For a few years now, I have read on several websites, of microchip implants being the 666 mark of the beast mentioned in the book of revelation. Recently, I saw a news report, of some people in Sweden I think, being given microchip implants to be used for finantial transactions. Does this mean it has begun? If so when will it be made compulsory? Maybe though, rather than it being made compulsory, it will simply be made impossible to make any transactions without the implants, (being unable to buy food etc). As a believer, I never want to receive the mark, but my wife and children are athiests or agnostics at the very least. I do not know whether or not that these implants are the mark, but if they are, I will never be able to convince people who I dearly love that this is the case. I do not know what to do about this, it truly troubles my heart. All I can hope for is either the implants are not actaually the mark, or when the time comes, everyone will become aware of what the implants are, so the right decision can be made. For now, all I can do, is pray. I would be grateful for advice on this.
if someone is ignorant a chip will not make them more ignorant, and if they are liberated then a chip will not enslave them
I've seen a clip about some company's employees in Sweden doing that several months ago. They welcomed the intrusive but convenient instrument. Just like the majority of people do with cell phones and other convenient gadgets always justified by highly self-serving highly biased "reasons"...
I don't think that microchips are mark of the beast. It could be a more secure version of a credit card because without you being there it's not possible to use/no number to copy. I think it a little sci-fi to have a microchip implanted in your skin to be honest.
Requirements for the mark of the beast: 1) A government or a man running it will require everyone to have one 2) It is the number of a man, or the name of antichrist, or the number of his name 3) It will be in the right hand or forehead 4) No man will be able to buy and sell without it The words "in the right hand or forehead are significant. "IN", rather than "ON". It should be noted that, the right hand is associated with the ability to have power, as in "to work" or "to get gain", to "make a profit", or "to get ahead". The forehead is associated with the mind, will, and emotions, or the soulish realm of man. It can also be associated with allegiance. Every government already has a number system for each man, woman, and child. Here in the United States it's called a Social Security Number, and it's printed on a card. In other countries it may be known as a national ID number, or universal ID number. These numbers can be used to track you anywhere on the planet, and from any participating nation on the planet, which would be nearly all of them. So far, only Sweden has such a "mark", or chip, IN the hand for identification purposes. Other nations are experimenting and developing such technology, which was first developed for use on animals. Hillary Clinton tried to force a national healthcare ID "smart card" on American citizens back in the early 90's when her husband was still in office. They also tried other ways to track and spy on citizens using "cllipper chip" technology for phones. Nobody wanted anything to do with that, either, and for good reason. It seems the average American citizen is far more intelligent and discerning than the self-important and entitled Mrs Clinton. The words "buy and sell" in Biblical terminology refer to the ability to run a business. For instance, in the Book of Acts, a woman named Lydia was "a buyer and seller of purple dyes". This is a clear indicator of engaging in business or commercial activities, since nobody buys something and then sells it without turning a profit, or gain. However, in modern times, we may in the future see a time where you literally can't even go the the store to buy anything or sell without using this "mark" and I would think that one should avoid being here if possible or, if not possible, being prepared for such a time as this. History, both distant and recent, tells me that very few take such preparation seriously, if at all. You have only to look at tornado and hurricane aftermaths to prove this. Those who are prepared don't rush stores in times of disaster.
It's a shame otherwise decent, sane people spend their time worrying about such crap. Revelation was written about conditions of persecution back at the time of Emperor Domitian, in highly symbolic, almost coded language, about things that had happened or were about to happen then, not in our future. Many believe the number “666” refers to Nero, whose name, written in Aramaic, can be expressed as 666, using the Hebrew numerology of gematria where each Hebrew letter corresponds to a number. Rumors were abundant at the time that Nero was still around and was plotting a return. (On the other hand, I think Jared Kushner still owns 666 Fifth Avenue. And didn't he just help to negotiate a peace agreement with Israel?) The Antichrist Makes Peace With Israel Why Many Speculate that Jared Kushner is the Antichrist - Page 2 of 2 - Truth And Action BTW, I don't believe this about poor Jared. Jared Kushner is not the Antichrist The late televangelist Jack Van Impe had Spanish King Juan Carlos I, improbably pegged as the Antichrist. Other candidates include Vladimir Putin, Prince William, Emanuel Macron and whatever Pope happens to be in office. Who is the antichrist? | GotQuestions.org Current Antichrist Candidates - UNSEALED - World News | Christian News | Prophecy Updates Until his recent demise, ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was high on the list. I think Christians who engage in such speculations have lost their way, and need to focus on the basics: Love of God and neighbor.
