VI. Solving the Revelation 13:18 Riddle : the Beast, Idolatry Currency and Gold |
In Scripture currency is synonymous with idolatry.
The image of Micah was made from money that the mother of a boy saved for the purpose of making it into an idol which ended up in Micah’s home.
Throughout history, ancient and modern nations use gold for currency.
Only after World War II did the world stop using gold as a reserve for currencies. Gold, that is money is synonymous with idolatry.
We see gold and silver as currency in the description of the Prince of Tyre, who is compared to the Antichrist,
Ezekiel 28:4-5 states, “You have gained riches for yourself, and gathered gold and silver into your treasuries, by your wisdom in trade you have increased your riches and your heart is lifted up because of your riches.”
Nebuchadnezzar was depicted as the head of fine gold.
Daniel 2:32-33: The image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar in verse 37, “You are this head of gold.” The Bible tells us that the reason it had a head of gold was because of its power, strength and glory and wealth. In the Antichrist’s image we can expect to see a correlation of gold with currency.
There is also the pattern established in the Bible that the currency buys the idol or the currency is turned into the idol.
With the image of the beast and the Mark of the Beast and the technology that helps it come into being along with the money that is used to fund it, we see the fulfillment of Daniel 11:38, “But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.”
