One Giant Step Closer to the Mark While the world was distracted and watching the events of Russia’s attack on Ukraine, President Biden quietly issued an executive order on March 9 that directs federal agencies to develop policies for the US government to regulate and issue a new digital currency, tentatively called the FedCoin (1). […]
The Vaccine Passport and the Mark of the Beast
In 2021, the digital vaccine passport was implemented to certify whether an individual has been fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. It is now being used in dozens of countries, and without it, many people are unable to fully participate in society. Most of the vaccine passports incorporate a digitally signed QR Code, which is […]
The War on Cash
Prelude to the Mark of the Beast There is a quiet revolution happening in society. Quiet because it is rarely discussed among people or politicians, and it is seldom reported on by the media. Revolutionary, because it is about to cause the most radical change ever envisioned in the way society operates. Over the course […]
The World Moves Closer to the Mark
Technological developments in electronic buying and selling are rapidly moving us closer to the fulfillment of the Biblical prophecy concerning the Mark of the Beast. The Apostle John predicted in the Book of Revelation that the final world empire would enact a law making it a requirement for every person to be marked in their […]
Entering the Belly of the Epocalypse

Now we are sliding rapidly down the great beast’s throat toward its cavernous belly. The biggest economic collapse the world has ever seen is consuming everything — all commodities, […]
Cashless Society War Intensifies During Global Epocalypse
A Guest Article by David Haggith; First published on The Great Recession Blog In the fall of 2015, the world descended into an economic apocalypse that will transform the globe into a single cashless society. This bold prediction is based on trends in nations all over the earth as shown in the article below. As […]
The Final Mark is Coming
From the previous sections, we have seen how the advent of computer technology, the development of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), the rise of the Internet, the rapid construction of the Cashless Society, the invention of Smart Cards, the growing need for Personal Identification, the use of Biometrics, and widespread surveillance and tracking by radio frequency […]
RFID
In addition to the development of smart cards and biometrics, there is another important technology that has arisen which will ultimately be merged with them as the world moves toward the final economy of the Antichrist. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless communication technology that uses microwave or ultra-high frequency (UHF) electromagnetic signals within […]
Biometrics
There is little doubt that the merging of computer technology with credit and debit cards (see: Plastic Money) to create smart cards was one of the most significant steps on the road to the Mark of the Beast. There is, however, another important technology that has been developed during the same time frame that is […]
Smart Cards
As the world moves toward a cashless financial system and ultimately the Mark of the Beast to validate identities (see The Identification Problem), a significant new technology has been developed that will partially solve the problem of identity fraud. This invention is so important that it may also represent one of the last stages in […]
The Mark of the Beast
The Mark of the Beast is predicted in the Bible to be something that the Antichrist and the Final World Empire will require of every man, woman, and child. This Mark will be the dividing line between life and death, Christ and Antichrist, allegiance to God or allegiance to Satan, and it will be given […]
EMV Global Electronic Payment Systems
The three major credit and debit card companies, Europay, MasterCard, and Visa, have created a standard for universal smart card communications and payments that will make a cashless society possible. Called EMV (from the companies’ initials), the standard enables more secure electronic payments that use contact-based or contactless interactions with point-of-sale (POS) terminals worldwide. The […]
Biometrics is Becoming Standardized
Biometric scanning is becoming standardized on hand and iris scanning technology (Image: Finextra Research). Digital records of biometric identities are being used with smart cards containing advanced microchips for everything from medical records to train passes to bank cards and national ID cards. The major credit card companies are about to introduce new interactive cards […]
RFID Now Used to Monitor People
Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been used for years to identify and track the movement of goods and animals. Although the technology was invented in the 1970s, it wasn’t until the late ’80s and ’90s when it began to be used extensively. RFID chips contain a radio frequency transponder and an antenna that can respond […]
RFID Wristband Needed to Enter Music Festival
A new radio frequency identification (RFID) system incorporated into a colorful wristband is being used in lieu of paper tickets to enter music festivals around the U.S. this year (International Business Times, By Amanda Remling, June 1, 2012). The microchip contained in the wristband can be read by radio waves. It identifies the wearer and […]
Sweden Moves to Cashless Society
Sweden may be ahead of every other country in the world as they come ever closer to a cashless society. According to Malin Rising writing for the Huffington Post, most government run institutions don’t accept cash of any kind, including transportation, payment of fees and services, obtaining licenses, and paying taxes (Image: Flickr, Images_of_Money). Most […]
Universal Smart Cards are Next
Surprisingly, Russia is one of the most advanced countries for implementing smart card technologies (Image: Sitronics). They actually have issued more cards than their total population, which means that the cards are already well ingrained within their society. Now they are planning to implement a “universal electronic card” (UEC) to be released in 2013, which […]
Smart Cards are Coming to the U.S.
The use of Smart Cards or those containing microprocessors and accessible memory is about to expand dramatically in the U.S. While many countries have issued smart card ID’s or smart card payment systems, the U.S. has lagged behind. Now MasterCard has developed a plan to roll out smart cards to replace magnetic stripe-type credit cards […]
