Well I always wondered about the part of the Bible where it says that every man free or slave would get this mark. I always wondered about people in the jungle or people out on the Savanna, what would they get? There are people in Mongolia or living out on icy tundras in the middle of nowhere.

Well don't you at least have to have some money to get a debit or credit card? Or are they just giving these people free money in order to get them to carry and use this card?

I don't think it is the mark of the beast yet. The real mark will come after the beast promises the Jewish people to rebuild their temple and allows sacrifices there. Then the sacrifices go on for about three years before the beast walks into the temple and declares himself to be God. Then everyone will have to take his mark. If they get the mark they will get sores and wish they were dead, yet somehow they won't be able to die.

There isn't anything at the moment that fits this criteria but they are getting people used to the idea of not using cash.
