Mark of the Beast...?...How in the world will could microchip implants ever be mandated...?

I could be wrong on this but current events seem to say this line of thinking is consistent so far...

The question is not if it will ever be pushed to everyone but when and how.

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. Revelation 13:16-18

The occurrences of credit and debit card fraud is definitely becoming more of a concern and so the cards will go next leaving biometric security as being pushed as the "logical" next step...

Here are just a few of the latest news pieces on the move to a cashless world:
