The Scroll Taken, The Lamb Crowned

‍

The Lamb who once took judgment for the world will now release judgment upon the world.

‍

Revelation 5:8‍

‍Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

‍

Heaven has been collecting what earth thought was forgotten.

‍

Revelation 5:9

‍And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation…

‍

A bloodless gospel is no gospel.

‍

The Redeemer doesn’t just have the might — He has the right.

‍

Revelation 5:10

“And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”

‍

The reign of Christ on earth is where the covenants converge.

‍

Revelation 5:11-12

‍Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

‍

The One who died for the world is the One who deserves to rule the world.

‍

‍

Revelation 5:13

‍And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

‍

Revelation 5:14

‍Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.
