“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 hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

Revelation 13:17-18.

Am I the only one that sees the funny side of this. The guy who invented UPC bar codes, (George Joseph Laurer), the one thing you need these days to buy and sell items, decides to create a code where a double bar || represents 6.  Then he decides to use put 3 delimiting guard bars || within all barcodes.  Talk about making it obvious.

Don’t believe me? Try it yourself, put 11 or 12 6′s into the UPC-A bar-code widget below.

 

Most people out there brought up in a religious environment would have knowledge of Revelation 13, in fact anyone who has seen the film ‘The Omen’ will be aware of this particular passage, it says that nobody will be able to buy or sell anything unless they have the mark of the beast, 666 (six hundred three score and six according to the King James Version of the Bible).

Now I am no expert in Arabic or Greek but maybe they meant nobody could buy or sell unless the product had the mark??? Whether it did or not is irrelevant, the fact is that the guy who created the bar-code system, the system through which the world buys and sells everything, put an obvious 666 into it. It’s hysterical and something that an engineer with a devious sense of humour might do.

So was this just a practical joke and thus self-fulfilling prophesy, a subconscious act, a definite act by a Satan proponent or simply fate?

This is what the inventor had to say on the matter (from http://www.laurerupc.com/):

“Answer- Yes, they do RESEMBLE the code for a six… There is nothing sinister about this nor does it have anything to do with the Bible’s “mark of the beast” (The New Testament, The Revelation, Chapter 13, paragraph 18). It is simply a coincidence like the fact that my first, middle, and last name all have 6 letters. There is no connection with an international money code either.”

Indeed!

I’ll let you decide, comments as always are welcome!

    We’re told “no-one will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast”. That surely indicates that “the mark” a.k.a. 666 will be something relating to TRADE – buying – selling….

    What else could it be? Certainly not some tattoo..

    Why not, it’s a big universe. It’s very possible, if Jesus’ existed, that he was sent here from the heavens by people from the stars.

    Remember at the end of the bible he ascended back into heaven behind a cloud. If you go straight up from the Earth’s surface, where do you end up?

    That’s right SPACE!
