I have heard the micro chip could be implemented by May of 2008, do you think that has anything to do with the prophesy in Revelations? What say you, Christians?

Don't be deceived by the beliefs of some religious movement telling lies to people about the microchip being the mark of the beast mentioned in the book of Revelations.
It's wrong. It's not true.
The Book of Revelations speak of things which are related to spiritual things and religious things.
It doesn't speak of politics of this world nor the economy of this world.
It's central theme is concentrated on religious matters.
It doesn't have to do with macrochip or micro chips.

I think it could be a microchip, but not the one in your report. I say this because the Marks' institution and control will be injected into the mainstream by the Antichrist. Since he doesn't come on the scene until AFTER the Rapture, and since we live in a "pseudo peace" during the first half of the Tribulation as the Antichrist goes about solving world problems and trying to convince us he's God, I would say that the Mark he will use will not appear on the scene until 3.5 years or so AFTER the Rapture occurs. That way, programs such as the one in your report will have time to become "fully integrated" and readily acceptable to unsuspecting legions of people seeking financial security from identity fraud and etc., not realizing that when they buy in and sign up, they're signing over more than control over their finances, for to accept this Mark is to accept the role' of the Antichrist lock, stock, and barrel, his policies and RELIGION as well."

I think that every generation has a new explanation for what EVERYTHING in Revelation is. In the 70s, it was a barcode. Now it is a microchip. Not to mention everytime an epidemic or pandemic occurs, people think it is the end times. Same with every major storm, etc. And so on. If you think about it, our social security numbers fit the description, and I don't see anyone refusing those.
I think that if God wanted us to refuse microchips, he would have made it a little more clear.

you know back when the U.S. government started riquiring every one to get a SSN in 1935 the same thing was said about it. the magnetic strip on your drivers licences and your credit cards are no different than the chip.everytime something new comes along in identification the idea of it being the mark of the beast is brought up.as far as i can see there is only one religion on earth that is demanding that you convert or die on the edge of their swords and they have shown themselves by actualy beheading people who don't convert thats what you should be worried about not some IDF chip.

I have a paper on Following The Way on this.
I think a chip will probably be important, but I believe in a physical mark, since it will be war, and if electronic devices aren't working, there will need to be an easy identification system.

The issue in the last days will be a matter of who we will worship and who is our Master. This will all come down to whether we will keep the laws of men or of God. The sign of loyalty to God is to keep His commandments. The seal of God is found in the 4th commandment. (Ex. 20:8-11) Any seal contains name (Lord thy God) authority (Creator) and territory (heaven and earth). (also Rev. 14:7,12) Rev. 7:3 says that God's people will be "sealed in their foreheads" and that the winds will not blow (end of the earth coming) until they are. Sealed in foreheads is what you believe. There are only 2 choices....God the Creator of all or the Beast.
The beast represents a king or ruling power. (Dan 7:17) The lion, bear, leopard and dragon represents Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. (Dan. 7:1-9) The dragon or Pagan Rome gives this new power its authority. (Rev.13:2)
The beast power speakes blasphemy. (Rev.13:5) If any human being claims he has the power to forgive sins, he commits blasphemy. (Lk. 5:21) The Bible defines blasphemy as man making himself equal with God. (Jn. 10:33) The pope has claimed to be God on earth. The number of the beast is 666 which is the number of a man. The popes title of "Vicarius Filii Dei" when added up is 666.
Rev. 13: 13-17 says that a false standard of truth will be exalted and the central issue will be obedience to God and true versus false worship. An economic boycott, then a death decree will be passed. Rev. 14:7 calls us to true worhip of the Creator on the Sabbath according to the commandments.
Rev. 14:9-11 tells us to avoid the counterfeit Sabbath on Sunday. (the mark of the beast- which is this belief) Rev. 14:12 Says to keep God's commandments as a sign of loyalty to Him.
The Catholic church claims that it changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.

I think all that is crap but if it was real I would say "taking the mark" is a spiritual thing not a technological one

I think it's possible.....they do microchips in dogs now to keep track of them. I don't think it would be as early as next year.... but we shall see.
