Book of Revelation – Chapter 5

John sees a book or a scroll with seven seals. God holds it up for someone worthy to take the scroll and open the seals. But no one is worthy; no man, no angel, none who rule, none of all God’s creatures. What does the scroll represent? The scroll represents the title deed to the earth and coming judgments. But silence follows with no one worthy. At this point, there has been no sign of the Lamb (the Lord Jesus Christ). But at that moment, He steps forward into the spotlight, filling the universe’s stage with His presence, every eye on Him with endless applause erupting throughout heaven. Christ takes the scroll. As long as it remains sealed, Satan will completely control the planet.

Jesus stands as a Lamb as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, representing the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. The seven horns speak of powerfulness, and the seven eyes represent knowing everything. The Lamb of God (John 1:29) earned the right by redemption to the earth’s title deed and is the only One worthy to open the seals. He is worthy of being praised for time and eternity because of His sacrifice. Everyone in heaven breaks out in praise and singing and amens!

Next, opened seals and revealed judgments get discussed in Chapter 6.
