Social Security Number May Be Mark Of The Beast But That Will Not Save Your Job

Donald J. Yeager disavowed his social security number when he turned 18.  As a “Fundamentalist Christian”, he believes that being identified by any number, including, if not especially, a social security number, is having the “Mark of the Beast”.  The “Mark of the Beast” concept comes from Revelation Chapter 13.  The idea is that the Antichrist is going to require the Mark in order for you to “buy or sell” making getting the mark a smart business move in the short run, but in the long run it is not such a good idea, because of what one of the angels is going to do: And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, The notion that you social security number is the Mark of the Beast, while hardly mainstream, does have a good bit of support.  Somebody has even created an index of resources on the topic.
