- 0:01Speaker 1: The Week in Bible Prophecy a Prophecy Watchers podcast.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Elon Musk just decided that he's you know, he's connected
- 0:10Speaker 2: with PayPal right originally, and he wants to create within
- 0:13Speaker 2: Twitter a PayPal type purchasing system. So here you have
- 0:19Speaker 2: the technology that he understands, as well as the base
- 0:22Speaker 2: of creating these digital exchanges, which I find fascinating. Where again,
- 0:27Speaker 2: you go to China today, most of the places that they're
- 0:30Speaker 2: already cash lists and they already have the exchange, the
- 0:33Speaker 2: Ali Baba app and the Alipay and these other companies
- 0:36Speaker 2: they're already there. So here you have a guy like
- 0:38Speaker 2: Elon Musk who has the ability, the creative genius and
- 0:41Speaker 2: the willingness to put himself out there for increase. It's
- 0:44Speaker 2: going to bring it into really the West.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Yeah, it's well, I think one of the models that
- 0:49Speaker 1: we can look at, and this is just something I've
- 0:51Speaker 1: learned about this week as it's been announced, is the
- 0:54Speaker 1: Digital for Freedom initiative that's going to be going on
- 0:56Speaker 1: in the Ukraine. Already, Zelenski is anticipating his victory thanks
- 1:00Speaker 1: to the West support over Russia, and then he's invited
- 1:03Speaker 1: all these major companies like Black Rock and Golden Sacks
- 1:07Speaker 1: and tech companies to come and rebuild country. There's a
- 1:10Speaker 1: commercial you can see on YouTube that talks about the
- 1:12Speaker 1: future of Ukraine being a representative to the world after
- 1:15Speaker 1: they're done rebuilding it. It's because they're going to rebuild
- 1:18Speaker 1: it without cash. It's going to use central bank digital currencies.
- 1:21Speaker 1: They're going to initiate the China's social credit system and
- 1:25Speaker 1: many other things that make life easy. And all that
- 1:28Speaker 1: sounds wonderful in the writings. And when we see Ukraine
- 1:31Speaker 1: built back better, so much better, then the whole world
- 1:34Speaker 1: should look at that and model it and do the same.
- 1:37Speaker 1: And it's the whole world Economic Forum, one world government.
- 1:40Speaker 1: We know that the Bible and Ephesians tells us that
- 1:42Speaker 1: principalities and powers, Satanic powers are behind these things. And
- 1:46Speaker 1: so what's the end time goal? It always goes back
- 1:49Speaker 1: to what Isaiah showed us that Satan wants the world
- 1:52Speaker 1: to worship. He wants those created in God's image to
- 1:55Speaker 1: worship him. He's been working out for thousands of years
- 1:58Speaker 1: in the tribulation'll get at least for three and a
- 2:01Speaker 1: half years. And how do you do that? While you
- 2:03Speaker 1: work through these power brokers and influencers. Whether Elon Musk
- 2:07Speaker 1: is one or not, I don't know. I mean, as
- 2:09Speaker 1: the richest man in the world right now, who who
- 2:11Speaker 1: for Halloween wore a behemoth costume and a upside down
- 2:15Speaker 1: cross on him. He's not the friend that we think
- 2:18Speaker 1: he is. No, but certainly you wrote this article I'm
- 2:21Speaker 1: looking forward to read in your magazine about the tech oligarchs.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Possibly in the Ten Kings, one will rise up and
- 2:27Speaker 1: overthrow three of them. Will he not be a governmental
- 2:30Speaker 1: ruler like Nikolai Karpathia Romania or one of those figures.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Maybe he'll be a technocrat. I can't imagine Mark Zuckerberg
- 2:36Speaker 1: ruling the world, but you know, people, it could be
- 2:40Speaker 1: someone we don't know yet who will write technologies come
- 2:42Speaker 1: and go and very well, this technology could rise and
- 2:45Speaker 1: we could have a techno crawd over the world we've
- 2:47Speaker 1: I was talking with Gary Steerman today about his belief
- 2:51Speaker 1: how the youth worship technology. Well, they're going to actually
- 2:54Speaker 1: worship an image of the beast, the technological representation of
- 2:58Speaker 1: the Antichrist in the end times. It's not a stone's
- 3:01Speaker 1: throw from now to them, and they're gonna think it's cool.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I mean when when I feel bad for again, the
- 3:06Speaker 2: really my either my daughters or my grandson generation because
- 3:11Speaker 2: they've been raised on a phone in their hand or
- 3:13Speaker 2: a screen in front of their face their entire life.
