　The word "the first-born of the dead" in the text [1-5] indicates what after Jesus Christ was put on the cross, he substance-ized himself and revived temporarily, and appeared before his apostles. The word "the ruler of kings on earth" means that when God looks at Savior in the world on earth spiritually, compared with all kings and leaders, he has overwhelming wisdom, furthermore the full powers in the world on earth are granted to him from God. Therefore, such expression is used. (Please refer to the clause of "The Savior" in Chapter 7 of Part 2.) The word "dominion" in the text [1-6] is not the meaning of physical power, rule, or government, either. That is, this is the word which suggests that the full powers for creating the foundation of the following civilization in the world on earth are granted to him from God, or he has the great authority as the representative of God.

　The word "... and has freed us from our sins by his bloods" in the text [1-5] is the following meanings. The theory of Atonement is famous, that is, this explains that Jesus Christ died in order to atone humankind's sins. However, man's sins should not be atoned by such act. In order to atone sins, everyone has to reflect on his past conducts and the way that should be of his mind, and it is important to examine the cause of past conducts (the inclination of his mind), furthermore, he has to continue efforts to make his future life suitable to the child of God. The above is the only way man can atone his sins. Savior Jesus Christ's birth was "the proof of the God's Love to humankind." Jesus Christ left many teachings about "the true love." By being put himself on the cross, Jesus Christ taught "the true faith" to humankind.

　When considering the mind of God, it will be clear that the greatest sin is "the lack of faith to God." Therefore, the word "... and has freed us from our sins ...." shows that it has become the clear memory historically that Jesus Christ was put on the cross, many people in future generations have continued awaking to "the true faith," and when we awake to faith, we are freed from our sins. For man who is training for the growth of mind in the world on earth, it is also the most important "spiritual enlightenment" to recognize the actual existence of God. The meaning of the text [1-6] is the prayer that "we wish the teachings about love by Christ continues giving the light forever to people in the world on earth."

　When John was arrested and put into the prison of the island called Pathos, this is the scene which John's spiritual eye looked at. John's soul separated from his flesh (astral travel) and was led by Jesus Christ who rode on the clouds, and he ascended to the world of God in Heaven, then he looked at the humankind's future before God. And he wrote down it to hand down to future generations, this is the Revelation to John. The meaning of this text is that supposing all men in the world on earth looked at Jesus Christ who had ridden on the clouds in order to lead John, they were surely surprised.

　"Three words," which is the very deep suggestion showing the Almighty God, appears in the Revelation, and one of them is the word "I am the Alpha and the Omega." Although "alpha and omega" are the characters of the beginning and the last in Greek, simultaneously this is the suggestion which symbolizes the essence of "word" itself. Although there is the word "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" ([1-1] in the Gospel, According to John), this means that God created all by "the Will and the Wish." In the real world, the undulation of "the Will and the Wish" are all, and in the world on earth, as the result of expressing that, it becomes "the Word." That is, this is the word of suggestion that I am the Creator of the spirit group and the real world on the Earth (that is, heavens = skies, and earths = lands, namely dimensions in the spiritual worlds). This word "heavens = skies, and earths = lands" means that although many dimensions (worlds) exist in the real world, "a heaven or a earth" is a boundary between a certain dimension and another dimension, and a heaven is a boundary of upper dimension and a earth is a boundary of lower dimension (Please refer to the clause of "God" in Chapter 7 of Part 2).

* the Lord's day -- Sunday

　"The Spirit" in the text [1-10] is one of the highest leaders, or the great guiding spirits, or the divine spirits, who guide the spirit group on the Earth. Although Jesus Christ or Moses is also one of the divine spirits, the divine spirit whose name does not remain in the present civilization, namely, we do not yet know is called "the Spirit" in the Revelation. The expression "I was in the Spirit" is the meaning of "I was wrapped by the aura of the great guiding spirit." (Please refer to the clause of "The Great Guiding Spirits" in Chapter 7 of Part 2).

　Various words for expressing the divine spirit called "one like a son of man" are repeatedly used in the text, which continues behind. By using the descriptions about the clothes, the tone of voice, etc., the Revelation has expressed that it is the same divine spirit, therefore please memorize it. He is the great guiding spirit with very big power, and although the seven Spirits (the great guiding spirits) who do not have the name, in addition to the three Spirits Jesus Christ, Moses, and "the one who conquers" (the one or the Savior who attains the spiritual enlightenment), appear in the Revelation, as you read this book, you will understand gradually that he is the divine spirit representing the seven Spirits. (Please refer to "One Like a Son of Man" in the clause of "The Great Guiding Spirits" in Chapter 7 of Part 2).

* a sharp two-edged sword -- This word symbolizes the sword which distinguishes right and wrong, that is, suggests the wisdom of God, namely the words of God (the Laws of God). The spiritual wave motion which the words of God has, has the effect like "a sword" to evil spirits. Refer to the clause of "A Sharp Two-edged Sword Issued from his Mouth" in Chapter 7 of Part 2.

　The description "his eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, ........, and his voice was like the sound of many waters," expresses the hugeness of spiritual energy, therefore this has suggested that this divine spirit is the great guiding spirit with very big power.

　Although the word "I am the first and the last" is one of "the three words" which suggest the above-mentioned the Almighty God, since I already explained this theme in full detail, please refer to the clause of "The Almighty God" in Chapter 7 of Part 2.

　The description "I died and behold I am alive for evermore" means that this divine spirit (the great guiding spirit) also has had his life as a man in the world on earth (it is not necessarily our Earth), and he has said that I also have died physically, but I have the eternal life. That is, this text suggests that the essence of life is spirit and spirit has eternal life, and as for you, it is very important to understand this text obediently.

　The word "Death" of "the keys of Death and Hades" does not mean corporal death. At the time of death, souls who have completely lost the freedom of mind by panic, fear, self-alienation, autosuggestion, etc., that is, which are the state of apparent death in spiritual meaning, will merely be disorderly adrift in the four-dimensional space. That is, "Death" is the place for gathering up such souls and is the extraordinary protection camp. "Hades" is the place where souls are temporarily protected after usual death, that is, this is the ordinary protection camp. Each of these exists in the entrance of four-dimensional Posthumous Realm (Refer to the text [6-8], [20-13, 14]).

　Although the word "the keys" means the keys for solving the secrets, this has the very deep meaning. Although the system for the evolution of spirits is the transmigration of souls, if the spiritual training in man's life in the world on earth is compared to "a cast" played on a stage of theater, when the stage finishes (corporal death) and the spirit returns to his greenroom (being in the real world), he should hear the comment (that is, the guidepost to reflection) about his performance (about his life) from his leader (the spirit with the role of guiding and protection for him, that is Guardian Spirit). That is, it is like the above meanings that the dead are judged after dying, and the word "the keys = the secrets" of "the keys of Death and Hades," means "the system of reflection" about what man passed his life with free will and free selection in the world on earth. (For details, please refer to "The Transmigration of Souls" in Chapter 6 of Part 2.) When you understand spiritually the world on earth, the worlds in Heaven and the worlds in Hell, you should come to know that the text [1-17, 18] is the word which has suggested "the one who knows the secret about the essence of spirit," or "the one who created the system."

　These two are the texts with the very deep meaning, which shows the relation between the transmigration of souls and the essence of life, and the relation between the world on earth and the world after death.

* the mystery -- The suggestion that it has the important meaning.
* the angels of the seven churches -- All evangelists of Christianity in the world.
* the seven lampstands-- The laws of God or the teachings of God gives a streak of light to those who sank into darkness, therefore this word symbolizes the light source, that is, means churches with the qualification.
