"The Eye of Ra is a symbol of the sun god Ra, while the Eye of Horus embodies the god Horus. The Eye of Ra is a right eye, while the Eye of Horus is a left eye. The Eye of Ra is often accompanied by a teardrop or cobra, while the Eye of Horus has markings resembling those of a falcon."
"The Eye of Ra symbolized power, fury, and violence. It was the eye of Ra, god of the sun, and was the embodiment of Ra's daughter. Ra sent his daughter to punish his disrespectful followers, leading the eye to be associated with power and violence."
One interesting side note to consider about the ancients of which we know little, i.e. those that predate the pharaoh dynasties of Egypt - We mistake worship rituals for what probably was actually respectable reliance on something like the sun. Of course it would eventually devolve into devoted idolatry, but its not difficult to imagine a non-religious, intuitive, connectedness of the prehistorics with regards to the sun, its activities, its cycles, and the benefits of its frequencies for life.
This of course should have drove them to seek out the one true God, but the human heart is desperately darkened in that way.
Ancient people everywhere relied on the sun to keep track of the solstices and equinoxes, and then tied in the moon with that to help them keep track of the changing seasons.
It was vital to know these things so you could be prepared for when to plant, when to harvest, when to move the animals to higher pastures, etc. If you didn't, and you were out of sync with the seasons, you risked losing crops and herds to frosts or drought or flood.
On this planet, you can't keep track of the seasons simply by counting days. Pretty soon, you're going to be way off - that's why we have leap years and such. Ancients relied on the moon to keep them on track, and so they were only off back-and-forth by a few days each year. Close enough to keep them alive.
The Farmers Almanac does the same thing. That's how they always seem to know what's up with the seasons.
It was just natural science back then and they were quite good at it. Things like the standing stones all over Europe and the UK, and bigger things like Stonehenge, were all about keeping track of the sun and moon cycles.
You're getting too far into the weeds for the 700 Club members here.. Their Julian calendars tell them when to celebrate feasts, so there's no reason to follow the examples left in the Old Testament for using the moon to track Holy festivals.
Any conception of God whatsoever is a mental image, infact anything physical can only be said to be an image in relation to the way you are thinking about it, so all images are ultimately mental, there is no such thing as a physical image, only your mental impression and ideas about it. Indeed the entire Bible could be construed as an image, as it is words which are images/symbols which represent reality, not the actual reality itself. It makes sense that if the Bible is pointing at anything, it is pointing at a reality that is not the words being spoken, as all language is a symbol that points at reality, not the actual reality itself. Is the purpose of Religion to recite words in a certain order, or is it an actual experience the likes of which words can never truly describe? In this sense any conversation about God has no meaning, you saying "and God spoke" has no greater meaning than someone else saying "the eye of ra symbolized", both are images and the advice offered is to go beyond images.
The average Christian probably doesn't like to hear this, but face it, unity with God means unity with God. Anything and everything you speak about is God's territory, to suggest otherwise seems to suggest that God is only the creator of some things, not all, and unless I'm utterly mistaken, the english word "God" refers to an entity that creates everything instead of only a few things with the others being sourced elsewhere. It is only when you confuse the words with the actual reality that you start fighting with people over what words are the correct ones, forgetting that all words are a symbol, not the reality itself. In other words, stop making all these graven images about God and the nature of reality and experience it directly for yourself like the Bible is trying to tell you to do! Isn't the whole point an experience rather than an image?

Indeed.

Thank you for the explanation.
It's also a symbolization for the brain and the pineal gland
The Third Eye
Right eye means ""You're being Watched"", but most people don't understand that....
What does left eye mean?
A cross section of the gland looks extremely like the eye of horus too
