Indonesia mandates face biometrics for all new mobile number registrations

Indonesia will require facial biometric verification for all new SIM card registrations from July 2026, tying phone access to its national civil identity database under centralised government control. This marks another step in the global march toward a unified digital identity infrastructure where participation in basic communication requires biometric registration with the state — a system that mirrors the kind of control described in end-times prophecy. Revelation 13:17 warns of a coming system where no one may buy, sell, or — by extension — participate in society without being marked and known by a controlling authority.
