Name Change For Mark of The Beast Technology - Part I

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: 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. 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. Revelation 13:16-18

In this issue of The Prophetic Messenger, we will start a message titled “Name Change For Mark of The Beast Technology - Part I.”

1. History of the Mark of The Beast Technology

a)RFID

The technology that we have become accustomed to is also fulfilling another scripture in the Bible. In Revelation 13:16-18 (KJV) it says "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." In this passage we see a time coming when no one will be able to buy or sell without "the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." The technology to fulfill this scripture is already here and is called RFID or radio frequency identification. This technology will be able to track everything on the earth. It was developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1999 to help save businesses money in lost, stolen and wasted products. MIT refers to this technology as Auto-ID. As of October 26, 2003 the Auto-ID Center officially closed. They have two separate organizations today. They are called Auto-ID Labs and the EPCglobal, Inc. When the new Auto-ID Labs was first formed they had six labs at some of the world's leading research universities. They are the following: 1. MIT in the US; 2. University of Cambridge in the UK; 3. University of Adelaide in Australia, 4. Keio University in Japan; 5. University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and 6. Fudan University in China. Since then they have added a seventh lab in South Korea called KAIST. Notice how all these labs are located all over the world for easy access.

Here is a quote from their web site "Auto-ID Labs continue the research and development work of designing, building and testing a global infrastructure - a layer on top of the Internet - that will make it possible for computers to identify any object anywhere in the world instantly. This network will not just provide the means to feed reliable, accurate, real-time information into existing business applications; it will usher in a whole new era of innovation and opportunity."(Note 1) For more information about the history of the Auto-ID Labs see their web site at www.autoidlabs.org.

RFID will identify everything on the earth using implanted microchips. These microchips are about the size of the head of an ant with a thin antenna attached. RFID will eventually replace the barcode that is used all around the world to identify products in stores. There are two types of RFID tags or microchips. These are called passive RFID and active RFID. With passive RFID, the tags must be scanned manually in order to be identified. This requires that the RFID items must be in proximity to a reader unit to be identified. With active RFID, the tags incorporate a battery that constantly broadcasts the chip's ID number.

The EPCglobal, Inc. was formed, as stated on the Auto-ID Labs web site, as "a joint venture between EAN International and the Uniform Code Council, Inc." The website states that EPCglobal, Inc "carries forth the research completed by the Auto-ID Center to work toward the development of industry-accepted standards and commercial adoption. The newly formed organization has taken on the mission of working with end users, and hardware, software, and integration solutions providers to build the EPC Network infrastructure and support implementation."(Note 2)

b) Key Supporters for RFID
In “Ubiquitous Is Here - Part I” in the January/February 2004 issue of the Prophetic Messenger newsletter, we looked at the original Auto-ID Center and how they had almost 100 global companies, sponsors, and partners to finance and provide support to the development of RFID. We also looked at some key supporters for RFID to show how they are bringing this technology to every product on the earth.

c) FDA Approved For Human Implants
In 2004 the FDA approved the first implantable microchip for humans.

A quote from an article titled “FDA Approves Use Of Implantable Data Chip” states

“The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved an implantable computer chip that can pass a patient's medical details to doctors. VeriChips, radio frequency microchips the size of a grain of rice, have already been used to identify wayward pets and livestock. And nearly 200 people working in Mexico's attorney general's office have been implanted with chips to control access to secure areas containing sensitive documents. Applied Digital Solutions (ADSX) of Delray Beach, Fla., in July asked the FDA for approval to use the implantable chip for medical uses in the United States. The agency had 60 days to reply. In morning trading Wednesday, Applied Digital shares were up 92 cents at $3.04 on the Nasdaq Stock Market — near the middle of their 52-week range of $1.94 to $5. It's the first time the FDA has approved the use of the device, though in Mexico, more than 1,000 scannable chips have been implanted. The chip's serial number pulls up the patients' blood type and other medical information. With the pinch of a syringe, the microchip is inserted under the skin in a procedure that takes less than 20 minutes and leaves no stitches. Silently and invisibly, the dormant chip stores a code — similar to the identifying UPC code on products sold in retail stores — that releases patient-specific information when a scanner passes over the chip. At the doctor's office those codes stamped onto chips, once scanned, would reveal such information as a patient's allergies and prior treatments.”(Note 3)

Memory Verses

As Christians if we want to live in victory and if we want to be able to share the Word Of God with others we must know the Word of God ourselves. Let's see what the Bible says about this. "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:11. "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7. "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed." John 8:31. We encourage you to put the following scriptures in your heart: I Thessalonians 5:9, Zechariah 14:17, II Timothy 2:16, Jeremiah 31:15, Matthew 27:52, Hosea 11:1, Matthew 5:48, II Chronicles 20:3, I Corinthians 12:26, Numbers 14:6. Use only the Old King James version of the Holy Bible. (If you have any questions about this please see the book New Age Bible Versions, by G.A. Riplinger ©1993, ISBN 0-9635845-0-2.)
