Staples Center is getting a new name. A source told the Associated Press that Crypto.com is paying $700m over 20 years to rename the building. It is believed to be the richest naming rights deal in sports history.
If you were an end times novelist like Tim LaHaye, Jerry Jenkins or Joel Rosenberg, and you wanted to write about what type of currency would be used under the Revelation 13 Mark of the Beast, you really couldn't do much better than the currency that actually exists right now, and is called cryptocurrency. Maybe you know what it is and maybe you don't, but in 2022 if the Lord tarries, you not only will know what crypto is, you will likely be using it on some level.
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 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. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)
The strong delusion from 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 is that Antichrist is Jesus Christ, so he will receive worship from the unsaved people left behind after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church takes place. With Antichrist comes the Mark of the Beast, and it is implanted inside people to allow them to buy and sell, to conduct financial transactions of all kinds, large and small. Obviously, this new currency will be digital, a counterfeit of God's gold, and will be connected with death and destruction that will emanate from Antichrist. Guess what? That currency is now here, with exactly the name you would expect from something connected to the Mark of the Beast, cryptocurrency. A 'crypt' is the place where the dead bodies are kept while they await burial, and cryptocurrency is the death coin that will power the Mark. Any questions?
