Regarding prophetic Scripture, please read the verses below:
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name" (Revelation 13:16-17).
Having read the Scripture, what meaning do you propose the verses entail? Would you at least concede, that it might be referring to participation in an economic system?
Maybe if you'd read my post you would know, as it's quite clearly stated.

The Bible does not use the phrase “one-world government” or “one-world currency” in referring to the end times. It does, however, provide ample evidence to enable us to draw the conclusion that both will exist under the rule of the Antichrist in the last days.

Are you ****ing kidding me? It provides evidence of nothing pertaining to reality. Instead, you try desperately to fit external evidence to it.
Read you loud and clear!
So...
Rev. 13:16-17 has nothing to do with reality, despite the US government and governments around the world openly sponsoring security and economic solutions via a micro-chip (placed in the hand and/or forehead of occupants)?
You view this correlation between Scripture and current events as irrelevant?

Don’t worry about it.

Your right! The difference is this, however: in a true open market, competition will keep everyone honest. In an open market, people like you and I control the market -- cost and demand. The Federal Reserve, however, just prints money out of thin air. This gives our government and banking institutions a free ride. Under such conditions, the consumer has zero power and the Federal Reserve has all the power in the world -- no true open market.
Just because our government is corrupt, doesn’t mean that a world government will be correcpt. I think it is important that we one day have a world government, but I don’t think we are ready. In many ways we are still cavemen living in the wild. One day we will awaken to our enlightenment, but for now, we live in the dark.

No... not at all. I'm suggesting that the Federal Reserve be whipped of the face of the planet, not to mention big banks in other countries that regulate economies. Allow monetary success to flow from cost and demand (competition), not manipulation.Gonna check out the video?
But what if you want to buy a home and raise children? All that structure was originally put in place to make that possible. Sure people have corrupted it, but that’s the peoples fault, not the system’s. We just need to vote everyone who is in office now, out of office. A bloodless revolution, in a way.

Ya, you are right! This is all going to end up with the Antichrist... can I have your car? 😄
You want need it, and you will not be able to buy gas for it. I could really use a new car. I bet you make a lot of money and have a really nice car. 😛

Universal currency wouldn't be a bad thing, if it could be implemented and people would accept it..without shouting cries of Nationalism.
However, in the hands of Antichrist, it would be a bad thing. During the time of Antichrist, there will be no money, "per se". You would have to have a Mark. In essence, it would be a cashless society. You can only get this Mark if you devote yourself to the worship of the Beast(Antichrist). Furthermore, there can be no Atheists during that time. You would HAVE to worship the Antichrist. Receiving the Mark would be the first step in doing that. If you refuse it, you'll simply starve to death...or try to steal. However, stealing would lead to execution more than likely.
Antichrist will be the Head of a totalitarian society, on a much harsher and larger scale than Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Russia.

It is unlikely to convince a hardcore atheist of anything pertaining to Scriputure. They operate on logic and reason alone, not faith.
Even if he did see a correlation with a passage of Scripture and a current event, he would just write it off as coincidence. God Himself would have to change an athiests mind.

But that is just the plot from a book. It's not real.

😂
I happen to believe it.
Anyway, regardless if it is true or not, it is true as per the condition of this thread.
In other words, If and only if the Book of Revelation is true, and taken literally, what I outlined above will be how the world system works. Antichrist will require ALL to take a Mark to buy or sell anything. The Mark IS the Economy.
I realize most posters on this forum believe the Bible is a fairy tale, and that's fine..I respect your position. In this thread, I'm ASSUMING the Bible is true, and outlining what WILL happen if Bible prophecy comes to pass.

So... you think, one day, everyone is just going to wake up and love one another and fix this retched world we live in? That is a very beautiful thing, but I simply don't see how. In the world I see, power corrupts. And with time, it becomes more corrupt. I hope I am wrong. I really do.

Your absolutely right! Vote 'em out! But since the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913, our monetary system is even corrupt now. The Federal Reserve needs to sit on the bench as well.
