THE FOREHEAD IN SCRIPTURE
From time to time, the LORD has me go off on seemingly wierd or unimportant tangents. While teaching through this chapter, I felt compelled for whatever reason to do a study on "foreheads" in the Bible. It turned out to be a revealing and sometimes funny class. We had a good time and learned a lot. Studying "the forehead in scripture" can be usefull, but it's always better to have the scripture in your forehead!

THE FOREHEAD IN SCRIPTURE
Ex. 28:36-38 36. And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37. And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
38. And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall
hallow in all
their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord.
Lev. 13:41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
Lev. 13:42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald
forehead.
Lev. 13:43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead,
as the
leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
1Sam. 17:49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone
sunk into
his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
2Chr. 26:19,20 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even
rose up in
his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, from beside the incense altar.
20. And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust
him out from
thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the Lord had smitten him.
Jer. 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou
refusedst to be ashamed.
Ez. 3:8,9 8. Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9. As an adamant harder than flin have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a
rebellious house.
Ez. 9:4 And the Lord 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 for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
Ez. 16:12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
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.
Rev. 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only
those men
which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Rev. 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads:
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.
Rev. 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in
his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev. 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH
Rev. 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had
received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev. 22:3,4 3. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4. And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
A noticeable omission to this list is Gen.4:15 which deals with the mark God set upon Cain so he wouldn’t be killed.
Though it may be argued that the mark is on his forehead, we are never told that it is. Realistically, the mark could
have been anywhere on his face, hands, or any other visible part of Cain’s body.
