Hello John and Doves,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXHFHIOcga8&t=96s
At about 53:40 they start talking
about the 'mark of the beast' - how they think it's not
'forehead' as such, but the eye - like some sort of eye
scan/eye chip. To interact with computers...
Dr. Awe added that this could go
along with the verse "Wherefore if thy hand
or they foot offend thee, cut them off,
and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to
enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands
or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And
if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast
it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life
with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into
hell fire." Matthew 18:8-9. The mark of the
Beast in the forehead or on the right hand leads to the soul
being cast into hell.
Maybe these verses do have
something to do with the mark: "And he causeth all,
both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads:" Revelation 13:16
And Facebook recently changed
their name to "Meta" I think that is short for
"metaverse" - "the next evolution of social connection."
Welcome to Meta

"The light of the body is
the eye; if therefore your eye is healthy, your
whole body will be full of light. But is your eye is evil,
your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the
light within you is darkness, how great is that
darkness!" Matthew 6:24-23
So I can see the devil using the
eye for something evil in man.
Then we've got the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation telling us that "Digital IDs are an
effective tool against poverty." "If a person
cannot prove who they are, can they take advantage of all of
the opportunities society has to offer?"....."Proof of
identity enables people to fully participate in the
economy. It eases access to employment and education
as well as services such as banking, government programs and
health care."
"Fortunately, a formidable
solution has emerged: an open-source, customizable digital
ID system called Modular Open Source Identity
Platform (MOSIP) that is available to all
countries for free." So far, over 90 million people
are registered with MOSIP - Philippines, Ethiopia and
Morocco.
This Digital ID System
is "one of three pillars of what's known as digital public
infrastructure (DPI). The other two pillars are a digital
payment system and a data exchange
system. DPI can "help low- and
middle-income countries leapfrog traditional stages of
development, lift millions out of poverty, and spur economic
growth." People will need a digital ID to use
"digital bank accounts and instant payments" and to use
"mobile phone accounts and personal data management."
You'll need a digital ID
to have a cell phone. To have a bank account.
That's coming.
The above article refers to the
Indian system: Aadhaar
India has a system (Aadhaar) they
started in 2009 to give every citizen a "unique
biometrially-verifiable identification number. These
biometrics (iris scan and fingerprint records) would be
linked to a person's Aadhaar number, which would in turn be
used in all interactions with the state - weeding out fraud,
making taxation more efficient, and ultimately saving money,
the government said....Today, 1.2 billion Indians -
including over 99% of the adult population - are
enrolled." Complaints of the system include
"...near impossible in India to buy a cellphone contract or
open a bank account..without providing an Aadhaar
number." (A Supreme Court ruling changed this so that
private companies "could no longer require users to provide
their Aadhaar details as a condition of service.) The
Court said that "Aadhaar gives dignity to the
marganilized...Dignity to the marginalized outweighs
privacy."
India's program involves
having a 12 digit ID number - connected to fingerprints
and iris scans. Every person enrolled has
an ID card that matches up with their data in a biometric
database. It is required as proof of identify to get
Social Services and Welfare Payments. Banks, e-wallet
providers, insurance companies all use the Aadhaar card
through use of a fingerprint machine or iris scan
machine. There are some listed downsides to this
system in the article - one big one is 'leaks' of data and,
of course, this becomes a surveillance system.
What
to Know About Aadhaar, India's Biometric Identity System |
Time
They are hoping "that the
system will register 1 billion people over the next
decade." That's far short of the 8 billion
people in the world now. But according to what we are
told there is going to be a great population reduction going
on all through the Tribulation Period. And to get 1
billion people registered during 'normal' times will be a
lot easier than during the Tribulation time.
"The first reference (in
Revelation) indicates that 25% of the world's population
will die. The second mentions that 33% of the
remaining population will die. That means over 50% of
the world's population will die..."
During
tribulation, how many people will survive
At today's number of 8 billion -
that's 4 billion left. And then there's continued
woes, continued deaths through the rest of the
Tribulation. Adding in those who are beheaded.
This 'death' will cut down on the
number of people who will get a digital ID. Maybe
they'll only need to mark 1 billion.
Information on Iris Scans:
There are many iris scanner
manufacturers out there. This biometric ID method can
be used by CCTV cameras, smartphones, etc.
"According to the theory of probability, in the entire
history of mankind, there have not yet been two
people with the same iris....It is impossible to
find two completely identical patterns of the eye's iris,
even in twins. Glasses and contact lenses, even
colored ones, will not affect the imaging process in any
way. It should also be noted that the performed
operations on the eyes, removal of cataracts or implantation
of coroneal implants do not change the iris's
characteristics; it can not be altered or modified. A
blind person can also be identified using the iris of their
eye. As long as the eye has an iris, its host can be
identified." The camera process is not a scan but an
image or photograph. "The iris' texture resembles a
network with many surrounding circles and patterns that can
be measured by a computer. Iris scanning software uses
about 260 anchor points to create a sample. In
comparison, the best fingerprint recognition identification
systems use 60-70 points."
"All that such a recognition
system needs to verify a person is a snapshot of his
iris. Therefore to launch this scenario, each person
must go through one-time photographing of their eyes."
Standard lighting and invisible infrared is used- "Infrared
light in the iris scan helps to recognize the unique pattern
of darker eyes more accurately. "These two digital
photograph...are then subjected to computer analysis...and
highlights 240 features in iris patterns..." Unique
characteristics for each eye "are converted into a simple, digital
number consisting of 512 digits (also called an
iris code) which are stored in the computer
database along with your name and other details.

Scanner: How It Works | Eye Scan Technology Overview |

Sounds like a very easy process
with the right technical tools. People alive during
the Tribulation and the 'marking' time will have two
choices: take the mark in the right hand (possibly a
fingerprint) or forehead (possibly an iris scan/iris
implant?) or be killed.
Going along with what Dr. Awe said
in the God A Minute video -if the forehead could be
eye - for an iris scan, why couldn't the hand be finger for
the fingerprint? Just a thought.
Dr. Awe in the video noted that the
skin on the forehead is relatively thin - putting a chip
there would be noticeable (I suppose some people wouldn't
want a bump on their forehead) - so he's suggested some sort
of chip in the eye or some sort of scan of the eye. We
already have the iris scan and finger print collections
going now in several countries - being connected for
identity.
Personally, I lean towards some
sort of physical 'mark' - some sort of tattoo or implant
because all the people with this mark get grievous
sores. An iris scan or fingerprint wouldn't result in
grievous sores - - it's probably more than a 'scan' or print
or photograph.
But iris scans/fingerprints are
growing in popularity for IDs, CBDC, etc.
Just a few thoughts for now...
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
