NOTE: This article or series has not been updated recently. As such, it may possibly contain some outdated information, and/or ideas and beliefs which I no longer embrace, or which have changed to some degree.



For many years now -- over forty-five years in fact -- I have been warning people of the approaching devil-inspired 666, or Mark of the Beast, system. According to my understanding of God's Word, this system will be a global, computerized, identification system, melded together with an international online banking and credit system. It is my belief that this will be the ultimate financial system from a purely worldly perspective, and it will based upon an implantable biochip.

To date, I have written articles such as "Mondex And The Mark Of The Beast", "666: The Patience Of The Saints", and "Precursors To The 666 And The Mark Of The Beast", and a number of others which are listed at the end of this article, where I have shared with my readers some of the developments which have been made in such areas as electronics, banking, the wholesale-retail business, and computer technology; all of which, in my view, point to the eventual emergence of this global economic system which will enslave every individual in the world, be they man, woman or child, rich or poor, Christian, Muslim or Jew, etc. No one will escape this terrible system; for as it is written in God's Word:

"And 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. Here 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."


In spite of the fact that many of you reading this article are familiar with the previous verses, I know that some of you have the inclination to put off this prophecy, and don't wish to think about it. You probably reason in your minds that it is something that is going to happen far into the future, perhaps even after you are dead, so why even worry about it? The truth is, that you don't want this disturbing prophecy to upset or shake your present reality, and the comfortable, materialistic life that you may be leading, particularly if you happen to live in the rich West.

If what I have just said describes your attitude, then perhaps it is time for you to wake up; because, as I point out in the aforementioned articles, certain components of this demonic, enslaving system are already in place, and being implemented, and the remaining ones are currently being developed as I write this. Concerning this uncaring attitude that some of you seem to have, I am reminded of something that the Apostle Paul wrote. While Paul was in fact discussing the spiritual blindness of those Jews who failed to recognize the Divine Nature and Mission of Jesus Christ, the lesson of the verse can also be applied to you as well. Paul wrote:

"(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day."


In his second Epistle to the Thessalonian brethren, Paul also discusses those who are too spiritually blind to see the signs of the approaching "Day of the Lord", in which the wicked shall be devoured. Again, Paul writes as follows:

"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief."


In both cases, Paul is describing a deep spiritual slumber, or blindness, which prevents certain people from seeing the truth, and much less acting upon it. In some cases, as was with the Jews, this is by God's Design, but in others, it is due to our own disbelief and hard-heartedness. Yet one day, almost two thousand years ago, Paul also stood up on Mars' Hill and said to the Athenians:

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:"


So my point is, it is time to wake up. It is time to stop ignoring the serious warning contained in the words of John the Revelator. It is time to stop pretending that it isn't going to happen, because it most certainly is. Who knows; within a decade, the full-blown 666 Mark of the Beast system may be in operation, and it will be quite difficult to hide from it. We will each be forced to make a decision; either for, or against, God. Either we will accept the Mark of the Beast in our right hand or in our forehead, thus signifying our allegiance to Satan's worldly kingdom, and thus sealing our own damnation, or else we will defy the mark, and we'll become societal outcasts, who will then be hunted down and persecuted, and treated as crazies and criminals. In God's Eyes, this is how serious of a crime it will be to accept the 666, or Mark of the Beast system. Allow me to remind you again of some verses found in the Book of Revelation:

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."


What actually inspired this short article, is an incident which occurred in my own life early this morning while I was out taking care of some personal business. I was in a local government office, waiting to be attended to, when I noticed that the employee's keyboard contained a slot in the upper right corner, in which he had placed his personal Smart Card. Like similar cards, this card contains a magnetic strip on the back, which holds his personal data. This ensures that the system is only accessed by an authorized individual.

The reason why this caught my attention, is because the last time that I visited that office, their computers did not have the Smart Card mechanism installed. In fact, I have known for about half a year now, that they have been in the process of upgrading their entire computer system. While I didn't know the exact details of the upgrade -- although I did have some suspicions -- knowing what I do know from studying the Bible, I was by no means surprised by my discovery this morning.

To continue, when the employee finally arrived to assist me, I casually remarked to him that I had noticed the Smart Card scanner in his keyboard; and, perhaps to his surprise, I also told him that soon they would be scanning his finger, instead of having him put his Smart Card in the slot. As we continued the business at hand, this kind employee began to tell me how wonderful the new computer system was going to be. He raved about how easy it would make everything for their clients. It would become like a one-stop-shop; fast-in and fast-out with very minimal hassles; the perfect picture of efficiency.

