How exactly is a RFID chip connected to Satan?
Being branded with an RFID chip that identifies you and determines whether you can buy or sell, not just any RFID chip, is connected to the realm "in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the
air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient."
What does it mean that we have been redeemed? We were sold in sin, Jesus paid the price. If we were sold in sin who did we belong to? It was murky until we received Jesus and crossed the Red sea. The entire exodus was about slaves, that Pharaoh owned, being released from that bondage by God. This is the issue that runs through the entire Bible and ultimately gets resolved at the end of this age.
So when I brand a cow it identifies who the cow belongs to. Right now you pay taxes to the government, they can value that and calculate how much each taxpayer is worth to them. This type of cost benefit analysis has been done to prove that public HS has paid back the government in spades, or that going to college is a financially smart move that pays for itself. This type of analysis is at the heart of any decent attempt to change the health care system or to have free college like we have free HS. One advantage of this to the government is that every single transaction you do now will be tracked by the government, no more bartering, no more transactions off the books, no more saving the tax the by paying in cash. As a result the government will make more for you. If I have a cow I am willing to feed it, pay for the vet, etc. until it is time to slaughter it and sell it.
So in the same way a farmer values a cow, the government is valuing you. The worship of Baal is the worship of money, job and career. Getting this mark is a sign of that worship.
If you love the Lord you would keep His commandments. If He says not to get the mark of the beast you don't. There is no conflict. However, if you love money, your job, your career now you have a conflict. Who do you love? Who do you worship? Who do you belong to?
