Thursday Bible Life Today Current Events & Biblical Prophecy 3-13-2025

The current event we consider today that relates to Biblical Prophecy is the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). We reference a video from March 10, 2025 entitled: EU Accelerates Digital Euro Launch: Revealed Date of Programmable Digital Currency Roll Out". Their target date is October of this year, 2025.
This fits into the one-world system of the Beast that the antichrist will finally have in place during the Tribulation Period. In that system there will be the need for a one-world currency to facilitate a one-world economy, a one-world religion, and a one-world government. The word "convergence" becomes a buzz word for prophecy buffs as we see many things coming together at the same time that will facilitate the antichrist's system.
We look at the following passages for some relevance to our thoughts about the Digital Currency fitting the system:
Revelation 6:12
Revelation 13:1-18
