Raptor Center: What Bald Eagles Can See
- A 2-millimeter insect from 18 meters away
- A mouse from 446 feet away
- An ant from the top of a ten-story building
- The faces of basketball players from the back of a large arena
- A rabbit from over two miles away
As if that weren’t enough, Eagles see more colors than we do. In addition to perceiving red, green, and blue, a fourth cone allows him to see into the ultraviolet spectrum. Drops of oil in each cone selectively filter out certain colors, offering greater sensitivity to different color shades and allowing him to see polarized light. These adaptations allow him to see the urine trails or prey, provide information about mate health, and may help him navigate as well.
If we could see ants from ten-stories, colors of illness, and danger coming from miles away, it might be impossible to focus on one thing. We don’t have to see the colors to know they exists… thanks to the Eagles.
In harmony, a Divine Intermediary designed Human’s vision for his highest purpose. God shared the faculty to see through the dimension of Time.
Sanctification is the act of being separated, set apart, or made holy for God’s special use. We can’t imagine God’s face shining on us. If we could, we’d surely die. Only when our Spirit is Sanctified can we hold Faith in the Unseen Light that we can know without seeing it for our self. The Word is a living power of Truth that speaks to us over Time.
John 17:17 KJV
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
