Striking resemblance to ancient prophecy isn't it?

… And it makes sure that everyone, high and low, rich and poor, free and slave, receives a mark on the right hand or on the forehead and that no one can buy or sell without having the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of the name.  Wisdom is needed here. He who has understanding shall interpret the speech of the beast, for it is the speech of a man, and the number is 666. / Rev 13:16
