(Revelation 5:6-10) "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Let's not read over any of this. But soak it up, absorb from heart to mind. As the seals are coming to do just that as well. God is overall showing us many things here. Control being one which the world wants. From individual controlling their own reality with Him through the blood of the cross for our sins at the crucifixion, to the whole world outward. Silly nwo, Proverbs 28:1 (among the rest of the Bible) thanks be to the Lord Jesus Christ. We fear nothing, no man, no satan, no fallen angel, no evil spirit(s). Who will stand for Jesus Christ? To help the rest of His creation?
(All attention on Jesus Christ now for what He did. The image if the invisible of God that is in the Spiritual realm we cannot see in the flesh. Coming as Savior and Lord to us-ward. Immanuel, "God with us." To come to relate to us in everyday. Beginning at the cross our belief/repentance for our sins for His blood. Let's understand something as well. Why the blood? Why does their have to be blood? We will do this direct study later. Of course, from the very heart where we pump from giving life to us to relate, only way we can. We are a violent people before salvation! Some would try to deny that. I've seen it before, then hours later they are watching blood sport movies, etc (Nothing wrong in themselves general basis, but get real, we live in the world, not of the world as well). That is why we need saved (in part, none of us our righteous overall), we are full of hypocritical silliness in cognitive dissonance. The fruit says one thing, but the tree has other ideas (why we're called to be lumberjacks, getting to the root of the problem, cutting it off, and start new, a new tree planted by the Lord; Matthew 3:7-11; Luke 3:7-10; Matthew 7:15-23 among the rest of the Bible). I, of course, use certain terminology to understand where world's terms are in the Bible. The Holy Spiritual terms, to relate).
Actions do not match beliefs. Motives do not match words. Works does not match mouth. Such is life before salvation.
Okaydokie, moving on... 4 Living one's properly said, not beasts. Though they oppose the beasts in the positive. Why the difference? Them beasts are dead beasts prowling/stalking/preying. These living one's do not act like animals, they do what the Lord says without option. 7 always stand for Spiritual completeness. The 7 eyes for the 7 continents/dominions in Revelation 13:1 that oppose in the positive. Showing they are pulling nothing past God. He is watching, in control. God goes through much for us to understand this. Without this satan has already won your mind, heart first. From doubt to chaos, a world of confusion. The awesome 7 Spirits directly in the next study. Though we covered an overview in the last study. This can also be found in Zechariah 4, along with the 4 horns of power in Zechariah. Which will be a key study in understanding all of God's Word. To understand the time of the gentiles, where the tribe of Israel are now, thus God's plan.
(Zechariah 4:10) "For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth."
(This is when the 2 witnesses do come. The Holy Spiritual measuring, double pouring of the Holy Spirit and a huge morale boost for the Lord's Army. Which opposes satan's army. Get that Gospel Armour/Armour of God on. Man/woman up. As I stated before change your thirst for blood. Remove all bitterness, hate, strife, evil, Spiritual blood to wanted physical blood from the heart in the wrong, and put it on satan).
(Zechariah 4:7) "Who art thou, O great mountain (mountain of Babylon, nations coming together as one when satan claims to be Christ/God in the role of king of babylon)? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it."
(So key, because when the 2 witnesses show up this verse happens. That headstone in remembrance of Christ. Grace through faith at the cross. THE gift of God. Love wrapped at both ends. Love to plan it, compassion to mercy to forgiveness, releasing us from judgment, and love to carry it out being innocent in all animalistic brutality that put God in the flesh on the cross. Exactly that order).
God is watching all.
Moving on to Revelation 5:7,
7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
(There is that right hand of power. The judge, authority, control).
8And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps (God loves good music), and golden vials full of odours (sweet smell, one of the 5 Holy Spiritual senses), which are the prayers of saints.
9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
(There it is that blood. Blood for blood, out own He took in punishment for us-ward. We're getting ready for the seals, which only He can open, and nothing hidden as satan and man operate. Which this is very important to, and will be a huge theme in the coming studies. That is how they operate. Secret blood offerings too).
Can we truly, honestly, sing this song about the blood on the cross for our sins? If not, we need to take a very deep look, soul-searching, our own life why not. Better than everyone else? Opinions? Opinion and mind shut off now? Because of the heart. No one likes being told that, I know. That is irrelevant and just the point. Getting over self, out of self-denial, and to deny self (the flesh for the Holy Spirit). Beginning at the cross.
10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."
(Kings and Priests. As Christ was from tribe of Judah and Levi. Making Him King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. We are talking the Millennium i.e. thousand year reign to the eternity. Millennium = Revelation 20. Eternity = Revelation 21 and 22).
God has given you one gift young man. God bless you.
