Is the biochip the Mark of the Beast?
The biochip technology was originally developed in 1983 for monitoring
fisheries, it's use now includes, over 300 zoos, over 80 government
agencies in at least 20 countries, pets (everything from lizards to
dogs), electronic "branding" of horses, monitoring lab animals,
fisheries, endangered wildlife, automobiles, garment tracking,
hazardous waste, and according to the experts - humans (which we'll
examine in detail later). To date, over 7 million animals have been
"chipped". The major biochip companies are A.V.I.D. (American
Veterinary Identification Devices), Trovan Identification Systems, and
Destron-Fearing Cor****ation.
And according to most modern-day "prophecy teachers". . . the implanted
biochip is the soon-coming, 666: Mark of the Beast.

What is a biochip implant?
The current, in use, biochip implant system is actually a fairly simple
device. Today's, biochip implant is basically a small (micro)
computer chip, inserted under the skin, for identification purposes.
The biochip implant system consists of two components; a transponder
and a reader or scanner. The transponder is the actual biochip implant.
The biochip system is a radio frequency identification (RFID) system,
using low-frequency radio signals to communicate between the biochip
and reader. The reading range or activation range, between reader and
biochip is small, normally between 2 and 12 inches.
Note, we are only examining the implanted "biochips", there are many
other RFID microchip systems available.
The transponder: The transponder is the actual biochip implant. It is a
passive transponder, meaning it contains no battery or energy of it's
own. In comparison, an active transponder would provide it's own
energy source, normally a small battery. Because the passive biochip
contains no battery, or nothing to wear out, it has a very long life,
up to 99 years, and no maintenance. Being passive, it's inactive until
the reader activates it by sending it a low-power electrical charge.
The reader "reads" or "scans" the implanted biochip and receives back
data (in this case an identification number) from the biochip. The
communication between biochip and reader is via low-frequency radio
waves.
The biochip-transponder consists of four parts; computer microchip,
antenna coil, capacitor and the glass capsule.
Computer Microchip: The microchip stores a unique identification number
from 10 to 15 digits long. The storage capacity of the current
microchips is limited, capable of storing only a single ID number. AVID
(American Veterinary Identification Devices), claims their chips, using
a nnn-nnn-nnn format, has the capability of over 70 trillion unique
numbers. The unique ID number is "etched" or encoded via a laser onto
the surface of the microchip before assembly. Once the number is
encoded it is impossible to alter. The microchip also contains the
electronic circuitry necessary to transmit the ID number to the
"reader".
Antenna Coil: This is normally a simple, coil of copper wire around a
ferrite or iron core. This tiny, primitive, radio antenna "receives and
sends" signals from the reader or scanner.
Tuning Capacitor: The capacitor stores the small electrical charge
(less than 1/1000 of a watt) sent by the reader or scanner, which
activates the transponder. This "activation" allows the transponder to
send back the ID number encoded in the computer chip. Because "radio
waves" are utilized to communicate between the transponder and reader,
the capacitor is "tuned" to the same frequency as the reader.
Glass Capsule: The glass capsule "houses" the microchip, antenna coil
and capacitor. It is a small capsule, the smallest measuring 11 mm in
length and 2 mm in diameter, about the size of an uncooked grain of
rice. The capsule is made of biocompatible material such as soda lime
glass. After assembly, the capsule is hermetically (air-tight) sealed,
so no bodily fluids can touch the electronics inside. Because the glass
is very smooth and susceptible to movement, a material such as a
polypropylene polymer sheath is attached to one end of the capsule.
This sheath provides a compatible surface which the bodily tissue
fibers bond or interconnect, resulting in a permanent placement of the
biochip.
The biochip is inserted into the subject with a hypodermic syringe.
Injection is safe and simple, comparable to common vaccines. Anesthesia
is not required nor recommended. In dogs and cats, the biochip is
usually injected behind the neck between the shoulder blades. Trovan,
Ltd., markets an implant, featuring a patented "zip quill", which you
simply press in, no syringe is needed. According to AVID "Once
implanted, the identity tag is virtually impossible to retrieve. . .
The number can never be altered."
The reader: The reader consists of an "exciter" coil which creates an
electromagnetic field that, via radio signals, provides the necessary
energy (less than 1/1000 of a watt) to "excite" or "activate" the
implanted biochip. The reader also carries a receiving coil that
receives the transmitted code or ID number sent back from the
"activated" implanted biochip. This all takes place very fast, in
milliseconds. The reader also contains the software and components to
decode the received code and display the result in an LCD display. The
reader can include a RS-232 ****t to attach a computer.
How it works
The reader generates a low-power, electromagnetic field, in this case
via radio signals, which "activates" the implanted biochip. This
"activation" enables the biochip to send the ID code back to the reader
via radio signals. The reader amplifies the received code, converts it
to digital format, decodes and displays the ID number on the reader's
LCD display. The reader must normally be between 2 and 12 inches near
the biochip to communicate. The reader and biochip can communicate
through most materials, except metal.
Common Misconceptions About Biochip implants:
With a biochip they can track you or your pet's location, anywhere in
the world.
FALSE. The current biochip and reader has a maximum range of 12 inches.
Pet's are located by shelters, vets, etc. finding a lost pet and
reading it's biochip. The technology does not exist to globally
locate something as small as a biochip.
The World & I magazine writes:
Contrary to rumors at Stanford University that a microchip implanted in
Chelsea Clinton's neck broadcasts her location to a satellite, the
device's current capabilities are much more primitive. In fact, the
majority now in use can only transmit a single alpha-numeric
identification number that is unique to the particular animal in which
a microchip is implanted. (Craig Dees, Watching From Inside. Vol. 13,
The World & I, 02-01-1998, pp 150.)
A biochip can store and update your financial, medical, demographic
data, basically everything about you.
