Hmm...you know, I could swear I've read this whole article a long time ago before any chips ever existed...

Oh right, here it is:

"The Revelation of Saint John the Devine"
"13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

[Bigh4u2]

"or the number of his name."

I've always found this part fascinating, in relation to Social Security numbers.

Or the 'number' of your 'name'.

100 years ago this was laughed off by the Bible Skeptic as absurd and impossible, but tis not so far-fetched today, eh?

I've always heard it as "Revelation: The Revelation of Jesus Christ".

What version of the Bible are you using that's it is the Revelation of St. John the Divine? (I assume you mis-spelled Divine)?
