Biometric Technology And A Cashless Society: Why People Are Asking Questions About The Mark Of The Beast

Well-known
Joe Rogan is a comedian, podcast host, and UFC commentator. His podcast, which I do not endorse with the rank language he often uses, has over 15 million subscribers. He’s a major influencer in our culture today and an unbeliever.

A couple of weeks ago, he had a guest named Duncan Trussell, who is a stand-up comic, writer, and actor. Surprisingly, they discussed for quite some time how a cashless society is a precursor to enforcing the mark of the beast.

During his program, Joe Rogan asks, “How long before we’re a cashless society?” Trussell responded:

“Hopefully, forever. It is so scary to imagine losing privacy completely because every transaction is in the public eye [and is] observable… This is where I get scared because it’s too similar to the mark of the beast. It’s too similar to exactly what [the Bible in the book of Revelation] says. You won’t be able to trade, you won’t be able to do anything unless you have the mark, unless you bear the mark.”

This response led Joe Rogan to say, “How’s the Mark of the Beast described in the Bible? I think we’re onto something here.”

Rogan then pulled up the Bible and read from Revelation 13:11-18, a section that describes the coming false prophet, a kind of second in command or the lieutenant of the coming antichrist, who is going to make an image to him. The influential podcast host read this entire section live on his broadcast.

This is a well-known unbeliever talking at length about the mark of the beast, reading the book of Revelation, making this connection between a cashless society and the rise of the antichrist.

On the heels of that conversation, the new “Amazon One” technology is about to go nationwide. A recent headline from CBS News reads, “Amazon releases new cashless ‘pay by palm’ technology that requires only a hand wave.”
This article discusses the use of biometric palm scanning technology, which again, is part of this cashless society that Joe Rogan was talking about:

**Note
Even if the substance for the "Mark of the Beast" is here, it will not begin to be implemented until there is the False prophet (the beast of the earth)
And the "Beast" (out of the sea, The Antichrist)
The mark of the Beast will be about giving allegiance and worship to the "Beast" in order to have privileges in society such as buying and selling.

This will not happen until after the Rapture of the church, indwelled by The Spirit, that is the restraining force holding back the revealing of the Antichrist.


"He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 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."
Revelation 13:15-17



"Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming"
2 Thessalonians 2:3-8
