Introduction

The Digital Blackout

The world is now facing a tightening of the “digital dragnet” set to restrict digital freedoms through government censorship in preparation for an incoming total digital blackout.

This article outlines a set of technological control mechanisms being deployed now to clamp down on the digital landscape, and force the world’s population into a multifaceted electronic control system under the coming Antichrist’s one world government, religion and economy, known biblically as the “Beast System.”

A complete digital blackout will precede the implementation of this totalitarian system, where the world’s population will be coerced into a framework for technological control through the use of a “digital dragnet.” The sole purpose of this digital dragnet is to create the conditions needed to enforce the worldwide rule of the coming Antichrist through the Mark of the Beast as prophesied in Revelation 13:16–18 (KJV).

The Digital Dragnet

Imposition of Control

The “digital dragnet” is the term that best describes a specific group of digital and electronic mechanisms applied by traditional governments, major tech companies, intergovernmental organisations (IGOs), and private financial entities to impose totalitarian control over the world’s population.

These mechanisms encompass three key areas of the digital sphere: Information Control, Digital Identification, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). When used in conjunction, these mechanisms act as a dragnet to capture and subdue individuals and the collective populace under digital enslavement to the world’s governments, in anticipation of the rising one-world government, religious and economic system.

The end goal is the establishment of the Beast System, ushered in through the efforts of the Vatican and the United Nations (UN) with their numerous tentacles. Below we explore the aforementioned areas of focus constituting the digital dragnet with key mechanisms designed to create forced compliance through a digital blackout, coercing the world’s population into accepting the biblical Mark of the Beast.

Information Control

A Combination of Actions

The world’s governments, led by the Vatican-controlled United Nations, have been developing key digital mechanisms to take full control of all online open source information that is consumed by their populations. Using a combination of coercive technological methods, they are working to manipulate the unwitting and vulnerable masses into supporting their totalitarian agendas.

The control of information is critical to the establishment of the coming totalitarian system. With unrestricted access to information through a free internet, the overarching agendas of the Vatican and UN cannot be implemented fully due to the lack of ideological cohesion at the ground level. This means open source information must be manipulated to eliminate resistance, and the only way to ensure this outcome is to gain total control of the information gateway and flow.

Platform Gatekeeping

Platform gatekeeping refers to the practice of controlling access to digital platforms by requiring personal and financial information from users in exchange for access. Up to recent times, standard access to digital platforms has been largely free and anonymous, preserving privacy according to user preferences. This free and anonymous access is set to be phased out and replaced with restricted access tied to government authority.

Gaining full access and advanced functionality within these platforms almost always requires the creation of user accounts requiring personal identification data including email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers, government ID, and financial information like credit/debit card details, personal banking information, or payment platform credentials for subscription payments.

Key examples of these techniques in action include Facebook’s requirement for government-issued ID for account recovery or to purchase standard check mark verification, Google’s age verification methods for YouTube using AI age estimation and government ID, and the UK’s Online Safety Act requiring government ID or credit card information for age checks to obstruct minors’ access to restricted content.

These methods will be adapted in the future and applied globally for any and all access to information-based digital platforms. In other words, access to digital platforms will be denied unless users pay fees or subscriptions for access and provide government-certified ID that will soon be solely digital and authenticated with user biometrics. Platform gatekeeping will be used to eliminate personal privacy and control access to online information, ostracizing those who will not participate in the broader control system.

Intermediary Service Regulation

Online intermediaries like web hosting and mere conduit services are also facing regulation changes that align their services towards authoritarian goals. Hosting services like domain registrars and hosted content platforms enable website creation, storage and access. Mere conduit services including ISPs, VPN services, and DNS providers connect users with websites through data transfer over the internet’s infrastructure.

These services are being targeted with regulations that enable government authorities to enforce the takedown of websites and content from the internet. Through the creation of content flagging mechanisms and enforcement of regulatory obligations, websites and material defined under law as illegal must be removed or disabled by the intermediary companies upon threat of prosecution and penalties.

