Will it predict your future?

Yes. It will predict where (i.e., how far) you will go. It will predict what food you will buy. It will predict what stores you will transact business in.

Worked for the fed gov for 31 years, back in the early 2000s the latest generation of ID card was issued that had a chip imbeded right on the card. A fingerprint scan was required to receive the card. Along with ss# and all other personal info about the card holder it even carried blood type......I was never really comfortable with any of that.

This is not the mark. Nothing is implanted. I agree it’s creepy and may be a step towards the mark but this is not it

I’m sure it will easily adapt to your battery operated car for purposes of controlling where, when, how far and most importantly IF you can go anywhere.

Let that sink in for a minute.

While I believe the "rapture" is the "first resurrection" "first resurrection." (1Jn. 3:2; Rm. 8:23; 1Co 15:53,54; 2Co. 2-4; Revelation 20:6) at the end of the tribulation, yet some of the old "rapture" movies in essence portrayed some of basic developments which current events are precursors of. From "Years of the Beast:"

YOTB-2

YOTB-6

That is wrong. They have all their salads for those low carb/keto losers. The one near me is always packed.

(“It’s optional”

Yeah, today it is.)

Yep

At first it’s an option.

Then it’s “highly suggested”.

Then it’s “recommended”.

Then it’s “mandatory “.

Then it’s “law”.

Think it can’t happen? (to everyone)

See COVID-19(84).
