I saw this yesterday on Discerning The Times Online, which has been doing some exemplary research covering all the news that pertains to the coming "Mark of the Beast" system, but particularly what's called the "Unique Identity Number (UID)" being administered in India.
Here's what I read there yesterday on that site:
Today, as Americans face a U.S. Census deadline to answer 10 questions, India began a gigantic exercise to count its estimated 1.2 billion people and to fingerprint and photograph every citizen over the age of 15.
The information will go into a National Register of Citizens, with each person eventually issued a Unique Identity Number, the Times of India reports.
First up is President Pratibha Patil, who will share such details as number of mobile phones, computer, toilets and internet connections in the President's House, the newspaper says.
There's more: the government wants information on literacy, fertility, mortality, language, religions and migration.
The mammoth project will stretch over 11 months, as 2.5 million census workers first collect basic housing data before beginning the physical counting of people in February 2011. -

If you're inclined to ignore such a report, thinking that such a scenario doesn't apply to or concern us because it's in India and not her in the U.S. -- think again.
DTTO followed up that story (originally published on April 1, 2010) with this next one (published on April 12, 2010), which brings this threat into clearer focus for us:
Could a national identity card help resolve the heated immigration-reform divide?
Two Senators, New York Democrat Chuck Schumer and South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, certainly seem to think so. They recently presented an immigration-bill blueprint to President Barack Obama that includes a proposal to issue a biometric ID card — one that would contain physical data such as fingerprints or retinal scans — to all working Americans.
The "enhanced Social Security card" is being touted as a way to curb illegal immigration by giving employers the power to quickly and accurately determine who is eligible to work. "If you say [illegal immigrants] can't get a job when they come here, you'll stop it," Schumer told the Wall Street Journal. Proponents also hope legal hiring will be easier for employers if there's a single go-to document instead of the 26 that new employees can currently use to show they're authorized to work.
But with a congressional skirmish over comprehensive immigration reform on the horizon, skeptics from the left and the right have raised numerous concerns about the biometric ID — some of which pop up every time a form of national identification is proposed, and some that hinge on the shape this plan ultimately takes.
The sheer scale of the project is a potential problem, in terms of time, money and technology. The premise of using a biometric employment card (which would most likely contain fingerprint data) to stop illegal immigrants from working requires that all 150 million–plus American workers, not just immigrants, have one. Michael Cherry, president of identification-technology company Cherry Biometrics, says the accuracy of such large-scale biometric measuring hasn't been proved. "What study have we done?" he says. "We just have a few assumptions."
Schumer estimates that employers would have to pay up to $800 for card-reading machines, and many point out that compliance could prove burdensome for many small-to-medium-size businesses. In a similar program run by the Department of Homeland Security, in which 1.4 million transportation workers have been issued biometric credentials, applicants each pay $132.50 to help cover the costs of the initiative, which so far run in the hundreds of millions. "This is sort of like the worst combination of the DMV and the TSA," says Chris Calabrese, legislative counsel for the ACLU, an organization that has traditionally opposed all forms of national ID. "It's going to be enormously costly no matter what."
Folks, it's coming sooner than most realize.

The Mark of the Beast is going to have to excell human limitation.
I think it will be a matter of the heart more than anything physical.
When Pilot presentated JESUS and offered Barabas, the people chose a murderer over an innocent man.
Pastor Mike Hoggard (www.mikehoggard.com Mother of all Secrets) says that the key is in the DNA. If a microchip inserted into the flesh can recieve a radio wave/something like that, that would 'trigger' the DNA to alter somewhat, then you would have your mindless drone people. We know that people can be controlled or 'strongly persauded' via drugs, hypnosis (and torture). There will have to be something in the LORD that combats this kind of power. What combination will it be?What if the mark of the beast is something entirely unthought of yet?

Let's not even discuss what I think of Sen. Lindsey Graham. Don't want a visit from one of the alphabet agencies.
Anyways, isn't it interesting that it is not just a United States census that is taking place, but a WORLD census? Apparently, countries have taken population and housing census on the years ending in 0 as "suggested" by the United Nations (so it's not just the US). Remind you of any other "world" census?? Let's not forget the GPS tracking either!!
Luk 2:1 NIV - In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.

While watching a TV show last night - the story-line involved a newborn baby that went missing in a hospital. A character in the show mentioned that the newborn was wearing a bracelet with a microchip in it (indicating that the newborn would have triggered an alarm if taken out of the hospital.)
Why would any parent not agree to that kind of protection (I speak with tongue-in-cheek).
The mark of the beast will be easily accepted as part of a culture that has been sytematically brainwashed to embrace anything that will benefit the greater good.
Pray for hearts to be changed and many to come to Christ before the Church is removed and the Holy Spirit's influence is drastically different than what the Church is priviledged with today.

Yes, my wife and I watched "House" last night too and thought the SAME thing.
Isn't it ridiculous how SUBTLE and SUBVERSIVE it all is? I mean, we're bombarded with these ideas CONSTANTLY all over the place to the point where when it really does arrive it will be "no big deal" to most people.
But, then again, he is known as the "Subtle Serpent", right?

Just an added note: the Real ID legislation included the use of biometrics.
So, it does not seem that we are that different than India - we are just a population that has a notion that we are "free" and hence will not stand for such invasive government control. So our government must find a slicker way to introduce such change.
I don't know the status of the Real ID (it has since been reolaced with legislation called PASS ID)but it seems inevitable that some kind of ID will eventually be put in place that will most likely employ biometrics.

Kaz,
They use those bracelets in TN!

you are correct the masses are being conditioned and brianwashed into excepting these devices!!!!
but I strongly disagree on the part about the church! for 1. CHRIST is not in a church, he is in the hearts and minds of the true believers!!! 2. I would be willing to bet, that when the time comes to implament these tracking devices the corporate church will be in lock step with the gov. on urgeing all to take the mark.
if you can't see that all 501c3 religious institutions are controlled by the beast goverment,
you are still wearing blinders and you need to walk away from your church and pick up your bible!!!
GOD help those who still do not see what is right in front of them!!! if it is in your will!!!!!!!amen

I am just tired of not having any privacy anymore with anything. I will not be taking any microchip or ID card with any kind of microchip in it. When traveling overseas the passports already have a chip in them from what I heard.You will not be able to buy things and do your banking unless you have a microchip, to me that sounds like the Mark of the Beast according to what I understood in the Bible.
Getting the Mark of the Beast will be Posh. Like the getting the latest and greatest computer gadget or body enhancer.

True! I confess I wanted an Ipad when they first came out. Looked cool. Feeling passed.

My oldest son went to a high school for a semester so he could gain 2 credits. It was pretty much a joke. Girls making out with each other in the hallway. Lock downs, drug sniffing dogs checking kids, bomb threats, absentee teachers, various forms of anarchy, fighting in the parking lot and day care center for all the little babies.
Don't be surpised if in the near future schools are 'reeducation centers' and Walmart is your ration center....
anon at 7:33pm
you make some great points, but the schools are already reeducation
centers! there is almost nothing taught in them that is bassed in reality!! what is taught, is the illuminati's invented reality and what they want all of society to believe is reality!!!
schools teach LIES so lets not sugar coat it folks, these LIES eminate from the spirit of iniquity!!!!!! the people in controll worship lucifer, and lucifer has created a reality other then GOD"S!!! it's all around you open your eyes and see!!!
GOD send a strong wind to clear the smoke of lucifers deceite!!! if it is in your will!!!!!!!amen
