The Web

·         The Internet commonly referred to today as the WEB, dates back to the 1960s with research commissioned by our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to give an IP Internet Protocol address, to identify each computer as well as identify its location.

·         The purpose of the Internet in the beginning was to share and distribute information via networked computers for the sole purpose of having a “DEFENSE NETWORK” that could provide communication in the event of a NUCLEAR WAR; to get information from one point to another in a way that was resilient to large scale nuclear attack - (Some refute this.)

·         It was sponsored by DARPA: the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency which was part of the US MILITARY and grew mainly with the development of ARPANET; the Advanced Research Project Agency Network.

·         From 1957- 1969, during the height of the Cold War, the ARPANET project originally was developed to have a “Communication System” with NO centralized headquarters hub so if any one city was taken off line because of a disaster, the data communication could redirect to  another nearby router to complete its delivery. 

·         ARPANET morphed into the “TIME SHARING” of the Processing Power of larger computers worldwide making it possible for the common person as well as small research institutions to crunch numbers, doing a better job.

·         The Internet wasn't designed to be fast; it was designed to be reliable, be transparent to content and not require replacing any existing hardware. – The mission statement was simple; make sure that the data “at some point” EVENTUALLY gets to its destination.  

·         It was originally designed to exchanging raw data between researchers using the well-known "HTTP," or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, and was STORED IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMATS.  – It has now become so much more powerful than just sharing text, it now includes images, videos and sounds.

·         Internet users have come to sense the “forge-ability” of Internet communications, and have become dubious about the Bona-fide-ability of messages we receive. -  Data protocols can be copied and forged; IP addresses can be programmed to rotate and change every time it hits a computer.  Unauthorized Accesses, Site Defacements, Trojans Horses and Viruses can make the Internet a very hostile environment.

·         Because Internet data was stored in so many different formats; a NEW TRANSFER PROTOCOL has been developed, instead of the familiar “HTTP” it will be called “DSTP”; Data Space Transfer Protocol creating the next generation of protocols for how WEB data is stored and shared among online users.

·         Today the internet is used to connect to folks up to social media such as Facebook and to financial institutions as well as to search for information on any subject matter you can imagine.  Although the Internet was not designed to compete with radio or television or merchandisers much less financial institutions, it certainly is now.

·         A growing number of businesses are accepting  a Cryptocurrency such as bitcoin; - Dish –Microsoft – Expedia – Overstock – REEDS Jewelers – KFC Canada - Subway – PizzaForCoins - OKCupid – CheapAir – Zynga – Etsy.   

Cryptocurrency

·         There are probably about a half-billion computers that can connect to the Internet and it seems that every teenager knows something about hacking and cracking codes.  The Internet created by our Government is about as secure as your kid’s piggy bank. - There are even online classes to get certifications for hacking computers to get jobs protecting the data of large Firms and Corporations. – Every purchase over the internet now has a vulnerability. - So in a nut shell, Cryptocurrency is all about SECURITY.

·         Cryptocurrency is money that is completely virtual; its name Crypto comes from the heavy encoding or cryptography that is used to make the request, the confirmation and the recording of the transaction secure.  This all happens without a centralized regulatory agency and because of this, the transaction identity of both parties remain anonymous.

·         Cryptocurrency is a form of digital asset that allows users to buy and sell products and services mainly over the Internet. - Because Cryptocurrency is not governed by a central bank or single administrator, its potential is truly almost limitless as an international currency.  (I look to some sort of Cryptocurrency as being the new One World Currency.)

·         Since Cryptocurrency works within an open-source Block-Chain, every transactions you make online can be tracked by anyone at any time, making it difficult to cheat or commit fraud. - You can easily make transactions from anywhere in the world without going through a bank; the transaction is not only more cost-effective, but faster.

·         There are almost 200 currencies controlled by governments or central banks, however THERE IS ONLY ONE INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY, and that is Bitcoin which has reinvented how we process, finance and perform business transactions.

·         If this revolutionary method of buying and selling falls into the hands of a consortium of powerful global elites, they will instantly gain tremendous powerful control over the world’s finances in order to advance their own interest and gain financial control. - It is a possibility for a government or another entity to duplicate bitcoin’s financial system or improve the current Bitcoin’s system by making it even better.

·         Since Bitcoins inception there are now over 4,000 Altcoins, or alternative variants of bit coin including Bitcoin – Cardanol - Dash – Ethereum – IOTA – Litecoin – Monero - NEM - NEO - Ripple – Stellar - TRON and Zcash.

Bitcoin

·         Bitcoin is a way to remove or separate money from governmental control, as well as social control, it takes control back from central authorities. - Cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can be positive or negative depending on your worldview. -  It is said to be inherently anti-system, anti-state and anti-establishment. - It undermines governments and disrupts institutions because bitcoin is fundamentally HUMANITARIAN.

·         Bitcoin is an online version of cash, a way for people to transact without the possibility of interference from malicious governments or banks worldwide. - They have three qualities, 1) hard to earn, 2) limited in supply and 3) easy to verify.

·         Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a form of ELECTRONIC CASH. - It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user-to-user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries. - They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.

·         Compared with ordinary currencies held by financial institutions, cryptocurrencies can be more difficult for seizure by law enforcement.

·         At bitcoin's inception there would only ever be 21 million bitcoins in total, so then the number of bitcoins is set.  - In 2011, the price started at $0.30 per bitcoin.

