Tools for Humanity, the company behind the World ID biometric identity system, hired two law firms to investigate bribery of Thai officials and potential manipulation of its Worldcoin cryptocurrency, amid regulatory pushback across a dozen nations. The scandal exposes the fragility — yet relentless advance — of a global biometric identity infrastructure that would assign every person on earth a unique digital ID verified by iris scan, a system that mirrors end-times warnings about universal identification and economic control. Revelation 13:16-17 describes a coming system requiring a mark to buy or sell, and the rapid, worldwide rollout of iris-based digital identity — now spanning 18 million users across 160 countries — represents a significant and accelerating step toward that infrastructure.
