Now, let us consider the rapidly changing global Economic system. This
economic system will
become global before Anti-Christ arises and its cashless feature will have
become reality before he
chooses to use it to his spiritual advantage. But, again, the planned
result of the New World Order
Economic System is the same as for the Political System -- individual
sovereign nations are
targeted for elimination. This new economic system will not allow the
individual nations to take
action based solely on what the best course might be for that individual
nation. This goal has been
even more difficult to achieve than the political goal. Peoples of every
nation are very jealous of
their ability to act in accordance with their economic needs, simply
because they instinctively realize
that their very physical survival depends upon their economy functioning
well enough to feed,
clothe, and house them. Thus it is that they are very jealous of their
economy and their unique
currency. Resistance to eliminating national currencies and national
sovereignty to control their own
currency has proven to be fierce.
However, victory seems to be in sight, as this NEWS BRIEF seems to
indicate. The Providence
Sunday Journal, August 8, 1993, "A New World Order Has Established Itself
In Currency
Trading", p. F15. "The battles between currency traders and central banks
that overwhelmed the
European Community's exchange rate system this week illustrated a new world
order -- one in
which billions of dollars sprint around the globe, and investors challenge
governments...The market
forced the government to make decisions they couldn't make..."
In other words, the advancing cashless electronic flow of money around the
globe, which amounts
to an estimated $1 trillion daily, can force supposedly sovereign
governments to make decisions
that they would otherwise not make. Again, this is tremendous news with
equally tremendous
implications. Who elected these traders to positions of authority, from
which they could take
actions that might force our duly elected governments into undesirable
actions? Of course, the
answer is, "No one elected these traders to do anything." Yet, they daily
demonstrate their ability to
force national sovereign governments into situations which might someday
become untenable.
One of the most interesting aspect of this news article is the revelation
that cashless financial
transaction via computer electronic transfer is occurring daily at a huge
level, $1 trillion to be exact.
We are moving rapidly to a cashless society. Credit cards paved the way
originally for the cashless
economic system of buying and selling without cash money. Then, once we
were properly
conditioned to this new reality, Debit Cards were introduced. Debit cards
differ from Credit Cards
in that they automatically withdraw the amount of your purchase from your
bank account. Of
course, all these banking transactions operate on the same "666" principle
of the UPC coding
which we find on most of our retail products today.
The stage seemed set to eliminate cash and go to a credit card. Indeed,
rumors have abounded for
over a decade that the Federal Government was planning to introduce a new
money. Dr. Frank
Church, writing in his monthly newsletter, "Prophecy In The News", stated
that his church treasurer
made a tremendous discovery one Sunday morning. He was looking at the money
in the church's
collection plates one morning, and realized that much of the paper currency
looked unusually old.
As they began to look at the money, they realized that the most recent
issue date was 1988, which
is significant because it meant the U.S. Treasury had not made a new plate
for five years. Usually, a
new plate is created every year.
The stage seemed set for introduction of some new money into our economy.
However, no one
seemed to know precisely the form this new money would take. The mystery
may be over. I
received a letter from Former U.S. Congressman, Ron Paul, who lives in
Houston, Texas.
Congressman Paul was writing to warn of a new money which is ready to be
introduced at any
moment. Congressman Paul writes, "Next year, or next month, Bill Clinton's
New Money could
wipe you out...I'm scared...I uncovered the plans for the New Money when I
was a U.S.
Congressman and chairman of a currency subcommittee...I held it in my
hands. The bills were
tinted pink and blue and brown...with holograms, diffraction gratings,
metal and plastic threads, bar
codes, and chemical alarms. It was not the money of a free people, for it
will allow the feds to keep
track of American cash, and American citizens. These bills...can be
computer imprinted and read,
laying a paper trail hundreds of transactions long. These bills contain
chemical alarms that will set
off federal cash detectors at airports...To manufacture the New Money, the
Fed's have built a
colossal high-tech plant in Ft. Worth, Texas..."
This is shocking news, indeed. It appears that this new money is designed
to serve as the final
bridge between our traditional paper currency and the final cashless system
which operates with
some type of physical mark. This type of money would incorporate much of
the same computer
technology as would be required under the final physical mark system.
Indeed, it would allow
authorities to work out all problems with such a computer system before
they implement the
physical mark system.
The time seems very late, indeed. The global Economic System of Anti-Christ
is taking shape in
our daily news, and it seems to be forming along the precise lines
prophesied in our Holy Bible. We
should be encouraged as well as alerted. Jesus said we would know the
approximate time of the
end when we saw the many End Time prophecies occurring together. Now is
that time.
Finally, we want to examine the progress toward the final global religion.
