Revelation 13:11-18 Series

15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.

There are a couple of things happening out in the world right now that are worrying many people and it is ai or artificial intelligence. This can take form in a few different ways one of which are computer generated images that look exactly like a person and speaks exactly like that person. It is so real you can't tell the difference between real and not real.

Another is robots in which, both of these things are to imitate the beast in a way that if someone would not worship it this image could even kill people for not worshiping it.

16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

People have said many things about these two verses and what they think it is, but as time has changed so has the ideas of what that could be. Some have said a physical mark such as the number 666, others have said a computer chip of sorts.

With the digital currency trend happening, I think no matter what that digital currency could be a part of it.

The dollar is slowly but surely being devalued through inflation over the last three years and I think this is intentional in order to make the transition to digital currency easier.

There are some here that can remember when our dollar was backed by gold and silver, and the government removed that backing long ago. I say what happened to all of our gold and silver, it is ours where is it? Is it still there or has it been depleted? We will never know.

18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
