REGARDING THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS

Jesus Christ is perceived as the faithful witness', the first begotten of the dead' & the only prince of the kings of the earth'. Through his love' & crucifixion, he has washed' humanity of their sin in his own blood.' (1:5) This indicates that the life Jesus led, epitomises the ideal of human existence & if adopted by the individual, has the potential & ability to raise that individual to Divine perception. Erroneously, Western Theology interprets a literal return of Jesus: But (1:13) states that this figure is one like unto the Son of Man'. In this scripture, stars' symbolise angels' & the Church is symbolised as a golden candlestick'.

To those who follow Christ's example epitomised by his life, understanding, will be their reward as verified by (2:7) To him that overcometh will I give to eat the tree of life' & (2:11) He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death'. What is the second death'?
As the first death is the death of the flesh'; the second death' is the death of the spirit'. If Christ's seat is the spirit', then Satan's is the flesh'. The seven spirits of God' are the cycles of Divinity or God. The book held by him that sat on the throne', is that Divine Cycle & the new song' is the revelation of that cycle.
The four horses & horsemen symbolise the corruptions of the flesh'. The first represents the intent to conquer by use of a noble cause. Yet to conquer, one must oppress, therefore war is the consequence. Thus the second horse that was red' & its rider, symbolises war & its carnage. It is then necessary to justify such an act.
The third horse then, a black horse' & its rider represents justice. The result of these actions results in death & this is what the pale horse & rider symbolises. Since War is contrary to Divinty or God, it is obvious that Hell foloows to receive all who participate. This too, is what the pale horse & rider represents. These horsemen represent the first four seals.
The fifth seal' represents all those who are innocent & adherents of Divine Truth. They appeal for retribution.The opening of the sixth seal' grants this, so that the stars of heaven fell unto earth'. This represents the battle between the spirit' & the flesh'. In the world today, only 144,000' are ruled by Divine Truth.
The seventh seal' represents Divine retribution symbolised by seven Angels'. The first four Angels represent the destruction of the environment
