Woman Tells State Judiciary Committee, "DoD Implanted A Microchip Inside Me" 222
The Georgia House Judiciary Committee took up a bill that would "prohibit requiring a person to be implanted with a microchip," and would make violating the ban a misdemeanor. Things started to get weird at the hearing when a woman who described herself as a resident of DeKalb County told the committee, "I'm also one of the people in Georgia who has a microchip." Not sure of what she was trying to say, she was allowed to continue and added, "Microchips are like little beepers. Just imagine, if you will, having a beeper in your rectum or genital area, the most sensitive area of your body. And your beeper numbers displayed on billboards throughout the city. All done without your permission." Further prodding revealed that the woman's co-workers would torture her by activating the chips with their cell phones and that the chips were implanted by "researchers with the federal government." The committee thanked the woman for her input, and later approved the bill.

US Army implanted a glass-tube into his hand
Sure it wasn't a METAL tube like a piece of broken off IV needle? You even mentioned he was in for surgery.
Also, bone particles? Every couple years for a decade or two, a tiny little shard of bone from a broken molar extraction works its way to the surface of the skin of my mouth, makes a little pimple, hurts for about a day, pops out, and its gone. We're talking tiny little pieces of bone here, like the ball on the end of a ball point pen.
Finally, your hand is semi-translucent. Hold it up in front of a bright lamp and you'll see what I mean. Also they have a tendency to be blown off in explosions and generally smacked around. I'm not thinking hand would be location choice #1 for an implant, although I suppose it depends on the application.

And before the invention of the microchip, it was barcodes. Before barcodes, it was tatoos...

"When were Jews forced to receive a phyiscal marking in order to perform commerce?"
Around 1938. A big yellow star with 'Juden' on it, identifying you as a Jew. Suddenly with that star you couldn't do business in some places and were forced to go to Juden-catering places (which were often shut down as Germany went forward with the ethnic cleansing.)

While plausible, it fails to fit within the preterist viewpoint, which says that the events of Revelation took place before it was written, which was significantly prior to the 1930's.
