This marks a watershed moment in the infrastructure of mass surveillance, accelerating the global capacity to identify, track, and monitor individuals at scale with unprecedented speed and reach. Revelation 13 describes a Beast system with the power to monitor and control all people — technologies like AI-driven biometric drones are rapidly building the architecture that could make such control a practical reality.
