“Indeed, what have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? ” Joel 3:4a.
A translation of that verse could be, “How are you related to Me, O global economy and all the trade routes of the world?” Tyre, Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia were the center of the world’s economic power in the Bible. They symbolize the global economic power of today’s global government.
The global economy today has no connection to God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit. It serves the world’s system rather than the spiritual needs of human beings of the world. Many people in the world suffer a broken heart, poverty, grief, injustice, and lack of awareness of Christ’s Gospel. The global government of the beast caters to the United Nations and its global culture, which contradicts the words of Jesus who said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed…” Luke 4:18
The suffering soul of Jesus Christ mourns for the suffering souls of humankind who choose the prosperity of this world over living for God, “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.” Matthew 16:26-27
“Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head…” Joel 3:4b.
A way to retaliate against God is to disregard Jesus Christ and to undermine His Gospel. The beast’s global government is exploiting the global economy to defy God and Jesus Christ by introducing the digital currency.
One way to understand the goal of the digital currency is to relate it to this verse, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil…” 1 Timothy 6:10a. The global government believes that by abolishing cash, they can eradicate all forms of evil, crime, and lawlessness in the world. They claim that the global digital currency will reduce sin and help the world achieve an earthly paradise. They are defying God by undermining the Gospel and rejecting Jesus Christ, who is the only one who can forgive sin. The digital currency cannot save anyone or create heaven on earth. Salvation is found in Jesus Christ and Heaven is a real place in the new heaven and earth.
The text continues as follows in 1 Timothy 6:10,”…for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” A global digital currency that is required to “earn a living” leads people away from faith and inflicts them with many sorrows. God will repay them with the same punishment they deserve.
People who prosper by earning digital currency are those who welcome the entity giving them what to feel, think, say, and do. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. Obviously, we who live for Jesus Christ do not want any type of money if our spirit and soul is required in exchange. People are conformed to the global anti-Christian digital culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
The pursuit of digital currency leads people to abandon their former belief in God through Jesus Christ. This is a new form of greed that mirrors the old one driven by cash. The world will suffer greatly from this global culture, and we can already witness its effects. One of the major sources of suffering is global warming and is the Fourth Plague as mentioned in Revelation 16:8-9. As the United Nations grows stronger as the one world government, the effects of global warming become more severe.
Before the Day of the Lord, when God will punish the digital global economy and its culture, His wrath will be evident in other ways. The global culture lives by the entity giving them what to feel and think which has replaced the human conscience and causes traits of psychopathy to flourish. Many people suffer greatly. They have become self-centered in feeling empowered to exalt their will above God’s authority as their Creator. They do not feel any regret, guilt, or shame for their sins, and they reject Jesus Christ for forgiveness. They mock, oppress, and abuse the Holy Spirit. The world fills with lawlessness, anti-social behavior, sorrows, and indifference to human suffering.
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