The common scenario is: an implanted biochip can be scanned to pay for
groceries, obtain medical procedures, conduct financial transactions.
FALSE. Currently, the in use, implanted biochips only store ONE 10 to
15 digit. Although the microchip can hold more data, and some
microchips can be "updated", the technology to perform the above
mentioned functions via today's small biochip does not exist. At
best, the biochip could be scanned for your PIN (Person Identification
Number) and a global centralized computer system could perform the
functions against your number. But the obvious question is - in that
case, for only identification purposes, why not use biometric
identification technology such as "eye-scans", fingerprints, hand scans
or voice ID's? They are more reliable and completely tamperproof.
One major concern with a implanted biochip is theft.
According to the "authorities" a chip implant would contain your
financial world, medical history, health care - it would contain your
"electronic life". If cash no longer existed and if the world's
economy was totally chip oriented; - there would be a huge
"black-market" for chips! Since there is no cash and no other bartering
system, criminals would cut off hands and heads, stealing "rich-folks"
chips. How would like to "borrow" Bill Gates chip for a few days?
Terry Waite, the Anglican Church envoy who spent five years as a
hostage in Beirut, sounded a similar alarm concerning biochip implants:
"It is very dangerous because once kidnappers get to know about these
things, they will skin you alive to find them," (New York Times, June
20, 1999
According to the majority of today's "prophecy teachers" the biochip
gets the vote as the infamous "Mark of the Beast". Here's just a
sampling:
Texe Marrs, Project L.U.C.I.D.:
"Will the implantable biochip, linked in with L.U.C.I.D. worldwide
control net, become the basis for the mysterious, but diabolical, Mark
of the Beast? It seems possible, even likely, that this will prove to
be the case." (Texe Marrs, Project L.U.C.I.D. p.113)
Betty Lynn, Pathways to Armageddon:
"The prince. . . will exclude everyone who does not have an approved
cashless account. Because of the im****tance of that account to daily
existence and to protect it from theft, account information will be
bio-implanted, leaving a small mark on the hand or temple." (Betty
Lynn, Pathways to Armageddon, p.47)
Terry Cook, The Mark of the New World:
"It is my well-researched opinion that the Mark of the Beast, as
related in scripture, is absolutely literal. Soon, all people on earth
will be coerced into accepting a Mark in their right hand or forehead.
I am convinced that it will be an injectable passive RFID transponder
with a computer chip - a literal injection with a literal electronic
biochip "mark". . . I believe that such an implanted identification
mark literally will become Satan's Mark of the Beast, as we will
discuss further in this chapter." (Terry Cook, The Mark of the New
World Order p. 587)
Many "prophecy teachers" take the latest and greatest technology and
many times, they "twist and distort" the scriptures to make today's
technology match the scriptures - when they're not even close.
And not only that. . . one very im****tant factor to keep in mind. . .
the "world system", as it exists before the rapture, will be a markedly
different "world system", after the chaos of the rapture!
What the state of world affairs, technology, politics, etc. will be
after between approximately 200 million and 2 billion people
immediately disappear, is anybody's guess - and no matter what anyone
"claims" they KNOW - it's just a GUESS.
As we prayerfully look into the "light" of the Holy Scriptures, let us
be ever careful to avoid the temptation to make the scriptures say what
we "want" them to say. But let them speak as "thus saith the Lord".
What saith the scriptures?
As we examine the biochip in the light of the Holy Word of God, may we
take to heart the admonishment of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ:
"And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because
ye know not the scriptures, . . ." Mark 12:24
Help us, Lord Jesus, to "know what the scriptures say about the mark of
the beast, and not therefore err".
What does the scriptures say about 666: The Mark of the Beast?
And does the Lord's description of the Mark of the Beast match a
biochip implant?
Most people when examining 666: The Mark of the Beast, make the serious
mistake of limiting their scope to only Revelation 13:16-18, but the
MARK of the beast is mentioned eight times in the book of Revelation:
Revelation 13:16-18
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:
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.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six. Rev. 13:16-18
Revelation 14:9
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man
wor****p the beast and his image, and receive his MARK in his forehead,
or in his hand, Rev. 14:9
Revelation 14:11
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they
have no rest day nor night, who wor****p the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the MARK of his name. Rev. 14:11
Revelation 15:2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that
had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his
MARK, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass,
having the harps of God. Rev 15:2
Revelation 16:2
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 wor****pped his image. Rev. 16:2
Revelation 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the
MARK of the beast, and them that wor****pped his image. These both were
cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Rev. 19:20
Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto
them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not wor****pped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his MARK upon their foreheads,
or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years. Rev. 20:4
Notice. In these eight verses, the MARK is referred by:
Rev 13:16 "a mark"Rev 13:17 " the mark"Rev 14:9 "his mark"Rev 14:11
"mark of his name"Rev 15:2 "his mark"
Rev 16:2 "the mark of the beast"Rev 19:20 "the mark of the beast"Rev
20:4 "his mark"
Very im****tant: Notice how the mark is personally associated,
representative or symbolic of the beast or antichrist:
Rev 14:9 "his mark"Rev 14:11 "mark of his name"Rev 15:2 "his mark"Rev
16:2 "the mark of the beast"Rev 19:20 "the mark of the beast"Rev 20:4
"his mark"
Three times (14:9, 15:2, 20:4) it's called "HIS mark". Two times
(16:2, 19:20) it's called "the mark OF THE BEAST" One time (14:11)
it's called "the mark of HIS Name"
These verses, clearly indicate a mark personally symbolic of the beast
and his name.
This appears to eliminate a biochip implant. A biochip is basically, a
few components in a small glass capsule. There's nothing symbolic
about a biochip, much less the "mark of HIS name".
The mark is also, associated or represented somehow, to his name and
his number (666).
