Chapter 3 The Admonitions to Evangelists
and the One who Conquers [2]
[3-1] "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write : 'The words of him* who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. |
* him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars -- The great guiding spirit "one like a son of man." Refer to the text [1-13~16].
* your works -- The skill for practicing Jesus Christ's teachings, that is, how to teach, the method of guiding.
* being alive -- Being physically alive.
* you are dead -- Your mind is dead in the spiritual meaning, that is, you do not rightly understand the laws of God.
* Awake -- Awake to the right teachings (the laws of God).
* strengthen -- This means that the their faith is shaky, then you teach them the rightness of faith.
* on the point of death -- The meaning that they are close to death in the spiritual meaning, namely, they are just before depraved.

Since this evangelist does not rightly understand Jesus Christ's teachings, when God looks at his mind with the spiritual viewpoint, God says, "he is dead." Then, what the state of mind is alive? It is in the state where the spirit "shines," namely the light of God is pouring into the mind (, that is in the state tuned to the mind of God), therefore, the direction of the will and the wish must be right.
Although it does not write that he has "the seven spirits of God" in the description of the text [1-13~16], which introduces the great guiding spirit "one like a son of man," from the expression of the text [3-1] "....... him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars," it turns out that two or more divine spirits which are the representatives of God exist, furthermore although the names of the seven divine spirits does not appear in the Revelation, this divine spirit is the existence representing them.
[3-3] Remember then what you received and heard* ; keep that, and repent.* If you will not awake,* I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you. |
* what you received and heard --You need to remember how your mind caught and your ears heard Jesus Christ's teachings.
* repent -- First, man has to notice the sin in his will, wish and conducts, second has to examine the cause, and third has to promise God to correct the inclination of his mind.
* awake -- Rightly understand Jesus Christ's teachings. Awake to "the true laws of God."

The description "I will come like a thief" means that God can know secretly man's "will, wish, and conduct," furthermore God has the capability movable to every global place at an instant and the capability to appear simultaneously in two or more space. That is, this is the word which shows the attribute of God, simultaneously this has the very deep meaning in connection with the essence of spirit. It is the fact that the very big difference is between God and ordinary spirits, however ordinary spirits can also have the homogeneous capability except the difference of grade.
[3-4] Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments* ; and they shall walk with me in white,* for they are worthy. |
* people who have not soiled their garments -- This dose not mean garments that the flesh has on but garments which the mind has on, and this is the expression which shows the state of mind spiritually. That is, they are those who have the mind which is not shameful before God or who have the mind which is purely right.
* in white -- In white garments. The same meaning as the above-mentioned.
* the book of life -- The list of those who believe in God, practice the laws of God and follow with God. Or the list of those who awoke to the essence of life and spirit. Refer to the clause of "The Essence of Life" in Chapter 6 of Part 2.
* my Father -- The God the Almighty Jehovah.

