The Beginning of the End is Near...

Dear Edie,
Your comment on the Mark of the Beast prompted me to send you the following information that was brought to my attention a few days ago.

A man in my home state of Texas applied for and received a United States Patent for a "Method for Verifying Human Identity During Electronic Sale Transactions". I put that in quotes as that is what has been patented. The idea was submitted in 1996 and was awarded this past year (1999).

The interesting thing about this method is that it includes using an invisible ink. The patent application explains that: "...social conscience dictates that any permanent marking of humans not be conspicuous, such as a visible numbering on an arm like the holocaust victims." (Boy, is that an understatement!)

While many who have read Revelation had pictured a tatoo of visible numbers on the right hand or forehead, it may be that the mark will be invisible in order for it to be socially acceptable (and therefore - in general - it won't have to be forced upon the mass population).

This is the paragraph under the heading "Field of the Invention" The present invention relates to the identification of humans. More particularly, the present invention relates to the application of invisible, indelible tattoos on humans for purposes of identification in order to conduct monetary and credit transactions in a secure manner.

The Abstract reads as follows:
A method is presented for facilitating sales transactions by electronic media. A bar code or a design is tattooed on an individual. Before the sales transaction can be consummated, the tattoo is scanned with a scanner. Characteristics about the scanned tattoo are compared to characteristics about other tattoos stored on a computer database in order to verify the identity of the buyer. Once verified, the seller may be authorized to debit the buyer's electronic bank account in order to consummate the transaction. The seller's electronic bank account may be similarly updated.

Then, under "Full-Text Database", click on: Patent Number Search
Then, search on the number: 5,878,155

I hope that you and all those on the e-mail list will find this information useful. May God grant us His Wisdom in these matters.

Hi, My name is Julian,
I read your writing on the Book of the Revelation and the internet. I have
heard about this before and it all sounds interesting, your belief that www.
may very well be the number of the beast, but are you forgetting that the
Bible says that no one will be able to buy or sell unless they receive the
mark on the forehead or on the right hand.  How does your theory with the
internet explain that? My christian friend told me about the VISA credit card
being the number of the Beast. He says that the VI - roman numeral number 6,
but he couldn't explain that the S is 6 and the A is 6.  He just told me, it
must be some different language. This also seemed very interesting to me so I
did some research.  I realize that there has been talk of a cashless society
and how beneficial it would be for us. For example, the drug problem would be
eliminated since there would be no cash! In Europe there have been talks
about the SmartCard that would resemble the debit card here in the United
States, except the SmartCard would also store your social security #, bank
accounts, and all your personal records. Well this all seemed great except
what would happen if you were to lose this SmartCard? Basically, someone
would have access to all your accounts and you would be in trouble. So what
the government was talking about was to insert a chip in your hand through a
micro incision! I know that the United States has already tested the use of a
chip in lab rats. As far as Europe is concerned, I do not know about any
further developments about the SmartCard. In my opinion, this seems more of a
likley scenario for the Mark of the Beast. What do you think?

Dear Julian,
You’re on the right path.  About ten years ago here in Los Angeles, I entered a jogging/running race, where my pet dog could run with me.  It was called a “dog run”.  There was a company advertising this computer chip.  They were inserting it in the back of the dog’s necks, after they entered the owner’s information in a computer.  When the dog crossed the finish line, the information about the owner instantly appeared on the screen.  It also gave info on recent rabies shots, gender of dog, address, phone, etc.  

That was over ten years ago.  I never heard of that company since that time.  Someone or company must have found out, and bought them out or something.   

In the future, The Mark (computer chip) will be on the hand and the forehead. The chip will be duly activated, meaning, it won’t work unless it is exactly a certain length from the person’s arm to the forehead, and both must match.  This will eliminate crimes of cutting off people’s hands to have access to their chip.  It will be very difficult to steal money or information from people this way.  Only the government will have access to the main information bank with all our info on it. 

The Internet e-commerce system will be the backbone of the new cashless society.  Years ago, I was able to upload all my watch / calendar information just by pointing it via infrared to my computer screen.  Instantly my computer matched what was in my watch.  The same will hold true for buying/selling.  Our body-chips will be on our keyboards, and on our screens.  The IR system will be able to read our body-chip information as it is being uploaded to the website merchant of our choice.  I’m in close contact with a Christian electrical engineer in the technology department of a company that is a testing thinktank for these types of technologies.  Everything I’m saying is going as planned, and on schedule.  God’s will is very evident now.  The Book of Revelation is quickly and quietly revealing an owner’s manual into the 21^st century.  Look up the word “revelation”.  It means “exposure, leak, or disclosure”.  If you really read deeply into its words, The Book of Revelation, written almost 2,000 years ago, is exposing what is happening today, the age of technology; the information age.   

The most important thing that you can do right now is ask God into your life.  Simply ask Him into enter into your heart  Pray that He show and guide you to recognize the Truth.  Only then, will His spirit within you reveal and recognize what is to come.  Please feel free to write to me whenever you want.  I’ll be there for you if you need to pray, or simply if you want to just talk.
