Technology plays a very important role in Last Days prophecy. The
Antichrist will need and have powerful tools to control people. Given
that nobody - under normal circumstances - can control another person's
mind, although some people never stop trying, ( hypnotism, scientific
advertising, subliminal messages, mental conditioning, etc. ) the next
best thing is to control somebody's money.
Today's computers are nothing short of amazing in what they can do, and
how fast they can do it. There are already super computers in operation
that control global financial transactions. (credit cards, SWIFT, stock
markets etc.) The ultimate control will come when people will be obliged
to take a mark (number), which will identify them, and without which
nobody can buy food, services or whatever. All will be monitored and
recorded. You would be simply shocked to find out how much information about your person is already on file and available to various agencies, both governmental and civilian.
And he causes all,
both small and great,
rich and poor, free and slave,
to receive a mark on their right hand or on
their forehead, and that no one may buy or sell except
one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev. 13: 16-17

Rev. 13: 16-17
The reasons that will be given for the implementation of this "mark id"
which the Bible defines as
"THE MARK OF THE BEAST"
could be many: To
control terrorism, criminal organizations and therefore all illegal
trafficking such as drugs, black-marketing, illegal money-laundering
etc., or for initiating a redistribution of the world's wealth, after a
world-wide financial collapse, (which is an ever present and real
possibility), or whatever. However, the problem at that point will not
be the reasons, but rather the person in view of whom this mark will be ordered, namely the Antichrist.
The Bible is extremely clear on this point:
...If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive (his) mark
in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the
cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and
brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels and in the
presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment
ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no
rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
his image, and whosoever receiveth
the mark of his name.
Rev. 14: 9-11
One thing is clear: Whosoever will accept the mark, will consciously
and personally reject the Lord Jesus Christ and accept the Antichrist
as God. One particular warning must be issued here to all those who have
heard the Gospel and have ignored it; you are walking on thin ice and
you are in real danger of falling into a delusion which God Himself will
send to punish the unbelivers, and consequently, you will become unable
to discern the truth, and so they will fall for the lies of Antichrist.
(2 Thess. 2:11)
