There was a meeting on digital identification in London:

12 December 2023
As the world becomes more interconnected and every system is digitalized, new possibilities open up for users to have a secure and reliable digital identity (ID).
Speakers and panelists at the recent Fintech Connect conference in London explored the role that Web3 can play in shaping the future of digital ID and its implications for money and banking. …
A Web3-based digital ID would ensure users can carry their identity across different applications, streamlining the user experience. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the international standards organization for the web, has created standards for decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verified credentials that enable users to hold a verifiable, decentralized digital identity. …
Central to the widespread adoption of digital identity is the use of digital wallets, which will primarily be accessed via mobile phones or, alternatively, web-based interfaces. Forecasts indicate that there will be 8 billion mobile phones in use and 5.6 billion digital wallets globally by 2030, Palmer said.
The combination of multi-factor communication and a secured digital wallet on a mobile phone will become a powerful tool that will facilitate the use of a digital ID to adopt new technologies, including central bank digital currencies, Mendel said.
Digital wallets today store the user’s private key and provide a public key to which they can send funds. Smartphones that support the capability can store the private key, or users can store it with an exchange or other custodian. This technology may evolve in the future in the same way that phones have developed over time, from the basic cell phones of the late 1990s to the advanced smartphones we have today. …
“In order to adopt CBDCs, one of the missing links is digital identity,” said John Ho, Head of Legal, Financial Markets at Standard Chartered. “We need to ensure that the identity is enabled online and verified in real-time by trusted, verifiable sources that will enable money to be moved at scale.”
The European Union last month finalized legislation for an EU Digital Identity Wallet as a step towards its Digital Decade 2030 targets on the digitalization of public services. Singapore is moving towards introducing an e-wallet that will incorporate the user’s verifiable identity. https://www.techopedia.com/web3-and-blockchain-in-the-adoption-of-digital-identity

Yes, there are steps to move towards a digital ID and wallet–this is some that the EU wants. This type of ID will basically eliminate privacy and allow for ‘Big Brother’ to control buying, selling, and even a lot of movement.

Looming Digital Gulag: European Union’s Terrifying Digital ID Plan Exposed
December 12, 2023
“This is exactly the dystopia that George Orwell described in his novel 1984, which we are moving into today.” – Dominik Kettner
The European Union’s plan to introduce a Digital ID system, in conjunction with a digital euro and electronic identification (eID), has sparked widespead concerns about privacy and government control. This comprehensive globalist initiative also involves the integration of personal health data, amplifying worries about the erosion of individual freedoms. German entrepreneur and finance vlogger Dominik Kettner has brought these concerns to the forefront in a detailed video, shedding light on the potential implications of a looming “digital gulag.”
Kettner, an expert in the precious metals trade, argues that the European Parliament’s decision to roll out Digital IDs by 2030 is more than just an administrative change. He emphasizes the ambitious scope of this initiative, noting that by 2030, the plan aims to equip 80% of EU citizens with a Digital ID. This target not only sets a clear timeline but also underscores the vast scale of the project. He asserts that it represents a serious threat to personal freedom and could enable undue restrictions based on compliance with government norms. This Digital ID, according to Kettner, is not just a tool for identification but a potential means for the government to exercise unprecedented control over individuals.
The entrepreneur elaborates on the risks of consolidating personal data, including health and financial information, on a single digital platform. He fears that such a move could lead to a surveillance state, reminiscent of the dystopian world described in George Orwell’s “1984.” Kettner points out that this data would not only be accessible to authorities but also to private companies, further expanding the scope of surveillance and control. …
Kettner warns about the potential dangers of linking the Digital ID with the Digital euro and vaccination passes. He views this as a move towards an integrated system that would further enhance governmental control and surveillance capabilities, far beyond what might be apparent at first glance. https://rairfoundation.com/looming-digital-gulag-european-unions-terrifying-digital-id/

A gulag is a type of prison.

Related to plans for control and surveillance, we put together the following video:

World Economic Forum, CBDCs, and 666
Are there concerns about CBDCs (Central Bank Digitial Currencies)? The Summer meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) was held from June 27-29, 2023 in China. Did WEF speaker and Cornell University professor Eswar Prasad warn of CBDCs could “take us to a pretty dark place’? What did the European Commission say about the future of a digital euro and various protections the same week? Is the tweeted statement, “No one will be able to control how you use your euros” false in the long run according to biblical prophecies, such as Revelation 13:16-18? Is there a real ability to program a CBDC with an expiration date as well as restricting what it could be used to purchase? Has monitoring of purchase transactions been proposed by various European leaders? Does the EU already have a potential enforcement arm of ‘666’? Has the European Central Bank said that cash was “not fit for the digital economy’? Are we moving more towards a cashless world? Are things really changing towards that? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel discuss these and other matters.

Here is a link to our video: World Economic Forum, CBDCs, and 666.

