4. Kiev - Second Jerusalem
Bogdan Georgievich LisitsaIn 988 Vladimir the Great made Christianity the state religion of Kievan Rus, it was an offshoot of Byzantine Christianity. But this Christianity, unlike Byzantine, was without vice - it did not recognize the power of the Roman emperors. In Kievan Rus, the head of state and church was the prince, who was from the Rurik dynasty, which was an offshoot of the Merovingians, which means that the prince was a descendant of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. In 988, a complete analogy of Ancient Israel appeared. Europe is the ten tribes of Northern Israel, and Kievan Rus is an analogy for the Kingdom of Judah and Benjamin. Belarus is the new Benjamin. Kiev is the Second Jerusalem.
The peak of the spiritual development of Christian civilization was during the time of Prince Vladimir the Great of Kyiv and his son Yaroslav the Wise. Vladimir the Great corresponds to King David. The name Vladimir means "owner of the world", the name David means "king of the whole world." Prince Vladimir the Great was a new incarnation of King David. Yaroslav the Wise corresponds to King Solomon, the son of David, the wisest king on earth. Both are united by a connection with wisdom. King Solomon built the Temple, and Yaroslav the Wise built the Temple of Sophia / Wisdom in Kiev. Also, both are united by the main Temple. Yaroslav the Wise - it was a new incarnation of King Solomon.
At that time, Europe was a single spiritual space, a Christian civilization. There was no division into East and West, into Orthodox and Catholic churches. The main authority in Europe was the Grand Duke of Kiev Vladimir the Great. After him, the main authority in Europe was his son Yaroslav the Wise. The basis of his power was not the force of arms, but the authority of Truth. Yaroslav the Wise is known as the father-in-law of all Europe. He married his children to princes and princesses of various European countries.

Orazio Gentileschi is an Italian painter of the early Baroque era. His painting depicts a woman whose clothes are a combination of yellow and blue. She holds in her right hand the attributes of power of the defeated enemies, their crowns and sceptres. In her left hand she holds her own scepter, the caduceus of Hermes and Thoth. This scepter is symbolically associated with the pineal gland, the organ of intuition. Next to her lies the horn of prosperity. This Woman is Kievan Rus.
Immediately after the death of King Solomon, the kingdom of Israel was divided into the northern kingdom of Israel, consisting of ten parts, and the kingdom of Judah, consisting of two parts. In 1054, after the death of Yaroslav the Wise, Christian civilization was divided into Catholic Europe, consisting of ten parts, and the Orthodox world, the basis of which was Rus.
