The book of Revelation is written largely in symbols.

The Bible is God's Word expressed and revealed to his creature, man.

The earth is yet the place of the domicile of man and all the offspring of the first man.

Man is more than merely an animal to exist and propagate his species. His mind gives him capacity to search out the great truths in God's arrangement and this lifts him far above the other animal creation.

The Bible is God's sacred Word of truth.

If you are kept in ignorance of the true way and permit yourself to rely upon and be guided by the opinion of imperfect man, you can never gain the riches that will bring you peace and lasting happiness.

By his own efforts man could never gain the true and desired riches.
