A friend of mine (who is deeply religious btw) has always said at the coming of the antichrist we will all end up being branded and monitored closely by the New World Order. He believes the microchipping of humans for identification purposes to be the fulfillment of the Bible Prophesy;

He will force 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. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six [666]? (Rev. 13:16-18).

I've been listening to his rantings on this for about 15years, we used to laugh and pour him another Jameson but really WHO KNOWS?

He goes on alot about this Maitreya guy too, anybody heard of him?
