When it comes to the Beast rising in power, whoever they may be, Celestial said that they will find ways to make other people penniless or without money in some way. While it is possible for some people to retain as much wealth as they can, especially when it comes to certain necessities in life, this new economic system would make other versions of communism and socialism look strangely capitalist in comparison. If I’m not mistaken, communism is an economic ideology built on socioeconomic equality where there’s little if any distinction between social classes and where wealth is shared. I could be wrong in here, but Celestial said that communism will really come to America.
There are communists in America but they will become the norm in the future, especially when the Beast comes to power that what capitalist claims America currently has will be undone or revoked. Getting rid of economic inequality is a noble goal as are middle class aspirations, but in practise this would affect certain people a lot in order to achieve it. I think people who are wealthy will be targetted the most, it has happened before in Russia due to how greedy its aristocrats were and how they got overthrown by both the poor and communists. This will happen again but on a larger scale and also in America of all countries, especially when the Beast rises to power by bringing over a version of communism there.
This will spread to the whole world when it does happen, so those will this much wealth will do anything to live in hiding. On the other hand, it’s in line with the biblical verse where people are told not to store treasures on earth where they’ll be ruined or forsaken but in heaven where they’ll be kept forever. One would only wonder if the prophecy of a new global form of communism as brought out by the Beast might have a basis in this verse alone or something, if so then it is prophetic in nature. So it would be better to trust in God’s provision by then, including things like books and fabric, over its human counterpart.
That’s even pointed out in a comment by somebody else, so while it might be possible for some countries in the future to do what both Vietnam and China were doing for some time, the Beast system would be peculiar in its ability to take away material wealth from people. There will be people opposing this system a lot in secret, not just disgruntled people but also those who want to afford basic necessities. The opposition will grow bigger once the Antichrist comes to power and finishes whatever the Beast did before, in fact much of that opposition comes from Christians themselves.
They want to be able to afford something without being interfered or reminded of by their enemies, so they will fight back even if it’s in ways nobody would’ve expected them to do. America has been the leader in almost anything and everything these days, even if its days are going to be numbered in the future, but it’s generally a world leader when it comes to the worst. Pornography, entertainment with questionable morals, questionable politics and so on. It will become a world leader in communism when the Beast comes to power, albeit a version of communism that will be unleashed to the whole world.
It is possible to fight against this by relying on God a lot, but it seems the only people who’re willing to do this are Christians. Some countries might get off better, some wouldn’t be so lucky. I have a feeling that western countries will be the unlucky ones, eastern countries would most probably follow the Chinese model of socialism more. That’s if eastern countries would also include African ones at that, so they’ll constitute the global east as there’s a global west. It would be pretty shocking to think that somebody like Barack Obama would be the Beast.
If this is true, then he’ll be US president the third time. Anyways, the Beast is something of a precursor to the Antichrist but the actual Antichrist would be far worse and more deceptive. For now, it’s the calm before the storm. For now, America is capitalist. But a lot will change in the future.