- 3:15Speaker 2: And so you watch some of this. And let's go
- 3:19Speaker 2: back to the digital currency aspect of it in the
- 3:21Speaker 2: technology because again we Revelation thirteen, we based on the
- 3:27Speaker 2: ability to control and to program like again, these digital currencies,
- 3:32Speaker 2: whether it's on blockchain, using crypto, there's a lot of
- 3:35Speaker 2: investments by these banks in the crypto technology, in the
- 3:39Speaker 2: blockchain technology. But I think there's that's even problematic because
- 3:43Speaker 2: when we talk about a central bank digital currency, by definition,
- 3:50Speaker 2: it's it's open versus. The blockchain technology is decentralized. So
- 3:55Speaker 2: but nevertheless, when we see the system the payment systems
- 4:01Speaker 2: that are coming to be cashless, whether it's through again
- 4:06Speaker 2: through a PayPal type system, again, I would say this
- 4:08Speaker 2: about the West, the West is already behind China. There's
- 4:12Speaker 2: been there's a book that I just read recently called
- 4:13Speaker 2: The Castles's Revolution. It goes through all of what China
- 4:16Speaker 2: has been doing and it just came.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Out, Oh, the digital one.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Well, even more than that way more of that. It's
- 4:22Speaker 2: it came out in October, this book, but they were
- 4:24Speaker 2: describing the ways in which we are so behind the times.
- 4:28Speaker 2: And one of the ways that we're behind is because
- 4:30Speaker 2: in the West we have credit cards. Well what people
- 4:33Speaker 2: don't realize I never realized is that for the past
- 4:35Speaker 2: thirty years China they never have credit cards. Interesting, and
- 4:38Speaker 2: the reason why is because the fees were so high.
- 4:41Speaker 2: We're in the West, that was just kind of the system. Well,
- 4:43Speaker 2: when you don't have credit cards to manage your digital transactions. Again,
- 4:47Speaker 2: I don't care cash with me ever, but for them,
- 4:50Speaker 2: really about twenty twelve, they scarted to come with these
- 4:53Speaker 2: the apps on the phones.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Well they had to you. At that time period, only
- 4:56Speaker 1: ten percent of China was connected on the internet. Then
- 5:00Speaker 1: a few years later is about thirty three percent. So
- 5:02Speaker 1: we've seen a meteoric rise. The stats for twenty twenty
- 5:05Speaker 1: three years ago is that fifty four percent of Chinese,
- 5:08Speaker 1: all Chinese people had access to the internet. It was
- 5:10Speaker 1: three years later, it's probably in the sixties or so.
- 5:12Speaker 1: And how many people is that, Yeah, we're talking about
- 5:14Speaker 1: one point three billion peoples, So they couldn't possibly have
- 5:18Speaker 1: gone to a cashless system even a few years ago.
- 5:21Speaker 1: And I think when we talked earlier in another podcast
- 5:24Speaker 1: about connecting the world with satellites and stuff and connecting
- 5:27Speaker 1: people in tribes like the Andes and out in the
- 5:30Speaker 1: middle of Africa and stuff like that, well you connected
- 5:33Speaker 1: everybody also financially. And when you control their finances, you
- 5:37Speaker 1: control their futures. We saw that with Justin Trudeau, the
- 5:40Speaker 1: Prime minister in Canada, when he shut off the trucker's
- 5:43Speaker 1: protests by shutting off their finances. And he basically signs
- 5:46Speaker 1: that we've seen the West shut down Vladimir Putin by
- 5:50Speaker 1: cutting him off from the global economic society. He's only
- 5:52Speaker 1: staying afloat because China and India purchasing from him. And
- 5:55Speaker 1: so we see that. And if we read in a Revelation,
- 5:57Speaker 1: chapter thirteen, verse six, he says he causes all both
- 6:00Speaker 1: small and great, rich and poor, free enslave to receive
- 6:03Speaker 1: a mark on their right hand or their foreheads, and
- 6:06Speaker 1: that no one who do this, maybe they buy or sell,
- 6:08Speaker 1: except the one who has the mark, or the name
- 6:10Speaker 1: of the beast or the number of his name. We
- 6:13Speaker 1: are living in a time period we're seeing people being
- 6:15Speaker 1: silenced to disagree with government by shutting off their findances.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Imagine Mondo. If everybody is cashless, we're all dependent on
- 6:23Speaker 1: the banks. And the government tells the bank close their system,
- 6:26Speaker 1: don't let them use PayPal, don't lose them Apple pay whatnot.
