Cashless Payment Systems Headlines in 2017 and Bible Prophecy?

Cashless Payment Systems and Bible Prophecy?

Cashless Payment Systems and the Cashless Society is gaining momentum in many countries around the globe. Checking News Feeds in 2017 recently reveals a huge increase in the keyword "Cashless" coming up in the global headlines,. With many countries starting to increasingly adopt cashless forms of payment either in preference to cash OR as the only form of payment available when this new form of payment is introduced.

This article is a follow on article from previous articles that skim the surface of the emerging cashless society or my personal experience with it, and looks at the latest emerging headlines around the globe and where we are heading in the not too distant future.

Cashless Payments Around the Globe
London has adopted cashless on it's public transport system including TheTube. The Buses were the latest in 2014, which has led to other transport companies following the same route outside of London.

Sweden is currently the world leader with most transactions being conducted via cashless means. In 2015, cash transactions formed a miniscule 2% of all value payments in Sweden. Swish is by far the most popular of the payment apps that allow realtime transfer of money in between people in Sweden. It is used by more than 50% of the population making over 9 million payments a month.

India is increasingly going down the cashless route with the Indian Government forcefully introducing the system (s) and making the world headlines as a result, many are saying that India is a test case being monitored by the US? In November, India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, introduced a surprise ban on the country’s largest currency bills, 500 and 1,000 rupee in an effort to make cashless payments the more attractive and viable option. It caused chaos as a result. WHY? India is wholly dependent on cash just to tick. Between 90% and 98% of transactions are cash-based. The equivalent figure in Western Europe is 68%. The reason for this cashless payment push by the India’s PM is it's difficult to sustain a black market, or avoid tax, if every transaction leaves a trail, as all electronic transactions do. This in effect kills the black market economy and the associated illegal activity, which in theory means more taxes and revenue in the governments coffers.

In South Korea, only 20% of transactions are cash-based. The plan there is to remove all coins from circulation by 2020. The government is urging consumers to put their small change onto ‘T-Money’ cards — electronic travel passes that can also be used in convenience stores.
In Amsterdam try paying for a coffee in a coffee shop with hard cash, most have gone over to some form of cashless payment system. According to Cafe owners they no longer need bulky tills and tedious visits to the bank and the threat of being robbed has been reduced to zero. (In theory)

Payment methods at present for cashless tend to be either Debit or Credit Card, Contactless Payment Cards, Swipe Cards or other forms of card that will only work with a particular company or service or are done via Apps on Mobile Devices such as Apple Pay and Android Pay. RFID and Biometrics is another emerging form of payment but is still in it's technological infancy but is also gathering pace especially in the US.

Germany is currently at a strange and maybe unintentional logger heads with Brussels who is planning to steam roller cashless payment systems across the Euro Zone. Germany is one of the few countries at present that shows a stubborn loyalty to cash much to the annoyance of the plans of Brussels, with still 80% of transactions conducted using the traditional payment method.

Latest enforced examples
Here's some examples of cashless payments that are being forced onto us whether we like it or not.

Motorway Tolls (Many countries are introducing)
Cashless Airports (China World 1st)
Cashless Public Transport (London and Worldwide)
Cashless Supermarket (Amazon)
Cashless Coffee Shop (Europe)
Road Taxing and Congestion Charging (some countries employing compulsory RFID in cars as a means of monitoring and also payment)

The general consensus seems to be that little resistance is being met by the General public around the world with the introduction of what seems to be compulsory cashless payment only systems. It seems people blindly accept the new circumstances blinded by the benefits and unaware of the information that is given in return.

The touted Cashless Payments benefits?
Obviously the incentive to go cashless means faster payments, shorter queues, no need for bulky wallets, no more queueing in banks or at cash machines, no more bulky and heavy change, shops and other services have less hassle with handling cash and governments state that cashless payments remove the ability for cash to be misused such as in money laundering and terrorist financing purposes, tax evasion, payment of illegal immigrants.....the list goes on. These are the benefits you often see touted which act as a sweetener to adopting any form of cashless payment system. But there is a downside to this often utopian or nirvana billed payment system which in reality is highly skewed towards the Big Brother mentality. While some of the changes may benefit the consumer, there’s little question that they all benefit traders, service providers, and finance houses but it's the Governments ultimately that reap the huge rewards.


