    So what if someone takes the "mark", whatever it is, and they think it's great for safety and that it will keep their children safe. What happens to those children who's parents put the mark on them? Are they damned? What happens to the people who take the mark and they just think it's to protect them?
    I think that when the mark actually does appear, it will be something forced. Like you take it or you die, and maybe the general public will know that it's a bad thing to do. I don't know, I'd like to think God is fair, so why would he send people to hell for taking something they didn't know was bad?

    Peace and Love

    I find it interesting how you disregarded it being an issue in this post, yet, admitted your fear in the other.

    If you honestly believe that credit card companies have more of a low down on us that GPS will, then I suggest you do more research on Global Positioning Satellite. Last time I checked, credit card companies cannot pinpoint the exact location of your body (though certain companies are looking towards that direction). If you look at the study conducted on the doctor who was the first to implant the chip in his arm, you will find that they were able to locate and each and every move he made in New York city. Case in point, RFID is a tracking device that will be used against us.

    Yes, many people will welcome the concept with open arms, completely unaware of what they are setting themselves up for.

    A friend of mine had a hard time trying to find someone to take out a tracking chip her dog had received. The veterinarian flat out refused to remove it due to the fact that it is a useful tool in tracking lost pets. Once they implant a chip inside of your body for the same reason, they are not going to remove it.

    even outside of basic freakiness of The Mark, that's just a HUGE loss of personal freedom and privacy.

    i'm not sure if getting a chip installed in you for credit purposes would damn your soul.... i think it will be a very consious decision... that you are choosing to deny God and accept the anti-christ.

    It will be a conscious decision when it is enforced.


    I am glad that so many of you are opposed to the idea, faith or not. However, this is merely the beginning. Once these tracking devices are enforced it will revise the consummer world. Just as the implant chips are being used in bars for cashless transactions, soon, these tracking devices will replace cash, credit cards, and other forms of payment. No longer will you be able to walk into a grocery store, a gas station, or anywhere else with money. Unless you hold this code under your skin, service shall be refused to you.

    Back when Bill Clinton was in office, Hillary and himself had drawn up a health care plan. This plan included a system in which assistance for your medical emergencies were discussed and decided by a team of experts and care was provided based on whether or not they felt you qualified (thankfully, a refusal came for this to be passed). Reminicent of this plan, once the chip is government enforced, hospitals will have the right to refuse you care unless you possess one.

    That sounds so creepily awesome: "God hatches creepy plot to place subcutaneous chips in humans to control the purchase of goods." Only true believers will have enough faith to get the chips, everyone else will be afraid of the boogeyman.

    Never fear, if you are a sinner, sooner or later you will have these chips implanted without your knowledge through an alien anal probe. The new religion of the future that will save your soul will involve a lot of exlax and a colonic

    The question about children in third world countries is good as the answer relates to one world government. My views on children and the will of God differ from God's judgement on mankind. My intention for making this thread is to be informative of the implant.

    Digital Angel delivers 50k bio-thermo RFID chips to UK

    Digital Angel Corporation has announced that it has delivered 50,000 Bio- Thermo implantable RFID chips to its distributor in the United Kingdom. The company also announced that it plans to offer Bio- Thermo for U.S. distribution. The Bio-Thermo Chip is the first of its kind in implantable RFID technology. It is the first temperature sensing implantable chip for the pet (dog and cat) world. We believe that this technology will lead the industry to a next generation identification chip said Kevin McGrath, CEO of Digital Angel Corporation.



    Scientists aim to barcode all life on Earth

    A team of international scientists has launched a project to genetically identify, or provide a barcode for, every plant and animal species on the planet. , The researchers plan to build a database by taking a snippet of DNA from all the known species on Earth and linking them to photographs, descriptions and scientific information.

    There is also a report from MSNBC news on it here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6940685/

    I don't think RFID in badges for school children is scary. I didn't admit fear, I admitted to it's potential for abuse. I said that the gov't could take this in some pretty scary places. Attendance for schoolchildren is not one of them.

    wtf. do you know anything about the use of numbers in the ancient world, they also stand for letters and names. 666 is also the name NERO. nero was a roman emperor who instituted much of the persecution of christians in the early church.

    You don't have to believe if you wish not to, however, all one needs to do is open a newspaper, turn on their television, or type in a query to see the plan that I have been speaking of over the past seven months beginning to come together. You can read about implant chips, RFID, GPS technology and National ID cards pretty much everywhere at the moment. RFID tags are being implemented in schools as we speak.

    Interesting how 2,000 years ago this type of technology was prophecized.

    I must admit that I myself am a little shocked at how fast it has been taking place. When I made this post back in july I was unaware that the RFID technology and National Id card that I had read about a year earlier were going to spread as rapidly as they have.

    Personally, I prefer to interpret the Bible (Revelation in particular) using a proper hermeneutic and careful exegesis, not using USAToday or the Washington Post. All this fuss about a microchip just seems overrated. Is it a safety concern? Yes. Privacy? Most definitely. The fabled "Mark of the Beast"? Not likely. Why not? Because there is no way that a person in the first century (when the book was written) would have ANY understanding. But, if you interpret Revelation with a cultural viewpoint in mind you wouuld see that in that culture, the head symbolized thought while the hand symbolized action. So, a mark on the head and hand would simply mean that you can tell Christians and non-Christians apart from others because of their thoughts and actions. This is consistent with the whole of scripture.

    Just an aside, Revelation also states that Christians shall be marked on the forhead, is that going to be some kind of microchip or tatoo or something too? Or is that to be taken non-literally (while the mark of the beast must be literal)?

    Where is this technology predicted in such a fashion that the same prophecy could not also apply to the events of 70 AD. Also note how the same book says that the battle around Jerusalem will be fought on horseback. Where is all the technology predicted then?
