They arenât stopping with Real ID. Digital ID is already here.
Apple has announced Digital ID in the US and is offering the Beta version .
Itâs being promoted as safer, faster, and more convenient, but we have to look deeper at what it means when your identity moves from your wallet to a device you donât fully control.
When all of your personal information is stored inside one centralized system, it creates a new level of vulnerability.
If the system fails, glitches, or gets compromised, your access to everyday life can be disrupted.
Travel, purchases, identity verification are all suddenly dependent on whether the technology is functioning and who has access to your data.
And when digital identity starts linking with other systems, like health records or financial accounts, it raises bigger questions.
Who is watching?
Who decides what you can access?
You donât have to opt in.
You donât have to hand over more control of your life just because itâs marketed as âconvenience.â
They will make it appealing.
They will tell you itâs the future.
But you have the right to opt out.
Once your information lives in their database, you are no longer the only one in control.

Bill Maher drops a reality bomb on Zohram Mamdani voters with a brutal history lesson on socialism.
âWeâve run this experiment many times, and the results are always obvious,â Maher said.
He looked straight into the camera and delivered a blunt warning about Mamdani.
âDemocrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately, itâs the Republican Party.â
âHereâs capitalist South Korea at night from space,â Maher presented, showing a country lit up and thriving.
âHereâs socialist North Korea,â he followed, with the map pitch dark.
âYeah. In 1990, Venezuela was wealthier than Poland. But then Poland, finally free of Soviet style economics, went all in on capitalism and now their economy is as big as Japan and people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes.â
âMeanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavezâs socialism for the 21st century, which turned out to be like socialism in the last century or any century, a f*cking mess.â
âIt turned one of Latin Americaâs richest countries into one of its poorest. Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, 8 million people fleeing. If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel, youâre in for a rude awokening.â
@lsferguson Iâm not debating the question. But all of the visa or green card foreign nationals that I know make at least few hundred thousand dollars and rent/lease/own nice homes
We Are Quickly Approaching a 'Greater Exodus.'
Just as Israel wandered in the wilderness after being freed from Egypt, we are in a wilderness period now.
We've been delivered from the bondage of sin,
but we havenât yet entered the fullness of the Kingdom.
This is the season of testing, purification, and preparation.
The first Exodus was from Pharaohâs system.
The Greater Exodus is from Mystery Babylon,
the world system ruled by spiritual Egypt and Babylon.
The narrow path is the wilderness trail.
Few walk it. Most want the leeks and onions of Egypt.
But there is a Promised Land ahead.
The Millennial Kingdom is not simply symbolic,
itâs the destination.
Joshua is a foreshadowing of the salvation of Jesus.
The name Joshua in Hebrew is Yehoshua, meaning âYahweh saves.â In Greek, thatâs Iesous, Jesus.
This is very direct. Joshua is a type of Jesus.
Moses could lead the people out of Egypt,
but he couldnât bring them into the land.
Joshua is the one who leads Israel into the Promised Land.
Likewise, the Law (Moses) can convict us and guide us, but it cannot save us.
Only Jesus (Joshua) can bring us into the true inheritance, the Kingdom.
Even the walls of Jericho falling at the sound of the trumpet foreshadows the last trumpet when Christ returns and the kingdoms of this world collapse.
Canaan was a shadow.
The true fulfillment is Christ ruling from Zion during the Seventh Day, the 1,000-year reign (Revelation 20).
This is the Sabbath rest prophesied from the beginning.
6 days of labor, 1 day of rest.
6,000 years of human history,
then 1,000 years of Messiahâs reign.
Hebrews 4 speaks of a Sabbath rest for the people of God, itâs still future.
Just as Joshua brought them into rest temporarily,
Jesus will bring in the eternal Kingdom rest.
âAfter two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him.â â Hosea 6:2
A day is as a thousand years to the Lord (2 Peter 3:8). Hosea is pointing to something prophetic:
Two days = 2,000 years
Since Christâs resurrection,
weâve been in the "two days."
The third day is the Millennial Kingdom,
when He revives Israel and reigns before them.
We are right at the end of the second day.
God told Noah:
âMy Spirit shall not always strive with man, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.â â Genesis 6:3
Many interpret this not just as a lifespan limit,
but prophetically:
120 Jubilee cycles = 6,000 years
A Jubilee is every 50 years
120 x 50 = 6,000
The Jubilee is freedom, restoration, return of inheritance, everything the Kingdom of Christ fulfills.
We are at the cusp of the 120th Jubilee.
The final trumpet is about to sound.
âThe patience of God waited in the days of NoahâŠâ
â 1 Peter 3:20
Just as in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. â Matthew 24:37
Noah's 120 years was a time of warning,
building the ark.
Likewise, God has been patient for 120 Jubilee cycles, giving humanity a chance to repent before the flood of judgment and the reset of the world under the Messiah.