The pluses and minuses of Cash
Cash has the important feature of offering anonymity to transactions. Such anonymity may be desired for legitimate reason (e.g. protection of privacy). But, such anonymity can also be misused for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes. The possibility to conduct large cash payments facilitates money laundering and terrorist financing activities because of the difficulty to control cash payment transactions.
Europe has taken the draconian step to remove the €500 note and impose limits on cash transactions in a move to limit the size of cash transactions meaning larger payments have to be made via some form of cashless payment system.

The Dark Side to Cashless Payments Economy. What they don't tell you?
Cashless payments are still a recent form of payment beyond the online world as in the hard world we live in. But if we are heading rapidly towards some sort of New World Order scenario where governments make cash illegal, the need for cash will not disappear. The Governments will just end up creating a black market. If we then end up in a world where there’s no longer any spare change, how do charity collectors or the homeless or beggars on the street or street artists and musicians and small new business set ups get by and those that live on the margins of societies such as gypsies.? Issue them with card readers?
These latest headlines demonstrate that for every new technology there will always be something developed that can hack into that technology and do whatever it wants, and we are still in the very early stages of Cashless Payment Adoption.

How does the Cashless Society fit in with Bible Prophecy?
As stated in many previous articles the Beast System is crucially mentioned in the Bok of Revelation in Revelation 13. What we are seeing developing you could say is just modern day society evolving into it's next technological phase removing the need for cash in our society and moving towards a brighter and braver new world?. Flipping the coin reveals a more conspiracy loaded theory that the cashless payment system is all part of a larger scenario where every detail of our lives will be recorded and monitored. The Cashless Payment System is just another form of Surveillance.
It's the way it seems to be forcibly introduced in some countries by mainly Governments, with very little say or input from the public at large, seems to suggest that the benefits that cashless brings to the man on the street is far outweighed by the benefits that a cashless system brings to major institutions and ultimately Central Governments in their ability to monitor our every move. There seems to ultimately be a darker side to this cashless payment system that most who adopt it are not really aware of but choose to ignore the consequences in order to gain the hip and cool benefits.
Those who are unable or unwilling to adopt any form of cashless payment system in the utter could become marginalised as a result and as mentioned in Revelation 13:17
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.

So is the cashless payment system possibly the "Mark" mentioned in Revelation 13? Personally I think the Mark is as stated many times before a "spiritual" mark and identifier that will not take the form of say Biometrics or an RFID chip or similar. BUT the Beast System I think will be digital which is what the Cashless Payment system is based on, in some shape or form. What we could be seeing here is the precursor and early stages to a system or society where initially cash becomes illegal then cards or mobile payments will go the same way and some form of compulsory chip or identifier (implantable or not) will become the universal norm. To gain the chip you need to show a religious affiliation to that person mentioned in the Prophetic Revelation 13, so the mark is not the chip itself but the thought (forehead) and actions (hand) that a particular person adopts, the technology is just the means to access the system including Digital ID and Cashless Payment System.

Those who do not worship the Beast which will include Christians (if we are still here) will be denied access to the cashless payment system or any other corresponding ID systems which will result in those people being marginalised and living on the edge of society and having to create their own black market economy. These people would be easy targets for persecution or worse, which is what the system in Revelation 13 is designed to bring about.

So is the emerging Cashless Payment System something to be concerned about. Initially, no the benefits will far outweigh any shortcomings. BUT as more people get onboard it will become apparent further down the line that we have just subjected ourselves to yet another measure of surveillance just like cookies on websites, and returning to the more anonymous cash will not be an option!

The Mark of the Beast. What form will it take?

What form will the mark of the Beast take?

Many people and of course Christians are concerned about the coming Mark of the Beast, (myself included) mentioned in the Book of Revelation and wonder what form it will take. With the development of new emerging technologies people are wondering whether these new technologies that are slowly being introduced around the globe, are in fact "The Mark" mentioned in the Book of Revelation?

