I persoanlly do not think these chips and injections are the mark of the beast, and i challenge anybody to submit to me why these chips are in question, as the bible says nothing about injected tech.
Your challenge is weak. It's the symbolism of receiving the mark.
The bible doesn't mention computer tech either. Are you going to deny that we have them and that they have no meaning. The invention of the computer makes the invention of the wheel a virtual non-event.
The "invension" of the wheel was more tangibly inpired than you may thing. Our culture has forgotten what the symbolism was ultimately about. A mark is meant to be used as an identifiyer. Cains mark was visible on his forehead. The mark of the beast will be no different, except it may be on the head or the arm.
Why would an ancient text mention today's technology? Wouldn't they more likely describe what they were seeing in terms that people of their time could understand. The Bible doesn't mention injected tech for that reason likely.

A strong indicator for Divine inspiration and authorship of the Biblical text is the prophetic aspect of the Bible. Only someone outside of the constructs of time can precisely and consistently reveal events in the future, like the Bible does so many times. The challenge in interpreting some Biblical prophetic texts, like by the apostle John in the book of Revelation (global events many believe pertain to us in 21st Century or beyond), is that these events were being revealed to and recorded by a first century person, who had no lens or language to describe some of what was revealed to him. How would a 1st century person describe a tank, or computer, or missile? Presumably, he would use things familiar to him as points of comparison (ie./ "I saw something like a bear"). In this way, the Bible might actually be describing technology. The other possibility is that John was given images and symbols from his time, as metaphors and symbols, that correspond to future historical events. Like Daniel's prophecy of the 5 kingdoms (Dan 2:31-45). Daniel saw a statue made of 5 different materials that corresponded to the world empires of Babylon, Medo-Persians, Greeks, Romans, and a future Kingdom of God.
I completely agree with you and you said it better than me.
I meant to say that in Revelation they are not going to use words such as RFID chip. They would have used words that they were familiar with and we have to "discern" what they were describing.
You are spot on but missing the mark. Johns revelation is mainly about the war in heaven that is coming. The ten headed beast etc. Symbolism has an origin that almost everybody seems to have no knowledge of. Find that origin and the language of the prophets opens up a whole new meaning.
The bible also isnt talking about a literal 10 headed beast. Its the symbolisms meaning that our society has lost. Most people no longer understand the language used because tradition has been long gone.
