Jubilee, Bitcoin, and the Quiet Revolt of Christian Dominion
God uses weak things to shame the strong. Even lines of code.
“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.”
— Proverbs 13:22 (LSB)
There’s a quiet revolt happening… and most Christians haven’t even noticed it.
Not the kind with flags and riots.
Not the kind that chases political power for its own sake.
This one is slower. Smarter. More subtle.
It’s a revolt of value, time, and sovereignty.
It’s called Bitcoin. And I believe it may be one of the most providential economic tools God has given this generation.
No, Bitcoin isn’t the Messiah. But it might just be a weapon in His hand.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if Satoshi Nakamoto was a Christian or a group of them. At minimum, I believe God used Satoshi the way He used Cyrus (Isa. 45:1): to tear down tyranny and deliver people into freedom they didn’t expect.
The World Runs on a cleaner version of Slavery
For generations, the rulers of this age have built systems not on value, but on control. They replaced money with fiat currency, government-declared paper backed by nothing but debt, fear, and manipulation.
Fiat punishes saving. It rewards spending. It bleeds value from your labor while enriching those closest to the printer.
Sound familiar?
“The borrower becomes the lender’s slave.”
— Proverbs 22:7
And it’s not just corrupt, it’s designed to enslave.
Jubilee: God’s Built-In Reset
In Leviticus 25, God gave Israel a 50-year rhythm called the Year of Jubilee:
Debts canceled
Land restored
Slaves released
Fields rested
It was economic sabbath. A hard reset to prevent generational oppression and corporate land grabs.
It was mercy written into law.
But there’s no strong evidence Israel ever practiced it. Why? Because, like now, the powerful resist anything that threatens their control.
Jesus Is Our Jubilee. God’s Just And Justifier
When Jesus stood in the synagogue and declared the prophecy fulfilled (Luke 4:18–21), He was announcing more than personal forgiveness.
He was saying:
“The Kingdom has come.
The captives will be freed.
The world will be restored—under Me.”
Christ didn’t abolish Jubilee, He embodied it. He fulfilled the spiritual reality while upholding the principles of justice embedded in God’s law.
His reign teaches nations how to live, including how to build honest economies that reflect heaven’s order.
Enter Bitcoin: The Economics of Limits
When Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin in 2009, the first block included this message:
“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
That wasn’t just a timestamp.
It was a declaration.
At the height of fiat corruption, a system with no central controller, no inflation, and no gatekeeping was released to the world.
Bitcoin is:
Deflationary
Decentralized
Permissionless
Fixed in supply (21 million)
Immune to state tampering
It acts more like biblical money than anything the modern world has produced.
Sound money. Honest scales.
“A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh,
but a just weight is His delight.”
— Proverbs 11:1
What If Satoshi Was a Christian?
No one knows who Satoshi is. But the ethics embedded in Bitcoin: limits on power, decentralization, personal responsibility, and truth in value, embody biblical dominion.
Whether Christian or not, it wouldn’t be the first time God used anonymous nobodies to rattle empires.
“But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise…”
— 1 Corinthians 1:27
Satoshi’s identity is less important than the result:
The world’s most dishonest money is being challenged by the world’s most honest code.
And the tyrants don’t know what to do about it.
My Kids Are Learning What Schools Won’t Teach
We gave our kids some Bitcoin, not to get rich, but to teach value. They started watching the price. Then they wanted to earn more. Not spend it. Earn it.
They talked to each other about it. Discussed it with their friends.
They saw their fiat cash fade with time and inflation.
They saw their sats hold and grow.
Cash became what you spend.
Bitcoin became what you keep.
When they tried to move Bitcoin out of their Cash App accounts and realized minors can’t send or receive—only buy and sell—now they’re learning: “If I can’t move it, do I really own it?”
We got them a hardware wallet.
Now they hold their own keys.
Now they own what they’ve earned.
That’s sovereignty.
That’s discipleship.
That’s dominion.
Don’t Miss What God Might Be Doing
No one thought fiat could be challenged. But lines of open-source code might be toppling it right now.
Praise God for His providence.
That’s Jubilee thinking.
“Of the increase of His government and of peace, there will be no end…”
— Isaiah 9:7
Bitcoin won’t save you. But it might serve you as you take dominion under Christ’s rule.
Because if it teaches men to reject debt slavery, build generational wealth, and think in decades—not pay periods—then it’s part of the King’s tools.
Christ is King.
Fiat is Pharaoh.
Raise free men.
Take dominion.
