On Your Hand?
or
In Your Hand?

If the government of the United States passed a law for security purposes that every American had to have a personal ID number tattooed on his or her hand, without which that person would not be permitted to buy or sell, would you accept it?
I’m sure most of you are saying, “No way! Not over my dead body!”
Yet, such a law has already been passed with one minor difference—which really is no difference. You won’t have the number tattooed on your hand. You only have to have the number on a card in your hand. The bottom line is you will have the number in your hand or you will not be able to buy or sell.
The new law requires every American to have a national ID card without which you will be unable to hold a job, and you will not be able to have a bank account. With no job and no bank account, how much buying and selling will you be able to do? Obviously, none!
Now allow me to ask the question once again. Will you accept a number in your hand in order to keep your job or have a bank account? Think about it very carefully. Each of us will have to answer this question between now and May 11, 2008 when the Real ID Act is scheduled for implementation.

So…what’s it matter anyway?
The prophecy found in Revelation 13:15-18 foretells that a time will come when every person on earth will be forced to have a number in the hand or in the forehead, or else the individual will not be able to buy or sell.
Has this sunk in yet? The prophecy is 2,000 years old, but it is happening now! I’m not saying that it might happen. I’m saying that the law is already passed by Congress and signed by our president. We are watching the implementation in process now!

What’s behind this national ID?
The rationale being given for the creation of a national ID is to guard against the threat of terrorism. However, the global government crowd wanted a national ID long before terrorism reared its ugly head. Twenty-seven years ago in its September 15, 1980 edition, the U.S. News & World Report carried an editorial entitled “A National Identity Card” by Editor Marvin Stone. In the editorial, Stone argued that a national ID was needed to thwart illegal immigration, protecting American jobs from illegal immigrants.
In spite of what Homeland Security is saying, the national ID is not really a security issue. It’s all about control. You can’t control a population unless you issue each of them a number. Then you must force them to use that number for employment, travel, and banking. This accomplished, you can force compliance to any mandate issued by the government since invalidation of the person’s number renders the individual a non-person. Economic control means controlling a person’s ability to exist.
This is exactly what the prophecy says will happen during the time just ahead called the great tribulation. And this is exactly what will happen when the national ID is fully implemented.

Deception, deception, deception

Deception #1
When is a national ID card not a national ID card? When Homeland Security says so! From the very beginning, the national ID card has been shrouded in deception. Wanting a national ID card, but knowing the American people would never stand for it, the decision was made to call the national ID the Real ID. Abracadabra! Now it’s not a national ID card!
At the recent National Forum on the Real ID held in Sacramento, California on May 1, 2007, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Richard Barth emphatically stated, “This is not a national ID!” And he actually expected us to believe him! Of course, we didn’t.
There’s actually a very simple way to rip the cover off of this blatant deception once and for all. Question #1: Is the Real ID an ID card? Yes, of course. Everyone, including Homeland Security agrees. This is an ID card.
Now, question #2: Was this ID card created by a state law or by a national law? Why…it was created by a national law.
Then it’s a national ID card! It’s really very simple…except when you’re trying to deceive people into accepting something they don’t want.

Deception #2
The promoters of the national ID claim repeatedly that the Real ID Act was a legitimately passed law of Congress. It is true that the House of Representative did pass the Real ID Act. However, it was suspected that much stiffer resistance would be met when the bill was sent to the Senate.
In order to stave off the possibility of defeat of this key bill that was at the heart of governmental planners’ vision for dramatically increased control of the populace, the Real ID Act was stealthily hidden on the back of a must-pass funding bill for our troops in Iraq. The 1000-page bill passed 100-0. Think of it! A bill spelling the end of freedom for Americans being deceitfully slipped through the Senate on the back of funding for our troops. You have to admit…that is politics at its finest! Many of the senators didn’t even realize until later that they had voted for the Real ID.

