Your Future (Part 2 - RFID)

In the previous part we looked at the Rapture of the Church and how it is different from the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This installment we are looking at some signs of the coming world government ruled by the Beast. Remember, as I said, the closer these events come to unifying the world, it makes the Rapture much nearer. The Rapture can happen today or tomorrow because there is nothing preventing the Lord’s return.

Also previously, we briefly looked at Revelation 13:16-17 that says, “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: 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.” We could see from this passage we can look for the establishment of a one world economy, a mandatory identification system, an ID that controls buying and selling, devices or technology that people use for commerce placed into the right hand or forehead, and other similar items or events.

This time we explore what is happening with DTV, RFID, WiFi, Enhanced Driver’s Licenses. Our first question this month is: Why is the United States Government is so interested in moving people toward Digital instead of Analog Television. Is the government really so concerned with the quality of your picture or the addition of extra channels? Is there another reason? A reason they don’t want you to know or are less willing for you to learn?

When you go to the official government website, DTV.gov, you can find a bunch of information. They tell you when the change will happen, how to attach your digital converter box, their partners in the transition, and how to get your $40 discount coupon. One question they are not answering is: WHY they are forcing this change. Here is what the official government website has to say: “Why are we switching to DTV? An important benefit of the switch to all-digital broadcasting is that it will free up parts of the valuable broadcast spectrum for public safety communications (such as police, fire departments, and rescue squads). Also, some of the spectrum will be auctioned to companies that will be able to provide consumers with more advanced wireless services (such as wireless broadband).”

Notice they start their answer by answering a question that has not been asked. The question was “Why are we switching to DTV?” Their answer fits the question, “What is an important benefit of the switch to DTV.” I don’t want to know an important benefit, I am sure there are many benefits of the switch, but WHY are we being forced to switch?

Here is the answer I found in my research. Back in the 1920’s when broadcast frequencies were being regulated, the government ordered certain wavelengths or frequencies to only be used for certain purposes by certain licensed organizations. If a company had a license from the government (FCC) for a frequency in the AM Radio range, they could broadcast an AM Radio program only on that frequency. This kept one station from using the frequency of another station. AM Radio, FM Radio, Television VHF and Television UHF were assigned their own frequencies. There was no thought given to the need for future needs generated by new technology.

Some time later a new broadcast signal was invented called WiFi. These radio waves were permitted at certain frequencies after most of the useable frequencies had already been assigned. Businesses liked WiFi because they could connect a computer to a printer, a scanner, another computer or even the Internet without using expensive and clumsy wires. WiFi quickly became very popular. It rapidly became a standard installation in most laptop computers. Next it moved into phones, making them able to access a computer or the internet without using a wire.

At the same time WiFi was becoming popular, another related technology started to grow. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip was being used in pets, products, and people. The RFID chip emits a signal, like a tiny radio station, that can be read and tracked by a WiFi system. RFID chips are now found in many animals, attached to products, embedded into Driver’s Licenses and Passport Cards, and inserted into the hands and arms of humans. Each of these devices, when activated, sends out an identification number. When a computer receives this number it instantly matches it to a database of information. This system can take instant inventory of a whole palate of products by simply driving the forklift past a reader.

Currently RFID is being used in “Enhanced Driver’s Licenses”, Passport Cards, and Credit and Debit cards. As this technology will be ultimately used to identify every person in the world, and used for the buying and selling of every product, there is an immediate need to get useable radio frequencies. Once analog TV frequencies are made available, RFID and WiFi can be used in a wider array of situations. This is the real reason for moving TV off the analog frequencies. The TV frequencies will be used for WiFi antennas to receive signals from RFID chips coming soon to your ID and banking cards.

Next installment we will look at how you will be able to purchase a loaf of bread with your driver’s license or buy merchandise with the wave of your hand. Revelation 13:17 says, “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.” Until next time, keep studying the Bible.