The word "life" means the essence of life, that is, this is the word related to all the functions and the characteristics of spirit. Spirit is the life energy, namely it is the undulation in which the breath of God dwells, therefore naturally, it has the laws about life. (It is called the laws of God or is called the teachings of God.) Therefore, there should be the law about the tuning of wavelength, the law of creation and destruction, and the law of evolution .... etc. "The book of life" may be like the management document for recording "the spiritual evolution" for every individual.
[3-6] He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' |
Although the great guiding spirit "one like a son of man" (refer to the text [2-7]) has said this text, "the Spirit" here suggests "Moses" who is one of the great guiding spirits of about 10, and he has told the description [3-8~12].
[3-7] ¶"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write : 'The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David,* who opens and no one shall shut, who shuts and no one opens. |
* David -- In BC1000 age, he was the king of Israel for about 40 years, and he set Jerusalem to the capital.
Although the great guiding spirit "one like a son of man" has told so far, the another divine spirit is introduced here. Since David is the king who unified Israel as the state, this text suggests the divine spirit who knows the key, that is the secret. What is opened or shut, is "gate or door," therefore this symbolizes "the people's traffic," then if you consider this more deeply, you will be able to understand that "the livings of people" is shown. In Israel, the divine spirit who has "the absolute authority" as the norm of "the livings of people" is just "Moses." Therefore, the word "the holy one and the true one" suggests "Moses." (Refer to the clause of "The Great Guiding Spirits" "Moses" in Chapter 7 of Part 2.) (From [3-7] to [3-12] : Free translation )
[3-8] ¶"'I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door,* which no one is able to shut ; I know that you have but little power,* and yet you have kept my word* and have not denied my name. |
* an open door, which no one is able to shut -- This is the door which only God can open or can shut, and that is the gate which symbolizes the entrance to Heaven. That is, this shows that "you" in the text have the qualification which can go into Heaven.
* you have but little power -- The meaning that "you" have but little social power (financial ability or physical strength).
* my word -- The teachings of God, Savior's teachings, the laws of God.
* those of the synagogue of Satan -- Those under the influence or the rule of Satan, or those who profane God. (They cannot recognize being influenced by evil spirit Satan at all, and they think rather that they are completely right.)
* I will keep you -- I will keep you from the trial of convulsions of nature, war, illness, and the spiritual attacks by evil spirit Satan, etc. (It does not necessarily mean protecting him physically.)
* the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world -- The trial which is going to be given to humankind like the Mu civilization or the Atlantis civilization. This has suggested the crisis of humankind's fate in the present age.
Anyone who love God with the right faith, can receive the love of God. Although God originally also loves those who profane God and those without the right faith, they have interrupted the love and the light of God themselves by "the cloud," which has wrapped their mind. "Those of the synagogue of Satan" believe Satan as God, even if they say the words which profane God, they themselves do not think those words to profane. The text [3-9] means that by using a miracle, God will show to them "your God" is truth and will make them notice their God (evil spirit Satan) is the imitation. The word "I have loved you" shows which God is truth.
The true meaning of "my word of patient endurance" in the text [3-10] is as follows. When slanders or abuses are showered over those who evangelize Savior's teachings, what correspondence is suitable to the laws of God? It is not mere endurance, that is, the true endurance means the mental state which can pass the wave motions with malice called slanders or abuses through the mind without stopping. That is, "my word" is the teaching about the method of patient endurance for not holding the poison of slanders or abuses in mind.
The true meaning of the word "to try those who dwell upon the earth" is as follows. There are many who pray to God and call his name. However, there are few who practice the teachings of God, and live every day making efforts to maintain the state of mind, which is not shameful to God. God has said that the time of trying "whether people love God truly with true faith" is coming on the whole world, however God used the word of "try" as the expedient, because God already knows every man's "all mind" in fact. Rather, you should understand "The trial is going to be given by God to man as learning of his own spirit.
[3-11] I am coming soon ; hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.* |
* your crown -- "The crown of life" in the text [2-10]. The crown or the decoration conferred upon those who kept the kingdom in mind. (Refer to the clause of "The Crown of Life" in Chapter 6 of Part 2).
* never shall he go out of it -- This is the following meaning. That is, if the Savior born to the world on earth has returned to Heaven after corporal death, he will never come out to the world on earth. In fact, divine spirit has been born in rotation once in several 1000 to this world as Savior, however in the same civilization it will be rare that the same divine spirit comes out, moreover, terrestrial humankind may be unable to discriminate him.
* the new Jerusalem -- After the greatest trial and the crisis of fate in the history (of the present civilization) of humankind, which God will give to the world on earth, God will build the city for many souls (spirits) who ascend to heaven. (However, you should understand that the recognition that humankind caused the crisis himself is right. God knows it, and is going to save humankind and is going to create the new civilization. The trial exists as the process.)
* from my God out of heaven --The word "heaven" does not mean the terrestrial sky. The world after death is divided into many dimensions by the undulatory principle, and "heavens (skies) and earths (lands)" exist as many layers. That is, this word "heaven" means the boundary of upper dimension.
* my own new name -- Moses who has the key of David and has the absolute authority to Israelis (refer to the notes of text [3-7]). One terrestrial name of Savior increases whenever he is born to the world on earth, attains the spiritual enlightenment, and teaches or guides people, therefore "new name" means the newest name in his history. (Refer to the clause of "Moses" in Chapter 7 of Part 2)

