An Oklahoma requirement that driver's license applicants submit to "biometric"digitalphotographs– which are "stored and shared" without the applicant's knowledge – is a violation of religious rights, charges alawsuitfiled against thestate's Department of Public Safetyand several individuals.

The suit names Public Safety Commissioner Michael C. Thompson.

The state has told the plaintiff, Kaye Beach, that she must submit to the biometric requirement to obtain a license in the state, and there is noexemptionbased on religious beliefs.

The lawsuit contends the requirement, however, violates the Oklahoma Constitution because it "substantially" burdens Beach's freeexerciseof religion and does not accommodate her sincerely held religious beliefs.

The lawsuit contends the requirement, however, violates the Oklahoma Constitution because it "substantially" burdens Beach's freeexerciseof religion and does not accommodate her sincerely held religious beliefs.

The case seeks a ruling that "in order to comply with the Oklahoma Religious Freedom Act, the state must provide an accommodation to Ms. Beach … which allows her to submit a low-resolution non-biometric facial photograph in order to obtain a driver's license."

"Whether a biometric ID card in the form of a driver's license or other government-issued form of identification is the mark of the Beast or merely the long arm of Big Brother, the outcome remains the same – ultimatecontrolby the government," said John W. Whitehead, president ofThe Rutherford Institute,which is handling the case.

"As Kaye Beach's case makes clear, failing to have a biometric card can render you a non-person for all intents and purposes, with your ability to work, travel, buy, sell, access health care, and so on jeopardized," he said.

In March, Beach applied to renew her driver's license with the Department of Public Safety, the organization reported. Upon learning that the biometric photographs used by DPS are stored in a database that is managed and accessed by international organizations, Beach repeatedly voiced her religious objection to the practice and asked to be allowed to use a low-resolution photograph for her license. Beach subscribes to the Christian belief, detailed in the Bible's book of Revelation, that Christians must not participate in a global numbering identificationsystem.

Rev. 13:16-18 and 14:9-11 "explicitly commands believers to not participate in a global numbering identification system using the number of man, and eternally condemns participation in that system," the lawsuit contends.

Officials with the state agency declined to respond to a WND request for comment.

The institute's report said Beach met all of the other requirements for a license and was deprived of that opportunity – "including the ability to acquireprescriptionmedications, use her debit card, rent a hotel room or obtain a post office box" – only because of the state's refusal to provide a religious accommodation.

The case was brought in district court of Cleveland County. Rutherford Institute attorneys point out that the state's requirement for a biometric photograph does not serve a compellingstateinterestand that the state has other means for furthering any such state interest.

It notes that Beach was told "the interoperability and open architecture format for the high-resolution biometric facial photograph used by motor license agents as required by DPS to take the photographs for driver's licenses in an internationally set format determined by the United Nation's International Civil Aviation Organization …. and that the database into which her facial biometric data is placed is managed and accessed by a self-described international organization called the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators."

The case also alleges the rule violates her privacy and is an unreasonable warrantless search.

Sounds crazy doesn't it. But it is and will happen. In order to buy and sell products like, food, gasoline, clothing, ect. you will have to have a micro chip in your arm or hand, perhaps your forehead. God's people must not receive the mark of the beast, as it is written in the Bible:

Rev 20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 



Rev 19:20  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 

Rev_13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

Rev_13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 



Rev_14:9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 

Rev 14:10  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 

Rev_14:11  And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 


Rev_15:2  And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 


Rev_16:2  And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
