This biometric-ID thing has already been rolled out in India, but now there are efforts to link everything to this one ID. And that is being met with resistance, thankfully.
I believe God is not opposed to technology, but he has given us some red lines that we are not to cross, not because (I believe) the technology is evil but because it’ll be used to propagate evil to the extent of destroying our everlasting future.
Many things in the past were purported to be this cryptic mark, but they were not so. I do believe the mark will be a physical mark rolled out globally, not locally. But this biometric-ID thing is truly unnerving! (Below is a personal account of why.)
When the central government here made the linking mandatory, I struggled for days deciding what to do. If this thing were the ultimate mark, I’d be destroying myself by going ahead with the linking procedure—without any hope of redemption. But if it wasn’t, then I was needlessly cutting myself off from society. (I’m talking about linking phones, bank accounts—everything relevant—to this ID or losing them completely!)
Not knowing what to do, I waited as long as I could to avoid linking, but not receiving any clear revelation, off I went to complete the account-linking procedure. But I found that the banks were closed (possibly, the first visible sign that I was not to go ahead with this). I thought I’d try the ATM. I went and stood before it and started the steps, but with little to no peace at all, during this time.
But then the screen said, “Please enter your…number.” And at that, any remnants of peace just evaporated. I started trembling and sweating, like literally! It was like everything was screaming from within me “Don’t do it!” After what seemed like an eternity, I pulled my ATM card out and walked away. I prayed for a while, hoping to get some clarity. But I didn’t.
As I slowly made my way home after this episode, I kept wondering what was I going to do. Then I heard a gentle voice speak up in my spirit: “This is not the mark of the beast but a prelude to it. Therefore, don’t be afraid of it.” But I couldn’t relate these words to the horrifying lack of internal peace earlier.
Later that evening I learned that the deadline had been postponed by another three months.
I pondered the words and the whole sequence of events that day. When I shared this with a friend, she shared that while she did not think this was the mark of the beast, it was still not a good idea to go ahead with the linking because it seemed like a ploy on the part of the central government to monitor people closely, particularly Christians and Muslims.
Now I hadn’t thought of that angle, but I did receive a word from the Lord toward the beginning of the year that the current central government of India would persecute Christians.
So I guess what I am saying is that the lack of peace about a piece of technology does not necessarily mean that it is the mark of the beast. It could simply be a prelude, but evil nonetheless. And if there is a way to avoid that prelude, I believe God would encourage us to do so. But if there’s no way to avoid that prelude…I am not sure. What do you folks think?

Sujit was working in Chennai in late 2015 when the Lord began to nudge him to draw closer to Him. That was the beginning of a major spiritual transformation in his life, and he has not looked back since. As someone who has experienced God’s undeserving love, grace, and mercy personally, Sujit would like people to know that the Lord has no pleasure in the death of the unrighteous, but would rather see them repent and live.
Sujit, I experienced the beginning of resistance to Christians in northern India 2 years ago. A group of 7 of us from my church arrived in March of 2016, landing in Chennai to board a smaller plane to southern India to hold some crusades that an Indian pastor had already set up. We had done online VISA’s which were approved, but were held in the Chennai airport for 8 hours until the next flight would be leaving for the US. We were denied entry and put on that plane back home! Fastest trip across the globe I have ever taken. I never got to step foot into your beautiful city.
Thank you for sharing this, Susie.
I had a similar experience when God told me that the current government of India would persecute Christians. On the surface, it seemed pretty outlandish when I jotted it down in my diary, because I felt the government could not do this openly. Shortly after I received this word though, God told me to register for a Christian conference in Chennai that a foreign speaker would be gracing. The conference never materialized, and when I asked God why, he led me to find out the reason why. It turned out that the speaker’s visa was denied or entry was refused. Only then did I realize the gravity of what God had told me earlier.
