The nation of Ethiopia has announced it will make the transition to mandatory digital IDs for all citizens, with the chief enforcement tool being the major banks. Using a World Bank-supported digital ID system with standards also approved by an eight-nation working group within the United Nations, all citizens of Ethiopia will need to have a digital ID in order to use banking services in the country by 2025.
This is just the latest evidence that banks are driving the digital identity agenda. We’ll break it all down in this article and show why digital identity must precede digital money in the reset to a completely digital global economy.
Biometric Update reported, “Ethiopia is implementing a World Bank-supported MOSIP-based digital ID project which intends to have all eligible citizens enrolled by 2025. The country also recently contracted IrisGuard to support benefits payments to citizens with iris biometrics.”
So if you want a bank account or wish to access government benefits, you will need a digital ID in Ethiopia. This is the plan for all nations. Eventually, you will need the digital ID to buy and sell and log onto the internet.
Ethiopia follows Canada, Nigeria, China, Finland, Germany, Japan, Norway, Sweden, South Korea, Sri Lanka and a host of other countries that have already rolled out biometric digital identities or are in the process of doing so. Some are mandatory and some still voluntary. This puts them in compliance with United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goal 16.9. Most of these digital IDs apply to banking, healthcare and other services. Less than a dozen U.S. states also have issued fully digital ID drivers’ licenses containing a person’s facial scan, iris scan or other biometric data, although these are still voluntary and not mandatory.
The World Bank system appears to be the gold standard for a globally recognized digital identity, fulfilling the forecast more than three years ago by World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab that everyone would eventually have a digital identity, and that the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution would “lead to a fusion of our physical, biological and digital identities.”
According to Wikipedia, the World Bank’s entire strategy is “influenced by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, as well as environmental and social safeguards.”
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see where the establishment power elites are heading with this. They need to get the global digital IDs in place and mandated before they roll out the new global digital money system. The two together will combine to form the crux of the global beast system.
The global movement toward digital IDs, which had largely stalled out, was catapulted forward by the Covid crisis.
In April 2022, eight U.N.-member states formed a working group on digital identity tasked with drafting “a set of high-level principles to support the development of mutually recognized and interoperable digital ID systems and infrastructure,” according to a report by the Global Government Forum.
The eight nations leading the way on globalized digital IDs are Israel, New Zealand, Australia, Finland, Canada, Singapore, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
The working group is chaired by Australia’s Digital Transformation Agency. The group was initially formed to allow its members to “share experiences and opportunities for the use of digital identity initiatives, with a focus on the response to and recovery from the impacts of COVID-19 on governments and people.”
In its report, the Digital Government Exchange (DGX) Digital Identity Working Group (DIWG) said its goal is to enhance trade agreements and to “facilitate economic recovery from COVID-19, for example to support the opening of domestic and international borders”.
The 11 principles call for digital ID infrastructure to be open; transparent; reusable; user-centric; inclusive and accessible; multilingual; secure and private; technologically neutral and compatible with data portability; administratively simple; able to preserve information; and effective and efficient.
“A common set of definitions and universal taxonomy for digital identity is critical to enable mutual recognition of digital identities and interoperability of digital identity systems… This set of common definitions will evolve as trust frameworks and digital identities are further developed,” the report said.
The United Nations’ World Food Program recently announced plans to install biometric checkpoints at food distribution centers in an effort to cut down on the high levels of theft in Ethiopia.
In a further move, the National Bank of Ethiopia announced last week that the national digital ID known as “Fayda” will be mandatory for all citizens in order to use national banking services.
The National ID Program explained the move in a July 10 press release, which states:
The first initiative is set to onboard all financial sector customers onto the digital ID platform in the upcoming fiscal year, offering a more robust and secure financial ecosystem for all parties. The purpose of this initiative will not only benefit the existing customer base, but will increase financial inclusion by removing barriers to entry. This process will follow legal and technical safeguards guided by cybersecurity and personal data protection principles enshrined within the existing legal framework.
As such, a Digital ID will serve as a primary Bank ID and will have legal acceptance in all financial institutions.
By offering a reliable and real-time identity verification system, this new digital ID platform called “Fayda” can serve as a basis for new digital products while mitigating associated financial risks.
The implementation of this National ID as a Bank ID in Ethiopia, will not only help the finance sector, it will also accelerate the country’s transition towards more transparency and inclusion serving as a key pillar for national development plans and journey towards a digital economy.
Just days before this announcement the government’s National ID Program began accepting registrations at eight different banks.
The department said in a statement, “The integration of Fayda ID into the existing financial service provided by banks will have a significant impact on the reduction of fraudulent activities, which is expected to enable banks to save millions in costs also related to manual operations and customer due diligence. It will also reduce the time taken to clearly identify individuals, register their data and provide a more efficient, secure, and reliable service transforming the banking ecosystem.”
In a op-ed piece published in April, Nohaila Ibn El Farouk for the Addis Standard noted that “change is coming to Ethiopian banking,” writing:
“Digital banking solutions can also serve as a catalyst for turning the tide of what has long been the elephant in the room when it comes to African banking: the large percentage of the population is unbanked.
“Like in many other countries in Africa, only a minority of Ethiopian adults have registered for any sort of bank account, but digital banking has proven that it can quickly redress the imbalance.
“Tech solutions are likely to attract not only the expected crowd of young, tech-savvy customers, but also those living in remote or rural areas, where an internet connection is easier to get hold of than a brick-and-mortar bank. With 75% of its population unbanked, the potential for growth in Ethiopian banking is immense.
“Change is coming to Ethiopian banking, bringing with it both risk and opportunity. It is up to the country’s authorities, financial sector, and general population to seize the reins of this transformation and use it to shape the future of Ethiopia. How long until we hear the lion of Ethiopian finance roar again?”