- 6:29Speaker 1: You've cut people off from society. And we read that
- 6:32Speaker 1: in the Bible. Now, I'm not saying that we're at
- 6:34Speaker 1: the mark of the BT system.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Definitely not.
- 6:36Speaker 1: But we have the technology for it, and we.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Have precedent because I think one of the interesting thing
- 6:40Speaker 2: is for those at Laura on food stamps or whatever,
- 6:43Speaker 2: right they get their little card, they go into the store,
- 6:46Speaker 2: they go to buy something, maybe they want to buy
- 6:48Speaker 2: cigarettes or alcohol, and sorry, it's pre programmable.
- 6:52Speaker 1: You can't.
- 6:52Speaker 2: You're not allowed to buy that stuff. Which I think
- 6:54Speaker 2: that's great. You know that they wouldn't, you know, take
- 6:56Speaker 2: you know, government subsidies to buy those things. But it
- 6:59Speaker 2: shows you in a ants that the capability to pre
- 7:02Speaker 2: program what you are allowed to purchase is already here
- 7:07Speaker 2: and if and if you take the if, you just
- 7:09Speaker 2: expand it out even more as the as the technology
- 7:12Speaker 2: becomes more sophisticated. So one of the things that I'm
- 7:14Speaker 2: watching for is this China like system that's been in
- 7:18Speaker 2: place for it been put in place for the last
- 7:20Speaker 2: ten years for you know, five hundred and seven hundred
- 7:23Speaker 2: million people already. Again, there's there's societies in China where
- 7:27Speaker 2: you go, you walk in, you can't even use the
- 7:29Speaker 2: wand as a cash. It's all one hundred percent. I
- 7:32Speaker 2: mean I'm talking to these cities are one hundred percent
- 7:34Speaker 2: digital already. So we're behind it. But as things like
- 7:39Speaker 2: again what Elon Musk wants to do with through through Twitter,
- 7:43Speaker 2: it's gonna become more and more and it's going to
- 7:45Speaker 2: move away from the I would say the uh, they're
- 7:48Speaker 2: gonna have to change the credit cards technology into more
- 7:52Speaker 2: of a of an app system, which we see this
- 7:54Speaker 2: with Apple Pay and other things.
- 7:55Speaker 1: And the CBDs cb Central Bank digital currency is that's amount.
- 7:58Speaker 1: They'ren to need a better name for that brand it.
- 8:00Speaker 1: But the Central bank digital currencies are clearly away. Again,
- 8:04Speaker 1: it puts the banks in because what are the banks want?
- 8:06Speaker 1: They want us a part of every trans absolutely they
- 8:08Speaker 1: don't get that with cash, and so the banks are
- 8:11Speaker 1: enormously wealthy thanks to basically attacks on everything we buy.
- 8:15Speaker 1: You're seeing at least in certain countries like for the
- 8:18Speaker 1: last few year. Sweden has promised in twenty twenty three
- 8:20Speaker 1: this year that they would go totally cashless. Now they're
- 8:23Speaker 1: not all following as fast as they want to, but
- 8:26Speaker 1: the goal is by twenty thirty. Which interesting is the
- 8:28Speaker 1: World Economic Forums day, isn't it wants the world to
- 8:31Speaker 1: be in a cashless system. Why because you could control
- 8:34Speaker 1: people if you control their money.
- 8:36Speaker 2: And this is why, I mean, we'll end it here
- 8:38Speaker 2: at least this podcast.
- 8:39Speaker 1: This is why we believe we're.
- 8:41Speaker 2: In the end times.
- 8:42Speaker 1: This is the end of the age. I mean, we
- 8:43Speaker 1: know it's been.
- 8:44Speaker 2: The last times since Jesus left, but this is the
- 8:46Speaker 2: end of the age. And Jesus uses that phraseology and
- 8:49Speaker 2: all of the discourse. And so here we are, and
- 8:51Speaker 2: we see Revelation thirteen in other passages, and we see
- 8:54Speaker 2: the technology not only with phones, but with satellite systems
- 8:58Speaker 2: and as you mentioned, communications