Wow Sujit. What a heartfelt testimony. I have been pondering on it since you posted this because I had a dream about the mark the same day you posted this. Please take it to the Lord for what He wants to reveal to you since I really feel a strong leading in sharing it with you.
The dream is a bit personal to share all the details on a public site, but I do remember seeing someone getting his face recognized by a laptop screen and receiving the mark on the forehead right from the computer screen. The person willingly took the mark because it was packaged as a new payroll payment method that was being enforced at work and they felt that it could not be the mark, because they couldn’t buy nor sell with it just get paid from work. However, in the dream I knew this new method was the mark of the beast.
God bless you Sujit and I have you in my prayers!
Hi Francy , pray you are doing well Sister . We can see people are being trained thru media to want / need the next new tech thing , almost like a drug . The LORD has told me most will take the mark willingly . Those that don’t take it , will be seen as anti tech and holding the rest back and a backwards people , I believe . Blessings !
It surprises me that there are so few people thinking in the term ” whether I will make it into heaven or not “.
Hi my dear brother John Barry!
I always think so fondly of you. I remember when you first helped me with spiritual warfare right after I was born again 🙂 I am very well, thanks to My Lord Jesus who gives me such peace that surpasses all understanding. How are you? I read your comment about praying in agreement and I will begin to start praying this way with my biological born-again sister. We have so many loved ones who need our Savior… So thank you for sharing.
But in regards to your comment, John, I’ve had this conviction in my spirit about the new iPhone X with its face recognition and prior to that with the fingerprinting… I am in awe to see family members just willingly do it without not even considering that they’re just giving away so much of their privacy. So your comment just confirms what I have been feeling all along. I will stick to my old phone version… I already seem like anti-tech to some people.
God bless you brother John!
Sister Francy I remember when you were born again , you have taken to the Word like a fish to water and you are a blessing . I am so glad you & your sister are going to pray in agreement , you will like the results and so will those you pray for ! I will pray for you both and I know GOD is pleased & proud of you Mighty Women of GOD . Blessings & Prayers !
Much love to you brother John.
Blessings & prayers to you as well.
Hey brother John,
I came up with a little system about keeping track who my sister and I are praying in agreement for. It’s a simple spreadsheet with a section for name & what we prayed for, date prayer was made and date fulfilled. One of our prayers came to pass in less than an hour! Glory to God.
Hope this helps you and your prayer partner if you have not thought of keeping track this way.
Love,
Francy
Sister Francy that is an awesome idea , I like it ! We will start one today . Glory to ABBA GOD , one prayer came to pass in an hour !!! Matthew 18 : 19-20 is an awesome tool in the hands of true believers , you ladies & HOLY SPIRIT put a smile on my face 🙂 . Blessings my friend !
Hi brother John,
Just wanted to let you know that we prayed for Corilee last Sunday! Please keep me posted. We’re having even more amazing results especially in my sister’s family! Glory to God!
I saw you prayed for some people here on Z3.. I will join you in agreement on these prayers as well!
Wow.. I also read your other comment and I wanted to tell you that the Lord has also placed in my heart to pray for mercy for my own unsaved relatives and friends. Especially to repent for them. The other day, I actually felt a wind of darkness.. sort of like when you see a cloud passing by..but I did not see that, just felt it in my spirit and for two days I had a feeling of such grief in my heart.
May God have mercy with all of us.
Love you John!
My awesome sister Francy , thank you for the prayers , Corilee is still in the struggle and thank your sister too . I am standing with you both for your unsaved ones , I praise GOD for such sisters in the LORD who know how to pray . I know Satan shakes in his boots when he sees you coming !!! I pray GODs Glory would be visible on you both as you walk before HIM . All Blessings my friend & sister !
