Buzzfeed 'Mark of the Beast' Experiment
Unsealed.org ^ | 5/30/2016 | Gary

Posted on 05/30/2016 3:07:27 PM PDT by amessenger4god

Buzzfeed reporter Charlie Warzel, who claims inspiration from the biblical Mark of the Beast, has his hand implanted with a payment chip and lives for a month wallet and cash-free.  This report is beyond disturbing and shows how utterly debased the secular mind has grown in just the last few years.  Now, not only is this kind of thing not shied away from, but unbelievers are actually finding inspiration in Revelation 13:16-17 for what a cashless society should look like.


Here is his article, amazingly titled "Satan's Credit Card: What The Mark Of The Beast Taught Me About The Future Of Money".


Of all the technology we've witnessed come into fruition that bears striking resemblance to the Mark of the Beast, nothing comes close to this.  Here is the video of him having his hand implanted with a RFID chip and using Venmo technology to become the world's first person to pay with their hand:

I continue to be astonished, not only at the rapid movement towards the final fulfillment of this particular prophecy, but also at the readiness of the the world to accept it, even while knowing what God's Word says.

Refusing Christ to the end is the only way to garner one’s doom. The devil is always weaker than God and his marks can be overridden. It is an empirical question, not a question of principle.

4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:

5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

-- Deuteronomy 6


Question: "What are phylacteries?" (gotquestions.org)

Answer: Phylacteries, sometimes called tefillin, are small, square leather boxes containing portions of Scripture worn by Conservative and Orthodox Jews during prayer services. Phylacteries are worn in pairs—one phylactery is strapped on the left arm, and one is strapped to the forehead of Jewish men during weekday morning prayers. The word phylactery comes from a Greek word meaning “safeguard, protection, or amulet.”

The phylactery strapped to the arm is called the shel yad and has only one compartment; the one on the forehead, containing four compartments, is called the shel rosh. The letter shin (ש) is printed on either side of the head phylactery. Various rules govern the length and width of the connecting straps, the tying of the knots to secure the phylacteries, and the color of the boxes (black). Inside each phylactery are four passages from the Old Testament: Exodus 13:1–10, 11–16; Deuteronomy 6:4–9; 11:13–21. The verses must be written in black ink on parchment specially prepared for this purpose, using the skin of a clean animal. Other rules specify the type of writing instrument to be used, the number of printed lines devoted to each verse, the arrangement of the pieces of parchment within each compartment, etc...

I believe that what Revelation speaks of also has to do with what we do with our minds (our heads) and our hands (our actions), but it still sounds entirely possible that this will also involve an actual, physical and literal "mark of the Beast" somehow.

The fact that unbelievers are so flippant about this, and openly calling a chip "the mark of the Beast" (and embracing it) should tell us something, I believe.

The chip that is being used now likely isn't it, unless it becomes in widespread use as the Bible says. But a new technology could come along at any time. For instance, while a mark on the head sounds inconvenient for payment, I just heard that companies are using facial recognition technology over cell phones to securely verify purposes - in other words, selfies.

If you ignore the devastating signs of the times when the Beast mark rises, then you might poopoo the notion that it could and will happen on this planet.

From the start of the seventieth week of Daniel until the mid-point when the antichrist enters the Temple holy place and declares himself to be god, wars, earthquakes, pestilence, starvation, famine, and chaos will be sweeping the globe. underground cash will be useless to famine stricken peoples.

The question folks should be asking themselves is, 'When Jesus returns for those born from above, will I be among the escapees, before the abominations descend causing God to pour out His wrath on the unbelievers and those seeking to exterminate the Jews?'

I do not know exactly but I found it very disturbing that only non-citizens were to get the ‘mark of the beast’, and that is what Erdogan called the mark. It would be on the back of the hand and visible.

It will never take hold because so much of the illicit and underground economy relies on cash.

Maybe that is one of the reasons that is in perfect alignment with why it will be forced to happen...in an attempt to get rid of the underground economy.

You said it causes tumors. Sounds like Revelation 16:2, “sores”.

New King James Version (NKJV)

First Bowl: Loathsome Sores

2 So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.

I misquoted.

You can find ‘mark of the beast’ articles at the following:

Here are a few:

NEW DISCOVERY: The Antichrist Nation of Turkey Is Now Reviving The Mark Of The Beast (Former national emblem of the Ottoman Empire)
http://shoebat.com/2014/12/19/new-discovery-antichrist-nation-turkey-now-reviving-mark-beast/
The emblem is truly a puzzle which tells the Ottoman story including reason, intent, geographic hegemony and theological goals which after inquiring from Arabic sources gives more insight as to what John, Daniel and Ezekiel have predicted in the Bible.

Dog was lost for *two years* but found, thanks to his chip.

http://barkpost.com/good/dog-recognizes-his-human-after-two-years/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=im

This is just one of hundreds of stories of chips bringing dogs home, every year.

Those “scary studies” were done on mice, which have a different biology than dogs.

My dogs’ safe return *far* outweighs some theoretical, wholly unproven “cancer” link.

At this time, I have dogs who have been chipped for 3, 7, 9 and 10 years and they have utterly *no* sign of adverse effects, whatsoever.

In my area, dogs are commonly stolen for bait dogs and puppy mill breeding.

The “lucky ones”, who are discovered by puppy millers, to be neutered, are dumped *far* from where they were stolen and now there’s a state-wide network, utilizing their microchips, that help them get back home again.

Your vet was trying to help you and your dog, God forbid, it ever becomes lost.

I’ve owned many dogs over 50 years and never lost one. I’m a responsible pet owner. My two current dogs are chihuahuas, well trained and never leave my side. I have no need for that chip garbage and no dog of mine will ever have that inflicted on them.

Suit yourself.

There’s always a first time for everything and no one is perfect, no matter how hard they may try.

It only takes one second...

I hate to say but the sarcomas have been found in cats , dogs and horses . It isn’t just mice . There is a benefit of having the animal returned but there is a risk of tumor development if the chip migrates .
Not safe for children at all

To: Lera

The odds of the sarcomas are quite small, compared to the benefits and the ratio of those hypothetical tumors is tiny, compared to the number of chipped animals.

You only hear about the bad news, rarely the good, with anything.

I went through my own *years* of research and self-debate before I decided to use them.

It was not a decision made lightly.

Not sure I’d chip a kid because that seems a bit weird.

I sincerely hope you are always able to control every aspect/second of life and never encounter anything that is not totally predictable.
