Les Feldick Bible Study

Are the outside bars and the middle bar of the product barcode equal to six?

Yes. The outside left-hand bar, the outside right-hand bar, and the very middle bar of the universal product code each carry a value of six. The transcript presents this as evidence that the mark of the beast could involve an 18-digit computer number.

Yes. Les explains that the universal product code—the little bars and lines on products in supermarkets—has outside bars and a very middle bar with a value of six. He notes the other numbers may vary, but the unmarked outside left-hand and right-hand bars and the center one have a value of six. He connects this to the mark of the beast, saying all they would need to do is expand the UPC by a couple more lines to get 18 digits, enough to give every human being a separate number.
