Nigeria's president has directed that every citizen receive a National Identification Number by December 2026, with the NIN now being integrated across education, business, postal, and financial systems under a new national digital ID law. This sweeping push toward a single, mandatory, biometric-linked identifier for an entire population mirrors the prophetic framework of Revelation 13, where no one can buy or sell without a mark or number tied to a centralized system of control. Scripture warns of a coming global system requiring identification for participation in economic and civic life — developments like this normalise that infrastructure nation by nation.
