THE SEALED BOOK ,[object Object]

John sees a book in the right hand of the one on the throne ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Ezekiel had a similar experience ,[object Object],[object Object]

The book John sees is sealed with seven seals ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The apparently insurmountable problem ,[object Object],[object Object]

Isaiah described Israel as a people to whom God's word was sealed ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

THE WORTHY LAMB ,[object Object]

One of the elders tells John not to give up hope so quickly ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The "Lion of the tribe of Judah" comes from Jacob blessing his sons ,[object Object]

He is also identified as another OT figure - the "Root of David" ,[object Object]

David was the son of Jesse & Jesus is the pre-eminent son of David! ,[object Object],[object Object]

The Lord promised an heir to David's throne ,[object Object],[object Object]

Psa 89:20-37 WEB ,[object Object]

This is a staple of the apostolic preaching in the New Testament ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Paul made the same connection. ,[object Object]

The voice says the Lion … of Judah & Root of David has "overcome" ,[object Object],[object Object]

The Lion has overcome ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The literal translation is "standing as one having been slain" ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The Lamb was actually killed ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Isaiah had described the Messiah in terms reminiscent of this ,[object Object]

There can be no doubt who this Lamb is ,[object Object],[object Object]

It reminds us of other passages about our redemption ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

It has "seven horns and seven eyes" ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

John saw the lamb do what no one else in creation was worthy to do ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

WORSHIP OF THE LAMB ,[object Object]

In Revelation 4, all eyes had been on the throne ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

John's situation is unique vis-à-vis every human before, or since ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

And when Jesus enters, all heaven erupts with praise! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

This is the New Testament counterpart to the "Song of Moses" ,[object Object]

That is the way the concept of a "new song" is used in the scriptures ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

In Rev 14:3, we will read of God's people who have been delivered ,[object Object],[object Object]

Then, just a chapter later, we'll read again of the overcomers singing ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

His death purchased men from every tribe, tongue, people and nation ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

His death made these people into a "kingdom" and "priests" ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The chapter began with a question: "Who is worthy?" ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

But "who is worthy" to take the book out of God's hand and open it? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Every created being joins in the act ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The Old Testament background of this entire scene is Daniel 7:9-14 ,[object Object]

In that grand vision, God is seen on the throne, ready to judge ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Ready or not, God's enemy is about to be judged! ,[object Object],[object Object]
