RFID Technology - The Mark of the Beast

To the unwary RFID tags may seem to be a convenience. RFID is short for Radio Frequency Identification. Pet owners already embed into the bodies of their cats and dogs the tiny RFID chips or tags. When the pet owner loses his or her pet, the animal can be identified by the radio frequency signal the RFID chip emits. Another person, such as a veterinarian or an animal control officer, can use a chip reader to read the number unique to the pet to identify it and its owner.

The process of RFID identification consists of three steps:

(1) An RFID reader emits a magnetic fieldd or radio - frequency energy wave.

(2) The reader's signal activates and powers the tiny RFID chip. The chip transmits a unique identification number or code.

(3) The reader receives the unique number or code, which corresponds to a record in a database. The record contains information unique to the host, in this case a pet, carrying the RFID chip.

A sample record for a pet could read as follows:

Control number: 333-21-0137
Name: Fluffy
Pet Type: Cat
Owner: Ben Smith
Address: 6161 West Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89146
Phone: (702) 486-6000

Here the RFID chip merely transmits the to the reader the control number 333-21-0137, which has access to a pet database.

World governments, including the United States, could likewise soon use RFID chips to track, command, and control their citizens. Already RFID chips are being used in passports, driver's licenses, and in school ID cards. China already uses national ID cards that contain a person's personal information such as:

(1) medical records

(2) religion

(3) ethnicity

(4) name and phone number of landlord

With RFID technology in place and a movement toward national ID cards such as the Chinese government's, soon world governments will pass laws requiring identification officials to embed the RFID chip into the bodies of all people within their borders.

An American, for example, will not be able to buy or sell goods and services without the government issued RFID national identification card. Such an RFID national ID card would also serve as a Smart debit and credit card. It would also link the person to databases containing his or her medical records, credit history, educational history, criminal record, etc. All information about a person will be linked to the unique number encoded in the RFID chip embedded in the person's body. The most likely parts of the body for implantation would be a person's hand or forehead.

The RFID chip, which world governments would impose, is identical to the Mark of the Beast described in the Book of Revelation. "It forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a stamped image on their right hand or foreheads, so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beast's name or the number that stood for its name." (Revelation 13:16)

The Beast is clever and has read the Bible. He or she would never overtly impose that people get embedded with RFID implants. The evolution of the acceptance of the bodily RFID chip or Mark of the Beast will be slow and piecemeal. The process will come in stages:

(1) Financial institutions and governments will issue RFID-enabled Smart Cards. These Smart Cards will intiallly serve as ID cards, debit cards, and credit cards all in one.

(2) The Smart Card will gain more functionality also functioning as medical insurance and history cards, library cards, etc.

(3) Rising theft of Smart Cards and calls for greater security from the public will lead to the emergence of bodily issued Smart Chips, the RFID chip in the hand or forehead.

The bodily issued RFID chips or Smart Chips will seem like a blessing of convenience at first. The consumer no longer will have to fumble around his or her wallet or purse for different cards. He or she can simply wave his or her hand by an RFID reader to process any transaction. However, the Beast will use the RFID as a tool of enslavement.

A marked person will be unable to access the Internet, bank accounts, apply for a job, hold a job, etc. unless he or she does what the Beast orders. Persons without the mark wil have a difficult time functioning in a world with people carrying the Mark of the Beast, or RFID chip. Such is the price for keeping one's soul. Ultimately unmarked people will keep their freedom when the Beast reveals his true nature and real agenda.

With the Mark of the Beast, or RFID chip in their bodies, marked people are subject to the Beast's commands to worship him and his abominations. The Beast will be able to use electronic means to control a marked person's mind. Such people, he or she will compel to worship his master, Lucifer.

Every God fearing Christian should resist the RFID movement. Resistance is as simple as paying in cash. Above all do not have the RFID chip embedded in your body, not matter how much convenience its promoters promise. Salvation is not easy in a technology dominated world. Jesus Christ promises that those who refuse the Mark of the Beast will win the Crown of Life.
