Chapter 5
I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals. I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?" No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look in it. And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it. One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals." I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. They sang a new song, saying, :"You are worthy to take the book, :and to open its seals: :for you were killed, :and bought us for God with your blood, :out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, : :and made us kings and priests to our God, :and we will reign on earth." :
I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!"
I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen! "
The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.
A book sealed shut with seven seals – is the Revelation.
A book written inside and outside – Revelation has two contents: secret and explicit. If someone cannot understand the secret, it does not mean that it does not make sense for him to read this Revelation.
Sealed shut with seven seals – the message of the Almighty – secret, encrypted. To read the message, you need to remove these seals. Removing the seals is not a simple, not a trivial matter. Each seal is a cross. The Lamb, in fact, makes a sevenfold cross ascent.
The Root of David – is the root of liberation.
The Lamb has overcome – The Lamb is the future Victor in Truth Maitreya. The arrival of which is predicted by Buddhist scriptures at the end of the kalpa, after 5.6 billion years. This time coincides with the time of the disappearance of the solar system. The solar system, according to the calculations of astronomers, will have to be swallowed up by a black hole, located now not far from the solar system. Maitreya's mission is to save most of the Earth's population before it is destroyed.
The lamb is as though it had been slain – sacrificed. The same as the ascent of Christ to the cross.
Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne – proof that the One seated on the throne is not Jesus, since the One seated is giving the book to the future savior. Two Jesuses cannot be in the same place at the same time. Either the Lamb is not Jesus, or the One sitting on the throne is not Jesus. And most certainly, neither one nor the other is Jesus of Nazareth.
Chapter 6
I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see!" 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.
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come!" 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.
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come and see!" 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!"
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see!" 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.
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
