Revelation 6:5-6 (NIV) When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!
Revelation 13:16-18 (NIV) It (the False Prophet) also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
A world economic collapse is inevitable. Most countries currently carry more debt than their GDP. Money is being printed at a record pace. Government handouts to support a socialist or communist regime seem to be never ending. Modern military equipment is not cheap. A single fighter jet can cost more than a quarter billion dollars. An aircraft carrier can cost up to $10 billion. Each nuclear weapon can cost more than $5 billion dollars. Countries will continue to run up debt knowing this practice is not sustainable. At some point the government will fail under the weight of its debt. I say this, not because a world economic collapse is currently imminent, but because there will be a solitary event that will collapse economic systems around the world. The initial salvo of World War III will be the single event that forces people to pay "two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages.” Prices will spike as food becomes scarce.
Even though digital currency does not, in any way, contribute to the world economic collapse it is the economic system in place at the time when hyperinflation will be driving costs so high many will not be able to afford basic necessities. Digital currency is nothing more than a vehicle to move electronic funds around the world using the internet. But, the dark side of digital currency is it will be used by government authorities to track sales, purchases, investments, donations, or any other transactions that are executed anywhere in the world. The 666 economic system will force “all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark”. This technology will allow governments the ability to monitor transactions, disable accounts at the click of a button, and levy fines by deducting it directly from your account (without your authorization). This technology can be described as nothing short of the dystopian society described by Orson Welles in his novel titled Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Economics are complicated and there will be multiple factors that lead up to the collapse of the world economy, but common-sense economic practices have been abandoned, not for the betterment of mankind, but for the purpose of standing up socialist systems throughout the world while new technology is being developed to maximize tax revenue and increase monetary control over the masses. They are being developed to ensure authorities maintain control of their power while suppressing the multitudes. The digital currency system exists today, and big brother is coming to our world!
