V-chip is a generic term used for television receivers allowing the blocking of programs based on their ratings category. It is intended for use by parents to manage their children's television viewing. Most 13-inch and larger televisions manufactured for the United States market since 1999 and all units as of January 2000 are required to have the V-chip technology. Many devices similar to the V-chip have been produced.

I highly doubt it because there really couldn't be a more stupid plan than to tell everyone what you're going to do in advance in terms of taking over the world.
The book of Revelation talks about many things: The arrest, imprisonment and mass murder of citizens, the mark of the beast to track us and for the use of commerce, world wars, control of the populace via food, enslaving the masses, evil regimes, depopulation attempts, etc.
For that to have been written by the Illuminati would mean they gave us their 'playbook' in advance. That makes no sense.
All that would mean is we know what they're up to and would fight them at all costs. At all costs.
In my opinion, Revelation has it so spot on (as even you acknowledge) because it is divinely inspired as a warning to us. To either be prepared, to fight, or go into hiding. No way the NWO would give us such information.
It really amazes me how far people will go to deny the inspiration of the prophecies. Revelation's author, John, has an impressive amount of documentation to affirm its authorship as John of Patmos- not any kind of organized order such as the Illuminati.
Could it be, could it possibly be, that Revelation is what it is- a warning to us from above? In all seriousness, that makes a lot more sense than the NWO telling us what they plan in advance.

My personal belief is that the Book of Revelations was originally written as a mnemoic device to help people learn and remember knowledge about the night sky, such as processional astronomy and the positions of various constellations at different times of the year. It also encodes the long-term changes of the night sky over many thousands of years; this was precious and hidden knowledge 2,000 years ago. This is very easy to map, and there are many people who have done so...for example, the four creatures around the throne are clear references to the positions of the four cardinal constellations; the imagery of the "woman clothed in the sun" and the "great beast" = sun rising on solstace in the position of the constellation Virgo, when located above the constellation Draco ("woman riding a beast") close to the horizon, etc.
