Economic chaos! What if your money—or how you use it—becomes the reason you’re locked out of everyday life? No groceries, no gas, no doctor’s visit. Sounds extreme, right? But in this message, Pastor David Jeremiah explains how current financial trends may be connected to Bible prophecy. He talks about cashless payments, microchip implants, and what the Bible says about the Antichrist controlling buying and selling in the last days. If you’ve never thought about economic chaos in your life, you’ll want to keep watching and reading.

Economic Chaos in the End Times Starts with Money

David Jeremiah starts by pointing out something clear: money has always mattered. But in the future, it’ll matter even more. The Bible shows that in the last days, the economy isn’t just part of the story—it’s front and center.

He highlights the destruction of Babylon in Revelation. Babylon, the “economic center,” collapses. It’s not just a political thing. It’s financial.

Is the “Mark of the Beast” Technology Already Here?

Then comes the part that gets real.

In Sweden, a company is putting microchips into people’s hands. These chips let them unlock doors, pay for things, and even log into their computers. All with a wave of the hand.

Jeremiah doesn’t say this is the “mark of the beast” from Revelation 13—but he says it could be a preview. The Bible says that during the tribulation, no one will be able to buy or sell unless they have the mark on their hand or forehead. That lines up eerily close.

What if the next time you’re at the store, they don’t ask for your card—just your hand?

Three Financial Signs of Economic Chaos in the End Times

1. The Love of Money Grows

Jeremiah says the Bible predicts people will be obsessed with money in the last days. Not just using it—but loving it. He points to verses like 2 Timothy 3:1–2, where people are described as “lovers of money.”

The problem isn’t money itself. It’s putting your trust in it. Many today think money can protect them, define them, or make them matter. That’s dangerous.

2. Wealth Gaps Will Explode

Next, he talks about inequality. Revelation 6 describes a time when a whole day of hard work will barely buy enough food for one person. Meanwhile, the rich will still enjoy their luxuries.

The poor get poorer. The rich stay rich. Sound familiar?

3. The Antichrist Will Control It All

Eventually, Jeremiah says, one man—the Antichrist—will rise. He’ll take control of both spiritual and financial systems. No one will be able to buy or sell without his mark. He’ll have help from another figure, the False Prophet, who pushes people to follow him.

The end result? A world where you can’t live unless you follow this leader—and prove it with the mark.

What Should Christians Do?

Jeremiah doesn’t just give warnings. He ends with action steps.

Count the Cost
Following Jesus isn’t always easy. It could cost you relationships, freedom, even money. He tells believers: Be ready. Don’t be surprised if faith gets expensive.

Stay Confident
God promises to never leave us. No matter what the world does, believers can rest in that.

Be Content
Learn to live without chasing more. Find joy in what you already have. He quotes verses reminding us that contentment is learned—and it keeps us from being controlled by money.

Be Aware of What’s Happening in the World

David Jeremiah’s message isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness. The way we use money today might be leading to what Revelation talks about. That doesn’t mean the end is tomorrow—but it could be soon.

His challenge: Don’t just watch what’s happening. Think about where you stand with God.

If the world is moving toward the full control of money, now is the time to trust in something—and Someone—that never changes.
