I read a book almost thirty years ago that predicted and described the financial breakdown that we are currently experiencing, and its aftermath. I can’t remember the author’s name or the name of the book but I have never forgotten the message: a New World Order would be ushered in on the heels of a universal financial debacle.
She (the author) described the universal use of bar codes and other devices as a way of tracking and storing information (first for goods and services and then for people), the increased use of debit and credit cards and the formation and strengthening of a world bank. All this as a way to set the stage for a “one world government” in which hard currency would be eliminated, everyone and everything could be tracked and all commercial transactions would be controlled by a central authority. The point being that a system that controls the money controls completely. She warned to keep one’s eyes open and observe the signs. I have and I do. Bear in mind that in the 70′s (when this book was written) the technology to enable all this did not yet exist; it does today.
I believe that the current “financial breakdown” has been carefully engineered to create the atmosphere in which these events can take place. The movement was already begun with the formation of our Federal Reserve banking system and later the World Bank and IMF. The formation of the European Union and the Euro was also predicted in this book. There are plans already underway to institute the Amero or one currency system for Canada, Mexico and the US. The plan, I believe, is to eventually and soon institute a cashless society and establish one electronic monetary system for the whole world.
I know this sounds like a bunch of conspiracy theory bunk but it certainly warrants consideration. If you look at all of this from a Biblical/Prophetic prospective, it seems to make sense. The “mark of the beast” (some type of identification?) mentioned in the book of Revelation ([youversion]Revelation 13:16-18[/youversion]) which one must have in order to engage in any type of trade or commerce (implies government control of all commerce and currency?) could simply be some type of bar code or implant (already being used). Scary, huh? The Bible warns us not to take the “mark” under any circumstances. What are we to do?
Whether you believe in God and the teachings of the Bible or not, bad times surely seem to be looming on the horizon. If nothing else, recent events should make clear to us how fragile and volatile the system that we have put so much faith in really is. What if all your precious money should suddenly become worthless? What if the power grid went down? What if you went to the grocery store one day and all the shelves were empty? Can you survive “off the grid?” Very few of us can.
I don’t know the answers but we would be well advised to observe the signs and hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
