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 — King James Version Holy Bible

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.

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.

Revelation 13:16-18 — King James Version Holy Bible

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,

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:

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 — King James Version Holy Bible

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 — King James Version Holy Bible

The mark of the beast will be a literal mark on, in the skin which holds the name of the Antichrist making himself out to be God. The mark of the beast will be his actual name as a symbol of worship and devotion by those who take it, wear it, and idolize him. His name. His unmistakable number.

It will also, due to technology, have every property contained within his mark, his name to make commerce possible, to make travel possible, to make identification possible for those who take it.

To those who refuse to take it they will not be able to conduct commerce, to travel, and will be literal targeted outcasts — although if they refuse the mark due to their faith in God, Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Bible their having the Light of the Lord in their hearts and souls rather than the mark of an idol, the mark of the son of perdition upon their outer selves will make it possible for them to travel to a place those with the mark will never travel to — HEAVEN! Where the commerce of glory in the Lord and peace, joy, and salvation in His presence reign.

I have heard, I have been part of discussions, I have read much speculation and doubt as to how it could ever come to be that the majority of people in the world willingly take upon them a mark of a man. Many doubt this is possible. While they eagerly clamor and stand in line and obsess about the latest technology coming out and they just have to have it. Ever notice all the people around you staring into a glowing electronic device in their hands? Ever notice how many people willingly defile and mark their bodies with ink now? Ever notice how easily people gravitate to and willingly join fads, trends? And the man that is coming not that far into the future, in the minds of most, will be a SAVOIR to them. He is going to appear not only powerful and show them things they have never witnessed like the greatest magician they have ever seen, he will appear as a SAVOIR to them. And they won’t be able to line up quickly enough to take his name on their heads or on their hands.

If you doubt, still, you haven’t been paying attention and you are living in denial because even in the Arctic Circle and Antarctica now there is the Internet, computers, world mobile phones, and constant barrage of information. No place on earth escapes the shadow of the technologies at this juncture in world history. Pygmies and Bushmen are seen holding mobile phones and tablets.

And if you still doubt?

You are ignoring one vital factor. This is all BIG BUSINESS. This is all about making a lot of money and controlling all the money.

And everyone will be on board when it comes to money.

Over the last seven plus years of A Crooked Path I can’t accurately number the articles here pertaining to this subject but it is well into the hundreds of the almost 3,700 articles currently published on ACP.

Articles from many reputable sources and one I have turned to often over the years — Planet Biometrics and articles such as this, which can be found throughout the archives of ACP:

Biometric Signature ID to work with National Fingerprint

August 11, 2017

ID verification software firm Biometric Signature ID plans to work with National Fingerprint (NFp) on virtual ID proofing and verification services.

In a statement the former firm said integration of its patented software, BioProof-ID, will provide NFp customers with the ability to authenticate themselves from anywhere in the world.

BioProof-ID is a web-based platform that combines remote human verification of user identity, with BioSig-ID’s gesture biometric password solution.

“Our partnership with National Fingerprint, Inc. marks a historic milestone for BSI,” said Jeff Maynard, President / CEO, Biometric Signature ID. “NFp’s unique fingerprinting service is unlike anything on the market today and creates a new unique market vertical for our company. Previously, customers would have to schedule a physical appointment with a Trusted Observer who would meet to authenticate the individual every time fingerprints were requested. Thanks to BioProof-ID, these appointments can now be scheduled and completed remotely via a computer or laptop, 24/7 from anywhere in the world.”

Prior to the implementation of BioProof-ID, National Fingerprint’s authentication solution was labor intensive. Customers would place their initial order online which would then summon a Registered Trusted Observer to meet with the customer for a face-to-face meeting. Using NFp’s patented Self-Capture Packs, its Trusted Observer would verify the individual’s ID, acquire multiple fingerprint specimens and ensure the secure transit of said specimens to National Fingerprint’s lab.

Now, once an order is placed online, the Self-Capture Pack is mailed out. Upon receipt, customers can begin the registration process using any device at their convenience from anywhere in the world. During the registration process, individuals will connect virtually with a certified BioProof-ID Trusted Observer via webcam who will then complete the identity proofing process and witness the creation of the individual’s unique BioSig-ID password. ID verification for additional fingerprint submittals can be done in seconds thanks to BioSig-ID’s patented gesture biometric technology.

