Electronic skin tattoo has medical, gaming, spy uses

Interesting article on a new device for identifying humans. I remember a friend talking about the veri chip,

VeriChip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and how that could be the "Mark of the beast" as foretold in the book of revelations. The verichip sounds good and plausible though unfortunately it wasnt a "mark", it was inserted inside the body.

This new "Electronic skin tattoo" fits prophecy perfectly. The first article states its temporary, I doubt it is, or if it is only temporary the powers of this earth would be working very hard on making it permanent.

The bible states there is a crown for those who are watching for the last days. Watch. Receive that crown.
Tim 4/8
And now the prize awaits me--the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

Why do you always make me think of the Sermon on the Mount? In this instance I think Matthew 7:15–23 is quite apposite.

"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead." Revelation 13:16

I am only a prophet of the Good news of Jesus and the Word, Jesus is the word. Jesus is the Gospel.

Funny you should bring up the Sermon on the mount BB.
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!

In context Jesus is speaking about many things.
Mainly that many will call themselve Christians yet preach an unbiblical message, you know like there is no condemnation for sinners, like there is no hell.
Others will rely on what they have done, their achievements, they wont have a personal relationship with Jesus. We are saved through Jesus, not our own efforts.
Also that there will be many who by their actions will show clearly they are not Jesus's. They will hurt, kill rape, steal, lie. Jesus told Christians this is how it will be, and people on the outside wont be smart enough to discern righteousness in people, though at Judgement, Jesus will.


Accept Jesus, dont rely on works and have eternal love in Jesus.


BB the mere fact that I preach Jesus crucified and the salvation message is a fruit.
My adherence to Jesus returning to Earth is a fruit.
My acceptance of the Trinity is a fruit.
My belief in the Resurrection of Jesus, fruit.
My belief in the redemption in Christ, Jesus, fruit.
The fact I am preaching it at you and you are receiving it, FRUIT.

You dont believe in God or even, you despise him, as you do his believers and here on this forum you preach an anti Christian message. As I would expect the same message you preach in the world.

So according to the word of God, strangely that you use but dont believe, I am not a fruiting tree? but you are??

I am Born Again in Jesus and baptised in to a new life with Jesus, not under Jesus...with Jesus. Isnt that amazing?

Galatians 5:22
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.


and while I dont match up perfectly with every listed item in Galatians, I am saved by Grace in my faith in Jesus, that means Jesus meets me where I fail.

In Romans it states nothing can separate me from the love of Jesus. Good try BB.



Anyway there up top in the first post is the Mark of the Beast as described in the Book of Revelations. Its now a reality, so I suspect ?

If the patch were to be attached permanently and only to the forehead or hand and only to those who "worship the beast" then you may be right. Otherwise I suspect you have missed the mark again.

Nearly Bungles, yes it has to be on the fore head or right hand, but by accepting the mark you accept the antichrist.
The acceptance of the mark is a spiritual baptism in to satanism.
Its in the bible, its now been explained.
It gives me great joy to preach the gospel to the unsaved. I consider witnessing Jesus to the atheists around here a blessing, even if you hate me and call me stupid.
Praise God, thank you Jesus. For your name Jesus I will do anything at any cost.

According to the article the chip would be temporary with some very beneficial uses such as medical monitoring and video games. This chip is temporary, the mark of the beast will be permanent.
THe problem with this sort of thing is that so many quacks get involved - all claiming they have the "one true interpretationn".

None of them so far has proven to be correct. That makes us all sceptical of any new claims.

So my challenge to you is - prove it!

So tell me Tahoenite, you cant imagine they will work out a way to make it permanent, or possibly already have a way to make it permanent, they just wont release the fact because it is a prophecy from the bible?

How many people do you think believe this prophesy works the way you think it does? Indeed, how many people in the world do you think take any notice of Revelation? I think you are in serious need of a reality transplant!

I am a Christian who is focused on Jesus and eternity, a life with my God and family and friends.
I have time to sit and wait and watch.

Did I mention to those Christians here there is a Crown for those who watch for Christs return

* The Watcher's Crown *
This meritorious award is given to all who longingly and desiringly watch for Christ's return. Paul declares in 2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Imagine, God gives a special crown to believers who fix their eyes and hearts heavenward in watchfulness of Christ's return.

You what? Where in the bible does it say that this patch a) will be invented and b) is the mark of the beast? Notice the way you have changed your claim from "this is a permanent fixture" to "possibly it could be made permanent." Are you not so sure of God's word now?

And where has any prophecy supposedly being fulfilled come with a label from God saying it is the fulfillment of said prophecy?

Revelation 13:16-18


16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.



The bible isnt specific though common sense would suggest any mark that held your identity, finances and maybe licences would need to be permanent, obviously?
That anything capable of holding such information would, how should I explain it, you know, like, well, be invented, yah think?

You know Bungles the bible states what is going to happen and in my little home in my little mind I am trying to piece it all together.
Am I right, go on ask me?
Maybe, maybe not.
Though as I look waiting and watching, with the Holy Spirit comforting me.
Well yeah I am dead certain I am on the money here.
I have bet my life on it.

Meaning it doesn't actually say it but you can't bring yourself to admit it?

Why would a patch for monitoring your body functions during medical processes be permanent and also contain information on your identity, finances and licenses? Do you know even what "common sense" is?
in my little mind.
You got that bit right at least.

I know this is beyond some but, they will utilise this technology to encompass a great deal of information.
They, the people who control the worlds economy will make this a permanent mark, with many uses.

Again I dont know for sure but it fits prophecy.
Thank you for allowing me to explain scripture and prophecy in more depth. If you have any more questions please ask.

I see the mark as some official recognition given to vendors at the market place (the agora) after they had followed the custom of making an offering to a presiding deity at that time. Most of Revelation is an encouragement to the Christians undergoing, or about to undergo opposition and persecution from the Roman Empire.

That accords with what I would call a reasonable Christian interpretation.

Are you suggesting that all conspiracy theories are correct?

AL

Wow two great answers by you Argy.
One was agreeing with somebodys theological doctrine, in light of your complete ignorance between Judaism and Christianity I am not suprised why you would agree with Johnz.
As to your second answer above
Well that wasnt an answer at all was it, thats more like a little sidestep to shift responsibility from yourself. You intimidated by me?
Are you scared to answer my question.
I wont patronise you Argy, and I am not suggesting ALL conspiracy theories are true. Thats just silly.