Hi sister Francy , I just got word Corilee decided to stay and fight for the church today – A big Praise GOD . Thank you for the prayers on this , they were needed . I am glad HOLY SPIRIT is moving in your sisters family – Goooo GOD , I look forward to hearing more one day , they don’t have a chance with you ladies praying 🙂 . Blessings
Fancy I have a new friend , Pastor Corilee , she took over a small church in Iowa 6 months ago , the church is steeped in religion and the demonic she believes . She is ready to give up , HOLY SPIRIT does not want her to give up , but fight for HIS territory . I would ask you and your sister to lift this up please . Blessings & Prayers !
Francy,
” receiving the mark on the forehead right from the computer screen “. What is it the mark on the forehead right from the computer screen ? Do you mean ” getting the face recognized by a laptop screen ” is the mark of beast?
( I try to update my knowledge about it. )
Hi William,
In the dream, I saw the person getting an actual mark on the forehead right from the computer screen. So I was able to see the mark on the person’s forehead after his face was recognized by the computer screen.
I hope this helps.
Blessings!
that is so disturbing Francy , I was under the impression that folks would be knowingly taking the mark by rejecting Jesus and taking a verbal “vow” as it were to satan or the NWO world system “global citizens or what ever they will call it – not just getting “an upgrade” on their phone ..yikes scary times
I am still of the belief that we will have to knowingly accept something by rejecting Christ or being knowingly disobedient to the command of Christ by participating. If it is tied to our ability to access money, food or provision, I think some Christians will justify in their minds that “God would want me to feed my children”… thereby being deceived into accepting it instead of relying on the Father to provide in supernatural ways. Most churches of believers are not teaching that He operates in any supernatural ways.
Heather,
I believe God made it clear to me that the mark will not be marketed as “the mark”; it will be marketed as something cool, convenient, secure, something necessary for our safety, but harmless all the same. It will be marketed as something beneficial and necessary under the cover of deception.
I believe each one of us should be led by the Holy Spirit to decide when and where and how to draw the line. He may lead us to not adopt a piece of technology not because it is the ultimate mark but simply because beyond the publicized aim of a technology there may well be a nefarious aim that the common public wouldn’t know.
God has made it aware to me it will appear as some form of ‘good’, man is a carbon based life form and carbon in its simple form is made of 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons. Which is why even though I’m not denying climate change or carbon in our atmosphere getting worse, I will be very wary of the space.
Hi, Francy.
Thank you for sharing the dream and for your prayers. I did take up your dream in prayer and asked God what was its significance. Below are snippets of what I believe he told me.
It’s not the first time I’ve asked this, but his response has been along the same lines: No matter how it is marketed, and it will be marketed in several ways, we are not take a mark on our forehead or right hand.
When I asked him what the mark was, he said it was advanced technology.
And the reason for avoiding the mark he said is not simply a question of obedience or allegiance. He actually emphasized that Christ came to seek and save the lost—the stubborn, the disobedient, the obstinate—to make it clear that receiving the mark went beyond the issues of obedience and allegiance. He said the reason for avoiding the mark is that it would change one’s DNA and render the person irredeemable.
I also took the opportunity to ask him what biometrics have to do with the mark. He said that it was acclimatization training for the mark and that biometric data can be misused or, worse, abused but that collecting it or giving it did not change one’s DNA.
He seemed to emphasize three essentials that I think are the supporting pillars for what I believe he revealed about the mark’s ultimate agenda—to render us irredeemable by God:
1. The person has to be willing to receive the mark.
2. The mark will be advanced technology.
3. The mark will be either on the forehead or on the right hand.
Without these three pillars, it seems the agenda will not work or perhaps, more correctly, God will not allow it to work.
Do pray about what I’ve shared, and thanks again for sharing your dream and praying for me. We all need each other’s prayers.
