The global oligarchs are pushing harder than ever for a global cashless society with a programmable digital currency (CBDC). The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), a private globalist banker owned entity, seems to be the vehicle to bring the tyranny it represents to the world.
The idea is that each person is given a unique digital identity and that is connected to a cashless digital wallet that is initially kept on a smartphone, or wristwatch and eventually stored on a microchip injected under the skin. No chance of losing it then.
With this type of all-encompassing system, each person is ranked and controlled through their Social Credit Score as well as the programmable currency. This certainly sounds like the control system prophesied in the book of Revelation chapter 13, called the mark of the beast. It could be interpreted to mean a digital currency system implemented by a coming global world dictator, called the beast, in the end time events leading up to the final judgment at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six. [666]
Revelation 13:16-18
There is fear surrounding this idea of a mark of the beast digital currency system because those who do not wish to comply with such totalitarian dictatorship fear how they might feed themselves and their families if they do not use it to buy food and pay their bills.
The fear revolves around the notion that if you take the mark of the beast (whatever that does turn out to be) then that means you will be damned to hell. But that is not the case at all and I will show you why from the scriptures.
The key requirement to be damned to hell is not that you accept some digital identity and/or a digital currency system, even an implanted microchip in your hand, but that you worship the Satan possessed beast.
If any man worship the beast and his image, AND receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, AND whoever receives the mark of his name.
Revelation 14:9-11
This verse gives clearly the key requirement. In those verses I have capitalised the word ‘AND’ for emphasis. A person must BOTH worship the beast or Satan AND take the mark of the beast. Both are required to be damned and tormented in hellfire!
Already many of our identity records are digitised. These include driver’s license, home title, healthcare like Medicare, etc. So if you are registered on a digital database with all your personal details, including drivers license, health records, tax records, home title and bank details which can be accessed though a digital device like a smartphone or an injectable microchip, how could that damn you to hell? It can’t! But it could make your life difficult if you don’t obey what the oligarchs want. Those same tyrants could cut off your ability to pay rent or buy food or sell goods to get food.
But that in of itself does not mean you are damned. That is a stereotype that we have become to accept but it is not correct biblically.
Regardless of whether you are on some digital block chain or not, God has promised to supply all your needs according to His riches (Philippians 4:19). Jesus said:
25 Therefore I say to you, Take no [anxious] thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
Matthew 6:25-26
If you put your trust in Jesus Christ our heavenly Father will feed you no matter what. You shouldn’t be anxious about food or clothing in the coming world tyranny. So even if the coming digital control system (digital ID and digital currency) is the biblically prophesied mark of the beast as long as you do not worship the beast/Satan your eternal destiny is assured.
You can take the mark of the beast and not be damned to hell!
We have a few other promises of God that supports this view.
Followers of God have always had to endure tribulation, trials and testing. Why should we be any different?
Through the Apostle Paul we are told as follows:
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:35-39
Nothing is able to separate us from the love of God. No evil principalities or powers including Satan could do that.
If you truly are a follower of Christ you should expect trouble from the world. We are seeing this now more than we have for a long time. Christ’s teaching is under fire. The very fact that He said He was God, the eternally existent One, the I AM, makes anyone who follows Him a target for the Christ haters. If they hate Jesus they will hate you also. If you are unashamed and standing for Jesus Christ the King of kings He will stand for you in His coming kingdom.
13 And you shall be hated of all men for My name’s sake: but he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.
Mark 13:13
To ‘endure to the end’ means to run the race, to keep the faith, until we die or are resurrected as His Second Coming. To do that we must call on Jesus who alone can achieve that through us if we are faithful.
2 Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2
Following Christ means that we do not partake of this world and its Satanic worship.
10 Proving what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatever does make manifest is light. 14 Why he said, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.
Ephesians 5:10-14
Have no fellowship or communion with Satanic works and religions! But rather reprove them, which means call them out for the evils that the perpetrators are trying to force onto the world. For example, bioweapon deaths shots called vaccines, the child mutilating trans-agenda, and the child murders via abortions. Abortion is child sacrifice. The transsexual body mutilating and sterilizing program that elites are forcing on children is as demonic as you could get.
Awake from sleep! Open your eyes to the deception of Satan! Expose his evil ways! But have no fear what Satan may bring! If you have no choice and use a digital ID and digital currency (CBDC) system to feed you family it will not affect your eternal destiny.

Revelation 14:9-10: says “…If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.”
This clearly sounds like when one worships the beast they will want to have (receive) the beast’s mark on/in their forehead or hand. It is a deliberate act of allegiance; moreover, outright worship of the beast. As such it won’t be done unknowingly.
It would appear that taking the mark of the beast is a blasphemous act of willful defiance against God. Receiving the mark of the beast is essentially worshipping Satan. Those who take the mark have made the choice to serve Satan rather than obey God and receive Christ as Savior. When people make that decision during the tribulation, God will grant their request to be eternally separated from Him.

