Homo Nexus:
Will the Mark of the Beast be
an Implantable Microchip
or Something Far Worse?
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:Revelation 13:16-18
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.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,On the contrary, those in Heaven will have gotten VICTORY OVER THE MARK and have NOT taken it:
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 14:9-11
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.Note that there is no provision for Christians who take the Mark. Jesus Christ Himself even warned that the deception will be so great, that if it were possible, even the elect of God would be deceived. So all the lukewarm, worldly, fence-sitting “Christians” who take the Mark will end up in Hell with everyone else. The Bible makes it very clear that if you take the Mark, you will burn. No exceptions. Yes, I know that the Left Behind series shows a Christian taking the Mark and remaining a Christian, but that is a lie inspired by Satan to trick you into the lake of fire with him. Don't listen to those liars who wrote the Left Behind series! Read the Bible!!! It is the truth!! Let God be true, but every man a liar!!! (Romans 3:4) But what is it about the Mark that automatically damns to Hell all those who receive it?
Revelation 15:2
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,Therefore, taking the Mark will be synonymous with worshiping the image of the beast. Those who worship him take it. Those who take it worship him. They may even be transformed to become beasts themselves. Those who don't worship the image shall be killed. Those who refuse the Mark shall be killed. But how will they get the population to go along with this? Simple. All they have to do is convince them that those who refuse are a worthless subhuman species, the cause of all of society's ills. It has worked before!
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 14:9,11
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Revelation 16:2
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 19:20
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4
Numans: Rise of the superhumansJoel Garreau sees the world dividing into three different kinds of humans: “the enhanced, the naturals and the rest”. Does this not indeed fit into the New World Order classification system of Blue, Red, and Black, with the “enhanced” as the pro-NWO Blues, the naturals as the anti-NWO Blacks, and the rest as the neutral Reds. (See my article Citizen Classification in the New World Order for details.) He even shows who the “naturals” will be: “the naturals will be those who eschew enhancements for higher reasons, just as vegetarians forgo meat and fundamentalists forgo what they see as illicit pleasures.” They will “swear off all genetic modification on ethical and religious grounds.” Fundamental, Bible-believing Christians, he implies, will not go along with this! The naturals, those who refuse enhancement, do it for higher reasons, just as (Christian) fundamentalists abhor sinful pleasures. We are the foes, the Blacklisted, because we believe that God created man in His own image, and scoff at the notion that we are the blind product of time and chance! And guess what? According to the MSNBC interactive, these “Numans could eventually come into conflict with naturals, but which will prevail?” Will a super-race be engineered? Will this super-race oppress those who refuse genetic modification?
We’ve already seen the future of enhanced humans, and his name is Barry Bonds.
The controversy surrounding the San Francisco Giants slugger, and whether steroids played a role in the bulked-up look that he and other baseball players have taken on, is only a foretaste of what’s coming as scientists find new genetic and pharmacological ways to improve performance.
Developments in the field are coming so quickly that social commentator Joel Garreau argues that they represent a new form of evolution. This radical kind of evolution moves much more quickly than biological evolution, which can take millions of years, or even cultural evolution, which works on a scale of hundreds or thousands of years.
How long before this new wave of evolution spawns a new kind of human? “Try 20 years,” Garreau told MSNBC.com.
In his latest book, “Radical Evolution,” Garreau reels off a litany of high-tech enhancements, ranging from steroid Supermen, to camera-equipped flying drones, to pills that keep soldiers going without sleep or food for days.

(1) The intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally improving the human condition through applied reason, especially by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.The Extropy Institute, another transhumanist organization, gives this definition:
(2) The study of the ramifications, promises, and potential dangers of technologies that will enable us to overcome fundamental human limitations, and the related study of the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies.
What is transhumanism? Transhumanism was given its first definition and characterization by Dr. Max More (in Extropy The Journal of Transhumanist Thought #6, 1990) "Transhumanism is a class of philosophies that seek to guide us towards a posthuman condition. Transhumanism shares many elements of humanism, including a respect for reason and science, a commitment to progress, and a valuing of human (or transhuman) existence in this life [..]. Transhumanism differs from humanism in recognizing and anticipating the radical alterations in the nature and possibilities of our lives resulting from various sciences and technologies[…]"So basically, a transhumanist believes that we are still evolving and that a new species of humans will eventually develop, as does most evolutionists. However, transhumanists do not want to wait for this next evolutionary step to happen and advocate intelligent evolution: humans designing our own next species. They believe that we should use every technology at our disposal to improve the human species. They even desire to become transhuman themselves (part human, part ???) or even posthuman (something completely not human). No transhumans exist openly, but we never can know what is happening in the super-secret “franken-labs” around this nation.
