Here is a report about another European world leader promoting digital identification:

Netherlands Promotes Digital ID at Davos

January 22, 2024

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands took to the Davos stage to declare that digital IDs are necessary for nearly every aspect of social engagement. The Dutch queen told the World Economic Forum (WEF) that they can no longer trust the people, and digital IDs will provide governments with a clear way to track our behavior.

Vaccine passports are necessary to tell “who actually got a vaccination or not,” highlighting how those at the top do not trust the public. They want complete unilateral control. In fact, she believes that children should not be allowed to enroll in school unless they have a digital ID that includes their vaccination passport. “It [digital ID] is also good for school enrollment; it is also good for health – who actually got a vaccination or not; it’s very good actually to get your subsidies from the government,” she said to a room of nodding heads.

Want to open a bank account? You must present a digital ID. …

Dissent is no longer tolerated. The power they tasted during the lockdowns opened Pandora’s Box.  https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/wef/netherlands-promotes-digital-id-at-davos/

We know that the coming European 666 power will control buying and selling (Revelation 13:16-18) and more and more leaders in Europe are pushing for something that could be used to do so.

And unlike the photo at the beginning of this post, it is more likely that a fingerprint will be used instead of a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to use it.

Secular sources, and not just people who are familiar with biblical prophecies, have concerns about the use of a digital identification system as well. Last November, a reader tipped me off to the following warning about what Europe was up to on this front:

Beware the European Digital Identity

November 10, 2023

As if the single market and the single currency weren’t enough, the European Union is about to get a single ID system.

Under proposals agreed member states and the European Parliament this week, every EU citizen will be entitled to a European Digital Identity (eID) which will operate through the eID “wallet”.

An electronic wallet, kept on a computer or mobile phone, stores, displays and verifies important documents in digital form. These tend to have specialised uses, like making financial transactions. The new EU system, however, is intended to be comprehensive. According to the European Commission’s own website, potential uses include storing ID cards, birth certificates and medical information. It can also be used to open a bank account, apply for a loan or show proof of age. …

The Commission says that it is “available to any EU citizen, resident or business in the EU who wants to use it” (my italics), but how long will it be before individuals and organisations have to use it?

So far, opposition appears to be limited to Europe’s Right-wing populists. And no wonder, because to those who fear the imposition of a transnational surveillance state, the eID system looks like their nightmares come true. For instance, the spread of electronic wallets through the EU population provides the necessary infrastructure for a Central Bank Digital Currency — and hence the eventual abolition of physical cash. …Like it or not, then, eID is coming, https://unherd.com/thepost/beware-the-european-digital-identity/

EU Pushes CBDC-Linked ‘Digital Identity’ for All Citizens

November 9, 2023

The European Union (EU) is advancing plans to introduce a new “Digital Identity” that will be directly linked to a central bank digital currency (CBDC), a top Euro official has revealed.

The plan was exposed Wednesday on social media by Dutch Member of the European Parliament Rob Roos. …

 #EU Commissioner Breton said: ‘Now that we have a Digital Identity Wallet, we have to put something in it…,’ suggesting a connection between #CBDC and eID. https://slaynews.com/news/eu-pushes-cbdc-linked-digital-identity-all-citizens/

As far as financial controls, we know that they are coming to Europe. The Apostle John was told by Jesus to write the following:

15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)

The above prophecy suggests that there will be enforcers of the mark of the beast as well as for the control of buying and selling. That technology did not exist when John penned this, but is here now. Plus, we are seeing steps being taken to set the stage for this.

It is not just the EU and the WEF interested in this type of system. Notice also the following, also from November:

November 9, 2023

On November 8, 2023, the United Nations, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and partners of the Rockefeller Foundation launched the “50-in-5” agenda.

This campaign will accelerate digital ID, digital payments, and data-sharing in 50 countries over the next five years under the umbrella of digital public infrastructure.

The UN plans to roll out digital IDs worldwide by 2030, making them mandatory for participation in society.

We’re talking vaccine passports, health records, and central bank digital currencies, plus much more. https://danielbobinski.substack.com/p/like-it-or-not-digital-ids-will-soon

November 8, 2023

The 50-in-5 Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) campaign launches to accelerate digital ID, digital payments systems, and data sharing among 50 countries within the next five years.

In partnership with the United Nations, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Co-Develop, and others, the 50-in-5 campaign brings together both developed and developing nations to collaborate and share knowledge on best practices for Digital Public Infrastructure rollouts.

DPI consists of three main components:

• Digital ID
• Digital payments systems
• Data exchanges between public and private entities …
  

Togo’s Minister of Digital Economy and Transformation Cina Lawson told a 50-in-5 panel that the Togolese government began its DPI journey with the arrival of COVID-19.

First, the government set up a digital payments system within 10 days.

“We deployed it, and we were able to pay out 25 percent of all Togolese adults, and we distributed $34 million that the most vulnerable Togolese received directly through their mobile phones,” said Lawson.

Then, came vaccine passports.

Vaccine passports, by their very nature, serve as a form of digital identity, according to the WEF.

The WEF envisions digital identity being linked to everything from financial services and healthcare records to travel, mobility, and digital governance — all of which are components of DPI.

A WEF report on “Reimagining Digital ID” published in June 2023, says:

• “Digital ID may weaken democracy and civil society.”
• “The greatest risks arising from digital ID are exclusion, marginalization and oppression.” https://sociable.co/government-and-policy/50-in-5-dpi-launches-digital-id-payments-data-sharing/

The WEF is right that we will see exclusion, marginalization, and oppression because of this. Yet, the WEF –and many associated with it–are also promoting this. The fact that some in the WEF have raised some objections does not change its globalist plans, which the UN and EU are working to implement.
