(Rev 13:17 KJV) 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.
(Rev 13:18 KJV) Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
The technology is here, and the frog is being slowly boiled.
Those who say we should abandon our social concerns this election and concentrate on terrorism, do not know who God is, or the Holiness of God.
These signs coming to pass are our last warnings of our generation. We can expect things to snowball soon.
(2 Th 2:5 KJV) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
(2 Th 2:6 KJV) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
(2 Th 2:7 KJV) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
(2 Th 2:8 KJV) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
(2 Th 2:9 KJV) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
(2 Th 2:10 KJV) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
(2 Th 2:11 KJV) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
(2 Th 2:12 KJV) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Some girl in FL cut hers off and stuck it on a cat.......
Are you serious? We shouldn't keep track of sexual molesters?
These people would be dead, if it were left up to me. But, if they must live, then knowing where they are, every minute of every day, is imperative.
What does keeping track of this dirt have to do with the war on terrorism?
You just failed to make a serious connection between the emerging technology, and how it will be eventually used.
No one here, especially me, said using it to track murderers/rapists/child molesters was wrong.
But that is not what the verse I posted said, was it?
Cant you for once stay on Topic, sink?
You post an article about tracking sexual molesters, and that's not the topic?
Tracking ex-criminals ought to be part of the sentence. Know where these cretins are, all the time.
The rest of your speculation is tin-foil stuff.
Within 5 years we will all have to make the decision concerning inplanted ID'S. Last week on the Today Show they were promoting the use of these tracking *astards. Saying, "People use inplanted pacemakers so what is wrong with chips." Basically mocking Christians in general. Ugly. Here is a good site concerning the NWO. http://nobsnews.org
The technology already exists.
This is going to be a fun thread to watch.
Could it be this?

What is that? It looks like a kneepad!
More likely this:
Let us also not get too involved into conspiracy theories, but also remember our end, God, and not worry of these worldly matters, but ever dwell in the City of God, as St. Augustan writes. Then all fear of worldly matters dwindle away, and our Soul's health becomes our main concern.
No wonder the Church Fathers did not want to include Revelations in the New Testament canon. If not understood by laymen it can be dangerous.
I don't think this is the mark of the beast. This is not something to be afraid of, in fact, it might be a good thing.
No, I dont think it is THE mark, either, I post these to show as a society we are becoming more and more ready to accept a chip or mark that government will control us by.
And that is what the mark is, a mark that the govt will control us by, whether we be criminal or citizen.
Next time, read the headline and think a little.
Attorney general has microchip fitted

Jul 13, 2004
Mexico's attorney general said he had had a microchip inserted under the skin of one of his arms to give him access to a new crime database and also enable him to be traced if he is ever abducted.
Attorney General Rafael Macedo said a number of his staff had also been fitted with chips which will give them exclusive and secure access to a national, computerized database for crime investigators that went live.
"It's an area of high security, it's necessary that we have access to this, through a chip, which what's more is unremovable," Macedo told reporters.
"The system is here and I already have it. It's solely for access, for safety and so that I can be located at any moment wherever I am," he said, admitting the chip hurt "a little".
The chips would enable the wearer to be found anywhere inside Mexico, in the event of an assault or kidnapping, said Macedo.
And kidnapping is a huge problem here. From 1992 to 2002, Mexico saw some 15,000 kidnappings, second only to war-torn Colombia, according to the Inter-American Development Bank.
Crime-fighting is a dangerous business in Mexico, where police are notoriously corrupt and where political figures and investigative journalists sometimes risk assassination.
Mexico has seen a surge in violent crime recently, with an onslaught of headlines about murders and kidnappings prompting Fox to pledge in a national broadcast to crack down on crime.
In June a quarter of a million people protested the government's failure to combat crime.
