Always with the mega church pastors, I do not have a mega church pastor..... there is always some underlying, je ne sais quoi, "thing" with you especially, special, super duper, self -appointed prophets.
I can agree the monetary system is messy .... and I am sure that I could live very happily without the World Bank, the IMF, the Federal Reserve and other problematic institutions, however I am pretty sure that present day "fiat" money is not the mark of the beast, solely because of it being "fiat" money.
It is not that its simply "fiat", it's that its
devalued. Paper money was originally certificates that represented gold, such as 4 British pounds, 21 Colombian pesos, and 21 American dollars, which was all weight in gold, which was represented by those certificates and those certificates redeemed back gold. And these particular measures of 4 British pounds, 21 Colombian pesos, and 21 American dollars were the equivalent of around 1 ozt of gold around the 1900s. But then, the banks began devaluing the certificates deliberately, to steal the gold that the people had deposited in their banks in exchange for these certificates, and then, with time, the backing of gold was removing from the certificates, which then became "paper money" and "fiat currency", and they continued printing and printing and devaluing and devaluing, to steal more, to cause the savings and incomes of the inhabitants of the world to lag behind the devaluation of the paper money and fiat currency, to then cause prices to go up, to then cause debt, to then cause interest on debt. It is a ponzi scheme, through something that has no intrinsic value, paper. Which is why currently 1,155 British pounds, 1,500 American dollars, and 164,000 Colombian pesos is now the cost of the same 1 ozt of gold, it's not because gold has gone up in value, its because paper money and fiat currency has been devalued to epic proportions. And this is why in Egypt what they earn in one day in minimum wage in their fiat currency is sufficient enough to buy food for 1 day in the US. They are utterly impoverished through this form of money, which fulfills another prophecy regarding, "a quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius". This is why it is evil, and an abomination to God, and why those who use it are as worthy to be punished as those who issue it, because this form of money also exists only by the mutual consent of the people who agree to use it daily. If everyone exchanged it for things they needed and gold and silver and got rid of it completely, it would no longer exist, and what we would have left are the things we need, and gold and silver. We would take back what is ours and remove this financial system from our backs. What keeps it going is the mutual consent of everyone. True money is gold and silver, as it has been for thousands of years, because its value is based on weight, and the same 1 ozt today is the same 1 ozt tomorrow, which is why it cannot be devalued. It is good money and acceptable to God in accordance to his Torah, which is why the Torah calls for righteous weights to use gold and silver accurately as money. But the money of today is an unrighteous quantity, and through it a great evil is done in the world, and that is why it is the fulfillment of the mark of the beast. Understand for the sake of your own and do not harden your heart to believing this truth.
