土地
聖書の「地球」とは、教会のように、同じ考えを持つ人またはグループのことです。しかし、それは特に人の心の外見、またはグループの一般的な思考のことを指します。天と地が一緒に言及されている場合、心の内面と外面の両方が意味されます-創造の物語を読むときに注意するもの。 「地球」とは、地面、畑、庭など、より具体的な他の言葉の入れ物と考えることができる一般的な言葉です。これらはそれぞれ、聖書から真理を学び、それについて考え、それを人生に適用しようとする、昇順シリーズの人を意味します。このシリーズは、善良で賢明になる方法を表しています。 「土」と「地面」は、種まきのたとえ話のように、どちらの方法でも使用できる用語です（マタイによる福音書13:4-8）良い地面と悪い地面の両方がありましたが、「フィールド」と「庭」は良い方向に向かって再生している心を意味します。 黙示録では、「地球」という言葉は、私たちが自然な意味で使用するときの地上レベルとして、またグループの意味としても使用されています。この本のアクションは、人々が最初に行き、彼らが整理される霊界の偉大な中間ゾーンで行われます。そこには悪人と善人の両方がおり、時には教会の終わりには、悪が大きな判断を下す前に大きな影響を与えることができます。このレベルの霊的領域は、ドラゴンが投げ落とされた「地球」と呼ばれます（ヨハネの黙示録12:9）そして星が落ちた（ヨハネの黙示録12:4）。ドラゴンの洪水を飲み込んだ「地球」とは、ドラゴンの偽りの洪水を割引いた教会内のまだ誠実な人々を意味します（ヨハネの黙示録12:15）。

祭壇
御言葉に記されている最初の祭壇は、ノアが箱舟から出てきた後、ノアが建てたものです。その祭壇で、きれいな動物を主のために犠牲にしました。山は高いところにあるので、主を象徴し、私たちが主と「話す」ときには、この世のものよりも思考を高めなければなりません。祭壇は小さな人工的な山ですが、礼拝に使われると、この思考の高揚を思い起こさせ、火と煙を上げて、象徴的に主に送ることができます。祭壇の多くは、切り立っていない石で作られています。石は真理を表し、人の手によって形作られていない石は、御言葉の真理、汚されていない真理を表します。きれいな獣は善いこと、正しいからこそ行う慈善的な行為を表し、きれいな鳥は教義と行動、何が正しいかについての考えを表しています。ですから、これらのことを提示するということは、私たちが主からそれらをもらったことを認め、主に感謝することなのです。 イスラエルの幕屋では，焼燔の供え物の祭壇は善の承認を表し，香の祭壇は真理の承認を表していました。そのため、扉の外にあったこの大きな祭壇は、自然の善を意味する真鍮で作られ、線香の祭壇は真理から来る主への愛を意味する金で作られていました。