Revelation 13:16-18 is, by far, the most quoted and misquoted, verse on
the "mark of the beast". Most people limit the "And that no man might
buy or sell" only to "the mark" but notice what verse 17 actually says:
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. Rev. 13:17
Very im****tant. The "buying and selling" is NOT just those that have
the MARK, but ALSO those that have the NAME of the beast, or the NUMBER
of his name.
Revelation 13:17 clearly teaches THREE ways a person can "buy or sell":
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, if you do NOT have the MARK, but have the NAME or the NUMBER -
you can "buy or sell". Again, this would also "weed-out" a biochip.
How do you "have" the name of the beast, or the number of his name?
Five times the Bible refers to "receiving" the mark (13:16, 14:9,
14:11, 19:20, 20:4)
Three times the Bible refers to "receiving" the mark specifically "in
their right hand, or in their foreheads:" (13:16, 14:9, 20:4)
But no where does the Bible mention "receiving" the name of the beast,
or the number of his name.
Is it possible, the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of
his name, be one and the same?
Yes. Depending on the definition of OR.
The word or is defined:
Or: 1. express an alternative of terms, definitions 2. explanations of
the same thing in different words
Taking definition 2 - "explanations of the SAME THING in different
words", would indicate the mark, or the name of the beast, or the
number of his name, are the same.
If someone receives the mark, they shall drink of the wine of the wrath
of God, and be tormented with fire and brimstone for ever and ever.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man
wor****p the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead,
or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured
out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels,
and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they
have no rest day nor night, who wor****p the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the MARK of his name.
Revelation 14:9-11
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the
MARK of the beast, and them that wor****pped his image. These both were
cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Rev 19:20
What about the name of the beast, or the number of his name?
Is there any punishment for "having" them?
In Rev. 16:2, a "noisome and grievous sore" falls upon those who
receive the mark:
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 wor****pped his image. Rev. 16:2
Why no "torment" or "grievous sore" for those that have the name of the
beast, or the number of his name?
Again, is there any punishment for "having" his name or number?
Rev. 15:2, tells of those that got victory over "....his MARK, and over
the NUMBER of his name..."
How does someone get "victory" over "the NUMBER of his name"? Does one
also receive the name of the beast, or the number of his name "in their
right hand, or in their foreheads:" - like the mark?
Could they all be the same "mark"?
Again the biochip doesn't seem to match the Word of God.
Although, we can't say for sure, examining these verses, the "mark"
would be one of the following scenarios:
The mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name are the same
single mark. In this case, because we know what the number is, the mark
would be "666".
A lot of Bible teachers believe the mark is "666".
Mark Hitchock, in his book, The Complete Book of Bible Prophecy, makes
an interesting "logical progression" concerning the mark of the Beast:
"This passage [Rev 13:16-18] provides five key clues as to the
interpretation of the mark of the Beast.
The name of the beast The number representing his name The number of
the Beast The number of a man The number is 666
When these five clues are followed through their logical progression,
the number or mark of the Beast is the number of a man who is the
Antichrist or final world ruler. This number is the number of the
Antichrist's own name."(Mark Hitchock, The Complete Book of Bible
Prophecy, p.202)
"The 'Mark' will be BRANDED or burnt on. It will probably be the
'NUMBER OF BEAST' OR '666'." (Clarence Larkin, Dispensational Truth,
p.. 124, published 1918)
"Yes, I believe there will be three sixes tattooed on foreheads and
right hands. . . indeed I do. I believe John 3:16. I believe God
literally loved, literally gave, Jesus literally came and literally
died. Why should I not believe the number of the Beast will be 666?"
(Oliver Greene, The Revelation, Verse by Verse, p. 350, 1963)
The mark consists of both the number of his name (666) and his name
combined in a single mark. Some type of "esoteric" mark forming a "666"
while also symbolic of his name.
"The 'mark' itself is at once a number and a name. The Apostle tells us
what it is. As he gives it, it is made up of two Greek characters which
stand for the name of Christ, with a third, the figure of a crooked
serpent, put between them, the name of God's Messiah transformed into
a Devil sacrament." (Joseph Seiss, The Apocalypse, 1865, p. 457)
"What kind of mark will it be? It will be a physical mark, probably
visible, that the False Prophet will force every man and woman to
receive on his right hand or forehead. The mark will be related to both
the 'name of the beast' as well as the 'number of his name' -
666."(Grant R. Jeffrey, Prince of Darkness, p. 275)
They are all different. Which would possibly be three separate "marks".
Also, if this is true, you could "have" the number of his name or the
name of the beast and not receive any punishment. From scripture, it
seems unlikely there are three separate "marks".
The biochip error. . .
The error that misleads most people to believing biochips, bar codes,
etc. is the mark of the beast, is the limiting or over emphasis of the
"buying and selling" aspect of the mark of the beast. Most people are
frantically searching for some technology or method to control the
commerce functions (buying and selling) of the world. They've heard
Rev. 13:16-18 quoted so much - they think that's all there is to
the mark.
You know how I know that's true. . .
The number of "frightened" Christians who have contacted me worried
about getting a credit card, smart card or debit card because they
might be "receiving the mark of the beast". Anybody that has read ALL
the Lord says about the mark wouldn't ask such a "silly" question.
All they know about the Mark of the Beast is "no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark ..."
But that is NOT the purpose of the mark of the beast. . .
How do I KNOW?
Simple. The Bible says so - you just have to look further than Rev.
13:16-18
The reason for receiving the mark is wor****p and allegiance to the
Antichrist. It's NOT the "buying and selling"! Most people are busy
searching for a "technology" or method to control the "buying and
selling" - and that's NOT the reason for receiving the mark of the
beast. And I'm going to prove that without any shadow of a doubt. . .
I repeat - the reason for taking the mark of the beast is not so
someone can or can NOT buy or sell.
