The most significant aspect of the of the mark of the beast is that a person who takes the mark is pledging allegience to the Antichrist as his supreme ruler, which in this case will be Satan indwelling the Antichrist. This is why those who take the mark of the beast during the Tribulation period will be forever condemned to the lake of fire. Scripture also makes it clear that those who do not take the mark of the beast will be killed. The Bible also notes that no one will be able to escape the mark as stated in Revelation 13:16 , "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". People will have to make a conscious decision on whom they will serve, will it be God or will it be the Satan? Mankind has over the past 2,000 years since the Lord gave us the Gospel been able to basically spend a lifetime making this decision. However, in the Tribulation period this will not be the case. Due to the introduction of the mark of the beast, people will finally have to get "off the fence" and make a decision one way or another.
The one true benefit I see to the chips is helping to track children who are kidnapped.

But chances are, if someone is willing to kidnap a child, they'd just as easily take a blade to them and cut out the chip to avoid detection.
So I kinda lean against the idea of the chip being beneficial.

That's how they get you.

I think that the mark of the Beast is a physical, visual mark.
In Leviticus it warns not to take any "mark in the flesh" and is referring to a tattoo or scarification.
I think that is exactly what the "mark" is.
Devout Christians can actually see the way for this being paved at a scary pace! And trust me, we don't want to be seeing this, regardless of what you think, because it means our days are short and things are about to get very bumpy!

Am I wrong for being excited rather than afraid? We long for the return of our Lord, so why do we keep fighting the things that prophecy says must take place before His return?
- the premise is that these new fangled (Not really so new, but in terms of human use they are fairly new, at least in societies eyes and with the new applications in mind) are in fact the Mark of the Beast discussed in the book of Revelation in the Bible.
Revelation 13:16-18 "And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six."
There are many striking similarities to the idea of RFiD and what was described in the Bible centuries ago.
Revelation 20:4- "I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge.
More speculation regarding the conscious decision to take the mark;

The RFID Chip may very well be a NWO plan..however, if I may be so blunt as to say
it is not the mark of the beast...not the biblical interpretation.
Religion has misplaced true scriptures intention as original history
comes from the mixture of Sumerian, Greek and Phonician mythology
equating to the first bible which is Genesis and Revelation combined.
A story of Babel.
Original bible scripture in essence is what the Tower of Babel residents
experienced as mankind enveloped knowledge coupled with technology
and it's cyclic demise as depicted through Solar Mechanics eluding to
our reincarnation to a Babel status once again.
The marks of the beast..carried by ALL is caused by the Sun's four seasons, for we are
primarily carbon based organisms which carbon melts under intense heat.
Earth revolves around our Sun-star at 66,600 miles per hour.
This is but a hint to scriptures original intent now corrupted over time.
Be well all.

I do agree that it could be as simple as a 666 tattoo though. It literally could be that simple and the RFiD could be just to enslave people. That being said, as it stands I definitely think the Mark will be some form of technology as for the paying part.
My girlfriend has a bank card with RFiD (i think?) technology in it. It's called contactless pay and she just sorta waves it over the card machine to pay for things. Dunno if you guys have wireless bank cards? I'm sure you do.