Deception #3
True or False? The terrorist attacks of 9/11 would not have happened if only we would’ve had a national ID card system.
The proponents of a national ID card love to repeat this myth over and over. It is their number one selling point for the national ID. But is it true? No. It is blatantly false! Half of the 9/11 terrorists had legal IDs. The other half had IDs that satisfied airline standards at the time. We can be assured that if the Real ID had been in force on 9/11, the hijackers would have made sure that each of them had the necessary documentation to clear security. These were terrorists, but they weren’t dumb!

Deception #4
The latest piece of ammunition in the pro-national ID arsenal is a Zogby poll supposedly showing that 70 percent of Americans support the introduction of national standards for driver’s licenses under the Real ID Act.
They conveniently fail to disclose that, in the same poll, only 44 percent favored a national ID card, and 51 percent opposed a national ID card. This huge discrepancy between what Homeland Security is implying and the reality simply illustrates that the government’s disinformation campaign has been very effective. The fact is that the establishment of national standards for driver’s licenses under the Real ID Act is the creation of a national ID card—the very thing that 51 percent of the American people are against.
One more time…Is the Real ID a national ID? Answer: It is an ID card, and it was created by a national law. It’s a national ID no matter how much the Washington bureaucrats try to deceive and deny. Still, Homeland Security continues to claim a majority of Americans are for something that they are, in fact, against! Again…deception, deception, deception!

No person will buy or sell without the national ID
Those who promote the national ID would deny vehemently that people will be placed under economic boycott unless they accept the Real ID card. However, let’s look at the facts.
An employee verification program called Basic Pilot was started in 1996. It is presently being used voluntarily by 5,000 employers to check the legal status of job applicants. When a person applies for a job, his or her social security number is submitted to the Basic Pilot database. If the individual is not in the federal database, he or she will not be hired.
President Bush has called on Congress to make Basic Pilot mandatory for every employer in America and to provide the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with the funding and authority to make sure it is an effective tool to prevent the hiring of illegal workers. Both the House and Senate immigration bills would require employers to use Basic Pilot. The President's 2007 budget requests $111 million to expand Basic Pilot for more employers to make use of the program. Under this proposed new law, employers will be fined $10,000 for employing anyone not in the federal database. If you’re not in the federal database, you cannot have a job…anyplace in the U.S. No job…no ability to buy or sell.
And how will an individual pass the test to be included in the Homeland Security database that will allow him to work? Never doubt that the acid test will soon be whether a person has been cleared for the Real ID and consequently placed in the database shared by all fifty states.

Will a national ID work?
Not only will a national ID not weed out illegal immigrants, it will make matters worse. Here’s why. For less than $300, an illegal alien can buy a social security card and a birth certificate. Under the Real ID program, these documents can then be used to obtain a legitimate ID card issued by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Suddenly, an illegal alien is supplied by the government with a certification of legitimacy. It will be an illegal immigrants dream!
The Real ID won’t prevent illegal immigration. It will facilitate it!

The end of freedom
If the Real ID Act is implemented, every American will be placed in a national database. Every time you swipe your national ID, it will be recorded creating a constant trail of every person’s movements.
The purpose of the Real ID is control. Many people think that is a good thing…but is it? Not if you believe in freedom!
Control and freedom are opposites. The proposed National ID is nothing but the slapping of invisible electronic handcuffs on every person in America. It is the end of freedom for the land of the free and the home of the brave.
But if a person has done nothing wrong, what difference does it make if the government knows where you’ve been, what you bought, what you read and which websites you visited? Hmm…that sounds like something Adolf Hitler would have said.

Increasing security at the price of freedom
How far are Americans willing for our government to go in insuring our security? Total security requires total control. The safest place on earth is in a padded cell, but who wants to live there?
Freedom requires bravery, not total security. Our national anthem concludes with “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” If we ever cease to be brave, we will no longer be free.

