The book, Revelation of The
Revelation, is a complete Revelation of the meaning of the last
book in the
Bible,
The Revelation.
____________________________________
Introduction
The book Genesis (the first book in the
Bible) can be referred to as the introduction to the Bible,
The Revelation (the last book in the Bible) as the
conclusion or ending, and the rest of the Bible as the main
part. With this, the Bible can be looked upon as a complete
book given by the Lord.
Therefore, by understanding the introduction (Genesis)
of the book (Bible) and its conclusion (The Revelation),
it can be understood in depth. The introductory part of the Bible
is described in
The
Holiest Book and
Children of Abram
(Abraham), All Prophecies Are Fulfilled, and the conclusion
or the book of The Revelation is described here.
The commentaries in this book are an expansion of
the revelations which are given about some verses of The
Revelation in
The
Holiest Book, and also they cover the verses which are not
explained in
The
Holiest Book. In other words, this is a complete book of
commentaries on the whole book of The Revelation, verse by
verse.
A brief explanation of the basic flow of The
Revelation in whole, before the main commentaries start, will be
given below.
In chapter 5 of Matthew, from verses 3 to
10, eight types of humans are described. Verse 3 describes the first
ones, the poor in
spirit, who become
escapists and do not go through the spiritual struggle. They are the
ones who forsake the society. From verses 4 to 9, the next six types
are described, each one relating to one of the psychic centers in
the human body (chakras)
in spiritual progress. In verse 10 those who are called Maha-Paravipras
(Avatars) are described
(the ones who have reached
Pure
Consciousness and return to help others).
In The Revelation, after a brief
introduction in chapter 1, again the same trend of different types
of people occur in chapters 2 and 3. Also the pitfall in each step
of progress (going from the lower nature to the higher one) is
described. Also after each stage it is explained what the reward is
for the person who overcomes these pitfalls. These descriptions are
symbolically called the seven churches, and are related to the eight
types of humans described in ten verses in chapter 5 in
St. Matthew.
Also each church is related to one seal in
The Greatest
Sign and its significance in history and human progress.
Therefore not only is each church representative of a psychic center
(chakra), but together
they also present the progress of human consciousness through time
and history. It shows where each seal stands in this progress and
what the Prophet of that seal had tried to accomplish.
In fact we can say that the meanings of chapters
2 and 3 are the very base of both human history and understanding
The Greatest Sign
(the history but not the creation).
After chapter 3 in The Revelation, when a
person progresses to a very high consciousness (Pure
Consciousness), then, "After this I looked, and, behold, a door
was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard...said, Come
up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter."
(Rev. 4:1). After going through the stages described in chapters 2
and 3, then the door (of understanding) would be opened to the truth
of the rest of The Revelation.
In chapters 4 and 5, it is described how the
"Lamb" had reached
Pure Consciousness and was about to open the seals of the
understanding of the book "in the right hand of him that sat on the
throne." (Rev. 5:1)
In chapter 6 until chapter 8 verse 2, the seven
seals are opened by
Christ, a symbol of each
Angel of the seven
churches. Also, each seal is a symbol of a religion which
corresponds to one of the seven seals in
The Greatest
Sign.
From 8:2 until the end of chapter 11, the seven
Angels with seven
trumpets are described. The trumpet is an instrument with a
tremendous sound, and if blown strongly, it can awaken people. So it
is a symbol of truth which comes by these seven
Angels, which are the
same as the
Angels of the churches (Prophets
of the seven religions). They bring the truth to humanity, but
humans do not pay any heed and continue in their own ways, so create
karma or
sin (sin
is transgression of the Laws of the Lord), and this results in
many disasters and
tribulation. This
is described to come after each
Angel sounds his trumpet.
In chapter 10 before the seventh
Angel
comes, the era of flourishment of the intellectuals is described,
which corresponds to the same era prophesied in the book of
Daniel (for more detail, read
Commentaries on
Prophecies in Daniel, Period of Intellectual Domination). It
is after this intellectual era that the seventh
Angel will come, "when he
shall begin to sound, the mystery of
God should be finished..." (Rev. 10:7).
In chapter 11 it is described that these
Angels (the
Prophets) will come,
bring the truth, and prophesy for three thousand-five hundred years.