Good morning Leo.
Turkey has been using Digital ID for more than a DECADE!!!
It is described as “eDevlet” in English “Electronic State”.
A few weeks ago this structure was hacked and all the personal info of Turkish Nation was for sale on the web.
At hospitals, fingerprints and Palm Prints have been recorded for more than a DECADE!!!
On the health side there is a Digital Health Service for the Turkish People.
It is described as “eNabız” in English “Electronic Pulse”.
All the private health data, hospital visits, medicine usage, surgical operations, blood and other laboratory checks & results and more are stored ON THE WEB!!!
This is NOT new for the Turks. But Turks think that “More technology means Better Life”. They have NO idea about SURVEILLANCE and PRIVATE DATA VALUE.
This data can be used for Bio Attacks.
At the end of 1990s a Jewish Man with Turkish Citizenship apperaed on Turkish TVs. According to news, that man was very ill (Leukemia).
Turkish Media started a Blood Donation Campaign. And Hundreds of thousands of Blood Samples were collected.
And after some years Turkish People learned that “That man was NOT ill and these blood samples were sent to Israel and USA for DNA analysis”.
Name of that Jewish man is Oktar Babuna. He had some meetings and photos with Benjamin Netanyahu.

We can hardly even give our wealth to ministries while we are still able to.

I run these scenarios through my head every night when I should be sleeping. I’m sick to my stomach all the time. Can’t quit shivering. Heart problems are back.
Nobody acknowledges what will happen. My family calls me crazy and keep taking injections of the bioweapon. Naive fools. Planning future exotic vacations. Where their kids will attend college. The kids they keep injecting with mRNA and giving other Big pHarma drugs to. Those college degrees will help them a lot in the transhumanist nightmare lying ahead.
I pray but it doesn’t help. I feel no peace. God does absolutely nothing.
What should we do?
Wait on the Rapture is what most Christians advise. Not sure how they’ll react if they don’t get beamed out.
Prep a bunch of stuff those devils in waiting will just confiscate to make us all starve to death slowly in the elements while they laugh and waltz off unpunished forever. Like all the vilest of the vile are doing.
Or just give up? Accept the triumph of evil on earth. Quit doing anything and sit around waiting to die or get beamed up since the Bible prophecied how futile all resistance is.
Just sit passively, give up and do nothing. These Bible prophecies being fulfilled show absolutely nothing we do matters at all.
The Rapturites are happily doing nothing. The rest of us are waiting to die. Doing nothing. These prophecies have robbed many of all agency rendering them passive and fatalistic.
I don’t think much about the Second Coming or Heaven or any Millennium. I just think about the terrifying approach of Satan’s coming kingdom on earth. That’s all I see or can imagine.
And I must bear this burden alone. Why was I allowed to see it since it has been no help to me or anyone else? The whole thing is pointless misery.
If it weren’t for the children I wouldn’t care. But we are powerless against such evil. And the slack jawed, drooling, bobble headed masses choose to stay ignorant. I don’t care about their suffering or death by this point. I feel dead inside and avoid talking to them. This is all their fault. Let Mr. Global have them. They won’t care. They don’t care enough to do anything.

