use of even cards!  They tell us that it is in our best interests to have information stored in or on our bodies for safety, for our protection, in case of medical emergency, but also for our convenience.  This is where it’s headed, a cashless society, the use of a mark or an implanted chip of some sort in order to make purchases, to make transactions of all sorts, to receive medical help, to open doors, to start cars, in all aspects of society.  One mark, one chip to perform a multitude of tasks, how great would that be?!

The ironic thing is that the bible tells us that the Antichrist will force people to take a Mark in order to buy, sell, or trade, it’s also known as the Mark of the Beast!

So my question is this: “Did the modern technology of electronic transactions come about for our good, or was the end goal for the purpose of the Mark of the Beast?”

And even if the main goal was not for the Mark of the Beast, is this technology being used by malevolent beings for this purpose?  Satan uses and twists good things for his purpose.  He is a liar and a thief, a master manipulator, a con artist, a counterfeit!  I most definitely believe that he is.

Whether they know it or not, those of the world follow the ruler of this world, the god of this age, Satan!  They may not know all of the reasons why they do what they do, but they are manipulated by evil spirits.

We must be very careful about advancements in technology, about what appears good on the outside, about apparent reasons for why things are done.  Satan is a master at making things look good on the outside, about leading people astray, after-all, he comes dressed as an angel of light, a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Modern technology can and is being used for good things, used to help people in need.  But let us not forget what the bible tells us will happen during the end times, and if technology has advanced this far then how close are we to the beginning of the Tribulation period?  Let us be aware of what is happening around us at all times as to not be led astray!

God bless my friends!  Maranatha!