A key example of these regulations in action is the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA). Under this EU legislation, web hosts and conduits must have mechanisms in place to identify, report, and remove illegal content including government defined misinformation and disinformation. Certified reporting entities approved as “trusted flaggers” identify and report illegal content with expedited priority for rapid review. Digital Services Coordinators (DSCs) and courts then issue orders demanding companies remove or block access “expeditiously” to avoid criminal liability.

The UK’s Online Service Act (OSA) is similar with its own system for identifying illegal content and issuing government takedown orders. Through this kind of legislation, governments can order domain registrars and hosted platforms to remove entire websites or specific content, or demand ISPs or DNS providers to block or disable access. When ordered, companies must also provide data for investigations such as visitor traffic logs, and user-identifying data including account details and profile information.

These laws and others like them implement authoritarian overreach into private information-based services and create overt censorship on demand. The potential for any type of information to be designated as illegal and then blocked or removed is the primary goal. In the past, intermediaries have been largely held from liability for user-generated website content but that is no longer the case. This is the beginning of full-scale legislative information control, and government enforced censorship.

Algorithmic Censorship

Algorithms in social media platforms, search engines, and content recommendation systems are being used as a key tool to manipulate narratives and control the visibility of information. Algorithms either boost (promote) or throttle (suppress) content based on programming preferences, signal measurements, platform interests, and government regulations. This means the visibility and distribution of content in information-sharing platforms is controlled entirely by algorithmic programming.

Most social platform algorithms are tweaked to favor content and accounts based on two key factors: user interaction and monetization. The more users interact with a piece of content, the higher it is boosted by the algorithm. The less it is interacted with, the more invisible it becomes. This produces an artificial snowball effect, determining what content is promoted and what content is fully suppressed. This works the same way with account recommendation, determining which accounts are pushed to users to follow.

Monetization boosts content and account visibility when users participate in revenue-sharing programs or pay for account status upgrades and content advertising. Algorithms give priority to monetized accounts and content, as it produces revenue for creators and platforms through advertising, brand promotion, and sales. This incentivizes creators to make content that will generate income, and encourages platforms to prioritize the visibility of these accounts and content in algorithm programming.

For search engines like Google or Bing, ranking systems impact how visible websites are in search results. Website structure, relevance, search engine optimization (SEO), and advertising partner revenue are key factors in ranking websites, ultimately determining visibility. Similar to social platforms, the visibility of any website is controlled entirely by search algorithm programming and how well that website conforms to its platform-specific biases or if it utilizes paid advertising.

Legislation such as the DSA and OSA regulate these platforms, directly influencing their interests and algorithms. Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) such as Facebook and X, and Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs) like Google are targeted in the DSA, with Category 1 Services as the equivalent in the OSA. The design and programming of algorithms must comply with this legislation to ensure illegal content, misinformation, and disinformation, as defined by government authorities, is suppressed effectively.

We see here that algorithms are made to favor certain types of content or promoted advertising over organic (non-paid) material and actively suppress certain content under government regulations. The result of this algorithmic bias is narrative manipulation and censorship of information that does not conform to platform interests or pay for visibility. This algorithmic bias is used to suppress non-conforming or counter-narrative content that opposes the overarching agenda, especially direct informational resistance.

Digital Identification

Universal Digital ID

Digital identification is essential to the establishment of the Vatican-controlled, UN implemented Beast System. Without a functioning, interoperable universal digital ID structure in place, the authoritarian groups are unable to funnel populations into the wider digital control system (tighten the dragnet).

Digital ID for the world’s population is purposed in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically goal 16.9 that states the UN’s intention to “By 2030, provide legal identity for all, including birth registration.” This goal (as with all UN SDGs) claims to be for the benefit of the poor and marginalized but in reality serves the purpose of digital control in anticipation of the Mark of the Beast.

The UN and its partners in conjunction with governmental authorities have been creating digital ID systems across the world since 2015. Primary groups leading digital ID efforts include the UN Legal Identity Agenda (UN LIA), UN Digital ID (UNID), UN WFP Building Blocks, ID2020, the Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL), and the World Bank ID4D.

