Deception is subtle… by definition!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2:
1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,
2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.
3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the Breath of His Mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the Love of the Truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the Truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Is there transparency these days?
Bitcoin and other digital alternatives have counterparty risks at some level.
Counterparty risk is the likelihood or probability that one of those involved in a transaction might default on its contractual obligation.
Bitcoin relies on the Internet. What happens if the Internet goes down? What happens if the Internet traffic flow is filtered and only allows “approved” flow? Did the developers create a “backdoor” to make their access undetectable by end users? What happens if the Govt outlaws or heavily taxes digital currencies? Every financial transaction is monitored by “the boys”.
Does a physical silver or gold coin in your possession have a counterparty risk? No.
Does the USD (U.S. Dollar) have counterparty risk? Yes, virtually everywhere. China is the largest.
Fiat money is a government-issued currency that is not backed by a physical commodity, such as gold or silver, but rather by the government that issued it.
Fiat currency is only as valuable as the trust and confidence given to it by those who are willing to accept it for goods and/or services.
Petrodollars are oil export revenues denominated in U.S. dollars. Petrodollars are not a distinct currency; they are simply U.S. dollars accepted as payment by an oil exporter. This places a global demand for U.S. dollars which has made it a de facto standard for payment by countries who require imported oil to meet their energy needs.
The USD is at the highest risk since 1973 when the petrodollar was established as the foundation for continued demand. This is due to over 60 countries no longer wanting to be forced to use USD. Why? The U.S has used the current system to strongarm countries to submit to U.S. policies around the world. Those countries no longer want to be controlled by a foreign nation. China and Russia are leading the way toward departing from the USD to conduct international trade without U.S. intervention and manipulation. They are moving toward a commodity-based solution which has gold as its foundation. The U.S. once had a gold-backed dollar until August 15th, 1971 when President Nixon removed that standard.
Why am I explaining all of this? Mystery Babylon is crumbling all around us and we must not be asleep. Instead, we are to focus on moving toward full spiritual maturity for this is where the answer to our future lies. It is vital that we get to the point where we expect the supernatural to operate in our individual lives. You were placed here by FATHER for this time so don’t be afraid. Be of good courage for The Holy Spirit will guide us through the times ahead!
