Do you believe Microchips are the mark of the beast recorded in the book of Revelation 13:16

[Destinys Prince]

There are many now being deceived into taking a microchip or an RFID Chip underneath their skin in order to buy or sell..Do you think it is the actual mark of the Beast in which the word of God has condemned those who receive it? Watch this video and let's discuss it...

Wow, I had no idea folks were doing this outside of the lab. I've had a few years of experience on the tech side with them, and no, I really doubt implantables will make much progress in the commerce sector. Currently, they are in credit cards, gas company key rings, a lot of consumer packaging, and in the future will likely be in passposts and drivers licenses. I've been out of the arena for 2-3 years, so I dont keep track, but they were supposed to be integrated as part of real ID, as an anti terrorism measure through Dept of Homeland Security, but that got pulled last I heard.

The problem is passive RFID is quite easy to hack, active RFID less so, but implantables cannot be active, short of some type of yet to be developed power source. The end result, attempts at commerce or anti-terrorism using passive RFID is likely to be pretty short lived. Ie once a major compromise occurs, the technology will be back burnered real fast. Now, in things like passports, drivers licenses, or high risk activities such as CANPASS , the developers could shorten the lifespan. Ie, make them good for 3 months, and then a new version must be issued to combat the security risk. With an implantable, surgery every time a security risk shows up, or even yearly just isn't going to fly, and that's apart from the cost.

Here is my opinion, and this could change... my opinion is in light of current observations...

I think that it is likely that in response to growing economic hardships that Christians - and others- may unite in communities to survive. People in communities will likely tend to exchange services and goods. This is never good for government who likes to get a good share in any exchange... the trend of government seems to not only be to get their share, but get their lion's share. So, I think the actual mark, when imposed will be a way to destroy the communities, get into the money steam, make people dependent on 'the system' and finally -and most importantly- be a statement of allegience to a person that the world looks at as a 'really good guy' and Christians look at as the AntiChrist.

You would have to only live in America and NEVER have traveled outside of America or Canada, to believe that a microchip is the "Mark of the Beast." Plus, you would have to completely disregard the Greek concordances. They don't have flushing toliets, even in Mexico, and Mexico has a lot more GDP per capita spending than MOST countries!!

The word mark comes from the Greek words Charagma #5480. charagma (khar'-ag-mah) 5481 stamp, mark a scratch or etching, Stamp as a badge of servitude, or scupltured figure ie: statue -- graven, mark

The word recieve comes from the Greek word #2983 lambano (lam-ban'-o) 2984 to take, receive ; A prolonged form of a primary verb, which is use only as an alternate in certain tenses; to take with hand lay hold of, any person or thing in order to use it, to take up a thing to be carried

The word "IN" is ONLY used in a FEW Scriptures and NOT the Greek text!!!!

The word in comes from the Greek word epi #1909 which means 1) upon, on, at, by, before
2) of position, on, at, by, over, against 3) to, over, on, at, across, against NOT IN!!!!!

It should be clear that there is no specification that the mark actually enters the flesh of the hand, furthermore the use of lambano should lead one to think the mark i.e. the badge of servitude can simply be taken by the hand.

The word forehead comes from the Greek word #3359 metopon, forehead; the face; the forehead; as opposite the countenance of meta origin #3326 with, after, behind denoting accompaniment; "amid" (local or causal).

Rev 14: 9 the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark on (in) his forehead, or (on) in his hand,

In Greek: (Rev 14:9) Kai allos angelos tritos eekoloutheesen autois legoon en foonee megalee, Ei tis proskunei to theerion kai teen eikona autou kai lambanei charagma epi tou metoopou autou ee epi teen cheira autou,

As we see in Rev. 14:9 If anyone worships the beast and his image (could be anything related to the Beast/Islam-Allah) and chooses to get a badge stating that he is of the Beasts', near the head, given by hand.

Rev 14: 11 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.

In Greek "name" here is "onoma" which means: Strong's Greek #8606 :name is used for everything which the name covers

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. (Rev 13: 16-17)

"Number" means "multitude". "Arithmos" Strong's #706 : an indefinate number in this case.

