Global Digital ID With Vaccines Is Now Being Promoted As Way To Combat The Virus - By PNW Staff -
First, it was former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown who called on world leaders to form a "temporary" global government in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Then it was the United Nations Secretary-General asking nations to contribute at least ten percent of their annual income, essentially a global tax.
Now we have Bill Gates and other influential leaders suggesting another global solution - Global Digital ID as part of a vaccination program.
Bill Gates has emerged as a global "authority" in the wake of COVID-19, funding vaccines and advising governments on how to respond to the pandemic.
Gates was busily working to establish global digital ID infrastructure long before the outbreak, which is now being promoted as a way to combat the virus.
ID2020--a project initiated by Bill Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, transnational pharmaceutical corporations, and technology firms--is pushing the concept that every human on the planet needs biometric verification because "to prove who you are is a fundamental and universal human right," according to the ID2020 website.
Gates is not the only one in favor of such systems. Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci who appears with Trump at the daily news briefings recently confirmed in an interview with CNN that the idea of Americans carrying "certificates of immunity" is a possibility being considered to identify people who have been infected with the COVID-19 virus and help jump-start America's economy in the coming weeks.
The certificate of immunity is the pathway that Gates sees for introducing his Global Digial Id certification. Last month Gates was asked about such a certificate on a Reddit forum and said the following:
"Obviously, some kind of recording and tracking mechanism that relies on technology to alert -- in context of discussing coronavirus -- "who has recovered," versus who has "been tested," versus who has been administered a vaccine, "when we have one."
The similar thinking of Fauci and Gates should not come as a surprise. Both are well connected with one another. Fauci serves as a member of the Leadership Council for the Global Vaccine Action Plan.
This organization was established in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Health Organization and Fauci's own NIAID -- a plan that calls for a "Decade of Vaccines" to spread far and wide, all around the globe.
Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest men in the world, is already leading the charge to fund the construction of several factories that will be looking for a vaccine for this new virus and has suggested "larger public gatherings may not resume until broad vaccination has taken place."
"As countries begin to lift coronavirus lockdowns, biometric identification can help verify those who have already had the infection, and ensure that the vulnerable get the vaccine when it is launched, health and technology experts said," reports Reuters.
A biometric ID system can keep a record of the infected and those getting the vaccine, said Larry Dohrs, Southeast Asia head at iRespond, a Seattle-based nonprofit that launched its technology last month.
Under the "digital inclusion" initiative, Bill Gates has already been pushing for India's Aadhaar digital ID system to expand around the world prior to the outbreak. The World Bank is heavily invested in the project.
The GSMA - the industry organization for global mobile operators - recently published a report detailing the push for digital ID systems worldwide to respond to COVID-19. As reported:
State governments in India are adapting real-time digital identification mechanisms to monitor compliance with quarantines arising from the COVID-19 pandemic...
Meanwhile, the Jamaican government is looking to fast track the rollout of its National Identification System to help it dispense aid in response to the COVID-19 outbreak...
GSMA technologies are supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As reported last year, the biometrics company Idemia joined the project:
Idemia has joined the newly launched GSMA Inclusive Tech Lab to support the development of innovations and future technologies that boost digital and financial inclusion...
The GSMA Inclusive Tech Lab intends to promote access to financial, healthcare, mobility, and other services by supporting initiatives around open APIs, artificial intelligence, and digital identity... The GSMA Inclusive Tech Lab is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Idemia is a central company involved in supplying the infrastructure needs of most digital and biometric ID systems around the world.
Idemia also makes drivers licenses in the United States.
Gates said in a 2018 CNBC interview that it was "too bad" if someone thought that Aadhaar was a privacy issue and that those who refuse to be tagged by this system will eventually become outcasts and denied basic services.
If you believe this is dangerously close to China's "social credit" system, you're not far off the mark.
Such a vaccine will eventually become mandatory and those who resist will be blacklisted as public health criminals. They will be locked out of society, similar to Chinese citizens suffering under China's totalitarian social credit system.
Biometric data, ID technology, health ratings/vaccination records, and digital commerce are all merging and advancing to the next level.
While we don't ultimately know what final form the "Mark of the Beast" described in the Book of Revelation will take - these trends all appear to be a foreshadowing of what may be to come.
Digital Worship May Create America's Next Spiritual Awakening - by Greg Laurie - https://harvest.org
Like everywhere else across America, the church I pastor in Southern California, Harvest Christian Fellowship, had to go exclusively to online services four weeks ago. Scrambling to respond to the abrupt change in circumstance, we were pleasantly surprised when on the first Sunday of quarantine we realized our online attendance exceeded 250,000.
But then it just continued to grow. Last week, we had over a million people tune in for church. These are people literally from all around the world, from every age and background, who are missing church. So, to the best of our ability, we are bringing church to them. What's more, hundreds of thousands of them are people whom marketers would refer to as the "target demographic" between the ages of 18 and 34. Since the shutdown started, our millennial viewership is up 235 percent.
What exactly is going on here?
For decades, the church has been trying, seemingly in vain, to reach America's youngest generations-millennials and Generation Z-with the Gospel. All the while, we've seen headline after headline and poll after poll reminding us that church attendance has been falling, and rapidly. The fastest-growing religion in America is now the "nones," those individuals who aren't necessarily atheists. Maybe they're loosely spiritual, but they profess faith in no specific religion or tradition.
