It Really Is True...
(Updated 7-16-06)OK, here's the deal. I'm not an alarmist, and there are a lot of bad eschatological (end-times) ideas out there. There is a lot of speculation. But check this out:
I first read about RFID technology in a book about Wal-Mart. The mega-company uses it to track their products in warehouses, stores, etc. It is very real and is not some speculative technology. It is a tiny chip that emits radio frequencies that give information to a computer.
Now read this:

That's CNN, not the latest prophecy page (some of which are actually quite good, by the way). See Revelation 13:16-17. The technology is certainly available and it looks like a "sensible" option to those who are trying to prevent terrorism and identity theft. It is also being discussed as a way of tracking illegal immigrants. (http://www.livescience.com/scienceoffiction/060531_rfid_chips.html)
Here is a very recent story about a hospital implanting patients to keep track of their medical records:

Are these people getting the mark of the Beast? No. But the technology is there whenever that world dictator appears and decides to standardize the global economic system.
Friends, if you do not believe God's Word is true, please investigate it for yourself now. Grab a Bible and read about Jesus in the book of John. Read Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Mark. Read Revelation (a good commentary like Mounce's is helpful). Don't put something like this off, because we are seeing things rushing incredibly fast toward what Jesus referred to as a time "such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall. And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved..." (Matthew 24:21-22a). It's not a good time coming.
