269.0. "UPC Symbols" by FAYE::AREY (Proofreader for a Skywriting Company) Thu Sep 16 1993 15:42

    A gentleman in my church read an interesting article about the
    Universal Product Code symbol.  He didn't believe it so he set about to
    research it as much as possible.
    
    The article stated that the man who originally wrote the program to
    read the barcode couldn't get it to work unless he placed a certain
    number at the beginning, middle and end of the barcodes.  The number?
    
    				     6
    
    My friend couldn't believe this, so he looked at a LOT of UPC barcodes
    and whaddyaknow?  Every one has the same two lil' bars at the
    beginning, middle and end!  He went to the library to find out what
    number that particular barcode was for and: sure'nuff, it was a SIX.
    
    So... EVERY UPC (World-Wide!) is encoded with 666.  Not every
    "barcode", UPC's are a special implementation of barcode technology.
    UPC's are only used on things which are "bought and sold"...
    
    Kinda raises the lil' hairs on the back of your neck doesn't it?!
    
    Don/
    
    p.s.  The article also stated that when the programmer realized how
          things had worked out, it scared him so bad he became a Christian.

    That would be a very interesting testimony to hear, getting saved that
    way and all.
    
    However, isn't there a difference biblically between 666 and
    six hundred and sixty six?

    No difference that I've ever heard of.

269.3prophesy is so....prophetic 8^)CSOA1::LEECHWild-eyed southern boyMon Sep 20 1993 11:4211
    So...when someone suggests that a bar-code be placed on your person,
    DONT' DO IT!  
    
    Actually, I've heard two different theories on the 'mark of the beast'. 
    One litterally refers to a tattoo, the other is a more symbolic
    approach that refers to 'thought' (and they will bear his mark on thier
    forhead) and 'deeds' (or hand) [to badly paraphrase the Bible].
    
    Interesting subject!

    There is a doomsday evangelist called Barry Smith from the South
    Pacific. He preaches topics on the mark of the beast, the Anit Christ
    and the one world government. In his usual presentation he will show many
    documentary events that actually point us to the works of the Anti
    Christ. There are tapes and videos you can order from his minstry.

269.7not too hard to download info into a 'world' data-base, eihterCSOA1::LEECHWild-eyed southern boyWed Sep 29 1993 11:209
    Do you think Hillary's ID card (if passed) will be related to this turn
    of events?  I realize that it will be just a national card, but how
    hard would it be to have it encompass more than health care, welfare,
    etc?  
    
    And gee, they could have a real problem with people loosing cards,
    which could lead to 'inventive' solutions...
