So according to my uncle, it looks like the world is preparing to implant a microchip into people, and imprison anyone that refuses to take it. I guess if everything goes according to the Government plan, it looks like the start of Revelation will occur in 36 months, so what do you guys think about the possibility of living in the end times.
Be it truly the "end of times" that would be great! :dsunny: :banana:
Where is your uncle getting his information?

Nah, too many people with too much pride.
Are you afraid of being chipped? We walk around with cell phones with GPS that tell where we are at all times. The Lordship of Jesus Christ is greater then any consort of man. Don't fear the chip.
I don't fear the end times. Our word is love. Love is how we will live and die.
Revelation says "Blessed is he who reads this......"
If you are interested in an exhustive study I suggest
REVELATION SERIES by J. Preston Eby.

It has helped me a lot. Some people just have a gift for getting study. I don't. I keep it simple with the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and love.
.
as far as I'm concerned...the 'beast mark/nature' is a spirit imprint of the carnal/corrupt nature in the flesh
of men..since the beginning in the garden...and we can NOT live unto God with it..caaause it is sin/death.
under the law..if a beast but touch the Mountain of God he is to be stoned.
this 'mark' of sin can be blotted out by the name of Jesus Christ..and His name on your forehead and
hand...............the man with the 'inkhorn' goes about 'marking' such ones that groan about the evil that
is done under the sun of this world.
now..do I beleive 'the prince of this world..who's work's are wicked" is at work in men devising all sorts
of wicked schemes.....to manifest physically their spiritual agenda? yep.
through computors,chips,nanochipsbio-computor technology they seek to control men...but guess what?
the adversary wicked contrast..is exactly that...an artificial intelligence program..that has been
manipulating man..from the beginning....a mere 'tool' to provide the negative contrast to God's positive
nature. Isaaih 54;16....... man had to advance technologically to fully understand and grasp what
God did when He made the adversary/evil contrast tool...in our age of robotics,androids etc..we can
comprehend....artificial intelligence......malware if you like......man/machine........ mind boggling
it all is. But that we may grasp mentally just what this adversarial 'tool' is that Father made to provide
the wicked contrast..for our exercize in evil.. Fact is stranger then fiction at times,huh?

Well he does a lot of reading on the internet and apparently it is already happening. Of course we all looking forward to the day of peace and unity within God, but I never imagined in my wildest dreams that the end times could occur so early in my life. I'm anxious for myself and for my family. If this is the mark of the beast and I refuse it, then death is what awaits me and if my family refuses, they too will be put to death. If we accept the mark, we will suffer God's wrath.
Please explain to me where it is happening as your uncle states so catagorically? Also, how would an ancient prophesy that had so concept of electricity have the knowledge to describe the concept of a microchip that would tie them to Satan? Ridiculous. This is a modern and flawed interpretation from most likely and unstable man. In the 80's they said we would be bar coded and that never happened. You have to stop wasting your time on these conspiracy fairy-tales. It is all a distraction to take your attention away from Christ within you and putting off of the old man carnal nature which is the main battle we should be sowing our efforts into.

Breaking News: The story came from National Report, a satirical news site, but a lot of other sites jumped on the "news" and reported it . On that note, the mark of the beast may indeed be a technological implant, but John wouldn't know what it is. He was only able to identify by what he knew and could only talk about it in the language of what people understood.
:eek:Chip! Egads :eek: Chip worry and wring the hands.... :eek: Chip...Chip...Chip. Quit buying into the STUFF. :2c:
I almost NEVER "buy into the STUFF" but because of Sheila's request for prayer for the "world in this time of great darkness" and lomarah's reference to the huge shaking of heaven and earth that is about to take place and the Holy Spirit speaking to me through a horrific dream (The Holy Spirit has never before spoken to me through a dream!!!) of the coming judgment on all the mixture (truth and error) within even the believers and even though I don't see the FDA chip as the mark of the beast, I couldn't just dismiss this 'end times scenario" ... see the www. endtimes thread for what I believe the Holy Spirit laid on my heart.
Mark. Also a badge or method of service. A work, a sign, an identification.
Exo 13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
Exo 13:8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
Exo 13:9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
Exo 13:14 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
Exo 13:15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
Exo 13:16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
Ecc_3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
Rom_16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Php_3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
These things are to be understood as spiritual. A way of life, a way of work, such as taking advantage of others by lying about their goods and pricing and so on. A lifestyle that is worldly and self aggrandizing. Oscars, tony's, stanley cups, world series rings, etc. All these mark the interests and parts of the nature of those who seek them and are "glorified" as above others somehow, and yet owe their ability to do anything to genetics and mainly and firstly to the fact that they have the Spirit of life from God in them. Fraudulent Banks and the stock market are rife with these marks. They can be clearly seen by all who understand these marks. Slave keepers, the well fed when some are hungry and within their reach, etc.
Jewelry, 500,000 dollar engagement rings, then divorce a year or two later and fights over who gets the valuable ring, etc. All marks of the beast. Natural Adam to the nth degree.
2Pe_2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
Jud_1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
Rev_7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Rev_9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
If everything can be understood without any bogeymen or demons, and there is another understanding of man that has demons and so on, which one would a Christian think was the truth about their God. Which explanation? I would say it SHOULD be the one without any dark unseen spiritual bogyman or spiritual demons, wouldn't you. God is good. Nothing like that in His Kingdom.

:cloud9: Fear mongering over the mark at it's best (or worst). First of all, we were ALL (humankind) born with the marks. They are called the carnal mind and the works of the flesh.
Both of which are done away with ****gradually**** as the wisdom of the Spirit of God quickens us by giving us the mind of Christ, and changing the works of our hands, to the works of HIS hands, ie. the Holy Ghost does the works.
Don't worry about what's going on *out there*; worry about what's going on within YOU. Keep your eyes on Him and His Word. The darkness in the world HAS to increase, because the wheat (Christ in us, the hope of glory) is increasing, and the wheat and the tares are raised up together. Blessings....
Yes. Good words Cardinal. The man of sin in our temple is ADAM, natural Adam. Until we see him *entirely* we will not be gathered to the DAY OF THE LORD. 2thessalonians 2:1ff. It is the "mystery of iniquity" that hides him from us when we do not know the full truth about God and we think some attributes and ways and desires that are strictly and only carnal are spiritual. We are deceived quite naturally by the serpent in our flesh, the law of sin.
Where Christ Jesus says he is coming to destroy the sinner is the place where the nature of the sinner sits or resides. In our own spirit. Carnal Christians, quite in ignorance often, do and say things they believe are Christ but they are mistaken and as such they support and offer what is a lie as if it was the truth. So, just who is this "devil" that was a liar from the beginning.?
God is going to begin to walk with us and teach us from within us, line upon line, by "resurrecting" or restoring what I will for now call a conscience. When we do something wrong, especially when we may not know it is wrong yet, we will begin to feel bad or dark inside, showing us that we are in the dark in that action or thought. Like, God saying, Ken, that is not US. I am not talking about when someone does something hurtful to another by accident, or such. We must also be able to forgive ourselves for such things, knowing it was not intended. If we are not forgiving in our own lives, we can have a problem believing we are forgiven because WE ARE NOT or are having trouble with it.
If one is bothered by something they have said they forgive, IN THEMSELVES, and they feel unforgiven, then tell the thought or feeling, I have talked with God about it and have had it explained to me. I am getting up now and going on toward the love of God.
God bless, donken
