A major identity technology firm reports that 'authenticate once' digital security models are collapsing under AI-driven fraud, deepfakes, and session hijacking, driving a shift toward continuous biometric surveillance of every user interaction across all channels. This push for persistent, real-time identity monitoring of individuals across every digital touchpoint accelerates the global infrastructure required for a system in which no transaction or movement can occur without verified identity approval. Revelation 13:16-17 warns of a coming system where no one may buy or sell without a mark of identity — the architecture being built today is precisely the kind of control grid that would make such a system technically enforceable.
