THE TROUBLE WITH DIGITAL ANGELS By Thomas Horn
According to ADS, "The implantable transceiver sends and receives data and can be continuously tracked by GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) technology. The transceiver's power supply and actuation system are unlike anything ever created. When implanted within a body, the device is powered electromechanically through the movement of muscles, and it can be activated either by the 'wearer' or by the monitoring facility." In a company press release dated February 15th, ADS stated that "Digital Angel has generated a large and positive response from both the investing public and those who are interested in participating in the wide array of applications for this technology." ADS also claims that Digital Angel has "a variety of potential uses, such as
providing a To further advocate Digital Angel technology, Applied Digital Solutions launched a website http://www.digitalangel.net where viewers can peruse diagrams and read summary information. Although still in the developmental stage, a prototype of the device is scheduled for release by the end of 2000. Other manufacturers of sub-skin implants have quietly field-tested similar devices over the past few years. The London Times reported in October 1998, "Film stars and the children of millionaires are among 45 people, including several Britons, who have been fitted with the chips (called the Sky Eye) in secret tests." Due to civil liberty and privacy issues, the ACLU announced opposition to mandatory microchip implantation when applied to humans. The ACLU is certain to be a strange bedfellow of Christians and conservatives concerning this issue. THE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY? Many Christians believe that, before long, an antichrist system will appear. It will
be a New World Order, under which national boundaries dissolve, and ethnic groups,
ideologies, religions, and economics from around the world, orchestrate a single and
dominant According to popular Biblical interpretation, a single personality will surface at the head of the utopian administration. He will appear as a man of distinguished character, but will ultimately become "a king of fierce countenance" (Dan. 8:23). With imperious decree the Antichrist will facilitate a one-world government, universal religion, and globally monitored socialism. Those who refuse his New World Order will inevitably be imprisoned or destroyed, until at last he exalts himself "above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2 Thess. 2:4).
For many years the idea that humans could somehow succumb to little more than branded cattle, and that rugged individualism would thereafter be sacrificed for an anesthetized universal harmony, was repudiated by America’s greatest minds. Then, in the 1970’s, things began to change. Following a call by Nelson Rockefeller for the creation of a "New World Order," presidential candidate Jimmy Carter campaigned, saying, "We must replace balance of power politics with world order politics." During the 1980's President George Bush continued the one-world dirge, announcing over national television that "a New World Order" had arrived. Following the initial broadcast, President Bush addressed the Congress, saying,
Ever since the President's astonishing newscast, a parade of political and religious leaders have discharged a profusion of rhetoric aimed at implementing the goals of a New World Order. In his Friday Fax, Austin Ruse of Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute (www.c-fam.org) wrote:
Austin continues:
Developers of biometric implant chips employ similar language to announce compatible global technologies, and many Americans consider electronically marking humans or implanting a series of digital equations under the skin to be the natural progress of advancing and necessary technologies.
The following are a few examples:
[The ominous
Oregonian feature] Microchip implantation is currently introduced as a voluntary procedure. But a report written by Elaine M. Ramish for the Franklin Pierce Law Center says, "A [mandatory] national identification system via microchip implants could be achieved in two stages: Upon introduction as a voluntary system, the microchip implantation will appear to be palatable. After there is a familiarity with the procedure and a knowledge of its benefits, implantation would be mandatory." Writing for WorldNetDaily.com (Concern over microchip implants, 1999), Jon E. Dougherty quoted George Getz, the communications director for the Libertarian Party:
As Social Security numbers were first voluntary, then mandatory, biometric chip implants are universally inevitable unless citizens rise up in immediate and national opposition. People like Mr. Getz may be on to something. Conservatives and liberals alike better contact state and federal representatives while they still can and demand immediate protection. Laws preserving individual rights need to be enacted by Congress before Digital Angel and similar forces lead humanity down a high-tech path of no return.

Several weeks ago a disturbing secular
news story grabbed my attention. Applied Digital Solutions (ADS) received patent rights to
new technology named Digital Angel (TM). What's bothersome is that Digital Angel is a
miniature digital transceiver specifically designed for human implantation (

sovereignty. Such a system will supposedly be free of religious and political
extremes, and membership will tolerate the philosophical and cultural differences of its
constituents. Except for minor nonconformities, war, intolerance, and hunger will be a
thing of the past. 
The
Antichrist's widespread power will be derived at the expense of individual human
liberties. 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).

As far back
as 1973, Senior Scholastics introduced school age children to the concept of buying and
selling using numbers inserted in the forehead. In the September 20, 1973 feature
"Who Is Watching You?" the secular high school journal speculated: 
"All buying and selling in the program will be done by computer. No
currency, no change, no checks. In the program, people would receive a number that had
been assigned them tattooed in their wrist or forehead. The number is put on by laser beam
and cannot be felt. The number in the body is not seen with the naked eye and is as
permanent as your fingerprints. All items of consumer goods will be marked with a computer
mark. The computer outlet in the store which picks up the number on the items at the
checkstand will also pick up the number in the person's body and automatically total the
price and deduct the amount from the person's 'Special Drawing Rights' account."

affixed to a simple syringe containing an anti-bacterial solution. The needle is capped
and ready to forever identify something--or somebody."
