The Meaning of the Book of Revelation: the Four Horsemen
Написано 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.

Heaven and Hell # 117
117. Although the sun of the world is not seen in heaven, nor anything from that sun, yet there is a Sun there, and light and heat and all things that are in the world, with innumerable others, but not from the same origin, for the things in heaven are spiritual and those in the world natural. The Sun of heaven is the Lord, the light there is the Divine Truth and the heat the Divine Good, and those go forth from the Lord as from a Sun. From this origin are all things which come into existence and appear in the heavens. But the light and heat and things coming into existence therefrom in heaven will be treated of in the following section. Here, only the Sun there is dealt with. The reason the Lord in heaven is seen as a Sun is that He is Divine Love from which all spiritual things come into existence, as do all natural things by means of the sun of the world. That Love is what shines as a Sun.
