People concerned about the rise of the Biblical Antichrist have worried over an almost endless number of leaders and developments. Author Robert Fuller says they include:
Ronald Reagan: His three names each have six letters, producing ''the mark of the beast'' Ÿ 666. He also recovered from an assassination attempt, and the Antichrist is supposed to appear dead in a parody of Jesus' resurrection.
Susan B. Anthony dollar: Some felt this coin, bearing the image of an atheist feminist, was a plot to destabilize the economy and allow the Antichrist to move in.
Bar codes: These computer-readable codes on packages have been called an attempt to computerize the nation and its citizens, paving the way for a one-world economy controlled by the Antichrist. Numbers in the codes sometimes contain the digits 666, feeding the fears.
ZIP codes: When the Postal Service started using nine-digit ZIP codes, some people linked them to the nine-digit Social Security numbers to get 18 digits - three sixes.
