Good Morning “Priests to Serve our God.” Today we are in Revelation 5.
Continuing from Revelation 4 we find John still in the Throne Room of Heaven. In Gods right hand is a scroll, with writing on both sides. Typically only legal or land agreements had writing on both sides of the scroll - so this is significant. Most scrolls were sealed with a wax seal, that they might not be opened until they reach their intended recipient. This one had 7 seals - it was “perfectly” or “completely” sealed.
“And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.” Revelation 5:2-3
Whatever was in the scroll could only be seen / opened by one that was worthy. John wept at the thought that no one was worthy to open such a scroll.
“Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”” Revelation 5:5
Only One is worthy to open The Scroll. Only Jesus is worthy to carry out the perfect will of God with perfect power and perfect wisdom. What is our response in the presence of He who is worthy? Our response in the presence of our God should be the same as these.
“And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.” Revelation 5:8 NIV
“And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.””
Revelation 5:9-10
We were purchased with the Blood of Jesus - and we will be a kingdom of priest to serve Him and reign with Him when Heaven is established on Earth.
Love you all! Dig in! It’s about to get crazy.