Hi Rachel
On the one hand it’s apparent that we are in agreement on the futility of this present world. Paul wrote that if only in this life we have hope in Christ then we are of all men the most miserable.
On the other hand I do not share in your emptiness and hopelessness. My hope in Messiah is in His promises. This is not the “life” with the “afterlife” following. This is only boot camp. What is coming is “the LIFE” and we look forward to that restoration and above all to the unspeakable joys of being with the One who loved us and gave himself for us.
Perhaps you spend insufficient time on your knees with Him and contemplating His Word? Please find those songs of worship that resonate best with your soul and let them lift your heart out of the darkness and into His marvelous light.
I know that it’s very painful to be bearing the cross but we will eventually be astonished at how quickly past all of this will be then my sister.

Hello Rachel
When I read the bible, I don’t see Christians trying to forcefully change the world. We have a testimony for anybody who wants to hear and our behaviour should be an example to those around us who want to take note.
But we are told that the world is on an inevitable course to destruction and that the future in this world for Christians is bleak. The stress comes when we refuse to accept these facts.
As for me I’m doing my best to be spiritually prepared for what is to come.
Paul received huge revelation from God but that didn’t exempt him from suffering. I would argue that it meant more suffering for Paul, including the thorn in his flesh which he had to bear.
He asked God to take it away but God said,
“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Paul said,
“Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Paul accepted what he could not change.
There are times when I dip and am daunted by what’s coming upon the world. My response is to content myself that I am happy to die for my faith and I believe that God will give me the strength when the time comes.
We can’t force our religious or political beliefs on others. So, there’s no point in fretting when other people are not interested.
Save your energy for those who ARE interested state your case peacefully because if you are too pushy or aggressive then people will just switch off.
I hope this helps you.