Here's the reason "buying and selling" can NOT be the main purpose
for the mark. Because according to Rev. 14:9-11 - whoever receives
the mark "shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God . . . shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone . . . their torment ascendeth up for
ever and ever".
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man
wor****p the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead,
or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured
out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels,
and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they
have no rest day nor night, who wor****p the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the MARK of his name.
Revelation 14:9-11
Do you understand the seriousness of what you just read? Whoever
receives the mark "shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God . . .
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone . . . their torment
ascendeth up for ever and ever".
This begs the obvious question - is a Holy, Righteous, Just, God
going to "torment someone with fire and brimestone, for ever and ever"
for receiving a "mark" to "buy or sell".
Please, let's not forget . . . Our God is LOVE.
The Bible says in 1 John 4:16 - "... God is LOVE..."
"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS
LOVE; . . ." 1 John 4:16:
The Bible says in familiar John 3:16, "For God SO LOVED the world..."
The Bible says in Psalms 86:5, that God is "good, ready to forgive, and
plenteous in mercy".
"For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and PLENTEOUS IN MERCY
unto all them that call upon thee." Psalms 86:5
In the "light" of these verses (and there are thousands of wonderful
verses just like them) - would a "God of LOVE"; a God, "ready to
FORGIVE; a God, "plenteous in MERCY" - "torment someone with fire and
brimestone, for ever and ever" for simply receiving a "mark" or
"biochip" to "buy or sell"?
NO. Absolutely NOT. A thousand times - NEVER!
What is the real purpose of the mark of the beast?
What is it about the mark of the beast, that so "disturbs" a just and
holy God, that He would justly "torment someone in fire and brimestone
for all eternity" for receiving the mark?
The purpose of the mark of the beast is a "mark" of allegiance and
wor****p of the Antichrist. And it is a rejection of a holy God. To
receive the mark of the beast you must FIRST wor****p the beast. Look at
the following verses:
"If any man wor****p the beast and his image, and receive his mark. . .
" Rev. 14:9
" . . . who wor****p the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth
the mark. . . " Rev. 14:11
" . . .which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which wor****pped
his image." Rev. 16:2
" . . . them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
wor****pped his image. . ." Rev. 19:20
" . . . which had not wor****pped the beast, neither his image, neither
had received his . . ." Rev. 20:4
Only ONE verse connects "buying and selling" with the mark. But there
are many verses that connect the mark to WOR****P.
True. No one can buy or sell without the mark, but that's not the
REASON for receiving the mark. The "no man might buy or sell" is the
CONSEQUENCE of NOT receiving the mark - not the REASON for receiving
it.
John Hagee writes in From Daniel to Doomsday:
"I believe the main reason the Antichrist will cause everyone to
receive what is known as the 'mark of the beast' is to control everyone
and crush all who wor****p the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." (John
Hagee, From Daniel to Doomsday, p. 193)
Pastor John Hagee is wrong.
The main reason of the mark of the beast is WOR****P.
Satan desires what belongs ONLY to God - WOR****P. Satan wants to be
God!
Let's not forget what Lucifer said in Isaiah 14:
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount
of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most
High. Isaiah 14:13-14
When Satan tempted the Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 4 (and Luke 4),
remember how Satan tried to "bargain" with the Lord:
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and
showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt
fall down and WOR****P me. Matthew 4:9-10
The devil desires WOR****P.
And how did the Lord Jesus respond?
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt wor****p the Lord thy God, and him ONLY shalt thou serve.
Matthew 4:8-10
Wor****p ONLY belongs to God - and that's what Satan desires.
2 Thess. 2:4 describes the wor****p of the Antichrist during the
tribulation:
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that
is wor****pped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing
himself that he is God. 2 Thess. 2:4
No sir, Pastor Hagee. The reason for the mark of the Beast is not
control - it's WOR****P.
The biochip's REASON is the "buying and selling" which is NOT the
REASON for the mark. And when most people "vote" the biochip as the
mark, their only REASON is - the "buying and selling".
The foundational logic for the biochip as the mark of the beast is
WRONG.
This leads us into another question about the mark of the beast. . .
Will the mark be invisible?
Salem Kirban says in Satan's Mark Exposed
"One day in the Tribulation Period you will need proper identification
to withdraw or deposit money in your bank. The identification will be
an invisible mark either on the back of your hand or on you forehead!"
(Salem Kirban, Satan's Mark Exposed, p.46)
If a biochip is indeed the mark, chances are it would be invisible.
There are biochips that can be "illuminated" through the skin, but
these are not viable for implants because:
They would need a battery or energy source to "illuminate" the mark.
To make it visible it would have to be very powerful for a small
biochip
For it to be effectively visible, it would need to be "illuminated"
100% of the time. A battery would "drain" very quick.
Because of the REASON for the mark (wor****p and allegiance of the
beast), I believe the "mark" will be "loud and proud". The Bible refers
to the Antichrist's "mark" as "HIS" mark, the mark "OF THE BEAST" and
the mark of "HIS Name". The "mark" of the antichrist is "his mark" of
wor****p and allegiance. He'll certainly want to "show it off". Making
it invisible would defeat his purpose.
Notice how the Bible "words" Revelation 15:2:
"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that
had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his
mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass,
having the harps of God." Revelation 15:2
The wording of ". . . them that had gotten the VICTORY. . . over his
mark, and over the number of his name. . ." certainly sounds as if the
mark will be very visible and overbearing during the tribulation. By
the way, did you also "catch" that ". . . over the number of his name.
.. ."? The number "666" will also be "loud and proud" during the
tribulation.
Another biochip error. . .
The "guru" of the "biochip-mark of the beast" teaching is Terry Cook.
Jack Van Impe says of Cook, "undoubtedly the most qualified expert on
the subject of the mark of the beast." Brother Cook has done a
tremendous amount of valuable research on the biochip. Even though I
don't believe the biochip is the mark of the beast, his book is loaded
with tons of excellent, do***entation on the biochip.
