And, implantation of a chip, is wrong, and this goes beyond believing what the book of Revelation speaks of. It really ties in to a massive destruction of personal privacy, and once that boundary is crossed, there is no telling how science would try to manipulate one through the use of the chip. It is something we should stand against, I believe.

This is the problem I have with the entire futurist camp. The impression it puts upon us concerning the book of Revelation. Revelation is not supposed to be hidden as though we will never really know until it all pans out. That is far from the purpose of even calling it REVELATION. Revelation is a revealing. Unveiling. Disclosing. God would not purposely put something in His word, call it revelation, only for us to never know what it means or foretells til it happens. That is what futurism does to us, not God's Word. Something is wrong with a system of interpretation that leaves us thinking the opposite from what the title itself relates.