·         Bitcoin has been used as an investment.  - So purchasing a Bitcoin is much like purchasing stock.  The value of the coin RISES and FALLS every minute of the day. - In July of 2018 a bitcoin’s price was $6,469. – So if you spent ONE dollar in 2011 on bitcoins, your ONE dollar investment today would be worth $21,461.18. – Today because of cost, folks only purchase a fraction of one bitcoin.  Some are gaming the market like they do at the Las Vegas tables. It is attracting a high percentage of Gamblers, NOT serious Investors. 

·         A wallet is something that "stores your digital credentials for your bitcoin holdings" and allows you to access as well as spend them.

·         Online wallets offer similar functionality, but are easier to use than the user's hardware, however a malicious provider or a breach in server security could cause entrusted bitcoins to be stolen. 

·         Password protection or encrypting your wallet or your smartphone allows you to set a password for anyone trying to withdraw funds from you.  If you forget your password or the location of your wallet, your funds are permanently lost.  To thwart HACKERS, a strong password should be of at least 16 characters containing letters, numbers and punctuation marks.

Bitcoin Mining

·         The term “Bitcoin Mining” resembles the mining of coal or other commodities. - It is "mined" by complex algorithms and recorded in a digital ledger called a Block-Chain that is housed on computer servers and is the process of adding Bitcoin transaction records to its Public Ledger of past transactions or Block-Chains. – These Block-Chains track cryptocurrency transactions made of unchangeable packages called blocks. - Ever since the Bitcoin system was initiated in 2009, every Bitcoin contains a "Block-Chain" that keeps a record of every transaction made.

·         A ledger of past transactions is called a “Block-Chain” as it is part of an actual “chain of blocks”.  It is used to distinguish legitimate transactions from illegal transactions where there is an attempt to re-spend Bitcoins that have already been spent somewhere else. This block chain verifies to the rest of the network that the legitimate transactions have taken place. This process ensuring fairness and helps keep the Bitcoin network stable, safe and secure by approving transactions.

·         Mining Bitcoin Cash - If you are a firm believer in Bitcoin Cash, the way to SUPPORT the network is to earn some bitcoin cash by mining.

·         Bitcoin mining is a process of solving complex mathematical puzzles. (Which we do not know their full intent.) - Miners not only mark transactions as legitimate, they are also responsible for putting the new bitcoin tokens into circulation that they have earned.

·         Bitcoin Miners with a special software that is specifically designed to solve math problems use their computers to ensure the authenticity and relationship of a bitcoin transaction and in exchange for their efforts they receive a certain number of bitcoins thereby creating an continued incentive to mine. There is a cautious down side however, a vulnerability or exposure; you must make accessible your login information to your bank accounts in order to buy or sell their bitcoin.

·         The Bitcoin Cash network substantially rewards for successfully mining a block of transactions. -  At this writing, the reward currently stands at 12.5 BCH per block, plus all the transaction fees within the block.  - The bigger, faster and more computers you have, the more chances you will have successfully mining a “block” for a reward.  - Many miners have multiple computers to increase their rewards, so there is a cost of electricity to be considered for the power consumption; this certainly makes a difference in your profits.

1 Timothy 6:9 – Desire to get rich becomes tempted and trapped
⁹ But people who LONG TO BE RICH FALL INTO TEMPTATION and are TRAPPED by many foolish and harmful desires

that plunge them into RUIN and DESTRUCTION.

(NLT)

Proverbs 13:11 – Wealth from get-rich-schemes disappears
¹¹ WEALTH from GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEMES quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.

(NLT)

Proverbs 30:8-9 – Give me enough to satisfy my needs
⁸ First, help me never to tell a lie. Second,

GIVE ME NEITHER POVERTY NOR RICHES!

Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.
⁹ For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, “Who is the LORD?” And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.

Bitcoin for Dummies

·         Michael A. Gorman’s presentation on Cryptocurrencies takes a very complex subject and explains it on a seventh grade level so that even I can get it.

·         People have been trying to create "digital" or "electronic" currencies for some time.  But until Bitcoin, none of them could ever solve "the problem of the DOUBLE SPEND."  That is what makes Bitcoin different than all the attempts that came before.

·         All digital currencies operate on the idea of a public or "Shared Ledger".  Think of all the US currency currently in circulation right now.  Imagine if we froze time and made an indelible record of who has what dollars at this very instant and wrote it all down in one place that everyone could see.  That would be a Public Ledger.  Then I give you $20 and we record that as a transaction in the public ledger and everyone can see the movement of the $20 and they can see it was a debit on my account and a credit on your account.  So far, so good.

·         Now suppose we anonymize the whole thing.  We still have a public ledger except we replace everyone's name with some random number that only you know.  No one else knows your random number.  And the pool of numbers from which we create these random numbers is so large, the numbers are impossible to guess.  We call these numbers Universally Unique IDentifiers or UUIDs.

