Mark of Beast
Mark in the hand or forehead required for all transactions under the Satanic society mentioned in the New Testament (Revelation 13:16).
    "New World Order" proponents will require RFID code on virtually every item sold. Each RFID Barcode contained numbers 666. The United States Food and Drug Administration approved use of an implanted Microchip, as Regina Dugan advised in a 2015 AD Bilderberg meeting. Another "Mark of the Beast" is a Mind-Reading electronic tattoo. Dugan was head of DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) 2009-2012 AD, an executive at Google (2012-2016 AD), and currently heads Facebook's nefarious "Building 8" team. Other control mechanisms include: Soul Catcher Chip implanted behind the eyes to record everything in a person's life; Verichip implanted in the hand; nano-chips/nano-bots that can be ingested or breathed (used for health purposes, but also can be used to kill undesirables).
    Such "marks" are intended to control and reduce world population, as advocated by David Rockefeller and other prominent eugenicists. They also support goals enshrined on the Georgia Guidestones by its creator, R.C. Christian (alleged to be Robert Carter Cook and Ted Turner). In 2016 AD the European Union proposed use of a mandatory electronic ID to track all internet users and eliminate privacy.
In 2020 Bill Gates patented #WO:2020:060606, which would enable the New World Order to combine a digital monetary system to an embedded wrist tatoo on every human.
Mark of Cain
