Just to verify, when you consider the number 6 when used as a Data Character, as in the
second set, the number 6 is encoded as 1010000. In other words, the only visible modules of the
number 6, is the designation of 101, which is used in the left and right-hand guides, and the
center bar pattern. Since the Data Characters use a seven module encodation, and the two guides
and center pattern consist of three and five modules, it is obvious that the two numerical
encodations are different. While the numbers at the middle of the UPC symbol represent the
Manufacturer Code, and the Manufacturer Product Code; the numbers encoded in the two guide
bars and center bar pattern, represent the number “666.” This “666” code can be found in every
UPC symbol. In Design #2, which is half of Design #1, it incorporates a third bar code for the
number six, which is represented by half of the center bar pattern, or a module pattern of 010.
The number 6 is a prominent part of the UPC, symbol. In Design #1, there are six numbers
on the left side, and six numbers on the right side. There are six numbers in Design #2. There are
six different variations of the UPC symbol. Six is the perfect computer number, a fact, which,
according to the Wall Street Journal (November 11, 1981), led Apple Computer, Inc. to
introduce their Apple I units at a price of $666.66.
Richard J. Mindlin, Executive Vice-President of the Uniform Product Code Council had said:
“There are no unidentified characters in the symbol, as each encodation serves either as data
characters or for information to indicate to the scanner to start or stop reading. These start and
stop characters are not the same as the encodation for the digit ‘6’.”
George J. Laurer, who invented the UPC in 1973 has said: “There is nothing sinister about
this nor does it have anything to do with the Bible’s ‘mark of the beast.’ It is simply a
coincidence like the fact that my first, middle, and last name all have six letters. There is no
connection with an international money code either.” As of November 2000, Mr. Laurer has
stopped responding to questions about this.
I can understand his contention that he is being accused of creating something that is
inherently evil. We have been quick to attach a negative connotation to it, but the fact of the
matter is, Bible prophecy has been fulfilled, we are buying and selling with the number 666. That
is undeniable. The Apostle John made a prophetic observation– he gave us a sign to look for. So,
regardless of all the mechanics of how we got there, we are there.
Those stores who already have electronic fund transfer (EFT) capabilities, and are accepting
debit cards, are pulling funds directly from a customer’s checking account, and transferring it to
the store’s account at the bank. At this point, it is not known if the system can accept an
international debit card, however it is reasonably safe to assume that the system was created to
accommodate the final step, or the ‘mark of the beast.’ Besides the warning in Revelation 14:10
not to take this Mark; the Law of Moses in Leviticus 19:28 said: “Ye shall not ... print any marks
upon you...” Revelation 16:2 indicates that those who take the Mark will be stricken with a
“grievous sore.”
Sen. Frank Church said in August, 1975, that “the government has the technological capacity
to impose ‘total tyranny’ if ever a dictator came to power. There would be no place to hide.” The
Antichrist will be that dictator. With the potential of money and debit cards being lost or stolen,
the idea of a number being applied with a laser to your skin may also be going by the wayside
because of it being exposed to external conditions. It seems as though VeriChip technology
being tested now will be the means through which people will be made part of the ‘beast
system.’ The purpose of the Mark is to make a person totally dependent upon the government,
and to serve as a surveillance tool. When Revelation 14:17 says that you won’t be able to “buy or
sell” without the “mark,” this is an obvious financial connection. When the economic
