Can you explain why we should be concerned about this? I'm curious to hear your take on it.
Good grief man. Demand deposits are SUPPOSED to be superlatively "liquid". And should be instantaneously available.
But they would be frozen solid during a bank holiday. Unobtainium.

Furthermore, all this will do is create greater panic and accelerate capital flight, destabilizing the banking system.

Do you understand "fractional reserve" banking? In summary, it is a joke, and the joke is on you.

This thread is a request to keep up with the transition from the US dollar to a one world currency (CBDC) which will then become the mark of the beast. This will be done in stages, but this link that I shared gives a variety of sources saying that a major step towards this will take place during the month of April and will be completed before the end of April 2023.

We are not ignorant of Satan's devices. So by "concerned" if you mean making sure we aren't ignorant this is why.

His point is that as believers in Christ with our treasure in heaven why would we need to "be concerned" about the collapse of the US dollar, US economy, and western civilization as we know it.

Oh.....so @ResidentAlien is implying that being a deer in the headlights of an oncoming semi-truck is the preferential emotional and mental state?

Well thank God that was not the state of mind of the Christians of 70AD who HEEDED THE WARNINGS of our Lord and took the necessary precautionary measures!

So asking a question of a credible source doesn't constitute preparation?

Are you talking about ResidentAlien?

"And when these prophecies don't come to pass they'll be swept under the rug and forgotten. Then on to the next false prophecies." ResidentAlien Post #2451 in Plan to Destroy America

This is not someone who is listening to the warnings from the prophets and taking them seriously.

In the link I shared they point out how the first prophecies concerning this were 13 years ago saying that when they sold oil in Yuan you would see the collapse of the US dollar. No doubt he would lump that prophecy with the others that he thinks are swept under the rug (the context of that post was prophecies I have shared on my blog over the last two years).

Right. But the purpose for posting isn't for people who agree; it's to inform the uninformed and perhaps persuade some that oppose. Doing so belligerently causes the focus to come off the message and on to the messenger often nullifying the message altogether.

I don't think anyone was belligerent, perhaps Cv5 was exasperated.

Perhaps belligerent is a little strong but it certainly wasn't peaceable and gentle.
The Charlie Brown good grief approach probably doesn't help.

So what should we do, besides be aware? What can I do to prevent the catastrophe you seem to think is coming? Am I supposed to stockpile weapons and hide in my basement? How does knowing all this improve my relationship with the Lord? We know the mark of the beast will get here eventually; God told us it would.

I'm becoming fully convinced you're a false brother and false prophet. You have nothing to offer other than to stir up fear. You're more concerned with Satan than you are with the Lord.

Perhaps you could prepare things for lost people. Your preparation and kindness could be the very thing God uses to bring a sinner to repentance.

Indeed we shall do these things. But when it is time to FLEE, you had better FLEE.

Mat 2:13
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
Mat 10:23
But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

This is 70AD....

Luk 21:20
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Luk 21:21
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.


This is post-rapture.....

Mat 24:15
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mat 24:16
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Mat 24:17
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

So what should we do, besides be aware?
There are three things the Lord charges us to do.

1. We are supposed to be good servants in the house of God (the church) watching for His return and giving people their food in the proper season. Prophecies represent 25% of the Bible and "proper season" indicates an awareness of the season we are in and the word that people need.

2. We are supposed to be waiting for the bridegroom with our lamps lit and our vessels filled with oil. This indicates that on a daily basis we are speaking the word and also filled with the word of God.

3. We are supposed to be about the Father's business when the Lord returns. He says "blessed is that servant who when His master returns finds him so doing". I believe that means preaching the gospel, ministering the word, and waking up those who are still sleeping.

What can I do to prevent the catastrophe you seem to think is coming?
On a macro scale, Nothing. On an individual scale you can do everything in your power to make sure those around you are saved, and that refers to complete salvation (the three points I mentioned above). You should also realize that many will not be ready prior to the Antichrist so they need to learn about him and especially to not take the mark of the beast and to prepare their mind to be a martyr.

Am I supposed to stockpile weapons and hide in my basement?
I don't tell people what they are supposed to do, Jesus is Lord. You are supposed to listen to Jesus and follow Him. I have never recommended either of those actions. I have said that if I were left behind I would become more bold to preach the gospel, not less. I would not be running and hiding hoping to survive an extra year, I think that is foolish. That is the attitude that got you left behind, burying your talent in the backyard.

How does knowing all this improve my relationship with the Lord?
In my experience preaching the gospel, I talk to about 400 people a month and I find that sharing current events that are taking place that were prophesied in the Bible thousands of years ago strengthens people's faith if it is weak and for those who are unsaved it does help them realize that now is the acceptable day of salvation, now is the time to receive the Lord.

We know the mark of the beast will get here eventually; God told us it would.
I think by "we" you mean you and I. This is a public forum that anyone can read. I am close to 200,000 people who have visited my blog. I do not presume that they all know this. Yes God told us this because we do need to know it and that is why I share it, this is God's word.

I'm becoming fully convinced you're a false brother and false prophet. You have nothing to offer other than to stir up fear. You're more concerned with Satan than you are with the Lord.
Stir up fear? You just said there is no reason to be afraid since we were told this was going to happen in the Bible?

I speak these things because they confirm the word of God and put mockers and scoffers to shame.

I am not concerned with what you think. I am not concerned with pleasing man. My only concern is with pleasing the Lord Jesus. Besides the evidence about what I am most concerned with is in my blog, there are 7,882 posts, I think those posts completely disprove your theory beyond any reasonable doubt.

The reference is to a small, defenseless child. When Jesus was grown there was no "fleeing".

If you are new in the faith, then flee and let your faith grow in grace. But if you are one who has put on the full armor of God, then you don't need to flee.

I think there's more there than that. But I would agree we don't need to flee or fear.
