So; the world is ending on the 23rd. I know it ends every few years, but lets say they got it right this time. How will it go?

the whole reason for it is to set a new order in the world, a cashless banking system where every human being who does any kind of business or needs medical care or anything else will be forced to accept the mark to do it. Scare the crap out of the world and then use this system as a way to overcome terrorism, international drug dealer and the other things that the people who are creating the new order are doing behind the scenes to make it happen.
