Patrick Paumen causes a stir whenever he pays for something in a shop or restaurant.

This is because the 37-year-old doesn't need to use a bank card or his mobile phone to pay. Instead, he simply places his left hand near the contactless card reader, and the payment goes through.

"The reactions I get from cashiers are priceless!" says Mr Paumen, a security guard from the Netherlands.

He is able to pay using his hand because back in 2019 he had a contactless payment microchip injected under his skin.

And when it comes to implantable payment chips, British-Polish firm, Walletmor, says that last year it became the first company to offer them for sale.

The microchip implants that let you pay with your hand

I don't think making payments with a credit card is inconvenient enough to where I would ever feel the need to have a chip implanted under my skin.

...It's really not that hard holding a card that weighs only 5 grams with two fingertips. :)

I agree. But people have speculated for decades about a hand chip being mark of the Beast.

I thought that was from George Orwell's 1984 book, more than the bible.

Someone once told me that conspiracy theories are based on the human minds natural inclination to lump together like-type things into a common thought.

...That would explain lumping together the Bible and Orwell's 1984 book.

16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
~Revelation 13:16-17 (NIV)

Is there any other practical way of pulling it off?

9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
~Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV)

Life imitating art or art imitating life? I'd argue it's a cycle: An idea's got to start from somewhere, with many different ways of presenting it, including truly innovative ones becoming reality. Rinse and repeat. Think Star Trek.

I was once advised by my spiritual director to avoid the book of Revelation. So I don't actually read it.

IMHO I would chuck that advisor.

The book of revelatios starts out
Revelation 1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ,.....

It reveles Jesus Christ to us

I pray that you rethink your position

Is there a reason why, if you don't mind me asking?

Because it's so vague, and filled with allegory, that it's not understandable to the lay person.

I don't know what this means, and this type of language doesn't seem to help me on my spiritual journey:

"And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength."

...It's stuff like that that causes me to want to read more understandable books in the bible.

The word is truth

Revelation 1
King James Version

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

3 Blessed is he that readeth , and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

landon I assume you want to be blessed

I'm not against reading it, I just can't honestly say I can make anything out of it... I don't even understand poetry, so my mind doesn't work that way.

And he had in his right hand seven stars:


Read on brother the bible explains itself

Revelation 1:15-20 King James Version (KJV)
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
