QR Codes

Churches are starting to wise up about smart phones. One church in Oklahoma, for example, Edmond's First Baptist Church, is using the technology to send messages to mobile-savvy people in their community.

It's obvious the one world church will use technology like this and will scan the mark of the beast in along with everything else

I thought of this last night as I was looking through a cooking magazine. There is an ad in the magazine for "sticky" notes (you know the brand). The ad contains a little similar looking square and reads, "scan for $2 coupon". So very convenient.

In agreement with the PP . . .



My thoughts exactly!!!

My uncle is not saved. Actually, I have a lot of relatives who aren't saved, but he's the one I'm most worried about. He was raised Jewish, but is most definitely not a practicing Jew. He has bought into the whole new-agey/nature "worship"/"love is all you need"/power of thought/feel good thing. And he's a computer whiz who would totally love something like this. I've been praying fervently for him for quite some time now . . . I just have this feeling of dread, like he's already made his decision. I know God can work miracles in someone's heart, and I pray my uncle turns out to be one of those miracles. At the same time though, I can just picture him in my mind's eye willingly falling in line to take a mark like this. And it makes me sick. My uncle has heard the gospel so many times from me, from the rest of my immediate family, from who knows where else . . . but he refuses to listen. It's to the point now where he gets downright hostile if we try to talk to him about our faith. Political discussions are to be strictly avoided when my uncle is nearby, or a friendly debate turns into something ugly consisting mainly of conservative bashing. I hesitate to say anything else to him for fear of doing more harm than good, but I also want to somehow warn him not to take the mark. Sigh.

I'm in the same situation with my daughter, but you know what......God HEARS our prayers. Knowing that, keeps me from losing my mind.

I have drilled into her head, Jesus is the ONLY way and not to ever take the mark on your hand or your forehead.

Recently she said to me she's encountered lots of 666

BTW, she has 5 tattoos

[IMSAVED]

With tattoos as popular as they are now I can see this really taking off. A real CRAZE

An interesting and scary thought occurred to me today. Once we are gone in the Rapture it will be difficult for the governments to keep up with any sort of census ... like who is alive, who is dead, who is simply missing, right?

Stay with me here ... it could be important.

Identity theft of those of us who are "missing" will be so much easier to accomplish ... think of the opportunity for looting that will be present! Families struggling to come to terms with the loss of their loved ones will be further violated by tech-savvy hackers stealing what remains of them ... material wealth!

The world powers will not want the "money of the missing" to end up in the hands of common folk ... but will want to put these estates "towards the betterment of all humanity". (The money will go into the AC's system under his control).

Does this scenario seem plausible? Refusing to accept the mark will be viewed as refusal to share in love with a "united world". Receiving the mark would assure folks of fair distribution of goods/services ... according to the "peace-maker" ... the wolf in sheep's clothing.

This would set the tone for tribulation saints to be regarded as "the enemy" ... when we all know it is the God within them who they continue to hate.

This scenario seems very plausible to me. Gave me the willies reading about it.

What strikes me about these QR Code Tattoos is that they are not unattractive.
By that I mean they look sort of like the "sticker" tattoos I see kids wear all the time. Even preschool kids have them pasted all over.
I can even see the appeal they could have for people in that each one would be unique to them, making it a personal design.
Insidious I say.

Yesterday I noticed that my taco bell drink cup had one of these square scan codes on it. I'd never noticed them before this link... guess if I saw them my brain didn't register them... it seems they are already everywhere.

[In Christ]

The problem with this sort of tatoo, (I see them alot) is while they only have a static set of information, they need to used in conjuction with another technology to be effective. They certainly could be used to positively identify who you are (if that is the precedent set), however they are easily duplicated too. Meaning if they were to be relied on to identify and set up to provide access to finances then they open the door for rampant theft. An evil person could "kill" someone with this mark, duplicate it and take over their identity. I do not see this as being the MOTB, unless it is used just to identify your loyalty to the AC with no connection to financial information. In that case who would want to steal/duplicate it?

some people are already saying QR codes could be like a personal brand

I'd never noticed them before this link...

I hadn't either, but I do find this subject (scanning/MOB technology) very fascinating

But are QR codes just a fad? Probably not. All New York City building permits must contain QR codes by 2013, and three-quarters of smartphone users say they are more likely to remember advertisements better if they contain a QR code.
Even if you aren’t well-versed on all things “quick response,” it can be a huge asset to your personal and professional brand.

Think of it as a doorway to your personal brand

Jesus is my "personal brand"!!

Not if genetic code is in the tattoo, only fits the original recipient

Maybe, but I don't think they have gotten to the point of putting genetic data in tatoos. Seems that would have to be verified as well, making it more sophisticated and dependent on other technology, i.e actual dna test verification upon scanning. I will have to think this one through some more... Interesting point though. They do have smart inks now that are conductive. Bottom line is we all know some sort of MOTB is coming at mid-trib and I think we can all agree the technology to make that happen is already here.

tattoo validated with a fingerprint scan would do just nicely

The tattoo only needs to point to a database which contains all that's needed.

I noticed the scan code on my bottle of Zyrtec allergy medicine the other day. I don't think I ever noticed the scan code on anything before this thread either, or if I did, I didn't know what they were and didn't think anything of them.

I'll probably be looking for them on everything now.

[icebear]

Samaritan's Purse uses them on their newsletter envelopes... you can scan the code and watch a video update on your phone. I hink that is cool.

I have found the codes on anything from deodorant sticks to vinegar bottles.

I agree they aren't evil of themselves but i think the technology would suit the MOB quite nicely

WOW, 4Truth! This sounds very plausible to me!

Definately one step closer, I'm so glad we won't be here to see it first hand. My husband is not saved, and he probable gets tired of me telling him almost everyday to NEVER take any kind of mark. I actually relish these type of articles because it gives me opportunity to discuss things with him. Fortunately, with the news lately we have opportunity every day now! I have told him there will come a day when the girls (3&4) and I will be gone. I hope and pray each day that he will be with us. However, if that is not the case, he knows exactly where to find the information that he will need. I wrote him a letter this weekend putting everything in writing. I'm going to place the letter in my Bible and put my Bible in the same place each day so he knows exactly where it is. I honestly believe that if the Holy Spirit does not call him before the Rapture that he will be on his knees seconds after discovering we are gone. I know that God knows who each and every one of the "Tribulation Saints" are. I choose to believe that if he isn't called before - he will be one of the few!

Same here. I hadn't heard of these but now I see them all over the place.
