No one will be able to buy and sell ANYTHING except through the brokers of Babylon. Amazon is the nearest approximation we have to the future financial controllers of the world–except imagine that you can't purchase ANYTHING unless you have the mark of the beast and go THROUGH the end-time system.

For this, I bring you a line from Shakespeare's Macbeth. There is no better example, in my mind, of how cleverly God fulfills His Scripture.
