More on that later in the program but now let's get started with today's teaching here is Alan writing the world around us, with eyes of Jesus within God within is the one seeing God without God is both the object of my saying on the subject does act of all real see the tears the veil to the holy of holies gives me the only seeing that I have been lost and now I'm found and I sing it softly. Be thou my vision unloaded my heart everything in our life would change and be corrected. If we could see it through the eyes of Jesus. Verse seven the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man in the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight for almost always represents the created order.

There we speak of four ends of the earth north and south and east and west.

There's a rabbinic saying that is very ancient. That said, the mightiest amongst the birds as the Eagle the mightiest amongst the domestic animals is the bow the mightiest amongst the wild beast is the lion in the minus mightiest amongst them all is man so very well be may be that this is a reference to what is concern considered to be the highest created order amongst each of these categories. So all of the best of creation is encircled around the throne of God and worship revelation for verse eight and the four living creatures, each of them with six wings quite resistant reminiscent of Isaiah 6 are full of lies. There's allies again all around and within each day and night they never cease to say holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty was and is and is to come is if you really were to get a revelation of God.

Everything within you would say, holy, holy, holy and and and it's almost just mercy from God that we don't have the continued revelation of his Shekinah glory. We couldn't do anything else but we'll get a spiritual body.

One day, and will be able to do everything that God never intended for us to do. I can barely make it through a sermon without weeping over this image and how you gonna clean your house or take your car to the mechanic if you just completely can't say anything but holy, holy, holy. Sometimes you have to say other things, but these around the throne of God can't say anything but holy, holy, holy. Every other word. It tries to come out for work to holding come up here and see this Jesus is see that whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, that the 24 elders, verse 10 fall down before him who was seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne thing where the are you Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things are not into the good part of the sermon yet to see they lay their crowns down not because God asked them to what you see this because I think to completely understand this topic. We understand it, separate moments. This is one such for me and moment you get this we discovered that the greatest happiness you can never have is completely forget about yourself and think only of him. It must be the very nature of heaven complete self forgetfulness where we are no longer subject to the shame of wanting what others think of us and all we really care is adoring him compare and see this where everything that encircles the throne takes its greatest joy and delight in magnify his name is my greatest joy and why ever settle for lesser things. I don't know is the greatest joy you could ever have to participate as one amongst myriads and myriads of millions and millions upon myriads of millions to just praise his name and we come to chapter 5 I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals and I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice. Now this is a mighty angel huge warrior who says hello is where the scroll and break its seals is great scholarly debate of the meaning of this scroll. What does it represent one things for sure it is in the Roman world, a legal document because only a few documents were sealed in this manner, and only a few had writing both on the inside and outside so long story short, they take papyri paper that had been made for the comparison and and basement light 8 x 10 sheets that then are attached horizontally, more or less glued in simplistic manner at the edges and then put into the scrolls will be gone so the scroll would be. This is way up a book this word in Greek big deal as always read left to right is the scrolls unfurled.

This way you closing up this way and when is a legal document had to be tested and sometimes for the most important legal documents would have seven different witnesses that would be there to witness it and it would receive seven wax seals. That's clearly what were saying here and most likely not all scholars agree on this, but it it is, it's my confirmed opinion that this is an image of a last will and testament. Clearly this is fitting for what we know we know a lot about Roman wills and how they were sealed how they were executed and they would have running on outside and inside be sealed with seven seals, and preferably would only be open if the seven original witnesses were there.

Nobody could just legally open this except by proper authority. One commentator has misread it point blank is said to be on this word though there may be a variety of interpretations that the most simple member of the Asiatic churches knew that it did. Lyons made fast with seven seals was a testament and when a testator dies, the testament is brought forward, and when possible open in the presence of seven witnesses who sealed so we can't say for absolute certain but I think it's best to think of yourself as an heir of God and to think of this is God's will and testament in this scroll. Therefore, the assurances of God's promises for you in this scroll, there is the destiny of the cosmos in his plan to make a new heaven and new earth there and this scroll is the guarantee of judgment against evil and the guarantee of unmerited favor for those who are in Christ Jesus. There, in this scroll is the assurance of raining forever with Jesus Christ. There, in this scroll is what Paul had in mind when he spoken Colossians 1 and said you have been guaranteed your inheritance in the saints because you been fully qualified, fully qualified. This is what I think Paul had in mind when he spoke in Ephesians 1 of us being blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ what's in this scroll is a whole hope of your life, the means by which you have become seated with Christ, the means by which you are healed and set free. What's in this scroll, the assurance of heaven in your healing and your joy and your hope.

The restoration of life. The hope for your marriage, the lifting of depression, the deliverance of evil, the presence of God to you the assurance that that that prayer of yours is being answered by God and heard by hand. The care of your life. The provision for your life. The promises of God for he has his eye on the sparrow, and this scroll is the inheritance of every good thing and every perfect gift for God ever intended to release to you that is always been in his right hand and always been his will to pour out upon your line that and so much more than this scroll right will have more teaching moment from today's important series is a misty place when you float around on crowds and pluck angelic types you are in for the surprise of your life.

Pastor Alan.like today's teaching you once again is verse three and no one in heaven on or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it and I began to weep. John said loudly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look into it. He knew in the spirit that every treasure was in that scroll he knew in the spirit scroll must be open all over the world was in that scroll. He knew it and there was no one in this vision, no one was able to open and he was waving loudly.

