The Logic of the One World Currency
Throughout the time of christianity, there has been a legacy of a one world currency that will come to be in the end times. It is written in the bible that the Anti-Christ will develop and bring a currency to the world that is universal, meaning that money will be just that, money. Not euro, not dollar, not yen, not peso…. Just plain money. It is said that a one world currency is detrimental to christianity, and that God does not want a one world currency. According to the bible, in fact, he is so very opposed to it that he endorses war, bloodshed, ill will, and even genocide as means to enforce his wishes. God even goes so far in the book of Revelations to note that a one world currency will come to be, even though it’s not what he wants us to have.
Revelation (13:16-18): "And he (the Beast) shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to receive a mark on their right hands, or on their foreheads, and that none might buy or sell, unless he carried this mark, which was the beast’s name, or the number that stands for his name. Here is wisdom; he that has understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred and sixty-six".
Supposedly, the unified currency is of the beast, and should be considered unsavory. Have christians not already noticed their number assigned to their name, which dictates their finances from taxation to credit? These numbers are already assigned to some of mankind. The rest of mankind has yet to be included in the money games that christians have both created and enjoyed.
Just this year I met with the district manager of one of the largest financial firms in the country. With the world economy being in the state that it has been in, I was concerned that perhaps changes had already began to take effect. The man actually laughed in my face and informed me that a one world currency would never happen. His words were "People are too fiercely independent to allow a one world money". There I have it. Either my company’s boss doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or God doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Hm…
After years of considering the potential and the liabilities of a one world currency, I have determined:
1. It’s coming. It will happen. It shall happen. It’s going to be. The bible says so, and you can kick and scream and whine and just go die, if that makes you feel better, but the truth of the matter is, it will happen.
2. Income tax rates fluctuate around the globe. In the United Kingdom, someone might pay as much as 40% of their earnings in taxes, while in the United States, people seldom pay more than 28%. A Frenchman can be charged as much as 58% of his earnings in income tax, the Dutchmas as much as 52%. These are sizeable differences. Unified currencies would level the field, so to speak. With a one world currency, the plans for global taxation would be much easier to factor, and the purposes served by income taxes worldwide could also be consolidated into much more efficient, effective operations. *Gasp* Seriously, people… Why make life harder than it needs to be with a new and different government rule for every little town and settlement between here and Timbuktu?
3. A single currency that is acceptable worldwide will simplify the workload of government and financial offices everywhere. It would reduce mathematical errors considerably, as there would be fewer mistakes to be made in conversions. People would be better able to understand and work together, rather than be forced to address differentials from border to border.
4. The largest two foreseeable problems with a one world currency is going to be, of course, the opposers, and then, the ones who are not able to comprehend the change. If money keeps rolling and flowing through the electronic markets as it has been, they won’t have too much trouble absorbing the processes, but creating a universal value on a set entity and then teaching the world as a whole to adjust their mathematical problems accordingly just might trigger a wealth of choas.
Timothy 1 (6:10) For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
