In the New Testament, it is most famously associated with the "mark of the beast" in the Book of Revelation, symbolizing allegiance to the Antichrist and opposition to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, a "charagma" could refer to a brand or seal used to signify ownership, much like a brand on livestock or a seal on a document. It was a common practice in Roman times to mark slaves or soldiers with a tattoo or brand to indicate their allegiance or ownership. This cultural practice provides a backdrop for understanding the symbolic use of "charagma" in Revelation, where it represents a spiritual and political allegiance.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5480</b> <i>xáragma</i> – properly, an engraving (etching); (figuratively) a mark providing <i>undeniable identification</i>, like a symbol giving <i>irrefutable connection</i> between parties.</p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/5480.htm">5480</a> <i>/xáragma</i> ("brand-mark") was originally any <i>impress</i> on a coin or a seal, used by an engraver on a die (stamp, branding iron). <a href="/greek/5480.htm">5480</a> (<i>xáragma</i>) later became "<i>the identification</i>-marker" (like with an <i>owner's</i> unique "brand-mark").</p><p class="discovery">[Ancient documents were validated by such stamps or seals (see Plutarch, <i>Agesilaus</i>, 15:6; <i>De Lysandro</i> 16:2, <i>ala DNTT</i>, 2, 574).]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from charassó (to sharpen, to engrave)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a stamp, impress<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>image formed (1), mark (7).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5480: χάραγμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χάραγμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">χαράγματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">χαράσσω</span> to engrave); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">a stamp, an imprinted mark</span>: of the mark stamped on the forehead or the right hand as the badge of the followers of Antichrist, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/13-16.htm">Revelation 13:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/14-9.htm">Revelation 14:9, 11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/15-2.htm">Revelation 15:2</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Revelation 16:2; 19:20; 20:4> (<span class="greek2">πυρός</span>, the mark branded upon horses, <span class="abbreviation">Anacreon</span> (<DATE_RANGE:530 B.C.>) 26 (55), 2). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">thing carved, sculpture, graven work</span>: of idolatrous images, <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-29.htm">Acts 17:29</a>.
