THE INTERVALS OF THE EYE

Under the heading THE GREAT SEAL PYRAMID (https://www.sealpyramid.com/post/great-seal-pyramid), I showed how the tiers in the Great Seal pyramid rise to meet the All-Seeing Eye of Providence, and how, if each tier is made to equal 12 years, the 13th and final tier will correspond exactly to the whole of Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration:

This leads to the gap corresponding to 1945, the year the first Atomic Bomb was detonated:

The Eye then corresponds to the years that followed, which were defined by the age of technological wonders in which we have been living since the splitting of the atom. Appropriately, these years are portrayed on the Seal by "rays of glory":

If you continue generating 12-year intervals after 1945, there are only four components on the Eye with which to represent them: the three corners of the triangle and the eye itself. This will bring all of American history that can be represented on the pyramid side of the Seal to the year 1993:

Each of these intervals were unique in that each of them ended with a milestone in the history of space exploration. These milestones then formed dividing lines or lines of demarcation between the intervals:

More important than the milestones is what happens when you examine the trends of history in these intervals.

The first 12-year interval, the years from 1945 to 1957, began with the detonation of the first Atomic Bomb over Alamogordo, New Mexico, in ‘45 and ended with the launch of the first communications satellite, Sputnik, in ‘57. In the intervening years, the world was rocked by the Nuclear Arms Race: as nation after nation gained access to the Bomb, the prevailing fear was that the world was inching toward nuclear annihilation. The principal players in the drama were the United States and the Soviet Union. In the former, children were required to conduct duck-and-cover drills and to watch nuclear preparedness films in their schools. Some households even had bomb shelters constructed in their basements.

The second interval of the Eye, 1957 to 1969, began where the first one left off, with the orbiting of Sputnik, and ended with the first manned landing on the moon in ’69. This interim saw the arms race augmented by a new contest to see which nation could get to the moon first, the thinking being that whichever one did so would be in a position to train its nuclear missiles back onto the earth. The resulting Space Race concluded with the launch of Apollo 11 and the placement of the first man on the moon, after which, ironically, the financial and political interests in continuing the race faded.

The third interval, 1969 to 1981, saw the landscape shift, in that it was dominated not by a race to the moon but by oil shortages brought on by an Arab Oil Embargo, instigated by Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the United States’ support for Israel in the ongoing war with the Palestinians. Regions of the country saw long lines at the gas pumps, with stations routinely running out of gas altogether. Inevitably, the price of gas soared. The embargo ultimately ended when Ronald Reagan came into office. Having learned nothing from the experience, however, the United States subsequently went right back to importing 55% of its oil from the Middle East. Much of the conflict which the United States has been experiencing in that part of the world to this day began with this interval.

The final twelve years of the Eye, 1981 to 1993 — the interval corresponding to the eye itself at the center of the eye-and-triangle — saw the rise of Saddam Hussein, culminating in 1990 with the First War with Iraq, also known as Operation Desert Storm.

In tabular form, these intervals and the trends that defined them were:

The trend of history in the first of the four intervals was the Nuclear Arms Race; by an amazing coincidence, the Fourth Plague of Rev. 16:8-9 refers to fire:

The second interval was dominated by the Space Race. Again, by a remarkable coincidence, the corresponding Fifth Plague refers to darkness:

The third interval was dominated by an Arab embargo on oil to the United States. The corresponding Sixth Plague just happens to cite the way of the kings of the east:

And the fourth and last of the intervals saw the rise of Saddam Hussein, culminating in Operation Desert Storm. The accompanying Seventh Plague refers to “thunder and lightning and a great hail out of heaven.” It refers to a storm.

I am not making this up; trends of history in the four intervals of the Eye have followed the last four of the Seven Plagues of the Biblical "Book of Revelation." As an atheist, my first instinct is to reject it and just go watch Green Acres. But objective inquiry is not about the knee-jerk dismissal of an idea simply because it does not fit into one's preconceived notions about how things work and one cannot see how they could possibly be true. Nor is it about dismissing an idea simply because it doesn't fit in with a prevailing world view; the consensus of the day does not define the truth. It's about keeping an open mind to alternate possibilities until one has more information on which to base a conclusion, and accepting no explanation as true until enough evidence has been gathered to support it. The universe is a big place, waiting to be explored, and there is more than adequate room within its boundaries for new discoveries, no matter how strange, that have yet to be made.

The parallels with the Plagues do exist. They are there; what am I supposed to do --- ignore them?

Here's a review of how these intervals stacked up against the last four of the Seven Plagues:

1945-1957

1957-1969

1969-1981

1981-1993

In tabular form, the first five parts of the Plagues and the events with which they correlate were:

Altogether, these last four Plagues have very well described, at least in symbolic terms, trends of history in the four intervals of the Eye.

But if the last four Plagues corresponded to the intervals of the Eye, then the first three Plagues must have aligned with the three 12-year intervals immediately preceding those four.

Amazingly, these just happen to have been the same three intervals that gave us World War I, the Stock Market Crash (with the Great Depression), and World War II.

The “Plagues” and the intervals to which they corresponded were as follows:
