US NATIONAL I.D. CARD

A reading of Biblical prophecy concerning the time called “The Great Tribulation” reveals that the “Anti-Christ” and his henchman “The False Prophet” will rule the world through a single governmental control mechanism. Everyone will be forced to take a mark on their hand or forehead in allegiance to and worship of the Anti-Christ. But I believe that it is clear that they will not have to invent this “One-World Government,” it will already exist. There are calls from such divergent voices as Russia, China and Prime Minister Brown of England for a world banking and monetary system. The United Nations is imposing itself as a regulatory and enforcement body for universal law.

I remember, as a child, people scoffing at the idea of a world-wide governmental body, one-world religion, monetary system or identity mark. But they had no idea of the magnitude of increase in technological capability that would develop in just my life-time. They also did not conceive of world-wide terrorism and the difficulties encountered in maintaining the integrity of sovereign borders. All of these issues are causing most around the world to take measures that invade personal privacy to protect civil society. The US is no exception. I refer you to the Patriot Act. In my opinion, under Bush, was a good idea. However, in the hands of those neo-socialists and communists in the current administration, not so much. The Senate, motivated by safety concerns, is now considering a National Identification Card that contains biometric information that is tamper-proof.

“THE WEEK” an internet news outlet reports:
(National identification cards, long feared by privacy advocates, may soon become mandatory for American workers. In a bipartisan effort to curb the hiring of illegal immigrants, Sens. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have proposed legislation that, if passed, will require all working Americans to carry biometric ID cards containing fingerprint records and other personal information. Sen. Schumer calls the measure "the nub of solving the immigration dilemma.")

As time goes on after this law is passed, they will find that the tamper-proof cards will be compromised and more intrusive measures will need to be taken. Enter the radio activated chips inserted under the skin. The point of all this is that we are catapulting head-long toward a unifying single-world government that exercises maximum control over the people. Then, when the “Man of Sin” is revealed, he will merely step into the place of power and control already prepared for him. You can make all of this a mute point if you will place your faith in Jesus Christ. Because those who have received Him will be taken from the earth (see “What happened to all those people? Thurs, Feb 18). Because the “Great Tribulation” is the time of God’s wrath against a rebellious world.
