[Cronos]

Cards in short seem to fit the bill of “mark of the beast”, no?

In your hands, can’t buy or sell without them, namely mega-corporations

I think they're a step along the way but that we're not there yet.

However, I expect many of the systems already in place (like the card systems you mentioned) will help facilitate the final implementation.

The local grocery stores will become basically an extension of "The State" under the Beast and will refuse service to those without the Mark of the Beast - and will turn Tribulation Saints in (betrayed unto death) for refusing the Mark of the Beast. Covid-19 made an excellent dry-run controlling Buying and in some cases, Selling. Spooky in fact. AND world-wide, basically.

God bless.

Revelation 20:4 King James Version (KJV)

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
