What is the mark of the beast according to this teaching?
The mark is described as an 18-digit computer number—three sets of six digits. It is associated with an expanded universal product code, whose outside and center bars already have a value of six, and such digits could give every human being on earth a separate number.
Les explains that the mark is an 18-digit computer number, consisting of three sets of six numbers or six digits. He connects it to the universal product code, noting that the outside left, outside right, and center bars already have a value of six. In his view, all they have to do is expand that code by a couple more lines to get 18 digits, which is enough to give every human being a separate number. He also teaches that taking the mark removes any opportunity for salvation, because while the 144,000 Jews will proclaim salvation, anyone who has taken the mark is doomed the minute he takes it.
