Reading the Pictures of the Apocalypse

THE REVELATIONS OF JOHN SEEK to tell us what will happen in the course of time. The Apocalypse is written in pictures that express the appearance of the eternal spirit of the world. John, who beholds them, is to record these highest mysteries.

We are, to begin with, concerned with seven communities, represented symbolically by seven lamp stands and seven stars. The stars are the communities' geniuses watching over them.

In the second vision John sees the four apocalyptic living beings, the lion, the bull, the eagle, and Man, surrounding a throne where sits the spirit of God. Twenty-four elders are sitting around the throne of the spirit of God. “And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.” (Rev. 5:1) A lamb opens the book. The book contains, with the opening of the first four seals, what is expressed symbolically in the four apocalyptic riders; with the opening of the fifth seal the martyrs appear. These are those who have lifted themselves up to knowledge and life in the spirit. The opening of the sixth seal is followed by a horrible earthquake. With the seventh the revelation becomes audible: the seven trumpets sound forth. Mysterious pictures are then revealed; for example, a being whose legs are like two pillars, one foot stands in the sea, the other on the earth. “Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. He had a little scroll open in his hand.” (Rev. 10:1,2) John must eat the secret of this book. Then a woman appears dressed with the sun, and the moon at her feet.

We read further: “And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads.” (Rev. 13:1) The sound of trumpets accompanies this vision. The victory of good over evil is shown us in a picture. A beast is shown which, in a certain sense, is supposed to represent to us the principle of evil. It is the beast with seven heads and ten horns.

Then a beast appeared with two horns like a lamb, a beast that will appear in the future. “Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the first beast ... And it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave to be marked on the right hand or the forehead so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast, or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom; let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six.” (Rev. 13:11,16–18)

If the edge length of a rhombic triacontahedron is a, the surface area will be:



In geometry, the rhombic triacontahedron is a convex polyhedron with 30 rhombic QUADrangular faces. 
It is an Archimedean dual solid, or a Catalan solid. 

12 x 30 = 360

36 x 4 = 144

The surface area of a rhombic triacontaëder;

A^2 = 144 x 5 x a^4

A^2 = 12 x 3 x 4 x 5 x a^4 

Revelation: 21 - 17
Also, he measured its wall, one 144 cubits, according to a man’s measure, at the same time an angel’s.

Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason 
it has been referred to by ancient cultures as the Morning Star or Evening Star.

“I, Jesus, sent my angel to bear witness to ​YOU​ people of these things for the congregations. 
I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright morning star.”