“We are excited to partner with Biometric Signature ID as we expand our portfolio and product offering worldwide,” said Dave Allburn, Founder/CEO, National Fingerprint, Inc. “BSI’s technology is light years ahead of the competition and puts us at the forefront of our industry. Thanks to their cloud-based solution, we are able to offer our services on a global scale and reach anyone at any time.”

DHS believes biometrics can ‘improve daily life’

August 11, 2017

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has tasked the University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Identity with defining how biometric technology can “improve daily life for a wide range of citizens”.

The contract, revealed in NextGov, targets areas such as security, social media use and commerce, by observing their daily activities.

In the contract doc, DHS writes that  the study will observe the daily activities of citizens in order to identify opportunities where biometrics can improve their quality of life..

“The project will then identify and analyze the requirements for these daily activities to drive the selection of biometric technologies”.

Taiwan firm notes fingerprint sensor sales boost

August 11, 2017

Taiwan-based eMemory, a developer and provider of embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) technology, says fingerprint sensor-related sales rose rapidly so far this year.

Royalties for fingerprint sensor chip orders enjoyed an about 27-fold hike on year in the second quarter of 2017, according to eMemory president Rick Shen. Revenues generated from orders for fingerprint sensors accounted for nearly 10% of eMemory’s total revenues in the second quarter.

Royalties for power management IC orders decreased 19% sequentially in the second quarter, said Shen, reported DigitTimes.

However, sales growth is expected to restore in the second half of 2017 driven by demand for handset customers’ new devices slated for launch later this year.

Meanwhile, royalties for orders for display driver IC and touch with display driver IC (TDDI) solutions fell 40% sequentially in the second quarter, Shen indicated. Sales generated from the product line is also expected to start growing in the second half of 2017.

In addition, eMemory expects royalties for AMOLED panel driver ICs to start contributing substantially to company revenues in 2018, Shen noted. Currently, eMemory is partnering with six foundry houses to produce AMOLED panel driver chips.

As physical unclonable function (PUF) becomes an increasingly popular security technology, eMemory has announced the launch of its proprietary NeoPUF technology to meet growing security demand among IoT applications. The company announced recently the NeoPUF IP has been taped out on UMC’s 28nm HPC+ as well as 55nm ULP technology platforms, while verification on UMC’s 55nm ULP eFlash platform is expected to be completed soon.

The above are just a few of the articles gleaned in one day this week. Daily advancements, business deals, new technologies are advancing faster than can be kept up with. Presently technology exists to place an electronic membrane as thin as a layer of skin onto skin to transmit data. Imagine, if you will, what can and will be available in two years? Five years time?

The only people who will have to be forced to take the mark of the beast? Believers in Jesus Christ the Lord. And if they relent, if they fall due to fear, due to not being able to give up their money, not being able to buy and sell and having to live worse than the worst leper ever lived in India? And they take the mark? They will be cast out and cast into the lake of fire with all the unbelieving heathens who took the mark. The only people who will be without the mark of the beast will be true believers in Jesus Christ. Making them easy marks for all manner of persecution the likes of which this world has never seen.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:8 — King James Version Holy Bible

And do not become confused…all those people who you recall going to church every Sunday and listening to their homosexual pastors, their liberal pastors talk about love, inclusion, tolerance, and every other worldly ideology without preaching the true word of God while they were being entertained for an hour or so? And you remember them all saying, “Praise Jesus!” and the gold, silver, platinum and wooden crosses around their necks shaking as they did so? They were always apostate. Pretenders to the faith, not really living in the faith except faith in the world, in humanism and the philosophies and devices of men over God. They were the ones with the itching ears turned to fables, given reprobate minds following all the false teachers, of which there are many — and soon of which the false teachers will out number the true and faithful ones.

We are closer to the appearance of the Antichrist and the masses taking his mark than many think…or want to know.

What is coming is a fervor, a movement — A FASCISM — the likes of which the world has never seen. Along with suffering and travail — TRIBULATION — the world has never seen.

If still in doubt and still refusing to believe such a thing is possible. How can so many turn so quickly to one man and idolize him? When in truth he is the embodiment of evil? We were all given the sign, the wonder not long ago. The prelude of what is to come globally in our near future. I suggest those in doubt do some in-depth study into Germany in the 1930’s and 1940’s to get a glimpse of what is coming globally rather than only in one nation with one nationality of people.

Marching towards the people of the world taking upon their skin the mark of the beast is BIG BUSINESS and everything is heading towards having the technology, and the willingness available very, very soon.