We find "that no" is translated from "hina me" #3363 which is "lest" ; "that ... no"

The word "Man" which is translated from 'tis'. 'Tis' is actually defined "1) a certain, a certain one 2) some, some time, a while" So, the words actually read 'hine mee tis' (That not 'some' or 'certain man').

'Might' It is translated from 'dunamai' #1410 which is: 1) to be able, to have power whether by virtue of one's own ability and resources, or of a state of mind, or through favourable circumstances, or by permission of law or custom. 2) to be able to do something 3) to be capable, strong and powerful

Sherri, You certainly have done your homework!! Now that we have studied the "Mark" of the Beast. Have you also done your homework on "Who" could be the Antichrist? Here is you assignment. Go to www.prophecyhouse.com and let me know your thoughts! I love it when Christians show they are right in tune with Bible Prophecies and how some of them are unfolding right before our eyes... Blessings and wisdom to you..

[Sheri]

I have spent tens of thousands of hours researching this, and it never Ends. I basically write my own books on my research, charging not a dime. I know who the Antichrist is... It is Barack Hussein Obama, who is also Islam's awaited Messiah. He is not the incarnation of Satan (Beast of The EARTH/Antichrist {Rev. 13; Dan. 7}) yet, as that happens mid-Tribulation, 5th Trumpet {Rev. 9}. He is only the red beast rising to power, controlled by the nation "Mystery Babylon" {Rev.17}. He won't be given the kingdom of the "Antichrist {Psalms 83; Ezk 30; Dan 7; Rev 13} Until Babylon is destroyed {Rev 17} at the beginning of the Great tribulation {Rev 14}.

The "beast of the sea" in Revelation 13 is actually the final installation of the Islamic Empire, the "beast of the sea" as learned in Daniel 7:7. We see all of the other 4 empires, "beasts," listed in Rev. 13, except for the forth beast, Islam, so it is safe to say, that this beast is an extension of Islam, which conquered all lands of previous empires..

Leopard- Greece
Bear Medo-Persia
Lion- Babylon

The kingdom of the Beast will be a part of all 3 of these mentioned Empires. {Rev 17} In the city of Babylon, a deal is brokered in exchange for her destruction, the Antichrist then will be given 10 nations to rule over, which the bible tells us will be a part of all of the Empires mentioned in Daniel Chapter 7 confirmed in Rev 13: the Babylon Empire, Medo-Persian Empire, Greecian Empire. The only countries which were conrolled by all Empires are all Muslim countries. Iraq (Babylon), Iran (Elam), Syria (Damascus), Turkey (Gomer, Tibal), Lebanon (Tyre), Jordon (Moab, Ammon, Edom), Palestine (West Bank), Kuwaitt (Helam).... We see that Lybia (Put) and Ethiopia (Sudan) join forces with the Antichrist {Eze 30}.

"THIS GENERATION shall not pass"... Not future generations... THIS ONE since 1947. If you notice all of the countries mentioned in the bible at the End Times, they are all required to carry ID's with their religion on them!! America (Babylon) will NOT be around, {Rev 14} it falls at the beginning of the Great Tribulation.... so all of the western civilization will crumble and fall to Islamic Shariah Law/Financng...WHICH REQUIRES AN ID (Badge of Servitude) STATING YOUR RELIGION ALREADY!!!! ID's fit the Greek Concordance of the Mark of The Beast... Implanted RFID Chips do not....

The Verichip RFID chip technology has been around for awhile. It has many applications as was outlined in the video. Potentially it can help to keep track of people like children or prisoners, but also it can evade privacy and carry credit information. It was approved by the FDA for implantation in humans in 2004 http://www.communati.com/steve-lee/think-wall-street/ Such technology could also be used for nefarious purposes. It could conceivably become the mark of the beast when a person cannot buy (or sell) anything without one. Well, legally anyway...there's always barter and the black market. So far, the chip is not associated with a state religion. I can forsee a time when Islam re-establishes the caliphate and chips the umma (followers) and dhimmi (allowed non-Muslims) alike. Then it would be an implanted chip that is associated with a religion. So far, that has not happened.

