Don't they already have ID cards in USA? Here in miserable NZ they brought in subtle ID cards in form of photo driver's licenses (I am one of only ones who doesn't have a car/driver's license). In future they might have retina scanners & implanted microchips. Police already have finger prints system.It was also a common idea that bar code (and/or eftpos) are proto-666, but it is
the number of his/its name, &/or Chuck Misler reckons 666 [or 616] mark is rather taking mark to
identify with the beast like say he/it had a wound/1 eye/birth mark/3rd eye*/nail marks and you make a copy. The Beast will be wounded in head & arm. There are prophetic evidences of 666 mark in mythology & bible eg Hindu 3rd eye dots, Cain's mark, horned hand*, Sumerian wrist "watches". Manson had swastika on forehead. Sometime in middle ages they couldn't buy/sell without doing that Catholic cossing self action. *eye=horn"?
No, they are talking about ID cards, and even at that, all it is at this point would be a national "Driver's license" ID. When scanned in could retrieve data in many computer banks. No implanted chips or 666's yet.
It is my understanding and hope that since only government agencies issues these that only government agencies can scan them, and even then, certain branches could only retrieve certain information as opposed to your local grocery store learning your every detail. My gut feeling is that they will be used for any official government, travel, major business or medical transaction.
To the rest, especially Kriss:Here is what I found on 1979. Hmmmmm. Maybe. That might explain my feeling of danger lurking in the background that one day would arrive. And I think the setting up of this will contribute to the end times. I have another suspicion, regarding this year (hint:birth) but that would just be conjecture at this point. But this is probably big enough at this point for the pyramid to predict. [url="http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2008%5C03%5C23%5Cstory_23-3-2008_pg3_4]pivot of change[/url]
