“The Real ID Act of 2005 is an Act of Congress that establishes requirements that driver’s licenses and identification cards issued by U.S. states and territories must satisfy to be accepted for accessing federal government facilities, nuclear power plants, and for boarding airline flights in the United States.” After today, May 7, 2025 the driver’s license you already have in your pocket might not allow you through airport security — at least not without delays and extra identity checks.
Starting today, May 7, every person 18 or older boarding a domestic flight will now need to present identification that meets federal REAL ID standards: a REAL ID driver’s license or state identification card, a passport or another federally approved document.
Twenty years ago — before the first iPhone went on sale — Congress passed the Real ID Act of 2005, establishing national standards for driver’s licenses and identification cards provided by individual states. At the time, the United States was still in shock from the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, lawmakers behind this bill argued that REAL ID standards would help prevent future such attacks by making it harder for terrorists to travel. How does this relate to the biblical ‘Mark of the Beast’ spoken of in the Book of Revelation? Watch the video!
When Congress originally passed the Real ID Act, the enforcement date was set three years into the future — 2008. However, due to complicated legal battles between the federal government and the states over this law — along with the COVID-19 pandemic — DHS kept pushing back the deadline, resulting in a 17-year delay.

AP News – Real ID NEW YORK — The deadline to get a REAL ID is fast approaching after years of postponements and delays. Starting Wednesday, May 7, 2025, your driver’s license or identification card will need to be REAL ID-compliant to fly domestically in the U.S.

Three End Time Prophecies in The Book of Revelation
Signs of the End
“So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things are fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that Day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels of Heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Adam be… Therefore, you also be ready: for in such an hour as you’re not thinking of, the Son of Adam comes.” Jesus – Matthew 24:42-44, Genesis 6
The Hour has Come!
(Prophecy #1) “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of Heaven, having the Everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, ‘Reverence God and give Glory to Him; for the Hour of His Judgment is come: and worship Him that made Heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” Revelation 14:6-7
“Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My Holy Mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the Day of the LORD comes, for it is near at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it…” Joel 2:1-2
Babylon is Fallen!
(Prophecy #2) And there followed another angel, saying, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication/idolatry.” Revelation 14:8
And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, ‘Come out of her, My people, and don’t you be partakers of her sins that you don’t receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto Heaven and God has remembered her iniquities… Therefore, her plagues shall come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the LORD God who judges her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously/luxuriously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in One Hour is your Judgment come.’ And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more:” Revelation 18:4-11
“Flee out of the midst of Babylon and deliver every man his soul: don’t be cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; He will render unto her a recompense. Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore, the nations are mad. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: …Forsake her and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reaches unto Heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. The LORD has brought forth our Righteousness: come and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.” Jeremiah 51:6-10
Mystery Babylon, Mother of Harlots
April 21, 2025 – The first Italian/Latin American pontiff in the history of the Roman Catholic Church, has died, the Vatican says. His death on Easter Monday came shortly after a bout of double pneumonia that kept him hospitalized for five weeks. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday wrote that he “joined the world in mourning the passing of ‘His Holiness Pope Francis.’ …President Trump called the late pontiff “a good man who loved the world”.
“…don’t you know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” James 4:4
“Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away and the lust thereof, but he that does the Will of God abides forever.” 1 John 2:15-17
“…all their works they do for to be seen of men… And call no man your ‘father’ upon the earth: for one is your Father which is in Heaven.” Jesus, Matthew 23:5-9
The Mark of the Beast
Prophecy #3 “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If any man worships/is obedient to the beast and his image and receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the Wrath of God, which is poured out without mixer (straight up!) into the cup of His Indignation; …and they have NO rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image and whosoever receives the mark of his name.”
Revelation 14:9-11
“And he does great wonders… And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast …And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count/compute the number of the beast: for it is the number of man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).”
Revelation 13:13-18
Mark, Strong’s Number #5480 charagma, a stamp (as a badge of servitude), an imprinted mark, the mark branded on horses (of ownership), thing carved or graven, encoded embossment
“No one can serve/obey two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon/$/riches/wealth.”
Matthew 6:24
“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some covet after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after Righteousness, Godliness, Faith, Love, Patience, Meekness.”
1 Timothy 6:9-11
“And God spoke all these words, saying, I am the LORD your God, which has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness/image of any thing that is in Heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them – keep My Commandments.”
Exodus 20:1-6
“Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the Judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers gives you. You shall not add unto the Word which I command you neither shall you diminish anything from it, that you may keep the Commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.”
Deuteronomy 4:1-2
Commandments have been Changed
The Roman Catholic Church completely removed the 2nd commandment, “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images”, and separated the 10th commandment, “Thou shall not covet”, into two separate commandments to make up for the 2nd commandment they deleted.”
Οn March 7, 321 AD, Roman Emperor Constantine I issued a civil decree making Sunday a day of rest from labor, stating: All judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable Day of the Sun.
Constantine I who reigned as Roman Emperor from 306 to 337 AD, continued to hold the title of Pontifex Maximus after his conversion to Christianity. This title, meaning “greatest priest,” was traditionally held by Roman emperors as the head of the Roman state religion. Even though he became a Christian, Constantine retained this pagan title.
Sun Worship, veneration of the Sun or a representation of the Sun as a deity.
Consequences of Changing the Commandments
“Because you have not served the LORD your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; Therefore you shall serve your enemies which the LORD shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon your neck, until He has destroyed you.”
Deuteronomy 28:47-48
“And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute/defile the Sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate. And such as do wickedly against the Covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits/execute Judgment.”
Daniel 11:31-32
“And the king/leader shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things concerning the God of gods and shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall he honor the god of forces/arms: and a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.”
Daniel 11:36-45
Jesus said, “And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then the end shall come. When you therefore shall see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads, let him understand:)”
Matthew 24:11-15
“But you pray that your flight [to understanding] is not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath Day: For then shall be Great Tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should are shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the Elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”
Matt 24:20-22
“And the Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come’. And let him that hears say, ‘Come’. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

He which testifies these things saith, ‘Surely I come quickly’. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”