Terry Cook writes:
"It is my well-researched opinion that the Mark of the Beast, as
related in scripture, is absolutely literal. Soon, all people on earth
will be coerced into accepting a Mark in their right hand or forehead.
I am convinced that it will be an injectable passive RFID transponder
with a computer chip - a literal injection with a literal electronic
biochip "mark". . . I believe that such an implanted identification
mark literally will become Satan's Mark of the Beast, as we will
discuss further in this chapter." (Terry Cook, The Mark of the New
World Order p. 587)
Terry Cook's main reasoning for the biochip follows:
"And he [the Antichrist beast] causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in
their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had
the mark,. . . count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a
man [Antichrist]; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
[666] Revelation 13:16-18 (KJV)
Pay particular attention to the above scripture that says the mark will
go in - not on - the right hand. This is the key to correct
understanding of the technology that must be used to carry out its
implementation."(Terry Cook, The Mark of the New World Order p. 587)
Brother Cook says "the key" is that the Bible says "IN" not ON the
right hand.
But what about Revelation 20:4?
Revelation CLEARLY says ". . .UPON their foreheads, or in their hands.
.. ."
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto
them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not wor****pped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark UPON their foreheads,
or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years. Rev. 20:4
The word "UPON" in Rev. 20 is clearly a reference to a visible mark.
Remember what I said was the main error when studying the mark of the
beast. . . Most people NEVER go beyond Revelation 13:16-18. If Terry
Cook would have only gone 7 more chapters, he would have CLEARLY seen
- the "mark" is "UPON their foreheads".
What about the word "IN"? The mark of the beast will be "IN" and "UPON"
their foreheads and hands. One explanation, even a simple tattoo goes
"IN" the skin and goes "UPON" the skin. It can be IN and it can be UPON
and it will be SEEN.
The phrase "in their right hand" or "in their hands" doesn't
necessarily mean "underneath the skin". In fact, it normally refers
simply to the "inside" or "in the hand". A simple comparison of a few
scriptures in Revelation yields this valid interpretation:
"And he had in his right hand seven stars:. . ." Rev 1:16
"And he had in his hand a little book open..." Rev 10:2
". . . and in his hand a sharp sickle." Rev 14:14
". . . having a golden cup in her hand. . . Rev 17:4
Notice a couple of other valid uses of the word "in" with forehead:
And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang
it, and smote the Philistine IN his forehead, that the stone sunk into
his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. 1 Sam. 17:59
And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him,
and, behold, he was leprous IN his forehead, and they thrust him out
from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had
smitten him. 2 Chron. 26:20
A serious error in Terry Cook's reasoning. . .
Terry Cook also writes:
"The English word mark (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible,
No. 5480) is from the Greek word charagma (pronounced Khar'-ag-mah).
Charagma is connected by The Expanded Vine's Expository Dictionary of
New Testament Words to stigma, Strong's No. 4742, in which Strong's
references stigma back to the Greek word stizo, then defines stizo as
follows:
.. . . to prick, stick, incise, or punch for recognition of owner****p. .
.. Scar of service: a mark [emphasis added].
This is perhaps the best definition of HOW the Mark of the Beast will
be given to everyone." (Terry Cook, The Mark of the New World Order p.
587)
Big, big problem with Cook's reasoning. Every time the word "mark"
appears in the book of Revelation, it is the Greek word charagma. It is
NEVER the Greek word stigma. Not in any manuscript ever found. It's
interesting that Brother Cook does NOT give the definition of the Greek
word charagma.
charagma: a scratch or etching, i.e. stamp (as a badge of servitude),
or sculptured figure (statue): - graven, mark (Strong's Exhaustive
Concordance)
charagma denotes "a stamp, impress," translated "mark" in Rev. 13:16,
etc. (Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words)
Charagma is very strong evidence for a "mark" or "stamp", rather than a
biochip implant.
Also, Brother Cook's statement, "Charagma is connected by The Expanded
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words to stigma, Strong's
No. 4742,. . ." - IS NOT TRUE. Vine's does not "connect" stigma to
charagma. In The Expanded Vine's Expository Dictionary under the work
"mark", Vine's simply lists the Greek words translated "mark" -
charagma and stigma. Stigma is translated "mark" in Galatians 6:17. Our
word stigma, stigmatism comes from this word.
>From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks
[stigma] of the Lord Jesus. Galatians 6:17
There is no connection to stigma and charagma. Brother Cook re-defining
"mark" as "stigma" rather than "charagma" to prove his point, when
it's not there, is dishonest and corrupting the Word of God (2 Cor.
2:17). This is a very serious and dishonest error. Unfortunately,
he's not alone, many "modern" Bible teachers do likewise. Please
don't fall for this. Check every man out with the King James Bible.
(Rom. 3:4) It's amazing how many prophecy teachers like Van Impe,
Texe Marrs, Peter Lalonde, et al that quote Terry Cook, without
checking out his teachings with the Word of God.
Let me also say this. I have nothing against Terry Cook, personally (or
anyone else). The reason for "refuting" his statements is because he is
the "authority" of the "biochip-mark" teaching. And he is wrong. And he
is misleading people.
After all we've just read and studied "disproving" the biochip as the
mark of the beast - now comes a "curve ball".
Even though I do NOT believe the biochip is THE mark of the beast - I
believe the biochip could be the method utilized to CONTROL the "buying
and selling" of Rev. 13:18.
In other words, the mark of the beast and the biochip are NOT the same.
Here's a possible scenario:
Everyone would eventually receive a biochip. At first it would probably
be voluntary. Later, for your benefit and convenience (ever heard that
before?) it would be law - mandatory. It's a fact, the world is
very quickly (like in "speed of light") going to a digital or
E-economy, thanks to the Internet. (Lord willing, we'll do***ent this
in another article). According to International Data Cor****ation, the
Internet's leading provider of growth statistics, ". . . by 2003 80
percent of all business transactions will be carried out online. . . 2
million [US Dollars] will change hands every minute." (IDC Re****t, Oct.