Now the video title above mentioned the World Economic Forum (WEF). Notice someone’s view of what some associated with the WEF want to be able to do:

Rothschild Says WEF Will Soon Control What Users Purchase in New ‘Cashless Society’
December 10, 2023
The head of the Rothschild banking dynasty has ordered world governments to accelerate the implementation of cashless societies, and has boasted that WEF-controlled artificial intelligence (AI) will soon dictate what the public can and can’t do with their own money.
Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild says that WEF-controlled AI bots are essential for making the world a more equitable place.
The Rothschild family established the Council for Inclusive Capitalism (CIC) …
Despite the Council’s official title being “Council for Inclusive Capitalism,” it was actually inaugurated on December 8, 2020, under the name “Council for Inclusive Capitalism with The Vatican”.
The Council for Inclusive Capitalism with The Vatican (“the council”), a historic new partnership between some of the world’s largest investment and business leaders and the Vatican.
It signifies the urgency of joining moral and market imperatives to reform capitalism into a powerful force for the good of humanity. Under the moral guidance of His Holiness Pope Francis and His Eminence Cardinal Peter Turkson … and inspired by the moral imperative of all faiths, the council invites companies of all sizes to harness the potential of the private sector to build a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable economic foundation for the world.
Expose-news.com reports: According to CIC’s website, inclusive capitalism is “business that profitably works for the common good.” As we have mentioned in previous articles, the term “common good” is a collectivist ideology that is found in socialist, communist and fascist movements. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/rothschild-says-wef-will-soon-control-what-users-purchase-in-new-cashless-society/

That said, here is more on the European Union and a digital ID:

EU Approves Regulations Forcing Big Tech to Support ‘Digital ID’
December 11, 2023
The European Union (EU) has approved new regulations that will force Big Tech companies to include support for the new “Digital ID” system for the public.
The new EU Digital Identity Regulation (eIDAS 2) was approved by the EU Parliament’s Industry Committee. …
The new statute will introduce a digital identity app for public use.
The app will facilitate EU citizens’ “access to diverse digital services,” according to unelected Eurocrats. …
Integrated into the app is support for a coming Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and other documents such as vaccine passports.
Citizens will be required to hold a digital ID to make use of many of the services needed to participate in society. …
Lawmakers, IT security specialists, and scientists have recently criticized the EU’s push for the dystopian regulations.
Many have voiced their concerns about potential mass surveillance, which the EU claims is necessary for tackling so-called “disinformation.”
Nevertheless, the agreement was approved by the bloc’s top bureaucrats. https://slaynews.com/news/eu-approves-regulation-force-big-tech-support-digital-id/

Participating in society includes the ability to use a computer, communicate, buy goods, and travel, to name just a few.

The globalists want to be able to monitor who is buying or saying anything.

As far as travel goes, identification is required for airline travel now, but there is another surveillance proposal related to that:

A recent report by Intrepid Travel has suggested that climate change could impact global travel in the near future, due to increasing extreme weather patterns as well as potential ‘carbon passports’ … travel could be restricted by carbon passports …
One bleak prediction is that individuals could be allotted personal carbon allowances in line with the global carbon budget, set at 750 billion tonnes until 2050. These carbon allowances would take the form of carbon passports, capping the amount of trips individuals can make each year.
With carbon passports, travelers could be “forced to forgo the horizon-expanding experiences so readily embraced by today’s tourists,” Intrepid Travel said. … the worst-case scenario could restrict travelers to virtual vacations …
Berna said there’s another issue with the carbon-passport concept — not all emissions from traveling come from transportation.
“The next piece we have to solve is how we travel when we get to the location, how we’re spending your money, and where you’re staying,” he said. 10/10/23 https://businesstravelerusa.com/news/future-tourism-carbon-passports/

A “virtual vacation” would be one where you do not travel, but instead view some virtual reality program.

Furthermore, if there were to be carbon passports, that would likely be tied in with your purchases so you could be monitored by some official view of how much harm your purchases cause the environment.

So, yes, we are seeing steps for massive surveillance. Some proposed, and some in the process of being implemented.

The Bible warned about coming massive surveillance:

15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)

Yes, with digital IDs to go online, the supporters for the Beast power will be able to see if you are worshiping the Beast online or even being critical. As mentioned here numerous times, the ability to monitor buying and selling like the 666 prophecy foretells was not possible when Jesus had that Apostle John pen the Book of Revelation.

But not only does the technology exist now to do so, governments and globalist organizations are pushing for the implementation of tools that will help fulfill those prophecies.

The Bible teaches that the European Beast and his supporters will put in totalitarianism beyond what most believe is now possible (cf. Revelation 13).

He and his supporters will claim to help the climate, economy, etc., but that will not end up well (cf. Revelation 11:15; 18:1-20).

While many in the world seem to be impressed by what the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, WEF, Vatican, and the UN are seemingly trying to do, their end agenda is repeatedly warned against in the Bible (Revelation 13:1-18, 14:12, 18:4; Zechariah 2:6-7).

Notice a prophecy warning against such leaders:

12 … Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).
3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. (1 Thessalonians 5:3-4)

While promoting true peace and justice is great, the way that the globalists seem to be going about it is not good.

Do not fall for it as it will lead to destruction and a totalitarian society. It will also lead to the coming ‘famine of the word’ (cf. Amos 8:11-12).

Last year, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related what many groups are working towards:

14:31
Globalism Conspiracy or Convergence?
In May of 2022, the World Economic Forum held a conference where thousands of the world’s elites attended, essentially in support of a ‘great reset’ to change society. In June 2022, the Bilderberg Group met essentially to do the same thing. In June 2022, Pope Francis told a group invited by Cardinal Kurt Koch, “Unity does not come about by standing still.” Whereas the Roman Catholic group, whose co-president in Marc Stengel, called for more cooperation with the United Nations and apparently supporters of Gandhi. The World Council of Churches also supports the globalist agenda as do the Freemasons and others. Could Satan be the real conspirator behind this? Will humanity be able to bring about utopia? Or can true Christian unity and utopia only come about with the return of Jesus and the Kingdom of God? Will the globalist agenda succeed for a time? Dr. Thiel addresses these and other issues.

Here is a link to that video: Globalism Conspiracy or Convergence?

The ONLY real solution for the problems facing humanity is repentance, the return of Jesus, and the good news of the coming Kingdom of God.

Digital identification systems are not the answer.