Jesus is the Son of Adam,
restoring what Adam lost.
He is the Son of David,
fulfilling the covenant to reign forever.
âThe Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David⊠and of His kingdom there shall be no end.â
â Luke 1:32-33
This is not just heavenly.
Itâs on Earth, from Jerusalem,
during the Millennial Kingdom.
âThey lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.â â Revelation 20:4
âThe meek shall inherit the earth.â â Matthew 5:5
âDo you not know that the saints will judge the world?â â 1 Corinthians 6:2
Those who follow Christ faithfully now are being prepared to rule.
This is why weâre being tested, refined, humbled.
The Kingdom Age is not the end,
itâs the seventh day, the final phase of this age.
After the seventh day comes the eighth day,
a new beginning.
In the Mosaic Law, male children were circumcised on the eighth day (Leviticus 12:3), a foreshadowing of:
Covenant renewal.
Spiritual circumcision of the heart.
The new creation.
After the 1,000-year reign comes the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21).
The Heavenly Jerusalem descends.
God dwells fully with man.
Creation is reborn.
The cycle is complete.
Day 1â2 (0â2000): Adam to Abraham
Day 3â4 (2000â4000): Abraham to Christ
Day 5â6 (4000â6000): Church Age / Gentile fullness
Day 7 (6000â7000): Christâs Kingdom / Sabbath rest
Day 8 (7000+): New Creation / Eternal State
Weâre standing at the very end of Day 6.
The trumpet is about to sound.
The walls of the worldâs Jericho are about to fall.
And the true Joshua will lead the faithful into their inheritance.
A big reason people are falling for the coming deception is because they have no idea how end-times prophecy actually works.
Theyâve been handed a Westernized gospel.
A Westernized Church.
And a Westernized view of the end.
But the Bible is not an American book.
Itâs not centered on D.C., Rome, or Hollywood.
Itâs centered on Jerusalem.
The same city our Lord was crucified in.
âAnd their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.â (Revelation 11:8)
And if you donât understand that,
Youâre going to miss whatâs coming.
Because Revelation doesnât warn about a globalist takeover of Wall Street.
It warns about the Gentile trampling of Jerusalem:
âAnd they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.â (Revelation 11:2)
âJerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.â (Luke 21:24)
It warns about the nations gathering against that city:
âI will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.â (Zechariah 14:2)
It warns about the Beast proclaiming a false kingdom from there:
âAnd he was given authority to act for forty-two months⊠and to make war against the saints and conquer them.â (Revelation 13:5â7)
And it tells us Jesus will return to Jerusalem and fight back:
âThen the Lord will go out and fight against those nations⊠On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of JerusalemâŠâ (Zechariah 14:3â4)
âFrom Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.â (Isaiah 2:3)
Thatâs the storyline.
Thatâs the real battle.
Thatâs the real location.
And most people have no clue itâs even in the Bible.
Theyâre too focused on Washington.
Too consumed with âelites.â
Too obsessed with their own nations and narratives.
But prophecy is clear:
The nations will invade Jerusalem (Zech. 14:2).
They will trample the holy city (Rev. 11:2).
They will kill and pillage, and set up a counterfeit kingdom (Rev. 13:7).
And when Christ returns to reign from Zion in fulfillment of the Davidic covenant (2 Samuel 7:12â13, Luke 1:32),
they will fight against Him.
âThey will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them.â (Revelation 17:14)
And He will destroy them.
Thatâs whatâs coming.
And if youâre not grounded in the actual story the Bible tells,
youâre going to end up on the wrong side of it.
Yale Study Quietly Confirms COVID Vaccine Nightmare
They told you the shot would stay in your arm. That was a lie.
They said the spike protein would degrade quickly. That was a lie.
Yale researchers tracked vax-injured patients over timeâand they were shocked to learn that some individuals were still producing spike protein 709 days after vaccination.
Thatâs almost two years!
But that wasnât all they found. This study should alarm every vaccinated person.

NEW: Rob Schneider publicly DARES Dr. Fauci and Rochelle Walensky to take all 72 childhood vaccine doses on stageâif they really believe theyâre safe.
âIâd like to see you show up and get the whole [schedule] if you think itâs so safe,â he said.
âGet the whole recommended childhood schedule and do it right there on stage, do all the [72] doses right now, and see how safe it is.â
Schneider blasted the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which gave vaccine makers immunity from lawsuits, and admitted vaccines are âunavoidably unsafe.â
âThey just ramped up the schedule so for three shots when I was a kid. Now we have [72] different doses,â Schneider lamented.
âThereâs NEVER been a safety study of the entire vaccine schedule,â he added.
Paul said, âI die daily.â (1 Corinthians 15:31)
He understood that following Christ means putting sin to death every single day.
This is why the Christian life is a battle.
We still carry our fallen nature, even though we are redeemed.