This is a follow on article from one of my earlier posts on RFID and Biometric´s but goes into greater detail investigating what the actual "Mark" will be and what form it will take, because initial information from the Bible is sketchy to say the least. That´s on first impressions. All Christians know that we are not to take this "Mark" at whatever cost.... even if it means death. The thing is how do you know what mark not to take... if you don´t know what it is in the first place?? This is where the confusion lies. This article aims to get at the bottom of this and see what the answer is and clear away any fog and confusion. This is going to be kept as simple as possible.

Introduction
Here´s some interesting facts. One full third of the Bible is Prophecy History written in advance! God foretells major events before they happen. Here´s the thing, over 80 percent of Bible prophecy remains unfulfilled. Many major events must yet come to pass! Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 are parallel accounts of Christ’s greatest prophecy and also including Matthew 25.

The Book of Revelation however is 100% Prophecy penned by St John the Divine and is arguably one of the best known and also one of the most controversial books in the Bible. After reading this Book the first impressions are an overwhelming feeling of disaster, catastrophe, destruction, chaos and confusion with light at the end of the tunnel and events the likes of which the world has never seen and as the Book of Revelation says....... will never see again. It´s the classic battle of Good V Evil.

The famous Mark of the Beast Bible Quote

The verse about the Mark of the Beast is well known, films have been made about it, and even non believers are aware of the Bible quote but still people wonder what this mark actually is. So here is the infamous Bible verse about the "Mark of the Beast" from the Book of Revelation that sheds light on this matter. Let´s look at this verse in a close up analytical word for word basis:

Revelation 13:16-18
16. And he causeth 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 hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Summarising the Chapter 13 infamous verses what is it saying?

1. The mark is something that will involve the vast majority of people
2. The mark is something inside...it is not external (IN their foreheads....IN their right hands)
3. The consequences of the mark go beyond having money to buy things. When buy and sell are seen together it means trade. Therefore those without the mark will not be able to earn a living or engage in business. They will have no income and will be homeless and starving and will be marginalised from society.
4. The location of this Mark is either in the forehead or the right hand the word OR is used in the verse.

And then a Chapter later the Mark is mentioned again from God´s perspective also in The Book of Revelation
9. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, 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: (Rev 14:9-10).

Notice in this second quote it mentions hand and not right hand and the word "worship" is prominent!

So what exactly will the Mark look or be like?

Many people who have studied Revelation extensively differ widely as to the exact nature of the "Mark of the Beast". The popular one is the implanted chip view (currently known as RFID), other speculations include maybe a government program (e.g., National ID cards, Social Security numbers), a microchip, a bar code that is tattooed into the skin, others feel the Nazi swastika, some think the Worldwide Web (or “www”) is the mark. A few say that the Mark is simply something that identifies someone as being faithful to the Antichrist's kingdom. maybe with the numbers "666" in there somewhere? The last view requires the least amount of bending the scripture to fit some pre-concieved notion or idea. It does not add or subtract any of the existing information as to what the Bible gives us. Any of the before mentioned could be "The Mark", but most are mere speculations and cannot be proved conclusively by scripture.



When you delve deeper though, God clearly explains in His Word (as in the Bible) what this mark actually is. When the predicted political or military leader known as the Beast rises to power amidst the New World Order, the world will be split into two distinct groups and it´s quite simple. Group 1 is those who obey the Beast (The Dark) and Group 2 is those who refuse to obey (The Light). There will be no half way house or as I call them "The Greys" that exist today!. The mark is definitely an obedience or allegiance thing and not something physical. The decision to accept or reject the mark will present a great world test. All people will face it. Those who take it will suffer the wrath of God during the Tribulation; those who refuse it will have his favor and will not suffer God´s wrath during said Tribulation period.

The key as always is just stick to the Word as in the Bible and you will find your answer.

