2. Overview
• The Mark of God:
– On the Forehead
– On the Right Side
– His Name
• The Mark of the Beast
3. On the Forehead of the High Priest:
• Exodus 28:36-38 “You shall make a plate of
pure gold and engrave on it, like the
engraving of a signet, ‘Holiness unto YHVH.’
And you shall fasten it on the turban by a cord
of blue. It shall be on the front of the turban.
It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron
shall bear any guilt from the holy things that
the people of Israel consecrate as their holy
gifts. It shall regularly be on his forehead,
that they may be accepted before YHVH.
4. On the Forehead of the High Priest (2):
• Leviticus 8:9;12 And he set the turban on his
head, and on the turban, in front, he set the
golden plate, the holy crown, as YHVH
commanded Moses…And he poured some of
the anointing oil on Aaron's head and
anointed him to consecrate him.

6. On the Right Side:
the Ordination of Aaron and his Sons:
• Leviticus 8:23-24 Moses slaughtered the ram
and took some of its blood and put it on the
lobe of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his
right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
Moses also brought Aaron’s sons forward and
put some of the blood on the lobes of their
right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands
and on the big toes of their right feet. Then
he splashed blood against the sides of the
altar.
7. On the Right Side:
Cleansing from Skin Disease
• Leviticus 14:17-18 The priest is to put some of
the oil remaining in his palm on the lobe of
the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on
the thumb of their right hand and on the big
toe of their right foot, on top of the blood of
the guilt offering. The rest of the oil in his
palm the priest shall put on the head of the
one to be cleansed and make atonement for
them before YHVH.
8. The Mark of God in Ezekiel:
• Ezekiel 9:3-6 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone
up from the cherub on which it rested to the threshold of
the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who
had the writing case at his waist. And YHVH said to him,
“Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark
on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all
the abominations that are committed in it.” And to the
others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after
him, and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall
show no pity. Kill old men outright, young men and
maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on
whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary.” So they
began with the elders who were before the house.
9. The Mark of God in Revelation:
• Revelation 7:2-8 Then I saw another angel ascending from the
rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with
a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm
earth and sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the
trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their
foreheads.” And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed
from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 12,000 from the tribe of
Judah were sealed, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from
the tribe of Gad, 12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the
tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000 from
the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12,000 from the
tribe of Issachar, 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulon, 12,000 from the
tribe of Joseph, 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.
10. The Mark of God in Revelation (2):
• Revelation 14:1 Then I looked, and behold, on
Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him
144,000 who had his name and his Father's
name written on their foreheads.
• Revelation 22:3-4 No longer will there be
anything accursed, but the throne of God and of
the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will
worship him. They will see his face, and his name
will be on their foreheads.
13. The Mark of the Beast:
• Revelation 13:16-18 “Also it causes all, both small and great,
both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the
right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell
unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the
number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who
has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is
the number of a man, and his number is 666.”
14. Fulfillment in Islam:
• The mark is the number 666 in Greek: Chi Xi Stigma
Codex Vaticanus AD 350
15. Fulfillment in Islam (2):
• Let’s compare the Xi Chi Sigma to Arabic words:
The bismillah: “In the name of Allah”
16. Fulfillment in Islam (3):
• In Islamic logos and banners, the symbols are often flipped, or
tilted sideways:
17. Fulfillment in Islam (4):
• The bismillah and crossed swords are used universally
throughout the Muslim world to signify Islam.
18. Fulfillment in Islam (5):
• The Greek word for “mark” used in Revelation 13 is χάραγμα
(charagma) it denotes something that is worn like a badge.
• Also the phrase “right hand” in the same verse derives from
the Greek δεξιός (dexios), which can be translated as “the
right side”, or “the right arm”.
19. Why would Muslims want the Mark?
• “The task of the Beast is to distinguish the believers
(Muslims) from the non-believers, with Prophet Moses
staff it will draw a line on the forehead of every
believer (Muslim) whereby his face will become
bright and luminous and with the ring of Solomon it
will seal the nose of every non-believer whereby his
whole face will become black. Thus there will be
complete distinction between the Muslim and the
non-Muslim, so that if many parties sit at a diner table,
the Muslim and non-Muslim will be distinguished
(Hadith reported by “Abdullah-b-Umar”, Sahih
Muslim).
20. Why would Muslims want the Mark?
• Mohammad himself stated that at Judgment
Allah brings forth a “badge” or “mark” that
he gives to the Muslim and written across it is
“There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is
his Messenger”. This badge/mark will save
the Muslim from damnation and must be
worn on the right arm/hand (Tirmuthi 2369)
23. Fulfillment in Islam (8)
• The Quran, 666, was sent down through
Prophet Muhammad (G.V. 92) and its
mathematical miracle was revealed through
Rashad Khalifa.
