Do we have a definitive/likely meaning/reference to 5:5?
Revelation 5:5
Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Is this the same as "we have the algorithm?"
Just throwing it out there.
I do not; the very first warning from Elohim was not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because it surely causes death.
When I look at the world, I see people doing just this; denoting things as objectively good/evil, and once they do this, they give their lives living for/against this.
Rather than good/evil, I strive to understand the world in terms of right/wrong. The former is arbitrary, the latter actually requires inner growth.
Good/evil is objective
Right/Wrong is subjective
Correct; who is to say pedos/murderers are evil? Some say it is right, some it is wrong.
Who is the judge?
The point is; we all are. Those who strive to make the right choices find themselves in an ever-increasingly righteous world. Those who strive not for these things descend into a world of lawlessness.
This same lawlessness forces individuals to introspect and come out with a better sense of what is right/wrong. Just like God instructed Noah to build his ark prior to the "flood", we all descend into lawlessness and become surrounded by wickedness.
But "the storm"; the very storm that God uses to expel wickedness is the same storm that lifts up the righteous into a higher state of being.
In this way "good" is a product of "evil" and they are actually one thing. This is why Jesus taught one must make the two one.
This "storm" we are witnessing is like (is) the flood of Noah - not literally, but figuratively/spiritually/symbolically. And so we must all build our own arks in our own minds and ride it out; allow the impure (by twos = good/evil) and pure (by sevens) to come with us as we work out the struggle within ourselves.
Jesus spoke in parables; the notion of "husband" and "wife" is not denoting male/female in terms on persons. It denotes masculine and feminine principles.
In the beginning, ELOHIM created the heavens and the earth. Elohim is androgynous; both masculine and feminine (plural). It is the same as yang/yin, or a merism - two seemingly distinct things actually functioning as one thing.
The notion of husband/wife is a literal/base interpretation. The Bible is 100% mystical/symbolical, it is not literal. The Bible itself claims that those who read by the letter die and that one must be a minister of the spirit of the word.
What one refers to as "God" is thus masculine/feminine as ONE - and so religion effectively destroys the feminine aspects of creation and subjects it to the masculine. For example, examine Islam.
