Is the Mark of the Beast an Implanted Microchip (Revelation 13:16-18)?
With fair regularity, stories appear in the media about technology that will allow the Beast to number and track every person on earth. People believe that either a number or bar code will be imprinted on the foreheads or hands of those who will be permitted to buy or sell. Lately, the stories have been about implantable microchips that will store vital information about each of us. Such stories are widely circulated, but no proof exists that any of them are part of a worldwide conspiracy. These reports are based on a misunderstanding of Revelation 13. The “Beast” mentioned in Bible prophecy is a governmental system, a revived Holy Roman Empire, headed by an evil human dictator (see Daniel 2:26-45; 7:1-8, 15-27; 11:36-45; Revelation 17:7-18). When Jesus comes, He will personally throw both that dictator and his “False Prophet” accomplice into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 19:20). Receiving the Beast’s number, name or mark has to do with giving allegiance to the government this dictator
