Mark of the Beast
The current head of the Bank of England has recently called for the creation of a crypto-currency to replace the US dollar as the world’s main reserve currency.

This is very relevant to the prophecies of Revelation. Revelations tells us that the false Elijah, the second Beast, will require all those under the dominion of the Anti-Christ (the first Beast) to take the mark of the Beast, and no one will be able to buy or sell without this mark.
Revelation 13: 13-16 says,
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: 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. 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.
The proposal submitted by Carney would allow the creation of a global digital currency, that could be used to replace the nation-based currency system. This would help facilitate the creation of a world government from which the Beast will gain secular domination. It would allow the Anti-Christ to implement the mark of the Beast, as prophesized in Revelation.
The Destruction of the Nation-State
We have argued that the agents of the Beast are working to ultimately destroy the nation-state, as they work towards the creation of a world government. One aspect of this process is the promotion of “open borders”, where illegal immigration is allowed to effectively renders borders meaningless. A nation-state is physically defined by its national borders, and should a government lose control of its borders, it is only a matter of time before that nation is destroyed. The German government has literally welcomed all illegal migrants to come to their country, and the Germany citizens are being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of its unrestricted immigration.

A quarter of the entire population is now from an immigrant background, and over 40% of children are similarly from an immigrant family. We have argued that open borders will result in such a surge in uncontrolled immigration that the national identification of its population will be severely diminished, which will help facilitate its merger into a mega-state comprised of other politically merged nation-states. This same process is also occurring in America, as the agents of the Beast work 24/7 to destroy the government’s control of its national borders. Revelation tells us that after the Beast rises to power of a mega-state comprised of 10 politically merged nation-states, he will expand his political domination on a global scale. His agents are working hard, preparing the way for his raise.
Opening of the Fifth Seal
A recent article has sought to remind the world of the mass persecution of Christians in the Middle East.

In all the conflict zones in the Middle East and Africa, Christians have been persecuted, slaughtered, and driven from their homes. In Revelation 6: 9-11, it says:
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
This site has argued that the Fifth Seal has been opened. The harsh persecution of Christians has been mainly felt in parts of Africa and the Middle East, but as we further progress into the End of Days, Christians in America and Europe will also begin to suffer. The number of self-professed Christians are decreasing in the West, and as they start to become a shrinking minority of the population, the agents of the Beast will shift their suppression/oppression of Christians to outright persecution. In the end, Believers will be faced with a stark choice of taking the mark of the Beast and forsaking their faith, or keeping their faith and being put to death.
