No clue.



I don't know why God allows bunnies and kittens and babies to die, either.

Well, I'm looking out my window...

... and I don't see people being lined up by the thousands to be forcibly injected with one of these.


But, what the heck, I guess I'll still start worrying now...
This is prophesied to take place when the whole world comes under the control of a One World Government/One World Religion system. The formation of the United Nations is but one small step toward that happening. Presently, there are many countries charting out their part of sharing power in a globally controlled system.

BTW: The One World Religion is prophesied to be one that seeks the destruction of Israel, persecutes and beheads Christians for their faith in Christ and persecutes and kills any person that does not accept the "official" globally implemented religion.

Rev 13:17 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.
Rev 14:9 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,
Having said that, I really doubt that these chips are the mark of the beast. The mark - whatever it turns out to be - will be received with the cognizent and voluntary rejection of God, and willing alliance with the Antichrist, and will not be taken by accident, or administered in ignorance.
I agree with you here. The mark of the beast is a way of identifying a person's loyalty to the beast, just as God's mark on the foreheads (Ezekiel 9 v 4) was a way of identifying God's people. I do not believe it's a chip under the skin and I see no need for us to have this implanted. However, for the safety of certain people, such as police and certain military folks, I can see a benefit.
The number 666 was the number of a first century man using Gematria (the system of using numbers to indicate the name of a person). Some think it is the number of a modern day person but I think it was the "Gematria" of Antiochus Epiphanes IV who was every bit as evil as the devil himself when he destroyed the temple in 70 AD.

Isn't God all knowing? Isn't the Bible the word of God? Why are you putting human limitations on God?

The limitation is not on God it's on man.

Yep, sounds very Islamic alright! Especially the Shia' prophecy and their Islamic expectation of a world "saviour" al-Mahdi who is accompanied by a co-hort, Isa', (the Islamic Jesus). And then we have Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, outwardly proclaiming that he believes his mission is to help usher in al-Mahdi through creating global chaos.

Any coincidence that the Book of Revelation mentions that the One World Government/Religion system will be comprised of the anti-Christ leader and false prophet???

you two are idiotic. Even if you accept the propheses of destruction, you know htat it takes FOREVER for governments to do anything. The UN has been around for how long and they have done nothing dastardly. This one world religion, has it even been convieved of yet? as far as i can tell there are tons of religions and sects that have millions of followers. thats a far cry from 1 in the world. you speak of a unified world that predicts this appocolypse but then give examples of people who are devisive and want to cause world chaos, these aren't the uniter who would be the anti-christ......



so even if your book contains the correct end of the world prediction, according to your story, we aint nowhere close to it yet.

Getting there! Western/secular societies are now in an escalating conflict with the Islamic ideology that is intent on world domination. The victory will go to the one that has the most determination to win.

Excerpts from The Proposed Islamic Constitution:

The Caliphate
also:
The Islamic Constitution


Article 56
Jihad is a compulsory duty (fard) on all Muslims. Military training is therefore compulsory. Thus, every male Muslim, fifteen years and over, is obliged to undergo military training to prepare for jihad. Conscription, however, is fard kifayah.

Article 186
The state’s relationships with other states are built upon four considerations. These are:

1. States in the current Islamic world are considered to belong to one state and, therefore, they are not included within the sphere of foreign affairs. Relationships with these countries are not considered to be in the realm of foreign policy and every effort should be expended to unify all these countries into one state. The subjects of these countries are not considered to be foreigners. They have the same rights as other subjects of the Islamic State. However, if those countries are considered as Dar al-Kufr, then their subjects are treated as foreigners.

2. States who have economic, commercial, friendly or cultural treaties with our State are to be treated according to the terms of the treaties. If the treaty states so, their subjects have the right to enter the State with an identity card without the need for a passport; provided our subjects are treated in a like manner. The economic and commercial relationships with such states must be restricted to specified items which are deemed necessary and which, at the same time, do not lead to the strengthening of these states.

3. States with whom we do not have treaties, the actual imperialist states, like Britain, America and France and those states that have designs on the State, like Russia are considered to be potentially belligerent states. All precautions must be taken against them and it would be wrong to establish diplomatic relationships with them. Their subjects may enter the Islamic State only with a passport and a visa specific to every individual and for every visit.

4. With states that are actually belligerent states, like Israel, a state of war must be taken as the basis for all dispositions with them. They must be dealt with as if a real war existed between us - whether an armistice exists or not - and all their subjects are prevented from entering the State. The money and blood of their non-Muslim subjects are not protected.

Article 190
The State is forbidden to belong to any organisation which is based on something other than Islam or which applies non-Islamic rules. This includes international organisations like the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and regional organisations like the Arab League.