Hi Rachel! I have never replied to anyone or anything on any platform but your response to all of the evil going on in this world, breaks my heart. I am a born again Christian. I repented of my sins as a child and have been truly saved by the grace of God, thru faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have the Holy Spirit living in me. He is the One who gives me strength to fight the good fight and to keep me going. He will do it for you too.!! Just ask God daily to fill you with his Holy Spirit. Ask for wisdom and spiritual discernment, as he will surely give you, for this is the will of God.
There was a time in my life, when raising my children, that I didn’t lean on God as I should have. I knew in my head that He should be first in my life, yet he wasn’t. My husband came first, my children and family second, and God last. This is not God’s intended order nor His desire for his children and it can cause much heartache at some point in life. Of course, I was young and just couldn’t understand it, until one day, 30 plus years later, I realized I had been quenching the Holy Spirit throughout my married adult life! I went to a great church but as I thought back, I had never really heard a sermon regarding this topic. Thankfully, as a child and teenager, I had been taught about the Holy Spirit in the small town church I attended. Yet, after getting married at the age of 21 and later starting a family, I neglected much of what I had learned in church and got so busy with life that I depended on myself, my husband, and my family for everything. In other words my flesh my life took over. And let me tell you, it will work for quite a while but not forever. I went thru quite a few trials and tribulations in life but the best day of my life was when a voice spoke to me about 10 yrs ago
(I believe with all my heart, it was the Holy Spirit inside me) and opened my eyes to the Truth. From that point on, I realized my family was broken, including myself. I was hurt deeply but that’s when I realized that God tells us in His word that he is there for us in our time of sorrow and will never leave us nor forsake us. What a wonderful feeling it is to know that our God will be there for us always and forever, no matter what. He was there for me in the moment I needed Him most. That’s when I knew for the first time in my life that I wanted and needed God desperately to be number One in my life. It changed my whole perspective and outlook on life. He gave me hope and strength to face the future. He gave me peace thru adversity. Peace that passes all understanding. Wow! It’s awesome and I know He will give it to you also. Just talk to him and ask him to give you His peace. It’s a life changer.
I know we don’t all agree on the Rapture issue, although I firmly believe in a Pre-trib rapture. I believe the end times are upon us. I WILL say, in my younger years, I was not ready to meet Jesus, for I was naive and could only think of enjoying my young family, at the time. Pretty typical, I’m sure! But now that I’m older and much wiser, thanks to God, I’m ready! As much as I love my grandchildren, I hate what’s happening all around us, all the evil that’s taking place. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy! He knows his time is about up so I’m pretty sure he’s doing everything in his power to destroy our nation, our government, our families, and our churches by dividing us all. God’s word tells us that during the last days that these things will take place and deception will be rampant. I firmly believe it. I have grandchildren and can’t fathom to think of them in this world gone mad. The Rapture is my blessed hope! God wants us to fix our eyes on Him and Eternity. That’s all that matters. This earth is temporary but eternity with our Lord and Savior is forever!! Hallelujah!!!
So Rachel, so sorry for the long post but I just want you to know that I will be praying for you! I pray for God to give you inner peace and understanding!! Keep the faith my friend for in the end, God wins!! He defeated Satan long ago and he will once again get the victory, the honor and the glory that He so richly deserves!!!

The blessed hope Paul mentions in his letter to Titus is the “hope of eternal life”
This is the hope, that Paul states in the beginning of his letter and he reiterates this at the end of the letter.
Titus 1:2
“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;”
Titus 3:7
“That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
verse 13 in chapter 2, is a reference to this hope and should be read in the context of Paul’s stated hope.
Titus 2:13
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”
You will notice that there is no mention of a pretribulation rapture in Paul’s letter but that hasn’t stopped the pre-tribbers from hijacking the verse and twisting it to suit their misguided notion.
A hope with no substance is no hope at all.
I hope this comment lends some clarity to Paul’s letter for those who are interested.

Rachel–Your hope should NOT be in this world. You are here as a Christian PRIMARILY to witness to the hope of God’s kingdom and His Love for mankind. Preaching fear does not convert anyone. If those you talk to are not listening to your warnings about the gathering storm, it’s because they are not yet affected with suffering and can’t imagine what you describe. Or they don’t want to think about it because they think they can do nothing anyway and they just want to live their lives. It’s their choice. Don’t get angry with them and withdraw your compassion if they reject your message. Consider if what you’re telling them is quite possibly not what they actually NEED to hear.
Anthony is right when he says you can’t force your views on others, and that you should save your words for those who would listen. Good advice.
You say you pray and you think God is doing nothing. But are you so sure?? We’ve been living through an age of turmoil since the French Revolution, and a huge “turning” is occurring throughout the world. Is it the End of the World? Or merely the end of an age? We don’t know. But we are all still here, breathing His air and our needs for life are met. God doesn’t tell us when the end of the world will come because he wants us to work His will through whatever happens through all the ages. He said “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. “ (John 15:18) Jesus “came unto his own, but his own people did not receive Him” (John 1:11) And this: “The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.” (Luke 10:16) Rejection is expected, but God never told the early Christian to react by giving up, doing nothing, stewing in your despair until you reject God himself out of your anger.
Our job is carry forward the Christian hope of salvation, spreading the love of the true God and how we should live in His world. We—created in the image of God–are to become like him in the deepest sense—a vision of a new kind of humanity sanctified by God. That’s what changed the tired, pagan Roman world, already on its way to decline and fall, into a Christian culture with a whole new vision and different way of living. Those believers were so able to change that world that old Rome abandoned its cruel, inhuman, perverse practices that had been so normalized in their culture. We can be that force again to change this ignorant world that has forgotten the Lord and is re-paganizing itself and inviting the devils to control this world. But you can’t if you’re sitting in despair.
Yes, there are a lot of poorly educated Christians following false ideas and doctrines. Stop fretting and talk to them when they are ready to listen.
In I Kings 18 and 19, the prophet Elijah triumphed over the priests of Baal, and killed them, but panicked when Jezebel came after him to take revenge. Where did his previous faith and confidence suddenly go?? When he reach the shelter of a tree in the wilderness, he asked God in despair to let him die there. God sent ravens to feed him and let him rest, and then questioned what he was doing there. Elijah said: ‘I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.” He says this twice, He thought he was the only one in Israel doing the will of God, but he got the facts very wrong, because he was so focused on “woe is me”. But God came to Elijah not through the storm and earthquake, but spoke in a still small voice, giving Elijah a new commission, a new purpose. Sometimes God speaks to us in a whisper and that’s when you have to climb out of your dark cave and listen.