Satan the Devil will be the spiritual power behind the Beast (Revelation 13:2), and he invariably counterfeits God's way to deceive even true believers into forsaking the truth (II Corinthians 11:13-15; Matthew 24:24). The Beast's system will therefore be a counterfeit of God's Mark, and its mark—or identifying sign—a counterfeit of God's sign, the Sabbath (Exodus 31:13-17; Ezekiel 20:12). It is more likely, then, that the mark of the Beast will be an enforced "day of worship"—and it will not be the seventh-day Sabbath as in the Christian faith or in Judaism (although both those days vary they follow the same principle)!

The key here to understand the "Mark of the Beast" is to find out what the exact opposite is, as in God´s version, that´s if there is one?

So What is God´s mark?

There are five verses in the Bible that refer to a “seal of God” or an object or person sealed by God (John 6:27; 2 Timothy 2:19; Revelation 6:9; 7:2; and 9:4). Those who have this "Mark of God" or "Seal of God" are protected from the effects of the Tribulation. An example is Revelation 9 below which takes place during the Fifth Trumpet judgement.

Revelation 9:3-4
3. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads.

The individuals who are marked by God are preserved and are also quite clearly right there in the middle of the Tribulation. It is obvious the "mark of God" is not something physical or Tech in nature because this mark has existed since the beginning of time. This is also why personally I do not believe in the Pre Tribulation Rapture theory as we are quite clearly still here as stated in the above Bible verse and is stated in many verses in Revelation during the Tribulation. Christians are still here but in a protected form via the Seal or Mark of God.


The frontal lobe of the human brain is the area where a person makes decisions. With his hands, he performs actions, deeds or works. Through the “right hand,” a person acts upon choices made in his “forehead” the decision making part of the mind! What happens if you are left handed is unclear?

A similar quote exists in the Old Testament in Deuteronomy 6:8
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

Here, God is commanding obedience to His Law through a “sign” upon the hand and “frontlet” , It symbolizes obedience to God’s commandments in the mind and through one’s actions.

Romans 6:16 reveals more on the subject of obedience: “Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey…”

Just as a Christian obeys God and therefore belongs to Him, a person with the mark described in Revelation 13:16-18 obeys and belongs to someone called the Beast. A Christian will fear God and obey his laws, commandments and statutes and this new Beast System and the mark is designed to flush out those who will quite categorically not follow this system or take the mark. Those who obey God and refuse to follow the laws of the Beast’s government system, including taking his mark, will stand out to those around them. The big decider will be the Sabbath Day or Seventh Day, people with the Mark of the Beast will probably have a completely different day further differentiating themselves from Christians. This will be a clear test of faith to all Christians and the entire world will be watching. The price for this disobedience is quite clearly beheading or living in the wilderness and off grid as is witnessed in one of the closing verses in the Book of Revelation.

Revelation 20:4
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.

So what actually is the Mark then?
Based on scripture it is clear that the Mark is not something physical. The mark is a persons loyalty, beliefs, actions and thoughts and ultimately their spirtuality and obedience and who they worship, there is only one way to produce this. Studies have proven the front part of the brain near the forehead is the part which controls that persons actions carried out by their hands (most people are right handed). The Beast system will be a new False Religious system that will be the counterfeit to Christianity or a NEW False Christianity with a FALSE God and FALSE Christ that will perform many signs and wonders. Many will fall for it,(including Christians thinking it´s the second coming and the setting up of the Millenial Kingdom) and they will end up taking this Mark which which will change that persons loyalty, beliefs, actions, thoughts and ultimately their spirituality and obedience away from God.

In the Christian sense the Mark of God is when someone is "Saved" or "Born Again" and have the HOLY SPIRIT. They are "Sealed"by their belief and repentance and are in God´s faith and therefore it is a Spiritual Mark and not a physical one and will affect their actions, thoughts and beliefs and spirituality and who they worship. The "Mark of the Beast" will be exactly the same, but the opposite, and will be presented as possibly the TRUE Chrisitanity when in fact it is the counterfeit or false version. This would rule out technology such as Bar Code Tattoos, Biometric´s and the RFID chip, Iris Scans and certainly The Swastika?

If the Mark is Spiritual is it no problem taking the RFID chip or similar?