Revelation 13:11, tells us
clearly that the False Prophet, who aids Anti-Christ so much in his initial
appearance, will look,
talk, and act like a Christian. The Scripture says, "And I beheld another
beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." This
False Prophet will appear
to be a follower of the "Lamb of God Who taketh away the sins of the world"
-- Jesus Christ.
However, he will be totally false. On the inside, he will be possessed of
Satan as is clearly indicated
in the prophecy, "...he spake as a dragon". The dragon is clearly Satan.
So, we should expect this
False Prophet to be the supreme leader of a worldwide church which claims
to be Christian.
However, since God has consistently promised that the Holy Spirit will
prevent those truly
born-again believers from being deceived, we can expect that this False
Prophet will fool only
those who are not saved. The True Church will see this false leader and his
church as being false
long before he arises to support Anti-Christ.
The Sunday Boston Globe, August 8, 1993, reports on the imminent arrival of
Pope John Paul II in
the United States on August 12. In an article entitled, "John Paul,
Geopolitician", page 69, the
author, J. Bryan Hehir, focuses upon the Pope's global influence in this
"post-Cold War" era. He
says, "World politics clearly is passing through a time of profound and
fundamental change...Both
his stance on human rights and his support of international refugees and
migrants lead John Paul II
to limit the idea of state sovereignty. One of the characteristics of world
politics today is the shifting
status of sovereignty. The increasing interdependence of the globe, as well
as the force of human
rights claims, have eroded the meaning of sovereignty... [John Paul] argues
that bonds of moral
solidarity establish duties among peoples and nations despite sovereign
boundaries."
Did you understand the import of this information? Pope John Paul II is
throwing the full weight of
the Roman Catholic Church behind the New World Order objective of
surrendering national
sovereignty to the United Nations. This support is weighty, indeed, because
the Roman Catholic
Pope commands respect, loyalty, and allegiance that cuts across national
boundaries and races.
Why, the Pope is the perfect person to spiritually lead the world into the
New World Order. And
this is precisely what he is doing.
But, his supporters would dramatically disagree. They would say that the
Pope is simply leading as
Jesus Christ would lead. The Pope is concerned with the salvation of
mankind, about the poor, and
about the injustices which plague every nation around the globe. While this
assertion may be
partially true, its falsity is enough to damn the entire endeavor.
First, the Roman Catholic Church has not preached the need for salvation
through becoming Born
Again by Grace. Rather, they preach the Pagan path toward salvation,
through works, through the
efforts and suffering of man.
Second, Jesus Christ speaks not one word about "human rights". This kind of
concern is found only
in New World Order writings, and it is found constantly there. Jesus Christ
gave up all His rights to
Heaven and to the Godhead. After He voluntarily relinquished those rights,
He became a human, to
suffer and be tempted in all points as we are, but without sin. Jesus'
final surrender of His rights
came at the Garden of Gethsemane first, and the Cross of Calvary second. At
the Garden, Jesus
prayed to the Father, that if salvation from sin for man could be
accomplished by any other way,
that He be released from the Plan for the Cross. However, when God the
Father told God the Son
that there was no other way, Jesus gave up His rights and went to the Cross
for you and for me,
paying the final, horrible price for your sins and mine.
Consistently in the New Testament, the Apostle Paul urges us to "follow"
Jesus Christ, to live as He
had lived. Indeed, Biblical Christianity has taught for 2,000 years that
true service to the Master
involves giving up our wishes and rights to obey Jesus Christ. When I hear
that Roman Catholicism
has changed its teachings to emphasize "human rights", I cringe, because
this is standard New
World Order teaching.
Just in case we miss the point that Pope John Paul II is working toward the
goal of individual
nations surrendering their sovereignty to the United Nations, the author of
this article finally states,
"...John Paul II has called upon the international community to disarm the
aggressors in Bosnia;
such action inevitably would require the use of force." The term,
"International Community" is a
standard one for "United Nations". This Pope is advocating that the United
Nations override the
sovereignty of the nations in this conflict, using military force. Do not
be deceived. If he advocates
such action in one instance, he will support it in other instances, until
no one any longer finds it
shocking or wrong.
Thus, we can see that all three of the prophesied parts of the kingdom of
Anti-Christ are taking
shape before our very eyes. Watch your daily news carefully. Understand how
the many actions by
our leaders are systematically leading us into the New World Order.
The time is really very late. Watch your news for the planned crisis which
is designed to panic the
American populace into accepting radical change in our government and our
economy.
And above all, look up, for our redemption draweth nigh. Just as Jesus
foretold, the bud has
appeared on the vine, alerting us to the fact that the harvest draweth
closer.
