I don't know whether or not you've heard about the "National Identification Card" that is soon to become a reality in America. What is really frightening is the fact that this legislation has already passed in the House in early February of this year!
The idea has been germinating for a long time; Bill Clinton introduced legislation that would put such an ID into effect, but the time was not yet ready. However, after 9/11, this is being put forth as a security measure to protect against terrorists. This, like everything satan does, appears to be something for our own good, but it really is not--- it is leading to the mark of the beast the Bible talks about in Revelation. While it cannot and will not protect against terrorism, it WILL become a reality. The Bible tells us just exactly what is going to happen. God doesn't just leave us alone and wondering around in the dark.
We all know that identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America today. What will happen is this: because this national ID card will have all your personal information, including employer, insurance, social security, bank accounts and credit card numbers, identity theft will become even more of a problem than it already is; so much of a problem that the only way to handle it will be to have all this information placed on a tiny bio-chip, which will be implanted under the skin, either in the hand or on the forhead. Every single transaction will conducted by scanning the chip implanted in your body. For the significance of this, read:
Revelation 13:16-17: 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.
I am begging you, DO NOT EVER BE DECEIVED INTO TAKING THIS BIOCHIP ---- IT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST, AND ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST, YOU ARE DAMNED TO AN ETERNITY IN HELL. THERE IS NO MORE HOPE. People accepting this mark will not even realize that they are choosing eternal damnation; that's how satan works. He deceives people. The Bible says he is a liar, and the father of all lies. (John 8:44)
It will be very hard to refuse to accept this national identity card, and even harder to refuse the biochip. In fact, in many instances, it will come down to a choice between receiving it, or being killed or imprisoned. Without it, you will not be able to buy or sell anything, receive medical treatment, get a job, pay bills, travel from one place to another, or do anything thing else. You will have to trust in God to meet your daily needs and the needs of your children. He WILL do it; we have His promise! But if you have never learned to trust in God before this all takes place, it will be very hard for you. You will be misled and deceived into thinking that this is what you must do in order to take care of your family, but it is not ! It will be eternal death to you and to your family!
You can call me a religious fanatic if you want to. I know it sounds like that. But I also know what God's word says. I know the return of Jesus Christ is very near, and I pray daily for each of you to be prepared when Jesus returns. I pray for your salvation. And I pray that when this time comes, we will all be able to stand firm and refuse to accept this bio-chip, even if it means death, for it will be far, far better to die (if you are saved, that is; that is, if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, and made Him the LORD of your life) than to accept a mark which will condemn you to an eternity in hell. Hell is a very real place, it is not a joke, and it is a place of unimaginable torment. The Bible says there will be great wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever.
If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, you are no better off than those who will receive the mark. You are lost, and without hope, unless you put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. The Bible says, in John 3:18: "He that believes on Him {Jesus} is not condemned: but he that does not believe is condemned already , because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
I am begging you, please don't keep making excuses and thinking there is plenty of time to do that later. Later may be too late. The Bible says our life is like a vapor, which appears for just a minute and then vanishes away. If you are unsaved, the same fate awaits you as if you take the mark of the beast: eternal damnation. Even the thought of it sends terror to my heart. I would willingly accept damnation myself, if it would save my children and grandchildren. But it will not--- each of us, once we reach the age of accountability, must make that choice for ourselves. I pray that you choose now to accept the salvation that Jesus died to give you.
Just believing in God is not enough ! The Bible says even the demons believe, and tremble. We have to repent, turn away from a life of selfish sinfulness, and make Jesus Christ our Lord and leader of our life.
Notice that I said "when we reach the age of accountability". That is important, because you have to know that, should your refusal to take the mark of the beast result in the death of your children, they are not yet accountable in God's eyes. They will immediately be with the Lord in heaven. God's word says this: "The righteous perish, and no man takes it to heart: and innocent people are taken away; no one considers that they are taken away from the evil to come."
If you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, I pray you will be able to stand fast when the time comes. It will be the hardest thing we will ever do. But the reward is promised: eternal life with Jesus Christ in heaven. The alternative is unspeakable horror. The only defense we have is the power of God's Holy Word. Read it, study it, hide it in your heart, that you may be able to withstand the enemy in the day of terror. There is power in the Holy, living Word of God.
I love each of you very, very much. Please think very long and hard and carefully about all that I have said here. Don't just take my word for it: read your Bible . God will open your eyes. He says when you seek Him you will find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart. I pray that you seek Him with all your heart.