Other key UN agencies that align workflows for digital ID development include the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) think-tank and key social agenda-setting and implementation group; the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) that oversees global development of UN activities; and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) with its Biometric Identity Management System (BIMS) that coordinates migration flows and refugee tagging with biometrics.

Basic digital ID infrastructure is already in use across the world as a direct result of UN-focused work based on SDG 16.9. This includes ID structures in developing countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the West in the EU and Anglosphere. The creation of national-level digital ID structures is the current focus, with the primary goal of a universal digital ID structure with full interoperability, connecting the system globally.

Master Profiling

The first part of the digital ID structure to be completed is a network of centralized or decentralized identification data systems. These systems contain master ID profiles for every digital ID holder. To implement a universal digital ID, all personal identification data must be collected, stored and managed in interoperable government systems.

The various government digital ID systems in operation today require basic profile information such as name, date of birth, contact information, passwords etc. for registration and security authentication. That information is then stored in government-managed secure data centers or advanced third-party cloud storage setups.

Basic ID systems are now transitioning to verified systems to keep pace with advancing tech. This includes shifting to authentication beyond the basic level with a focus on biometric data collection. As security protocols and digital technologies are advancing in biometric authentication, ID systems are being developed with biometrics as the unique identifiers for ID holders.

This means governments will eventually collect biometric information such as fingerprints and iris scans, and facial recognition scans to link registrants to ID systems and their master profiles. This enables the system to identify you with 100% accuracy. Not only will they have all personal information documented and registered in the system, but also unique identifiers tied to your physical body to identify you with absolute certainty.

Digital ID projects contributing to the UN’s mandate of SDG 16.9 extend far beyond the above list. More than 60 countries are actively pursuing digital ID projects, with UNHCR BIMS working in 80 countries to tag refugees through the collection of biometric data.

Approximately 98 countries have announced plans to implement digital ID since 2015, with 59% using centralized and decentralized systems, 24% with centralized systems alone, and 18% yet to pursue digital ID development. This speaks to the scale of digital ID implementations within the last ten years, exposing a clear correlation between digital ID development and UN influence.

Forced Compliance

The UN’s SDG 16.9 drives the push for digital ID, with various agencies and initiatives carrying out the design, building, and implementation of digital infrastructure ID applications. This is all leading to an interoperable system that will ultimately be used to manipulate the behavior of populations through forced compliance.

Top-down governmental coercion is the primary goal of SDG 16.9. The world experienced this kind of top-down coercion during the COVID-19 pandemic. The UN World Health Organization (WHO) influenced governments to initiate lockdowns and compulsory vaccination of their populations, and to deny people access to employment, businesses, social venues, and government services through vaccine passports.

Forced compliance was systematized through lockdowns, vaccination and subsequent vaccine passports as an identification-based end goal. The populace was forced to comply with government commands at the threat of ostracization or prosecution. We can predict with near certainty that these tactics will be used again through the completed digital ID system combined with developing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

CBDC Implementation

Cashless Societies

For the Vatican-controlled United Nations to fully subjugate governments and the collective populace, it must implement cashless societies and the adoption of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Because fiat currency systems enable the retention of private transactions through the circulation of cash, digital currencies must be adopted for the Beast System to gain absolute control of the populations at the personal level.

Cashless society implementation plans are in full swing in several countries leading to CBDC adoption in the long term. In the UK alone in 2024, over 400 local bank branches closed, with continued closures projected through 2025. Over 7,000 ATMs have vanished in the last three years, as banks eliminate them to favor contactless payments and apps.

Sweden, nearly cashless, sees merchants rejecting cash, with low ATM density. Norway (3% cash transactions) and other Nordics (Denmark, Finland) are reducing ATMs, favoring contactless. Australia closed 230 bank branches in 2024, while South Korea, the Philippines, and India are following similar trends including the push for digital wallets.

China leads with mobile payments dominating over 80% of transactions. The Netherlands, with 91% digital payment adoption, Singapore, with 98% cashless transactions, and New Zealand, with 2% cash use, are highly advanced. Canada, with 82% mobile payments, Hong Kong, with 4% cash transactions, Switzerland, with 2% cash use, and the US, with a 25% shift from cash, are rapidly adopting digital wallets and contactless payments. These and future changes are leading to the primary goal of universal CBDC adoption for all nations.

