Eastern Orientation

1a Gen. 2:8; "And the Lord god planted a garden eastward in Eden . . . "

1b The "morning star," Venus, rises in the east and is usually the first visible astral body (excepting the moon, of course) for about six months. Then for another six months it becomes the evening star, prominent in the heavens to the west.

2a See L. Hardinge, With Jesus in His Sanctuary, p. 18. Also check J. Ford, Revelation; Anchor Bible Commentary.

3 Locusts could be meant: During the Exodus they were brought on by an east wind.

3a Models of the Herodian temple show the outer court surrounding but positioned in majority to the east.

4 Ancient mythology, and contemporary common knowledge as well, associate dragons with the east. In folklore, dragons "breathe fire," are very fierce, have scales, and anciently some are pictured with several heads. Eastern folklore, especially the Chinese culture, give us numerous traditions, celebrations, and festivals regarding dragons.

4a The "wilderness," from a Palestinian viewpoint was usually considered "East" also.

7b The number 12 is the number of permanence and eternal completion. Twelve figures so strongly in the final chapters to emphasize this.

Eyesight; Optical Recognition

• This parallel grouping does not really include the expressions of John, the writer of the vision, such as; "I saw." Noticed instead are references to subjects in the vision who are able to discern optically actions or situations around them. These parallels therefore are reserved to the "third person," such as in chapter 11:2 where it is specifically noted that "their enemies beheld them," that is, saw them ascend with their own eyes.

Fear; Worship

• The ideas of fear and worship are very closely related, especially in the Revelation. In 14:6,7 are found the parallel thoughts, Fear (God), give glory, and worship.

_____________________________________

4 "Worship," distinctly stated, is missing. However it could be found in the heavenly voices and song in 12:10. However, one can almost picture the woman of the vision, cowering in awe and fear at the "face" of the terrible dragon as he stands before her. The vision itself is a great sign, or marvel demanding respect and worship.

1 A readily apparent answer to this parallel in this section is wanting. It is my belief that a representation of this idea is to be found in this sub-section, however.

2 Thus was Thyatira situated.

3 The sea is distinctly mentioned

4 The plains of Babylon were so flat that Jewish writers sarcastically scoff at the attempts of Babel to build their own mountains.

Four-Dimensional

• The number "four" is featured often in the Apocalypse and in several ways. Four is the number of earthly and geographical completeness. (Dimensional perfection)

Four is associated with:

(1) The cherubim or living creatures

(2) The four corners of the earth, four directions and quadrants

(3) The four seasons (καιρος)

(4) Paradise, Eden

(5) The altar

(6) The inner temple or most holy place

(7) The cities of Jerusalem and Babylon

_____________________________

1 Eden was four-dimensional, split by four rivers. The four-square New Jerusalem re-duplicates this perfect configuration.

--The Persian word "paradeiza" (varied sp.) is believed to mean a "walled garden," and this in most cases would be square. This is reminiscent of Eden.

2 Ramsay notes that Laodicea was built on an almost perfectly square plateau. Ramsay, The Letters to the Seven Churches, p. 305.

3 Obviously four-dimensional, surrounded by four living creatures.

4 Ezekiel 40 and following

5 The city was square, and the best evidence of ancient Babel was square, a ziggurat.

6 Ellen White describes them in a perfect square. Cf. 144,000.

7 Exodus 26, etc.

8 Cf. chapter on Armageddon, Vol. 5.

Harm or Destroy

1a Some translate: "The one who devours." The meaning is similar.

3a Abaddon and Apollyon= "Destroyer"

4 By this we see that the Bible equates the threat of the dragon with "hurting," or "destroying."

3b Whether or not sackcloth was worn on the head we cannot determine. It is known that a person could be "covered" with sackcloth. II Kings 19:1-2; I Chron. 21:16; Esther 4:2; Psalm 69:11; Isaiah 37:1-2, etc.

What is probably significant here is that sackcloth was made of "hair." (Rev. 6:12) which is worn on the head.

Healing Remedy; Therapy

1a Myrrh was used for healing. Cf. description on Smyrna, "Churches" section. Also the Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, Vol. II., "Flora," where the gum is said to have been used as a drug, p. 291.

2a The Good Samaritan poured wine and oil as medicine on the unfortunate traveler (Luke 11:34). Paul recommends wine for the stomach (1 Tim. 5:23).

