by repeatedly reaching the level of a Buddha in past lives. The last known winner in Truth was Shakyamuni Buddha. The next winner in Truth according to Buddhist predictions will be Maitreya. However, Maitreya will descend to earth only after five and a half billion years. John's final visions of the triumph of the Lamb date back to that distant time. The Lamb and Maitreya are one and the same person. Since this level of the winner in Truth is achieved due to the repeated attainment of the level of a Buddha in past lives, the Lamb cannot sit somewhere in one place for a long time. If the savior sits all the time in Tushita heaven, and then suddenly descends from there towards the end of kalpa, as some Buddhist schools mistakenly imagine, nothing will work. Because you won't be able to win. To become a real winner, you need to be reborn very, very many times, and you need to be reborn many times in the world of people. Because, having been born precisely in the world of people, you do not remember how you achieved something there in a past life. Having been born in the world of people, at the very least, through a tree stump, you reach the state of a Buddha and die almost immediately, because the life of people is very short. Then you are born again, and again you remember nothing. Again forced in the dark, by touch, to seek this awakening and liberation. And then again and again, again and again. Until this attainment of Buddhahood just happens automatically. And thus, it turns out that you and I live in an era when the Lamb has already reached the state of a Buddha, and, again and again, reaches this level at each of his births. And the Bible reflects some of these births in the form of an epic about the appearance of the Lamb. In some Buddhist schools they say: just think, nothing special, he's not a winner yet. It is profound ignorance to say that there is nothing special about the appearances of a real Buddha on Earth.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies – the indication to listen to the sounds of nada is given precisely to those who overcome at all levels, which indicates the importance of this help precisely for those who overcome.

All gifts to the conqueror reserve for him getting into the new Jerusalem, which will appear at the end of the kalpa, and which is described in the last chapters of Revelation. All messages to the overcomer do not rather teach him, but motivate him. What is written in the "Epistle to the Churches" after the word "overcomer" is addressed to the one who walks the path of becoming a conqueror in Truth. Since no other winners in Truth are expected in our kalpa, it can be argued that the text after the word “overcomer” is addressed primarily to the Lamb personally, his next incarnation.

Seals (ch. 4-7)

Chapter 4

After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, "Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this."

Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads. Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!"

When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying, "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!"

The throne in heaven – is the dwelling place of the Almighty.

Voice like a trumpet… One sitting on the throne that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius… There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at… Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. – This is another description of the Trimurti. Trimurti is the highest God in samsara. He has his superiority not by location, but by spiritual level. He has a spiritual level higher than the gods of the upper causal. It is located geographically lower, and the spiritual level is higher. He is the buddha of all buddhas. He is the savior of all saviors. He is the
