Revelation Chapter 5
Worthy Is the Lamb
“Just as we saw the 24 elders and the 4 beast fall down and worship God in Rev 4:9-11, in turn they witness that Christ is now able to open the book and to be worthy of worship. This next verse, in symbol, is saying that wisdom, justice, power and love...
Right about now many are probably thinking to themselves this all seems much too complicated, the Gospel of salvation is not supposed to be this complicated it’s supposed to be simple, viz. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved," (Acts 16:31).
This is true for the most...
So then from what we have gathered thus far in order for us to become participators in Christ death we must not only be willing to share in his baptism, his sacrificial death, but we must likewise be willing to drink from his cup share in the experiences which he endured, the sufferings, trials...
In our last post in answer to the question: What is pictured by the Cup?
We had determined that the Cup was a picture of the Sin Offering experiences of Jesus and the Church, of the sufferings, trials, ignominy and self-denials he endured and what all who would be joined to the body through his...
In the Communion or Memorial Service two emblems are brought to our attention, the bread and the cup, here though our focus is upon the cup. (Excerpts here were taken from an article entitled, Why two emblems? by Brother George Tabac)
What is pictured by the Cup?
The Cup is a picture of the...
"Are ye able to drink of the Cup that I shall drink of ?” (Matt 20:22)
“We might think of the word Cup as representing various experiences of life-that everybody has, his or her Cup of mingled joys and sorrows. But Jesus used the word in a different sense. When He was in the Garden of...
"Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death (Made participators with him)?" (Rom 6:3)
What does it mean to be a participator in Christ death?
How do we participate with him in his death?
It might be helpful if we first asked about his...
What does it mean to be baptized in the Holy Spirit?
As was mentioned in our previous post the baptism of the holy spirit came upon the Church at Pentecost and as such has continued with us even unto this day.
To be baptized in the holy spirit is to be baptized into Jesus Christ, and to be...
We have put together the following in response to our friend Dave’s comment on our post in which we had stated:
“The Scriptures make a distinction between the faithful of the past who were moved by the holy spirit, and those during the Gospel age who are begotten by the holy spirit. Both have...
Revelation Chapter 5
VERSE 6 “And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”
AND...
Words and Phrases
The Seven Spirits
The expression, THE SEVEN SPIRITS, occurs four times in the book of Revelation. A comparison of these usages reveals the likely interpretation of the meaning.
Rev. 1:4: shows the seven spirits BEFORE THE THRONE —a symbol of the position of SERVICE.
Rev...
Revelation Chapter 5
VERSE 5 “But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”
BUT ONE OF THE ELDERS: (Those which we saw introduced in Chapter 4)
This verse could be very...
Revelation Chapter 5
VERSE 4 “So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.”
SO I WEPT MUCH: It is certainly possible that the literal John had this reaction. The expectancy aroused by Chapter 4 would have him in great anticipation of the...
Let us now take a look at 1 Cor 2:9-14
Verse 9 “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man (the natural man), the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
Verse 10 “But God hath revealed [them] to us (The New Creation) by his Spirit; for the...
"Grieve not the holy spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." (Eph 4:30)
So then if the holy spirit is only an influence per say, how can (it) be grieved and/ or insulted?
"Quench not the spirit." (1 Thess 5:19.) To quench signifies to extinguish, as to extinguish a...
The Spirit of God, Part 1
"Grieve not the holy spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." (Eph 4:30)
“This scripture is cited to prove that the Holy Spirit is a person, the argument being that only a person can be “grieved”. It is significant, we believe, that...
Revelation Chapter 5
VERSE 2 and 3 “Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals? And no one in heaven OR ON THE EARTH OR UNDER THE EARTH was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.”
“The same unworthiness which was found...
Revelation Chapter 5
VERSE 2 and 3 “Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals? AND NO ONE IN HEAVEN or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.”
“The Apostle was impressed with the...
Revelation Chapter 5
VERSE 2 “Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”
THEN I SAW: Here is another marker. John wants now to draw our attention away from the hand and book and toward something else.
A STRONG ANGEL: Who...
“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of (or from) all nations, tribes, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands” (Rev 7:9)
This particular company is said to be STANDING...
