I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, … And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer – Buddhism. Victorious (winner in Truth, jina, arihant) is the widely recognized highest title of the Buddha. The real victorious is not the Great Martyr George, but the Conqueror in Truth Gautama (Buddha Shakyamuni). Bow in the context of Buddhism means altruism. Also, a bow can mean piercing, insight. Horse means rapid spread, development. The presence of a rider means that the spread and development is subject to the will of man. White color means holiness, true faith. It was the philosophy of Buddhism that made it possible to find the true decoding of the Revelation.
When he opened the second seal, … Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword – ancient mythology, the cult of military glory. In one version of the translation, the color of the horse is not red, but fiery. The appearance of such a delusion among a part of the population that getting bread with a sword is the same worthy work, for example, like agriculture, or like cattle breeding, or like weaving, or like blacksmithing.
When he opened the third seal, … And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't damage the oil and the wine! – The market economy, commodity production, the cult of wealth, the cult of money, black greed. Black color means the karma of hell. A product produced for sale, unlike a natural one, is of poor quality, made without a soul, unhealthy, damaged. "Oil and wine do not hurt." Oil and wine are products that are used for worship. In those times when all products will be saturated with filth, nevertheless, a person will try to keep his personal relationship to God pure. The appearance of such a delusion among a part of the population that earning bread by trade (speculation) is the same decent work as any other occupation.
When he opened the fourth seal, … And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him. – The Abrahamic religions. A pale color indicates a low-level religion, an incorrect faith. That monotheism is superior to polytheism is an erroneous, false statement. It's a delusion. The sound idea that it is best to worship only the highest god should not lead to a denial of the existence of other gods. Moreover, in practice, everything still returned to the original mistakes: the pantheon of deities was replaced by the pantheon of saints, and as a result, believers again began to worship not the most important god, but one of their favorite saints or any specific prophet.
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" – Holy Great Martyrs of early Christianity and other religions. The Holy Great Martyrs wish death to those who live on earth, since in itself the birth in the world of people leads to communion with the crimes of mankind, the crimes of the past, present and future.
I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake – the eruption of Vesuvius and other earthquakes. The punishment of the crusaders, as well as Muslims, who allowed themselves to organize religious wars, kill and torture people in the name of faith, in the name of God, lead to faith by threatening death or under torture. The one who kills "for the faith", "for the true faith", "for the right faith", "for the righteous faith", "in the name of faith", "in the name of God", "in the name of Allah", "for the Orthodox faith" – they commit great blasphemy and there is no forgiveness for them.
Such scripture as the Old Testament is seventy-five percent filled with descriptions of how certain peoples waged religious wars, that is, wars in the name of God.
It is also possible that the compilers of the Old Testament deliberately distorted the original, original, legends, for example, that in the original version of the myth of the genesis, Abel was a farmer, and Cain was a cattle breeder. And not vice versa. Such a distribution of occupations would better fit into their manifested psychological characteristics. Because killing another person is very difficult. However, it turned out that it was not difficult for Cain to kill his brother. And that was because he had already trained on rams before. And such, on the contrary, the distribution of occupations, more logically explains the reason why God did not accept a donation from Cain … Because this donation was associated with the killing of an animal, because it was a bloody donation.
Chapter 7
After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!" I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israeclass="underline" : :of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, :of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, :of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, : :of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, :of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, :of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, : :of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, :of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, :of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, : :of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, :of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, :of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. :
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"
All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God, saying, "Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen."
One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?"
I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood. Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them. They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
