In
this
series of articles we have been examining, from a Biblical perspective,
those
events that serve as signs
of the coming end of the age. In Part 1
we discussed the
reemergence of the State of Israel. In Part 2
we examined the
unification of Europe. In Part
3 we examined the emergence of Eurabia. Now in Part 4 we
examine the move
toward a Global Economy.
The
Bible predicts, in the last days, a charismatic, yet devilishly
sinister man
who will arise out of Europe and seize control of the entire globe. He
will not
govern in a vacuum. He will be assisted by a chief of staff. Much in
the same
way that Karl Rove assisted President George W. Bush, and Rahm Emanuel
is assisting
President Barack Obama, this future chief of staff will focus his
energies on
marshaling world-wide support for his Global
Guru (Rev. 13).
Follow
the money trail. You can’t secure political power over any entity
without also
securing financial power. The future Global Chief of Staff will ram
through a
strategy of universal identification. The whole purpose of this
Universal ID
system will be to control and monitor every movement and transaction of
every
citizen in the Global Village. Not a single person will be permitted to
perform
a single financial transaction of buying or selling unless he first
submits to
being tagged with a numerical Universal ID. The Bible calls this ID
“The Mark
of the Beast” (Rev.
13:16-18).
You
may
have noticed rumblings from various corners of the earth about the
relentless
slide of the value of the present global currency, the U.S. dollar. As
successive U.S. administrations have spent more than they have taken
in, the
dollar has declined in value. But no administration has plunged the
U.S. deeper
into debt faster than the current one.
What
has
been the world reaction? To call for a new global currency. On March
26, 2009,
“A UN panel of expert economists pressed … for a new global currency
reserve scheme
to replace the volatile,
dollar-based system ….” On June 26, 2009, “China’s central bank
reiterated a call for a
worldwide currency.”
On February 26, 2010, “Dominique
Strauss-Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund, suggested …
the
organization might one day be called on to provide countries with a global reserve
currency
that would serve as an
alternative to the U.S. dollar.
Don’t
bet against this trend. Our world is moving toward a suffocating global
economy
that will one day be centralized in a world government run by one man
and his
assistant, just as the Bible predicts. Your only hope of escape from
the
stranglehold of inevitable tyranny is to embrace Jesus Christ, “the
Way, and the
Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6).
