THE HOLIEST Revelation of The Revelation
Tablet Eighteen
"And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets." (Rev. 8:2)
<1>So far one period of explaining the seven seals is finished. Now each Angel is related to one seal. Each seal is opened. Each Angel represents bringing the tribulation after the seal was opened, and those who did not listen to that Prophet will go through these tribulations until they become more ready to reach higher consciousness.
"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there were given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne." (Rev. 8:3)
<2>This Angel that is the first of the seven, is related to the teachings that were revealed by the horseman of the first seal or the Mystical Paths (Rev. 6:1-2). <3>The incense is the beautiful fragrance of these teachings, and the prayers of the saints are the prayers of those who have reached or will reach higher consciousness through them.
"And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand." (Rev. 8:4)
<4>All these were for Him and are offered to Him.
"And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." (Rev. 8:5)
<5>These teachings and the truth behind them were revealed to humanity, "cast it into the earth." They were purified with God, "fire of the altar." But truth always is torture to those who have false egos, so humans resist these Laws. <6>Therefore, suffering results, and because they do not follow His Laws, tribulation comes, "and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." <7>Also this refers to the beginning of the new generation which was completed six thousand years ago, after the flood of Noah and the revelation of the truth in the books of the Vedas.
"And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound." (Rev. 8:6)
<8>The seven Angels became prepared to bring the disasters to humanity because they did not believe in the Prophets or follow the Daharma. In truth each trumpet is the teaching of the Prophet of each sign which comes to humanity. But they will not listen to the truth. So the tribulation or disaster follows.
"The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up." (Rev. 8:7)
<9>By this, many disasters followed.
"And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;" (Rev. 8:8)
<10>After the second seal, the second Angel brought some other disasters. "Sea" is also a symbol of the consciousness of the people, when it is restless. So in the phrase, "and the third part of the sea became blood," blood means that their consciousnesses became so crude that they could not understand the truth. It became bloody!
"And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed." (Rev. 8:9)
<11>Disaster after disaster occurred. Even those who were saved from the restless waters ("sea"), "and had life," will also be dead in understanding, "died." They were above these restless waters in ships. But they died and their secure places (ships) will be destroyed.
"And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;" (Rev. 8:10)
<12>After the third seal was opened, the third Angel sounded the third trumpet, and again, because of the actions of the people, the disasters came to them. "Fountains of waters" refers to the Universal Mind from which all true knowledge comes. Only those who are in Pure Consciousness can fully tune themselves with it.
"And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter." (Rev. 8:11)
<13>Water symbolizes the consciousness. So the bitterness of the water and/or the part that was dead is referring to the crudification of the human mind. <14>By sounding any trumpet or revelation of each seal, because of human confusion in seeing the relationships between them as is explained in The Greatest Sign, the minds of the people become cruder, and many of them will fight with each other. They will engage in wars and kill one another. <15>All these things will occur because their minds (consciousnesses) are bitter (crude). They have not reached that state of development to expand their minds and see that all is a part of a greater Plan. So their minds are narrow, and that is the cause of all conflicts and sufferings.
"And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise." (Rev. 8:12)
<16>As we mentioned, the sun symbolizes the father of the family or the great people in the society, and the moon is the mother or the women in society. The stars symbolize the children or the great people who occupy the positions in society. So with this Angel, one-third of the great people, one-third of the women, and one-third of the children, or great personalities, will be darkened. <17>It was after the fourth Angel in The Greatest Sign (
) that the dark Medieval period appeared and many wars were staged in the name of religion. So one-third of history (day and night) became darkened.
"And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!" (Rev. 8:13)
<18>Woe to humanity because three more Angels will sound, and it is after each of these last three Angels that human progress and also tribulation will be increased. <19>Here we can see that the first four Angels came together and the last three Angels came later in a separate chapter. Therefore, as was mentioned, there is a relationship between these first four Angels, and between the last three Angels. <20>With the fourth Angel, which is the fourth seal in The Greatest Sign, the truth of religion or the truth behind spiritual understanding is finished. <21>And the rest of the Angels came to expand the minds of humanity. <22>They came to show how to become Universalists, how God will help Paravipras to establish the Kingdom Of Heaven, and how all the truth will be revealed with the seventh Angel.
