The book of Daniel seems to be as complicated as The Revelation of Saint John the Theologian,at the first look. In fact, quite a simple system on which is based all human history, opens to us. All canonical predictions of the biblical prophets are registered in this system.
What is this system? There are the aspects of the spiritual structure of Creation. At the highest level of angelic forces, through which the Creation turns from nothingness into being, the world exists outside of time and space, in a state of absolute integrity where past, present and future are united into a single bloc.
At this level, all that is secondary is rejected. From all epochs of several centuries, the essential things, all that constitute a spiritual essence of time, are cut out. Then, the most important are enveloped in an appropriate symbol. As a result, all kinds of fantastic creatures appear. If all animals from biblical revelations could be brought together, we would get the most curious zoo in the world. In fact, for the person initiated in sacral knowledge, all these animals represent a great value. It’s because all these animals belong to the same "zoo", in reality. And all their symbolic attributes come from the same semantic system. If we have the key of this system, the doors of future open to us! All these prophetic books have a strongly pronounced specific orientation.
"The Apocalypse" mainly describes the structure of Creation, the system of spiritual forces which are at the head of this structure. "The Apocalypse" is an integral description of Creation from the outside. The Book of Daniel is concentrated on internal contents, the history and events which occur inside Creation.
It is about the separation of the form and content. This system is based on the Dogma of the Holy Trinity where God the Father is subdivided, so to speak, primarily into a form-essence and a content-life, then re-unite into His entirety. The being of the world is constructed in the same way. God gives revelations to His prophets so that all predictions could register in the structure of the Holy Trinity. And what seemed disparate and unrelated is united in whole to the end of history.
Daniel's prophecies are represented as a single block where the same picture of eschatological period is examined under different angles. The described events are, at the same time, in touch with the epoch of the Fifth, the Sixth and the Seventh days. That’s why, it is necessary to examine them, primarily, under the same temporal aspect. And then,in a linear sequence. The prophet Daniel describes four main visions. All visions represent the specific points of view on the same subject. All revelations are initially constructed according to the system of the Holy Trinity and are subdivided into a form-content.
In the second chapter, under the aspect of a gigantic statue, is shown the object of study. This object represents a power. All history of humanity is an uninterrupted battle for power. There are two diametrically opposite Projects: the Project of God and the Project of evil. Every part tries to attract as many people as possibleand to establish its own worldwide government system. Finally, an absolute power of God will be established in all Creation. So, the essence of power is revealed in this revelation. We will examine this aspect, in detail, in a separate issue.
The next vision is described in the seventh chapter. Here, before the prophet’s eyes, appear four big beasts coming out of the sea. And if, in the previous vision, it was about the external aspect of power, the ways of its historical development, now it is about the internal structure of the global Kingdoms of eschatological period. Everything is described here: orthodox civilization, world wars, matrix of New World Order, collapse of "The Great Prostitute ", post apocalyptic world and manyother things which we will also examine in the next issue.
The visions of the eighth and eleventh chapters relate primarily to the epochof the sixth-seventh day. The tremendous history of future events is described here. It is for this reason that they become accessible right now to the collective consciousness. The epoch is characterized by two main aspects. It is, firstly, about the particular state of time, when all human history will meet in the same block. Secondly, it’s about the particular state of space, when future events will develop on the scale of all historical universe.
God created the World in an undivided way. The visible world is currently cut off from the invisible world; this is against nature of being. In spite of the fact that everybody, who lived in the sixth day, is accustomed to this order, there will be greatest worldwide turmoil with the advent of the sixth Day, the Day of the Anger of the Lamb.
They are conditioned by natural historical development. When the terrestrial world will grow up to the celestial world, then all historical world will unit in a single whole. And finally, not only the Celestial Church will meet with the visible world, not only the Mount of Sion will be included in terrestrial world, but also the domain of hell, the pit of hell will be inserted, so to speak, in our terrestrial reality. The New Jerusalem, which we prayed for during the very long centuries, will finally appear. This will exceed all expectations…
For some people, it will be in the form of seven bowls of sanctity, seven bowls of beatitude which will be poured out from the Mount of Sion. For others, everything will bevice versa. The new world will be transformed into nightmare for them as it is described in the Apocalypse under the aspect of seven bowls of God's wrath poured on sinners. It will be fun andscary…
That is why the visions of the 8th and 11th chapters are characterized by their integrity. They represent two civilizationnal projects, in all theircombat power. The history of the confrontation of two universal kingdoms unfolds under our eyes. And information is introduced here in the same format of the Holy Trinity.
The object of study is examined from two points of view, by itsform andits content. Through theimage ofconfrontation betweena ram and a goat is described the internal spiritual struggle of two civilizationnal projects. Through theimage ofconfrontation between the Kingdom of the South and the Kingdom of the North is described the geopolitical struggle in the external world. The battle betweena ram and a goatunfoldshorizontally; it is a confrontation between East and West. The confrontation between the Kings from the East and the technocraticcivilization of Cainitesfrom the West. The battle of the King of the South with the King of the North is played, consequently, in the vertical plane. In general, it will be a particularly dynamic epoch with greatest upheavals and big miracles, different very interesting details about which we will speak the next time.