[Destinys Prince]

Sheri, I have just a few questions regarding "Who" the Antichrist may be... Who has already requested to be "King"over Europe? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Whose name scripturally calculates to 666 in English and Hebrew? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Who will use the United Nations to control the World? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Who claims descent from Jesus and Mary Magdalene, Mohammad, and King David of Israel? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Whose Heraldic achievement literally bears the satanic imagery-the "calling card" of the Antichrist? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Whose powerbase is behind the New World Order? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Who has authority over Freemasonry and the Illuminati worldwide? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Whose power, thrown, and "Great Authority" literially derives from the Red Dragon or Satan? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Who steers the envirmental ethics and business agendas of the world's most powerful multinational corporations? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Who initiates the United Nations' Global Security Programme, and who has partnered with the world bank and the United Nations? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Who is really behind the Mideast "Peace Process" as prophesied in Daniel 9:27? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Who has already taken a traceable Bio-chip Implant along with His two Children? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of Wales? Now Who appears to be the first real candidate ever both scripturally and physically ever to fill the role of the Prophesied Antichrist? Barack Obama or Prince Charles of wales? According to a few Muslim sources on the internet, the Prince has undergone the ceremonies necessary to "become a Muslim by the name of "Abdus-Salem Hafidh as-Deen, " which means "The Guardian of Faith' (All faiths) Perhaps due to its similarity to the title "Defender of the Faith" held by Queen Elizabeth II as the "head" of the Church of England, this title has prompted speculation among Muslims that Prince Charles intends to "become the leader of the Muslims." Sheri, Blessings and back to the books it seems..

[Tikkie]

We cannot be sure.it could or could not be the sign of the beast.We can only Pray to GOD to Guide us and follow the right path

[Destinys Prince]

Revelation speaks of only two beasts which is the Antichrist and the false Prophet..The Mark is Satan pledge of Ownership to Him...Those who receive it belongs 100% to Him..

[Destinys Prince]

Brother Rob, The Spirit of Antichrist works the work of disobedience in those who belong to Satan as the Holy Spirit works the work of righteousness in the Children of God.. With each passing day true Christians are becoming more and more in the very likeness and image of God their Father in heaven as the Children of Satan with each passing day are becoming more and more in the image and likeness of Satan being depressed, oppressed, and possessed of demons. This is why Jesus has give us Power over demons to cast them out of those whom God has called unto His coming kingdom..

[Sheri]

There are 3 Beasts in Revelation. The Red Beast, which is the man who first rises to power in Babylon, whom will become incarnated with Satan himself, AFTER the destruction of Babylon and before the "Mark" is implimented {Rev 14} and before he is given 10 nations to rule over. {Rev 17}.... The Beast from the Sea {Rev 13 & Dan 7} which is the Religious Empire of the "Antichrist" (ISLAM) and then there is The Beast of The Earth, which is The False Prophet or "The Antichrist", who is also the Red Beast (Leader of "MYSTERY BABYLON") now incarnated by Satan!!

Rev 1-2 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him {The Beast} his power, and his seat, and great authority.

{This describes the empires already of past listed in Daniel 7. This is where the 10 countries will fit in to all 3 of theses empires. Babylonian -Lion; Medo Persian- Bear ; Grecian- Leopard....All ten nations [horns] are Islamic countries, which fit into the 3 empires and are backed up in Psalms 83& Ezekiel 30}

About the Beast of the Sea:
Rev 13:5 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him {The Beast} to continue forty and two months.

Revelation 11 Tells Us what this Beast of the Sea is!!!

Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles [Mulims/non-Jewish]: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. The Muslims have the Dome of Rock which will be left there when the Third Holy Temple is Built.

GOD IS AMAZING!!! John and Ezekiel saw that the courtyard had the blasphemous Islamic Dome of Rock. So upon building the third temple the south courtyard is left out!!!!! So who is there??? Muslims are!! Islam is!!! It is NOT going away until Christ returns!!

As we read in Ezekiel about building the third Holy Temple....
40:19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.

This all fits Dan, Ezek, Rev and the truth in the world.

[Sheri]

Europe has nothing to do with anything!! Once America is destroyed Europe will fall to Islam!!! We already bankrupted several Euopean nations with our scandalous bad loans!!! We make other countries wealthy by importing their goods!! Babylon is the world's major importer!!

Revelation 18:11 - And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore

Isaiah 47:15 - Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

Revelation - 18:15-17 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, "Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought."
