FINAL WARNING: The Curtain Falls
computer’s effectiveness in reading the symbol omni-directionally. It is
the second most commonly used UPC design. Mary Stewart Relfe
believed that the intention of this alternate design was to insure that
the general public would not crack the UPC code. It actually represents
half of the regular symbol. The design incorporates bar codes from the
first and second sets, and from a third set created from the second set.
There is an extended version of the main design (Design #3) for use on
magazines and books. While the main portion of the design will only
use bar codes from the first and second sets; the extended area on the
right side of the symbol will use bar codes from all three sets.
Going back to Revelation 13:17, it says: “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.” Incredibly, as you have seen, through the use of
the UPC system of encoding products, we are actually buying and
selling with the number 666. The left and right-hand guides, and center
bar patterns in Design #1, is designated by the following binary codes:
left-hand guide: 101
center bar pattern: 01010
right-hand guide: 101
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,
