Revelation 13? Implantable Chip

Implantable chips seem to be the in thing these days. According to a news story, 200 Alzheimer patients living near West Palm Beach, Florida will be implanted with a VeriChip that is part of a 2 year study. This will provide health care workers with immediate access to medical records. So far 90 Alzheimer patients have had the chip implanted.
Having your children implanted with VeriChip… This would help you keep track of them in case they were abducted, lost, run away from home, hurt or injured, their medical information would be readily available.
The Baja Beach Club in Barcelona, Spain is offering people signing up for VIP membership the choice between an RFID chip, (radio frequency identification), and a normal card. VIP members can reserve a table, jump the entrance queues, and use the clubs VIP lounge.
The original VeriChip was unveiled immediately after 9-11. It is similar to the pet identification chips. The VeriChip is about the size of a grain of rice and is injected under the skin. It can be read by a hand-held scanner or by the implantee walking through a “portal” scanner. Information can be wirelessly written to the chip, which contains a unique 10-digit identification number.
According to a WorldNetDaily article “The objective of this technology is to bring an ID system to a global level that will destroy the need to carry ID documents and credit cards.
Ahhh…the great deceiver at his best. It all looks so good on the surface. Each person implanted with a chip has their own identification number. A swipe of a scanner could reveal vital information in an emergency. It could locate a missing loved one through GPS. It is much more convenient then cash or credit cards, just swipe your hand.I believe that this is a forerunner of Revelation 13:16-18. ‘16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Lord Jesus, come quickly!