CBDC Technologies

Central Bank Digital Currencies (digital money tokens) are divided into two types: retail and wholesale. Retail CBDCs are designed for public use in everyday transactions like payments for goods or services. Wholesale CBDCs are for interbank and large-scale financial transactions like international settlements and cross-border payments.

CBDCs enable comprehensive transaction auditing by leveraging a suite of modern financial technologies. Unlike cash-based systems, where transactions remain largely private, these systems issue digital currencies and record every transaction, ensuring an immutable audit trail. These systems ensure all transactions are time-stamped, verifiable, and linked to digital ID, eliminating true privacy.

Permissioned Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Blockchain record transactions immutably across a network of authorized computers (nodes) linked to central banks. This allows them to have full control over issued currencies, record all transactions made, and tie them to individuals via digital wallets connected to digital ID.

Hybrid centralized/decentralized architectures integrate central bank oversight with distributed transaction processing, enabling central banks to fully control permissioned CBDC ledgers. In other words, the central banks control the currency system, and smaller banks handle everyday transactions. Smart Contracts automate policy-driven transactions, such as the delivery of welfare funds and enforcement of digital tax collection.

Advanced security protocols and cryptography secure transactions with encryption and zero-knowledge proofs. Interoperability Features integrate CBDCs with existing systems, enabling cross-border settlements, all under central bank standards. With these CBDC technologies, central banks create a fully controlled and uncircumventable financial system where they can enforce transaction execution, security, and platform compliance.

Key Development Entities

Several independent financial entities working together with the UN are responsible for the advancement of CBDC development in the world today. These entities are the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the World Economic Forum (WEF).

The Bank for International Settlements is a Swiss-based conglomerate of 63 central banks representing countries that account for about 95% of global GDP. Its primary input in CBDC development is advancing technical frameworks, testing multi-CBDC platforms, and setting global standards for interoperability and efficiency.

The International Monetary Fund is a global financial institution based in Washington, D.C., with 190 member countries and supports CBDC development by providing policy guidance, capacity building, and economic analysis. Its CBDC Virtual Handbook serves as a detailed roadmap for policymakers and outlines design, privacy, and interoperability.

The World Bank is an international banking institution headquartered in Washington, D.C., that provides social development loans to mid- and low-income countries through the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and International Development Association (IDA). Its CBDC input includes policy guidance, technical assistance, and capacity building for inclusion, access, and adoption.

The World Economic Forum is a multistakeholder non-governmental organization (NGO) and think tank focusing on shaping global policy agendas for sustainable development. Through its Digital Currency Governance Consortium (DCGC), CBDC Policy-Maker Toolkit, and detailed research reports, the WEF plays a strong role in shaping and driving the CBDC agenda in close collaboration with central banks and stakeholders including BlackRock and Vanguard asset management groups.

These groups all collaborate with each other and key UN agencies such as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA). These coordinated organizational efforts all bottleneck into the UN SDGs 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 17, culminating in a CBDC financial system interwoven with digital ID implementation.

Current CBDC Systems

Below is a list of key CBDC systems in development today:

China: e-CNY
The e-CNY (digital yuan) is in an advanced pilot phase, widely integrated into public transport, e-commerce, and payroll systems, making it the world’s largest CBDC pilot in 2025.

India: e-Rupee
The e-Rupee, the second-largest CBDC pilot, increased circulation by 334% to ₹10.16 billion by March 2025, with expanded features like offline transactions and broader bank participation.

United States: Pending
In January 2025, President Trump’s Executive Order 14157 halted all retail CBDC development, stopping ongoing initiatives and prohibiting further actions.

Israel: Digital Shekel
Israel is developing the Digital Shekel, with a draft released in March 2025 outlining a multipurpose design and pilot planning underway.

Hong Kong: e-HKD
The e-HKD pilot, part of Project Aurum 2.0 in 2025, focuses on retail privacy and participates in mBridge for cross-border payments.

Saudi Arabia: Riyal CBDC
Saudi Arabia is researching and piloting a Riyal CBDC in 2025, emphasizing wholesale applications through Project Aber and mBridge.

