The City of London has published a blueprint for a Digital Verification Orchestrator (DVO), a centralised infrastructure layer that would allow biometric identity data to be verified, shared, and reused across financial services and government systems. This represents a significant step toward a unified, trackable digital identity ecosystem — precisely the kind of global infrastructure that prophecy scholars connect to the coming mark-of-the-beast system described in Revelation, where no one can buy or sell without authorised identification. Revelation 13:16-17 warns of a time when a controlling system will mandate verified identity for all economic participation.
