I distinctly recall the part of the Bible that says they will have to have the mark of the beast to buy and sell, but I don’t remember the part about needing the mark to get a colonoscopy.
I’m just sayin’ . . .
I think the connection is that everything you buy/sell in some ways affects your health. Therefore, you would have to be scanned to buy potato chips, ice cream, hamburger, etc. That's just my guess.
Just like debit cards over the years have made people comfortable with not using cash, I believe this pre-MOTB chip will get people accustomed to simply being scanned for their medical information instead of having to have paper records that can get lost or fall into the wrong hands.
This chip will be presented to people as something that will benefit them and help them, not as a mechanism for control or a way to get the prepped for the real mark that is on the horizon. And millions of Americans will love the idea of it.
The connection is this. Who’s in control of ensuring everybody has insurance? The IRS!
What else does the IRS monitor? The ammount of money you make and what you sell.
The IRS is itself a beast, and it’s still growing.
One could argue that medical care is buying and selling, think about it, it would be easy to use the ‘chip’ to pay co-pays, pharmacy bills, then add other economic ‘benefits’ for ‘convienice’ like debit card/credit card info.
It could easily springboard into buying and selling.
I’m just saying...
