Fiat currency, both in ancient times and today, is the Mark of the Beast mentioned in the Revelation of the Apostle John. Spiritual Babylon, which is also talked about in John's Revelation, is the overall fiat system, a kingdom built on lies and coercion, and reliant on high time preference.

"Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."

-Revelation 14:8

"Ye elders of Israel, come join now with me

And seek out the righteous, where’er they may be—

In desert, on mountain, on land, or on sea—

And bring them to Zion, the pure and the free.

O Babylon, O Babylon, we bid thee farewell;

We’re going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell.

The harvest is great, and the lab’rers are few;

But if we’re united, we all things can do.

We’ll gather the wheat from the midst of the tares

And bring them from bondage, from sorrows and snares.

O Babylon, O Babylon, we bid thee farewell;

We’re going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell.

We’ll go to the poor, like our Captain of old,

And visit the weary, the hungry, and cold;

We’ll cheer up their hearts with the news that He bore

And point them to Zion and life evermore.

O Babylon, O Babylon, we bid thee farewell;

We’re going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell."

-Cyrus H. Wheelock
