The Last Days---Really?

Let's be honest. If you want to make a lot of money writing a book, the subject of the "last days" gives you an immediate audience. The more challenging the world becomes, the more books will come out.
I believe the last days started with Peter when he said they did in the Book of Acts.
I also believe there has been incredible abuse and manipulation of the believing community on this subject. It saddens me when people are led astray by those who take the news and twist it to fit their brand of Bible prophecy.
I am starting a series on the "Revelations" of John in August, but a news article caught my eye.

It seems the Chinese have said it again and again this year. I have observed many such requests in the past but with the country of China controlling our debt and the Euro gaining acceptance around the world, it begs the question, 'is there a Biblical sign about money in the last days? There seems to be a growing cry from the financial community for some kind of single money system. The volitility of the markets combined with a true world economy are pushing our leaders to consider this in a more serious way. Add that to the way the country is being run right now and you can see how Americans can be told this is the right thing to do.

Computor technology has made this system possible. What system am I talking about? Read the final verses of Revelation 13 because a controlled buy and sell method is stated. No one is going to be able to buy or sell without a mark. The Bible clearly states that one should not take this mark because of what and who it means.
If the only way for your family is to survive is to take this mark, would you? Or do you feel we will be raptured out before then? Or will there be exceptions to this? Or do you believe there is no way America will give up the dollar?
These sure are interesting days we live in.
