Hi,
Revelation 13 says: "the right hand or the forehead". I would observe that these are associated, much like: salt & pepper; black & white; rich and poor; etc. As such, what is the basis of that association -- which excludes the LEFT HAND?!?
I would propose that ONLY the right hand is used in a palm scan; and of course the eyes are in forehead for a retinal scan. As such, one should expect that fulfillment.

Revelation 13:16 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:
This does not refer to a microchip, but a spiritual mark of obedience either to God the Father or Satan. A mark on the right hand and/or the foreheads is not a physical mark placed upon the skin anymore than these next passages want people to literally place things in or upon their body (parts).
Proverbs 1:8-9 My son, hear
the instruction of thy father, and forsake not
the law of thy mother: 9 For they shall be an
ornament of grace unto thy head, and
chains about thy neck.
Proverbs 3:1-3 My son, forget not
my law; but let thine heart keep
my commandments: 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3 Let not
mercy and truth forsake thee:
bind them about thy neck;
write them upon the table of thine heart:
Proverbs 7:1-3 My son, keep
my words, and lay up
my commandments with thee. 2 Keep
my commandments, and live; and
my law as the apple of thine eye. 3
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
What these things mean is that they lead us in our lives. They teach us the ways of life.
Proverbs 6:20-23 My son, keep
thy father's commandment, and forsake not
the law of thy mother: 21
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and
tie them about thy neck. 22
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Here are more Scriptures that prove a mark in/on the hand and forehead are not meant to be taken as a physical mark in/upon the forehead and the hand.
Exodus 13:7-9 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters. 8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. 9 And i
t shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that
the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:15-16 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem. 16 And it shall be for
a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 6:6-8 And
these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And
thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
Deuteronomy 11:18-19 Therefore shall ye lay up
these my words in your heart and in your soul, and
bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
