Answer

Revelation teaches that everybody in the very last days gets either sealed or marked; both the good and the bad. The servants of God are "sealed" in their foreheads while the wicked receive a "mark". Revelation tells us that the wicked receive this mark in their right hand or in their forehead. What does it mean to be marked in the "hand" or in the "forehead"? Using the Bible to interpret the symbolic meanings of these two words we find that the hand symbolizes the actions and deeds, and the forehead symbolizes the thoughts or desires. (see Ecclesiastes 9:10, Isaiah 59:6, Deuteronomy 6:6-8)
