The mark of the Beast: The next step

 

By Craig Portwood

 

The very notion strikes the majority of humankind to be paranoid fantasy. That such was predicted in the Bible moves the faithless to denounce believers as superstitious fools. When the major media reports that the technology is already in place and being readied for use, the masses react with characteristic indifference.

 

Revelation 13:16-17:

 

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: 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.

 

The justification for laws designed to force Americans to be implanted with such a device as described in the Bible as “the mark of the beast” have been planted in popular news articles for years.

 

In addition to the idea that such devices would eliminate certain crimes such as currency theft, they have also been touted to make obsolete the latest widely reported crime of “identity theft,” which the news media has hysterically reported as becoming the number one crime in the world.

 

Such use is already being made of RFID chips already:

 

RFID: Radio Frequency Identification

 

The RFID chip is a tiny electronic device inserted under the skin of an individual that can be used for identification, data storage and tracking of all aspects on an individual's life.

 



No longer will mankind fear drug dealing and money laundering. With the advent of a fully traceable monetary system, such crimes will disappear in an instant – along with any semblance of individual privacy. Every aspect of human activity will become documentable. Government – which for thousands of years has striven to control every aspect of human endeavor, has reached its unrealized goal – to have the power of God over her people.


The first step towards the implementation of this grand scheme is hidden on pages 1002 – 1003 of the recently passed Health Care Bill. Under the heading “Subtitle C—National Medical Device Registry,” this bill calls for “a class II device that is implantable” to be issued to all who are covered by the plan.

 

To be certain, this legislation is at present, limited to a device intended for medical use only. It does not take a great leap of faith to imagine that such a device will be expanded in use to include financial utility for those who desire to force the mass of the people into global thralldom. The first order for these devices has already been placed. VeriChip corporation which already markets the microchip implants has acquired Steel Vault , a credit monitoring and anti-identity theft company.

Revelation 14:9-11:

 

>If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.


You can accuse this author of being paranoid. You can denounce him of harboring superstitious fantasy. You cannot however charge that he did not sound the warning.



Ezekiel 33:2-4:

 

Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

 

 


Ignore this warning at your own peril.
