A report published a few days ago has revealed some customers are willing to pay for their groceries at their local supermarket via "Mark of the Beast" technology. Eight percent of teenagers and five percent of adults were willing to have an RFID chip implanted under their skin, rather than carrying around cash or credit cards. 

Quote: "Around 8 per cent of 13 to 19-year-olds were open to the idea of microchip implants while 16 per cent wanted trolleys to be fitted with SatNav systems. This compared to just 5 per cent and 12 per cent respectively for adults asked the same questions.

These figures are terrifying, nevertheless expected. I believe pressure from the big food retailers, with their desire for more secure transactions and money saving initiatives, will push RFID on the consumer public within the next few years. Where I live we already have barcodes laced with RFID chips. It's only a matter of time before someone has a really "good" idea, and decides to issue RFID embedded loyalty cards to their customers, or eventually accept payment via RFID microchips. The fact that the retailers are now investigating the possibility of this, with reports like this one, shows they are weighing up whether their efforts will pay of and if the public is still hostile to "big brother" technology. 

Revelation 13:16 
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: 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.
