Well, Brad, I asked for that response, didn't I! There's nothing like
our "babbler"!
Thanks. Scarey feeling to think that it will gradually creep up on us,
and I think you're right there.
We just have to watch and pray and leave all of the rest to Him! Oh,
and while we're at it, we just go on preparing for His coming and get
those candles filled up with oil time upon time and brightly shining!
Thanks for your input. You've helped to give me some food for thought
there!
Now I'll be getting long-winded if I continue so I'll stop!

population.
Carol,
You asked why I thought the chip was the mark. Ever since I heard of the
Digital Angel a half a dozen or better years ago or so, and all it could
do I've not just thought, but have what I believe to be a prompting of
the Holy Spirit that this will be it. I have no super formula for
thinking this, just basic scripture regarding the last days as you've
mentioned as well, and a very real prompting I feel from God. For
sometime my wife and I have been watching old reruns via DVD of a TV
show here in the states called Little House on the Prairie. The actual
place in which the real people on which the TV show was based upon took
place here in Wisconsin only about 45 mins from here as well as a couple
towns west of here , one of which loving Pat lives. My wife and I are
both drawn to this show as it is a bit of a relief from the day to day
hub-bub of today. In looking back at how people lived only a 100 years
or so and looking at the enroads and changes that have taken place,
especially after the implementation of computers it is staggering. We
have technology that will read these notes on your computer right
through the walls of your house from the street via magnetic frequency
sensors, of course the RFID in which the article was written, and so
much more we likely do not even know. With the reliance of credit cards
and other electronic money in this day and the power of companies like
Walmart and etc. I believe it could happen within my lifetime yet in
which it be mandatory to have a chip implant to buy or sell. You can
see this by Walmart's demanding that their suppliers have RFID or they
will not buy the products from them. I see similar electronic money in
the vending industry I'm in where in Japan they use Electronic Wallets,
cell phones with electronic money in them where you wave the phone at a
vending machine and make your selection. This chip technology could well
be imposed upon the general public. I'm fourty years old now, I plan to
live at least another of or 50 years, and when you look back at what
things were like 40 or 50 years ago and see the advancements,
impositions and etc. it is plain to me this mark can be upon us within
the next handful of decades. Look at how quickly the security measures
have changed since 911. Much can be accomplished if they wish it to, and
all it takes is a good reason to mandate it in the name of safer kids,
less crime, more efficient disbursement of food in a growing world or
perhaps with the continuation and likely never ending war on terrorism,
a better way to monitor that situation. Of course you and I know
terrorist will find a way around it and leave the imposition of a mark
upon those who are innocent. I agree things will become much more
reliant upon god's intervention to allow his people to survive. I think
of David when Saul was planning to pin him to the wall for the attention
he got for killing more enemies. David found himself in a survival mode
yet relied on God. I believe that is what will occur when the mark is
imposed on people. Of course it will not brought into place by
mandating it right off. It will be brought in as we have seen over the
past years, little blips of it here and there to get people warmed up to
the idea it is coming. Then a slight use of it such as we seen in this
article, or as here in the USA, you cannot buy a dog from a breeder or
from a pound without that pup having a chip in it's ear. After people
have been warmed up to it, they will create an incentive for people to
get it, after an incentive, it will be made much harder and more of an
inconvenience for anyone to get along without it, and finally then they
will mandate it. I am not speaking prophetically as if sent from God, I
just know human nature from living long enough in this world, and
believe God has given me some ability to read the writing on the wall as
it were. I was pondering on this whole idea earlier and I heard or felt
a prompting to say that this mark, will not be like it was with Y2K with
many people, it will not be a big emergency scare, nor a big after
thought of what to do with all the extra stuff bought in preparation. It
is not something temporary in which we can rely on computers to fix the
problem as in Y2K although it was the computers that were meant to be
the problem, but rather this will be a way of life and will continually
be harder to get along as time goes on. Just as anyone, I have no idea
when any of the end times things will take place, and we need be careful
to not falsely proclaim the wars we hear of are the rumors of war talked
about in scripture as wars have taken place since time began. There are
so many things that can be made to fit Scripture's description of latter
days, and we are no doubt in the latter days as was Jesus when he was
here, but we need be watchers as he has said, because he will come
seemingly very fast to those who have not been paying attention. I am
not an alarmist, I am not one given to paranoia, or to get excited about
things at their first appearance as most things in the world are
temporary or will adjust or people make adjustments to and so anxiety
is of no use. But this chip I feel in my heart, is the mark which
Scripture's talks. The size of these chips have gone down over the years
I believe and will be able to be injected. Just think, even going to the
doctor for a shot of meds could risk getting the mark without even
knowing it. None of our governments are past doing so without it's
citizens being aware. Things definitely will get interesting when that
day comes upon people. What then will we , as Christians do and ought we
prepare for such a day if we see it coming? And what preparatins might
we do to protect our families and fellow Christians.
