Legacy on New Currency

Today, the latest newsletter from Legacy Institute’s Leon Sexton (who is based in northern Thailand) arrived.

Here is some of what he reported:

I have here on my desk a copy of The Nation, one of Thailand’s two leading English language newspapers. The front page headline says: “IMF Chief Backs Currency Talks.” The article states, “International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn on Wednesday said talks on a new world reserve currency to replace the U.S. dollar were ‘legitimate’ and could take place ‘in the coming months.’”…

There is no doubt that we are headed for a major shift in the world’s monetary system. The United States is rapidly losing its place as the world’s number one financial broker.

The dollar will be replaced by a new world currency. One way or another, this is going to happen. The world is rapidly shifting away from the U.S. dollar as the number one currency in use. In October, 2006, the European currency (Euro) passed up the dollar in the combined value of currency in circulation. Every year, more and more international transactions are being done in Euros and no longer in dollars. Now the Chinese have thrown in their own economic and political power behind replacing the U.S. dollar with something else. This will not be the Chinese Yuan or even the Euro. It will probably be something new and not known before. China “advocated a ‘super-sovereign reserve currency’ that’s disconnected from any individual nation.”

The Bible tells us that at the End of the Age, a final world ruling government will emerge from the legs of iron in King Nebuchadnezzar’s vision of the image in Daniel 2. There will be ten leaders or kings, represented by the ten toes. These will give their power over to a worldwide economic system.

Now, I am not going to pretend that I can tell you who those ten kings are or even how all this will happen. All I know is that IT WILL HAPPEN! And what I see on TV and read in the news tells me that it is rapidly unfolding…

The Bible tells us that someday we will not be able to buy or sell without some special “mark.”…

Rev 13:16-17 “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, 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.”

This includes everyone from all walks of life…

Rev 14:9-10 “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation.’”

The temptation to give in will be great. We will not be able to buy anything, including food for our families. We will not be able to have jobs and earn a living. We will be unable to function in the society. How many of us will give in to temptation? How many of us will compromise and justify our actions—all the time thinking, “But God will understand?”

The problem is God will not understand! That is why He gives us the warnings of Revelation 14. Will we listen to His divine warnings?

While much of what he wrote is correct, I would like to point out that we in the Living Church of God do believe that we know basically who the ten kings will be. They will be ten European leaders.

Asia will not be officially part of this, though it will temporarily accept the religion that the Beast will endorse. But, according to the Bible, it will cause trouble for the European King of the North.
