The Revelation Chapter Five:
 1 And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a book written within and on the backside sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, " who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?
3 And no man in heaven, neither on earth nor under the earth, was able to open the book or to look into it.
4 and I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and read the book or look into it.
5 And one of the elders said to me, "Weep not" behold", the Lion of the tribe of Jude, the root of David, has won, so he can open the book, and break its seven seals.
6 And behold, in the middle of the throne and the four creatures and the elders, stood a Lamb standing as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out to all the earth.

****************

To find out what is the meaning of the seven eyes of God we read:
Zechariah (4 – 10):
ff For whoever has despised the short days, shall rejoice and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, " These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which range through the whole world.

Plummet, or the rock of stumbling, or the corner stone are names for Christ. The seven eyes are the seven churches and their angels. And this is what Christ, who has the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lamps said.

***********************

The Revelation (5 – 7):
 And he came and took the book from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each had a harp and golden bowls full of the incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
 9 And they sang a new song, saying, " Worthy are you to take the book and to open its seals, for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 And have made us a kingdom and priests for our God, and we shall reign on earth.
 11 Then I heard the voice of many angels round the throne, and the creatures and the elders, and their number was myriad’s of myriad’s and thousands of thousands.
 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.
13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all therein, saying, " To him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever. "
14 And the four creatures said, Amen. And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshipped him who lives forever and ever.

We notice that the four creatures and the twenty-four elders fell and worshipped him who sits on the throne, (Rev. 4-9). And they fell also before the Lamb, (Rev. 5-8). Which means that, "The Lamb is God the Son, the second of the three of the trinity of the Almighty God. The four creatures, and the twenty-four elders who sit on twenty-four thrones round the throne kneel and worship God only.

The prophet Daniel has also seen the myriad’s of myriad’s and the thousands of thousands of angels as in:
Daniel (7 – 10):
 A stream of fire issued and came forth before him, a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousands times ten thousands stood before him, the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.

********************

The Revelation Chapter six:
 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say, as with a voice of thunder, " Come and see".
2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and its rider had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer.
***************

In order to know, "Who the rider is, and what kind of a crown was given to him, and what was his conquest?" We read that in chapter nineteen of the revelation, and we ask, "Who is the rider?" And it says:
The Revelation (19 – 11):
 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat upon it is called, " Faithful and True" and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written, which no one knew but himself.
13 And he was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called, " The Word of God".
 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And from his mouth issues a sharp sword with which he smites the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

Yes, his name is, "The Word of God" his robe was dipped in blood.This leaves no doubt; he is none but Christ himself.

Now let us see, "What kind of crown was given to him, and what was his conquest?" And we read that in:

Mark (15 – 16):
 And the soldiers led him (Jesus) away into the hall called the Pretorium, and they called together the whole battalion.
17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head.

And in: Matthew (27 – 28):
 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
 29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand, and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And in: John (16 – 31):
 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
32 Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered every man to his home, and will leave me alone, and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of a good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Yes, he has conquered the world. He conquered it when he was put on the cross, and he will conquer it further, when he comes back in his glory, when the Father shall put everything under his feet.

*******************

The Revelation (6 – 3):
 When he opened the second seal. I heard the second living creature say, " Come and see."
4 And out came another horse, that was red, its rider was given power to take away peace from earth, and that men may kill one another, and was given a great sword.

***********************

To find out the identity of the red horse, and its rider, who takes away peace from earth with a great sword? We read in revelation:

The Revelation Chapter Twelve:
 1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars .
 2 She was about to give birth to a child, and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven, and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
 4 And his tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne
 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness. Where she has a place prepared by God, in which they should feed her there for a thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon, and the dragon fought,
 8 but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven .
9 And the great dragon was thrown down that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, he was thrown with his angels down to earth.

So we see that the rider of the red horse is the red dragon (notice the color), and to find out who it is? We ask, Who is the woman?

And to understand the meaning of her being clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and the crown of twelve stars that was upon her head. We read in:

Genesis (37 – 9):
 And Joseph dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers and said, "Behold, I have dreamed another dream, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing to me.
 10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers, and his father rebuked him, and said to him, what is this dream? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?
 11 His brothers envied him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

So we understand that Joseph’s brothers are the eleven stars, and his father was the sun, and his mother was the moon, as it was implied by his dream. Here at this point we read, what the angel said to Virgin Mary!

Luke (1 – 35):
 And the angel answered and said to her, " The Holly Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, therefore the holy child which shall be born will be called the Son of God.

As you see, " This woman is clothed by the sun, that is, she is overshadowed by the "Holy Spirit and the power of the Most High. Under her feet lies the transgression of our mother Eve, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars placed, which are the twelve tribes of Israel. The woman gave birth to a male child, who is Jesus Christ, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron."

So as you see, the woman is none but, " Virgin Mary" the mother of Christ, whose son, "Was caught up to God and to his throne." And he sat down on the right side of the Father on his heavenly throne. None but the Son (Jesus Christ) could sit on the throne of God the Father.