Here, you the readers have what should be kept in your mind. That is, this text is the word as the representative of God Almighty (Jehovah) rather than Moses's word, and here is the reason Moses's name is shown by the suggestion. The spirit called Moses who exists in Heaven is not "Moses when being alive in the world on earth," that is, one Part of all energies that this divine spirit has is the consciousness called Moses. Moreover, God Almighty (Jehovah) is the general term of the ten highest leaders (Gods on the Earth), such as Jesus Christ, Moses, and Gautama Buddha. If you consider the above, you will be able to understand Moses's "such wording" (after-mentioned).
[3-13] He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' |
* the Amen -- This suggests Jesus Christ here. Although two meanings are in the word "amen," about this, refer to the clause of "Jesus Christ" in Chapter 7 of Part 2.
* the faithful and true witness -- The faithful representative of the God the Almighty Jehovah, that is the Savior.
* the beginning of God's creation-- This is the word which suggests the following. Namely, in the ancient times when it is farther than the creation of humankind's soul, the great guiding spirits of about 10 who are the highest leaders of the spirit group on this Earth, were created by God in the higher dimension. (Refer to the clause of "God" in Chapter 7 of Part 2.)

[3-15] ¶"'I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot.* Would that you were cold or hot ! |
* neither cold nor hot -- This points out that your will and wish are imperfect and random as an evangelist.
* I will spew you out of my mouth. -- Any longer I will not give you the spiritual protection of God, that is, it is the meaning that you need to become alone and reflect on yourself. It is also the suggestion that those who are continuing efforts and devotions can get various "guidance of God" as the form of inspiration, however those who are not so cannot get inspirations from God. (Since inspirations from evil spirits also exist, you be careful.)
* I am rich, I have prospered -- Wealth and prosperity in the meaning like material or money.
* I need nothing -- He is convinced that I don't have corporal inconvenience and mental trouble, either.
* blind -- The meaning of that "the eye of mind" is not open. He dose not have the capability to perceive the essence and truth of matters, and it is because he has not thoroughly mastered the laws of God.
* naked -- This points out that he cannot catch the love of God or does not have the capability to distinguish right and wrong. It is because "the way that should be of his wish and will" is not right, furthermore the understandings of "the teachings of God or the laws of God" is not right, as the result, the state which his mind easily tune to the wave motion emitted from evil spirits is produced, that is, in the spiritual viewpoint, he is defenseless against the attacks of evil spirits, namely his mind is naked.
* gold refined -- Crystal of the wisdom of God, that is, the laws of God.
* you may be rich -- The meaning that mind is rich. Those who can catch the love of God. Those who has the purely right mind, rightly understands the teachings of God, and makes efforts in the practice every day.
* white garments -- The word "garments" suggests the clothes which mind has on, that is, the state of mind. "White" is the symbol of having "the right clean mind" and "the right faith."
* the shame of your nakedness -- When God looks at man who has not awaked to the laws of God, its state is completely the same as he has exposed the shame of corporal nakedness.
* salve to anoint your eyes -- It is the same as that of the metaphor of the word "gold refined by fire." This suggests the crystal of the wisdom of God, that is, the laws of God.
* that you may see -- Perceiving the essence of matters. Having the capability to distinguish right and wrong.

