“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.”
Revelation 13:17 KJV
The intent was clear - to control the world markets by manipulating people’s minds and behaviour with the same idea of the original sin, with its typical symptoms which ‘not being defined by your identity but by your works to trade in and endorse your identity by your works!’ Failure and sin-consciousness is the currency of the entire religious industry - no one can buy or sell without being identified by the character, name and password of their idol, the beast. When Jesus first went up to the temple in Jerusalem in time for the Jewish Passover, He was shocked to find scores of traders and money brokers comfortably set up in the sanctuary. He plaited a whip and drove everyone out overturning their tables sending money flying all over the place. Jesus dramatically revealed that His Father has no delight in our religious sacrificial systems with its sin-conscious currencies. His own skin was whipped and broken to drive out sin-consciousness from our minds - the ultimate cleansing of the Temple He has made our bodies to be - the sanctuary of God within us! How can we turn our Father’s house into a shopping mall? Amen!