This is our only hope – our Blessed Hope for those of us watching for Jesus to come and take us as He promised. He said he is coming back to take us to where He is (John 14:2-6). Please don’t give up. His words are true and He promised us He would keep us from the wrath to come (Revelation 3:10).

I know there is a reason why the US is usually the last in such things. Things move through the ‘progressive’ lands first, through Europe and Canada and the greater UK and so on, and many parts of the world where they know people will be submissive and compliant. But they know that here people have their bearings. I am like this as an individual. My first and only allegiance is to the Lord and I am His. But in the sense of so many things, I am autonomous, I know my rights, I own my body and don’t allow people to trespass my boundaries, do things to me without my consent, disrespect my human dignity, trample upon my freedoms or walk all over me in any way, etc. It’s not easy to enslave a population like that and they know it. So they wait with the US because they know it will be a battle and what people will not tolerate and so on. A people that don’t know they own themselves, don’t know their rights, don’t stand up for themselves, are weak spined, submissive, weak minded, easily subjugated, manipulated, brainwashed, don’t question authority, comply quickly, are indoctrinated, programmed and controlled…. now that is the type of people they want. I am the opposite of all that and I know there are plenty in the US who are like me this way and they know it, and they hate it. I see it on an individual basis. I have usually had a ‘sweet and innocent’ look and people mistake you for someone naive and gullible and they try to finagle you for everything, donations, volunteer work, etc. Now I have a more mature and defensive demeanor and anything iffy that pops up and right away that ‘don’t even think about messing with me’ look comes up and off they scurry back into the shadows and under the rocks they slinks out from under! Whether it be at work or in a store or anywhere, this is the case and it is true as a nation as well.
As for the encroaching tyranny, I know that this day is coming. There are battles to fight and also hills to die on. I am not afraid to die for my faith and have nothing to lose in this world. Thank God I have no offspring to worry about, I especially feel for those with little ones now! I am middle aged and have had a good life and have nothing to look forward to other than the aches and pains that accompany the aging process, which have already crept up on me.

But I can’t tell anyone else what to do I can only advise them. This is our body and they have no jurisdiction over it. It is our territory and not theirs. It is part of the globalist scheme to trespass against our bodies and thereby take us over as if they own us and condition people to think that way. It’s also part of the ‘oneness’ and ‘interconnectedness’ campaign that will gain even more momentum in the future. People will feel less like they own themselves and more inclined to take the actual mark when it arrives. Jabs were just the start of trying to gain access to our bodies. Transforming people into semi-robots is another of their goals. You have to muster up the resolve to say no and draw the lines and be ready to face the consequences for that.

The bible tells us we are sealed/marked as Christ’s when we are saved. Satan cannot offer salvation, but what he does do is try to mimic God and Jesus hence the mark so you can be claimed as his. Those in the tribulation will be under no doubt what they are doing if they take the mark, and that it will change them in such a way that they can no longer be redeemed.
Be encouraged! As a believer you are in the double grip of grace. Jesus holds you in His hand, and it is the God the Father who gave you to Him, so nothing can ever take you from Him. (John 10:27-30)

Don’t take it.
My guess is they will admit that there’s a one world government and you will need to be on good terms with it to participate in the economy. Some theologians speculate that the “mark” is just a metaphor for absolute loyalty to a godless state. Thinking their thoughts (head) and doing their deeds. (Hand.)

