666: Germany to Track Citizens’ Finances

In its latest update, LCG reported the following:

Germany To Track Citizens for Life and Beyond. For the first time in history, all fiscal databases in Germany will be centralized so that the state has control over everything that has to do with money given or received from citizens. Information from this central database will be stored at a “Center for Information Processing and Information Technology” (ZIVIT), which is linked to a customs bureau and all aspects of the newly created “e-government” called “Project Germany Online” (www.identifikationsmerkmal.de, September 3, 2008). Germany is preparing, under the name of “simplified and more efficient tax procedures for citizens,” to have full control and oversight over monetary aspects of its citizens. Although several European nations already have similar systems, with Germany coming online with such a system, it may be possible in the foreseeable future to track all EU citizens through a central database. This new German database is also interesting in light of Bible prophecies about the future role of Germany on the world scene and within the structure of a future European Beast power. God will use Germany and the Assyrian-descended peoples to gain control over many Israelite-descended peoples, just prior to the return of Christ (Isaiah 27:13), and prior to the time when God will elevate Germany, Egypt and Israel in His Kingdom (Isaiah 19:23-25).

Perhaps Germany is following the lead of the United States to eliminate financial privacy.

The Bible tells of a time where financial privacy will be all but gone:

16 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, 17 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. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666 (Revelation 13:16-18).

Steps are heading in that direction.

Some Doctrines of Antichrist Are there any doctrines taught outside the Churches of God which can be considered as doctrines of antichrist? This article suggests at least three. It also provides information on 666 and the identity of “the false prophet”. Plus it shows that several Catholic writers seem to warn about an ecumenical antipope that will support heresy.
