Keir Starmer has said that people in the UK will not be able to work without a digital I.D. Apple has now introduced their own Digital I.D. to store passports, and other Identification for use domestically like air travel, and now everyone of course has to have their new real ID to travel in the states, which of course all points to what I see as a pretty dystopian view of both knowing your whereabouts, and perhaps controlling/limiting that through mass information gathering like marking the herd.

If you’re a believer as I am, it’s pretty difficult to ignore and write this off as anything but end times prophecy, and even if you aren’t, it’s looking extremely Orwellian.

What do you think about all of this?

It's the most reasonable assumption.
Especially once AI is running things.

They'll need it to work, but will they need it to vote?

Aren't there some necessary precursors to the mark?

Do those exist?

Uniform conformity vs individual freedoms

Sure seems to check the box

666 is digital but I suspect it was more akin to a tattoo when the Bible was written (you know - mark of the beast?) So what good would a "digital ID" with everyone bearing 666 on their digital ID if it only separates you from those that can trade and those that can't? The Bible is right or it's not but 8 (or whatever portion of that 8 billion that chooses Jesus)billion people marked with the same number accomplishes nothing. I'll let FooManChoo and Squierelmeister sort out the details. That's all I've got.

A better question is where is 666 on that digital ID?

That's the problem with this sort of interpretation. The person trying to fit the square peg into the round hole can ignore whatever text they want while filling in the gaps with whatever societal variable they want.

The Nero Theory still makes the most sense to me. The problem is that rapture-focused Evangelicals will not like that.

I don’t think people are going to get tricked into getting the Mark thinking it is something else.

I think it’s going to be a clear choice where taking the Mark signifies you are not a follower of Christ and you disavow Him.

It will hit the fan soon, because A.I. is going to ramp things up.

It’s more to do with the technology and big moves in all countries to both gather information, and control and monitor people that is perhaps the precursor rather than it being the actual beast system itself. We are already living in a very cashless society, and this just adds to control and overwatch.

The Mark is referring to emperor Nero as Christians were coming under extreme persecution in the 1st century - The mark of the beast on the right hand and/or forehead is symbolic of ownership and allegiance, it does not necessarily refer to a literal, physical mark.

It’s baffling that so many people have been deceived by the false pre-millennium view of the book of revelation

Sounds like a Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy

Sure, and there are advantages and disadvantages.

That has nothing to do with trying to shoe-horn it into a Biblical text that doesn't seem to fit.

I pulled up Revelation (I am not really well read on it b/c it's gobleygook that shouldnt' have ever been inserted into the Bible, in my view). And there are some precursor events that are necessary prior to the mark.

When were the 7 seals opened, and when did we see the effects of that?

When was the abyss opened, and then, when did these events occur:

1. Locusts ravaging those without the mark of God
2. The four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates (heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur)
3. The Angel and the Little Scroll
4. The Beast killing the two witnesses and laying their bodies in Egypt
5. The resurrection of the two witnesses in #4
6. The red dragon
7. The best from the sea

All of those things occur prior to the mark.

England, like most other countries, requires IDs to vote.
