The Chip

[honorthesabbath]

How ridiculous can the world get with this Verichip nonsense? I received this little gem in my e-mail the other day and laughed till I cried.

But then I realized that literally millions are being mislead by this deception and are ripe for the pickin's when the real mark of the beast comes about. And THIS is the real tragedy about this whole lie.

Now I'm not saying that somehow this chip may not be used to implement the buying and selling aspect of this prophecy, but the chip itself is not the mark. After all, how would being forced to accept this chip change your relationship with God? Not to mention that so far, none of these chips have been placed 'in the forehead or the hand'!!

Here is the e-mail as i received it...

Bible Context:

"And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image." Revelation 16:2

Once the mark is fully implemented and in place, which will control all commercialism everywhere, God is going to make these implants to explode internally in the body. This will will cause a very grievous sore upon all who receive them. Further, this event will cause total financial havoc everywhere because everyone's personal account assigned to them will be suspended, i.e., no one will not be able to buy or sell anything.

Hi Honor,

While what people think, may seem ridiculous to those who know better, it is not ridiculous to the person that made these statements. Ask yourself this; How would it be possible to get this person back on track and continue to study the Bible for truth?

May I suggest that the first thing that needs to be done is to find something that can be agreed upon. Once you
can establish a common ground then it is possible to
expand on that agreement for as a reason for them to reconsider their position.


Here is an actual example of what I'm talking about:
_______________________________________________________
XXXXXXXX you are 100% correct when you say;

"Satan will be coming back to this earth some time in the future, claiming to be Jesus Christ. Satan will have supernatural powers when he returns, able to deceive many. The mark of the beast is not a tattoo or some kind of chip that people think will be put in their body at that time. Satan is to smart for that. What we are talking about here, are things on a spiritual level. The mark of the beast is deception. What you think and what you do."

However you are a triful off the mark when you say;

"Many already have the mark of the beast today. They believe and spread the lie of the rapture, claiming that they will not be here for the tribulation. Claiming they don't need to read the whole book of Revelation because they think they will be gone, that they will be raptured away. Well, God's word says otherwise. There is no rapture and believing that there is, is part of the mark of the beast.?"

No one has recieved the mark of the beast yet. If we study the book of Revelation carefully we will find that the mark of the beast is the opposite of the Seal of God. Those who will accept the mark of the beast will do so prior to the saints recieving the Seal of God. You are also quite correct to say the forehead is repersentive of the mind, our thinking, and the hand is repersentive of our actions. With that in mind, and the fact that the antichrist will be attempting to counterfit Christ, let's take a look at what will be required to accept/recieve the Seal of God, when it will be given, and what happens before it is given. In Rev. 3:10-12 we read:

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all te world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and will write upon him my new name.

Then we find in Rev. 7:3

....till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Next from Rev. 14:11 & 12:

....who worship the beast and his image, and recieveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

From the forgoing we see that these two marks/seals will be given out just prior to the return of Christ. Also from the forgoing we see that the saints will endure the hour of temptation (the tribulation). We can now see that there is more involved than just a false belief system of looking far into the future for Christ return. By getting us to look away from what is happening around us, looking for things to happen out of the sequence of what is written in God's Word, Satan will be able to decieve us by diversion. That is, he will divert our attention away from what God has told us thereby causing us to accept false doctrines and thus we can now understand the warning "hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
___________________________________________________

This was in the midst of a many sidded discussion about the mark of the beast where every concievable argument possible against the Sabbath being involved in any way with the mark of the beast was being offered. I'm sure you can see the principal involved here. To use a phrase from the world of professional salesmanship; "Selling doesn't begin until the customer says no." Sometimes it's very hard to hear a "no" when all we want to hear is a "yes."

Respectfully, your brother in Christ,
Doc

I have been following the whole RFID situation for a while now and yes things are definitely going to heat up. People are definitely being misled in the wrong direction with the idea that the chip will be the mark of the beast. I've given this some study and I've realized that it's part of a bigger agenda of Satan to fully unfold his plan on this Earth to deceive as many as he can before the Lord returns. It's all quite fascinating really... I don't have time now but I'll try to make a detailed post on it sometime tomorrow


Here's a mini clip mentioning the RFID chip a bit, def worth 9minutes of your time:

Doc--the e-mail I received was from an internet group, not a personal one of someone I actually know.

But I have to say, that I used to live chat over at Yahoo with folks about this very issue and once they are convinced that the chip IS the beast, no matter how many scriptures or common sense appeals you plead with them with--they simply will not listen.
