One more - already happening in China - December of 2023
This is ALREADY HAPPENING (December, 2023) - I say it will come to much of the world - BEFORE the Mark of the Beast - COVID-19(84)-style tyranny will make it difficult to even buy food
This woman had a gift card - it would not even let her use her GIFT CARD without FACIAL RECOGNITION
The Mark of the Beast WILL happen.
Very few understand what is coming to this planet.
Probably including this poor woman - who has already experienced the tyranny (in China)
This is December, 2023 - This (and far, far worse) will come to the whole world
China...No Digital ID...Can’t buy food!
