It is all political.
Satan would have man’s wealth and the economy within his control.
The sign of the beast would be the coin of the day. Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s. We all use coin of some kind. Even paper coin and plastic coin. All numbered and accounted for. We have all taken on and wear the sign of the beast. We just do not acknowledge it in those terms.
It is impossible for our socio economic demographic pyramid to collapse. It can only redistribute. It will always have a pyramidal shape of some kind. This means that we can collectively decide what that shape should be and stabilize it if we choose to do so. It would profit the whole common and give greater long term benefits and growth.
The stabilizing force is in the hands of the rich and powerful who are presently holding the wealth. The same ones who are just gabbing and not putting their money where their mouths are.
We are told by the media; the spread between the rich and the poor continues to be widen. More and more wealthy individuals are giving up their fortunes to show an example; there is profit in spending. Everyone wins; not just the wealthy.
I have to ask the rest of the wealthy individuals to do the same. You know when you spend; everyone will profit from it. Don’t hang unto it. You know you can spread the wealth and stabilize our economy situation. In the end you will also profit from it.
Since we see government controlling the economy, to a great extent, and knowing that spending is good for the demographic common, and because it has been the poorer sectors ---taking it in the chin; should the rich be legislated into doing the right thing by investing their growing wealth ----so that all may profit?
The OP seems to be making some broad assumptions without any facts to back them up.
To the best of my knowledge Christ didn't preach collective salvation but that each must come to him of his own free will. Thus, forced "social justice" and re-distributive wealth via the government as a means of collective salvation are myths of the statists.It is the love of money which is the root of all evil, not the money (coin) itself. As for the mark of the beast, I suspect we may see relized that with digitized money and the forced implantaiton of RFID cards one day in the not so distant future for on the spot information transfer of finanical and health care information from the user to the provider.
Our US Constitution, when strictly ahered to, is a stabilizing force by limiting the greed of government for more and more power by denying individuals their liberty and their earnings. The state is the source of most violence world wide (wars). The state uses violence and the threat of violence to get its way and to force people to conform their behavior and activities to its wishes. It is a parasite intent on destroying its host civilizations. Yet, the OP would appear to be that same kind of statist wanting more power, more money, more control.
The story of revelations and the anti christ are so vague that you can make a case for anyone to be the anti christ.
Saddam Hussein, Hitler, Bill Gates, Barrack Obama, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Qaddafi, and Usama Bin Laden could all be twisted to meet the requirements of the anti-christ.
There is no God. There is no Satan. Stop worrying and just live your life.
