Who Pulls the Strings - Final
The logical solution to this and other identification problems is to dispense with the card and simply attach the silicon data chip to its owner. What surer way to accomplish this than to implant this rice-sized biochip under the skin, and what better place than the hand or forehead? Biochips have already been implanted in pets--ostensibly for medical and tracking purposes-- and in at least two humans. A British university professor has had several chips implanted under his skin to perform tasks such as opening electronically locked doors and turning on lights or his computer when he walks into the room. A U.S. surgeon did the same. A version of the popular biochip used to track pets has already been developed for human tissue. Could this or something like it be a forerunner of the mark of the Beast?
And what about the number 666? It is likely to have something to do with people being assigned a unique multidigital number, along the lines of a personal identification number, or PIN.
A complete switch from clumsy cash to efficient electronic currency would certainly make our lives easier by making financial transactions quicker, more convenient, and more secure. However, it would also make our lives more controlled, comparable to the ankle transmitters that some convicted criminals under house arrest or on parole must wear. Your whereabouts could be known at all times, and your privacy would be nonexistent. Every purchase you made, every place you went, every TV show you watched or Web page you perused, every phone call you made could be monitored and recorded in a central database.
And there is one more catch. According to the Bible, the driving force behind the coming one-world order is the most evil entity the world has ever known. The Devil, also known as Satan, will no longer be content to operate behind the scenes--the Beast (Antichrist) will be the Devil incarnate. The Devil's goal has always been to have people worship him instead of God. In the last half of the Antichrist's rule, the horrific three and a half years that the Bible describes as the "Great Tribulation," he will pull out all the stops in order to achieve this.
Revelation tells us that accepting the mark of the Beast will not be an entirely financial decision. It will also be a decision to embrace the Beast and what he stands for. We are also told what will become of those who worship the Beast and willingly bear his mark: "If anyone worships the Beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God" Rev. 14:9-10.
Although the Beast will rant and rave on the world's stage for a few short years, he and his followers will be the ultimate losers. At the end of the Antichrist's seven-year reign, Jesus Christ will return with the hosts of Heaven to right all wrongs, and He and those who love and follow Him will emerge from the Great Tribulation as the glorious and eternal winners.
You can be a sure winner too, by accepting Jesus as your Savior. Two thousand years ago when He walked the earth, Jesus gave His life so that you could experience His love and have all the other wonderful gifts He has for you in this life, and live forever in the next. To receive all that, all you have to do is sincerely pray a short prayer like this one:
Jesus, please come into my heart and life. I'm sorry for the things I have done wrong, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I receive You and Your gift of eternal life, and ask You to fill me with Your love and peace. Amen.
It's that simple. Receive Jesus today, and He will never leave you. He will be with you through the troublous times that are soon to come, and beyond! He will cut the strings!
