Below is an eye-opening news article from CBS news. Let's see if these
Endtime scoffers -- like the Robert Brink who is mentioned in this article
-- are still mocking our beliefs in the years ahead.


Va. Lawmakers Oppose Forced Microchip Implantation, and the Antichrist

CBS News

February 10, 2010


The Virgina House of Delegates on Wednesday approved a measure that could
protect Virginia residents from overbearing employers, and possibly the
apocalypse.

The law would make it illegal to implant an identification or tracking
device into a person's body without their written consent. As the use of
implanted microchips becomes more common -- people use them to track pets
and could possibly use them for purposes such as securing one's medical
history -- lawmakers are starting to address concerns. Some are concerned
their use among humans would lead to a lack of privacy or abuse from
employers. Others, the Washington Post reports, are also concerned the use
of microchips could be the "mark of the beast" -- or the coming of the
antichrist.

"My understanding -- I'm not a theologian -- but there's a prophecy in the
Bible that says you'll have to receive a mark, or you can neither buy nor
sell things in end times," Del. Mark L. Cole, the bill's sponsor, told the
Post. "Some people think these computer chips might be that mark."

Cole reportedly said that he primarily sponsored the bill because of the
privacy issues.

"I just think you should have the right to control your own body," he said.

Yet some fundamentalist Christians see more serious concerns in the Book of
Revelation in the Bible, which reads, "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: And 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."

Those opposed to the legislation mocked the connection to the Bible story.
Del. Robert Brink reportedly said he never heard voters on the campaign
trail mention any concerns about microchips.

"I didn't hear anything about the danger of asteroids striking the Earth,
about the threat posed by giant alligators in our cities' sewer systems or
about the menace of forced implantation of microchips in human beings," he
said.

Some other states, including Georgia and Tennessee, are considering similar
measures. A couple of states including California and Wisconsin have already
passed similar laws.
