"The Hour of Temptation"
The Ax and the Handle
There is a story told about a man who owned an ax with a handle... just two parts :the head of the ax and the handle.
After many uses the ax-head wore out and he replaced it with a new ax-head.
And again after many more uses, he even needed to replace the worn out handle.
So the question remains, does he now have the same ax he originally started with ?
No, he does not have the original ax he started with.
The answer is an obvious NO.
The ax-head has been replaced and the handle has been replaced, and he now has nothing left of the original. He now has an altogether new device. Things aren't always as they appear to be.
It is the same with modern technology.
Devices start out innocent enough, being a service to the owner.
And then somewhere along the line, the device owns the person.
The device becomes the controller, and enslavement follows.
Such is the case in the financial world that is soon to spring upon us.
e-ID There is a new device out called a
"Government MultiPurpose Card Consortium " ( GMPC ).
It is a smart card with a microprocessor chip that boasts of being the first-ever government card with many, many "solutions".
( Beware of the word "solutions" ... a synonym for future enslavement).
The "solutions " engendered by this one-card-for-everything are:personal identificationpassport, driver's license, bankcard ( for all financial transactions) medical information access card and "which also acts as the access key to other services" http://www.securitydocumentworld.com/public/news.cfm?&m1=c_10&m2=c_6&m3=e_0&m4=e_0&subItemID=528
[ Ed: possible future applications :computer access, employment clocking-in card, public transportation, bookstores, gas stations, libraries, access card for government buildings and for grocery store access , malls; insurance-access, and on and on and on ?? ]
This all-in-one card comes complete with your unique identifying number and biometric-verification ability.
It is referred to as a "multi-functional e-ID card" and is being piloted in the country of Malaysia ( your neck of the woods, John).
Performing seamless abilities there, it most likely will pave the way for standardized global e-ID cards, applicable in all nations. And perhaps it will be sooner, rather than later.Last week Jim Williams of Homeland Security spoke of the necessity of global ID cards ( not just national ).
No one will be able to walk about anonymously, once they leave their home.
Already in Holland, the Netherlands,a national ID card is mandatory there. Everyone is required to carry their ID once they step outside their home.In the future, ( more probable than not ) this multifunctional e-ID card will be required by all governments -- to be presented upon request-- for all people on the globe, under penalty of fines and / or imprisonment.
This will ensure that those who resist the subdermal chip will still have a means of identification. The chip will always remain a choice .
Hopefully the financial application of the e-ID card will also remain a choice, yet it will become a strong "temptation" ( Rev. 3:10 ) for a person to go down that economic slippery slope and into the 666 System, via the back door.
The Juggernaut of Financial ApplicationApplying the above analysis : the e-ID card as the ax-headThe final financial application as the handle
As long as one uses the e-ID card for public identification, there is no problem with it.
And even if one should use it financially as they would a regular charge card , again there is nothing wrong with it.But now comes the switch job... changing the ax-head and the handle.If the day comes when this card becomes part of an enclosed cashless system, and if it is also associated in any way with the coming beast of Revelation 13 and 14, then the device is not the original device, but an enslavement of the souls of mankind. We are expressly warned in Revelation 14 and 15 of the following perils:1. Not to worship the beast ( show loyalty or allegiance to him and his system )2. Not to worship his image ( most likely to be displayed on smart-cards, billboards, TV, internet ... 24x7 )3. And not to take the mark of his name ( "mark" is explained in Rev. 13: 16-18 as participating in the 666 economic system of buying and selling ; the inference here is the receiving of the subdermal chip )4. Rev. 15: 2 the number of his name ( associating with the 666 economic system )You will notice five categories underlined above of which we are to have nothing to do with concerning the beast:his worship, his image, his name, his number and his mark.ISSUESSome moral issues arise over this "one-card-for-all-functions", such as .....1. First of all, carrying the card for ID purposes will most likely become mandatory. So far .... OK.2. If the other functions are optional functions ( if we are still able to use cash only ) ... OK.3. If there is no IMAGE of the beast, neither his name, nor his 666 number associated with this card ... OK.4. But -- if, in any way, his image, name or number becomes associated with the financial use of this card, then ... NOT ok .The hour of temptation coming upon all those who dwell upon the earth ......We come to see then how an innocent device such as an e-ID card can easily turn into a soul-devouring dragon when affiliated with the beast- system. How sad that we may be mandated to have the e-ID card for public identification upon request. How tempting then to also use this same e-ID card for financial purchases .It would be soooo easy. Especially when a lot of perks come with it : reduced prices, prizes etc. There are all kinds of goodies out there called "gentle persuasions", yet they skillfully twist the arm all the same.GOTCHA ! ( got-you ) As the e-ID card morphs into an all-inclusive and economically enclosed beast-system, the Dragon ( Satan, Rev. 12 ) can now capture souls through the back door . Might souls that once were leery of a subdermal chip, now take the MOB ( Mark of the Beast ) subdermal chip without hesitation , having already financially transacted with the e-ID card in its "innocent" phase ? Is the ax the same ? Or has the handle and the ax-head changed ? Many people may willfully close their eyes to the potential hidden in this future economic application of the e-ID card. ( We realize what we want to realize ).
The next logical step for them will be to take the subdermal 666 Mark of the Beast ....
"And they worshipped the Dragon " ( Rev. 13:4 ).
Is the financial application of the e-ID card the same as the MOB ? Not exactly. But it is so close that I personally would not transact financially with it at all. We must remember at all times that the cardinal commandment given by the third angel in Rev. 14 is not to worship the beast ...not to become affiliated with his 666 economic and enclosed ( totally cashless ) system in any way, shape or form.
We must lay the ax to the root ( Matthew 3:10 ) and cut off that which offends ( Mark 9 )."Be ye separate" says 2 Corinthians 6:17 . We are commanded in Rev. 18:4 to
"Get out" of the Babylonian system".