He was wailing because no one could open it. I'm vision is like a scene from the legend of King Arthur works. Merlin magically has placed the sword into the stone and announce. Whoever could remove the sword would be the one that is the rightful king of England and according to the legend, every strongman in the land team to try to pull it out. None could one day young Arthur came and when he took hold sorted just seamlessly came out because he was the right one might imagine the scenes are like that that the Angels all the first to try to attempt to open the scroll should seem like a easy thing to do, just a scroll with some seals on it. Maybe it started with a lesser Angel member Clarence from it's a wonderful life I like to see Clarence going over to try to open it class that I could open and I was able to save George Bailey, I was able to take them and see what his life would have been with the world would've been without him surly I could just open up a little scroll. Clarence goes over and tugs at it and pulls at it strange that he can't open it. So another bigger Angel comes as a let Mama try and some stronger angel comes over and says I have I have protected many a person in this world. I have I have stayed giant accidents from happening before they ever took place can be that scroll cannot be open. Maybe the proceeds until finally Gabriel come trumpeted the news of the birth of Jesus and certainly can open up this good news as well and he pulls up to straighten. Maybe Michael himself calms and brandishes the sword that he used in the spirit to defeat the principalities over Persia and takes that brandished spirited sword and lays it upon the seals and they do not break who can open strong this archangel. Heaven can't open. I just envision the father saying beloved. Some things can't be opened by force and some wise Angels and this must be opened only by father and God said no it is not for me to. This is the inheritance for humanity. It is for human so every human can you imagine it from Adam, the father of humanity was originally given the promise to have dominion in their comes and tries open the scroll in Canton.

Abraham was blessed to be a blessing, and through him all the nations of the world. Be blessed in he tries open and he can despite all of his faith. Perhaps Moses and Joshua, and David who had all the Philistine Giants and Concord and so many battles comes tugs with all his might uses all his strength all his faith he can't open it may be the martyred apostles, one by one and and all the while John sweeping, wailing loudly in his heavenly vision verse five. One of the elders said to me, weep no more weep no more will hold the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered, he could open the scroll and its seven seals weep no more do not. We over this scroll anymore. There will be much to weep about in this world we lose we grieve and we will weep, but do not weep over this scroll anymore for the thing that is most important is time to quit crime. The grief is been misplaced. John there is an answer. There is one who is worthy of a lion of the tribe of Judah, and you just imagine you know that this lien now is not appear in the vision with his giant call just call open the wax seal and open up the scroll, but instead verse six between the throne and the four living creatures, and among the elders.

I saw a Lamb standing sword been slain with seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out all seeing all spirit and went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. You know the word for lamb.

Here is the diminutive form little lamb. It should be translated Lamb can make any said you think it takes great strength open the scroll, but instead a little lamb little fluffy who has been who is been obviously slaughtered in his blood all over, and yet somehow was standing. That's the image that he had the lamb who takes away the sin of the world and he and he alone, one who is both God and man human who can take this and open on behalf of humanity. But God would never send and therefore paid the perfect price he has ransomed us all verse nine and they sang a new song, saying where they are you to take the scroll and open his seals, for you were slain by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation made them a kingdom and priests to our God we become a kingdom where the priests of God. We were welcomed into the throne room and they shall reign on earth is a new song one Angels couldn't sing because I never said I never knew how sweet it is to be forgiven if they don't know what is like to be renamed. This is the redemption song. You alone are worthy because you shut your blood you paid the price. I look verse 11 and heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders and the voice of many angels, numbering myriads and myriads and thousands and thousands say with a loud voice where they is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing. Jesus is on the throne is not important omission on the throne is not the powers of hell on the throne is not a pandemic on the throne is not your problem is on the throne as Jesus INN Lamb powerful enough to destroy the loving enough to save the world. The Lamb has taken away the sin of the world and he sits on the throne of grace, mercy, Concord grace cosmos and all blessing has been placed into Christ. All inheritance is in Christ anyone who is in Christ anyone who trusts in him.

Anyone who receives and anyone who believes on his name becomes a co-heir with Christ in all blessing that should've been reserved for him alone is opened up in the scroll becomes yours. What is there to do but join in the chorus of worship and circled around that throne and gladly appropriate, the fullness of your inheritance and have every confidence that grace wins an evil loses where the is the Lamb who sits on the throne and Nancy got Alan Wright or good news message today.

If you think it's only natural for us to feel some kind of a conflict there is like humility in saying that we run dessert it's undeserved but at the same time using the language like ownership now have a deed it's been given to me in an and accepting that it is a maids is it's a delicate balance. Daniel between our humility in Christ and our confidence in Christ and would have both.

It is also to say that Jesus is in this imagery both lien lion of the tribe of Judah and Lamb. And so even with Jesus, his power and confidence is Lord of the cosmos was released through the humility of counting himself a servant all and so that's that's the picture we get in Revelation 4 and five the lion is also the Lamb, which I think you're right is an invitation to this to live with utmost confidence that the victory has been accomplished and we are coheirs with Christ, while the same time having the same attitude is Christ Jesus one that's of humble servant is here to bless the world today's good news message listener supported production Alan Wright Ministries