05, 1999)
What's "holding-up" the E-commerce world?
Why it that most people will not purchase on the Web despite many major
vendors selling on the web?
What it is that many software and hardware giants like Microsoft, IBM,
and company are working "day and night" on?
It's call IDENTIFICATION and SECURITY . . .
Is a biochip a possible solution to the "identification and security"
dilemma facing the digital economy?
Many experts are "trumpeting" the biochip, as the "great security
hope".
Network World,(August, 31, 1998), carried an article titled, "A chip in
his shoulder" by Fred McClimans, which point-blank stated, " . . . the
answer is chips. Let's face it, the potential value is too great. . .".
"But look on the bright side: Who wouldn't want to stop worrying about
where they put their keys or Mobil Speed Pass? And no more remembering
pesky PINs, passwords or social-security numbers. Medical information
could also be dumped onto your forearm chip. We could even probably
away with those pesky "home arrest" bracelets used to monitor the
criminal element in their own homes (imagine how different the Caine
Mutiny would have been if Queeg had had chips in all of his crew - no
strawberry problem there!). . .
So perhaps the answer is to use this type of new bio-security device to
accurately track information regarding what we are doing, and who is to
accurately track information regarding what we are doing, and who is
actually doing it. . . Let's say we all get together and implant
everybody with these new chips.
Are they safe? Sure - they've been using variations to track dogs for
some time now.
Sadly, I think the answer is chips. Let's face it, the potential value
is too great. . ." (Fred McClimans, A chip in his shoulder, Network
World, August, 31, 1998)
A&E (Arts and Entertainment Cable Channel), aired a two-hour program
titled "The Story of Money" (aired early 1999) here's part of the
transcript:
Narrator: Everyday trillions of dollars are moved in less time than it
takes you to screw up your transaction at the automated teller machine.
More and more money is going digital. . . Some imagine everything you
own will one day be tied to a single easy to use card, or even in a
computer chip, implanted in your skin. . .
Narrator: The E-money future, however, isn't necessarily secure. The
Internet wasn't built to be Fort Knox. In the wrong hands, this
powerful tool can turn dangerous. Hackers have already broken into bank
files that were 100% secure. One cyber-pirate downloaded 20,000 credit
card numbers, courtesy of the phone company.
Frank Abagnale (Forgery Expert): The problem is, if we have such
tremendous fraud with paper we can only expect even much bigger frauds
with electronics. In electronics you're dealing with people from all
over the world that have access through computers and the internet to
thousands of accounts and there's really no way of making the system
foolproof.
Narrator: E-money entrepreneurs are hoping to solve the problem of
safeguards with even more electronics.
Unidentified banker: The golden rule in banking is know thy customer.
Narrator: Know thy customer, and then scan their eyeballs into a
computer. Your eyes are like fingerprints and by recording them, a
company can confirm your identity and your bank balance.
Narrator: But how far will it go. Pretty far, actually.
Neil Marcous (EDS): You'll simply have the chip embedded. You'll do a
retina scan or some other kind of bio-scan, you'll validate who you
are, you'll have your information, it'll transmit and you can conduct
all your business, literally against a ledger, an electronic ledger
somewhere.
Note: If anyone knows the Future of electronic money, it would be the
people at EDS. Over 90% of all electronic payments travel through EDS
- over 25,000 transactions every 5 minutes!
Narrator: Did you say embedded?
Neil Marcous (EDS): Well, it could be embedded any number of places,
for sake of artistic license, let's say it was embedded under your skin
up above your left eyebrow.
Listen to it
Yes. It certainly appears the biochip is coming soon - in a hand near
you!
If people are coerced into receiving a biochip to perform the necessary
everyday functions, such as financial transactions, medical insurance,
security, identification, tied into a global, centralized computer
system, it would be a simple matter for the Antichrist to "disable"
your ability to "buy or sell".
But then again, it could implemented much easier with a "simple"
biometric security system, such as "eye-scan", voice-recognition,
fingerprint, etc. Biometrics are safer and much more secure, and people
would be much more likely to "buy into" the system
But, the "no man might buy or sell" system, might be as simple, visibly
looking to see if someone has the mark.
I know one thing - I don't plan on "hanging around" to find out! (1
Thess. 4:16-18, 1 Cor 15:51-55)
Are humans currently being "biochipped"?
Many rumors are "making their rounds" claiming humans are being
"chipped".
According to The Word & I, rumors at Stanford University claim, "that a
microchip implanted in Chelsea Clinton's neck broadcasts her location
to a satellite. . ." (Craig Dees, Watching From Inside. Vol. 13, The
World & I, 02-01-1998, p. 150)
Of course, as we've already seen, and The World & I also points out,
such biochip "location" technology does not exist.
And the Oklahoma "Baby Killer", Timothy McVeigh, claims the U.S. Army
implanted a computer chip in his buttocks. (I bet some of the parents
whose precious babies were murdered by "Monster McVeigh" would like to
"biochip" a stick of dynamite in McVeigh's buttocks, and light the
fuse. To "murder" and "mutilate" innocent little babies because he's
mad at the government is a sick, wicked, perverted coward.)
Killer Colin Ferguson, (whose racial hatred murdered six people on a
commuter train), in a press-conference, accused the CIA of implanting a
computer chip in his brain.
16 year-old Kip Kinkel, who on May 1998 murdered his parents, two
students and wounded 25 students, said he was just obeying the "voices"
in his head. According to Orin Bolstad, a child psychologist who
examined Kinkel, the "voices" commanded, "You have to kill him. Shoot
him, My dad was sitting at the (breakfast) bar. The voices said, Shoot
him. I had no choice. The voices said I had no choice." After he killed
his mother, Kinkel said the "voices" told him to "Go to school and kill
everybody."
