Lets talk about the mark of the beast. We know that the number of the beast is 666. We also know he is going to make everyone take his mark during the tribulation.

Let’s read Revelation 13.

Revelation 13:16 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.

So, unless you take this mark, you will not be able to buy and sell. This probably means food, cars, electronic, fuel, or anything else. It looks like an universal money system. It’ll work world-wide. But what does that mean in our world today?

Now let’s talk about the Verichip.

At a global security conference held today in Paris, an American company announced a new syringe-injectable microchip implant for humans, designed to be used as a fraud-proof payment method for cash and credit-card transactions. -WorldNetDaily, 2003

So, scientists have made a electronic chip that is placed under your skin. It’s like a credit card. Swipe it under a scanner and presto! You just bought something.

So, where does the “mark” come in?

The use of external marking, such as a tattoo, to indicate the presence or original location of a Verichip under the skin… -Wiki

So… is this chip the mark of the beast? Maybe the “beast’ will want the Verichip branded with a mark… his mark. Maybe not. I don’t know. But I know governments around the world are pushing for this to happen. Thousands of people already have it. It looks like “the next big thing;” it sounds awesome.

But is it?
