Prophecy Update #456 – Chipping Away

Every Sunday we present a prophecy update.  We show how news and trends in the world corroborate centuries-old prophecies you read in the Bible.

Fully 80% of the Bible’s approximately 2500 prophecies have been fulfilled to the letter.  The prime example I would give, in modern times, is the miraculous rebirth of Israel as a nation in her ancient homeland.

The remaining 20% of yet-to-be fulfilled prophecies have to do with the Last Days in which we are living.  Some of them have to do with a system of commerce that requires every citizen to have some type of personal identifier on them or in them.  Without this “mark,” a person will be unable to buy or sell anything.

We don’t know what this “mark” will be, but we find it more than interesting that the technology exits to implement a system like this right now.  In fact, there are several things in development, and in use, that seem like they could become this “mark.”

A recent article posted on an RFID-industry website was titled, Implanted RFID Chips in Humans being Taken to Whole New Levels.

Excerpts:

SCDigest has written several times in the past about humans getting RFID implants, such as a man named Amal Graafstra did in the state of Washington in 2010.

Graafstra had two different chips embedded, one in each hand, and he uses this technology to open his garage door, turn on his computer and much more by simply waving his hand at them.

Then earlier this year, we ran a story on how Graafstra is now the president of Dangerous Things, a company which designs, sells and sometimes installs its own line of implantable RFID chips.

It turns out all the publicity Graafstra generated from his implants led to many calls from others around the world interested in chips for themselves.  In 2013, Graafstra decided he could make a real business out of it.

“I needed a way to help people out who were contacting me and make it worth my while,” said Graafstra.  “Our premise here is to upgrade your life.  Open your doors, your cars and your computers [with a chip].”

Graafstra said his bootstrapped company as of June had sold more than 10,000 implantable RFID chips and the do-it-yourself kits to install them under the skin to people across the globe. Each kit costs about $100.00, and includes the tag itself, an antiseptic, and injection tool needed to install it under the skin. Four different types of chip implants are available.

Read the Bible and you see a prediction of a mark by which all business will be transacted.

Read the news and you see the trend towards technology that sounds eerily like the mark.
In the future seven-year Tribulation, that you read about in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, everyone participating in society will be forced to swear allegiance to the Antichrist or be cut-off from all commerce.  The “mark” will be “the mark of the beast.”

We will not be on the earth for any portion of those seven years.  Jesus promised to come and get us; to raise the dead in Christ, and to rapture living believers.

It is presented in the Bible as an imminent event.

Are you ready for the rapture?  If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.  Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
