Good evening everyone,
Are we getting close to the day when we'll be required to have a
mark placed on our foreheads or in our right hand in order to conduct
commerce. This prophesied in the Bible. According to scripture those who
fail to take either mark will be in certain trouble even death! Christ
hasn't returned for his church and already there there are those
dreaming of an Internet security system based on ingesting microchips or
according to the book of Revalation taking the mark of the beast! What
is this World coming too? The end is closer than we think.
