Sam Altman is opening six flagship ‘World ID’ U.S. retail locations where people can sign up to have their eyeball scanned with ORB: Austin, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Nashville, Miami and San Francisco.

Here’s how it works: You go up to an Orb, a spherical biometric device, and it spends about 30 seconds scanning your face and iris, then creates and stores a unique “IrisCode” for you verifying that you’re a human and that you’ve never signed up before. Then you get some of the project’s cryptocurrency, WLD, for free, and you can use your World ID as a sign-in with integrated platforms, which currently include an open API integration with Minecraft, Reddit, Telegram, Shopify and Discord. Habakkuk to the Courtesy Counter, Habakkuk to the Courtesy Counter please, your prophecy is now ready. And that’s the memo.

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we are going to go into the NTEB vault and pull up some articles published over the past few years, stories you’ve likely forgotten about, to show you how the plan to give the entire world a digital global ID tied to crypto is not only surviving but thriving. Many of those articles are linked below in the Study Helps section, you should go and read them. Today is Day 1,873 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and the world is not only embracing AI technology, they are demanding it. On this episode, we show you just how close we are to the human implantable digital device the Bible calls the Mark of the Beast. Coming soon to a mall near you.

• “Jesus. I am now 64 years old and never in all the years I’ve been a Christian was I able to grow in the Lord as much as I have in the last past year. All because of our blessed brother’s work Geoffrey Grider who as the bravery of standing fast forward without fear of claiming the truth of God by the power of his love in Jesus Christ. May God bless you abundantly to the end my dear brother… ROMANS: 8: 36,37,38” Mireille Anderson
• “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced

• I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio.  You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
• “Thank you for the work  you are doing brother.  Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time.  Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord.  God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation.  How can we praise Him enough?  How can we not share this good news!?  I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to.  Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa

As Israel heads into Independence Day, the smell of fire and the thick grey smoke give a sense of unease, with multiple sources alleging Hamas terrorism and fear of major damage to the Armored Corps museum in Latrun, a significant memorial site

As you read this, reports of rain falling from the sky have started coming in over the last hour, helping firefighters to begin to put out what was most assuredly the biggest fire in the modern day history of Israel. But don’t let that fact prevent you from wrapping your head around the fact that the blazes were arson, started by Hamas, and set on the Israeli Independence Day celebrations. Timing is everything, and that’s the memo.

“Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.” Psalm 68:9 (KJB)

There are many ways to wage a war, and using a military with guns and tanks is only one of them. The terrorist events that took place on October 7th, 2023, were basically planned and carried out by an aggressor, Hamas, who is many times smaller and quite inferior to the combined might of the IAF and the IDF. Yet with the element of surprise and some rudimentary planning, Hamas scored a win for the record books. I have no doubt that Hamas set these fires to show the Jews that, even on their Independence Day, Israel will not be free from their grip.

Israel Ablaze in National Emergency Believed To Be Terrorist Act

FROM THEMEDIALINE: A massive wildfire broke out on Wednesday in Israel in the forests between Eshtaol and Latrun, west of Jerusalem, forcing evacuations and road closures as thousands gathered across the Jewish state for Memorial Day observances. Fanned by high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds, the fire, believed to have been set intentionally, spread rapidly through multiple locations across Israel.

“It’s a terror attack on Israel,” Eli Beer, president of the United Hatzalah emergency response organization, told The Media Line. He noted that fires were started in 20 separate locations. A security source also confirmed to The Media Line that a terrorist act was likely behind the fires, adding that several people had been arrested.

A map circulating in Israeli security circles depicts the locations of the fires, almost all of which are marked on the Israeli side of the Green Line separating the West Bank from Israel and Gaza—not in the areas inhabited by Palestinians. Hamas posted on social media a call for Palestinians in the West Bank and Israel to “burn whatever you can of groves, forests, and settler homes” and “set their cars ablaze.”

Several individuals from East Jerusalem have been arrested by Israeli police on suspicion of attempting to ignite fires in the area, including a man in his 50s from Umm Tuba who was arrested after allegedly trying to set fire to an open field in southern Jerusalem. When confronted by police, the suspect attempted to flee but was apprehended after a brief chase. Authorities found a lighter, cotton, and other incendiary materials in his possession.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Transportation Minister Israel Katz described the situation as a national emergency. On social media, Likud lawmaker Dan Illouz called for “an immediate closure of Judea and Samaria and an iron-fisted response” to the fires.

“We don’t wait for an attack—we thwart it,” he wrote. “We have learned the lesson, from both old and new history.”

In an interview with The Media Line, Chaim Rafalowski, disaster management and EU projects coordinator for Magen David Adom emergency services, described the situation as “very serious.” “We’re hoping that the National Fire Service will manage to get things under control so it doesn’t escalate into a full-blown disaster,” he said.

Authorities shut down major arteries including Highway 1, the main road connecting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and Highway 3. Drivers abandoned their cars and fled on foot as smoke engulfed the roads. “People found themselves in immediate danger as fires approached their vehicles,” Rafalowski said. Beer described the sight of abandoned cars as reminiscent of scenes from the October 7, 2023, attacks. READ MORE
