The Lamb Of Seven Eyes And Seven Horns: The Book Of Revelation
It’s the cross [music] that leads to the resurrection. It’s the cross that enables the kingdom to come. Without the cross didn’t come and we didn’t [music] get saved and reconciled to God, there’d be no kingdom. You can’t have a kingdom if we’re not right with God. I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a book written on the inside and the back sealed up with seven seals. Okay.
First of all, the word that might be translated as a book literally is the word roll. It means really refers to a scroll. The Greek word is biblon from which we get the word Bible. It’s a scroll and it is sealed up with seven seals keeping it from being open. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals? and no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it.
Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And one of the elders said to me, “Weep not, for behold, the lion from the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has overcome to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Don’t weep. And we did this the last time on the lion of the tribe of Judah.
For the lion of the tribe of who is that? That is Messiah. That is Yeshua. That is Jesus. The root of David who has conquered. The word is nao meaning overcome or won the victory or totally defeated. That’s talking about the resurrection. It’s talking about the overcoming of death, the overcoming of the curse, the overcoming of judgment.
He’s overcome. And it’s interesting because it says the root of David. So he is from David but he’s also the root. He is before David. He is the son of David and David comes from him. Verse six. And I saw between the throne or in the midst of the throne four living creatures and the elders.
I saw there in the middle a lamb. A lamb. A lamb as slain. The original word in the Greek here is stronger than what you’re seeing in your Bible. Your Bible may say a lamb as slain. In the original word uh satzo means to butcher. A lamb who is butchered or slaughtered for food or sacrifice or to be maimed and wounded or to be killed violently.
