National ID Card- Mark of the Beast?

Nineteen Jurisdictions Now Meet Federal REAL ID Rules: 1/3 of the Way There

¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ 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.

Finger prints on the hand...eyes in the forehead.

Is the national ID card the next step toward the imposition of the biblical “mark of the beast” Christians believe will be required to buy and sell during the Last Days?

 That’s the contention of a growing group of believers who are working to turn back the approval of the Real ID Act by Congress last year. Public Law 109-13 requires the national ID portion of the plan go into effect by May 2008.

 “There is a prophecy in the Bible that foretells a time when every person will be required to have a mark or a number, without which he or she will not be able to participate in the economy,” states the Christian website NoNationalID.com. “The prophecy is 2,000 years old, but it has been impossible for it to come to pass until now. With the invention of the computer and the Internet, this prophecy of buying and selling, using a number, can now be implemented at any time. Has the time for the fulfillment of this prophecy arrived?”

Last year, the governors of all states were notified by DHS that each needed to provide a status report on REAL ID compliance. All but two states, Arizona and Pennsylvania, provided a response. Beginning in the autumn of 2013, enforcement will begin directed at non-compliant states. However, federal agencies will continue to accept all licenses and identification cards for boarding commercial aircraft and other official purposes until December 1, 2014. On that date, unless a further extension is provided, residents of non-compliant states will need a passport or another federally accepted document for official purposes.

The REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, enacts the 9/11 Commission's recommendation that the Federal Government "set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses." The Act prohibits the Federal Government from accepting driver's licenses and ID cards that do not meet a minimum security standard. The minimum standard includes processes to protect the card against counterfeiting and requires reliable documentation from an applicant to prove who he or she claims. Details and an updated map are available on CSDL's website at www.secure-license.org.
