The Significance of the Fore.Head
Before I begin to narrate or explain what I am about to say , I will like to highlight something key which God does for His people in a time of trouble. Let us visit the Book of Revelations again and see. "Come and See".
"And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying "Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in there foreheads". Rev 7: 2 - 3
Yes, God has a seal and He sets it in the forehead. Now why must it be there? What is the significance of the fore.head? Why not the eye or any other part of the body? To answer this question "I do not know". God is sovereign and He created man and knows what is best for man.
He also has given us samples and patterns in His word so that we do not call Him "mysterious".
Ex 28:38 "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."
In another place in the Old Testament, with respect to His Commandments to Isreal , he asked them to make phylacteries as a type of "reminder" of His Covenant with them.

It simply signifies the power of meditation and the consciousness of the Covenant. What Covenant? The Covenant of the Blood of His Son & Lamb - Jesus Christ.
The Seal of God comes on your forehead when his Covenant and his Word becomes your constant meditation and prayer.
“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 9:4
Now, if you compare the same thing in the Old Testament books, especially in the Torah , you will notice God gave Israel instruction to put those Holy Words/Commandments on their lintel post(door posts) and in between their foreheads for memorial(constant remembrance and consciousness). The same principle applies in Christianity where He commands according to the words of John the Prophet of Revelation that his servants and children keep His word as their constant meditation and hence this brings about His seal being placed or sealed in their foreheads to prevent the plagues.
As plagues get reeled out upon the face of the earth in this last days, we His servants must keep His word in our constant meditation and hence receive protection from the plagues in the same manner he saved them in Egypt.
Again, as saints we have His Holy Spirt as the Seal of His Great Covenant and hence we must keep our minds and consciousness in His Word always.
Having said all these, I will quickly proceed to the counterfeit in which the Anti-Christ also seals his servants in their foreheads and righhands.
