Today, I want to talk about Bitcoin and how it is fulfilling Bible prophecy
0:06
Discover what the Bible says about Bitcoin and understand what your focus should be as a Christian or disciple of Christ
0:23
If you have been following the financial news lately, it would be impossible to miss the term Bitcoin
0:30
No doubt, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could not be ignored anymore. Since its introduction on January 8, 2009, a single Bitcoin has soared to a staggering $30,000
0:45
Cryptocurrencies are known to be highly volatile. So a lot of people are wondering whether this value can dramatically change in just a matter
0:53
of weeks or not. Now I'm not here to talk about how you can invest in Bitcoins, all right
0:58
But I want to talk about what the mainstream media failed to address
1:04
I want to talk about something that's more important than investing in Bitcoin
1:09
What you are about to learn in this video is something you don't hear from mainstream media
1:14
such as CNN, BBC or Fox. In this video, let us take a look at how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are fulfilling
1:23
Bible prophecy. Is Bitcoin even mentioned in the Bible? If it is, then what does the Bible say about it
1:31
Most importantly, what should be our focus as Christians? Let's answer these questions today
1:39
But before you proceed, I would like to help you further by giving you a free copy of my e-book

Please check the link below to request your free copy. So let's continue
2:09
To give you a quick background, let us briefly discuss what Bitcoin is
2:14
Well, Bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency today. It is a form of digital asset that allows users to buy and sell products and services mainly
2:23
over the internet. Because Bitcoin is the top. governed by any central bank or single administrator, its potential as an internet currency
2:33
is truly almost limitless. With Bitcoin, you can easily send and receive money from anywhere
2:39
the world without having to go through a bank, making the transaction faster and more cost-effective
2:46
Since Bitcoin works within an open-source blockchain, it is difficult to cheat or commit
2:53
fraud without other people noticing your activities. Everything can be tracked and anyone at any time can verify Bitcoin transactions Andreas M Antonopoulos the much admired information security expert and author wrote in his best selling book The Internet of Money
3:13
He said, there are almost 200 currencies of the world, but there's only one international currency
3:20
There are almost 200 currencies controlled by central banks and governments, but there's
3:24
only one mathematical currency today, and that is Bitcoin. We are going to build more of them
3:31
Cryptographic currencies are going to be a mainstay of our financial future
3:37
They are going to be a part of the future of this planet because they have been invented
3:42
It's as simple as that. You cannot uninvent this technology. You cannot turn this omelette back into eggs
3:50
End of quote. As you can see, Bitcoin is undoubtedly touted as the future currency
3:56
With the growing popularity of Bitcoin, it has not just attracted ordinary people
4:01
but also the big governments of this world. For the past years, world governments just patiently waited and watched what Bitcoin may mean for this world's economy
4:12
There's good indication and evidence that governments, tax authorities, and regulators and other global elites
4:19
are now looking into the possibility of using Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, or at least duplicate its system to advance their own interest
4:29
Thus, in the near future, we're going to see how governments and authorities will try to take more control of digital currencies
4:38
Governments recognize how difficult it is to stop or eliminate cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin
4:45
So instead of destroying Bitcoin, they might be going to use it for their own good
4:50
As they say, if you can't beat them, join them. There's no way for any government to let a financial system that is so good to escape their country
4:59
With all this in mind, many students of the Bible speculate what role Bitcoin might play in the fulfilling of Bible prophecy
5:08
In Daniel 12 verse 4, we have seen the prophecy about the explosive increase in knowledge
5:14
We read, But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end
5:22
Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase. There's no doubt that the Bitcoin is just one of the many amazing byproducts of technological
5:33
advancements predicted by Daniel thousands of years ago. Indeed, we have seen how men have increased in knowledge astronomically in ways beyond our
5:44
wildest imaginations. We have achieved technological breakthroughs that were inconceivable just a century ago
5:52
Bitcoin is one of the ways we are reinventing how we process finances
5:57
and perform business transactions. It is a revolutionary method of buying and selling
6:04
and if this method falls into the hands of an elite group, it may grant them tremendous and powerful financial control This lead us to the question Could Bitcoin be used to fulfill Bible prophecy about the mark of the beast
6:20
We read in Revelation 13 verse 16 to 18. He causes all both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave
6:29
to receive the mark on the right hand or on their foreheads
6:33
and that no one may buy or sell except one who was the mark or the mark
6:39
or the name of the beast or the number of his name
6:43
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast
6:48
For it is the number of a man. His number is 666
6:54
So does this explicitly say that Bitcoin will be the means for the beast
6:57
to control financial system of this world and in turn the people
7:02
Here's the truth. The answer can be a yes or no. It is still too early to be the moment
7:09
For now, everything is just speculation. Yes, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be used by the government to take control of the buying and selling activities of the global population
7:21
But it can also be a no if there comes something in the future that would replace cryptocurrencies as a better way for the beast to control people
7:30
In short, we just don't know as of yet. We can speculate all day, but only God can show us how the apocalyptic can show us how the apocalyptic
7:39
prophecies and revelation would exactly come to pass. But one thing is for sure
7:45
The Beast's main platform is to promote prosperity, wealth, and abundance to everyone
7:51
They can only achieve this if they can control everyone's financial behavior from the global
7:56
to a personal level. And that's what is certain to happen. Since we don't know yet whether Bitcoin will be used by the Beast or not, we must focus more
8:06
on what we know. We know that for those who compromise their Christian values and principles will obtain the mark of the beast
8:15
While most people think that this mark is something that can be physically seen in people's bodies
8:20
and I don't take away its possibility, I am confident to say that this mark comes with spiritual elements
8:28
We read in Revelation 13 verses 11 to 15, Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb
8:38
he spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth
8:45
and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed
8:51
He performs great signs so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in
8:57
the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on earth
9:01
on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast
9:07
telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived
9:14
He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed You see at the end it is really not Bitcoin that we
9:31
should be worrying about. It is our relationship with God. There will come a time when a world
9:38
ruling government will decisively intervene and persecute the true worshippers of God and will do
9:45
all things within his power to sway the majority of this world's population to be part of a
9:51
counterfeit religion. What must we do? The apostle Peter gave a powerful sermon during the day of Pentecost
9:59
The people listening to him were cut to the heart and asked a life-changing question
10:05
Men and brethren, what shall we do? The answer Peter is just explicable and valid for us
10:12
that it was during their time. He said in Acts 2, verse 38
10:16
repent and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua, the Messiah
10:22
for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit
10:27
Yeshua or Jesus Christ himself said, unless you repent, you will all likewise perish
10:35
More and more people are putting their faith in Bitcoin. However, time will come when Bitcoin will actually be worthless
10:42
like gold and silver. At the end of it all, only one thing will matter
10:48
It is your relationship with Yahweh, your father, and Yahshua his son
10:53
Don't let Bitcoin or any material wealth distract you from what truly is important
10:58
Matthew 6 verse 33,000 says what our top priorities should be. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness
11:07
and all these things shall be added to you. So whether Bitcoin will be used by the Big Tenors
11:12
missed or not, my question for you is this. Is your relationship with God strong enough to endure the coming great persecution
11:21
It is my sincerest hope that you and I will find the strength, courage and faith to endure until the end