Bolstad said Kinkel believed the "voices" came from, "the devil, a
satellite or a computer chip inserted in his head by the government."
(AP Wire, Nov. 04, 1999)
In 1995, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said that young Prince William,
heir to the British Throne, had a microhip implanted somewhere in his
anatomy to discourage would-be kidnappers. (Texe Marrs, Project
L.U.C.I.D. p. 111)
According to Electronic Telegraph (Oct. 6, 1998), Italian dignitaries,
who fear kidnapping are having biochips implanted in their bodies so
authorities can locate them if kidnapped. Originally designed by
Israeli spy-experts, Gen-Etics is launching the "Sky-Eye" chips in
Milan, Italy. The Times of London, describes "Sky-Eye" as a low-power
chip that utilizes electrical energy from the human body. Gen-Etics
claims, 45 of the world's richest are carrying "Sky-Eyes". When asked
the "64-million-dollar" question - What prevents the kidnappers from
removing the chip? Gen-Etics says, they're working on a "sure-fire"
solution. Already, the chip is inserted under an anesthetic and even
the implantee doesn't know where it's located. Also, the chip is only 4
mm by 4 mm, making it hard to detect via x-rays.
Conspiracy Nation (Vol. 8, No. 97) allegedly, intercepted an
"official", high-level, IBM do***ent that re****ts pilot-testing
implants in prisoners in Texas, Massachusetts, and California. The
highly-classified IBM do***ent re****ts prisoners were unknown "guinea
pigs" of the biochip titled "20/20 Neural Chip".
Arizona Republic (July 20, 1989, p. B1) re****ts of private investigator
Jack Dunlap's plan to microchip and track children. The system, titled
KIDSCAN, would enable the authorities to locate a missing child.
Arizona Republic writes, "Each child whose parents signed up for
KIDSACN would get a computer chip planted under the skin and an
identification number." According to Dunbar, Pennsylvania investors
were prepared to invest $600,000 and military-industrial powerhouse,
Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc. was prepared to produce the chips.
In the end, Martin Marietta backed out and Dunbar's KIDSCAN came to
naught. As Parascope comments on Dunlaps' failed KIDSCAN, "The year was
1989. Perhaps the idea came before its time. But as the technology for
such tracking systems continues to advance, more and more companies are
eyeing the potentially lucrative human tracking market."
A very interesting and "enlightening" case recently popped up in a
Worchester, Mass. court in June, 1999.
Reputed mobster, Vincent (Gigi ****talla) Marino took the Federal Drug
Enforcement Administration (FDEA) to court claiming they "had secretly
implanted a microchip tracking device in his body two and a half years
ago during surgery to remove a bullet from his buttocks."
Here's the New York Times re****t on the "unusual" case:
"In an unusual case that unfolded in Worcester, Mass., last week, a
reputed mobster by the name of Vincent (Gigi ****talla) Marino went to
court to find out whether the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration
had secretly implanted a microchip tracking device in his body two and
a half years ago during surgery to remove a bullet from his buttocks.
Prosecutors first argued that the Government was not required to
confirm whether it had done such a thing, but later, after a judge
ordered them to respond, they said the drug agency had not implanted a
microchip in Mr. Marino." (New York Times, June 20, 1999)
What made Vincent Marino believe that the government had "biochipped"
him?
A FDEA agent told him! According to the New York Times re****t - ". .
.. Mr. Marino said a drug agent told him had been implanted by the
Government." Marino is currently in prison, and requesting an MRI scan
to check for a microchip.
Here's the "enlightening" - and the "frightening" part:
"Intriguingly, the Federal Bureau of Investigation would not say
whether it ever uses such tracking devices. 'This is going to fall
into the no-comment category,' said a bureau spokesman, Paul Bresson.
'It's discussing investigative techniques, and that's about akin to a
journalist disclosing confidential sources. It's very sensitive.'
(New York Times, June 20, 1999)
But are humans currently being "biochipped"?
As early as 1967, author Alan Westin was "warning" the possiblity of
humans being "electronically tagged". In the "bible" of "Privacy and
Freedom" Westin writes:
"As the microelectronic circuits and microminiature components now
available in space work and laboratory experiments filter into general
use, such tags will become available in much smaller sizes, increasing
still further the possibilities for secreting them in an individual's
clothing or his personal and professional accessories. Receiving or
scanning units will also grow more powerful and smaller, making it
easier for investigators to carry them in concealed form on their
persons.
.. . . Invisible magnetic-ink tattoos might be applied (for example, to
babies at birth) to provide permanent identification of every
individual; these might possibly be used also for locating a subject.
Existing microminiaturized transmitters the size of a pinhead might be
coded with an identification number, enclosed in a permanent capsule,
and implanted under the skin by a simple and painless surgical
operation." (Privacy and Freedon, Alan F. Westin, 1967, pp. 85-86)
There is no question, biochips are "silently" inching into humans. For
instance, at least 6 million medical devices, such as artificial body
parts (prosthetic devices), breast implants, chin implants, etc., are
implanted in people each year. And most of these medical devices are
carrying a "surprize" guest - a biochip. In 1993, the Food and Drug
Administration passed the Safe Medical Devices Registration Act of
1993, requiring all artificial body implants to have "implanted"
identification - the biochip. So, the yearly, 6 million recipients of
prosthetic devices and breast implants are "biochipped".