·         Rabbit trail:  How big the universe of UUIDs is and how unlikely it would be for you to ever "guess" my UUID or end up with a UUID that is the same as my UUID.  It would be like this: imagine you and I are playing a game of hide and seek, but the playing field is the entire earth, including the oceans.  So you give me 30 days to "hide" and I find some jungle or some mountain cave or some sailboat in the Pacific and then you have to look at a globe, pick the exact 3x3 foot area on the globe you think I am, then charter a flight or boat and go there and see if I am there.  That give you some idea of how many UUID possibilities there are.  For fun, here's an online UUID generator: https://www.uuidgenerator.net/

·         So, now back to our digital currency.  Anyone in the world can now look at the same ledger and see how much money is "owned" by each person; except all they know about each person is some number.  You can see that 9f1dd6f7-bec5-43f1-819b-5d0e2227de9b has $151,234.98 but you have no idea who 9f1dd6f7-bec5-43f1-819b-5d0e2227de9b is.  Or, more precisely, who "owns" or "controls" that address.   

·         And that takes us to our Post Office Box analogy.  These numbers are really addresses and they are like post office boxes.  I mean, if you are the only person in the world that can open post office box 9f1dd6f7-bec5-43f1-819b-5d0e2227de9b then you own it.  Or to say it another way, whoever can open the post office box can do whatever they want with the contents within it.  But, unlike a post office box, everyone can "see" what's in the box.  But only the person that has THE KEY to the box CAN OPEN IT, and no one knows who has the key (except the key holder, of course).

·         Now this is the foundation for all digital currencies that came before Bitcoin.  The problem that they all suffered however, was "the problem of the DOUBLE SPEND."  Back to our public ledger.  Suppose you have a PO Box and it has $1,500 in it and you want to buy a lawn mower.  You strike a deal with me.  I will sell you my lawn mower for $1,500.  I can verify with absolute certainty that you really do have $1,500 in your PO Box.  (You can prove that to me in any number of ways using your key that you are the real owner of that PO Box.)  

·         The idea is that I will give you the address of some PO Box that I own (which currently has $0) and, in exchange for transferring your $1,500 (which I know for sure you control) I will give you my lawn mower.  Yet, at the same time, unbeknownst to me, you have struck a bargain with someone else.  You have agreed to transfer your $1,500 to their PO Box in exchange for a new lathe. 
So now there are three parties involved, one seller and two buyers.  Neither buyer knows what's going on with the other.  Both buyers have been able to confirm you really do own and control the promised $1,500.  But because it's a digital currency and because it runs on a network that has inherent latency and delays, there is always some "slop" in the network which allows you to strike both bargains, receive your lawn mower AND your lathe, but only transfer the funds to one of the two lucky recipients.  By the time the other seller finds out what's going on, it's too late, the money has been spent "TWICE" so to speak.  This is the problem of the DOUBLE SPEND.

·         What has made Bitcoin different and, thus, the first and most successful cryptocurrency in the world is that they came up with a system that is impossible to beat.  That is to say, is impossible to spend your money TWICE.  How it does this is pretty complicated, but basically amounts to this: Bitcoin employs thousands of computers around the world called "MINERS".  In fact, anyone in the world can join this network and become a miner.  To be a miner means you donate some computing resources of your computer and, in exchange, you might earn some fraction of a fraction of a Bitcoin.  The more machines you donate to this cause, the better your chances are to earn Bitcoin. 

·         What minders do is basically validate transactions.  So when you submit a transaction to send $1,500 from address A to address B, the miner looks at the public ledger to verify that address A really does contain $1,500 and, if so, it approves the transaction.  You could, of course, create a rogue miner that approves fraudulent transactions (presumably ones that you yourself originated) but all the other miners in the world, who are playing by the rules, would not approve the transaction.  And only approved Bitcoin transactions get added to the public ledger, and once a transaction is added, it is virtually impossible to undo. 

·         The implication of this scheme is that you would have to own and control 51% or more of the Bitcoin network's computing power in order to scam the system.  And that will never happen because (a) it would be too expensive for you to invest enough money in computer hardware to do that and (b) even if you did succeed, you would end up undermining the very system you are trying to scam, since people would no longer be willing to use a digital currency they felt was not secure.

·         So that is how Bitcoin works.  Anyone in the world can create their own, uniquely numbered post office box.  Creating an empty box costs nothing because after all, it is indeed empty.  It is recommended that for every Bitcoin purchase/transfer you make, you have it sent to a brand new post office box (uniquely-numbered address) that will only ever contain those Bitcoin. 

·         In practice, what this means is that a given human actually owns and controls hundreds, or even thousands of Bitcoin addresses (post office boxes), each one containing from just a fraction of a fraction of a Bitcoin to lots of Bitcoins. 

·         They manage all of these addresses using a Bitcoin wallet.  Of course, it's not a real wallet.  Everything is done using software - so you "launch" the Bitcoin wallet program and then use that to create new Bitcoin addresses and to transfer Bitcoin from one address to another.

Mark of the Beast

·         As a student of the Bible I find myself speculating on what role cryptocurrency or Bitcoin might play in fulfilling the prophecies of the Bible.  

·         Based on The Book it is not the cryptocurrency or Bitcoin that I should worry about, it’s what we have to do to be able obtain it.  The Book says to be able to buy or sell we will be forced to abandon our relationship with God and worship the Beast.

·         There will come a time when there will be a One World Government which will do whatever it takes including persecution to sway the worshipers of God and the majority of the rest of the world through a One World Currency to force them to accept the One World Religion of the Anti-Christ and False Prophet and worship the Beast.

·         During the "tribulation years", Bitcoin or another similar Cryptocurrency will be in a position to fulfill the prophecy of Revelation and could morph itself onto the One-World Currency that requires a password or a mark to ACCESS your funds.  This has all the characteristics of what some believe could be The Mark of the Beast which will be used to gain the economic control of the world by the Anti-Christ.

