The term “earthquake” appears in the Book of Revelation seven times. The number “seven” has great significance in the Bible. However, the sevenfold occurrence of the concept of “earthquake” in the Book of Revelation is a result of the use of John’s patterns, which reveal Mary’s dignity as “the Mother of the Lord.” Furthermore, the magnitude of these earthquakes corresponds to the Greek expression ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ κυρίου μου (Luke 1:43). Thus apocalyptic earthquakes are evidently linked to the Mother of the Lord.
PL
Pojęcie „trzęsienie ziemi” pojawia się w Apokalipsie siedem razy. Liczba siedem ma głębokie znaczenie w Biblii. Jednak siedmiokrotne występowanie pojęcia „trzęsienie ziemi” w Księdze Objawienia jest wynikiem użycia wzorów Janowych, które ujawniają godność Maryi jako „Matki Pana”. Ponadto, wielkość tych trzęsień ziemi odpowiada greckiemu wyrażeniu ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ κυρίου μου (Łk 1, 43). Apokaliptyczne trzęsienia ziemi są więc wyraźnie powiązane z Matką Pana.
