Chapter 1: The Missed Vision of the Future

They Imagined the Beast, But Not the Bitcoin

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,

who put darkness for light and light for darkness.”

— Isaiah 5:20

🔍 1.1 The Prophets Were Right About Evil

The ancient writers — prophets, poets, seers — understood the nature of corruption well.

They saw how kings abused power, how empires demanded worship, how people were enslaved by debt, war, and lies.

They foresaw systems like:

• Babylon: a world power that conquered minds through culture and coin

• Rome: a violent state financed by inflation, crucifixion, and taxes

• The Beast: a symbol of control, deception, and surveillance

These weren’t just historical empires — they were archetypes of evil.

The Beast isn’t just coming.

The Beast is already here — wearing suits, printing money, issuing surveillance tokens, and calling it “progress.”