·         The ownership or purchase of this One-World Currency or Cryptocurrency is not a sin and if during the tribulation period a believer has any of it, the worst thing that can happen is they will just simply lose it. - NYOBS 72.28 – ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT

·         Many prefer Cryptocurrency to other currencies because of its ease in digital transfers, its use across borders and anonymity of the traders. - Bitcoin has become the internet’s currency of choice for the BLACK MARKET where it is used to engage in human trafficking, buying and selling stolen art, weapons and illegal drugs.

·         The Silk Road Marketplace was founded February 2011; the name comes from a historical "Silk Road" network of trade routes started during the Han Dynasty 206 BC – 220 AD between Europe, India and China.

·         Silk Road criminal enterprises included fake driver's licenses - child pornography, stolen credit cards, assassinations, and weapons of any type. -  Money laundering, computer hacking, narcotics trafficking of prescriptions, stimulants, psychedelics, opioids, ecstasy, steroids, art, books, cigarettes, erotica and jewelry that was all imported through the mail. – The DEA shut down the Silk Road Black Market site October 2013.

Daniel 12:4 – Knowledge has increased - BLOCKCHAIN
⁴ But you, Daniel, KEEP THIS prophecy a SECRET; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE.”

(NLT)

Revelation 13:16-17 You need your PASSWORD for your CASH
¹⁶  He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.
¹⁷ And no one could BUY OR SELL anything without that MARK, which was either the name of the BEAST or the

number representing his name.

(NLT)

Revelation 13:18 – The New World Order seat number is 666
¹⁸ Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the BEAST, for

it is the number of a man. HIS NUMBER IS 666.

(NLT)

Revelation 13:11-15 – Worship the Image of the Beast or die
¹¹ Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon.
¹² He exercised all the authority of the first beast. And he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
¹³ He did astounding miracles, even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching.
¹⁴ And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life.
¹⁵ He was then permitted to give life to this STATUE so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that

ANYONE REFUSING TO WORSHIP IT MUST DIE.

(NLT)

Revelation 13:16 – Great or Poor to be given the MARK
¹⁶  He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.

Artificial intelligence

·         At this writing, Robert Bowers, the alleged Tree of Life Jewish Synagogue shooter was caught using Artificial Intelligence programed into a License Plate scanner that can compare and sort information in “real time” alerting authorities of location, speed and direction of travel. – ICE using “Vigilant Solutions” is tracking license plates; searching for undocumented immigrants and has collected and stored 2 billion license plate photos through the years. – There is no clear regulations about when, where or how this information can be utilized. – This is here NOW -

·         You cannot go into Walmart without your face being scanned and when you check out, your personal information is being logged. – Your every move is being tracked by your I-phone, scanners, cameras, even in elevators. – Everything is being logged.

·         Block Chain records all the transactions that are going on in cyberspace and keeps moving so that it cannot be hacked. Could the Beast be a “Ledger System” of transactions; could Bitcoin or a version like it be the Beast.  

·         The Book says that in the End Times the Antichrist will set up in the Temple’s Holy of Holies, an Image or Statue of the Beast that will be able to speak.

·         Have you ever wondered how this image can talk? - Do you have a weather radio? What you receive is the technology of “Speechify” Test-to-Speech system.  The voice is not a real person, but a computer generated voice speaking what has been typed into the computer system. - Now you know, it’s all ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. 

·         Do you own an Amazon Echo named ALEXA?  - It’s an Artificial Intelligence personal assistant. The device is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic and other real-time information.  It can also control several smart devices while acting as a home automation hub. – This is all here NOW -

Revelation 13:14-15 – The Image of the Beast could SPEAK
¹⁴ And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to MAKE A GREAT STATUE OF THE FIRST BEAST, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life.
¹⁵ He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it COULD SPEAK. Then the STATUE OF THE BEAST commanded that anyone refusing to worship it MUST DIE.

(NLT)

The Bible Code

·         A Code has emerged in the Bible that has been hidden for thousands of years and was discovered with the aid of computer technology, a code that runs throughout the Bible.  Events that have happened thousands of years after the Bible was written were revealed in this Bible Code.    Daniel was given an end time prophecy and was told to “SEAL IT UP” until the “Time of the End”, when many will rush here and there, and KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE.

·         Michael Drosnin has written “Bible Code” Books showing how this code was unlocked revealing World War II, the Moon landing, Watergate, both Kennedy assassinations, the election of Bill Clinton and the Oklahoma City bombings which were all foretold in the Bible Code.

·         Johnathan Wright TheCodesearcher.com has a YouTube presentation showing that the code reveals BLOCK-CHAIN; the ledger of tractions for BITCOIN is the BEAST and is a trap to take your money.  His advice is do not buy Bitcoin or you will fall into the TRAP of the Beast and lose your money. 

·         The ownership or purchase of Cryptocurrency is not a sin and if you have any of it, the worst thing that can happen to you is you will just simply lose your money.