Folks, this is precisely the strategy I have warned you about for years in the aforementioned 666 articles. I have told you that ease-of-use, convenience and efficiency would be the key selling points that they would use to try to convince us that this new, wonderful computer system would be great for us. It is the very same strategy that they've been using to promote "Digital Angel", "VeriChip", "GPS" and similar technologies. I have no doubt that this employee was specifically trained to say the things that he said to me. Of course, I suspect that he was also trained to not say certain things, which I, or anyone else for that matter, would find quite disturbing.

For example, he mentioned nothing about how much this system would result in an even greater invasion of my privacy. Many of you are already aware of how much the Bush Administration has broken the record when it comes to such matters. Ever since 9/11, the Bush Administration has repeatedly used the lame excuse of fighting the "global war against terrorism", to pass all kinds of bills and executive orders, which, in many people's views, seriously encroach upon the American Bill of Rights, which establishes some of our most cherished American freedoms. From surveillance cameras in many cities, to clandestine telephone wire taps, to email sniffing through programs such as "Carnivore", and other methods of domestic spying, the Bush Administration has turned the USA into a veritable Police State, where it seems that everyone is now guilty until proven innocent.

Now, imagine how much more our privacy can, and undoubtedly would, be invaded, if the US Government forces all of us to have our fingerprints taken? Imagine the abuse which could occur, on top of the abuse which has already occurred. In short, the United States would basically be converted into one huge concentration camp, and we would all be its sad inmates. Is there much of a difference between a tattoo on the arm, and having your fingerprint and other personal data recorded in a national database? The end result is the same.

But the Federal Government is more intelligent than that. I don't think that they would enforce nationwide fingerprinting directly, from the top down; that is, from the office of the President. Why not? Because it would undoubtedly appear too much like an oppressive Police State tactic, and many people would become angry and rebel against it, as some folks have already begun to do with a similar invasive tactic: National Identity Cards. No; the wiser route to take, which seems to be what they are doing, is having their grunts carry out the program from the bottom up, so that these invasive tactics slowly infiltrate the entire American system. In this way, people become accustomed to them, and slowly accept them with a lot less opposition.

In case you didn't quite understand what I just stated, have any of you noticed what has been happening with some of your local institutions, such as banks, motor vehicle departments, social services departments, hospitals, etc? Have any of them been adding new requirements which you have been forced to grudgingly accept, if you still want to avail yourself of their services? By having these entities implement their own policies regarding fingerprinting and other invasive tactics, the Federal Government gets out from under the heat, and does not appear so much like the Orwellian "Big Brother" that it has been becoming under the Bush Administration. After all, it is the "little guys" who are requiring these things of their patrons, and not Washington, D.C.; or at least so it is made to appear. The truth is, all of these agencies are doing what they are doing, because they have received their orders from someone above them; and that someone eventually leads to some unidentifiable person or entity in Washington, D.C.

Of course, you also need to understand, as I have stated a number of times before, that the real government is not the puppet one that you see sitting in Washington, D.C. The real government is the hidden one which controls the money. What is that old saying about he who controls the purse strings?

So what you need to understand from the previous paragraphs, is that you need to step back to see the bigger picture. If you do this, you'll discover that fingerprinting, and other forms of invasive identification, is not just occurring at your local bank; it is happening at other important agencies and institutions in your town or city as well. In fact, it is occurring all across your state. If you step back even further, you will discover that the same thing is occurring in other states as well; in fact, it is happening all across the entire country. If you step back even further, you will realize that what is happening in the USA, is also happening in Latin America, throughout Europe, in Australia, in many Arab countries, and just about everywhere else. They are all implementing National Identity Cards, Smart Card systems, fingerprinting requirements, RFID chips, etc. You suddenly realize that this thing is much bigger than you at first imagined. In fact, it is a global endeavor; which means that someone very big, very rich, and very powerful is behind the scenes pulling the strings.

So who do you think it is? Well, if you can figure out who the "he" is in the very first set of verses that I shared with you at the beginning of this article, you will have an answer. Why? Because everything we have been discussing in these paragraphs, has dealt with a global identification system, as well as with a global financial system, and that is precisely what the mysterious "he" in those verses will control when he comes to power, if he isn't already in power now. As I point out in the "Precursors To The 666 And The Mark Of The Beast" article, what we are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. We are seeing the final components of this demonic system being put into place. Once they are in place, the devilish 666, or Mark of the Beast system, will be fully functioning, and "he" will control it all.

