Cashless Society

Isaiah 55:1   "Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."

God instituted a cashless transaction a long time ago and it is voluntary.  You don't have to take part in it.  In the beginning God planted and garden and placed Adam and Eve in it, gave them responsibilities to care for it, provided for their needs, and came down and communed with them in the cool of the day.  You probably know the story, they rebelled against God and were cast out of the garden - big change!  Eventually money (which varied from culture to culture as to what was used) became the medium of exchange for services and goods.

Satan is a copy cat.  He also wants a cashless system (society).  He has been working to bring it about for some time now.  Generally people don't accept a big change all at once, thus we have the "boil a frog in cold water" concept.  There was barter, coin, paper money, checks, wire transfer, credit cards, debit cards, paid cards, touchless transactions, and more.  All this leading up to the "mark of the beast" which will be required of everyone.  In other words is not voluntary.  Revelation 13:17 says, "And that no man might buy or sell, saving he that had the mark, or the name of the beast or the number of his name."Governments of nations have been working toward this for some time now, and this coronavirus "epidemic" forced on us in being used to promote the cashless society.

However we need not be fearful in this (can we say "exciting"?) times.  Satan has been upstaged and God is accomplishing His purposes.

Thinking again of God's cashless transactions, Jesus said in Matthew 11:28  "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."  How's that, trading worry, fretfullness, concerns, labor for REST!  Yes the day the Lord Jesus Christ returns for His Bride is closer that it has ever been before.  The day of our Redemption draweth nigh!

Keep looking up!