It was Virgin Mary, who gave birth to Christ through the pains of anguish of delivery. And it was Jesus Christ, who went through the pains of the cross to establish and build the church.

And it was The Roman Empire, which ruled the world when the Virgin gave birth to Jesus Christ. And it was, " King Herod ", who was authorized by the Roman Empire (the red dragon) to govern Judea, and who stood before the woman, who was about to give birth to the male child, "Jesus Christ", so let us see what he did:

Matthew (2 – 1) :
 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying:
2 Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and we have come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, and he inquired of them, where the Christ will be born.
5 They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea," for so it is written by the prophet,
6 "and you, O, Bethlehem, in the land of Judea, are by no means least among the princes of Judea, for out of you shall come a ruler, who shall rule my people Israel."
7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly, and ascertained from them, what time the star appeared,
8 and he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, " Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed, and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.
11 And when they went into the place, they saw the child with Mary his mother , and they fell down and worshipped him, and when they had opened their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

12 And being warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod , they departed to their own country by using another way.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, " Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child to destroy him.
 14 And he rose and took the child and his mother during the night, and departed to Egypt.
15 And remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet," Out of Egypt have I called my Son. "
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly furious. And he sent and killed all the male children who were two years old or under, in Bethlehem and in all that region, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.
17…19 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying:
20 " Rise and take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead."
 21 And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.

As you see, it was "king Herod", who was authorized to govern Judea by the Roman Empire (the red dragon), who stood before the woman, who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child when he was born. And in order to achieve his purpose, he sent and killed all the male children who were two years or younger in Bethlehem and in all that region. But he did not succeed because God had interfered and sent his angel to warn Joseph of the danger that was coming ahead.

So the woman and her child flew to the wilderness (to Egypt) , where she had a place prepared by God to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, that is,

for three and a half years. That is till king Herod died, then they returned to the Land of Israel.

Now let us see, what kind of fight arose in heaven, between Michael and his angels against the dragon and his angels who were thrown down to earth, to deceive the whole world, so we read in:

Luke (10 – 17):
 The seventy returned with joy saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name."
18 And he said to them, " I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."

And in John (12 – 23):
 And Jesus answered them; " The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 He who loves his life shall lose it, and he who hates his life in this world shall keep it for eternal life. ….
31 Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast out.
 32 And I, when lifted up from the earth will draw all men to myself.

The ruler of the world (the devil) was thrown out of heaven, (where he used to present himself before God (Job. 1 – 6)). That is, when Jesus Christ was baptized, and had sent the seventy disciples saying to them, " Go to the towns, heal the sick in them, saying to them the kingdom of God has come near you."

The Devil fell down like lightning from heaven, after the fight that took place between Michael and his angels against the devil and his angels (Rev, 12 – 7/8/9). Satan was defeated and he fell down to earth, but he has a great wrath because he knows that he has but a short time. And the only one who could see the fall of the devil was Jesus Christ (Luke 10 – 18), and because we can not see the devil, Jesus had to state this and be its witness for us.

As to the question, "How was the virgin’s son caught up to God and his throne?" We read that in:

Mark (16 – 19):
 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

Yes, this is how he was taken up to God and his throne, and he sat down on the right hand of God.

And in, Revelation (12 – 10):
 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, "Now the salvation, the power , the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ have come," for the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them day and night before our God, has been thrown down.
11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death,
12 Rejoice then, O heaven and you who dwell therein. And woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having a great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.
 13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to a place where she is nourished for a time and two times, and half a time.
 15 And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her a way with the flood.
16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed the river, which the dragon had poured out of his mouth.
17 The dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her off springs, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus Christ.
18 And I stood upon the sand of the sea. …….

We notice that Satan is angry because he has but a short time left. And we know that we are in the last period of time, and that Jesus Christ had asked his disciples to go to the people and to tell them, "That the kingdom of God has come near."

So we ask, "How close is the kingdom of the Lord God?
 What are the time periods? And if we try to recall that from our memory, we find that there are, "Three time periods":

The First Time Period ( The Failure ):
 This period represents Adam’s failure and his fall in sin, in which Adam was driven out of heaven, then came the great flood in the day’s of Noah, the flood that washed and cleaned the generations and the earth with the flood water. And this period continued till the time of Abram.

Out of this period, Enoch was chosen as a representative and a witness, and was lifted and taken alive up to heaven, so as to be a witness, who gives testimony about all the people who lived during this first (failure) period.

Saint Paul says in (Heb. 11 – 5): "Enoch was taken up, so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him."

The Second Time Period (The Period Of The Law):
 This period begins by choosing Abraham, and God’s salvation promise. This sacrificial period was symbolized by the ram, which was given to Abraham to be offered instead of his son Isaac.

The period included the delivery of the Israelites out of Egypt under the leadership of the prophet Moses, the entry of Palestine, the rule of King David and till the birth of Christ.

This second period is the period of the salvation by means of the Law and the commandments. It is the period that proclaims and points out to the eternal sacrifice, which God had prepared for the salvation of the world.
