Let’s consider now the principles of the Messianic kingdom. The ordinary human projects are incorporated within the existing time. This is done according to the current time, by tergiversating and adjusting to various bad guys, "to cave in under the changeable world".

The Project of God has a fundamental difference. It did not tergiversate nor adjust to anyone. The Project of God creates its own wave of time, and goodbye. Ready or not, here I come.

The new history will be vivified by the Eucharistic power of God, the power of integral time. We’ll have our own time, the very particular time, the sacred time. This is described, in detail, in the sixth chapter of the book of the prophet Zechariah. We have to examine this power, literally, to learn how to interact with it, to rise above Creation, become horsemen of integral being.

The power of God is energy of the time of favour: “The spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has anointed me to bring the good news to the afflicted. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives, sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord” (Luc 4-18:19).

A year of favour means the time. We are talking about time of integral being, when the world is gathered in whole, and then the grace of God is manifested.

In the system of biblical symbolism, one of symbols of grace is a white horse. Generally, horses signify the integral forces of Creation. The Angels represent a subjective energy; it’s like an individual singer in a choir, while the horse is a sobor of Angelic forces, an entirety of all the energies of Creation, smoothly operating according to specific scenarios.

If Angels can undertake any maneuversaccording to the will of God, the power of apocalyptic horses acts always and everywhere in the same way, regardless of time and space. These are the laws of being on which are built the spiritual life of man and family, people, civilizationand history, the whole being.

Let’s consider the biblical text: «Again I raised my eyes, and this is what I saw: four chariots coming out between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze» (Zechariah 6:1).

"To raise the eyes" means conceptually move to the height of the Seventh Day in the area where act the integral forces of Creation. "Two Mountains" are two halves of being: earth and heaven.

At the beginning of the world there is the Lamb. He refracts Himself, dissolves, and all the energy of God disperse into heaven and earth, so to speak. The result is a Creation in all its multifaceted complexity.

Then the Lord sets a goal to mankind: to know the Project of God in its entirety. That is to say, to gather, in mind, all dispersed energies of Creator. And when someone on Earth gathers, in his mind, the whole Project of God, then a significant event occurs in Creation: this same mountain appears in Creation, in fact. One of the mountains symbolizes earth; this is the same height which ascends the Chosen One. This same Chosen One who is mentioned in Psalm 24: "Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob (Psalm 24:3-6).

The Chosen One must be every Orthodox Christian. The holy people are entirely composed of Chosen Ones: “Next in my vision I saw Mount Zion, and standing on it the Lamb who had with him a hundred and forty-four thousand people, all with his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads” (Apocalypse of Saint John 14:1). And all people are Chosen Ones; all people are riders on white horses.

Every Orthodox man must gather, in his mind, all the puzzles of the Project of God. And thus, he builds a mountain of the Lord,in his heart, and ascends it. And when he rises to the height of the Seventh Day, he is able to interact with the heavenly forces of the Holy Spirit. The energy of the Holy Spirit is represented by the second mountain of bronze. It is an assembly of all the Heavenly forces.

Thus, one mountain represents earth, the other - heaven. The Heavenly Mountain represents a sobor of all the Angelic forces; there is the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven. Therefore, the sobor of all earthly energies is headedby terrestrial Orthodox Tsar. This is why there are two mountains which represent the Tsar of earth and the Queen of Heaven.

To interact with God is only possible in an integral format, after climbing to the height of Zion, to the height of the north. In other words, to the height of the supreme wisdom of God. Only here our earthly mountain is able to interact with the heavenly mountain of the Mother of God. And, by crossing these streams of earth and heaven, is born the Eucharistic strength of the Savior that bursts into our world on a wave of new time, blessed by God. And it bursts like battle chariots.
