We previously reported how European companies were implanting microchips in employees and how this would spread. Now for the first time, a U.S. company is implanting microchips in their employees for access and purchases.
The program — a partnership between Three Square Market and the Swedish company Biohax International — is believed to be the first of its kind in the United States, but it has already been done in Europe as we previously posted at a Swedish company named Epicenter.
Three Square Market, a technology company in Wisconsin, has become the first in the US to roll out microchip implants for all its employees, and says it’s expecting large numbers of employees to enter the program.
The costs of the implants will be paid for by the company on the employees’ behalf and the roll-out could mean employees would no longer need keys and cards where people are recognized, doors open, and transactions paid for with the wave of a micro-chipped hand.
As if to prove the safety of the technology, the CEO says his wife and children will also receive the implants coinciding with a “chip party” being held at the company’s headquarters in River Falls, Wisconsin.
But an information technology and public policy professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College said that technology designed for one purpose may later be used for another.
A microchip implanted today to allow for easy building access and payments could be used later in more invasive ways, for example to track and control people without their consent or knowledge.
That once they are implanted, it’s very hard to predict or stop a future widening of their usage.
Three Square Market management said that as a technology company they’re excited about it and they see this as the future.
This is another sign pointing to the Signs of the Last Days prophecy in Revelation where a Mark of the Beast in a world government causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the Mark of the Beast.
The prophecy describes how that the number of the beast, … is the number of a man: His number is 666. And if anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand… they will be tormented with fire and brimstone.
The Signs of the Last Days prophecies are becoming stronger and widespread encouraging us to make sure of our salvation through Jesus Christ and to watch and pray for the coming of Jesus for his Church.
