Dr. Peter Ruckman wrote a book many years ago called THE MARK OF THE BEAST. It is truly prophetic. In it, he explained why the mark of the beast will be associated with the letter X, the color black, a Kiss, a black SPOT, and a black spotted cat (the anti-christ) - a leopard.

Now, I find it very interesting that the company that markets Verichip - the implantable chip that goes just under the skin - their wholly owned subsidiary company is called XMark Corporation. In the article that Donna Danna speaks of: http://www.raidersnewsnetwork.com/full.php?news=7271 the company speaks of using the verichip for such things as infant tracking (oh yeah - you know - put one in your newborn so if someone STEALS your baby, they can track your baby! You bet your booties! They also talk of mainly using it in the health care industry - e.g. someone comes in comatose in the E.R. and they get a CHIP stuck in them - WITHOUT their approval or knowledge! Then - of course, it will be a matter of time, before EVERYONE who works in the health care system will be required to get this CHIP (or they don't get their license!) and after that - it will become mandatory for EVERYONE! Deception always comes in STAGES. Remember the old story of the frog that is thrown in hot water and he jumps out? But if you put the frog in cold water on the stove and heat the water slowly until it is boiling, the frog will DIE. Oh - Dr. Ruckman's book is still available at his website:
