9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in
his hand,
10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in
the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
All of the modern versions (including New King James version) state:
receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand,
This is another possible way for the non-discerning believer to be deceived into taking the mark of the beast. "It's
not the mark of the beast, it is going in your hand not on it."
Eventually this RFID chip is going to contain all of your financial information. There was a recent commercial where
a man in a trench coat entered a grocery store and began hiding items inside his coat then walked through a scanner out the
door without stopping. A security guard stopped him, giving the initial impression that he was going to bust him for
shop lifting. The security guard then says to the man, "You forgot your receipt." As the man exited the scanner,
it had automatically scanned his groceries and deducted it from his checking account. Clearly the ultimate goal of this
RFID chip is to control commerce.
