RFID implants and the Verichip
There's just too much evidence to discard the possibility that the Mark of the Beast is a subdermal microchip implant, namely the Verichip
implant. In fact, the language in Revelation strongly supports such an idea.
Verichip and 666 - Epi, Charagma, and Chi-Xi-StigmaEpi - Looking into the Language of RevelationOne of the most common claims against a microchip implant is that the Mark of the Beast is supposed to be "on" the hand or forehead and not "in" the hand or forehead. Does Revelation 13:16, Revelation 14:9-10, and Revelation 20:4 refer to a mark in the body or on the body?
According to James Strong, both "in" and "on" are valid translations of the Greek word epi. Epi's many definitions include "into", "in a place", and "among", all of which perfectly describe the placement of modern day RFID implants such as Applied Digital Solution's Verichip. The Verichip is easily injected "into" the body "in a place" of the hand or forehead, and remains "among" the flesh.
Charagma - The Mark in Mark of the BeastThe definitions of charagma and the fact that the Verichip is injected using a specialized syringe (called a cannula) make it clear that the Mark of the Beast could very well be a microchip injected into the hand.
Chi-Xi-Stigma Six Hundred Threescore and Six 666Much like the original authors, the Biblical scholars of the King James Bible (KJV) chose to spell out the number 666 - Six hundred threescore and six. This is one of the rare exceptions in the Bible where words are used rather than numbers to describe a numeric value. God inspired these men to spell it out - Six hundred threescore and six - so that we can gain a further understanding of the Mark of the Beast.
Mark of the Beast in the Hand or Forehead?As mentioned before, the popular spiritual interpretation for the Mark of the Beast is that our foreheads represent our thoughts and our hands represent our actions. This may be a good start, but presented alone it falls short of the physical implications of a mark that is required to buy and sell.
Ask yourself, where is the most logical place to put a tiny microchip that is injected under the skin, used for payment, and only operates within a couple inches of a reader? The hand is obvious. Literally payment with the wave of the hand.
Biometrics, iris and fingerprint scan.It's likely that for security the RFID reader (called an interrogator) will require a secondary means of validating a person's identity. That validation might occur through the fingerprint or iris at the same time the RFID microchip is read in the hand or forehead. Both forms of biometrics are already routine in the security realm. Is it mere coincidence that Revelation describes the Mark of the Beast being in the hand or in the forehead?
Revelation 13:16-17 16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Bottom Line: The End is Near! Prepared or not, Lord Jesus
will come very soon!!
Those who will not take the Mark of the Beast
will be saved!
