Two passages
from Chapter 7 of the Book of Revelation seem to be suggested by the
careful study of a 7-fold symmetric “heptagram” which appeared in crops
near Devil’s Den on June 20, 2018, and resembles a “Sigillum Dei” or “Seal
of the Living God”
“Sit down
before fact like a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived
notion, follow humbly wherever nature leads, or else you shall learn
nothing.” --- Thomas Huxley
A 7-fold
symmetric heptagram of the type 7/2
This will be
one of the more unusual interpretations of a crop picture to be presented
recently. When we study a nicely-drawn and complex crop picture which
appeared near Devil’s Den (just west or Marlborough) on June 20, 2018, we
can see right away that it shows a “heptagram” or 7-pointed star of the
type “7/2”:
There are two
general types of heptagram known as “7/2” or “7/3” (please see
Heptagram). The basic form of this crop-drawn heptagram has been
outlined in red in the upper-left part of a
slide above.
Many thin,
curved lines near its centre also suggest an extension of the same geometry
to seven large circles outside (outlined in red
once again), as shown on a right-hand side of the slide above. Such an
extension creates a 7-fold symmetric “Seed of Life” which may be a novel
form of sacred geometry, since the usual Seed of Life is 6-fold symmetric.
“Seal of the
Seven Archangels” or “Seal of the Living God” from Revelation 7:2
This “7/2”
heptagram, as drawn in crops near Devil’s Den on June 20, has often been
given spiritual or religious significance. For example, it resembles a
“Seal of Seven Archangels” as shown in the lower-left part of a slide
above. it also resembles a 7-fold symmetric heptagram called “Sigillum
Dei”, meaning “symbol of the living God” or “seal of the truth of God” (see
Sigillum_Dei or
symboldictionary.net). This symbol was used in the Middle Ages to
protect Christian people from evil influences. Now we see it here again in
2018, drawn in crops near a “Den of the Devil”!
Perhaps such
geometrical, numerical and geographical symbolisms were intended to suggest
some deeper kind of meaning, in terms the numbers “7” and “2”, “seven
archangels” and a “seal of the living God”? When we study the Christian
Book of Revelation, we find in Chapter 7, versus 2 a similar passage:
“Then I saw
another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God.”
That June 20
crop picture was drawn within a large number “7” in the landscape, and
close to 3 standing stones at Devil’s Den, perhaps to suggest yet another
passage from Revelation 7:3
When we look in
the landscape to see where the June 20 crop picture near Devil’s Den was
drawn, we can see immediately that it was drawn in the upper part of a
large number “7” in the landscape, as shown on the right-hand side of a
slide below:
Above and to
the left, we can see the 3 standing stones of “Devil’s Den”. These have
been marked by a small yellow circle,
with a yellow number “3”
inside. Might the close proximity of this crop picture in the landscape to
a large number “7”, and to those “3” standing stones, be intended to
suggest another passage from the Book of Revelation as Chapter 7, verse 3?
“Do not harm
the land or sea or trees, until we put a seal on the foreheads of the
servants of our God.”
The image of a
“two-headed serpent” in the landscape, just above this crop picture,
suggests that we should join a large, green number “7” conceptually with
the “3” standing stones of Devil’s Den
Next I noticed
that, just above where the crop picture was drawn, we can see the humorous
shape of a “two-headed serpent”. Starting in the centre of that “serpent”,
close to where the crop picture was drawn (marked with a black-and-white
square), we can see that one small “head” of the landscape “serpent” points
down and to the left, towards the 3 standing stones of Devil’s Den (marked
with a yellow circle):
The other small
“head” of that landscape “serpent” points up and to the right, at another
large, green number
“7”
in the
landscape. Now we have another set of two numbers “7” and “3” from the
surrounding landscape, to go along with the first two numbers “7” and “2”
from a specific “heptagram” shape which was drawn in crops.
The shape of a
small “radio transmitter” just above a large, green number “7” in the
landscape
What are the
crop artists trying to suggest to us here? We can also see the shape of a
small “radio transmitter”, with its thin vertical “antenna”, just above
that large, green number
“7”
in the landscape. Some kind of clever puzzle is being presented to us by
the crop artists! Can we figure it out?
Let us study
next the Devil’s Den crop picture from a much-broader visual perspective in
the landscape, as it might be seen by someone who is flying above.
The
pre-existing image of a “lamb” in the broad landscape nearby, with the
small image of a “radio transmitter” (the new crop picture) fixed to its
“ear”
When we examine
this crop picture from a much-broader visual perspective in the landscape,
we can see that it was drawn as some kind of metaphorical “radio
transmitter” or “RFID tag”, similar to one which a herdsman might place on
the ears of his lambs:
Except now that
“radio transmitter” or “RFID tag” has spiritual significance, as a
“Sigillum Dei” or “seal of the living God”!
Still the
puzzle is not fully solved. What might this crop-drawn “radio antenna” or
“RFID tag”, as fixed to the “ear” of a “lamb”, have to do with the other
numbers of “7/2” or “7/3” mentioned above?
Studied from an
even-broader perspective in the landscape, we can see the pre-existing
image of a “man” who is standing behind that “lamb”, which received a “seal
of the living God” on its “ear”
When we zoom
out to study this crop picture from an even-broader perspective in the
landscape, then its full meaning becomes clear. Now we can see the large
“head” and “face” of a man (with “glasses”), who seems to be standing
protectively behind that “lamb”, which just had a “seal of the living God”
(the crop picture at Devil’s Den) fixed to its “ear”:
The underlying
Christian character of this crop picture now becomes clear. That “man” in
the landscape could be Jesus or one of his “angels”, who are often
portrayed as holding protectively a “lamb”, to symbolize the innocent
people whom they try to protect.
Two relevant
passages from the Book of Revelation, Chapter 7, verses 2 and 3 would be:
7:2 “Then I saw
another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God.”
7:3 “Do not
harm the land or sea or trees, until we put a seal on the foreheads of the
servants of our God.”
If this unusual
interpretation is correct, then we seem to be living at a time when unseen
spiritual forces are preparing to place a protective “seal” onto the
foreheads of everyone on Earth who “serve the Christian god”. Furthermore,
we might call these unseen crop artists “spiritual angels”, rather than
“space aliens”. Several other crop pictures from the summer of 2018 also
showed Christian or angelic themes.
