Get more and more people dependent upon government money - EBT, SNAP - shoot I'm there, too, with SS at this point in my life - I'd rather work - the crash of 2008 ... sigh
Once Digital Currency is the only available means of BUYing and SELLing to the average person - well, then it's only short distance to the coming Mark of the Beast (not until the MIDDLE of the 7 years of 'Peace and Security' - which have NOT started yet)
Then shall be Great Tribulation - Grocery shopping will be impossible for Tribulation Saints (Revelation 20:4)
Buying groceries will be impossible for Tribulation Saints who refuse the Mark of the Beast. Look at how quickly a substantial portion of the world was locked down for COVID-19(84).
Revelation 20:4 King James Version
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
