DIVINE AND INFERNAL SYMBOLS OF APOCALYPSE AS GOOD AND EVIL IMAGES
Petev Nikolai Ivanovich
Vladimir State University named after A. G. and N. G. Stoletovs
Abstract. The author discusses the problems of the symbolic images of the Apocalypse divine and infernal forces, considered by secular ethics. The Revelation of St. John the Divine includes a set of symbols and images. The complexity of this question is that it is impossible to interpret these symbols unambiguously. They are filled with great meaning, and so specific and unambiguous interpretation would be incorrect. Nevertheless, there are certain symbols that are interpreted identically by different authors. Divine and infernal symbols in "Revelation" are opposed to each other, as the personification of the struggle between the forces of evil and good, and it is one of the most important questions of ethics.
Key words and phrases: символы, символизм, образы, добро, зло, конец света, "Откровение", Господь, Агнец Божий, Зверь, symbols, symbolism, images, good, evil, end of the world, "Revelation", God, Lamb of God, Beast
