Exodus 3:14 ; "And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:" Exodus 6:2 Quote:    1. Etymology of the word .---Passing over some fantastic and baseless conjectures on this head, we go at once to the passage in which we have what was undoubtedly regarded by the ancient Hebrews as the etymon of the word, Exod. iii. 14.

Study: "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 :" Revelation 13:16 What is this "mark in the right hand or in the forehead"? How can we know what it is? Does the Bible have anything similar? Yes!