In theory it should not be a problem to take the RFID chip if it is introduced globally. But here´s the thing, it´s clear that a Beast System is being prepared in our world today commonly known as the highly controversial New World Order and part of that is creating a one world government and database which would involve some form of global ID, Biometrics and possible global RFID chip implementation.This is happening right now as we speak as part of the 2030 Agenda Program. This would enable access to banking, social security, hospital and health records/data/services, public transport, driving licence records, passport, door access and the rest. It´s still in it´s infancy but millions of pets have these implants already (recently made compulsory in the UK) The RFID chip is a very close match to the "Mark" mentioned in Revelation but the problem is it is physical in nature and not spiritual.

Should you take the chip it if it becomes available is another question. If you are a Christian, "discernment" is the key word here and I would ask yourself this question.

"Why is it essential to inject a grain of rice sized microchip into the human body when that same thing could be placed into a card with some sort of security device embedded such as fingerprint or voice recognition?

Once you´ve answered that question you will have your answer to whether you should take the chip or not. If you want my advice don´t take the injectable form just get the external version (that´s if there is one) but if you want my simple opinion "I´m wary of RFID"

Summary.
This in my opinion is what "The Mark" actually is, it´s a loyalty and obedience to a particular faith and the Mark is not something Physical in nature. It´s internal and something that cannot be injected or inherited, and it is Spiritual and is not based on any form of Technology. The mark is often called a Seal when in reference to a "Seal of God" and in my opinion scripture is stressing that the Seal is someone who has the Holy Spirit, follows the Ten Commandments and observes the Sabbath Day. That´s just my opinion based on the Word from the KJV Bible.(quotes below) The mark or seal is also mentioned in the Old Testament which really does drive home that this is something that existed in ancient times and also exists in future prophetic times as well and is not something technological in nature.

I would go further to say that many False Doctrines by False Preachers are being preached today and are leading people away from the True Christian faith in preparation for this NEW FALSE CHRISTIANITY which will be the One World Religion that is very strongly indicated in the Book of Revelation. I think it will be NEW AGE in nature blended with some sort of Christianity. Those who are following False Preachers who think they are part of Christianity will have a different "Mark" as in the "Mark of the Beast" and they will not be aware of it. That will be "The Great Deception". True Christians who will have the "Mark of God" or "Seal of God" as in the Holy Spirit, WILL be aware of this in the end days, so will everybody else............. so will the Lord!

Rosh Hashana 2016 and Hurricane Hermine?

Any connection between Rosh Hashana 2016 and Hurricane Hermine?

Today is 2 September 2016 and we are in the final month leading to the Jewish Festival of Rosh Hashana also known as the Feast of Trumpets. We have just entered into what I and many others feel and think, is a significant time period which COULD give rise to corresponding significant events within the Sept/Oct 2016 time line. This is a supporting article of the "drive home the nail" variety and connected with the previous articles "Is there a Financial Crisis coming led by the US" and also ties in closely with the article on the Venezuela Crisis but could tie in with many others.

This is not a Prophetic or Date Setting article . I am not a Prophet, not even a Watchman but just somebody that looks for warning signs that others may miss. As has been said many times before, no one knows the day or hour of what is coming our way..........but it is coming! This is just an outpouring of things that I´m concerned about, that is generating a genuine feeling of uneasiness and dread, some have been written about before. BUT they are being born out by current events.



I feel very strongly (hence this website) that something is on it's way (I´m not alone in this view) and the general consensus amongst the Christian Community is that it is getting close, very very close. What we are seeing are the warning signs and milder versions of what the Great Tribulation as mentioned in the Book of Revelation will bring.

There has been a spike in the last few months of people experiencing visions and horrific dreams and just getting that general feeling of increasing unease that time is running out and it´s on our very doorstep. This period that takes in the months of September and October is indeed one of those times, it seems to be a time when disasters seem to happen.

Matthew 24:33
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

It is made more relevant because if you follow Jewish Shemitah Cycles, we are in a Super Shemitah year known as a Jubilee Year which has been characterised by extreme flooding and in parts of the world not exactly renowned for those sort of natural disasters. God doesn´t follow our calendar as in the Gregorian but instead follows the Jewish and Shemitah cycles as demonstrated throughout history. Hence the importance and relevance.



