The first seal represents a picture
of a white horse,
arising from a
scroll as a symbol of My all-embracing love, crowned with all the other
attributes, and with a bow to wound the most hardened hearts, so that some
day all would resolve in love. Out of love the world was created, out of
love I descended to earth, and it is out of love that My first corner-stone
is to consist, which will establish My divine Teachings on earth, and which
can never be overcome.
The second seal produced a red
horse,
a symbol of wisdom, or in
human terms, of reason and the power of judgment, which wants to analyze
everything critically. It will compare the divine heavenly teaching with the
material existence, thereby exposing the differences. The result will,
therefore, not be peace, but conflict, as human passions conflict with the
principles of the soul of the spiritually-minded man, resulting in
fanaticism on both sides - religious wars externally, and inner conflict of
conscience - as a necessary consequence of two extremes opposing each other.
The third horse emerging was
black, and its rider was holding
a pair of scales. It was the firm and just will which is determined to
follow its final goal,
undeterred by any obstacles. The will
corresponds also to justice, which ponders the actions, the good ones
bringing their own reward, and the bad their own punishment. Justice should
prevail everywhere, both in matters of faith and in social life. I, as
Christ, taught mankind to better understand the Teachings they had received.
I taught them love and wisdom, which "allots" love its rightful measure. I
taught them tolerance or justice towards all, and these three seals are
therefore the key as to how My Teachings should spread if they are to bring
about the ennoblement of the human race.
The fourth seal shows you a pale
horse, that is, of nondescript
color, neither cold nor warm or metaphorically, as it says there, death. For
death does not signify the end, but only a transformation. Thus the color of
the horse is like the Path during the Transformation brought about by My
Teachings, which can be walked either upward or downward: upward to a higher
spiritualization through its acceptance, and down- ward through the
brutalization of the noblest attributes which I, as Creator, have placed in
the human heart. This seal corresponds to order or the orderly course of all
that is created.
This naturally leads to the interpretation of
the fifth seal .............