Returning to the employee of whom we were speaking earlier, as I already stated, one thing he was probably trained to not say to his clients, was how invasive the fingerprinting requirement would be. I would dare say that he was probably also instructed not to tell anyone, that once they are in the system, there is no way out. In other words, once you volunteer your fingerprint, they've got it; and I seriously doubt that they are going to erase it from their system, if you change your mind and decide that you want to pull out. It will go into the national database, where it will remain.

So between your fingerprint, your retinal scan, your voice scan, your photograph, your Social Security number, your birth date, your drivers license, your telephone number, your mailing address, your street address, your place of employment, and any other personal information that you may have been pressured into revealing to them, they've got you pegged. Add to all of the above, GPS technology, telephone wire taps, surveillance cameras, "Carnivore" email sniffing, etc., and I'd say that there isn't much that you could say or do, that they wouldn't know about eventually, if they really wanted to. Of course, they have the power, and the right, to do it, because, after all, they are protecting us against evil Muslim fanatics by fighting their so-called "war against terrorism, aren't they? That certainly sounds like a bona fide "Big Brother" Police State to me, and that is precisely what the Bible appears to be describing in its final chapters.

As I was concluding my business in this particular office, the employee in question again began to explain to me how wonderful this new system was going to be. By this time, I had already smelled the rat, as they say, because I've been reading about, studying, and teaching these same things for almost forty years now. In fact, the minute I saw the Smart Card slot, I knew exactly how far along they had gotten with the 666, or Mark of the Beast system, in their office. So I suspected that with all of the positive talk about their new system, he was actually prepping me up to tell me something that he may have known that I wouldn't like to hear.

Rather than let him go on playing the public relations game with me, I politely cut in and said something like "This is all leading up to some negative news, so what is it?". It was at that point that he finally informed me that beginning next month, all of their clients will in fact be required to be fingerprinted. Furthermore, he pointed to the spot on his desk where his scanner would be sitting. The new fingerprint scanner will be central to everything they do there. Being fingerprinted will become mandatory for their clients; that is, if they want to remain their clients. It will become the preferred means of personal identification . . . at least for now, until the even more invasive biochip implant is revealed.

The sad thing is, this man, and all of the other employees in that office, were specifically trained to paint a false, rosy picture; because they and their superiors knew ahead of time, that a lot of people aren't going to like the idea of having to be fingerprinted one single bit. I most certainly didn't. So part of their job training apparently included being able to convince everyone they interviewed, that the soon-to-be-implemented fingerprint requirement will just be wonderful, and something which will make life a lot easier for everyone concerned, particularly for their clients. In short, they were trained to deceive people into accepting the exact opposite of the truth. Yes, fingerprinting their clients will make everything easier for them in the short term, but in the long term?

Well, I immediately told this man that I am a Christian -- I believe I had already told him this on previous occasions as well -- and that I have a very serious problem with biometric scanners. He asked me why, and I told him that it is "because of my faith". Those were my precise words. I asked him if he was Roman Catholic, which most locals here are. He answered that he was, and so I said, "So you already know where this is all headed, don't you, because your church teaches it to you also, don't they?". His response was that hopefully, he would be retired by that time. In other words, he seemed to be thinking that being retired would somehow enable him to escape the coming 666, or Mark of the Beast system. Think again my friend!

I also told him that the powers-that-be would not stop with fingerprint scanners; because like Smart Cards, they are not a totally secure system. I told him that it would only be a matter of time before they would begin actual "injections"; that is, biochip implants. It may take them a few more years, but they are patient, and they are wise. As I already said, they know that if they introduce everything too fast, it will alarm too many people, and things could get a bit nasty.

The situation is going to become nasty anyway; at least for those of us who adamantly refuse to accept the damnable 666, or Mark of the Beast system. The people behind this ungodly system will undoubtedly wage a very clever, negative mass media campaign against us, as they have already begun to do to some degree, but their campaign will only continue to get worse as we continue to resist the Mark of the Beast system. As Jesus Christ plainly said, we Christians will indeed be persecuted; and we will become the laughing stock of society for His Name's sake. Haven't we already seen this happening within some sectors, even in so-called "Christian" America? In Matthew chapter twenty-four, Jesus said:

"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake."


You may recall that the Apostle Paul also wrote about the persecution which we will suffer, if we choose to follow the ways of the Lord, instead of the ungodly ways of the world. He wrote:

"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."


As each year passes, the behind-the-scenes architects of the global Mark of the Beast system are purposely making it more difficult for those of us who choose not to embrace the 666 system. In my article "666: Patience Of The Saints", I refer to their endeavors as a "campaign of inconvenience". What I mean by that, is that they are purposely trying to make it inconvenient for us to not belong to their Mark of the Beast system. In other words, just paying our bills, or the monthly rent, or shopping for food and other necessities, etc., will become literally impossible unless we choose to participate in their Mark of the Beast system. Even at this current time, being as I don't have any bank accounts, or own any credit cards or debit cards, requires that I use roundabout methods in order to get our monthly business accomplished.