Daniel 12:4 – Seal up this prophecy until the end times
⁴ But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE.” (NLT)

New World Order

·         The Book speaks of a NEW WORLD ORDER referring symbolically to it as 10 horns which are 10 World kingdoms and 7 crowns which are the G7 leaders and the 7 mountains which are the existing 7 powerful Regions; Italy, France, Germany, Britain, Canada, Japan and the United States. – They exist NOW –

·         There are 10 kings that have no power as of yet, but will be given control over the 10 kingdoms and will eventually give their power to the beast; the Antichrist.  It’s in the Book  

·         The one that rules over the New World Order will be given a number, a number of a man, the number of a representative; it will be the number of his name and his authority.  It is believed by many that this is a SEAT NUMBER in the New World Order assembly with the seat number of 666 – You can see the YouTube presentation of this if you have an hour.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EeFeaHb2vs 

·         Daniel interprets a vision or dream for the King of a huge statue that he sees that is made of different materials. - The two materials we are most interested in, is the fragile feet of the huge statue, made of Iron and Clay which causes the stature to crumble.

·         Iron is the Roman power structure and the Clay is Islam which is MIXED to unite them together. – This is the Muslim world living and mingling among the general population, but they will not cleave to one another as Iron will not mix with Clay – Muslims will not assimilate into the general population. -  THE NEW WORLD ORDER is the Iron and Clay.

Revelation 13:1 – 10 regions, 10 kings, the G7 leaders
¹ Then I saw a beast rising up out of the sea. It had SEVEN HEADS (G7 leaders) and TEN HORNS, (kingdoms) with TEN CROWNS (kings) on its horns. And written on each head were names that blasphemed God. (NLT)

Revelation 17:9 – The seven heads are the G7 leaders
⁹ This calls for a mind with understanding:

‘THE SEVEN HEADS OF THE BEAST represent the

SEVEN HILLS (regions) where the woman rules. They also REPRESENT SEVEN KINGS. (G7 leaders)

(NLT)

Revelation 12:3 - 10 kingdoms – Seven regions – Seven Leaders
³ Then I witnessed in heaven another significant event. I saw a LARGE RED DRAGON (Satan) with SEVEN HEADS (Regions) and TEN HORNS (kingdoms), with SEVEN CROWNS (G7 Leaders) on his heads. (NLT)

Revelation 17:12-13 – 10 kings give their power to the Antichrist
¹² The TEN HORNS of the beast (Antichrist) are TEN KINGS who have not yet risen to power. They will be appointed to their kingdoms for one brief moment (for a short period of time) to reign with the beast.
¹³ THEY WILL ALL AGREE TO GIVE HIM THEIR POWER AND AUTHORITY.

(NLT)

Revelation 13:17-18 – The G7 leader’s number is 666
¹⁷ And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his NAME.
¹⁸ Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the NUMBER OF THE BEAST, for it is the number of a man. HIS NUMBER IS 666.

(NLT)

Daniel 2:35 – The G7 leaders became a Great Mountain
³⁵ The whole statue was crushed into small pieces of iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. Then the wind blew them away without a trace, like chaff on a threshing floor. But THE ROCK that knocked the statue down BECAME A GREAT MOUNTAIN that covered the whole earth. (NLT)

Jeremiah 51:25 – God will destroy the G7 Mountain
²⁵ Look, O mighty MOUNTAIN, destroyer of the earth! I am your ENEMY,” says the LORD. “I will raise my fist against you, to knock you down from the heights. When I am finished, you will be nothing but a heap of burnt rubble. (NLT)

Daniel 2:31-35 – Daniel explains the Kings vision of Clay and Iron
³¹ In your vision, Your Majesty, you saw standing before you a huge, shining STATUE OF A MAN. It was a frightening sight.
³² The head of the statue was made of fine gold. Its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs were bronze,
³³ its legs were iron, and ITS FEET WERE A COMBINATION

OF IRON AND BAKED CLAY.
³⁴ As you watched, a rock was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands. It struck the feet of iron and clay, smashing them to bits.
³⁵ The whole statue was crushed into small pieces of IRON, CLAY, bronze, silver, and gold. … But the rock that knocked the statue down became a great mountain that covered the whole earth.

Daniel 2:42-43 – Muslims NOT assimilate into general population

⁴² But while some parts of it will be as strong as IRON, other parts will be as weak as CLAY.
⁴³ This mixture of iron and clay also shows that these kingdoms will try to strengthen themselves by forming alliances with each other through intermarriage. But THEY WILL NOT HOLD TOGETHER, just as IRON AND CLAY DO NOT MIX. (NLT)

Global Economy

·         President Obama said that the question of whether or not there will be a global international economy is; IT’S ALREADY HERE.

·         The “Better than Cash Alliance”  for THE ADVANCEMENT OF MOVING FROM CASH to a DIGITAL PAYMENT SOCIETY  is Financed by the Linda and Bill Gates foundation, Citi foundation, the Ford foundation, MasterCard, Visa and others.  - It’s here NOW. -

·         This is to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to JUSTICE for all and build effective, ACCOUNTABLE and inclusive institutions at all levels. (Rich or Poor)

Revelation 13:16 – Great or Small – Rich or Poor – THE MARK
¹⁶ He required everyone—

SMALL and GREAT, RICH and POOR, FREE and SLAVE—to be

given a MARK on the right hand or on the forehead.

Bubbles, Banks and the Beast

·         What makes the appeal of Bitcoin so strong is that it is not regulated by any world government and it is in a bubble all its own. - We had the Dotcom Bubble in 2000, then we had the Housing Bubble in 2008 and just a few years ago, you could count the number of types of cryptocurrencies on one hand and now in 2018 there are well over 700 crypto-currencies that are in an ever expanding Bubble. As more Cryptocurrencies increase, investors will begin to question the value of their wealth.  