3 "Salvation" means "healing" for it is from the root σωζω---"to save, or heal"

There were thermal springs near the Sea of Galilee and east of the Dead Sea. "Their warm, sulphurous waters are thought to have healing properties, and many persons suffering from various forms of rheumatism bathe in the springs." IDB, Vol. ii. p. 323. Cf. Gen 36:24, "hot springs in the wilderness."

"The waters of this fountain contain medicinal properties that will heal both physical and spiritual infirmities." 6T 227

4 What is missed by commentators is that Wormwood was a medicine. "Wormwood has also been used widely in folk remedies, one of which is as a treatment for intestinal worms." The Anchor Bible Dictionary, Vol. VI. David Noel-Freedman, Ed. in Chief, Doubleday: New York, etc. 1992. p. 973.

7a Brimstone (sulfur) was know anciently as having healing properties. Our Wonderful World, p. 329, (Vols. 1-18).

Immorality; Uncleanness

The terrible dragon/beast of Revelation 12,13 is probably to be considered an unclean creature.

4 The woman treads upon the moon, thus in Eastern thought putting it in disregard, for she is a "pure" and "virgin" woman. Visibly the moon is not perfectly white, but is besmirched and spotted, (craters) and is thus a symbol of impurity and uncleanness.

It has been known for centuries that the moon has negative aspects. For instance, one speaks of a "bad" moon rising. The word "lunar" and "lunatic" are related. This is because it was believed that the moon caused madness.

Also associated with the moon is the menstrual cycle of a woman, and its association with the lunar or monthly calendrical cycle. Sometimes the word "moon" and "month" (moonth) are synonymous. In Hebrew thought, a woman was levitically and ceremonially "unclean" at the beginning of her monthly cycle and was considered so for several days each month. The woman of Rev. 12, though is "above" this, being with child, yet a pure and holy mother, clothed with Edenic light.

______________________________________

2 We suggest that the meaning of sapphire is not as some suggest, from the Hebrew "safar" which means "to write." L. Hardinge, With Jesus in His Sanctuary, p. 323. It's meaning is betrayed by the Greek transliteration of it, "sap," and "feiros"= (latin; ferrous, iron).

What distinguishes sapphire (lapis lazuli) are the specks of pyrite that glitter throughout the blue or purple stone. Thus perhaps meaning: "blue with iron."

3- Certain types of smoke, particularly burning sulfur can be acrid and evil smelling.

4- If the fiery breath of a dragon is sufficient to kill, we assume that a horrible stench attributed to the monster would be more fitting than a pleasant aroma.

Says Job of Leviathan:

"Out of mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth." Job 41:19-21

[Refer also to Isaiah 27:1; Psalm 104:26; 74:14; regarding Leviathan, a beast living in the sea and thus could be described as "coming up out of the sea." (13:1)]

5a "Foul" (κακος) "bad, evil" must mean "foul-smelling" as well, for medically, infection and putrefaction of such sores are without doubt unpleasant in odor and sight to which any medical professional can testify. The "foul spirits" (18:1-3) are the same as the "unclean spirits" of the plagues. Unclean, foul, and loathsome, they are in every way evil.

[Seven examples are likely intended though it is difficult to establish a clear reckoning. The reader is encouraged to make an attempt such as the following: Dead bodies, the grave, sulfurous waters, fire and sulfur (brimstone), foul and evil sores, burning flesh, a dragon's breath. Other substitutions might include rotten oil or wine, the corrupt or abominable things referred to in the final chapter, or the cage of unclean birds or spirits.]

Martyrdom

3a The horns of the altar is the place of blood, blood of remembrance and atonement (Exodus 30:10). The voice from the horns, represents the spirit of the righteous, those who have found salvation and atonement.

Adonijah and Joab laid hold of the horns of the altar because they hoped to be "saved" from conspiriatory guilt (1 Kings 1:50, 51; 2:28) The coming of the Messiah (Jesus) is heralded as the raising up of a "horn of salvation" in the house of David (Luke 1:69)

Mountain; High Place

4- *The "place" the woman flees to is "topos," (τοπος) from whence the word "top" comes. The "topos" of the city was usually the central high place, often the agora, square, or acropolis. It could be the high point of the city, such as the Athens Acropolis. Such town squares still exist, the central part of a city, even called the town square. The topos infers a four-square arrangement. Interestingly the woman's home is called a "topos," a high place equating well with the mountainous home of the exiled church of the Dark Ages.

6a "Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, ye from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 51:53
