[_ Old Earth _] The Mark of the Beast's Network is already in place

<drumroll!!> Another urban myth in the making, folks!! - coming to a neighborhood near you!! :P

Personally, I don't lose much sleep over this sort of stuff - in fact, I rest assured that with over 6 billion ppl worldwide, all these tracking agents will soon be so overwhelmed they'll just bog-down & throw in the towel anyways

Besides, 100% physical marking (or even tracking) of an entire population will never be either feasible or even necessary.

Ever used google earth? http://earth.google.com/ Why do you think that technology exists?
 
I wish more people would realize this. Remember people; angel of light, angel of light...
Excellent point, Vic.
Satan disguises himself all the time, and, like I said, in ways that appeal to the flesh, either insecurites, fear, lust, greed, pride, any number of fleshly emotions that could persuade a person to sell their soul for the mark of the beast.
Just because a company wont tell you all they're up to, doesn't mean it isn't happening.
Look into what IBM is doing.
 
Sure, but Google Earth is basically just global mapping via satellite (which has been around since the 1970's - now available to the public, no less), and even then I don't think there will EVER be the need, or even the capacity to have to watch BILLIONS+ numbers of persons for years on end (passive citizens, uninterested parties - that's the gist of it) thru this method, if that's the suggestion...

I know it's possible - individual persons or vehicles can be tracked, but ......is it really necessary?....and...why??
 
Control.

Dominance of the human race. A lot of people would like to rule the world.

So would satan.

Whoa, wait a minute. That last part. How would it be possible to "look into what IBM is doing" and gain any information, if it is proprietory (secret or withheld)???

Sorry, I'm still not buyin' this. :wink:

Assuming you're addressing my question.....but yes(sorta) - is'nt this just "business as usual"??? Nothing new, really.

...and there are always counterbalancing forces, such as separation of powers, limits of technology, bureaucratic clumsiness, natural forces...etc etc.....???

That's really not too compelling to think it's any different than at previous times.
 
MMan, are you born again? Tell me about the time when you received Jesus Christ into your heart, and you confessed Him as Lord and Saviour of YOUR life.
How do you KNOW you're born again?
What differences has your new life in Christ made for you, for your mind,
your emotions, your life?
 
Speculation is fun isn't it.


Lets think about some things. What can be considered a beast. Aboninal church, government etc. So the beast could be a government. A government that joins with the anti Christ. Now this happens after the rapture so were safe if were good Christians. Chip implants in hands is now legal on humans. They said we could put are account numbers on chips later on, for now its just for medical information. Ever heard of European Union? A government accepting countries, turning them into states of it. They want all the countries in saying hey it will make exchanges easier if we get a one world order, one world currency. This one world order will probably be the beast Revelations is talking about.
 
How about the Catholic church...sitting on the seven mountains of Rome...

The original Greek of Revelation speaks of the anti-christ as one that will mimic and attempt to overthrow Christ.

"Father, I confess, I have sinned..."/ "Your sins are forgiven my son". Takes some nuts for some mere man to utter those words, like he has the power to forgive sin. One that doesn't fear God at all.

Don't get me started on Catholics. Jesus said he is the high Priest and that we repent our sins to him any time any where. Yet Catholics believe you repent to the churches High Priest. It drives me crazy knowing people do this.

I'm convinced the Catholic "church" is the antichrist.

1. Salvation by works.

2. A human has the abilty to forgive your sins.

3. The Popes word supercedes God's.

And on, and on...

Tell your friends that attend Catholic "church"...your doing them a huge favor.

Who cares about political correctness, when your dealing with people's eternal destiny.
 
Can you give examples of where catholics supercedes God's word. I'm not against your idea just wondering what there up too.
 
People may construct all their conspiracy schemes, and some of it may be viable. But to accept the mark of the beast, you must do it with full knowledge of what you are doing, and deny God. If it were a sneaky, and camouflaged thing hardly anyone would recognize it. It will not be something you will take against your will, it will be taken by those who will do so; with their full cooperation. You have to believe in, and accept Christ with your full heart, soul, and mind to be saved, accepting the anti-christ will be none less.

All of these programs we see such as chipping, national ID cards, and such are predecessors of what is to come. A testing process if you will. Something to prepare those who will readily accept the mark, with no reserve of conscience. The more willingly you support, and participate in such programs, the more likely you will be one of those who will willingly take the mark.