Other definitions of "transhumanism" have been written over the years, such as "Transhumanism is the philosophy that we can and should develop to higher levels, physically, mentally and socially using rational methods." (Dr. Anders Sandberg), and "Transhumanism is the idea that new technologies are likely to change the world so much in the next century or two that our descendants will in many ways no longer be 'human'" (Dr. Robin Hanson)...
A transhuman is a human in transition. We are transhuman to the extent that we seek to become posthuman and take action to prepare for a posthuman future. This involves learning about and making use of new technologies that can increase our capacities and life expectancy, questioning common assumptions, and transforming ourselves ready for the future, rising above outmoded human beliefs and behaviors...
Some of the disciplines that transhumanists currently expect to play a role in allowing us to become posthuman include genetic engineering, neural-computer integration, biomedicine and nanobiotechnology, regenerative medicine, and the cognitive sciences. (See http://www.extropy.org/faq.htm#1.1).
Genetics (Tampering with the human DNA. Recreating individuals in the image of the Beast?)Of the technologies above, genetic engineering is the most disturbing, and will be the focus of this article. The other technologies advocated by transhumanists will be covered more in dept at a future date. Genetic engineering is more dangerous, because unlike these other technologies, which only involve introducing non-biological devices into the body, it actually changes the genetic code, the blueprint for human life. Genetic engineering has the capability to take a man made in the image of God and recreate him in the image that is desired. How much modification to the genetic code is required to give superhuman traits? For this, in my opinion, is where the image of God is lost. Gene therapy to fight genetic disorders cannot add superhuman capabilities; it only corrects mutations in the genetic code. Alterations that transform a human into a part-human, part-who-knows-what is the real danger of genetic engineering. Being converted into a transhuman no longer bearing God's image is the real hazard of re-engineering the human race!
Robotics (Turn individuals into cyborgs, half man, half machine.)
Information Technology (Neural-computer integration connects individuals into the “hive mind” or “world brain” through wireless internet.)
Nanotechnology (Nanorobots inserted into an individual's body kill bacteria, viruses and cancer cells. But if you get out of line, they kill you.)
“The present world order can be soon modified and changed that a New World Order and a new race of men can gradually come into being.” New Ager and Lucis Trust founder Alice Bailey, quoted in Texe Marrs' Dark Majesty, pg. 268. (Bold mine)Loosing the Image of God
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?Just as Eve fell to the tempter's lie, most of mankind will yet again fall. It won't be a forbidden fruit but a forbidden gene that will be offered, for this time the lie will be “If you accept this genetic transformation, then ye shall be as gods.” Will mankind be duped into thinking that brain implants and genetic modification will help them “ascend to godhood?” Will those who have fallen for the humanist / New Age lie that the only god of man is man himself take the final plunge, permanently and irreversibly altering their bodies in a vain attempt at godhood?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:1-5
As it now stands, the Illuminati seek to spread their poisonous doctrines of unity and globalization throughout the body of mankind. Their goal is to develop a World Mind or World Brain. Their occult, psychological conditioning process, they are convinced, will change all of society and result eventually in a new and universal “cosmic consciousness” which will envelope the globe. Men everywhere, the propagandize, will be transformed into supermen, Homo sapiens will become an entirely new species, quite literally a race of divine gods on a divine planet...In an interview with Alex Jones, James Hughes, the executive director of the World Transhumanist Association and author of Citizen Cyborg, stated that, due to modification, some day the state may have to decide who's human and who's not. Question: If the super-humans gain control of the government, who will be considered sub-human? Dr. Hughes also kept repeating that society should not have to bend over backwards for people who reject such bodily modification because of their religious beliefs.
...Therefore, one of the chief ways that the Secret Brotherhood has established a supreme level of control of men's minds is through the employment of flattery. It is an axiom that men and women love to be flattered. And to be told that they are a god-like species who are evolving toward divinity is the most dynamic form of flattery. But even though men are flattered today into believing that they have control over their own destinies, and that they need only do as they will, they are also being instructed that not all men and women are divine.
Regrettably, the mind controllers carefully explain, there are some people in this world who are of an inferior species. These subhumans are a cancerous stain on humanity. They are the ones responsible for all the world's ills. The subhuman species, the claim goes on, is polluting our rivers and oceans, and cutting down millennia old forests with reckless abandon. The unfit ones are teaching the children of earth that they must stay bound to the old, traditionalist religions such as Biblical Christianity, and even spouting the horrible philosophy that one's own nation should come first. Why, the subhuman, inferior species even believes and teaches that world government is evil!
...A system of worldwide control must therefore be established to insure that the inferior species of men does not diminish the Great Work being accomplished by the masses of god-people...
