Scientific Power Gone Wrong - Is the Mark of the Beast Coming Soon?

Over the years genetic engineering has expanded to a point where scientists have found over 100,000 different human genes. There are so many different DNA instructions making the human race truly unique. Human beings are made of up so many complex cells. There are billions of cells in the human body and each cell has a specific job. There are cells for the heart, brain, kidneys, skin and just about anything that makes up the human body. A human being is a complicated machine. Even though family members are alike they are also truly unique because there are so many different genes and some genes tend to skip generations. As technology has expanded new fields of study have been born, such as genomics. According to Mary H Cooper, Author of Human Genome Research, "Genome research has greatly expanded a relatively new field of study called genomics, the study of genes and their function in health and disease." Some people feel as though scientists have too much power and there is some concern over how this power is used and who has access to it.

Scientists now have the ability to put all the genetic information for one human being on a single chip, which they want to implant inside people. Some of these high profile doctors claim that the computer chips will be used for the good of the human race, but I have to disagree. These people say that a person's life can be saved because doctors can quickly access the medical information inside the chip, if a person is unconscious. In most cases medical information is not likely to save someone's life at the drop of a hat, and there is a less risky alternative to having a chip implanted underneath the skin. There are medical bracelets that people can wear if they are allergic to certain medications or have a particular disease or medical condition.

In addition to recording medical information the chips also have GPS tracking abilities. Not only does this violate a person's privacy, but the chips could also be used to control people in the future. Yes, I know that sounds like something out of a science fiction novel but they already have the chips in place, and scientists are developing the technology to use these chips to influence the thoughts and actions of human beings, taking away their free will. If this was in the wrong hands people could be influenced to do horrible things. Whoever is controlling the chips could force people to become slaves with their decision making. For instance, people may be told to buy certain things that they normally wouldn't buy in order to make the fat cats in control richer. According to prophesy in the bible, the mark of the beast will be a devise implanted in someone's hand or forehead, and that people will not be able to buy or sell without it. Really think about what's going on because this could happen in our lifetime. Refuse to take the chip, no matter what the cost! Read the bible and understand that those who take of this mark will be taken out of the book of life. It is far better to refuse the mark and pass away than to lose your eternal salvation.
