RFiD chips. Question for Christians?

Question

One of my friends came to me and told me that there is a possibility that, in the future, Americans could possibly be forced to take a microchip. He asked me if it is possible that this could be what revelations refers to as the "mark of the beast."

I wanted to say no. However this item seems like it could be used as a system of control.

I know that none of us know what the bible meant by this, but was it wrong for me not to give a conclusive answer?

I have pesonally never looked into this but it doesn't seem like something that is impossible.

Answer 1

This would never be allowed in our society, in our lifetime anyway. If it did happen, it would be a personal decision.
The Book of Revelations was written in code, describing the evilness of Rome, and it's downfall. It was written as such so the Romans couldn't understand it, saving the writer and the Isrealites from persecution. Example....the seven heads represent the seven major hills around Rome, etc....It is not about the end of the world as a whole. It strictly pertains to the time period just after Christ.
The chips will stay in the animals for tracking purposes.

Answer 2

Think of the implications of such a chip:

You know exactly where a person is at all times. An automated drone (like the ones we use in Afghanistan) could be set up to kill you at any time. If anyone with a knowledge of computers found out what your ID # was, they could immediately tell if you were in whatever areas they were capable of monitoring. The extent to which you could exploit this is unfathomable. This is definitely an evil device, though not necessarily the mark of the beast.

Of course, it would take a massive paradigm shift for the American public to ever accept such a chip, even those who are not Christian. I can only think of one thing capable of causing such a change, and that would be continued attacks on the home front.

It's also interesting to note that the checksums on a barcode roughly equate to 666. A six in barcode language is thin line, thin space, thin line, and the only way that the checksum differentiates from this is that there isn't quite as much space after the checksums as there is after a regular six.

Furthermore, computers use checksums to make sure that all of the bits (the 1's and 0's) come through correctly when transferring information. This could be a potential source of the 666 in the future.

RFID will never be put into people to identify them; technology has progressed too far beyond this. Instead we will use existing techniques such as facial recognition and retinal scans, which can be done from cameras which can scan crowds. This was done at the Super Bowl.

Recognition software can take feeds from traffic & crime cameras, security cameras, and even cameras in ATMs to automatically track and log a person's movements.

When bar codes came out people thought that they were the "Mark of the Beast". Now no one seems to care where bar codes are. It's all about being comfortable with evolution.

Answer 4

It is somthing that is Definitly in the works for the usa people . And Canada as well. I have heard interviews on a radio show called "coast to coast am" which gives news and talks about things that the public is usually not told. they have a website if you want to listen to there show. www.coasttocoastam.com

Anyhow on the show, they have had numerous people speak about how those chips are already being tested in volunteers. And that the government shall bring it into the public by using this war. To have "safer security". It shall be forced upon us by eventually haveing us not be allowed to purchase anything from any store without these chips in us to be scanned .

Personally I shall Never accept these chips, and i Encourage others to Never either. For I have no Doubt that They ARE the mark of the Beast.

And I m not even religious ! I don t follow any religion.

Answer 5

Well in my Beliefs even if it is true A life is not a robot. A life is not a computer. A life is not tecnoligy. I refuse the chip in me not now not ever. If they put one in me against my will. I will take something sharp and Chop it out of me. I will will not be chiped I will not be controlled I will not be computerized. I refuse to have the devils mark inside of me. I will not allow myself to be scanned like an item. Not now not ever. I choose death over Chip I will actually go as far as to comit sewaside just to prove my point. i wont be chiped not now not ever. And I dont trust the government cause cause the government works for hell. They can kill me But they cant chip me becausevI refuse to allow my self to live with computer parts inside of me

Answer 6

Yes, microchips implanted under the skin is already becoming a reality for identification purposes but no one can really say that this is the "mark" that is referred to in the book of Revelations. I have heard some TV type ministers say that this is the fulfillment of prophecy but as I said, no one, not even them can know for sure. The anti-Christ will have a method to be able to identify all of the people living under him during the tribulation years. The Bible states that clearly. However, it does not specify the method other than the symbol of 666 on hand or forehead. Could that somehow represent the number sequence on a microchip? Sure.

I think the best answer to give someone who asks about something relating to the tribulation or the second coming of Christ is simply to ask them to read the Bible for themselves. Be prepared to give them Chapter and Verse or at least let them know how to find it in the concordance. This, like many things in the word of God are subject to each individuals interpretation or perception. Your feelings of inadequacy in this matter could simply be God's way to get you to spend more time in His word. We all need to (including me). Hope this helps.

Answer 7

That RFID might just be the new ID system but when something partners us to an evil regime we know is not right, that would be it. But I'm hoping we get raptured b4 if not it's going to be quite a challenge to refuse it. We will have to remember what the reward is.

Answer 8

confident, those chips are.to be released next month i think. its brainwash, you are able to the two get it on your arm or brow the place via fact the devil.markings have been placed. It says interior the Bible that without this making you're no longer in a position to yet or sell issues, without the chip you're to no longer have the skill to purchase. I an uncertain in the event that they're going to make a regulation that we are required to have it out we are in a position to easily get it each time we want.

Answer 9

Let me ask you something and I want you to think about this...

Let's just say if you are not married, that you are married. You are off at work one day and you come home. There's your lovely bride sitting in the living room crying her eyes out. You go to her and she looks up at you. Somebody has taken a Sharpie and written "Property of Bill Clinton" or "Property of Ted Kennedy" on her forehead or hand.

What would you do? Would you say, "YOU TRAMP!!! How dare you sit here in our home and cry your fake crocodile tears!!!"

You go out and find that person and put a knot on his head if not worse. Someone putting something in or on their forehead or hand isn't going to upset God...

Now imagine the same scenario. She's in the bedroom with a picture of another man and just drooling all over it saying how wonderful he is...

Would this upet you? I'm pretty sure it would. It would show your bride is infatuated with someone else after you've done so much for her.

Answer 10

I don't know if it is the Mark of the Beast, but either way, there is no way I'm allowing anyone to put one of those things in me. It's completely Big Brother, and unconstitutional. It's an invasion of privacy to have a GPS locator in my body. Plus, they want to start putting all of your medical and credit info on the chips. That is just asking for trouble. If your money is on a chip in your hand, how long until thieves hide chip readers in malls, or muggers just remove your hand to get to the chip?