I also told this employee that I could "only go so far" with what they were doing there, "and no further". Again, those were my exact words. He understood exactly what I meant; and he said that he would try to keep things the same for me as long as he could, but that eventually, the higher-ups would force him to enforce all of the new requirements, including having me fingerprinted. He also told me that soon I would be forced to accept the automatic deposit system. This has already happened to many people here; but thus far, I have managed to escape it; but apparently, not for much longer. So please pray for our situation here, as I will have some tough decisions to make when the time comes.

So, as you can see, it was a rather enlightening morning for that government employee, as well as for me. The development and implementation of the 666, or Mark of the Beast, system is without a doubt accelerating with each passing year, and the net is being drawn tighter around us all. Eventually, as we all know, or should know, there will be no way to escape it; that is, except up, if the Lord so wills; and that will, of course, mean the end of our physical life here on Earth. As the Apostle John wrote in the Book of Revelation, it will indeed be a time when the patience of the Saints will truly be tested. Consider the following verses:

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."


So as we can see by the previous verses, when the bio-chip implant system, Biblically known as the Mark of the Beast, or 666, is fully implemented, it is going to be a time of great testing for the true Saints of God. It will be a time of Great Tribulation. God is going to find out who really loves Him, who really believes His Word, and who is going to be willing to endure persecution, hunger, and perhaps even death, in order that they may inherit their incorruptible Crown of Life. I find it interesting that just as Jesus says "Here is the patience of the saints" in the previous verses, He says the very same thing in His Endtime sermon that is found in Luke chapter twenty-one. After the Lord describes the Beginning of Sorrows, and the severe persecution which is going befall the Saints of the Endtime, He adds:

"In your patience possess ye your souls."


It is plain to see then, that for those Christians who are still alive when these final Endtime events begin to occur, it's going to require a lot of patience in order to continue persevering in the faith during the three and a half years of the Great Tribulation. As I noted earlier, if you happen to be such a person, you will be publicly branded as as a rebel, as a troublemaker, as a social outcast, as a misfit, as a non-conformist, and as a religious fanatic who refuses to go along with the policies of the Beast, which will of course include his evil and damnable Mark, or 666. You may have few friends; and as the Lord tells us, even some of the people whom you think are your friends, including members of your own family, may turn out to be traitors. When a person is suffering and hungry, moral and spiritual convictions often take a back seat in his life, and their worst traits are revealed. If you doubt it, consider these verses. It has happened before, and it will happen again:

"Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."


"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."


From the previous verses, it is evident that we will each have to depend solely upon the Lord to see us through the difficult years of the coming Great Tribulation; because to trust anyone else, could be a mistake. Of course, we have the comforting promise that the Lord knows those who belong to Him. The Bible also tells us that rather than receive the dreaded Mark of the Beast, some people will receive the Seal of God in their foreheads. Consider these very interesting verses:

"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."


"Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."


"And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."


"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads."


Sadly, there are many people who don't know, or who don't even care to understand God's Word. The result is that many of them are totally oblivious to what is currently going on, regarding the slow implementation of the Mark of the Beast system. In fact, as I have personally discovered, in their blindness, there are some people who are enthusiastically embracing the evolving 666 system. They view it as the next "wonderful" step in the evolution of modern society and our electronic age. If they only knew what God's Word has to say regarding those people who receive the damnable Mark of the Beast.

That is why you and I must tell them in any way that we can. That is precisely what this ministry is all about. We share the full message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; not only the Good News of Salvation and Eternal Life for those who choose to believe in Jesus, but also the bad news of damnation and destruction for those people who rebel against Christ, and God's Holy Word. As we all know, God's Word is a two-edged sword. Some people are healed by it, and receive Salvation, while other people are destroyed, due to their own rejection of the truth that it bears. As we read in Hebrews:

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."


As I learn of new developments regarding the diabolical 666 system, I will keep you informed through new articles which will be added to this website. It is my sincere prayer that this article will be a wake-up call to everyone who studies it. The 666, or Mark of the Beast global economic system, is not just a fantasy dreamed up by crazy Christian extremists, as some modern scoffers would like to believe. It is in fact a reality; and its full implementation may not be as far in in the future as you may like think; so please ask the Lord to open your eyes before it is too late. Will you? You've been warned . . . again!

With these thoughts, I will bring this article to a close. It is my hope that you have found it informative, enlightening, and I pray that it has been a blessing in your life as well.
