Ive heard that some Christians object to the VeriChip. Why is that?
Many Christians believe that the VeriChip closely resembles or presages the “mark of the beast” described in Revelation, the last book of the Bible. Their concerns stem from a biblical passage describing the mark of the beast as follows: And he [a corrupt world ruler] 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.