Enter a global pandemic. Could it be that simply by responding as best and as quickly as we could to something no one saw coming, we've unwittingly stumbled into part of God's answer to a generational riddle?
A millennial friend of mine wrote:
"As a millennial I understand in a way a Gen X or a Boomer doesn't (and probably a little less than a Gen Z) what it means to be digitally native. Doesn't it make sense, then, that God would bring about revival, a great new American Awakening, through our telephone and laptop screens?"
Consider this: We touch our phones a shocking 2,617 times a day, and 84 percent say they can't go a single day without their phone. Most people under 30 can't even remember a world before cellphones. Perhaps this is why some psychologists refer to millennials as "Generation Panic." They have been so inundated by a world of unrealistic comparisons and "excessive expectations" online that they are afflicted by "a harsh inner critic and an obsessive need to achieve."
Meanwhile, many have a form of in-person social anxiety. They've been interacting on social media and message boards like Reddit, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram for so long that while they're extremely fluent in those digital settings, they are much less comfortable with in-person interactions. Some psychologists are now prescribing screen detoxes and screen-free zones to help our young people cope with the anxieties of life and relationships.
This is obviously problematic, taken on the whole, but God will use any opening he can get.
Again, my millennial friend told me:
"Just sitting alone in my living room, watching Sunday service with no one watching me, with no pressure to behave or perform, I had an encounter with God that was truly powerful."
In a perfect world, they would all be part of a great congregation with a loving pastor, accompanied by a spiritually supportive community. But we don't live in a perfect world. We live in a world of rampant anxiety and a global pandemic.
But here is the most surprising thing to me about this new, burgeoning online congregation. At the end of my message, I extended an opportunity for people to pray and ask Jesus Christ to come into their lives. At last count, over 31,000 have responded. That's in four weeks.
You've heard of "life imitating art." Well, this is virtual reality becoming actual reality.
Maybe it's a new piece to an ever-evolving puzzle: how to say something old to a new audience. Just as Paul wrote letters, as Gutenberg used the printing press and as Billy Graham used film and television, the church is called to engage the un-churched and under-churched, using whatever useful tools we have at our disposal. The new wave of video technology allows a preacher like me to bring the Gospel into your living room in a way that is more personal and intimate than ever before. It's also a medium millions of young people are very comfortable with.
Don't misunderstand me. Nothing takes the place of the local church and gathering and worshipping in person. I am also alarmed by some of the overreach on the part of some government authorities who are not letting Christians gather even for a drive-in service on Easter morning. Nevertheless, we are in the fourth week of having the doors of our church building closed, and yet the doors for the church have never been more open.
Harvest Christian Fellowship is already planning and looking forward to gathering with our congregation in person again, hopefully in the very near future. But in the meantime, while we are all still sheltering in place, we are seeing something take place that looks an awful lot to me like a spiritual awakening.
Let's hope and pray that it continues. America is long overdue.
It's not the mark of the beast, but... - Bill Wilson -
People in America want to get back to work. Protesters in Michigan and Kentucky are saying that government lockdowns are unconstitutional. Meanwhile, the Washington, DC government has extended the lockdown for yet another month. There is a debate taking place about how to monitor people exposed to or who have had COVID-19 and how to prevent further spread of the disease. Some suggest an "immunity passport" or some such monitoring of your daily movements in order to return to work. These systems tracking who is infected and who isn't are being created in other countries, South Korea, Singapore, and none other than China. And these systems are being pitched here in the United States.
This is an inherent problem with government health care. It opens the door to people control. The government could try to implement a monitoring system as it brings the economy back to work. Certainly, the Democratic leadership, the news media and some high-tech big business that stands to make trainloads of money, are in favor of such a system. And they will attempt to trample your constitutional right to privacy using public health concern scare tactics. Apple and Alphabet's Google say privacy and security are top priorities as they collaborate to activate such immunity passports to track "the virus" using cell phones. The app actually can notify other app uses of an infected person within 10 feet.
The access to this data is a huge question. Google and Apple say that the personal data remains on the user's phone and disappears after 14 days. In light of the Obama Administration's agreements with these tech giants to mine private data, how does anyone believe their personal data is safe from exploitation? Essentially, this system and others have the ability to identify both the infected and the non-infected. Conspiracy theories abound about Microsoft founder Bill Gates developing a chip technology carrying your personal health data. While President Trump has cut US funding of the World Health Organization, the Gates Family Foundation increased its WHO funding by $250 million. A White House insider with knowledge of the situation tells me that the President is against government-mandated tracking of private citizens.
Beginning with social security numbers and beyond, people have sounded alarms about these things being used as the mark of the beast as found in Revelation. They are not. Maybe they are a type and shadow, but they are not the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast as prophesied in Revelation is required to buy, sell and not be killed, but it also requires worship of the beast as God. Revelation 20:4 says, "And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands." While government tracking is a horrible violation of privacy, it is not the mark of the beast, which would be taken as an openly conscious decision to deny the one true God and worship the beast.
