European leaders are getting closer to making the euro digital. Because the BRICS nations are talking about their own currency, Germany looks like it is pushing even harder for a digital euro:
Germany’s bold move to crush BRICS dominance – Will the Digital Euro work?
November 20, 2023
Germany has embarked on a bold initiative aimed at challenging the established dominance of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) currency in the global economic landscape. The focal point of this audacious move is the introduction of the Digital Euro, a groundbreaking digital currency set to revolutionize the financial sector. …
The BRICS alliance intends to introduce a new currency to the global currency market in order to compete with the U.S. dollar and the euro. A former advisor to the Russian president, Sergey Glazyev, verified early this month that the BRICS currency is “almost ready” for introduction.
According to reports, the alliance could launch the currency at its sixteenth summit in 2024. This development aligns with Germany’s strategic intention to challenge rival currencies in the market by developing a digital Euro.
Legislators throughout Europe, not just in Germany, are attempting to establish national digital currencies in order to adapt to the shifting financial landscape. While over 150 countries are currently developing CBDCs, only a few have launched pilots as of this year. …
Although a small number of EU member states support the CBDC, the rest have expressed interest in the notion that a digital currency is unnecessary.
Reports have it that failure by the United States, Germany, and the European Union to counter the BRICS currency after its introduction could prove disastrous for the West. https://www.cryptopolitan.com/germanys-bold-move-to-crush-brics-dominance/
Germany wants to dominate Europe and it does not want the BRICS nations to rise up past Europe.
Germany wants a CBDC because it will tend to broaden the appeal and use of the euro outside of the Eurozone, and hence be a more used alternative to the USA dollar.
Biblically, a CBDC appears to be a step towards ‘666’ control.
Others realize that control looks to be the objective:
The digital euro could usher in total state control
April 20, 2023
CBDC stands for “Central Bank Digital Currency.” PR consultants and journalists prefer to use the term “digital euro,” which is easier to remember and sounds nicer, but the trivialization of the term does not change the fact that behind all of this, total surveillance awaits.
The ECB’s planned digital euro works like Bitcoin on the basis of blockchain technology, but with a few key differences. …
In contrast, the blockchain on which the digital euro is based is not public and is managed centrally. All transactions go through the European Central Bank (ECB) network, which means there is no transparency whatsoever. Already, no one really knows how many euros are in circulation because they can be printed at will by the ECB. …
In the future, each of us will have a personally assigned account with the central bank. Every transaction can be tracked by the central bank and its associated authorities. The authorities can and will collect information about anyone who sends money to your wallet, who you send money to, how much money you spend, when you spend it, where you spend it, and on what. The authorities will know how often you go to the hairdresser, whether you have a subscription to the gym, whether you like to eat bananas, and how much money you spend on cat food.
I don’t think the leaders of the EU and the ECB will introduce the digital euro next year simply to use it to turn Europe into a dystopian nightmare the following year. Nor, most likely, will their successors. But they could. https://rmx.news/germany/the-digital-euro-could-usher-in-total-state-control/
Biblically, it is certain that massive state control over buying and selling will come to Europe (cf. Revelation 13:16-18)– as I have written for many years, some type of electronic currency will be involved. Other prophecies also point to persecution and censorship.
For years, Europe has been taking steps moving towards control and surveillance. This past June, it was reported that the ‘EU proposes giving legal backing to digital euro’. And earlier this month, a type of including digital identification was proposed (see ‘Beware the European Digital Identity’) and it looks like it will tie into of buying and selling (see ‘EU Parliament Agrees on Digital ID Introduction and Pro-Censorship Chief Suggests CBDC Integration’).
Back in November 2018, the European Union announced it would spend a billion euros on a quantum computer and several billion more on related matters (see EU to spend one billion euros on quantum tech to compete with USA and China; France’s Macron wants European military spending to go to European firms; ‘Europe Must Rebel’). This will assist with surveillance.
In December 2020, the European Union (EU) unveiled its Digital Services Act. I warned it had totalitarian implications then (see ‘EU ‘regrets’ new US tariffs’ & ‘EU Unveils New Rules to Curb Technology Companies’) and earlier this year (see IL: Censor The Internet Act: EU Agrees to Expand Online Censorship With ‘Digital Services Act’).
The EU keeps pushing for faster and faster monitoring and censorship.
Europe wants to set the standards for digital tech for the world as the euobserver reported: https://euobserver.com/democracy/154207
Setting the standards will also lead to more controls and, ultimately, contribute to the actual apocalypse.
