The Mark of the Beast?

In Ken Peter's video I Saw the Tribulation, he relates how the Lord showed him in a dream what the mark will look like and how it will be implemented.  He says at first it is voluntary-much  like the key tags available in many grocery stores now.  If you have one you get a discount that generally ends up being about 10 percent-an advantage.  Before long, it is difficult to live without it.  Couple that with a world government that we know will mandate it, and one can easily see we are in serious trouble.  Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

In an article entitled "Injectable Chip Opens Door to 'Human Bar Code'' on January 7, 2002, on the website http://www.edtneurope.com/story/tech/OEG20020104S0044, Charles J. Murray  reports the following.

 "A Florida-based company has introduced a passive RFID chip that is compatible with human tissue.  'Are we going to see chips embedded in the human body?  You bet we are, said Paul Saffo, a director of The Institute for the Future (Menlo Park, Calif.).  'But it isn't going to happen overnight.'

"The microchip and its antenna measure just 11.1 x 2.1 mm.  Applied Digital Solutions said the assembly can be injected through a syringe and implanted in various locations within the body.

The tube-shaped VeriChip includes a memory that holds 128 characters of information, an electromagnetic coil for transmitting data and a tuning capacitor, all encapsulated within a silicone-and-glass enclosure.  The passive RF unit, which operates at 125 kHz, is activated by moving a company-designed scanner within about a foot of the chip.  Doing so excites the coil and "wakes up" the chip, enabling it to transmit data.

"A group led by the European Central Bank began work on embedding RFID chips in the euro bank note.  Analysts also suggested that human identification technology would be more likely to be popularized when engineers are able to integrate more memory and other features, such as global-positioning satellite units and induction-based power-recharging techniques.  GPS might help find lost children and adults, they said, while larger memories would enable doctors to store vital patient information."

An article published December 14, 2001 entitled "Refugees Meeting Hears Proposal To Register Every Human in the World" describes the following meeting.

"Every person in the world would be fingerprinted and registered under a universal identification scheme to fight illegal immigration and people smuggling outlined at a United Nations meeting today.

"Mr. Smet said the European Union was already considering a Europe-wide system, using either fingerprints or eye scanning technology, to identify citizens.  But he said the plan could be extended worldwide.  ' There are no technical problems. It is only a question of will and investment ' he said."
