We agree with Patty Hayes that the REAL ID smart card is something to be wary of.

The difference between this smart card and all ID cards before it is the fact that a microprocessor chip is in all multipurpose PIV ( personal identity verification) cards.  This  microprocessor chip is a tiny mobile computer. It computes, meaning it  does mathematical operations.

Now, why would an ID card need to do mathematical operations ? There is no reason for an ID card to do mathematical computations, unless of course it were to deal with figures.

The REAL ID and all PIV smart cards ( passport, driver's license, Health Card, National ID card,
CAC Common Access Card for computer access ) have as their final goal the ability to
make financial transactions for cashless buying and selling.

The PIV - ID smart cards will have holograms embedded in them. The picture of the holder will be a holographic image within the card.

But will there be another image embedded in the smart card ? Will there be his name or number
embedded ? All of these things are warned against by the third angel in Rev. 14:9-11.

Some Christians think that it is only the MARK ( the inserted subdermal chip ) that is warned against by the third angel.

But note carefully that the third angel warns of five things:
1. Not to worship the beast ( follow-ship)
2. Not to take his MARK (the  inserted chip) in their right hand or forehead ( Rev. 13: 16 )
3. Not to transact in his name
4. Nor his number ( 666 ) Rev. 13:18
5. Nor his image. "Image" includes logo.

We can no longer cling to one concept in regards to end-time warnings.
We must hear all the warnings given.

Actually the smart card ( PKI ... Public Key Infrastructure ) is basically a set of keys.

Using your unique ID number, one set of keys opens up all the doors ( databases) associated with your PASSPORT.

Another "key" opens all the doors --or portals-- to your MEDICAL databases.

Another "key" opens up all your records associated with your DRIVER'S LICENSE.

Another " key " will eventually "open" the COMPUTER for ACCESS.

And finally, when everyone is comfortable with their virtual keys opening many doors, the financial "key" will unlock all banking matters : BUYING and SELLING , purchasing online , etc.
We will live in the virtual world of a cashless society.

It all starts out so innocent, and ends up so totalitarian and forbidden.

When is the due date for all Federal employees to have these "interoperability " cards?
By October 27, 2006.

We went to a major mega-church here in the Southland today ( Pastor well known) . They have a bookstore and we wanted to purchase "Spychips" by Katherine Albrecht in Spanish and also in English.

The young woman behind the counter never heard of "rfid" ... nor of "smart cards"... nor of Katherine Albrecht.

We both were grieved in the spirit that here we are at 11:59  ( approaching midnight) on the prophetic clock, and the young woman working in the bookstore of one of the most renowned churches in the Southland didn't have a clue.

We felt sad that the Pastor does not have his flock on the edge of their chairs waiting and watching.

We felt sad that the flock is not seeking to understand technology -- and how it relates to the antichrist system.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6

 Ezekiel 34 is addressed to shepherds ( pastors) and relates well to this incident.

" I will judge between cattle and cattle " ( the flock )  Ezekiel 34:17

"What I say unto you , I say unto all ... Watch" . Mark 13: 37

Here is a tutorial which shows the components of a microprocessor.

 Excellent Tutorial http://www.smartcard.gov/tutorial/tutorial_t1/smartcard_t1.cfm

Note well the divisions on the chip for "Future Use".

May we encourage all who read this to study the potential of the smart card.

Actually the Verichip is in minor league compared with the smart card. The verichip has no microprocessor and can compute nothing. It can only reflect back to a scanner your unique ID number.
Yet it is strictly forbidden in the right hand or forehead ( Rev. 13: 9-11)

The smart card, inserted into a pocket pda with reader--- or any electronic reader terminal --- performs the actual buying and selling. It too is strictly forbidden to be used in the name, number or image of the beast.
( Will one be required to punch in the numbers "666" to perform financial transactions? )  

The smart card is in the major league. To transact in the 666 economic system IS to worship the beast.
That is how we see it.

In Him,
