Which part of Revelation mentions 21st century microchip technology?
There are microchips all over. If you have a phone, they are in that too. A computer? They are in that too. Why is it more alarming that one is in your card? You already said you would never get a microchip in your body, so do not worry about it. We would be lucky if this is truly the end. I want our Lord to come back.
I got to thinking about this & realized I want one. It will be possible soon to get an implant to read blood glucose constantly. As a diabetic, I think that’s wonderful - no more finger sticks!
I’m sorry, but really???
Can you show me where the Church teaches this?
Why?
Where do people get these ideas? That is my thought.
Who are they? And why are they going to mark people?
Why not skip over the thread entirely or give a response that doesn’t make him feel bad for asking a question on CAF? I usually love CAF, but condescending replies instead of a discussion cheapens the CAF forum and makes it no different than any other secular Internet forum. When people post here, they rightfully expect that they can post questions and even if another commentator disagrees, that they will still receive a considerate reply that leaves their dignity intact, because like Christ says, “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
‘They’ are going to be the antichrist and the powers that be in Govt that will follow and obey him when he comes onto the global scene.
That scenario is just so Protestant! Not main-line, but somewhat fringe. None of this stuff is in the CCC. (I don’t mean no mention of anti-Christ, devil, etc., but no details.)
There are two forms of biometric identification in common use, and it’s a fingerprints and face geometry. So to identify the person you scan either their hand or their face. Now, I challenge you to describe the process using vocabulary existing in 2nd century AD. You will probably give up and say that the scanner is looking for a “mark on the hand/face”, despite the fact that no actual mark is involved, but it’s close enough to convey the sense.
That makes no sense, until you realize two things. The first one is that wormwood (or mugwort) is the name for the plant Artemísia vulgáris. The plant has a black stem, from which is derived its name in the Russian language - чернобыльник, or, transliterated – chernobylnik. As it happens, the plant is quite common in the areas surrounding a certain ill-fated power plant, so that’s probably why the city was named after it in the first place. And, as another rather interesting coincidence, observe that John does not write names of things he is seeing. Wormwood is an exception.
You bring up some great points here! We, in modern times are certainly in a position to understand all these verses, that for so long no one had been able to understand, but God did tell Daniel, certain things would only be able to be understood in the times they are happening…that is most apparent today!!
Thanks. I was afraid someone would say I am insane
Precisely. The Wormwood verse, for example, could not be understood before 1986… There may be more similar surprises.
I also have a theory that the second part of the verse may be actually referring to liquid fuels (petroleum and bioethanol). So this would describe a situation when a government (*) institutes price controls on fuels while allowing the food prices to spike. In other words, the government has realized that it can no longer feed the entire population, so it’s an attempt to starve part of it (high food prices) while keeping the economy running (cheap fuel).