But one day, that fallen nature will be gone forever.
When Jesus returns, our salvation will be complete.
We will receive glorified bodies, free from sin, sickness, and death.
We will be like Christ, for we will see Him as He is.
âBeloved, we are Godâs children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.â (1 John 3:2)
This is what true salvation looks like.
Itâs not just a moment in the past, itâs a promise in the future.
Most Christians think salvation is a past event.
But the Bible actually presents salvation as a process, one that unfolds over time and is only completed in the future.
Scripture speaks of salvation as past, present, and future.
We have been saved (Ephesians 2:8).
We are being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18).
We will be saved (Romans 5:9-10).
Justification happens the moment we put our faith in Christ.
âSince we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.â (Romans 5:1)
It is a legal declaration where we are counted as righteous before God.
Sanctification is the ongoing process of being conformed to Christ.
âFor this is the will of God, your sanctificationâŠâ (1 Thessalonians 4:3)
It involves dying to sin, resisting the flesh, and growing in holiness.
Glorification is the final stage when we receive resurrected, immortal bodies.
âWe await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body.â (Philippians 3:20-21)
Itâs at the completion of our salvation, when sin and death are permanently removed.
This is why Paul says, âOur salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.â (Romans 13:11)
If salvation was only a past event, Paul wouldnât say we are still waiting for it.
The ultimate fulfillment of salvation comes at the resurrection of the dead.
Jesusâ resurrection was a model for what will happen to us.
âBut Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.â (1 Corinthians 15:20)
He is the âfirstfruitsâ of the resurrection, meaning He was the first of many to come.
Just as He was raised in glory, so will we.
Until that day, we live in the tension of being saved yet still awaiting salvation.
This is why Paul speaks of believers groaning as we wait for the redemption of our bodies (Romans 8:23).
Right now, we still wrestle with sin.
âThe spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.â (Matthew 26:41)
We still experience suffering.
âThrough many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.â (Acts 14:22)
We still live in bodies that decay and die.
âThough our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.â (2 Corinthians 4:16)
But when Jesus returns, that will all change.
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
âI tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.â (1 Corinthians 15:50)
Thatâs why we must be transformed.
At the last trumpet, the dead in Christ will rise, and those who are alive will be changed.
âBehold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.â (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
This is when salvation reaches its full completion.
This is what every believer should be longing for.
Yet most Christians today misunderstand this.
They think salvation is only about the past, what happened the moment they prayed a prayer.
They donât realize that salvation is conditional upon perseverance.
Jesus said, âThe one who endures to the end will be saved.â (Matthew 24:13)
The book of Hebrews warns that we share in Christ only if we hold firm to the end. (Hebrews 3:14)
Salvation is not about how you start, itâs about how you finish.
Thatâs why Paul compares it to a race.
âDo you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.â (1 Corinthians 9:24)
No one wins a race by starting strong and quitting halfway through.
We are being saved right now through the process of sanctification.
Sanctification is the daily dying to self.
âIf by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.â (Romans 8:13)
It is the crucifixion of the flesh.
âThose who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.â (Galatians 5:24)

Zuckerbergâs interview was going exceptionally wellâhe was hitting all the right notes, earning nods of approval from Rogan where it counted most.
But the momentum came to a screeching halt when Zuckerberg made a COVID censorship claim that struck a nerve with @JoeRogan.
While Zuckerberg acknowledged he didnât agree with the Biden administrationâs harsh tactics to push vaccination, he argued that censoring voices and concerns about vaccine safety was done for the purpose of a greater goodâsuggesting it was free from âpersonal political gain.â
Rogan, armed with a deep understanding of what actually transpired during COVID, quickly set the record straight and exposed the glaring flaws in Zuckerbergâs claim.
âI still think itâs good for more people to get the vaccine,â Zuckerberg said. âIâm not sure in that case how much of it [censorship] was like a personal political gain that they were going for. I think that they had a kind of goal that they thought was in the interests of the country. And the way they went about it, I think, violated the law.â
âWell, thereâs a bunch of problems with that,â Rogan retorted before laying out a quick history of the incentives behind censoring speech about vaccine safety.
âThereâs the emergency use authorization that they needed in order to get this pushed through. And you canât have that without valid therapeutics being available. And so they suppressed valid therapeutics. So theyâre suppressing real information that would lead to people being healthy and successful in defeating this disease.
âAnd they did that so that they could have this one solution. And this was Fauciâs game plan. I mean, this is the movie Dallas Buyers Club. Thatâs Fauci in that movie. That was with the AIDS crisis. This is the exact same game plan that was played out with the COVID vaccine.
âThey pushed one solution, this only one, suppressed all therapeutics through propaganda, through suppressing monoclonal antibodies, like all of it. And that was done, in my opinion, for profit. And they did that because it was extremely profitable. The amount of money that was made was extraordinary during that time,â Rogan explained.
