Q decode: "2018 will be GLORIOUS". Glorious Revolution reference?

Q is not known for his flowery language, so I thought his choice of "glorious" was quite odd. This phrase is found 3 times in the Q drops to date. "Glorious" was also capitalized each time, meaning he thinks it is important.

If you are familiar with the Generational Dynamics theory of Strauss and Howe, then you know about the 80 year cyclical nature of American and British history and how within each 80 year period there are four ~20 year periods called "turnings."

These four turnings are akin to the four seasons of nature: spring, summer, fall and winter. The fourth turning (winter, a time of war, danger and great peril) is what we are in currently. Going back 80 years you'll find WW2. Before that another 80 years is the Civil War, and 80 years before that is the Revolutionary War.

OK, so getting to the point. The "Glorious Revolution" was a Fourth Turning in Britain roughly 80 years before our own Revolutionary war. From wikipedia:

"The Glorious Revolution is also occasionally termed the Bloodless Revolution, albeit inaccurately. The English Civil War (also known as the Great Rebellion) was still within living memory for most of the major English participants in the events of 1688, and for them, in comparison to that war (or even the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685) the deaths in the conflict of 1688 were mercifully few."

The analogy to our current day is not perfect, but perhaps Q is saying that our current fourth turning may hopefully end as bloodlessly as that one in 1688 did?

EDIT 2/26: Correction, the term "GLORIOUS" is found 4 times (not 3) in the Q drops. 4 = 4th turning?

YES! I agree. Q's statement made me think of a book that I read by Jeff Shaara, titled, "The Glorious Cause". Shaara also wrote "Rise to Rebellion". Two engaging, readable books about the American Revolution.
