Hello, All!!

     Live from Miskatonic University, Arkham, Massachusetts.......


     Here follows the text of a Jeezo-tract that was stuck on My car today. I
am posting it because Sean McCullough asked me to. He probably wants to filk
it.

                             Best Regards,
                           -=The Chairman=-

=============================================================================

                             NEVER RECEIVE
                                  666
                         THE MARK OF THE BEAST

            If you receive it on your right hand or forehead,
        you will go to hell! (Revelations 13:16-18 and 14:9-11)

[here are illustrations of a man with barcode 70734-05319 on his head, and a
"smart card" reading the veins in a man's hand]

     The mark will be a bar code, and the number will be 666. The adjoining of
the bar code and 666 will be an integral part of the 666 system. Another system
that has been designed to work along with the "smart card" is called "vein
reading". The system uses the veins in the back of the hand or wrist to certify
that the person presenting the card is authorized to use it. The microchip in a
smart card can retain incredible amounts of information. A 4 meg chip, quite
common today, can hold the equivalent of 16,000 pages of single space text!
This chip is only 1/6th the size of a postage stamp. THE "CASHLESS SOCIETY"
WILL COME INTO EFFECT SOON!!!

     The Bible says that the mark of the beast and its accompanying technology
will be installed by the Antichrist -- not as an end in itself, but as a means
of managing the new world order that is being created. The new world order will
be a complicated system to administer, even for a man who can perform great
"lying signs and wonders". To track the movement of people, equipment, goods,
and finances, it will take a sophisticated system that will enable the coming
world ruler to control the global government, the universal monetary system,
and the unified religion that together will comprise the new world order.

        1. A GLOBAL PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE ANTICHRIST.
        ===================================================

     When you consider that, according to the Scriptures, those who take the
mark of the beast will be eternally damned, it becomes clear that the most
important aspect of the mark is not economical but spiritual. It is crucial to
understand that the decision to take the mark of the beast involves some form
of a pledge of allegiance to the Antichrist, making it a spiritual decision
that has only secondary economic benefits. This pledge of allegiance will mean
that they accept the beast's system of government, finance, and religion. It
will mean that they buy into his vision, platform, and program. From the
Scriptures, we know quite a bit about that program. Revelations 13 describes
the Beast's rise onto the world scene in some detail. It is an incredible
overview of the last days system. His first speeches and overtures to the world
community will stress his hatred for God and all those who believe in Him.

"And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened
his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacles,
and them that dwell in Heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with
saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations." (Revelations 13:5-7)

Will the world accept this tirade of hate? Amazingly, not only will the people
accept it, they will worship both the beast that speaks these words and also
the devil himself!

"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make
war with him?"  (Revelations 13:4)


         2. A Solemn and Eternal Warning -- Do Not Receive!!
         ===================================================

     The Lord's solemn and eternal warning to those who would take the mark of
the beast remains so clear.

"If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive the mark in his
forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
which is poured out with mixture......And the smoke of their torment ascendeth
up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast
and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
                       (Revelations 14:9-11)

The acceptance of the mark of the beast is a result of personal, spiritual
submission to the beast himself. Followers of the beast will be allowed to
receive this seal of approval. They will want it not only so they can buy and
sell, but because they have said, "We believe in this man. We believe that he
has the solutions for the problems that beset us. We believe that he is a god."

         3. 666: Man Becomes God.
         ========================

     The number 6 in Bible numerology is considered to be the number of man.

"And he causeth all, both great and small, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And no man might buy
or sell, save that he had the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of
his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of
the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six." (Revelations 13:16-18)

        4. How will the Antichrist Do It?
        =================================

     We've often wondered how the Antichrist could convince millions of people
to receive his mark or his number. Your body is the only ID you'll ever need.
Today, leading-edge biometric technologies include fingerprint readers, hand-
geometry machines, retinal readers, voice recognition systems, signature
dynamics, and a myriad of others. In a world where cash is eliminated and every
financial transaction is done electronically, security is the critical factor
in both running the system and getting people to put their trust in it.

     Successful experiments with animals have propelled the microchip implant
to the top of the list of electronic identity verifiers. Agriculture Canada has
approved commercial introduction of the company's implantable electronic
identification technology for the cattle. The European Community's Executive
Commission has passed legislation requiring that all livestock owned by EU
farmers be implanted with microchips. In Colorado Springs and dozens of other
cities across North America, microchips have replaced dog tags. For $45, the
Humane Society will implant the chip under the skin of a dog's neck. Four of
Spain's seventeen regions now require dog and cat owners to identify their pets
with chips.

The natural transition from well-intentioned and voluntary participation to
mandatory compliance should not escape our attention. We are witnessing the
development of an international, microchip-based system capable of tracking
every animal on the face of the earth. By its very nature, a system built to
monitor all the world's animals is a de facto test for a system capable of
doing the same things with PEOPLE!! It is a tremendous proof of the accuracy of
God's Word. Almost 2000 years since the prophecy was uttered, we are witnessing
the birth of a cashless society and the ever-expanding use of microchip
implants to track animals all over the world -- a likely precursor to the
Antichrist's worldwide monitoring system of PEOPLE!! For the first time in
history, the technology to easily fulfill this incredible prophecy exists. The
equipment to track every person on earth and monitor most of their activities
has already been developed. The prophecy concerning the mark of the beast
begins with the words "And he causeth ALL..." This is what the Bible is trying
to tell us about the Antichrist's system. While it is desirable to most of the
world, THOSE WHO DO NOT SUBMIT WILL BE SYSTEMATICALLY EXCLUDED FROM EVERY
ACTIVITY!! Technology exists today that can track the movement and activities
of every citizen. This is the first generation fully capable of being the last
generation.

     The stage is definitely set for the SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST!! THE
RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH IS IMMINENT!!

     To escape this horrible Tribulation and Antichrist system and prepare
yourself for Heaven, just say this simple prayer and mean it in your heart:

"Dear Lord, I know that I am a sinner and I have a desire to turn away from my
sin and turn my life over to you. I ask for your forgiveness and for you to
come into my heart and into my life to be my personal Lord and Savior. Thank
you for saving me. In Jesus' name. Amen."

In Matthew 24:33, Jesus says concerning his Second Coming, "When you shall see
ALL these things, KNOW THAT IT IS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS." GOD BLESS YOU!! WE
LOVE YOU!!
