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 #10471
10471. 'Do not let your anger grow hot, O my lord' means, Do not let the internal therefore turn itself away. This is clear from the meaning of 'growing hot with anger' - when it has reference to 'Moses', by whom the internal is meant - as turning itself away, at this point, Do not let it turn itself away; and from the representation of Moses, to whom 'my lord' refers here, as the internal, dealt with above in 10468. Moses is called 'my lord' here by Aaron because the internal is the lord or master and the external in relation to it is the servant. A person's internal resides in heaven, and therefore when it is open it constitutes heaven within him, while his external resides in the world and so constitutes the world within him; and the world has been created to serve heaven as a servant does his master. The like applies to the external side of worship, and also to the external side of the Church, and of the Word as well, in relation to the internal side of them.
