Theory: Define "Mark"

Note: I am seeking comments and ideas on this one. It is an active and working concept not yet fully developed.

A small seed has been planted somewhere back in my past and I keep seeing little shoots of growth of the plant it is creating. What?! I sound like I'm trying to hard to come up with a metaphor? (laugh).

This is a multi-step concept that I will break down into separate parts so that we can incrementally go through my thought process. I have come to no conclusions; but have considered a hypothesis that I would like to see if it develops into a Theory.

First, I would like to go over the definition of the word "Mark".
There are several definitions for various usage in the English language but the one that I am looking at I found at:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Mark
7.
a. A distinctive trait or property: Good manners are the mark of a civilized person.

Having established that a "Mark" can be a distinctive trait I want to move on to the next segment of my idea.

Second, a retinal scanner and a palm-print or fingerprint scanner examines your fingerprint/palm-print/retinal pattern against a database. These types of scanners are very secure and offers people an incredible level of 'security'. Someone would need to break into the database and modify your data saved on the equipment/database system to show their retinal scan/fingerprint/palm-print in order to fool the system and steal your identity. Thus.. people think this is an amazing way to protect yourself from identity theft.

Third, having almost completely moved away from paper currency and coin currency the world has become a place of little club-cards, debit-cards, credit cards, etc. Why carry around cash when you can lose it or it can be stolen from you? A credit card offers insurance to protect you in case it is stolen. A debit-card offers security in that you have a PIN number you have to know to use it (most times).

But.. boy, wouldn't you be more 'safe' if you could get your eyes scanned, hand or fingerprints scanned and put into a national (or World) database that was 'protected' by government encryption?

Finally, I would like to put these ideas together to form a complete concept.
It is my hypothesis that the "Mark of the Beast" spoken of in Revelation 13 could be in fact an Identification system put in place to 'protect' people.

Revelations 13: 16-17
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:

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.

In summary, I would like to ask you to consider the 'what if' of what might be coming in the not too distant future. The U.S. Dollar collapses, a one world government is established, we get our Utopian world where everyone gets the same ration of food and water.. but people will take advantage of a system unless we can make sure everyone only gets their 1 day of rations. So....

Come stand in the government line at city hall to place your -forehead- on this device so we can scan you. Place your hand on this device so we can scan you.

Take a look at what is happening in the world around us with the U.S. currency, identity theft, the devaluing of the U.S. dollar, the strong push to a one world government... is it really that far off?

Terrorist Plot Uncovered: Planned by SEIU

Do you have SEIU in your company or in your town government?
The audio below has the leaders of SEIU meeting and laying out a very clear plan to colapse the American banking industry, crash the stock market and to destroy the United States of America.

It's time to route SEIU out of our businesses and governments and to chase them out of the country.

How much more do people need before they wake up? Homeless? No job? No food? What will it take before they wake up and see that we have terrorists all around us trying to destroy our country?

They come right out and show you their plans and still we have people that just shrug and don't care.

What a pathetic people we have become in this country.

Public Sector Unions in Less Than 4 Minutes

So what's the deal going on with all these Unions throwing fits and screaming.. starting fights, getting violent and causing riots in our State capitals? Don't understand where the angst is coming from? The big evil corporations and government is holding them down? Down with the Man!!??

Here's a great video to share with your friends and family that don't pay attention to much beyond their job and direct family.

See How Stupid Obama Thinks You Are

So, Obama is attempting to impress upon the citizens how serious he is about getting the out of control government spending under control. So he puts on his compassionate/one of the little guys face and smooths out his voice like honey and says he's going to spend 90 days with a committee and figure out some way to possibly trim 100 Million dollars from the federal budget.

Check out the video below. I'm sure Obama doesn't want you to see how in reality he's mocking you and laughing all the way to the bank.
