7. Central bank digital currencies (CBDC) in the Bible?

What is it?

Before we dig into CDBC in the Bible, we need to understand the symbolic meaning of the word “Manna”.

The word “Manna” first appeared in the Bible in Exodus 16:15 when God led the Children of Israel out of Egypt. He fed them with Bread that came down from heaven.

And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the BREAD which the LORD hath given you to eat. Exodus 16:15

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with BREAD; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God. And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. Exodus 16:12-14

Manna is the Bread the Lord has given the Children of Israel to eat.

The symbolic meaning of The Bread of Life

And Jesus said to them, “I am the BREAD OF LIFE. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. John 6:35

“I am the BREAD OF LIFE.” John 6:48

“I am the living BREAD which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this BREAD, he will live forever; and the BREAD that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” John 6:51

The Bread of Life symbolizes the Word of God. John referred to Jesus as “The Word” here:

“In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” John 1:1-5

Jesus, “The Word of God”, is symbolized by the “Bread”. He made the distinction between physical Bread and spiritual Bread when He said:

“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by BREAD alone, but by every WORD that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Matt 4:4

Again, Jesus emphasized the Spiritual Bread when he broke it and gave it to His disciples.

And as they were eating, Jesus took BREAD, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” Matt 26:26

It has nothing to do with His physical flesh. The Spiritual Bread of Life represents the Word of God, manifested in Jesus. Again, He distinguished physical Bread and Spiritual Bread here:

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have NO BREAD.” But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no BREAD? DO YOU NOT YET PERCEIVE NOR UNDERSTAND? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.” “Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.” So He said to them, “HOW IS IT THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND?” Mark 8:16-21

When we read the Word of God, it goes through digestion. When it is digested, we gain a new understanding. There are no wastages. Again, Jesus makes the connection to the “understanding” of the Word of God here:

So Jesus said, “ARE YOU ALSO STILL WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING? Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? Matthew 15:16

Why did the Children of Israel called it “Manna”?

And the house of Israel called its name “Manna”. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. Exodus 16:31

They called it Manna because they did not know "what is it". Instead of Spiritual Bread, what they saw was physical white coriander seed, and they tasted physical wafers made with honey.

The word “manna” in Hebrew(mān מָן) means “What is it?”

And Jesus said to them, “I am the BREAD OF LIFE. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. John 6:35

Jesus said when anyone consumes the Bread of Life, they will never hunger and never thirst. It is mirrored here in Exodus. “Those who gathered much had nothing left over, and those who gathered little had no lack.”. 

Then the children of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less. So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one’s need. Exodus 16:17-18

However, Moses also warned the Children of Israel that they were not supposed to leave any of the Bread/Manna till morning. But for those who did leave some until the morning, it bred worms and stank.

And Moses said, “Let no one leave any of it till morning.” Notwithstanding they did not heed Moses. But some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them. Exodus 16:19-20

The meaning is this: The Word is God is not supposed to be used in any other manner than what is Divinely intended. When used in ways other than divinely intended, “it bred worms and stank!”

Here is an example of the Word of God (Bread/Manna) being interpreted in a way that was not intended. It stinks like worms.

The Connection to CDBC. What is it?

“What is it” (Manna) makes an appearance again in Zechariah’s vision of a basket (Zechariah 5:5-11)

Let’s dissect the vision that Zechariah saw.

Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.” So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth. He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth” Zechariah 5:5-6

The word “Basket” (or “Ephah” if we read the KJV instead of NKJV) is used as a commercial tool of exchange. A unit to measure quantity. In other words, it is a “monetary system”. 

Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth. Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. Zechariah 5:7-9

Zechariah saw a basket and two women with the wings of a stork. The basket was lifted between earth and heaven. He saw a vision of a satellite without knowing what a satellite was. The satellite will enable a digital monetary system (basket) throughout the earth.

So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?” And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.” Zechariah 5:10-11

The basket will be used to build a house in the land of Shinar. I explained the Red Horse, the Land of Shinar and the rebuilding of Babel here:

2. The Red Horse: Rebuilding the Tower of Babel

Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork,

Finally, it is essential to understand the two women with wings like a stork. These two women will lift and exalt the monetary system throughout the earth.

Who are the two women? 

The two women refer to the two largest religions in the world. The monetary system will be exalted and endorsed by the two largest religions in the world. Previously enemies with each other, they will come together to unite and build a base in the Land of Confusion (Shinar). This is mirrored when Pilate and Herod became friends when they crucified the Truth (Jesus).

That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other. Luke 23:12

These two Religious Entities will use the Word of God in a way that was not divinely intended. It will breed worms and stink. The Angel said, “This is wickedness!”
