*The Seven Sealed Book*
*Revelation 5:1-7*
* *
*Introduction:*
In Revelation 4 John was given a glimpse into heaven.
He focused on three things:
· Gods position
· Gods power
· Gods perfection
In Revelation 5 John continues this glimpse into heaven 5:1
*I.
**The Seven-sealed Book in the hand of God vv.
1-4*
* *
1.
What the book is: literally a scroll
Sealed with seven seals: placed in such a way that they must be broken in
succession
Similar to a Roman will which must be sealed seven times
2.
What the book contains:
~*Events about to be unfolded in the Book of Revelation
~*As a seal is broken judgment will be poured out
-an act of God’s mercy that not all poured out at once
~*Book is full: written within and without
God’s judgment is full and complete
God’s judgment is not rash and haphazard it is thought out~/planned
*II.
**The Pronouncement that is Made*
* *
*1. *Made by a strong angel v. 2
*J.B.
Smith*: “The vision opens with three notes of emphasis: a strong angel – only twice more is reference made to a strong angel in the book, viz., 10:1 and 18:21.
The angel proclaims-not merely says.
The word signifies to announce as a herald.
With a loud voice denotes urgency and great concern….Who is the strong angel making the challenge?
The answer is doubtless, Gabriel, the one who ordered the closing and sealing of the book of Daniel.”
*2.
*Content of the announcement:
“Who is worthy….”
v. 2
*John Walvoord*, “It is evident that the contents of the book are impressive in character and require the power of God for their revelation as well as for the execution of their program.”
*3.
*Answer to the announcement v. 3
No one is found worthy anywhere to open the book
For what it is worth: Makes me think of Genesis 2:18-20
John Walvoord thinks that this was done to impress John with the
importance of the contents of the revelation contained in scroll
I think that it was done to impress with the person of Jesus Christ
*4.
*Reaction of John to announcement v. 4
Why did John weep the way he did?
Was it because he greatly desired to see what was in the book?
*III.
**The One Worthy to Open the Book vv.
5-7 Obviously this is Jesus*
* *
1.
He is shown worthy by His description:
1)Lion of the tribe of Judah
Genesis 49:8-10 out of Judah would come Messiah
Lion also to me refers to the King of Beasts: Jesus is King
2) Root of David
Isaiah 11:1 “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of
Jesse and a Branch shall grow out of his roots….”
Again when I think of David I think King~/Throne of David
When think of highly esteemed kingship of David have to realize that Jesus is greater: Matt.
22:41-46 “before Abraham was, I was”
3)He prevailed (overcome) to open the seals of the book
*Adam Clarke:* “By the merit of his incarnation, passion, and
death.”
I would add to that also by His resurrection
He has overcome all and is worthy
All points to His Kingship and Sovereignty
Application: He is deserving of no less than first place in our lives
For what do we push Him aside?
Pleasure, earthly gain, etc.
2.
He is shown worthy by what He does and has done
1) He stood: so far those around throng have been seated or have fallen
Here Jesus stands before the throne
~*He is a lamb: 28 times in Revelation
Gen.
22:8 “God will provide Himself a lamb”
John 1:29 “Behold the Lamb of God”
1 Peter 1:19 “as a lamb without blemish”
~*He has the marks of suffering: “a Lamb as it had been slain”
For all eternity we will see those marks and remember how we got
there!!
Interesting that we look forward to whole, perfect bodies in heaven yet Christ appears as “a Lamb as it had been slain”
~*He is in the midst of the elders
2) He came and took the book from the right hand of God v. 7
Exodus 33:15-23 Read: Moses is told He cannot see God and live
Now Lamb come before the throne and removes a book from His hand
3) His description:
Seven Horns: symbol of power and strength
Bambi’s dad in movie
Seven eyes: He is searching and all knowing
Seven generally refers to completeness: Complete power and knowledge
Application:
We are to worship Him because:
He is worthy
He is victorious
He is the Lamb slain
No where does it show worship because it benefits us in some way
