Plans for a chip implant.
mrsnacks:
I don't hold to the futurist view. I hold to the orthodox preterist view.
My daughter is a senior in high school and she said that they showed her a video in her Government class that showed the plans of implementing everyone getting chip implants. That in the next few years that one cannot buy or sell unless you have this chip. This is all in the works. Plus mandatory vaccinations etc.
This is in her class. So the government is preparing the future generation.
My question is how is the church overall ( who are mainly futurists) going to respond to this ? Will they accept this chip now that it is becoming a reality. I remember many years ago in my prophecy classes when I was a furtuist that christendom was saying "no" to the chip.It was easier to say back then. Now we will see now that the rubber hits the road where people will stand. What do you think ?
YellowStone:
Do not be concerned Mr.Snacks (I love your ID) :)
For we are well informed of this:
Rev 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.
Whether or not the church will accept this mark (chip) is a good question, but if I were a betting man, I would lay odds that they do with open arms. (No pun intended) :)

Hello mrsnacks,
With Revelation being a book of symbols and the fact that we are admonished not to be troubled by the things of the world I would not be overly concerned about this.
Also, the traction this has received of late reminds me of the bar code scare a few years back, this was tied to the mark of the beast as well. Read Ray's article on this topic, it should provide some insight.

If I had a dollar for every time someone tried to scare me with this microchip implant business, I'd be rich!
More "new world order conspiracy" nonsense! the "mark of the Beast" is not physical but spiritual. The "beast' is not some "new world order" conspiracy system ruled by some "Illuminati/Jewish/Bolshevik" network of superrich bankers like Rothschild...the beast is anything that feeds our so-called "human free will" that makes us "like the most High" and that drives us farther away from God, where we try to be God. The "powers-that-be" are leading us through the nose with all thse allusions to some kind of "beast system" (including calling some supercomputer in Brussels the "beast computer", and including the notin by some that bar codes have the "666" in their code, and other stuff the power elites make up to feed out fear of this "beast system".)
Just think: the denizens of Mystery Babylon (ie. Christendom) use this conspiracy stuff all the time. I think it was Hal Lindsey who once had a show about whether or not Christians would take implants and thus "take the mark of the Beast". A fringe Christian preacher called Texe Marrs who has written on the "Illuminati Conspiracy" has stated people are already being implanted with these chips so that eventually the "new world order" will "herd" these people into "concentration camps" under Reagan's "Rex 84" program...and another fringe preacher, David J Smith (who believes King Juan Carlos of Spain is the "anti-Christ" and that northern Europeans are "Biblical Israel") says he has seen "white boxcars" with "guillotines" to behead believers (Revelation, of course, talks about saints being beheaded).
Joe you are absolutely correct...we must not worry about the world. Let the world be fearful of these nonsense conspiracies! Just think, 10 years ago, my husband and I (who knew the folks who started that "patriot/militia" "Republic of Texas" movement very very well) were very much caught up in the thick of this stuff to the point where we almost forgot we had two young children to support!
Sorry for the tone of this post...but it irks me that this nonsense is still getting to the body of Christ! :(

Just think. My first Bible class after I accepted the Lord was studying under Hal Lindsey. Scared me to death thinking the Great Trib was about to happen.
But there is a lot of truth to this New World Order. But you are right that we are not to be so concerned with the world's events and what is happening around us and to us. God is in control. But the disciples were very concerned during their time and Jesus answered and comforted them didn't He ?
