Rfids Should Not Be The Mark Of The Beast

From the human society lived in group of hunting, we have evolved into today world of globalization. People use Internet to connect everything, from friends, colleagues to small devices such as phones, refrigerators. Hence, it is reasonable for humans to apply it to keep track of what they are doing. Privacy, in a sense is taken away, is now more seriously threatened when devices as small as a grain of rice like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips can actually be implemented on human. As with every newborn technology which might be flooded with negative critics, RFIDs should not and will not be destined to become the mark of the beast because of the Bible, the ethics of technology and the benefit. I am not a Christian, but since literal

About the mark, probably the Book of Revelation is the only one containing the information. “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version) states the position which the mark is placed on, and tells if the man does not have the mark, he shall not buy or sell, which is very vague. Metaphorically, it is forbidden to go against God unless the person has the beast inflicted the wound, which perhaps could be caused by siding with the devils. In many cultures, the devils are considered is so wicked that they can injure or kill their own worshippers. Historically, the Book of Revelation is likely about the Roman who had its soldiers crucified Jesus on the cross and was responsible for Christian martyr in the Colosseum. And when one systematically kill other’s family, there will inevitably be hatred. New Testament scholar Craig C. Hill (2002) nailed it in his book “In God's Time: The Bible and the Future”, which is: “It is far more probable

As the name has said, active RFID does need a battery to continuously transmit the signal to the receiver while passive RFID does not need power but a reader to read it. In other words, one does not even need to be implanted with chips to be able to use technology of RFID. Mostly intended for identification purpose, RFID in transportation can be used for “identification of containers, pallets and trucks”, “tracking of vehicles”, “supporting, sorting and identification of shipments or airport luggage”, “tickets of public communication”, “monitoring of pharmaceutical transportation” and “usage of RFID to monitor the condition of tires in transport vehicles” (Wieczorek, 2015, p. 3). And as an “inexpensive, highly accurate, very practical, easy to maintain, supports indoor/outdoor learning, and enables situated, calm, and seamless services” sensor, authors Liu, Tan and Chu (2009) discover a new way of applying RFID in learning science about nature (p. 162). It will be predictable to see some people will embed the chip on their body for the benefit RFID can bring, just like phone, credit card, etc. The benefit RFID can bring, equipped with the care of privacy, will be the living example to show the beast does not leave the mark on RFID to harm
