People have been waiting for nearly 2,000 years for the beast and his mark to come to this world. What they don't realize is that it has been here all along in the form of the monetary system and global economy.


Revelation 13
16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.


So the mark of the beast is on the hand and forehead. Money can be held in the hand and it is always on the mind (working a job, paying bills, etc.). You cannot buy or sell without the mark, you cannot buy or sell without money.

The number of the beast is that of man, the global economy is man-made, it is not natural. The number of the beast is the global economy and the monetary system that makes us all slaves to debt.

Where do we see jobs outside of human society? Nowhere. We have created a system that in unnatural, a system which benefits those who control the system, those who are in power. They have made slaves of us through the implementation of the economy and the jobs we work. What do we work for? Money. What do we use money for? Possessions.


Matthew 19
21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."


Here we have Jesus speaking against gaining wealth and material possessions. What do we have to do in order to gain money and thus possessions? Sign an oath or contract with our employers, an agreement that we will work for them and in return we get money in order to buy our Earthly possessions. Not heavenly treasure, but Earthly treasure, something Jesus told us not to hoard because thieves can break in and steal it.


Matthew 5
34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.


Jesus says not to take an oath at all because anything other than "yes" or "no" comes from the evil one (Satan/the beast). We are asked to sign an "oath" when we first get a job. This implies that the economy (what we become part of when we get a job) is from the evil one, Satan.

Money is the mark of the beast, we always have it in hand and it is always on our mind.


2 Corinthians 4
4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.


Satan is the god of this world according to the bible. What is on every dollar we make? "In God we trust", money is the god of this world. If you are not part of the global economy you are seen as an outcast and freeloader who is not working for the greater good, you are seen as lazy. Satan has blinded people with the money system he (man) has instilled on Earth.

What do we work in order to make money? A job. There was a man named "Job" in the bible who was handed to Satan by God in order to be persecuted. The meaning behind Job's story is that of the elite (Satan) persecuting us through working our "Job" in order to maintain the beasts mark and system, that of money and power.

Job sharing the name of a place of employment is no coincidence. There is a method behind the creation of languages, languages are created by those in power in order for us to lose the true meaning of the original words. If you look at the etymological roots of any modern word, you will find the true original meaning behind that word at the very base of that root system. Job being persecuted by Satan is a metaphor with the elite persecuting us by making us work our jobs in order to sustain their system.

The beast and its mark are already here people, it has been for thousands of years now. The beast and its mark are the elite and the global economy/monetary system they have installed into our lives. Try to escape it and you will be worse off than you were, unless you have survival skills, which in today's world is very few and far between. We have been conditioned to see the system we are a part of as normal and natural, it is not, it is evil, and as we know "the love of money is the root of all evil". Those who installed this system and maintain it love money, that's why they hoard it for themselves, more money than they could ever spend. We too love money as a majority. It sure feels good getting that paycheck doesn't? It sure feels good to win the lottery, doesn't it? That feeling of euphoria is a side effect of loving money.

While we are too far along to stop it now, we can at least recognize it for what it is and stop waiting for something that's already here. Those in power have us fooled, we are waiting for the beast to come all while being oblivious to the fact we are already a part of its system. We are missing the forest for the trees, that's how those in power want it.

Thanks for reading.

Everyone needs money. I think the line is drawn at greed. We go over it when we worship money. We worship what we spend all our time doing. You can't serve both money and Spirit or some such.

So theres this balance.

Money is money, no matter what label is put on it or what arbitrary value is assigned to it. All types of currencies are interchangeable, meaning they are all the same thing, only with different names attached to them.

People worship things, which they buy with money.

Maybe in today's society we "need" money, but in reality, money is not a "need". Food is a need, water is a need, money is just the middle man they have put between us and the things we need in order to survive. No other species uses money in order to survive, only humans.

No other species is civilized.

Acquiring more than we need or can ever use stems from greed.

I was not able to respond to your post in the other thread since it seemed to have been removed.

Here is another video on Venus project where the housing is denser than the first one.




The issue on making the powerful give up their power that is created thru the monetary system is the big issue. But true peace will never be with the power pyramid creating class warfare between the classes.

What do you mean by civilized? There are two definitions, one we are the other we definitely are not.

We may be more advanced but as far as being "well-mannered", we are hardly that. We destroy the Earth for profit, regardless of what animals call those ecosystems home. We practice factory farming where we mistreat animals for consumption and profit.

If anything, our civilization has made us the least civilized species on the planet.

Theres this bird that uses bling and shiny stuff to attract mates (yah, I know).

Its okay to survive, we need money to go to the store and get stuff to live on. Theres nothing wrong with that.

I used to dive in dumpsters, recycle stuff to get money to buy food and gas.

So what. Thats not buying into the beast.

A part of a civilization. Although, I can't say we are the least civilized (in the other meaning of the term) species on the planet. Hyenas are vicious.

"Civilization" is not the same as civil behavior. In that regard many animals behave with more "civility" than most people.

I'm starting to think you just like to nay-say. I meant "part of a civilization."

I don't think birds using shiny stuff to attract mates is the same thing or on the same level as our monetary system.


Matthew 6
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?


Birds do not hoard those shiny things and keep other birds from acquiring them.

The system that requires you to go to the grocery store and buy gas is the same system that thrives on money.

I'm not saying you're a bad person for using money, it's unavoidable with our current society, even I use it, but I do recognize it for what it is: a tool used to enslave us.

Solutions? Alternatives?

I suspect you would see the same problems even with Bitcoin?

What hyenas do is nothing compared to what we have done as a civilization. Look at the countless wars we've fought and the amount of pollution we are creating. We are the least civilized species by a long shot.

Our cities kill the earth, our streets choke the soil, our dumps pollute the water. We are far from being a civilized civilization.
