| The
Mark of the Beast
The Bible, written over 2,000 years ago, tells us:
First we'll delve into some specifics as stated in the Bible. Note that the mark is to be taken in the hand. Not on it. Not around it. But in it. Secondly, note that you must have the mark to buy and sell. Thirdly, note that the application of the mark will involve deception...
As stated above, many believe that the numerical value - 666 - represents one less than perfect (777) and further support this by the fact that "Jesus" totals 888 (one greater than perfect). Others believe that it represents a numerological value of the Beast's actual name. Some claim it's merely a representation of some sort of number based system that will be implemented to buy and sell products. UPC barcodes, when first introduced, caused many to speculate that the tagging by the Beast was about to begin. Decades later - no evil tagging was initiated. But today, a new method of identification sounds strangely similar to the warnings given in the Bible and many people are beginning to panic. RFID, or Radio Frequency Identification, is a new technology somewhat analogous to UPC barcodes but with a very intriguing twist. It does not require physical scanning but rather transmits identifying information using radio signal waves (hence the name). Passive RFID tags actually operate without any external power source - astonishingly, their minimum power requirements are so low that they can actually be powered by the radio signal itself. Will this technology take hold? Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, has mandated that all its suppliers provide RFID tags on their shipping containers by the year 2006. If they refuse to tag their items using RFID technology then they'll lose Wal-Mart as their supplier. Quite an incentive to participate...
So the technology is here but how could it possibly be forced upon people? Would the pressure to comply be enough (driver's licenses are not required but practically everyone has one since it's needed to drive and to conduct banking transactions). Or will it simply be aggressively marketed to encourage adoption? Many in government have begun debating just such a plan. They point out that by requiring every citizen to accept this digital, embedded method of payment we could eradicate all commerce in illegal activities. Consider this - with every payment definitively tied to your person and digitally recorded so that the transaction is traceable - how could prostitution, buying and selling of stolen goods, or purchase of illegal drugs be conducted. Additionally, theft of credit cards and identity theft would be impossible (unless of course, the thief took your entire arm, embedded chip and all, which strangely, is a concern for some). The externally portrayed idea being that just such a plan would be perfect to "better our economic methods" and to "make the world a better place to live in". A means to procure and sell - inserted into the right arm - for the good of the human race - will mankind buy into this... [UNDER DEVELOPMENT] You may use the link below to open the 666 calculator.

"666"
- the mystical sequence of number that causes many to catch their breath
and recall the above written verse. The sequence
of numbers representing one less than perfect (777). But what does
it mean? When will it happen? Could it happen today?
A
U.S. company, Applied Digital Solutions (ADS), has recently created a
chip they refer to as a "sub-dermal credit card". Touted
as "being
chipped", a chip as small as a grain of sand can be injected into the
right arm between the elbow and the shoulder. ADS foresees a day
when ATM cards and credit cards will be replaced by these new devices
and is actively seeking partnerships with banking and credit companies
to team up and develop commercial applications using the chip. No longer would a
person need to swipe a card to buy or sell goods but would rather simply agree
to the business deal and let the RFID technology complete the
transaction. The technology is proven in real world use too - RFID chipping has been
used to tag animals, cattle and household pets, for over 10 years now
and Exxon is currently using RFID technology attached to key-rings to
provide wireless gas station transaction processing.
