Revelation 13
16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
VeriChip™ - There when you need it

The VeriChip minaturized Radio Freqency Identifcation (RFID) Device is the core of all VeriChip applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip contains a unique verification number, which can be used to access a subscriber-supplied database providing personal related information. And unlike conventional forms of identification, VeriChip cannot be lost, stolen, misplaced or counterfeited.

Once implanted just under the skin, via a quick, painless outpatient procedure (much like getting a shot), the VeriChip can be scanned when necessary with a proprietary VeriChip scanner. A small amount of Radio Freqency Energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the individuals unique verification (VeriChipID) number. The VeriChip Subscriber Number then provides instant access to the Global VeriChip Subscriber (GVS) Registry - through secure, password protected web access to subscriber-supplied information. This data is maintained by state-of-the-art GVS Registry Operations Centers located in Riverside, California and Owings, Maryland.

Editor's note: The April issue of WND's monthly print magazine, Whistleblower, takes an in-depth look at implanted chips, futuristic surveillance technologies and the virtual end to privacy. One of the companies profiled in that issue is the subject of this report – Digital Angel Corporation, manufacturer of the "Digital Angel" tracking device.

Making good on its promise to "achieve a global presence," Digital Angel Corporation – manufacturer and marketer of high-tech, implantable devices for tracking human beings – has opened a research and development facility in Shen Zhen, a special economic zone near Hong Kong, hoping to cash in on vast markets in China and the Far East.
As WorldNetDaily first reported, Digital Angel is a sophisticated, miniaturized tracking device intended by its manufacturer for subdermal implantation in large numbers of human beings. After heavy publicity, the manufacturer last year deflected criticism from privacy advocates and Christians concerned over biblical prophesy by removing all references to human implantation from its website and literature, only to re-introduce human implantation – with a product called VeriChip – after Sept. 11, due to the nation's new preoccupation with security.

..."The idea of such an ID chip has many supporters. But it also has its critics, especially among privacy advocates. One attorney for a privacy group pointed out that new technologies are always used for good purposes at first. But he warned, "The problem is that you always have to think about what the device will be used for tomorrow."