Sujit, when I read your Z3 post a few days ago about India’s biometric ID card I remembered seeing an online report that a similar card may be coming soon to America. Then just now I came across this new WND article:
‘Police state’ national ID card tucked inside major bill
“For a long time, many Americans have been fearful of a biometric national-identity card coming to fruition. And now, its creation is possibly imminent, and it has privacy advocates sounding the alarm …”
http://www.wnd.com/2018/01/police-state-national-id-card-tucked-in-major-bill/
A VERY informative website to look at and she has many video’s out too, is Deborah Tavares, http://www.stopthecrime.net She has exposed and talks about all kinds of things everything from the dangers of 5G, the NASA War Document, the IEEE Future Death Trap, CARF which is Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that each city has and how they are abusing our funds, weather warfare, and so much more. Some of this information will shock you, things alot already know but boy does it give you chills to see what they are trying to do to us! I’d recommend everybody listen to some of her video’s. She also talks about the dangers of vaccinations. One I listened to last night was ‘War! The Worst Genocide the Planet has Ever Known’ 1/17/18 on the Power Hour with Daniel Brigman. She also has one on the flu epidemic. Also check out ‘Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars’.
Don’t do it!
Revelation 13:16-18
16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
If you are still not convinced, you live in Chennai, right? There is a Prophet of God named Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj in Chennai India. Look him up, find him and ask him.
Thanks for sharing this Sujit. We often hear about the mark of the beast but your perspective on how many will have to make decisions really brought this to the forefront. One of the things that was startling in your account at the ATM is that many people are going to be in similar situations and maybe even Christians and will find themselves taking on the mark without being aware. One thing we know for sure: deception is the devil’s greatest and most effective tool that he showcased in the garden of eden and will continue to until he is cast in the bottomless pit. What we also know for sure is no matter who you are, and even if you claim to be a christian who was deceived, God made it clear that He will make no exception to anybody who takes on the mark. Fortunately, there is a bright spot in what you shared. You mentioned you sought the Lord on what to do. Not only did you seek the Lord, you have trained your spirit man to hear his voice. I believe God constantly talks to everyone but training our spirit to understand his communication takes some time. So this is an affirmation of what the scriptures already tell us: seek the Lord in all things even when they seem mundane.
Article from yesterday 1/24/18 that includes national ID cards in U.S.: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-24/things-are-getting-worse-not-better-round-ups-checkpoints-national-id-cards?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+zerohedge%2Ffeed+%28zero+hedge+-+on+a+long+enough+timeline%2C+the+survival+rate+for+everyone+drops+to+zero%29
My thoughts on the Mark, Sunjit: The Beast in Daniel 11 is represented by the King of the North. There is an historic fulfillment but verses 29 forward apply especially to the end.
It says: Dan 11:30 “For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and be enraged and take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant.
Dan 11:31 Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.
Dan 11:32 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.”
The final issue is whether Christ’s followers stay true to the covenant, the Ten Commandments. Those who allow the Lord to write his law on their hearts are sealed under the New Covenant. Those who don’t receive the Mark. It’s when you agree to take that Mark so that you can buy and sell on condition that you renounce your allegiance to the law of God that you receive the mark of the beast.
The three commandments that are under greatest attack now are the second, fourth and seventh. Catholicism removed the second from the law several centuries ago from their bibles and divided the 10th in two so that the number is preserved, and the majority of the world religions except Protestants and Muslims reject it as well. Few today, Christian and non-Christian honor the Sabbath in spirit and truth. And now the world has not only embraced moral decadence but also many perversions as well. For the sake of the wayward world, the morally confused, we need to be resolved in the love of Christ to stand firm and do the exploits that testify clearly in favor of truth and righteousness.
I think your answer was found within the body of the message: “This is not the mark of the beast but a prelude to it. Therefore, don’t be afraid of it.” We must function in society and God has given us the maker to watch for….which is: “A mark “in” your right hand or “in” your forehead. Until that time……we must conduct business and function….God has done His part to warn us with the essential information to not accept the MARK. It’s on our part to reject the MARK for His Great Name’s Sake and for our own eternal sake when we’re confronted with the ultimatum of having to take it. And we all know that if you are born again-YOU WILL NOT TAKE IT LEST YE DIE FOREVER.
