The article that I will share with you is sure to give you pause if you have ever wavered on whether a primitive book—the Holy Bible—has any relevance in our lives today. If you are a Christian then the story that I share will seem like a page pulled directly out of the book of Revelation. Though many attempt to disregard the Bible and Christianity in general, the one thing that remains their bane is its prophetic writings.

I got this story from the people at WorldNetDaily by Drew Zahn. Before I bring this story to you, let me preface it by sharing the pages from the Holy Bible where I believe this company and their inventors received their wisdom. In the book of Revelations, Christ reveals to the disciple he loves—the Apostle John—how His story ends. This is what Christ told John will take place in the end times.

Rev 13:16  And it causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark on their right hand, or in their foreheads, Rev 13:17  even that not any might buy or sell except those having the mark.

The scripture references a governing body with a sophisticated system requiring everyone to have a mark–as John describes it–in order to engage in commerce. This system would potentially eliminate the need for physical currency.

Where would the Apostle John get such a weird idea regarding a system in which individuals would only be able to buy or sell good unless they have a mark? What does he mean? Here are some possibilities. Here is the story.

A Florida-based company that boasts selling the world’s first and only federally approved radio microchip for implanting in humans is now turning its development branch toward “emergency preparedness,” hoping to produce an implant that can automatically detect in its host’s bloodstream the presence of swine flu or other viruses deemed a “bio- threat.”

VeriChip Corporation currently sells a small, under-the-skin Radio Frequency Identification capsule, or RFID, that patients can opt to have implanted, containing a number computer-linked to their medical records, enabling doctors with a special reader to access the information even if the patient is unconscious or unidentified. The company boasts its microchip, roughly the size of a grain of rice, is the only such implant approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Is this what Healthcare reform will entail? Of course, not; that is ridiculous. Nevertheless, who would think not? When our leaders talk about preventative measures to address Health care, why would they not employ a chip in their patients’ bodies that detects when someone is getting sick? It seems like a cost saving measure.

When I first studied the book of Revelation, I though there is no way anyone would sign up for a chip implant. It would seemed too obvious that they were fulfilling the revelation prophesies. However, as biblical literacy decreases and technological advances soar, things have changed; not to mention the appealing benefits of something like an RFID chip. As we have clearly noticed, their capabilities are so compelling, who will resist? These chips have the ability to detect disease in the human body; an important need for concerned individuals seeking to detect any major illness at inception. Add Capitalism to this mix and companies will compete to make chips that can store all our records like banking, Social Security, GPS locater and every other fantasy of man. Stir in to the mix Government and lobbyist, and then the highest bidder will get the Government to mandate their chips as the preferred chip of choice.

The fact of the matter is, 70% of all our health issues are directly related to what the individual eat. I cannot begin to comprehend the amount of power and control we are laying the foundation for if the US adopts a Public Option, which as the president said in the campaign, “in ten, or fifteen years we will have single payer health insurance the likes of that in Europe.”

In the president’s media blitz a few weekends ago, he compared health insurance to auto insurance. I thought it was a silly parallel considering that mandated auto insurance was for the benefit of the other person. However, as I thought about it more it began to occur to me that the president might have been intentional. Driving is a privilege in America and in order to use Federally Funded roads, we have to abide by their rules. The Government exercise authority over seat belts, whether we can use our cell phones, how much mile per gallon vehicles must get, etc. If Government is funding healthcare we can expect them telling us how much weight we need to loose, the foods we need to eat and what we can and cannot do.  With this kind of technology, we already possess the ability to control behavior; we only need to get the people on board. America is not only the only industrialized nation without a Public Option, it may very well be the last piece of a very disturbing puzzle.

Even though the Apostle John told us exactly what will happen and we are witnessing it right before our eyes, many people still have the tendency to doubt whether the Bible is relevant or whether what it says will happen–even though we see it happening–will actually happen.

The events that are transpiring before our very eyes speak to the relevance of God’s word. Jesus said, “heaven and earth will pass away but a letter from God’s word will not fail.” The Bible is also relevant regarding man’s problem with sin and who has made the provisions for our forgiveness. If you are perfect, I understand, you don’t need Christ, but for the rest of us who do things we promised not to do; those of us who disappoint ourselves and those near and dear to us; we need his grace and forgiveness. I encourage you if you haven’t to take a second look at God’s word.
