Gold is Money
not paper, not electronic credits, and not chips.
Revelation 13:16 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:
Revelation 13:17 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.
Revelation 13:18 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. (666)
Using the extended meanings of the original Greek text, Michael E. O'Brien
of highpraise.com (a now dead link) created an alternate possible translation
given of Rev. 13: [16] He [the second beast] caused everyone, small and
great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive an etching of servitude
(made with a sharp point) in their right hand, or in their foreheads;
[17] so that no one could buy or sell unless they had the etching of servitude,
or the authority of the beast, or the number of his authority. [18] Here
is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the pebbles as the number
of the beast, for it is an individual's [identification] number. His
number is incised with a pricking action - willingly - by one claiming
to possess the Godhead...
In the USA, 98-99% of all transactions are already cashless, and cash
represents about 1-4% of bank deposits. Smart cards and biochip pet implants
are in wide use in Europe. Many Christians strongly suspect that this "mark
of the beast" prophesy will be implemented by technology that exists today,
the biochip implant (syringe implantable microchip/lithium transponder),
or an invisible tatoo designed to go in the right hand or forehead.
Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed
them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image,
and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Revelation 14:10 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:
Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth
up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here
are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
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 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 worshipped
his image.
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
worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning
with brimstone.
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 worshipped 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.
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again
until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part
in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they
shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years.
Taking the mark violates Old Testament laws:
Lev 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the
dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Personally, I don't think the Social Security number IS the mark of the
beast, but I do believe that the mark will incorporate the Social Security
numbers that everyone already has, and I do belive that Social Security
numbers are evil, legally voluntary, and should be rejected as soon as possible
by Christians everywhere.

THE SEAL OF GOD
Vs THE MARK OF THE BEAST -- I disagree with a few points this site makes
(they say the mark has nothing to do with technology, whereas I believe the
biochip technology certainly makes the idea more plausable), but they will
send you a FREE BOOK if you email them.
THE MARK OF THE BEAST
666 the "Mark of the Beast" is not merely an economic decision, but also
implies acceptance and worship of the Satan-possessed Anti-Christ, and a pledge
of allegiance to his anti-God global regime.

My Personal Summary of Important Points about
the Mark of the Beast, and a few more Bible Quotes.
Syringe Implantable Transponders
& Smart Cards in Non-religious websites:
(The world will eventually have to engage a full-scale propaganda effort
to promote these chips, and to counter and reject and ridicule what the Bible
says in Revelation Chapters 13, 14, 16, 19, and 20 as listed above.)

Look at what the Bible and others have to say about "buying and selling"
or, in other words, money.
Our Fiat-money system of Fraud and Debt and the evils of
usury, the Fed, and the IRS:
The Money Issue The
colonies in america were rich until the Bankers of England took their money
away...
[Rev 3:17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable,
and poor, and blind, and naked:
[Rev 3:18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
that thou mayest be rich..." --Jesus Christ