So what is the answer?
If a national ID is a terrible idea, then what do we do to protect our country against terrorism? The answer is really very obvious.
What has kept us safe for the last 230 years? Our borders. The problem we are facing today has been caused by our government’s decision to not enforce our borders. Between 12 and 20 million illegal immigrants don’t get into a country by accident. They arrive by purposeful neglect.
Some would make us believe that border enforcement is mission impossible. That is totally untrue. We can enforce our borders if we want to. Our friend Israel certainly knows how to guard its borders. They have an electronic fence with a dirt road running along side of it. Every four to six hours an army jeep with a sweeper attached sweeps the dirt road, at the same time looking for footprints indicating a border violation. If Israel, with a population of 6 million can defend a 450-mile border, surely a country with a population of 300 million can defend a 2,000-mile border…that is if we want to.
If our borders were properly defended, we wouldn’t have to destroy the freedom of America by tracking everyone, everywhere. We could live within secure borders without being numbered, without being tracked.
Has the time come for a country where the police can pull you over and demand “Papers please”? Will we, like the Jews in Nazi Germany, accept being numbered? God help us to have the courage to say no to the worst law ever passed in the history of the United States of America! Let’s throw the Real ID Act on the trash heap of history once and for all!
Have we Americans lost our backbone? Are we afraid to stand up against a government that continues to become more and more intrusive? Will we stand silently still while our governmental masters snap the electronic handcuffs in place?

Patrick Henry said it so eloquently 232 years ago: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Somebody needs to say it again!

Baxter first became known in the world of Bible prophecy in 1966 when he discovered the United States in the Bible. In 1968, he began to teach that the Berlin Wall would be torn down and that the two Germanies would be reunited. When the Berlin Wall fell on November 9th, 1989, everyone wanted to know how he knew this would happen, twenty-one years in advance. This led to the founding of Endtime magazine.

I agree 100%.

What Bro.Baxter says is absolutely
correct.This is no laughing matter.It's
prophesied in the bible.The bible is always right.

IRVIN IS RIGHT, I WISH EVERY PASTOR COULD SEE WHAT IRVIN SEE. COME LORD JESUS COME.

The Major Deception is that the President, And the Congress, are merely enforcing United Nations Treaty Law, using the so called "democratic process" as a way to whitewash the truth.

Refuse to get the ID, Refuse to get a passport, let the economy feel it when you refuse to buy travel services and all that go along with it.

That is a start, on at least the passport. The "Drivers license" and the employer databasing is going to take more "Determined" opposition, likely as in 1776, or 1861.

When You find the following in legislation:
Public Law 109-13 (119 Stat. 302);
it is the Real ID Law.

The REAL ID System is beyond a "National ID". it is in Fact, and by Treasonous Legislation, A United Nations international ID. Under AGENDA 21, Amerca at local, State, and Federal Level is Completely complying with UN Law at a rapid pace. Most of your Public Education is already in process of UN mandate, clored with local flavors of "Law".

The US passport is already U.N. ICAO 9303 compliant, has an RFID chip.

Real ID is standardized UN ID -

Lets think about it here, Is not a luciferian world government system fully built under the UN and NATO? Google Lucis Trust. Look at who is involved in the UN (Fabian Socialists) and what they believe. All that is needed is for those stuborn ARMED TO THE TEETH AMERICAN CITIZENS, to bend over and go along with congress and the U.N. Advocates, like their Lowlife Bottom Feeding Legislators, and Presidents have done, since Woodrow wilson to Present.

It will be easy for Some future tyrant to control the Databases, and like any other tyrant, as history shows, they do not do it themselves, they get your friends and neigbors known as "comrades" to do it for them.

A spectre is haunting the EARTH - the spectre of Communism. A smell of a New World Odor. A Beast with Iron teeth indeed.

Homeland security papers specify that Real ID is to be ICAO compliant, Machine Readable, 39 digits. (3 x 13)=39

"With regard to the name placed by the DMV on the face of the
driver's license or identification card, DHS is proposing to adopt the
ICAO 9303 Standard. The ICAO 9303 standard requires Roman alphabet
characters, allows a total of 39 characters on the face of the driver's
license or identification card, and provides standards for truncation
of longer names."

