Dermalog and ID Centric Launch Global Biometric Digital Identity Partnership

German biometrics firm Dermalog and Singapore-based ID Centric have formed a strategic partnership to develop and deploy end-to-end biometric digital identity systems across governments and enterprises worldwide, building on existing deployments in the Maldives and Philippines. The rapid globalisation of biometric identity infrastructure — linking individuals to national systems through fingerprint, face, and next-generation credentials — mirrors the biblical framework for a coming global system of control over buying, selling, and civic participation. Revelation 13:16-17 warns of a time when no one may buy or sell without a mark tied to identity, and the accelerating normalisation of biometric enrollment by nation-states lays the technological and institutional groundwork for exactly such a system.
