Moses and the Israelites wear the bindi, the mark on the forehead, worn by Hindus and Buddhists.  This mark on the forehead is not discussed much either by orthodox scholars, for it shows a definite alliance with the Hindu and Buddhist traditions of India. The bindi was worn, however, by the elect in Ezekiel's day, by the earliest Christians according to Hippolytus in his work Daniel, and by the elect in "Revelations."

"And it will be a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead that the Lord brought us out of Egypt with his mighty hand." Exodus 13: 16
 

  The bindi is also seen twice in the Book of Ezekiel, in the 9th and 16th chapters. Earlier translations of Ezekiel 16: 12 say God had put a jewel on the forehead of the original vegetarian Jerusalem, personified as a woman, though Jerusalem then became a traitor to the God of compassion and sacrificed God's creatures in its temple.  The fact that "jewel on the forehead' in earlier translations of Ezekiel 16: 12, is omitted in later translations is probably another indication of how Jewish scribes attempted to suppress Judaism's early identification with the vegetarian  Hindus. The "jewel on the forehead" translation may be found in James Strong's Exhaustive Concordance by looking up forehead.

    In Ezekiel 9 a wrath-filled God, observing the animal sacrifices, the abominations of Jerusalem, tells his helpers to put the bindi on the foreheads of those who are against the abominations in the Temple of Jerusalem. To a man in white linen with a writing case, perhaps an Essene chronicler, God says:

"And the Lord said to him, "Go through Jerusalem, and put a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it."  And to the others he said in my hearing, "Pass through the city after him, and smite; your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity; slay old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but touch no one upon whom is the mark.  And begin at my sanctuary." Ezekiel 9: 4-6.

   In the above scriptures those who have compassion, those who sigh and groan over all the abominations committed in Jerusalem--location of the Temple and its animal sacrifices--have a mark put upon their foreheads.  This is Ezekiel's way of describing Judaism's identification with the Hindu-Buddhist tradition.  We see John of Patmos attempting making the same link in the "Book of Revelations."
 

    The bindi is the mark of the blessed and the saved and is mentioned a number of times in "Revelations," a work which sees a time in which there is no more sorrow and death, and therefore no longer any animal sacrifices.  Moreover in "Revelations" the creatures above, on and beneath the earth all praise the creator. Now that there is nothing accursed, i.e. that will be oppressed, enslaved and killed, sacrificed, no animal's life is threatened. The brutal demonic morals of the false scriptures, the Pentateuch of the orthodox Jews, are over.

Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. 14: 1

Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads. 7:3

Then from the smoke came the locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth; they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads...9: 4.

 There shall no more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him; they shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads. And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever. 22: 3-5
 

  The mark on the forehead is not the only clear demonstration of the Hindu origins of the pure remnant of Judaism in "Revelations." The white horse and the rider on the white horse are a reference to Kalki, the savior on a white horse who incarnates to destroy the evil in the world. Christians of course designate the rider as Christ. The earliest Christians not only word the bindi but understood that  Kalki would incarnate later just as Jesus had before them.
 

     Those researchers who download Hippolytus' "Daniel" from Catholic web sites, at least those sites I have consulted, will notice that these quoted section below in "Daniel" dealing with the mark of victory or the bindi on the forehead of the earliest followers of Jesus IS OMITTED. True to the suppressive traditions o the Roman Catholic Church, which withheld the Dead Sea Scrolls from public scrutiny for over forty years, the Catholic Church also refuses to print an edition of "Daniel" showing that the earliest followers of Jesus wore the bindi.
 
  A traveler to Asia and to points east, Hippolytus in his Daniel, iv. 9, visualizes a moral battleground between the people who will follow Jesus, representative of God, and the people who will follow Augustus, Emperor of Rome, a worldly king, a representative of Satan.  In so doing he describes the earliest Christians as wearing the bindi, the mark of victory on their forehead.  His statement that Christians "bear a new name" may refer not simply to the fact that they are called Christians, but also to the tradition of giving initiates a new spiritual name, which Jesus gave to Peter for example, which Jesus did to his disciples in general in the Gospel of the Nazirenes, and which, in imitation of the genuine followers of Jesus,  a practice which is customary in the Hindu and Buddhist [and later in the Islamic traditions. Hippolytus states:
 
"For as our Lord was born in the forty-second year of the emperor Augustus, whence the Roman empire developed, and as the Lord also called all nations and all tongues by means of the apostles and fashioned believing Christians into a people, the people of the Lord, and the people which consists of those who bear a new name--so was all this imitated to the letter by the empire of that day, ruling 'according to the working of Satan': for it also collected to itself the noblest of every nation, and, dubbing them Romans, got ready for the fray.  And that is the reason why the first census took place under Augustus, when our Lord was born at Bethlehem; it was to get the men of this world, who enrolled for our earthly king, called Romans, while those who believed in a heavenly king were termed Christians, bearing on their foreheads the sign of victory over death." (Emphasis mine) Daniel iv. 9.

  So though the original accounts were revised and contradicted in order to provide the orthodox Old Testament we have today, the real Moses and Aaron and Elisheva well understood that they were part of the Hindu tradition.

   The removing of one's sandals on holy ground, which Moses did at the command of the voice of God in the burning bush, is a Hindu tradition.  The voice in the burning bush commands Moses to remove his sandals on that holy ground. And Hindus traditionally remove their footwear when entering their sanctuaries of worship or ashrams. The Samarians did the same. And the earliest priests of Judaism did likewise; they performed their rituals barefoot. (Samarya in India is the source of the name Samaria.)
 

The Eye of Horus and Vegetarian Egyptians devoted to Osiris (also known as Ausur or Asura)

   The bindi may also be seen in the eye of Horus in Egypt, where the name Sheba was used to designate both people and places and where the names Ra and Rameses are variations, or perhaps prototypes, of Rama. In any case, as one discovers when reading the Egyptian volume, known variously as The Coming of the Day, or Book of the Dead, vegetarianism and vegetarian priests offering purely vegetarian oblations to Unefer aka Osiris were definitely a part of the tradition in ancient Egypt just as they were the rule among the mainstream Vaishnavas and Shaivites and devotees of Sakti in India.
 

  Moreover, anointing the forehead was common in ancient Mexico among the followers of Quetzalcoatl. Huitzipochtli renamed the indigenous people there the Mexicas, gave them bows and arrows and put a sign on their forehead, and promised them they would become Lords of the Earth. The word Mexicas meant the "anointed ones." Orthodox Christians destroyed records describing Quetzalcoatl's vegetarianism (he forbade animal sacrifices as well as human sacrifices) but these vegetarian traditions were conserved by the indigenous people of the area, and can be explored even on the Internet today. Not only have they found statuettes of Shiva in ancient Incan tombs, but the theological detective sees that the ancient deities of the Mayans (whom Edgar Cayce says came from the Atlanteans) were of the same prototype. And this, of course is one of the main reasons that the demonic Catholic Church and then later the entire Christian orthodox tradition, suppressed and ignored the great cultures of the Mayans and the Incas for it is obvious that originally these traditions sprang from the same pure tradition from which the vegetarians of Hinduism and Buddhism came.
