How Technology Is Being Used To Bring In The Mark Of The Beast - Part III
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man
might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or
the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his
number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:16-18
This article describes the technology that is being developed to bring in
the mark of the beast.
2. The Goal: To Eliminate Passwords Through Biometrics
The next new technology being introduced to people is "Biometrics". This
technology is being used to replace your ATM password and sometimes even
both your password and your ATM card. A recent newspaper article titled
"Army's New Password: 'Biometrics'" states:
"To fight hacks, Pentagon turns to body-based ID systems that can't be
faked. A headquarters for the new "biometric" security system is
scheduled to open here next week. A center that will store the digital
images of soldiers' fingerprints, earlobes and other characteristics
in a database is expected to open by August. Biometrics involves using
computer scans to identify a person's unique characteristics, such as
eyeball patterns, fingerprints and hand shapes. The scans then are
stored digitally. A computer uses video cameras and sensors to match
those "templates" with the patterns of would-be users." (See note 7)
Another article titled "Biometrics Are Giving Access With The Blink Of An
Iris Scan" states
"Businesses are using PIN-free technology internationally and in
Texas, and plans abound to make eye scans the status quo....Customers
of Bank United in Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth can get cash just by
walking up to a machine and looking at it. No ATM card, no PIN. Just
by looking them in the eye, the machine can tell if customers are
authorized to access the money they seek........Last month, biometrics
reached street level, making its debut in cash machines in Texas,
Italy, England, Japan, Norway, Turkey, Spain, Brazil and Germany.
Biometrics will be available in more areas by the end of the year,
says NCR Corp., one of the companies that makes them. They will be
virtually everywhere by 2005, forsees the Gartner Group, a high tech
consulting company. ....... A fingerprint has 35 measurable points
that can be used for identification. The iris has 266, Shane said. The
iris is the most data-rich feature on the human body." (See note 8)
From these articles we see that your body features are becoming your ID.
Notice what the Bible says in Revelation 13:16 : "And he causeth all, both
small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads:"