·         When the bubble burst most will see the need for a Centralized Leger System controlled by the Government.  

·         Since the nature of Bitcoin is untraceable it makes it the “CURRENCY OF CHOICE” for the criminal minds with the common practice of kidnapping the data in your computer and demanding ransom in bitcoins to release the data.

·         New York Times reports: “Those threats have increased with the advent of RANSOMWARE; malicious software that encrypts victims’ data and prevents them from accessing it until they pay a ransom, which is often hundreds or thousands of dollars’ worth of bitcoin, a crypto-currency.”

·         Now from my point of view, the Government already hates Cryptocurrency because it is in completion with its National Currency, not to mention the TAX DOLLARS they are losing from the exchanging of goods and services. - The banks hate that they are losing out on the TRANSACTIONS FEES and are already implementing ways to exchange Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies.  New York has already implemented CRYPTOCURRENCY LICENSING to get a foot hold on controlling the Beast.

·         Satan may allow Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to flourish in order to suck the world into a ONE WORLD CURRENCY that fulfills his end-time plan for controlling man and his access to his money.

·         Bible prophecy would seem to indicate that crypto-currencies are going to have a short life. Once the bubble burst, it will be easy to argue that all digital money needs strong central control. Then under the MARK OF THE BEAST system, all transactions will be supervised by the Antichrist’s ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.

World Bank

·         The World Bank and the United Nations and the Accenture Corporation are working to integrate the biometric tracking and global identification of everyone on the planet for the ID4D Identification for development project.

·         World Bank, Accenture outline universal ID vision for developing nations October 2, 2015… Daniel Baker, Americas lead, Accenture Development Partnerships, said; “The World Bank seeks to establish a standardized integration approach for countries considering cost efficient Identity Management Initiatives, which ensure accuracy and minimize identity duplication and errors.

·         Accenture and Microsoft created a Block-Chain ID solution to support ID2020 Tracking global identity registry, by Land, Sea and Air as well as Tracking the no fly list through the Block-Chain technology biometric implant in the hand or forehead; RFID. – Block-Chain decentralized identities Global Artificial Intelligence.

·         Accenture Development Partnerships recognize the important contribution Accenture can make to the ID4D program, by deploying the skills and expertise of our developing nations on best practice NATIONAL IDENTITY PROGRAMS.

·         Accenture is working with Visa, to explore the future of Internet of things-based commerce by developing a Connected Car Proof-of-Concept. (Cubic Transportation Systems)

·         Connected In-Vehicle Information System: delivering in-vehicle signage known as Virtual Message Sign (VMS) enables an effective channel of communication into the built-in infotainment units on the car’s dashboard screen. - A series of virtual VMS messages will be presented in real time as the vehicle travels the course, demonstrated by a live video feed to the car via smartphone technology.

·         This technology is utilized to decrease urban congestion and improve the MILITARY’S effectiveness and operational readiness  provides networked; 1) Command, 2) Control, 3) Communications, 4) Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities for defense, intelligence, security and commercial missions.  – THIS IS NOW

It’s all in your head - The Global ID Implant  

·         Our planet has now been divided up into TEN REGIONS for the purpose of monitoring the planets resources, the Sustainable Development of energy, water and environment systems.

·         We have become an ELECTRONIC UNITED NATIONS divided up geo-political into TEN REGIONS called Global smart cities for the purpose of compliance of 17 sustainable goals that are tracked by ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

·         Biometric brain implants give people access to Intelligence and intelligence amplification received directly into their head through the INTERNET. – It’s here NOW -

·         Tariq Malik, Chief Technical Advisor, UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM and former chairman of the NATIONAL DATABASE AND REGISTRATION AUTHORITY, prior held the position of a Senior Technical Consultant at WORLD BANK and a core member of the team who helped to initiate the worldwide ‘ID for Development’ ID4D Program as well as authored the framework of international standards for DIGITAL IDENTITY.

·         Malik worked on a MULTI-BIOMETRIC SYSTEM resulting in registration of more than 121 million citizens along with their associated BIOMETRIC ATTRIBUTES.

·         ID4D brings global knowledge and expertise across sectors to help countries realize the transformational potential of digital identification systems. - It operates across THE WORLD BANK Group with global practices and units working on digital development, social protection, health, financial inclusion, governance, gender, and legal issues.

·         ID4D also focuses on ensuring integration of DIGITAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS with CIVIL REGISTRATION and VITAL STATISTICS (CVRS)

·         Biometric microchip implants that connect your brain to the internet is HERE NOW - The mobile phone of the future is being developed NOW and will be implanted in your head. Nanobots the size of blood cells can go inside the brain and connect the neo-cortex to the cloud wirelessly. - Because of their size it requires a large number to work together to perform microscopic and macroscopic task with some being able to replicate; to swarm.

·         Biometric implant Entry Exit-Visa Tracking System was implemented in 2018 at airports by the CBP; Customs and Border Protection. – This is NOW -

·         The “ID4D integration model” envisions an universal, multi-purpose system capable of supporting IDENTITY SERVICES for multiple stakeholders (National, Regional or International)

·         A National Id system provides foundational identity services as follows; Unique ID (derived from BIOMETRIC de-duplication) will be used as THE PRIMARY KEY TO LINK IDENTITIES in disparage databases; Demographic information remains in stakeholder system – not copied to National ID system beyond the ID4D schemes (and) enrollment quality will be assessed to identify quality trends / issues.

