Not quite! It will be after the Antichrist comes to power that his false prophet will make people take the beast's mark. That said, I don't doubt that a national ID could possibly set up the stage for the day when the mark of the beast is required. But, for now, there's nothing anti Christian in a national ID.
I agree. This program certainly won't meet the criteria, but it could EASILY be an early step in a program that paves the way for the real thing.
