THE FOUR HORSEMEN and the SEVEN SEALS

THE FOUR HORSEMEN and the SEVEN SEALS

     The first vision of Revelation introduces the four living creatures (the divine infinite calculus) and God’s Lamb (Love) to the reader.  The Lamb of God (God’s spiritual idea) is the only one capable of unsealing the seven seals (of error) to open up the Bible (make the Bible spiritually understood).  We read about this in the fifth chapter of Revelation.  Most Christians believe this Lamb to be Jesus, but this is not the case because this Lamb is not a man.  It represents the Christ ideal which manifests God’s Love (God’s Mother Hood).  The reason why the Lamb is not Jesus is because his mission came too early.  The world was not ready, not mentally prepared, to have the Bible opened up to them.  Today we begin to understand that God’s Lamb, this spiritual idea, is a woman.  This woman is an angel (divine messenger of God) who descends from heaven during the Sixth Day of Truth.  This angel is “clothed with a cloud.”  Hence, she is a divine messenger of God.  Jesus prophesied the second coming of Christ as descending from heaven in the same manner that he ascended to heaven, upon a cloud – the symbol for a divine messenger.  We can then begin to understand that because the angel is “clothed with a cloud” that she is veiled, or it is hard for mankind (including women and children) to see her true identity.  Or perhaps, it makes more sense to say that the world’s mental vision about the woman’s place has been clouded or obscured by the red dragon of ecclesiastical despotism.

A few months ago I posted some of the Fall 2012 BANNER on the topic of the National Council of Churches, the fact that The First Church Board of Directors in Boston wished to join with the NCC next summer during their “private” annual meeting.