·         As part of this model, an “Integration Layer” will be used to enable stakeholders to interact through for the common interchange of information among the constituent registries.  Stakeholders could also provide services for others to use in the areas of; data management, MATCHING (e.g., identifications, verification), operations management and REPORTING.

·         Sustainable development Goal #01. - End poverty in all forms everywhere (rich and poor)

·         Sustainable Development Goal #16. - Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, ACCOUNTABLE and inclusive institutions at all levels. – By 2030 provide LEGAL IDENTITY for all INCLUDING BIRTH REGISTRATION.

·         ID4D Identification for Development Goal number 16; Peace, Justice and strong institutions, this sets up a digital economy tracked by the global ID implant. This is NOW

Genesis 11:6 – One World Government; nothing will be impossible
⁶ Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, NOTHING THEY SET OUT TO DO WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM! (NLT)

Genesis 11:7 – Bitcoin universal currency language
⁷ Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.” (NLT)

Revelation 20:4 – Believers NOT taken the Mark or Worshipped
⁴ Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. THEY HAD NOT WORSHIPED THE BEAST OR HIS STATUE, nor accepted his mark on their forehead or their hands. They all came to life again, and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (NLT)

Revelation 14:9-10 – Receiving the MARK brings God’s wrath
⁹ Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who WORSHIPS the BEAST and his STATUE or who accepts his

MARK on the FOREHEAD or on the HAND
¹⁰ MUST DRINK THE WINE OF GOD’S ANGER. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. (NLT)

Daniels Prophecy

·         The symbolic Woman in Daniel’s prophecy is Jerusalem, the capital of their NEW WORLD ORDER with global power and authority over the G7 nations. - The dominion over all the kingdoms of the world and the world’s economy is part of the plan that God has placed in their minds to carry out His purposes which includes an ISLAMIC invasion of Jerusalem to establish this global political authority.

·         The hour of temptation is coming when everybody in society, both small and great, rich and poor will be required to take the Mark of the Beast in order to buy or sell anything.

·         No one can buy or sell, unless they have the mark. – This would of course involve a global banking system.

·         144,000 will NOT take the Mark, the number of the beast, but are sealed or marked by God Himself. - Believers anchored in Christ will NOT take the mark of the beast and they will be protected during this time of TESTING.  This testing is not for the Believer, but to point out and prove those who belong to the World.

·         God plainly tells you to N0T drink the Cool Aid; DON’T TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST even if it is to get your family food to keep them from dying of starvation.

Revelation 17:18 The Woman represents Jerusalem
¹⁸ And this woman you saw in your vision represents the great city that rules over the kings of the world.” (NLT)

Revelation 17:3 – The Woman is Jerusalem with the G7 Nations
³ So the angel took me in the Spirit into the wilderness. There I saw A WOMAN sitting on a scarlet beast that had SEVEN HEADS and ten horns, and blasphemies against God were written all over it. (NLT)

Revelation 17:16 – Islamic invasion of Jerusalem
¹⁶ The scarlet beast and his ten horns all hate the prostitute. They will strip her naked, eat her flesh, and burn her remains with fire.

Revelation 17:17 – Jerusalem’s Global Power reigns world economy
¹⁷ For God has put a plan into their minds, a plan that will carry out his purposes. They will agree to give their authority to the scarlet beast, and so the words of God will be fulfilled.

(NLT)

Revelation 13:16 – Great or Small – Rich or Poor – THE MARK
¹⁶ He required everyone—

small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be

GIVEN A MARK ON THE RIGHT HAND OR ON THE FOREHEAD.

Revelation 13:17 – No one buy or sell anything without the mark
¹⁷ And no one could BUY OR SELL ANYTHING

without that MARK, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. (NLT)

Revelation 7:3-4 – 144,000 do not take the number of the beast
³ Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we

put a SEAL on the FOREHEADS of the SERVANTS of our God.”
⁴ Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. (NIV2011)

Revelation 3:10 – Believers NOT taking the MARK be protected

¹⁰ Because you have obeyed my command to persevere,

I WILL PROTECT YOU from the great time of TESTING that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world. (NLT)

Revelation 14:9-10 – Don’t drink the Cool Aid of the MARK
⁹ Then a third angel followed them, shouting,

“ANYONE WHO WORSHIPS THE BEAST and his statue or who ACCEPTS HIS MARK on the forehead or on the hand
¹⁰ MUST DRINK THE WINE OF GOD’S ANGER. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be TORMENTED with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels. (NLT)

Voices for Cryptocurrencies

·         Like Confederate Money; paper money will soon disappear forever except in a museum especially as more and more business is conducted on the internet and also because counterfeiting will soon be impossible to prevent because of the Advanced technology of   3-D printers; making cryptocurrencies the most convenient alternative for security.

·         With government-backed currencies, a central bank can print more money driving its value down, but Bitcoin cryptocurrency is fixed and with a limited supply. - Even though Bitcoin’s Block-Chain records are public they still offers a greater level of privacy protection and anonymity as each transaction is tied to an online address rather than information that is related to a person's identity.

·         Christians who support Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin use the scriptures from Solomon that encourages you to invest in “Foreign Trade” to make a profit and currently the only viable foreign trade in the world is cryptocurrencies.

·         Solomon recommends that you have your investments in several places because you do not know what kind of bad luck you are going to run into.

