Sure, let’s all get implanted with RFID chips. That way we
can purchase our products much easier. Then we can all join the dark overlord
Satan while we worship the Antichrist.
Sarcasm, obviously.
There are about 100 reasons why I think that chip
implantation is a bad idea. Which may scare people more? The psychological or
medical complications? As many idiots there are that happily want to be chipped
with the mark, there are about 700 people who don’t.
It’s not just the fact that this has been foretold in the
Bible centuries ago. It’s not just because it has been a topic of popular
culture over the last 100 years. It’s not even about being watched by big
brother and having your privacy rights infringed.
It’s an all around ridiculous idea. However, that doesn’t
mean it will not be implemented into our society.
The potential
risks to health associated with installing the device in your body are adverse
tissue reaction; migration of implanted transponder; compromised information security;
failure of implanted transponder; failure of inserter; failure of electronic
scanner; electromagnetic interference; electrical hazards; magnetic resonance
imaging incompatibility; and needle stick syndrome.
It is
obvious that there are physical risks to implanting an RFID chip into your body. An even bigger issue may be the security implications of the RFID chip
being implanted in humans, such as biohacking.
Biohacking
is a dangerous and unwanted side effect of the RFID chip implantation. Many
computer hackers may be able to bypass security measures in airports and other
institutions with an RFID chip implanted inside of them.
According to
Thomas Fox-Brewster of Forbes, U.S. Navy petty officer Seth Wahle implanted an
RFID chip inside of his hand for such uses as “stealth” hacking into phones and
computers. One of his malware tactics consists of being close to someone’s
Android phone with his hand so that he can use RFID’s radio frequency waves to
send a message and ask users if they would like to open a link on their Android
phone.
Once that
link is opened, the phone is infected with malware and may be controlled
remotely by another computer.
This could
be particularly dangerous if someone infiltrates government computer systems
without looking conspicuous with a laptop and other hardware. Just imagine what
many skilled hackers may be able to do with this technology.
I am opposed
to the RFID chip being implanted inside of humans but for theological reasons.
As a Christian, I would never personally take an RFID chip inside of my body.
John the Apostle was given a vision by Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation
concerning the end times of the world and the rise of
the
Antichrist.
Written
centuries ago, this is what Revelation 11:16-18 states:
“And he [the
Antichrist) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive the
mark in
their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell,
save that he has
the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that
hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is a number of a man;
and his number is six hundred threescore and six.”
Considering
the RFID chip is a piece of technology that is coded with numbers and letters,
it would be very easy to encrypt the chip with the numbers 666 somewhere in its
coding along with someone’s personal identification number, date of birth,
medical information, and so forth.
The Bible is
very clear about those who take the mark of the beast.
So for now
and forever, I will remain chip free.
