The Final Economic Trap

What if the world's pursuit of progress was actually building a prison?Artificial intelligence, Universal Basic Income, Central Bank Digital Currencies, and Digital IDs are being hailed as the solutions to poverty, efficiency, and global unity. Yet behind the promises of safety and convenience lies the final snare - the economic trap foretold in Revelation 13."And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark." (Revelation 13:17)For centuries, believers have wondered how such a system could ever be enforced.
Today, the answer is unfolding in plain sight. In this urgent prophetic book, Larry D. Washington exposes: How AI is dismantling the middle class and hollowing out society. Why gig work and automation are conditioning humanity for obedience. The elimination of cash and barter as the last lines of freedom. How UBI and CBDCs form the digital cage of economic control. The role of Digital ID in merging money, identity, and allegiance.
The prophetic fulfillment of Daniel's ten kings and Revelation's Beast system. The collapse of Babylon's economy and the triumph of Christ's Kingdom. But this book is not only about the trap - it is about the testimony of the saints. You will discover how God will sustain His people in the wilderness, how the Underground Church will form hidden economies of faith, and why the eternal trade-off will force every soul to choose: allegiance to the Beast or allegiance to Christ.
Key themes include: Provision in the Wilderness - God's miraculous supply for His remnant. The Underground Economy of the Saints - sharing, bartering, and surviving outside the Beast's system. Sorceries of Babylon (Pharmakeia) - how addiction, deception, and control will enslave the nations. The Brief Window After the Rapture - the urgent call for those left behind to prepare before the mark is enforced.
The final economic trap is not science fiction. It is prophecy becoming reality. The systems of men are tightening, freedoms are disappearing, and soon survival itself will demand allegiance. But for those who refuse, who endure hunger, persecution, and even death, there awaits eternal life, white robes, and victory with the Lamb. This is not a book of speculation, but a trumpet blast of warning. The question is no longer if these things will happen, but when.
And when the trap closes, the only safe place will be in Christ.
