God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe. Oh yes, he did. I believe we can. So look, A STRONG ANGEL proclaims with a loud voice, “WHO CAN OPEN THIS BOOK???”. God understands. They are HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE at that time. You know as we age, and we go into a doctor’s office and the doctor walks in either holding a tablet of paper or a new tablet that contains information about our health, we become very concerned about what he’s holding because within those notes of that M.D. Everybody does it all throughout their life. [26] Revelation 5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. If for a moment, we can engage our imaginations and step back into time and put on our “Jewish hat,” then our minds would fly back to generation upon generation upon generation of Jews who sacrificed lambs. He was given authority, honor, and sovereignty over all the nations of the world, so that people of every race and nation and language would obey him. But am I really worthy to hold those things in my hand? It was a slain Lamb. In Revelation… All of these seals lead up to the SECOND COMING of OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!!! I once decided I would be very cautious about preaching on Revelation. These churches don’t even look at the Bible. At this moment people in Asia, Africa, South America are praying to and praising Jesus. Let me first set the scene for today’s passage. Well, when you say things like that you should really read the entire chapter or even the next verse. The power of the Lamb! One of the beauties of North Hills Church, and we’ve had other people say it who have visited here, you people sing! I even flirted with the idea of never preaching on anything from Revelation after chapter 3. I'm only saved through the blood of Jesus Christ. Your prayers aren’t junk mail. John took us with him when he accepted the invitation to go through that door into the heavenly realm. This sermon was preached on February 3, 2008.

What they sing is this: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come. That’s a great way to receive the WRATH OF GOD. We see a Lamb as though it had been slain. John looks again at the gem-like figure on the throne and sees that the figure holds a scroll, a scroll sealed with not one seal, but seven, a scroll whose contents remain secret. Do you see what it says right there? are the words of life and death at times. And you might not receive what you ask for because you’re asking for the flesh. Jesus was slain. For me, the process of… Jews have been a people for a VERY long time. Let’s go back to the NEW SONG in Revelation Chapter 5. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: [11] 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Who can get this perfectly unique, secure scroll of the Lord Almighty open? Revelation 5:1. Let’s go back to Revelation 5 and finish up starting there in verse 12. A root is where the plant originates from in the ground. You’ve become the people of God through Jesus Christ. 9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. Jesus is clearly a different person from God the Father. [13] Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. I don’t want any part of that. These elders were so into the moment that at one point they’re flat on their face, the next moment they’re standing back up, and the next moment they’re back down. One of the elders steps out of his role of worshipping the One who is seated on the throne to pull John and us out of our tension. “Then I saw in the right hand of him who is seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.”. Jesus is worthy, and Jesus is our future. [4] Revelation 6:1-2 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. John, stop crying. As this song sounds forth, the two dozen elders cast their crowns before the throne and sing their own hymn celebrating God as creator: You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created. So we can worship. The nation of Israel is not God’s Chosen People.
