Forbidding companies from forcing employees to have microchips implanted in their bodies isn’t just about protecting personal freedom; it might ward off the biblical “mark of the beast,” according to a lawmaker who’s pushing for such a ban in Virginia.

The Mark
“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark•Strongs 5480: charagma, khar´-ag-mah; from the same as 5482; a scratch or etching, i.e. stamp (as a badge of servitude), or scupltured figure (statue):—graven, mark. , or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
—Revelation 13:17
The state House overwhelmingly approved Del. Mark Cole’s bill Wednesday. Several other states already have similar laws or are considering them.
Cole said the right to privacy was the main reason he sponsored the bill. “I just think you should have the right to control your own body,” Cole told The Washington Post. Some liberal bloggers were struck by such a pro-choice sentiment coming from a Virginia Republican. But what really got attention around the blogosphere was the other concern he expressed.
“My understanding — I’m not a theologian — but there’s a prophecy in the Bible that says you’ll have to receive a mark, or you can neither buy nor sell things in end times,” Cole explained to the Post. “Some people think these computer chips might be that mark.”
The Book of Revelation describes the rise of an antichrist figure called “the beast” as the end of the world approaches and will require everyone to “receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.”
Cole isn’t alone. In Tennessee, Rep. Susan Lynn, who’s sponsoring a similar bill, acknowledged the religious aspect of the debate.
“In the Christian religion, and I’m a Christian, in the book of Revelation, there was a reference to, you know, the Mark of the Beast. Some people interpret that to be one of these microchips,” the Republican lawmaker told the Nashville Scene blog. “Other people think it could be some type of tattoo.”
Georgia’s Senate approved a ban on forced implants last week. That legislation was sponsored by two aptly named lawmakers: Sens. Chip Rogers and Chip Pearson.
The microchips — which are about the size of a grain of rice and are also known as radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags — have been used for more than a decade, primarily in pets and livestock, but also some humans.They can be used to store personal ID or medical records.
Although California, North Dakota and Wisconsin already have laws on the books, chip implant ban skeptics such as Virginia Del. Bob Brink don’t see the need. The Democrat called Cole’s bill “a solution in search of a problem.”
“If Virginia is starting to use California as our legislative role model, it’s a sign that our legislative apocalypse has arrived,” Brink added.

It’s almost certain that the micdrochip implants are the Biblical ‘mark of the beast.’
As we apporach 2012 -what is likely to happen is that Vladimir Putin will
come back to power in Russia. Putin will eventually become the ‘biblical’
Antichrist ( or beast). By that time the world economy will be almost completely devastated.
Putin will ‘reinvigorate’ the world economy- and he’ll force everyone who wishes to have food,shelter, etc to accept the ‘mark of the beast’ or chip implant-through this means the Satanists will have control over every human being whose names have not been written in the ‘Lamb’s book of life.’ Many people
who are faithful to Christ will be killed or starved.
Putin will use all forms of technology to become world Dictator-his reign of terror will be greater than all the Evil rulers of the past- greater than Hitler
-greater than Stalin.
We are on the very verge of the beginning of the real Biblical Apocalypse-by
the time 10 more years have passed-the civilization of the Western world will
be destroyed from the face of the earth. Anyone who willingly accepts the ‘mark of the beast’ will share the fate of evil men-it’s that simple.

If the bible says it will happen then it WILL happen. When I first read about a cashless time I thought that was silly and now look at the world. Stay close to God because He knows everything and we can only guess what the mark might be.
