A Mexican company has launched a service to implant microchips in children as an anti-kidnapping device. The company is marketing the device--a rice-size microchip that is injected beneath the skin and transmits a 125-kilohertz radio frequency signal--as an emergency ID under its new VeriKid program. Longtime readers of the newsletter will know that I wrote about this chip last year and even posted a picture of it. Many Christians are concerned about this chip and belive that Revelations 13:16 is being manifest.
