On 18 January 2010, ABC News reported Trijicon was placing references to verses in the Bible in the serial numbers of sights sold to the United States Armed Forces.

"I am with you always" forms an inclusio with the Isaiah's prophecy quoted in Matthew 1:23 that 'they shall name him "Emmanuel", which means, God is with us' [5] (cf. Matthew 18:20). [ 6 ] The phrase "the end of the age" (or "the end of the world") recurs in Matthew 13:39,40 , 49 ; 24:3 , and points to Jesus' teachings about the end of times.
