"Revelation," Andrey said, "is an oracle. It is the vision shown by the Holy Light to a certain believer, which may be a display predicting the future or a portrayal of some symbolic, virtual things, yes, just like the dreams we have experienced. Those chosen believers naturally possess personal traits worthy of the Holy Light's praise.

The revelation serves a prophetic function and carries warnings, but we believe more firmly that it is a symbol of one being recognized by the Holy Light. Destiny is always elusive; instead of harboring fears over a potential future, why not live in the present."
