You Will Have to Take a Mark to Buy, Sell or Even Read Anything

 We are the first generation that has the technology to make Revelation come true.  John saw the day when everyone needed some type of mark on their hand or forehead in order to buy or sell anything.  But maybe what John saw was someone pressing their forehead up against eye scanner?  He had no words for "eye scanner" so just wrote down what he saw.  And maybe he saw a vision of someone checking out at the grocery store and waving their palm over a scanner and said, "they had a mark on their hand."

However it actually plays out, the evidence that it will soon play out seems to be in our headline news daily.

The battle for your identity is no longer theoretical--it's happening right now, and most people aren't paying attention.

Reddit, one of the most influential platforms on the internet, is actively exploring the use of World ID, a biometric verification system powered by an orb-shaped device that scans your iris to prove you are a real person. Behind it is Tools for Humanity, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, whose involvement spans the very technologies creating chaos (AI) and now the systems designed to sort through that chaos (digital ID).

This isn't just a tech upgrade. It's a civilizational shift.

Under the banner of stopping bots and protecting children, a powerful coalition of governments and tech giants is working to embed identity verification into the foundations of the internet. And they're not asking for your name or password anymore. They want your eye. Your face. Your biology.

At first glance, it seems innocent--even helpful. But the implications are deeply disturbing: a world where access to the digital public square, online services, and even commerce itself could soon depend on biometric approval. A world where no biometric ID means no access.

If that sounds familiar, it should. Revelation 13 warned of a time when buying and selling would be impossible without a specific mark. That prophecy, long dismissed by skeptics as hyperbole, is now startlingly plausible.

And it's closer than you think.

A System of Control, Not Convenience

The World ID system works like this: you visit an "Orb," which scans your iris and generates a cryptographic identifier stored on your phone. The system claims to protect privacy--no names, no data trails--but let's be honest: the very act of submitting to a biometric scan is a surrender of something far more personal than a username. It is the surrender of your physical being as proof of participation in society.

The selling point is security and uniqueness. The real consequence is exclusion for anyone who refuses.

Reddit's CEO Steve Huffman has already stated that age verification and AI abuse will soon make user identification unavoidable. "We will do our best to preserve anonymity," he wrote, but his language betrays the truth: this is coming whether people want it or not. Soon, platforms may begin to treat non-verified users as second-class citizens--or block them altogether.

This isn't a crackdown on bots. It's the construction of a new internet caste system--the verified and the vanished.

The Road to Totalitarian Infrastructure

Behind this system is a dangerous centralization of power. Sam Altman already leads OpenAI, a company shaping the very language, images, and thoughts that flood the digital world. Now he may control the gatekeeping mechanism that determines who is allowed into that world.

If you want to speak, you may need his ID.

If you want to shop, you may need his verification.

If you want to exist online at all, you may need to submit to his Orb.

That is not innovation. That is infrastructure. And once embedded, it won't be optional. As more people get verified, the pressure will mount on the rest of society to follow--or face digital exile. Like all authoritarian tools, it begins with voluntary adoption. It ends with mandatory compliance.

History has shown that the most dangerous systems are not those that arrive with sirens and guns--but those cloaked in efficiency, wrapped in safety, and sold as progress.

Read that last sentence again and remember the Bible says, "While they are saying 'peace and safety', destruction will come upon them suddenly."
