I question people assuming it has not already occurred, as some of Revelation may have been fulfilled in 70 A.d.

History repeats itself in cycles, each time the cycle gets worse than the one before it.

For a better description of the devices, see http://www.electronicidinc.com/eidback.html

I don't understand how they are good devices for identifying people. All you have to do in order to impersonate someone is kill them, locate their chip, remove it, and inject it into yourself. It doesn't look like there is any mechanism to self-destruct the device if it senses that it is being removed from the "original owner". It is also easy to locate, since it always responds to the scanner.

No, with this tiny tube implanted, the coming world leader could keep track of every person. You don't take his mark, you don't eat. The future looks very very bright if you believe in authoritarianism. Big Government becomes monster government. People lose on every front. Freedom will be limited, and everyone will be tracked night and day. Oh, its all for the good of the state, oh, ah, I mean, its for the good of all. Yes, thats right, its good for everyone if the government knows where you are. Cameras, chips, electronics in cars, wrist straps that teach your kids that everyone should be willing to let government track them. Its all ready to go. It will advance the power of the state, and will be the equvilent of having a government agent with you at all times watching your every move.

Like an Angel, aye? A digital Angel?

BUMP this article up!

OHhhhh, how can you quote the bible in a time like this! Why we are living in dangerous times! We need government to watch over us, take care of us, monitor our lives, track our movements, and when we buy or sell, an electronic trail must be kept so to end the underground economy, and force everyone to pay taxes, and besides, government has replaced God. God does not seem to care. He sits in Heaven and gives man too much liberty. Gifted government officials care more than he, or so it seems. Gifted government officials know what man needs, and these fine, outstanding officials have only your best interest at heart.

Repeat after me:

I Trust in Government!

I Trust in Government!

I Trust in Government!

I Trust in Government!

Now, don't you feel better already? Yes, yes, now you are getting right. Say it one more time....I trust in Government....Now, hold out your hand, and let us place your new identifier chip in your right hand......

No, its a Digital Agent.

But privacy advocates warn the chip could lead to encroachments on civil liberties.

The only appropriate response to this is "No-duh!"

No one's putting one of those things in me. I checked (just being curious) at "OpenSecrets.org and found out this company donated 100,000 to the DNC in November of 2000. Just thought that was interesting.

How is this much different than the identification cardkey that I use to get into work every day? I also try to smile and look good for the security cameras.

Your opinion?

I saw a couple of these guys on TV (O'Reilly, I think) not too long ago. According to them, these chips are already being marketed in Europe.

I seriously doubt that these are that "mark", but they are certainly a forerunner.

My guess is that these will have limited use for a while--I doubt they can hold enough information yet; and they certainly aren't secure....

As for selling them to companies, we have a very mobile workforce. The expense of having them implanted/removed (and the risk of possible lawsuits from infections, etc.) may make them cost prohibitive. I'm also curious to know how information would be added, deleted, and updated.

Between Christains being on guard for the mark of the beast, companies looking for ways to cut costs, and the greenies worrying about brain cancer from cell phones, I don't think they are going to find a big market in the immediate future.

Just my 2 cents :)

I gave a speech in College about smartcards and implants leading to this eventuality and the majority of the audience thought I was from the moon. That was in 1991. I spend 15 minutes on the absolute wonderous miracles that would come of this and then the last 5 minutes on a hypothetical if then Adolf Hitler became the President.

With a few keystrokes the Jewish population and all of his enemies (webmasters and press) would have been isolated.

I totally disagree with the "NEVER" someone wrote. I've heard that so many times it makes me sick. America has given up tons of its freedoms since 1991 and it'll give up a lot more.

We are only 50-60% of the country and when the media gets behind this they'll make every teenager in America think its gold. Hell -- you might not be able to play XBOX2 or PS3 without one. "DADDY! GET ME A CHIP! GET ME A CHIP!! MY FRIENDS HAVE CHIPS!"

And the DNC pushed for the national I.D. card, too, didn't they?

Well not very much was completed in 70 AD. Christ did not return. Damascus has never been a ruinous heap, nor was Israel dispersed and reborn in one day(as happened in 1948) Next up 'peace' in the ME. That should happen just before spring, either Ascension Day or Pentacost. Then it's up, up and away. I'm not running up a big Visa bill for nothing! Just kidding, but awesome to see God Almighty active and reverberating His Word through time immemorial.

Shalom,

"Sometime in the 23rd century...the survivors of war, overpopulation and pollution are living in a great domed city, sealed away from the forgotten world outside.

Here in an ecologically balanced world, mankind lives only for pleasure, freed by the servo-mechanisms which provide everything. There's just one catch. Life must end at thirty unless reborn in the fiery ritual of carousel."

Note that it's on the LEFT hand and recall that "Sanctuary" was in Washington, DC !!

AND, the DNC is the politically correct religion of "tolerate all sin."
The prophacy is unfolding right before our eyes.
Others always said" The world is comming to an end", but Isreal had not regained it's nation. This time it has.
We have the religion of sin, the mark, now we watch for the man.