When you imagine that God looks at a terrestrial man, moreover when you awake to the worth of spiritual life, when you understand that the world on earth is the temporary place for spiritual training, probably you know easily what man is "wretched, pitiable, and poor," and what man is "rich."
"Refined" is pure and is that there is no mixing of foreign substances, and "gold" is the pronoun of the highest material value, that is, the word "gold refined by fire" has suggested the crystal of the wisdom of God, and is specifically "the words of God, the teachings of God, or the laws of God." "Buy" is the word which suggests studying the laws of God.
It is as follows about what man is "rich" truly. It is very important that man has the right clean mind and the right faith, however, just it is not enough. When man studies "the laws of God" deeply and practices it, he could get the wisdom of God, that is, man who got much of the wisdom is "rich" truly. Specifically, it is man with the high capability to perceive the essence of matters, man who can continue giving unconditional love, man who can let others live truly, and man who can forgive others. Those who study the laws of God could certainly find out the way and the method for becoming such man, and in this stage, at least he will begin to follow the way to rich.
[3-19] Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten ; so be zealous and repent. |
* I stand at the door -- "The door" means the door in the depth of mind. That is, this is the meaning "I stand out of the door in the depth of your mind, and I am waiting for you to open it."
* knock -- The meaning of whispering to your mind.
* opens the door -- Opens "the door of your mind." The concrete explanation is as follows. When man "reflects" on each of his past deeply, the wave motion which his mind is emitting, becomes gradually close to the wave motion of God, and, as the result, he can tune the wavelength of his mind to God. That is, man can acquire the capability for communicating with the high dimensional world. The word "door" means spiritual path.
* I will come in to him -- I will enter his mind and will talk directly to him.
* eat with him -- This means that he can live truly with God in his daily life.

Those who believe in God and have the way of life which is not shameful to God, everyone of them can accept a lot of the love of God, spiritual energy, or energy of life. However, those who have the shameful way of life to God, cannot accept them. Although God loves all humankind regardless of good man or evil man, in order to accept the love of God, the wavelength of mind must be able to tune to God. For the sake, first you have to remember each of your past, and next comparing with the mind of God, you have to check "the conduct, the will, and the wish" at that time, and if you may be ashamed to God, you should wish the forgiveness of the sin to God, if you damage another mind, if it is possible, you should wish the forgiveness directly to him, if it is impossible, you should wish the forgiveness to him in your mind. In the following stage, you should consider the cause for why such the result was produced, and then you have to know inclinations and characteristics of your mind. When you will be again in the same situation as the last time, in order to be able to perform the conduct which is not shameful to God, you have to recognize clearly the inclination of your mind, and it is important to engrave it on your mind deeply.
And you should try hard modifying the inclination gradually into the right direction, because inclinations of mind are the portions which lack or are distorted in spirit. God will be most pleased with such your daily efforts, if you consider the love of parents to children, you should be able to understand it easily.
[3-21] He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne,* as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.* |
* my throne -- The divine spirit which told this is Jesus Christ. Therefore, this means "the Savior's throne" which he sat down, when he attained the mission of Salvation and returned to Heaven.
* his throne -- The throne for the God the Almighty Jehovah. Please observe the point that "my throne" and " his throne" are expressed in the same rank, that is, this also has suggested that the throne for the God the Almighty is the same rank with the throne for Savior (the representative of God).
【Free translation】 |
The word "conquers" in this text means the spiritual enlightenment of the highest grade as Savior. The expression "with my Father" suggests that "Father" and Jesus Christ are the same great guiding spirits. Although Jesus Christ, Moses, Gautama Buddha, etc. are the guiding spirits of the highest grade (the divine spirits) in the spirit group on the Earth and about 10 great divine spirits exist, "Father" and "the God the Almighty Jehovah" are the titles of honor which names these divine spirits generically as the expedient. And this time, another Savior is in the same position which Jesus Christ called "my Father" when he was in the world on earth, that is, Jesus Christ and other divine spirits are called "Father" from the Savior who will be sent to the world on earth. About the reason called "Father," please refer to the clause of "The Savior" and "God" in Chapter 7 of Part 2.
