Description

INTRODUCTION (1) Around Christmas of 1992 I paid a return visit to my field site in Telefolmin, Papua New Guinea. While there I had an intriguing conversation with Wesani Iwoksim, a Telefol friend who was the former Member in the national parliament and a pastor in the local Baptist church. After a somewhat puzzling discussion of the Gulf War and George Bush Sr.'s talk of a new world order, he began to tell me of various prophecies that had come to his attention. These were avowedly apocalyptic and had a lot to do with the Last Days and Triple-Six (666)--the Mark of the Beast. What particularly caught my eye was his description of how bank cards (or credit cards) and UPCs (universal product codes--the computer-readable bar codes on the labels of various goods) were precursors of marks that would be tattooed on the arms or foreheads of people who would then go into stores and secure goods by displaying these tattoos. These marks were associated with Satan, though it wasn't clear from his account just how this worked: sometimes he talked as though they indicated that one belonged to Satan, but at other times he suggested that those who bore these tattoos would be recognized by Jesus when he came back to earth, and be allowed to board an aircraft that would take them to heaven.
