Subway Knitter designed a pair of Charlie Card Mittens, essentially mittens with a pocket designed to hold a subway card. The pattern for the mittens appeared in a popular knitting magazine, Interweave Knits. You would think that mittens with a pocket for a subway card wouldn’t provoke strong opinions, but you would be wrong! Ravelry is a social networking site for knitters, currently beta testing. Members can form almost any type of group/or discussion board on almost any subject. In the Christian Artisans discussion board someone posted the following thread:

Knitting In Preparation For The Mark of The Beast

Arielluria: I thought the subject line would get your attention ;o)…….

I just saw this on the preview of IK Winter issue and it reminded me, I heard on a knitting podcast that people who take subways have been getting their hands embedded with an RFID chip so they don’t have to show a pass!!! On IK Winter there was a pattern for these mittens:
Honestly! It’s sad but it’s prophecy coming true. However, many will take the mark of the beast because they didn’t know God’s Word!

Rev 14:9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
Rev 14:10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
AND
Rev 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I {saw} the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

dlofink: We are so very close. Jesus is coming soon. I think we will see it in our lifetimes.

Arielluria: I do agree. At no time have so many previously thought impossible things existed. Oh sure, there were evil men people thought were the Anti-Christ, etc. but being able to see the 2 witnesses around the globe in real time, micro-chipping, etc.

dlofink: I think the interesting part is the fact the technology now exists to “mark” someone in the hand or the forehead and not allow them to buy or sell without the mark. And the new pattern accomodates that technology very well.

Arielluria: Exactly………the pattern IS for a chip as it is described in Revelation. I don’t mean the pattern is evil or anything like that ) just that it’s sad there are actually people falling for it already……..and those who take it, will have to die for their faith to be in Heaven. But if they do, they will have a special blessing, thrones around the throne of God.

dlofink: My husband told me last night he heard on the news that some public schools are implementing systems where kids will have to scan their fingers for identification. He thought it was just another way to get people accustomed to scanning their hands for stuff. We are so close….Irregardless, the chip is technology that could easily underlie bible prophecy. We are so close. It will be interesting to find out the purpose of the hole in that mitten.

lacybird: So how are all of you preparing to deal with it when it comes?
Maybe we should build our stashes of yarn and spinning fibres even bigger, so that we will be self sufficient and not need to buy or sell.
‘Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly!’ Amen