ADS (Applied Digital Solutions), a major player in internet e-commerce
and America's 5th fastest growing technology company, recently acquired
the patent rights to the "world's first human implantable digital
device". The implantable device is named "Digital Angel". According to
ADS, it is "the world's first digital device - implantable in humans
- with applicatons in E-business to business security, health care
and criminal justice. Inserted just under the skin, with
maintenance-free regenerating power supply, miniature 'Digital Angel'
has multi-billion dollar market potential." And according to the patent
abstract, "The device is small enough to be implanted in a child,
facilitating use as a safeguard against kidnapping "

If anyone could truthfully answer the question - are humans currently
being "biochipped"? - it would certainly be Donald G. Small, of
Hughes Identification Devices. Hughes Identification Devices is one of
the pioneers and largest suppliers of biochip implants.
"We are not part of a military program to implant tags in humans. In
fact, we are not part of any program to implant tags in humans, but a
glass encapsulated animal tag only begs the question of the definition
of what type of animal, and if that definition is a 'mammal,'
certainly it would include man. Are there humans running around
somewhere on the globe with tags - RFID tags - implanted in them?
Yes! Absolutely, conclusively so."
(Mark of the New World Order video, Virtue Productions)
Listen to it
The first "verified" human receiving a biochip is the highly publicized
Kevin Warwick, professor of Cybernetics at the University of Readings
in the UK. Warwick received a biochip in his arm that enabled doors to
open, turn on-off lights, basically a high-tech-cyber-remote-control.
Warwick told ABC's Good Morning America (August 30, 1998), "People have
been looking at the possibility of humans and silicon chips coming
together for some time. And it seemed about time to actually have a go
at it."
Would you consider having microchips implanted in your body?
Are people ready to "receive" a biochip? Is the world "tuned" to
"receive" a biochip?
When the Social Security program was enacted in 1935, the public was
skeptical. Most people, at first, refused to be "numbered". Less than
40 years ago, something as "seemingly innocent" as receiving a social
security number was met with hesitance and alarm.
What a difference, a "quick" 40 years of credit cards, smart cards,
satellitles, computers and the "information revolution" makes!
Is the public "ripe" for a biochip?
Ann Cavoukian and Don Tapscott, writes in their excellant book, Who
Knows: Safeguarding Your Privacy in a Networked World:
Such a microchip [biochip implant] may strike some of you as a gimmick,
but two doctors in the United States recently had a microchip
containing their respective medical histories implanted in their
bodies, as part of a trial. House pets in Europe and North America are
routinely implanted with microchips that identify their owners. When a
group of internationally renowned privacy experts met to discuss the
privacy implications of the information highway, they expressed concern
that 'these tracking systems will be adapted to humans. The conversion
would not be difficult'. Among the many who shared this view was Simon
Davies, the director general of Privacy International, who was dismayed
that a number of professionals he had spoken to would not object to
such a tracking system. . . (Ann Cavoukian and Don Tapscott, Who Knows:
Safeguarding Your Privacy in a Networked World, pp. 83-84)
Linda LeSabre, singer of the rock group Death Ride 69, says:
"I love technology, and to me it's not moving fast enough. I think it
would kick a__ to have all the things like implants and upgrades
because the human body is okay, but it certainly doesn't have the
incredible hyper-capabilities that we could really use." (Alternative
Press)
The rock group, Iron Maiden sings in their song "The Number of the
Beast" - "666, the number of the beast, 666, the one for your and
me". ****rts such as "666 Volunteer", "666", and "Route 666" are being
worn by "eager and ready" young people. For more info see "Rock Music
and 666".
Craig Dees, in the World & I, says:
Today's implantable microchip devices used for identifying animals are
the precursors of devices that may monitor, re****t on, and even
regulate a spectrum of conditions in the bodies of animals and humans.
.. .
Implantable microchip devices offer many exciting possibilities in the
fields of medicine and scientific research, as well as for general use
involving, for example, credit card numbers or pass****t identification.
.. .
I can see in the near future putting my hand over a grocery store
sensor that reads my credit chip and automatically debits my account
for the purchase. Considering the burdensome number of cards,
identifications, and licenses I carry now, I would have no problem with
placing my Social Security number, credit access, pass****t, and
driver's license on a microchip implanted in me.
(Craig Dees, "Watching From Inside", The World & I, Feb. 01, 1998, p.
150)
Paul Somerson writes in PC Computing:
"How'd you like to avoid waiting in lines for the rest of your life?
Breeze through everywhere like you owned the place. Watch lights snap
on, doors open automatically, money pop out of ATMs as you approach.
Never have to show an ID, buy a ticket, carry keys, remember a
password. You'd leave stores loaded with packages and waltz right
past the ca****ers. You wouldn't have to carry a wallet. Ever. Family
and friends could find you instantly in any crowd. There's only one
catch-you'd need to have a tiny little chip implanted in your body.
No big deal. . .
(Paul Somerson, "Inside Job", PC Computing, Oct. 1999, p. 87)
A very informative "Mark of the Beast" "spoof" was recently staged on
the Internet by Bill Cross.
Bill wanted to try his hand at setting up a website. Bill decided for
his first project, "a spoof website of a company peddling the mark of
the beast". So Global Monetary was created with the advertising "Become
an ID chip member and Receive $250!". Not wanting to cause real panic,
Bill admittedly laced the site, "with enough clues so that anyone who
scrutinized it would know it wasn't for real and would therefor not
panic." Bill was surprized, "On the first full day of operation the
site had more that 4,200 distinct user sessions averaging 6 minutes
each". Emails began pouring in from hysterical Christians, privacy
enthusiasts, the media world requesting interviews, and many who
recognized it was simply a "joke".
Realizing things were getting "out of hand", after just four days, Bill
"pulled the plug" on Global Monetary.
Bill also made this "alarming" statement, "I realized that I was
getting another kind of visitor to the site: People who actually wanted
to receive the mark of the beast just to get in on the IPO. I was
totally blind-sided by that. I never expected that to happen. . ."
CNN conducted a poll on Jan. 14, 1999, and asked the question: "Would
you consider having microchips implanted in your body?"
Here's the "surprizing" results of the CNN Poll:
