Hello Doves,

I just read an article from Jack Kinsella about the book of Revelation and the Mark.  He basically stated that the early church was incapable of grasping many of the prophecies in the book because of how precise and technically advanced those prophecies are.  He also states that we can grasp it as the technology is now capable of doing everything the Mark is said to do.  Well, he is wrong.  I just went over everything I can think of with what I would do to implement the Mark and the overall infrastructure just isn't there yet.

The implantable RFID chip

As of today, the chip manufactured by Digital Angel (Verichip) will not fully work.  I am sure those enthusiasts out there would disagree, but the point is that the chip doesn't have a battery strong enough to broadcast its data more then a few inches from its location under the skin.  More then likely it will be a type of "passive" rfid chip anyways.  Passive RFID means it doesn't have any battery at all, but gets its power from the signal sent to it.  Making it's return signal strength even less.  With that said, there is something else out there that is an even better choice for the Mark, its called Skinplex.  It was developed by a German company and uses the skin as it's transeiver and receiver.  This means that the chip can be placed anywhere on the body and has a signal radius of half a meter from the person (not just the chip).  It is with this technology that we can do away with locks on our doors.  The door would sense us coming and unlock itself.  Sensors can be set around windows as well.  That way if a theif does manage to break in, the house can log who entered and from where (it would eliminate detective work and apprehending the wrong guy).  YOu could also program your vehicle to only start with you sitting in the driver seat and no one else.

Besides buying and selling, personal security would be enhanced and so goes with all the recent increase in Identification Theft.  No one can pretend to be you, because they won't have your chip and if implemented the way I see it implemented, they won't have your hand either.  You see Skinplex also needs to be powered in some function or another, they suggest that a small electric current be applied to the skin.  You just place your right hand down onto the scanner and it will scan your hand and provide that low electrical current to your skin. This will allow you to guard against people stealing your "number" and using a modified chip of their own.  This of course assumes that there is enough chips to go around (currently 6+ billion) and enough sensors for the stores, hospitals, police offices, and individual people.  Even at 1 billion people, that would be quite an accomplishment to do in any short amount of time.