Although various ones in the EU are warning against various controls and claiming to push for rights and privacy, the biblical reality is that Europe will become totalitarian itself (Revelation 13; see also EU summits to push for ‘European industry strategy’ and ‘proper’ thinking and EU proposes billions for ‘Digital Europe’ surveillance: This would assist 666).
Europe wants to dominate big tech itself. It is working on many ways to bypass the USA (e.g. Der Spiegel says Europe needs to employ ‘clever resistance’ as it works towards a post-USA world) as well as BRICS.
Plus, it has already taken various steps in order to do so.
The Bible shows that a European, totalitarian dictator will rise up (Revelation 13, 17:12-13)–and this will NOT end well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39), the Middle East (Daniel 11:40-43), or Europe itself (Daniel 11:44-45; Revelation 17:14; Revelation 18).
The Book of Revelation, also called the Apocalypse, has the following prophecy:
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)
When the Apostle John penned that, it was not possible to monitor all buying and selling, but as digital payments come to be the normal way to buy and sell, such monitoring can now occur (and, even in the USA, does to a degree).
As we warned before, Europe has been in the process of establishing an enforcer for 666 controls. We have a related video:
The European Union is in the process of establishing the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. This is a major, first-of-its-kind move, with the EU setting up a European-wide prosecutor’s office that will have power to investigate and charge people for financial crimes committed against the EU. It looks like this type of office may end up persecuting those that do not have the mark of the Beast when they “buy or sell” as that will later be considered a financial crime in Europe. What does 666 mean? How has that name been calculated? How can we be certain that this is a prophecy for Europe and not Islam? Is the appointment of this new office of significant prophetic importance? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more by pointing to scriptures, news items, and historical accounts.
Here is a link to the sermonette video: EU Setting Up 666 Enforcer?
Europe has set up such an office with that ability.
The European Public Prosecutor’s Office officially started operations on 1 June 2021 (https://www.eppo.europa.eu/en/background).
Europe is taking steps.
Last year, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
EU to be ‘Sheriff’ of BitCoin & Digital Currencies
Will Bitcoin remain unregulated? The European Union does not think it should be and it released a paper titled “Proposal for EU Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets.” Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, earlier endorsed EU regulation of crypto and digital currencies. A Belgian declared that the EU was the “new Sheriff in town” to deal with the “wild west” of Bitcoin, blockchain, and other cryptocurrencies. The European Union now also has the European Public Prosecutor’s Office in operation, mainly to deal with financial matters? Will the Europeans end up controlling buying and selling associated with 666 in Revelation 13:16-18? Is Europe taking preliminary steps to do so now? Dr. Thiel address these issues.
Here is a link to our video: EU to be ‘Sheriff’ of BitCoin & Digital Currencies.
We also put out the following:
In 1949, the late George Orwell wrote a disturbing book about a totalitarian government called “nineteen-eighty four.” Despite laws that are supposed to protect freedom of speech and religion, we are seeing governments taking steps consistent with those that Geroge Orwell warned against. We are also seeing this in the media, academia, and in private companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. With the advent of technology, totalitarianism beyond what Orwell wrote is possible. Does the Bible teach the coming a totalitarian state similar to George Orwell’s? What about the Antichrist and 666? Will things get worse? What is the solution? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more. A written article of related interest is titled “Totalitarian controls getting closer–The Guardian pushing internet censorship.”
Here is a link to our video: Orwell’s 1984 by 2024?
While the end will not come by 2024, the European Union is moving towards more ability to monitor electronic communications as well as to control buying and selling.

World Economic Forum, CBDCs, and 666
Are there concerns about CBDCs (Central Bank Digitial Currencies)? The Summer meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) was held from June 27-29, 2023 in China. Did WEF speaker and Cornell University professor Eswar Prasad warn of CBDCs could “take us to a pretty dark place’? What did the European Commission say about the future of a digital euro and various protections the same week? Is the tweeted statement, “No one will be able to control how you use your euros” false in the long run according to biblical prophecies, such as Revelation 13:16-18? Is there a real ability to program a CBDC with an expiration date as well as restricting what it could be used to purchase? Has monitoring of purchase transactions been proposed by various European leaders? Does the EU already have a potential enforcement arm of ‘666’? Has the European Central Bank said that cash was “not fit for the digital economy’? Are we moving more towards a cashless world? Are things really changing towards that? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel discuss these and other matters.
Here is a link to our video: World Economic Forum, CBDCs, and 666.
Are YOU paying attention? Things are changing and will not remain as they have.
We are getting closer to the day, with technologies unheard of when God inspired John to warn what would happen, that the totalitarian Beast of Revelation will be able to reign as well as enforce 666 controls.
