Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

2) angels are said to be sealed by God
d) in order to prove, confirm, or attest a thing

What is the Old Testament precedence for a mark on the forehead?
Eze 9:3-7 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side. And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity; slay utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
What will be the mark of God on the 144000?
Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
What is the name of God that is written on the foreheads of the 144,000?
Since these men are Messianic Christians….that is Jewish Christians, the mark of God may be seen “in type†today in the Phylacteries worn by Hasidic Jews during worship.
What are Phylacteries?
From the Jewishenyclopedia.com article on Tefillin….
Phylacteries, as universally used at the present time, consist of two leathern boxesâ€â€one worn on the arm and known as "shel yad" or "shelzeroa'", and the other worn on the head and known as "shel rosh……. The box containing the head-phylactery has on the outside the letter ש, both to the right (with three strokes: ש) and to the left (with four strokes: ש; Men. 35a; comp. Tos., s.v. "Shin"; probably as a reminder to insure the correct insertion of the four Biblical passages); and this, together with the letters formed by the knots of the two straps, make up the letters of the Hebrew word "Shaddai" ( = "Almighty," one of the names of God; Men. 35b; Rashi, s.v. "Ḳesher").
Simply, the Phylactery is a box that Hasidic Jews wear on their foreheads and arms that contains the “shema†scripture inside. On the outside of the box, “the Shin†is the Hebrew letter on the outside of the box. The “shin†is the first letter in God’s name of “El Shaddaiâ€Â.
I have the picture of a “shin†underneath my forum name….funny, in all of the forums I’ve been associated with no one has ever asked me what the letter was…..
This is very important in dealing with the mark of the beast……
Another interesting thing concerning the Shin…..
Isa 18:7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
If you look at a topographical map of Jerusalem you can see that a –Shin†is formed by the valleys and hills…….things that make you go Hmmmmmmm…..
How does this associate with the mark of the Beast I go into in another post.…….
