Beast-Type Money Grab Serves as Prophetic Warning
By Bill Wilson
Revelation 13:17 speaks of
the mark of the beast — commonly known these days as the Antichrist: “And that
no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name.” Often prophecy is revealed a layer at a time,
seemingly to give God’s people more understanding of what is about to
come.

The tiny island of Cyprus may well serve as a modern petri dish
for what could happen under a “beast” empire. The European Union has required
Cyprus to shut down its state-owned bank and raid 40% of accounts above $130,000
to raise about $5.5 billion in exchange for a $13 billion bailout. Leading up to
the deal, Cypriots were only allowed $130 per day in bank
withdrawals.

Cyprus is divided into two parts — one is recognized by the
United Nations as a “democratic republic” and the other part is recognized by
only Turkey. UN peacekeepers provide a buffer between the Muslim and Christian
sides. The Communist party controls the politics in Cyprus.

Cyprus is a popular destination for “Arab” visitors. Sex
trafficking and slavery are a problem in Cyprus, according to the U.S. State
Department Trafficking in Persons report. It is also considered a “Casino”
economy. In other words, Cyprus, like the United States, is in a fallen moral
condition as well as a debt-ridden economic state.

The Cyprus national debt is $21 billion, or about $18,000 per
person living in Cyprus.

In comparison, the U.S. National Debt is $16.7 TRILLION. With
interest, it is $59.2 TRILLION, which is $187,645 per taxpayer. This, according
to U.S. Debt Clock, which obtains its figures via the US Department of Treasury.

If the European Union is
willing to confiscate bank accounts over $18,000 of debt for every person living
in Cyprus, what would the occupant of the Oval Office be willing to do over
$187,645 in debt from each taxpayer — 10 times the amount in Cyprus? The US is
a large reflection of Cyprus–a tax and spend socialist government and moral
decay combining for a “beast”-type government takeover.

The EU action in Cyprus
should serve as a stiff warning to all of what a powerful government can do when
the people are unable and/or unwilling to defend themselves against it. For
example, Cyprus has the same gun policy that the federal government is proposing
in America — gun owners must be licensed and prove a genuine reason to possess
a gun. The Cyprus population is essentially disarmed. It had no will nor ability
to prevent the EU action.

While we cannot stop the
march of prophecy, we can determine our place in it. As the people of Cyprus
have determined their place in the EU, the citizens of America can look at this
example and decide — beast submission or
self-determination.