But each time after they leave, their teachings will be distorted
and become dead, "And their dead bodies shall lie in the street..."
(Rev. 11:8), until eventually the seventh
Angel will sound his
trumpet and the kingdom of this world becomes the Kingdom of
God.
In chapters 12 and 13, the process and reasons
for confusion in the
mind of the individual is
described by four symbols: the red
dragon as attraction to the external world; the beast with seven
heads, "which rises up out of the sea"1
(Rev. 13:1) symbolizes desire; the beast with "two horns like a
lamb," (Rev. 13:11) as attachment which comes to man because of
desires; and the result of all of these is the
mark (Rev. 13:17)
that such people carry on themselves. This
mark that they will be known by is the GREED for having more of
this external world.
The attraction of the external world (red
dragon),
desires (beast with seven heads), attachment (beast with two horns)
and greed (the
mark) are the four
winds which cause both the
individual consciousness and the world to become confused and
turbulent; their consciousnesses (water)
become restless by these
winds. This confusion
comes to the people because of the influence of the
tama guna over their Souls
which causes them to fall to their lower natures. It is this lower
nature which should be overcome in the earthly life.
In chapter 14, again the seven
Angels will bring other
events that will happen besides those already described. These will
occur in the same time period after each seal is opened by each
Angel, consisting of a
span of three thousand-five hundred years. Again it is in the time
of the seventh
Angel that the earth is
ripe and the winepress is used to separate those who are ready from
those who have lagged behind.
Again, from chapter 15:1 to 16:18, the same
Angels in the same period
of time (3,500 years) will appear with the last plagues. When the
seventh
Angel
pours out his vial, The Plan of
God finishes and it will be done, "...It is done" (Rev. 16:17).
There are two points which should be emphasized
and understood. First, the
Angels of the churches (Prophets)
who will open the seven seals (seven religions) come in a time
period of three thousand-five hundred years. Also the seven
Angels with trumpets, the
seven
Angels in chapter 14, and
the seven
Angels with the last
plagues (Rev. 15:1-16:17) all come in the same time period. Each of
them is a symbol of one Prophet or the bringer of the
tribulation after each Prophet. The
tribulation occurs because people will not follow the teachings
of that Prophet.
The second point is that it is after the last or
seventh
Angel when the time comes
that "the mystery of God
should be finished" (Rev. 10:7), the Kingdom of
God will come (Rev. 11:15), those who have lagged behind will be
separated from those who are ripe, "...the clusters of the vine of
the earth" will be gathered because "...her grapes are fully ripe"
(14:18), and The Plan of God
will be finished, "...It is done" (Rev. 16:17). So after the seventh
Angel, the true reality
and His Plan will finish.
After all these things occur and when many people
realize the illusion of Maya,
then is the time for Babylon to "come in remembrance before
God" (Rev. 16:19). Babylon is the symbol of gaining wealth and
power to satisfy the selfish desires and/or for making name and fame
for selfish ends (vain hopes). In chapters 17 and 18 the fall of
Babylon is described.
Then is the time for the glory of
God
to come, which is in chapter 19. The rest of The Revelation
is about what will happen after that. In chapter 20, the two stages
of judgment are described and many will be saved. So there will be
many Angels (Avatars)
by the end of the time of this chapter. Therefore, there will be
many laborers to help the process of bringing the whole universe to
Pure Consciousness. Those who had not reached
Pure Consciousness
by this time will be
born again
in the manifested world, "cast into the lake of fire" (Rev. 20:15).
Those who had reached
Pure
Consciousness and those who will also overcome and reach there
"shall inherit all things; and I will be his
God, and he shall be my
son" (Rev. 21:7). Also in chapter 21 a symbolic description of
New Jerusalem (Pure
Consciousness) is presented.
In chapter 22 it is assured that all these things
will surely happen and are true.
Amen.
______________________________
1 - "Sea" is the symbol of individual consciousness in
confusion (mind), because sea symbolizes restless water
(consciousness). But the use of the phrase "the great sea" refers to the
consciousness of the world (human society) in general.
That is why the symbolic meaning of baptism, by merging the
person into the restless water (river of Jordan) and taking him
out again, refers to removing him from confusion.
However, the base for confusion in both consciousnesses
(individual and social) are the four winds (attraction, desire,
attachment, and greed.)(Back)
