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. [1] The "book chapter:verse" cites were appended to the model designation, and the majority of the cited verses are associated with light in darkness, referencing Trijicon's specialization in illuminated optics and night sights.

[1] This prediction takes place during the Last Supper in Matthew 26:24–25, Mark 14:18–21, Luke 22:21–23, and John 13:21–30. [1] Before that, in John 6:70, Jesus warns his disciples that one among them is "a devil".
The issue of salt losing its flavour is somewhat problematic. Salt itself, sodium chloride (NaCl), is extremely stable and cannot lose its flavour.France notes that Jesus was giving a lesson in moral philosophy and "not teaching chemistry"; to him, whether or not the proverbial image is factually accurate is of little relevance to the actual message of this verse.
