Tablet Sixteen
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw
under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of
God, and for the
testimony which they held:" (Rev. 6:9)
<1>This seal is the fifth seal in
The Greatest
Sign (),
the nine-armed star, which is the symbol of the
Baha'i Faith.
<2>It symbolizes universality. As described before, many
saints of this religion were slain for the word of
God (their belief which came by their Prophet), "and for the
testimony which they held."
"And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How
long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost
thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the
earth?"
"And
white robes were given
unto every one of them; and it was said unto them; that they should
rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and
their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be
fulfilled." (Rev. 6:10-11)
<3>White
robes were given to them, which corresponds to the promise that if
they overcome the pitfalls of the fifth church (fifth seal), they
will be given
white raiment (Rev.
3:5).
<4>They have reached the state where they can
see
God (Matthew 5:8). So
they were crying for justice. <5>However, they should wait
"for a little season." Baha'i came in the 1800's. So the judgment
should come sometime after this revelation which is in this century.
"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,
and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;" (Rev. 6:12)
<6>The sixth seal is the sixth symbol in
The Greatest
Sign ().
<7>As it was mentioned in Rev. 3:10, with the revelation of
this sign, the
tribulation
based on temptation started in the world. This sign was revealed to
humanity in the year 1945 at which time
tribulation (the
attraction to
Maya and the external
world) also started to become stronger.
Chapter 7
"And I saw another
angel
ascending from the east, having the seal of the living
God: and he cried with a
loud voice to the four
angels, to whom it was
given to hurt the earth and the sea,"
"Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor
the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our
God in their foreheads." (Rev. 7:2-3)
<8>In this time period before
tribulations
(disasters) start, the teachings of the Far East will be brought to
the West. Those who are the servants of
God (Elected
Ones) will become interested in them and familiar with them in
order to become prepared to understand the real meaning which
underlies the reality behind their Scriptures. <9>Also it is
in this time that many will reach a very high level of consciousness
(sixth seal) and are ready to become
Paravipras and be sealed by the seal of
God as His true children.
<10>The four
angels are: The excess
attraction to the external world (Maya),
desire, attachment, and greed. <11>The "earth and the sea"
means people (unit
consciousnesses, sea) in their lower natures (earth).
Chapter 8
"And when he had opened the seventh seal, there
was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." (Rev. 8:1)
<12>When the seventh seal is opened, the
teaching will first be revealed to the Elects. <13>It will
come like a thief of the night, "there was silence in heaven about
the space of half an hour."
<14>With the revelation of the seventh truth,
<15>the mystery of
God will be finished (Rev. 10:7, 11:18, 14:18, 16:17).

revelation of all the verses in The Revelation, read the book

The Revelation.