Hello Imalles
If the events in Revelation 13 are in concise chronological / consecutive order.
Then the mark will not be rolled out until the second beast is in power.
The 2nd beast will be obvious because he will be accompanied by wonders and miracles.
11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
So, these events would seem to happen before the mark of the beast is rolled out because the mark of the beast is not mentioned until verse 16…
16And 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:
17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
So, I think that the roll out of the mark will be obvious to Christians who are grounded in God’s truth.
I also think that God will not allow a Christian to be deceived or tricked into taking the mark of the beast. So, please don’t get anxious about this.
I hope you find this comment helpful.

I’m always wary of saying or thinking any of these biblical developments will be “obvious.” Jesus told us the deception will be so strong during this period that, if possible, even the elect would be deceived. That doesn’t sound like obviousness to me. We saw this play out in real time during Covid, where something obvious to one Christian was totally accepted as good and a “new normal” to another. So this term “obvious” is relative and should not be casually thrown out there because it means different things to different Christians. Throw in the fact that some or all of these “miracles” the Bible talks about could be generated by deep-fake AI and it gets even creepier and more dicey!

Leo, I can’t thank you enough for tirelessly cranking out these powerful, detailed analyses of the events rushing pell-mell at us! They are pointing us to the realization that we need to be prepared in practical terms, but even more, drawing closer to our Lord, staying in His Word, and encouraging one another.
FWIW, I used to be really interested in discussions involving end time doctrines (there are a ton of them out there). But there is now so much apostasy in the Church surrounding just the core beliefs – you must be born again, the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, Jesus is the only way to the Father – that I wonder if there should be a “back to the basics” in Sunday sermons.
Like you said, the deception will be so strong.

Hello Leo,
Let’s keep to what I actually said.
I said,
“So, I think that the roll out of the mark will be obvious to Christians who are GROUNDED IN GOD’S TRUTH.
The Lord Jesus, whom you quote, said to watch out for the signs and events which he described in great detail in order to prevent us from being deceived.
The elect won’t be deceived because they will be grounded in Christ’s teaching as set out in Mathew 24.
Jesus explains the sequence of events which will unfold so that we won’t be deceived when that time comes.
He says,
“See I have told you beforehand”
Jesus goes on to say,
32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
So, we can see that by watching signs and events in the light of the scriptures, we can recognise events as they unfold and we can know what to expect.
Jesus and Paul have given us warnings of what is to come and they both have given us a sequence if events to watch out for so that we are not deceived.
This is why I argue with those who stray from what the bible teaches. They are being blinded so that they will not be able to interpret what’s unfolding before their eyes, especially when the man of sin is revealed.
With great zeal the pre-tribbers push their misinformed notion. They are blinding others and they bear a false testimony to Christ and his teaching.
My own opinions on the future :
I don’t buy into the notion that “some or all of these “miracles” the Bible talks about could be generated by deep-fake AI”
As I’ve said before, one angel could wipe out AI.
I believe that technocracy will give way to ‘demon-ocracy’
There is a demonic spiritual age which will come upon this earth at the time of the great tribulation. There will be false Christs and false prophets during an age that many refer to as the ‘new age’.
The players in this ‘ new age’ will be demon possessed. I believe that many of them will be ‘new age’ Christians and fake Penticostal Christians, who do not hold to the teachings of Jesus Christ and who never knew him.
I could go on!
But I will conclude by saying that we need to study the bible and make ourselves aware of what is to come upon the world so that we are not deceived.

The very first words of their “announcement” tell the whole story…
“””The first initiative”””
We should do everything possible as INDIVIDUALS to make it the last initiative. Too many people are waiting for someone else to do something, or for some group to come along they can join.
It’s too late for any of that. What we have to do is create a new majority of FREE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE, that are each doing what is in their own best interest. Once there are enough of them fighting back in their own individual way, they system can be taken down and replaced by one that works for somebody besides FAKE JEW bankers.
