"Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin." Those chilling words appeared on the wall of Belshazzar's palace, spelling out his doom. And just like that fateful night in Babylon, I can't shake the feeling that we're staring down the barrel of biblical prophecy.
The technology is here. Cashless transactions, digital currency, embedded microchips - it all lines up with what the book of Revelation warned about 2,000 years ago. And now, as society hurtles towards a surveillance state, I'm terrified for my children's future.
The Book of Daniel: A Prophetic Warning
In the book of Daniel, we see a clear timeline of world empires and the rise of a global, authoritarian ruler - the Antichrist. Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the great statue, with its feet of iron and clay, foretold the fragmentation of power that we're witnessing today.
And now, the final kingdom - a blend of strength and weakness - is taking shape right before our eyes. The global elite are positioning themselves for total control, using technology as their instrument of power. Just as Daniel prophesied, "it shall be a divided kingdom."
The Mark of the Beast: Cashless Society
The book of Revelation paints an ominous picture of the end times - a time when no one will be able to buy or sell without the "mark of the beast" on their hand or forehead. And the disturbing reality is, we're barreling towards that very scenario.
Digital currency, embedded microchips, biometric scanning - the infrastructure for a totalitarian, cashless society is being erected all around us. The COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated this disturbing trend, as governments and corporations tighten their grip on our financial lives.
A Time of Testing
As a parent, I can't help but feel a deep sense of unease. We are living in perilous times, my friends. The handwriting is on the wall, and the prophetic timeline is unfolding before our very eyes.
Will we have the courage to stand firm in our faith, even as the world descends into darkness? The book of Revelation makes it clear - this will be a time of intense testing, a refining fire for those who hold fast to the truth.
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