United Arab Emirates: Dirham CBDC
The UAE is developing a Dirham CBDC, exploring frameworks in 2025 for cross-border efficiency via Project Aber and mBridge.

Kazakhstan: Digital Tenge
The Digital Tenge pilot, launched in 2023, continues through 2025 with real-user testing, aiming for a full launch by year-end.

In 2025, 137 countries and currency unions representing approximately 98% of global GDP are exploring CBDC implementation. Of those 137 countries and currency unions, 72 are in advanced phases of CBDC development, pilot, or launch.

Beyond leaders like China and India, G20 nations such as South Africa, Indonesia, Turkey, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, France (national alongside EU), Germany, Italy, and Argentina are piloting or researching, focusing on financial inclusion and cross-border transaction efficiency.

Emerging markets like Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Nepal are testing retail and wholesale models via the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) projects like mBridge and Dunbar. Africa sees Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa advancing pilots for unbanked access, while Mexico and Argentina explore wholesale systems.

Caribbean expansions and others like Iran, Pakistan, and Egypt emphasize sanctions evasion and remittances, with motivations of reducing cash reliance and crypto competition. We can see here that world CBDC development and application is in effect and will ultimately lead to worldwide economic coercion via digital enslavement.

Projections and Trajectory

Digital Blackout Incoming

Using the digital information control tactics of platform gatekeeping, intermediary service regulation, and algorithmic censorship described earlier, the Vatican-controlled UN Beast System with its tentacles is working to eliminate all informational resistance and opposition to their totalitarian sustainable development agenda.

When online censorship legislation and information restriction mechanisms reach full implementation around the world, a digital blackout will occur where counter-narrative and informational resistance voices will be ostracized from the online space through overt censorship and criminal prosecution.

Critical analysis and opposing viewpoints will be suppressed, websites exposing the truth will be taken down, and online access will be reserved only for those who comply with top-down systemic requirements, including surrendering personal privacy and financial independence through digital ID and CBDC adoption.

This total digital blackout may appear gradually through the existing mission creep and layered advancement of the system, or by way of a universal catalytic event or series of events that expedites forced compliance in an aggressive sweep. Triggering scenarios could include another global pandemic, a major cyberattack, economic collapse, societal disintegration, or the escalation of localized military conflicts into World War III.

Through whatever scenario the digital blackout arrives, the end result will be the universal implementation of digital ID and CBDCs for the purposes of funneling the world’s population into the Beast System’s technological control infrastructure.

Economic Coercion

Successful digital ID and CBDC introduction will lead to the Vatican-controlled UN’s primary goal of financial subjugation through economic coercion. Through digital ID application, the Beast System will be able to enforce its totalitarian plan at the personal level by coercing groups and individuals to comply with top-down systemic control at the threat of financial ostracization and economic penalties.

All conventional ID functions will be amalgamated into digital ID frameworks, and everyday economic functions will be absorbed into retail CBDC systems. Wholesale CBDC structures will create a single international financial system, eliminating economic sovereignty of nations. Interoperability systems will then be perfected, connecting wholesale and retail systems at the ground level.

The completed system will be able to perform a range of top-down actions that enable financial subjugation. It will decide who can possess CBDCs and determine how much they can possess. It will be able to impose daily spending limits, and determine how and when CBDCs can be spent. It will be able to deposit or extract funds autonomously, and deny access to funds as punishment for non-compliant actions.

These and other actions will be used to coerce the public into behavioral submission to the Beast System. Economic coercion walks in lockstep with the digital blackout, while financial manipulation tactics linked to the UN’s SDGs are being deployed now under poverty reduction and climate change schemes. Forced compliance through digital ID now approaches, heading to the imposition of irreversible economic control.

The Mark of the Beast

The complex efforts described above all lead to a total digital blackout that triggers the universal application of digital ID and CBDC systems. These events lead to the formation and establishment of the one-world economic system that will ultimately introduce the biblical Mark of the Beast described in Revelation 13:16–18 (KJV)

The Book of Revelation uncovers the arrival of a universal world empire under the control of two individuals named the Antichrist and the False Prophet. They will establish a one-world government, religion, and economic system that will dominate all nations for 42 months during the last half of the soon-to-come 7-year Great Tribulation.