But it could be like boiling the frog. The realisation of the digital ID/cashless system may not be initially identified with the mark. And if someone is locked into such a control system against their will, ie. to get food to survive, as a believer trusting in the Lord, they should not be anxious or fearful because the Lord has promised to take care of them.

I can see what you are getting at, re morphing into worship the beast (ie bit by bit) but Scripture is saying, there is a point when a person would know unequivocally that what they are doing is outright worshipping the beast by receiving his mark (what ever that is) on/in their forehead or hand.
For example, the act of worshipping Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel chapter 3, was to bow down to his image when the people heard the music: “4 And the herald proclaimed aloud, “You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, 5 that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. 6 And whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace.””
And we know that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego weren’t going to do this, even if it cost them their lives.
Likewise in Revelation when referring to worshipping the beast, it is talking about a clear delineation, ie worship will be shown by the deliberate act of receiving of the mark of the beast. Yes, people might get this mark because they want to buy and sell, and this ‘want’ could be driven by necessity, ie to eat and survive, but they will know by doing so, they are prepared to worship the beast. In effect, saying, “I will do whatever it takes to live!”
At present, having a credit card and getting a digital ID (soon to come in), and similar, is not worshipping the beast. But we can see how things could change very quickly, and the power to be (ie the beast), via the prophet, will eventually say, “You cannot buy or sell until you worship me …. and have my mark on/in your forehead or hand.”

I agree. Like we see developing now, the digital ID system could well be called the mark but only when you add the imperative to worship the beast does that say you are rejecting God and following Satan. So I stand by my statement that someone could fully partake of the digital ID/cashless wallet but still reject worship of the beast. No one will so lose their mind that they cannot choose to not worship Satan just because they use a digital ID linked to a universal control grid. There may come a time when that will be a choice to make. For example, if you don’t choose to worship some global dictator as god, then your credit in the cashless wallet will be set to zero.
We essentially have such a choice in Western Australia now. Parents are offered some digital currency for their children is they sign up for the digital ID. So by accepting that they are not acknowledging that they worship the beast but in the future such a system could be changed to force them to make such a choice. But it would still be a choice. Then if they chose not to worship the beast, their financial support would be cut off. Then they would have to trust the Lord in what He supplies.

The point is that the digital cashless identity isn’t the Mark.

An interesting thought, Gideon, and well-reasoned.
In Revelation 20 we read:
Revelation 20:4 KJV
[4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
I see the mark as being one of the factors that could condemn a person to eternal death, at least in the reading of the verse. However, I don’t think it is a mark in the typical understanding of the Christian churches, and tend towards a similar conclusion as you, that it is a case of both worshipping the beast or satan, and receiving the mark. But could they be but one and the same?
Exodus 13 gives account of the exodus of His people from Egypt and is best read in full and context. Note, however, Exodus 13:9-10
[9] And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt. [10] Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year. [KJV]
The reference to the sign between the eyes (forehead) and on the hand is that of signalling assent or consent. This is too close to the place where the mark of the beast will be located to be ignored too quickly. Might it be, then, that the mark is a sign of assent? In the case of the ability to buy and sell, might this mark be something received when a person consents to the terms and conditions of a contract to participate?
When God gave us the Law, with it came the legal framework for its operation, which implies contractual obligations and constraints. Many people have signed contracts without reading the wording, especially the fine print. I long ago lost count of how many people called me in a panic to ask if I could find loophole in contracts that they signed to buy a car or a property. With cars, I never found one, as these contracts are binding and bind tightly.
We readily tick the box on apps that say we agree to the terms and conditions, but few would read them.
I don’t know for sure, but I anticipate a contract with the banks (and we know who controls that system) will eventually include a well concealed – or perhaps not so co concealed – clause by which people agree to reject the Bible and/or Jesus Christ, the TEN Commandments, and so on. Think of Esau and his hasty decision when his belly overcame his mind. Though he regretted it, he was condemned
Hebrews 12:16-17 KJV
[16] Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. [17] For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
I am quite convinced that the condemnation comes not from receiving the mark (as you point out we could already be doing in the form of digital functions), but we must be extremely careful when we are agreeing to or GIVING ASSENT to terms of apps and services.
In conclusion, as Solomon wrote: Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV
[13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Despite the conclusion of the wisest man apart from Jesus Christ, Christians boast that the Law is no longer applicable. Strange, indeed.
By the way, I don’t agree that Romans 8:35-39 supports your article. You have already stated you do not want to engage in discussion on the point, but in context of the topic, I reaffirm that I believe this is referring to His people Israel (not the Zionist Jews) as clearly seen in chapters 9, 10, and 11. I accept that an amillennialist and premillennialist will never agree on that, but please, appreciate it influences our respective views.
