Peace Linda, (which is my wife's name too)
I don't know if the VeriChip is the prophetic Mark but as fast as man has been advancing in techology, it would not surprise me that this chip is the stepping stone to something much better, (or should I say worse?).
As for the movies, could the Anti-christ deceive the unbelievers by controlling the minds and/or read one's thoughts? I guess in a way he could:
"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:' 2Th 2:10-11
I am sure it is not limited to just one scripture.
In His Name,
Eddie