Digital ID and CBDC rollouts indicate the imminent formation of the one-world economy. The one-world government is now being established through the aggressive efforts of the United Nations in the SDGs and Agenda 2030, while the Roman Catholic Papacy has gained tremendous ground in spearheading the one-world religion by merging all Christian denominations and world religions in its ecumenical and interreligious movements.

The Antichrist and False Prophet are set to appear during the first half of the Great Tribulation to unite the world’s nations in worship of a universal idol called “the image of the beast.” The worship of this idol will be forced at the threat of execution, as “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” (Revelation 13:15 KJV).

The Mark of the Beast is the economic subjugation apparatus that will be implanted in the right hand or forehead of individuals to enforce the universal rule and worship of the Antichrist, as “no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark” (Revelation 13:17 KJV). In light of Bible prophecy and ensuing world events, we conclude that the digital ID and CBDC system is almost certainly the economic infrastructure for the Mark of the Beast.

Conclusion

A Call to the Bride

In response to these prophetic realities, OFG Ministries encourages all Christians to complete a specific set of spiritual actions in preparation for the incoming events.

Firstly, all born-again believers must receive the Baptism with the Holy Spirit to be filled with God’s supernatural power for effective Christian life and service in the last days. Only through Spirit Baptism are Christians enabled to build the robust spiritual preparedness required to withstand the coming events and be faithful witnesses to Jesus Christ.

Secondly, believers must be supernaturally equipped to preach the Gospel until Jesus returns. The Everlasting Gospel is the power of God to salvation, and for Christians to resist the Beast System effectively, they must walk in the power of God contained in the Gospel, offering the hope of salvation in Christ to a disintegrating end-times world.

Lastly, believers need to dive deeper than ever before into the Word of God to be sanctified to the Lord prophetically and supernaturally. To achieve this, OFG Ministries recommends that Christians use the Authorized King James Version of the Bible, as modern versions contain significant corruptions stemming from untrustworthy manuscripts that depart from historically rooted apostolic tradition.

This set of actions leads to the possession of a robust faith empowered by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. It is key that believers develop a strong relationship with God before any other preparations are made. These actions equip us to watch and pray effectively while building a powerful faith that will be ready to execute all plans, complete all tasks, and withstand all pressured events scheduled ahead of us.

A Call to the Lost

For those who have not yet believed the Gospel, our heart’s desire is that they repent and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. The Lord Jesus Christ came, died, and rose again from the grave that sinners may be reconciled to God and receive eternal life.

The Bible says in the Book of Romans:

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Romans 3:23–24 (KJV)

Salvation is the free gift of God’s grace, and is received solely through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Jesus took the punishment for our sins upon Himself and has provided forgiveness and pardon from sin by way of His sacrifice upon the cross. Because of His sacrifice we can be forgiven and pardoned from the judgment of God for our sin which is eternal torment and everlasting destruction in hellfire.

The Bible says in the Book of Revelation:

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, 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:

Revelation 14:9–10 (KJV)

The Bible reveals that all who take the Mark of the Beast will suffer the vengeance of God in hell for this grave sin, as it identifies them as worshipers of the Antichrist and the devil. The only way to escape the Mark of the Beast is to repent and believe the Gospel before its arrival. It is critical that all people believe on the name of Jesus Christ and be saved.

A Call to Action

A total digital blackout approaches in preparation for the Beast System’s one-world economy culminating in the Mark of the Beast. The world is in highly dangerous times and is set to experience a rapid series of upending changes that require serious vigilance, preparation, and action. The time is now to deliberate and consider the appropriate course of action in light of the prophetic events being fulfilled daily.

For the Spirit-filled Christian, our victory is on the horizon. The commencement of these events leads to the conclusion that our redemption draws near. Be strong in the Lord, preach the Everlasting Gospel, and proclaim the victory in Jesus Christ as we witness the convergence of Bible prophecy in these last days.

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

Revelation 15:2 (KJV)
