May be a joke, but I think the premise is correct. When faced with not being able to purchase food for your family, pay for your home, cars, and material things, most Americans would chose a "simple" tattoo or chip in order to continue their status quo.
Most wont even understand the ramifications. They will be told, they will know it in their heart, but if they are not "His", they will not have the strength to deny taking it. That kind of strength and faith can only come from Him.
For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
Having money isn't, but putting it and possessions before God, is. Making it your idol...the thing you pine after...is a sin.
I always say this when the mark of the beast comes up for discussion.
The mark of the beast is not a microchip or anything electronic in nature.
The beast is islam and the mark is obeyance to it. Simple as that.
Since Western society is about to collapse, it will not figure in this mob scenario. The mob will be forced upon people in the M/E area, as it relates to the former islamic caliphate that is coming to life once again. It's former "head wound" is being healed (Rev. 13). The coming caliphate will be the "image" of the former caliphate.
For those who are likely to get their undies in a bunch with this post, let me remind you that the topic of this thread is the mark of the beast, and this post is entirely appropriate. Whether you agree with it or not. And we all know who YOU are. Don't we?
Have a nice day. lol.
I think I just answered my own question, check this out:

Wow, now add this, Allah is also known as Al-Macker, the greatest of all the liars and deceivers.
Buckster, with all due respect---
even in MUSLIM countries, NON-muslims are allowed to BUY and SELL.
Unless whatever we think the "mark" is meets the BIBLICAL definition, then it is NOT the BIBLICAL "mark of the beast".
yes, currently, this is true. Currently.
When the "caliphate" is formed with their precious "mahdi", they will not be so tolerant.
For more info you can search youtube for Whalid Shoebat. He is a former confessed islamic terrorist who converted to Christ. He really knows the mindset of muslims. And because he knows arabic, he discovered the original Greek written "mark", is actually the arabic for "in the name of allah". I believe it is called the "inshallah" or some such. Whalid Shoebats' discovery has been discussed here before. Also, Joel Richardson is another author of same topic plus more about Islam.
That's my link on post #10.
That is a good link MzK, even though it is not the exact link that I posted (#14).
You are quite capable of researching this. And you know a lot about islam.
I have brought this topic up many times, but people still keep posting about how the big bad micro chip is going to get them. (this is not you MzK). I am convinced that the micro chip is a satanic deception (which God allows, of course) as far as the m.o.b., so that islam can get set up for their caliphate. It's all happening right under the noses of the micro chip m.o.b. believers. It's a great deception and is working perfectly to help islam.
Could be, could be.... the problem is the way things are being microbotted to death everywhere with their nanotechnologies and spying and drones and what all else, we have our own branch of the monster to deal with in our own country. Got to rip the whole evil structure everywhere down if we are to live a Godly life, I guess.
Agreed. It's all evil, alright.
I think people believe tooooooo much in technology though. It's is actually quite fragile and can come crashing down with a power outage. That is why I do not subscribe to the micro chip m.o.b. . It is just too fragile a system. Whereas, worshipping and obeying a belief system needs no technology and is more "spiritually" based.
Ex 13:8 On that day tell your son, ‘I do this because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
Ex 13:9 This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For the LORD brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand.
Ex 13:16 And it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead that the LORD brought us out of Egypt with his mighty hand.”
Riddle me this:
Could it not be that the works of our hands and the convictions of our faith are reflected upon others as being either our testimony, or denial of the one true God?
Not attempting to be argumentative here, merely pointing out that a very similar expression (to that being discussed) is utilized in Exodus to indicate that we are to testify to the love and faithfulness of God to our children etc.
