- As to UPC bar codes, I am not myself a believer in end-time biblical
- prophecy. However, a number of otherwise intelligent people accept
- the book of Revelations as an accurate and God-inspired statement of
- our coming history. It is a document obviously written in symbols,
- with a great deal of latitude as to how those symbols are to be
- understood. The "Mark of the Beast" is usually taken to have a numerical
- significance, and to be associated with the privelege of participating
- in a totally controlled economic marketplace. If one accepts the
- original premise of Revalation's validity for our time, then it
- does not seem too unreasonable a stretch to consider UPC codes an
- aspect of the "Mark of the Beast" symbolism.
