Frontlets between thine eyes

[nice.neighborhood]

Deuteronomy 6: 2… Keep all his statues and his commandments…
: 8 Thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
Exodus 28: 36 You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it:… HOLINESS TO THE LORD
: 36 So it shall be on Aaron’s forehead,

How error likes to mock, mimick, and turn things upside down:
Mark of the Beast: Does the following not resemble today’s threats to force vaccination?:
Rev. 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. [error disguised/masked as harmless Truth]
14: And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do …
15: … and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand [arm?], or in their foreheads:
17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18: …His number is 666

By contrast…
Revelation 14:1 …behold a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.
I pray that our hands (deeds) and our foreheads (thoughts) bear the mark/stamp of God’s approval.

Thank you for this post! I’ve always loved these verses from Deuteronomy in the Lesson, and the promise they give: to keep God’s statutes, “that it may be well with thee.” Keeping God’s words upon thine hand and frontlets between thine eyes is preceded by securing them in our heart; dedicated and complete love for God is our anchor in practicing, by thoughts and deeds, our accord with the law of God. And by doing so we will not be tempted to fall down to a false god; God gives to all His children discernment!