·         The book of James is used to encourage the Christian to not procrastinate in making investments, you don’t know what tomorrow will bring and it may be too late.

Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 - Invest in Bitcoin and other foreign money
¹ SEND YOUR GRAIN ACROSS THE SEAS, and in time, profits will flow back to you.
² But DIVIDE YOUR INVESTMENTS AMONG MANY PLACES, for you do not know what risks might lie ahead.

(NLT)

Proverbs 27:23 – Know what’s in the Legers
²³ KNOW THE STATE OF YOUR FLOCKS, and put your heart into caring for your herds,

(NLT)

James 4:13-14 – Don’t procrastinate invest now future uncertain
¹³ Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. WE WILL DO BUSINESS THERE AND MAKE A PROFIT.”
¹⁴ How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.

(NLT)

The Take Away

·         Things are not what they seem anymore, they are Trojan Horses with spyware inside. – If you type “BOAT” on Facebook; the right column fills up with advertisements for boats. - Folks sign up for a free app to make their phone a flashlight and it now it’s tracking their every activity. - Advertisement are no longer for the general public, they are targeted to your specific thoughts. - Today when you sign up for an application for your computer or Smart phone, you have no idea what the real reason is that you got it FREE, but you can be sure that there is always something else hidden that’s running in the background.

·         So many of my personal transactions are now processed on the internet whether it be banking or ordering office supplies and books. Like electronic banking, Cryptocurrencies will certainly dominate the future of electronic transactions.

·         I am not giving investment advice, just Biblical advice and you should determine what the Bible is personally speaking to you. – Many think the future of money is in Cryptocurrency and it will eventually replace the U.S. dollar. However many others say Bitcoin is worthless, and this current runaway bubble is certainly about to burst.

·         NOTE: There are two parts to trading; 1) Making it and 2) Keeping it. -  There is a term called “Sh*t Coin Pump”; this is when a bunch of traders get together and buy a stock or coin like crazy in order to PUMP the “sh*t stock” as high as the moon, then dump it on ignorant unsuspecting buyers. 

·         Block-Chain records are public and stored over a vast decentralized network of computers all over the world, this makes cryptocurrency counterfeiting almost impossible since altering any past records requires widespread collusion across the entire network.  This makes it impossible to hack, whereas commercial banks records exist in a centralized location making it vulnerable to hackers.

·         The voices for Bitcoin champions its anonymity because each Bitcoin is linked to a specific public address and not to a person's physical name or home address, but it is realistic to believe that HACKERS or GOVERNMENTS will eventually be able to go behind a Bitcoin address and unmask the real identity of the person’s mailbox. 

·        The Antichrist will need a SYSTEM capable of tracking every transaction on earth in order to control who can buy and who can sell. - The public records made possible by “Block-Chain”; the technology of the future, is just the SYSTEM. 

·         Bitcoin was invented by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto who authored the bitcoin white paper, and created and deployed bitcoin's original reference implementation and released the open-source software in 2009.  As part of the implementation, he or they also devised the first Block-Chain database. – Since the implementation of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto has DISAPPEARED and his identity remains anonymous. - What if he is the Antichrist?

·         The Bitcoin Cash network is a way to SUPPORT THE BEAST and make money MINING bitcoins at the same time.

• God is Omnipotence; all powerful, He is Omnipresent; everywhere at once, He is Omniscient, He contains all knowledge, whereas Satan has very limited power, he can only be at one place at a time and can only know what he or his minions have heard us say with our mouths.
• With Block-Chain technology that of an Open Public Ledger of transactions kept by billions of people all over the earth, Satan and the Anti-Christ are essentially now everywhere at once and know everything we are doing and has become more powerful than he has ever been before; he has become like a god.

·         It is the breakthrough technology behind Bitcoin of Block-Chain that will now cause the One World Currency to be embraced for all financial transactions and right on its heels will be the One World Religion and the One World Government which framework is already in place.

·         The ownership or purchase of Cryptocurrency is not a sin and if you have any of it, and if you need the Mark of the Beast to spend it, the worst thing that can happen to you is you will just simply lose your money. – The Sin is NOT the money, it’s what you MUST do in order to access it and be able to buy and sell with it. – It is my opinion that when you mine for Bitcoin Cash, you are unknowingly helping Satan become all knowing through the “Block-Chain” global leger system.

·         What if your computer was hi-jacked or kidnapped and your password to your finances was locked and you could not access it? – Would you pay the ransom to unlock it? - Would you take the MARK to get to your finances?

·         What if the MARK OF THE BEAST is a BIOMETRIC ID IMPLANT in your head or an RFID implant in your hand that stores the password that allows you to accesses your finances?  

- It’s in the Book -

Matthew 6:33 – Seek Kingdom of God, NOT Mark of the beast
³³ SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD above all else, and live righteously,

and HE WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

(NLT)

Revelation 14:9-10 – Don’t drink the Cool Aid of the MARK
⁹ Then a third angel followed them, shouting,

“ANYONE WHO WORSHIPS THE BEAST and his statue or who ACCEPTS HIS MARK on the forehead or on the hand
¹⁰ MUST DRINK THE WINE OF GOD’S ANGER. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be TORMENTED with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the LAMB. (NLT)

In the multitude of counselors,

there is wisdom.

Proverbs 11:14

I am grateful to those that went before me providing concepts, ideas, historical

information, and scripture verses.  Because of them I can stand on their shoulders

                         and see further that I otherwise ever could have.
