Recently I received this Email from Freedom Shield, April 14, 2025:
Over the weekend, I read an article about a man visiting his family in China.
He didn’t spend a single dime in cash.
The speed with which the country converted to digital only transactions stunned him.
But convenience came at a steep price.
No Internet. Information was censored and confined to government-approved apps.
He had to bring news from the outside world to his family.
In Australia, cashless is moving at lightning speeds with recent approval of the WEF treaty.

And here at home, digital is seen as convenient and helpful as FEDNOW rolls out in full force.
But, how quickly can cashless mean speechless?
Do you really own your voice if someone can turn you off with a click?
Think about it.
The power to silence dissent and control speech lies with those who control the digital ledger.
This isn’t freedom.
It’s a digital dictatorship.
We must stay vigilant.
Don’t be seduced by convenience.
Protect your freedom.
We are slowly being groomed for authoritarian control. I read a story last year about a woman who had a chip put into her hand so she would not need a key to get into her house. But then she discovered she could pay her bill at the store by placing her hand over the scanner. Now with the coming digital currency, there will be no cash, just the transferring of credit from one digital account to another. And the government can easily lock you out of your account, and you have nowhere else to turn. There will be no cash to keep under your mattress! Justin Trudeau’s blocking the trucker’s access to their bank accounts in Canada is a modern day example of this kind of government control over people through its control over the money. This article gives you a glimpse of the potential evil behind the things that seem more convenient and safer but actually give the government more control over people’s lives.
Beware the mark of the beast! It can easily sneak up on you as a desirable means of security and convenience. From several indications the mark of the beast will be a microchip imbedded in your hand or forehead and it will be built on and be the successor to digital currency. It will also contain GPS technology and communication capability. Besides the monetary benefits (no cash or credit cards that can be stolen and used, thereby reducing crime), it will be able to track everyone all the time. If a senior citizen wanders from the nursing home, his or her whereabouts can be determined and that person found. Also any children that get lost or kidnapped can be easily located and rescued. Lost hikers can be found before they die of dehydration or exposure. It will be a wonderful convenience and safety. But consider also that when the antichrist is in power and forbids anyone worshiping any god other than the beast of the antichrist, it will know if you have worshipped Jehovah God and Jesus and will arrest you. There will be no real freedoms any more that the government does not permit. All the safety and convenience the microchip provides will be more than offset by the control of an evil government and its curtailment of your present freedoms.
So while many of these modern advances will have positive benefits, be alert to their negative potential also. Remain close to the Lord so you will be able to discern truth and avoid any commitments that lead you, even involuntarily, to follow Satan rather than God. Although sins you commit are covered by the blood of Jesus, each one takes you further away from God’s presence in your life, meaning you are less able to hear God’s voice and leading. So confess your sins daily and seek God’s presence in your life to free you from their temptation. John’s book of Revelation warns us to avoid the mark of the beast, and says those who take it will end up in the fires of hell along with the antichrist and the beast. Revelation 14:9-11:
9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand,
10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
11 And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name.”
Even though the mark of the beast will seem like a good thing to most people, do not be deceived. Be alert and stay close to the Lord daily so you can hear His leading.
