[Biblemat] Interesting thing happened to me today.

Brother Philip,

This is taught by the Seventh Day Adventists was taught by Herbert 
Armstrong and is probably taught by other Sabbatarians as well. Do a 
google search with the phrase "mark of the beast" in quotation marks and 
with the keyword "sunday" and you will find a number of websites where 
this is taught.
