The Meaning of the Book of Revelation: the Four Horsemen
작가: Jonathan S. Rose, Curtis Childs
Transparency is needed to sort things out. Before big change happens, God first reveals what’s really going on.
In the Book of Revelation - the last book of the Word - the apostle John describes a series of apocalyptic visions that he experienced during his exile on the Isle of Patmos, in the Aegean Sea.
In one of these visions, he saw four horsemen, the first riding a white horse, the second a red horse, the third a black, and the fourth - named Death - riding a pale horse. These "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" - oft-pictured - are described in Revelation 6:1-8.
What do these horses, and their riders, represent? What do they have to do with us, today? Watch as Curtis Childs and Jonathan Rose explore the hidden Bible meaning of the Four Horsemen in the Book of Revelation, in this video from the Swedenborg and Life Series, from the Swedenborg Foundation.

Arcana Coelestia #9491
9491. 'On the inside and on the outside you shall overlay it' means everywhere. This is clear from the meaning of 'on the inside and on the outside' as everywhere, that is to say, round about since it says 'you shall overlay it'. For the inner material that was overlaid with gold was shittim wood, and 'shittim wood' means the good itself that proceeds from the Lord's Divine Human, 9472, 9486. But on the outside and on the inside there was gold, which too means good, but such as appears to the senses, and so in comparison is external. By everywhere round about, 'on the inside and on the outside' - when these words have reference to heaven, meant by 'the ark' - heaven in general and every heavenly community in particular are meant, heaven in general being meant by 'on the outside' and heavenly communities by 'on the inside' since they lie within heaven.
