The mark of the beast has always been a mysterious number. For years men have tried to figure out who the future beast will be by counting up the name of a prominent leader. The guess’ have ranged from kissinger to Reagan. All have added up to "666", yet all have failed to meet the criteria.
Most everyone has heard the number 666 and is familiar with the term "Mark of the Beast". Not very many people really know what it is all about. The Mark of the Beast will he the primary tool of the Antichrist in forcing compliance with the New World Order.
One of the key features of the world government of the Antichrist will he an economic system in which every person will have a number. Without this number an individual will not be able to buy or sell, The problem will be that, in order to obtain this number, one must pledge loyalty to the one-world government and the one-world religion which will by then he established.
The prophecy concerning this numbering system is found in Revelation 13:15-18:
"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both peak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that bath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six."
A cashless society is favorable in many respects. But the major strength of a cashless society is that it will be the main catalyst for eliminating theft. There would simply be no money to steal. But this will only be a by-product of what must be…total control.
The Bible predicted almost 2000 years ago that the beast would require everyone to have an identifying number. No one would be able to buy, sell or trade without this mark. This could be in the form of a computer chip, credit card or identifying mark.
A cashless society seems quite appealing due to present times. But all to startling is this article found in Readers Digest, November, 1976, Coming Soon: Electronic Money" by Ronald Schiller. In this article he explains all the benefits of the cashless society. His closing paragraph is the most startling: "In this new totally electronic age, the enforcement of financial obligations will present few difficulties, since failure to pay up could be disastrous. The culprit might even be forced to undergo what Electronic Fund Transfer men call ‘plastic surgery’--the cutting off of his bank cards. Economically speaking, this would make him a non-person." If there is no cash, and if an individual’s right to trade is suspended by putting a hold on his account in a computer system, this article says that person would economically become a non-person. This sounds startlingly like Revelation chapter 13--without the number a person will not be permitted to buy or sell! If an individual’s ability to buy and sell could be suspended for not paying his bills, could it also be suspended for refusing to embrace the New World Order and its conflict resolving one-world religion?!
