skin implants for tracking – we don’t think so
Aug 24, 2008 gps navigation, tracking
Reuters ran this article the other day about a Mexican company implanting a chip under your skin to allow your tracking by satellites:
The company injects the crystal-encased chip, the size and shape of a grain of rice, into clients’ bodies with a syringe. A transmitter then sends signals via satellite to pinpoint the location of a person in distress.
We just want to point out that we’re not really convinced with this ‘news’. Such a system would require a GPS receiver, a transmitter, and of course a battery. The transmitter would probably have to talk to a cell tower rather than transmitting signals into space to satellites. Fitting this GPS receiver and transmitter into such a small form factor seems impossible with our current technology. Not to mention GPS receivers and this transmitter they speak of which can shoot signals into space would require a big battery.
You should read the translation for yourself and decide. More than likely this is just an RFID chip that needs to be scanned with a device which usually have a very short range. Maybe they have RFID scanner all over Mexico City…

It is a RFID chip for tracking medical records or other personal information. Not a GPS tracking system.

In the bible this is called the mark of the best.
Kind of.

My pastor and visiting pastor talked about this in service. More importantly it’s in the bible (Rev. 13:16 ). The end of time is near (Matt. 4:17), after the coming of the Lord all will receive the mark of the beast or be killed. It’s believed that the antichrist will be a Muslim because in their religional practice they behead those who do not accept their religion (Rev. 20:4) Even now in parts of the world outside the US people are accepting the mark. Sinners and those who already have accepted the chip still have a chance from the inevitable pain and suffering that is to come. That chance of salvation comes only through Jesus Christ. Repent and accept Him into your life. Serve Him with all your heart and live your life clean and await His return.

It will come as part of the New World Order. They will know your every move. The bible says there will be nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. People will receive the mark in order for the government to keep track of people. People will believe this false sense of peace, but it will be a time of war.

I noticed that this is not the first time you write about this topic. Why have you chosen it again?

You people are all making a big deal out what could be an extremely useful device. Its a tiny chip that can track you around the world. Maybe most of the time that can be seen as an invasion of privacy. But for say undercover operatives or soldiers fighting in other countries. Its an amazingly easy and fast way to locate a person without placing them in any danger. As for a battery. What is the human body but one giant battery full of bio-electric energy. This is a new wave of the future that could save countless lives here and in other countries. Is it really such a bad thing?

Of course it’s a bad thing. Imagine if our soldiers were implanted and our enemies got a hold on the technology. They’d be able to locate every single one of them with pinpoint accuracy.