This website is fundamentally Christian in nature but does take on board from time to time significant time periods from the Jewish faith calendar and has respect for that faith. After all the God they worship, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the same one us Christians worship as well. I´m not Jewish by the way.

Hurricane Hermine hitting Florida , the first Hurricane to make landfall in 11 years just could mark the beginning of a number of events that could unfold during September and October, the last month or so of this Jubilee Year.......then again maybe not. Hurricane Hermine is a scraper Cat 1 Hurricane ( at the time of writing) , the lowest on a scale of 1 to 5, never the less it is a Hurricane and the fact that it is making landfall on 2 September 2016 is a significant event in itself.



The Jewish Festival of Rosh Hashana more commonly known as the Feast of Trumpets in this Jubilee Year will be upon us in a month exactly between 2 and 4 October. But what is Rosh Hashana, and why is it so important?

Rosh Hashana is the Jewish festival that is the Jewish New Year and is a two-day celebration, which begins on the first day of Tishrei. Tishrei is the first month of the Jewish civil year, but the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year. Rosh Hashana the traditional anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman according to the Hebrew Bible, and their first actions toward the believed realization of humanity's role in God's world. Therefore it´s a very important day in the Jewish Calendar. Rosh Hashanah customs include sounding the shofar (a hollowed-out ram's horn), as prescribed in the Torah hence the name Feast of Trumpets.

Just like last year when there were a multitude of predictions around the same time period, there are new ones doing the rounds including The Rapture will be either this month or on the days of Rosh Hashana in October, a global financial market and economic collapse and the compulsory introduction of the RFID chip (mark of the beast), massive Tsunami to hit the US East Coast, massive earthquake again many quoting the US, some bizarre happenings in the current US Elections, the start of World War III, the recapture of Jerusalem ........and many others.

I personally watch all sorts of videos, many strange, bizarre and wonderful you wouldn´t believe and some just plain ridiculous, but all are taken seriously because you just never know. Only the ones with any sort of credibility ever see the light of day here on this website or any other associated websites. Tend to avoid the date setters and those that are dabbling in the occult to arrive at their prophetic predictions and then lining it up with the word but even then these predictions cannot be ruled out.

My top favourite is still the global financial collapse which everybody can see coming and for some reason I keep circling repeatedly. This would cause world chaos along the lines of the Venezuela Crisis and the introduction of Martial Law to restore order. This would be the ideal time for a Global Currency Reset and the introduction of the perfect solution to start from scratch with a Cashless Society requiring the compulsory implantation of an RFID chip or similar (the mark). It will be hailed as the greatest thing since the invention of the mobile but it will be the "Great Deception". Those who do not take the mark (as in us Christians) will be marginalised, living in the wilderness and unable to take part in this New World Order modern day society that is being set up as we speak along 2030 Agenda guidelines. Of course those who have taken the mark don´t know what they have signed up for.

My favourite video that depicts this coming inevitable global  financial collapse featuring respected financial experts is "Overdose: The Next Financial Crisis". Released on You Tube way back in 2012. It´s had millions of views but is just as relevant now as it was back then. This article has been written when the US Stock Market indices are at all time highs? Back in Sept 2001 and Sept 2008, these were both big economic disaster years, following the Jewish Shemitah cycle years, 2015 should have been the collapse Part 3 but it was averted.



This period we are entering into from today marked by Hurricane Hermine and forward to Rosh Hashana on October 2nd and 4th I feel very strongly could contain some highly significant and prophetic events. In this closing month of this Super Shemitah Year of Jubilee this September and October, are we looking at the mother of all years where the house of cards comes tumbling down, but this time on a global scale...............this .remains to be seen?

Chapter 13 Book of Revelation KJV

Chapter 13 Book of Revelation KJV. The beast rises out of the sea and power was given to him to reign 42 months. The arrival of the False Prophet and the Mark of the Beast

1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9. If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11. 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.
12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16. And he causeth 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 hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
