When a peacock spreads its tail feathers, they are truly a sight to behold. Their feathers create a large semicircle of radiant, iridescent colors. The “Eyes” located on the peacock’s tail feathers represent those who have “Eyes To See” what God is doing on the earth. God is anointing the Eyes of the Seer so that we may correctly see Him in this season and release His Glory on the earth. But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
