Convergence, The Last Days

The Last Economic System & The No-Buy/No-Sell Mandate

Rooted & Raised

From local banks to international finance, the world’s economy is being restructured. Cash is disappearing, physical bank branches are closing, and digital systems are rapidly taking over. Governments and central banks are promoting digital currencies and biometric IDs as the future of commerce.

Headlines read: “Central Banks Roll Out Global Digital Currency” and “Digital ID and CBDCs Now Required for Access to Services.”

The Bible warned of this long ago: a final global economic system where no one can buy or sell without allegiance to the Beast.

Agenda 2030’s Economic Framework

Agenda 2030 frames its goals in terms of fairness and sustainability:

  • Goal 8: “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth…”
  • Goal 10: “Reduce inequality within and among countries.”
  • Goal 17: Global partnerships for implementation — especially financial systems.

At first glance, these goals appear noble. But in practice, they create the scaffolding for a tightly controlled economy in which every transaction is monitored and governed.

Current Events in Motion

  • CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) are in pilot programs across dozens of nations, with many preparing for full implementation.
  • Digital IDs are increasingly required for banking access and services.
  • Cashless society initiatives are accelerating, with many retailers refusing cash.
  • Bank consolidations are reducing local access, forcing dependence on digital systems.
  • Carbon credits and energy allowances are being linked to spending and movement.

Together, these trends move the world toward a fully traceable, controllable, and centralized financial system.

Prophecy Foretold This

The Bible clearly describes this final economic order:

  • “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” (Revelation 13:16–17, c. AD 95, NKJV)
  • “Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; and he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without human means.” (Daniel 8:25, c. 530 BC, NKJV)
  • “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! … You have heaped up treasure in the last days.” (James 5:1–3, c. AD 45, NKJV)
  • “They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like refuse; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord.” (Ezekiel 7:19, c. 590 BC, NKJV)

This is not just another financial shift. It is the last economic system — spiritually binding and globally enforced.

Why This Matters

  • There will be no economic system after this one. It is the final order before Christ returns.
  • Control of money means control of life. When all transactions are monitored, allegiance becomes mandatory.
  • Neutrality will no longer be possible. People will either align with Christ or with the Beast.

The illusion of “fairness” will mask a reality of coercion and worship.

God’s Pattern of Provision

But God has always provided for His people outside corrupt systems:

  • In Egypt, God raised Joseph to preserve His people through famine (Genesis 41, c. 1875 BC).
  • In the wilderness, God gave Israel manna each day (Exodus 16, c. 1445 BC).
  • In the early church, believers shared their resources so that none lacked (Acts 2:44–45, c. AD 30).
  • Jesus promised: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33, c. AD 60, NKJV).

Though the Beast system seeks to enslave through economy, God’s kingdom provides true freedom and eternal security.

A Call to Watchfulness

Christians must not be deceived by the promises of inclusivity, equality, and progress that surround digital finance.

  • Recognize that digital IDs, CBDCs, and cashless systems are not neutral tools — they are the infrastructure for Revelation 13.
  • Prepare spiritually and practically, knowing that hardship may come, but God is faithful.
  • Proclaim boldly that salvation and provision are in Christ, not in the Beast’s economy.
