You see, at first they are making this optional. but it wont be long that most will receive it willfully and many saints will go right along with the system and mock those who don't
I heard the same argument made about ATM cards. "In 20-30 years you won't be able to buy anything without one of these cards. Fraud will be so rampant that the government will be forced to institute the practice of implanting a chip, with your bank information in it, to stop all the fraud." That never materialized either. Every generation thinks theirs will be "the one" when all this end time stuff happens and Jesus comes back.

People WERE freaking out 20 years ago over this. Every time there was a story about computers, or heaven forbid, a "UPC" symbol on a package. People laid awake at night thinking that "this" may be the night that the rapture takes place. After all, ALL the signs are here.
When the time comes, the power of the computer and internet will no doubt make world wide enforcement of "the mark" possible, but the technology itself is NOT the the mark.

The only problem is is that the antichrist causes all to receive the mark...or else...that is not what is happening now

Oh goodness...that's not the only problem. First, it's not in the right hand or forehead.

I cannot find a verse anywhere in the Bible that says, "the antichrist causes all to receive the mark...or else"
I have read several books that make that claim, but not THE BOOK!
Please help me find it.
One verse that specifically so states, my inquiring mind right now awaits.

Right, it does not say anti-Christ.

It was the second beast
Rev 13:11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
Rev 13:12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people,
Rev 13:14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
Rev 13:15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.
Rev 13:16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
Rev 13:17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

I don't think anyone is mocking this. It's a definate threat to liberty and should be vehemently resisted. And until they start demanding it be placed in the right hand and forehead as a sign of religious devotion to a world leader, I'm not going to cry wolf. Why? It makes us look foolish and discredits everything else we have to say...namely, the gospel.

I remember reading about how many believed the Social Security number was the "mark of the beast".

When something like a branding, etching, name, or number is required on the right hand or forehead as a way of paying homage to a world leader and participating in a global economic system appears...I'll gladly say that's the mark.

Re: YIKES! The Chip Is Here! you gotta see this!

I agree with all of you that it is far fetched to think that this chip 20 centuries later has something to do with Revelations. However, I would never allow them to put anything in my right hand of forehead (just to be on the safe side).

No real problem exists over the use of "The Name" in everthing else done in the Church. Why then should there exist great controversy over the use of the "The Name of the Godhead" in water baptism?
