Read Revelation 6.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse give the key to the nature of man was we know him. When you understand these symbols thoroughly you will understand your own makeup, and you will be able to begin the work of getting dominion over yourself and your surroundings.
The Bible is not written in the style of a modern book. It has a method of its own of conveying knowledge through picturesque symbols, the reason being that this is the only possible way in which knowledge could be given to people in all ages in different parts of the world and of different degrees of spiritual development. A symbol appeals to any audience, each individual getting just what his ready for.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse stand for the four parts or elements of our human nature. There is first of all the physical body–the thing that you see when you look into the glass. Then there is your feeling nature, or emotions, and although you cannot “see” your feelings, you are tremendously conscious of them. Third, there is your intellect, which contains every bit of knowledge that you possess. Finally, there is your spiritual nature, your real eternal self; the true you, the I AM, the Indwelling Christ. This is your real identity, which is eternal. Almost everyone believes in its existence, but most people are very little conscious of it as an actuality.
Ultimately, the time will come when the first three will be merged in the fourth, and then we shall all know instead of only believing that the spiritual nature is all.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah (29:13).
The symbolic references in Revelation have been given many interpretations. Regardless of the meaning of these symbols, a few things are undisputed. That we will all be held accountable for our thoughts, words and deeds is clear. That every human will know the nature of God and our relationship with God, and that we will have the opportunity to accept God based on that knowledge. It is also clear that “the multitudes upon multitudes” will still choose to reject God.
We have the opportunity each day to accept the will of God and live in obedience to God. We don’t have to wait on the “end of the world” or even until tomorrow. As a friend and colleague remarked to me. If we believe and are wrong, we still live a better life, if we believe and are right, then we have eternal life with God. But if we don’t believe and are wrong, then we are doomed.
Let us choose to live in our gardens with faith and obedience to god so that we also inherit our eternal garden above.
Choosing today,
Stan
Good Morning Garden
