All the more baffling why some countries are moving away from national identification and other digital signing initiatives to prove identity. E.g. the UK that introduced and then subsequently dismantled a national ID card and database (apparently it was a "privacy" issue for the government to have a record of citizens?). Imagine this, a first world country, living in the dark ages essentially when it comes to identity.
>These ID cards are, however, preparing the way. The more people get used to some new government regulation, restriction, or provision, the more they tolerate it and eventually just learn to live with it. What may at first seem unthinkable and raise howls of protest, later becomes accepted by a few, then many, then most. And that’s how the Antichrist and his agents will capitalize on these compulsory ID cards to prepare the world for what’s next.
Dominionism is not a clearly defined practice/group/sect/etc. The most inclusive definition is basically just "people with strong beliefs want to run the democracy they live in according to those beliefs", which doesn't seem like a surprising way for anyone to behave.
Yet, take even the most expansive and uncharitable definition, and still "dominionism" =/= "the end times are at hand and there are signs everywhere of the coming anti-christ, such as national ID cards".
If you support national ID systems, please do your part to advocate for such systems whenever possible (as well as the necessary privacy and oversight controls). Progress is a function of effort. I'm working on the US side.

That's because there's a 95% chance they'll sell it to the likes of Equifax and Experian - what minister could resist the temptation to 'make the system pay for itself' while 'reducing fraud' and 'working with the private sector' - and a 100% chance one of them will then lose it in a breach.
Just for what it's worth, a big part of the backlash against the national ID is that firstly we have a couple of decent proxies, for example driving licence and passport, and secondly we were being asked to pay for the privilege.