The Senate "Immigration Reform" bill S.1348 contains similar cloned wording of the Strive Act---

H.R.1645
STRIVE Act of 2007 (Introduced in House)
SEC. 736. STANDARDS FOR BIOMETRIC DOCUMENTS.
Any visa issued by the Secretary of State and any
immigration-related document issued by the Secretary of State or the
Secretary shall--

(1) comply with authentication and biometric standards
recognized by domestic and international standards organizations;

(2) be machine-readable and tamper-resistant;

3) use biometric identifiers that are consistent with the
requirements of section 303 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa
Entry Reform Act of 2002 (8 U.S.C. 1732), and represent the benefits and
status set forth in such section;

4) comply with the biometric and document identifying
standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization; and

(5) meet other requirements determined to be necessary by
the Secretary of State and the Secretary.

SEC. 274A. EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION.
(b) Document Verification Requirements- An employer hiring an
individual for employment in the United States shall verify that the
individual is eligible for such employment by meeting the following
requirements:
(1) ATTESTATION BY EMPLOYER-
(B) EMPLOYMENT AND IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS- A
document described in this subparagraph is--

`(i) in the case of an individual who is a
national of the United States--

`(I) a United States passport;

`(II) a biometric, machine readable,
tamper-resistant Social Security card, as described in section
205(c)(2)(G) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 405(c)(2)(G)); or

`(III) a driver's license or identity card
issued by a State, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or
an outlying possession of the United States that satisfies the
requirements of Division B of Public Law 109-13 (119 Stat. 302);

The Real ID Act is nothing but a tool to count and mark every individual for the New World Order (Lucifer's Kingdom). The card has nothing to do with security. If anyone notices we never had issues or problems like this until Bush entered on the scene in the name of peace and security. I think we all need to look at who is really sitting in the oval office of the white house.

I'll die first before I ever take the mark. Satan has caused enough trouble in my lifetime. This is my payback by not taking anything he has to offer in this world. Choose you this day whom ye will serve, but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. The word of the Lord is true and God cannot lie. The endtime is upon us and ready or not, in the twinkling of an eye Jesus will be coming back for His bride without spot or wrinkle. Come Lord Jesus come. I won't let no man take my crown.

HEAR OLE ISREAL OUR LORD GOD IS ONE, NOT 3 AND NOT THE UNITED NATIONS ARE ANYONE/ANYTHING ELSE..

GOD'S CHILDREN WHO ARE ALSEEP, OPEN YOUR EYES, IT IS THE ENDTIME, THE GREATEST TIME FOR THE CURCH OF JESUS CHRIST...IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I PRAY-AMEN!

THE ENDTIME IS NOW,, THE ENDTIME IS NOT TOMORROW BUT, IT IS TODAY! ITS ALL IN YOUR BIBLE!

REVELATION 22,, IF U ADD OR TAKE AWAY FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE, U WILL BE FOREVER DAMNED IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.

BRO. BAXTER IS PREACHING THE TRUTH OF JESUS CHRIST. GOD IS WRITING ON HIS HEART AS THE WORDS FLOW FROM HIS MOUTH, FULL OF HOLYGHOST FIRE! I DARE, ANYONE TO PROVE JESUS WRONG!

HEED TO THE LAST CALL OF THE LORD!
DON'T LET THE LAST TRUMPET BLOW BEFORE, IT IS TOO LATE !

Irvin, the mark of the beast spoken of in Revelation chapter 13 comes *from* the beast. Until the beast comes on the world scene, the mark of the beast cannot come. Who today would you say is the beast? Does anyone today fulfill the biblical description given of the beast? When the beast comes into the world, then we'll know NOT to take his mark. While I am against the Real ID Act, and its card, it is not, repeat NOT the mark of the beast. It is not because the beast is not here to enforce it. Biblically speaking, you are not interpreting the situation correctly.

Please, share this with as many people as possible. I'm starting with friends and family. Print a copy and hand it out, or just e-mail it to those people in your e-mail box. If we'll sow the seed, we have done a part. Then pray the Holy Spirit will grow that seed. There is so many still lost in the devils deceptions. Time is running out to reach those in need of the truth, nobody comes to the father but through him "Jesus Christ" our savior. Amen.
