Not necessarily, but could it not open a door that inevitably leads down that path?
No, it doesn't.
Sometimes one country makes a decision and those decisions can spread, too. Just a bit of food for thought.No, it doesn't.
Wrong side of the world. The beast resides in the middle east, not north America. The only people who recieve the mark of the beast are those who followed after it.
The beast once existed before 96 AD.
It did not exist when John wrote revelation.
It does today and people from all over the world, have followed after it so as to live under his reign.
Soon he will be marking his subjects as a king would his slaves.
1 Samuel 8:17 - Samuel's Warning
He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.biblehub.com1 Samuel 8:18 - Samuel's Warning
When that day comes, you will beg for relief from the king you have chosen, but the LORD will not answer you on that day.biblehub.com
They rejected the Lord when he came to be thier king, now they have chosen thier own.
For this cause, when Abraham, Issac, and Jacob enter the kingdom of heaven, they themselves will be cast out. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
And sometimes it doesn't.
I usually don't interfere with the communications from one to another, but I just wanted to interject this thought. We are going cashless even if it's by the private sector (e.g. bit coin). In a sense, we already have been for years now as we merely swipe our credit or debit cards. The employer (or retirement fund) moves funds into your account, and that account is used to transfer payment to others, so when do we ever see any cash? It's a numbers game. The thing is that by owning an account it can be frozen at a whim (even if the owner is in the right can be a legal hassle to unfreeze it). Bit coin bypasses all that. As a matter of fact, I would not even be surprised if the introduction of an eventual mark is done in the private sector. The issue is that the control freaky governments then do not have power over it as this moves things toward decentralization - thus the reaction by this executive order. So I see this as a power grab to somehow control it the same way they can control an account. Bit coin is in effect like electronic barter trade without the need for banks and governments.Going to a cashless currency that can be “turned off” by the government has nothing to do with the end times?
The United States is not going cashless. Whoever told you it was is simply wrong.Going to a cashless currency that can be “turned off” by the government has nothing to do with the end times?
There is no one world goverment in scripture.
Actually, I agree with you and am a bit sloppy with my words. I do believe there will be an attempt at such and a charismatic leader, however, it quickly turns sour. Yes, in bible prophecy it is quite clear that the nations retain their identity. To give a present day example, there is hysteria (and for that matter a new religion) dealing with the environment. A lot of what's going on with the energy sector and prices along with shortages and so forth is in the name of climate change. This, in turn, like the COVID situation, leans toward a one mindset in which a leader could take control. However, the difference between nations is very real and unchangeable and turned bad. Thus the uprisings we see. One day it will get much worse.There is no one world goverment in scripture.
Does not the fact that Jesus Christ himself said nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom at the time of the end not tell you anything?
Matthew 24:7 - Signs of the End of the Age
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.biblehub.com
After the Muslims nations have attacked Israel and the United States, and then United States nukes them all you will still not realize there is no one world goverment.
You say, "Sometimes it's a wrath against certain people," and had to quote pregnant women/nursing mothers...man, their lives are hard as it is, but destruction in the world can definitely make it worse.And sometimes it doesn't.
Luke 21:23 - The Destruction of Jerusalem
How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! For there will be great distress upon the land and wrath against this people.biblehub.com
Sometimes it's just wrath against a certain people and not the entire world.
Yes, one thing can effect another. I fully expect after the Muslim nations destroy Israel and attack the US, and after the US utterly destroys all of the middle east using nukes that gas prices will rise globally. I expect the price of gas to even increase in China.
