PASSIONATE PURSUIT...REVELATION 5

LET’S TALK ABOUT JUDGMENT…
WHO IS WORTHY?

AND I SAW IN THE RIGHT HAND OF HIM THAT SAT ON THE THRONE A BOOK WRITTEN WITHIN AND ON THE BACKSIDE, SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS.
AND I SAW A STRONG ANGEL PROCLAIMING WITH A LOUD VOICE, WHO IS WORTHY TO OPEN THE BOOK, AND TO LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS THEREOF?
AND NO MAN ON HEAVEN, NOT IN EARTH, NEITHER UNDER THE EARTH, WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE BOOK, NEITHER TO LOOK THEREON.
AND I WEPT MUCH BECAUSE NO MAN WAS FOUND WORHTY TO OPEN AND TO READ THE BOOK, NEITH TO LOOK THEREON.
AND ONE OF THE ELDERS SAITH UNTO ME, WEEP NOT: BEHOLD, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDA, THE ROOT OF DAVID, HAVE PREVAILED TO OPEN THE BOOK, AND TO LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS THEREOF.
ON THE RIGHT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STRENGTH, POWER, MIGHT, HEALING, AND DELIVERANCE.
DAVID PENNED THAT THE LORD IS ON HIS RIGHT HAND THAT HE SHOULD NOT BE MOVED.
THEREIS A BOOK IN THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD WHO IS THE RIGHTEOUS JUST JUDGE. SEVEN IS SYMBOLIC OF THE KINGDOM OF THE LIVING GOD, HIS SEVEN CHURCHES, AND HIS SEVEN SPIRITS OF JUDGMENT (ISAIAH 11). IT ALSO REPRESENTS AUTHORSHIP AND AUTHORITY.
WHEN YOU HAVE A BOOK, ONE OF THE FIRST QUESTIONS ONE IS ASKED IS, “WHO WROTE THE BOOK?” THERE WAS A NEED FOR RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT AND THEREFORE THERE WAS A NEED FOR THE AUTHOR BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE WE WERE FORMED IN THE WOMB, THE LORD KNEW US.
MEANING, HE DESIGNED US AND CONSTRUCTED US ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AND PURPOSE.
“FOR THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS, AND FOR THY PLEASURE THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED” (REV. 4:11)
EVEN THE STRONG ANGEL COULD ONLY PROCLAIM WE ARE ALL A LUMP OF CLAY ORDAINED BY THE MASTER POTTER ALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN A MEASURE OF FAITH. WITHIN THAT MEASURE OF FAITH ARE THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT AND THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT. THE FIRST IS LOVE WHICH COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS. THERE WAS NO ONE FOUND (QUALIFIED) TO EVEN LOOK THEREON TO DETERMINE THE LOVE, LONG SUFFERING, PATIENCE, MERCY, GRACE, FORGIVENESS, GENTLENESS, OR ANY OTHER PORTION OF THE MEASURE BY WHICH  THE LORD IS USING TO JUDGE YOUR LIFE ON EARTH.
JOHN WAS INSRUCTED TO BEAR RECORD OF WHAT HE SAW. HE WAS A SEER PROPHET. WHEN HE SAW WHAT HE SAW HE WEPT BECAUSE WITHIN HIS SPIRIT NO ONE WAS WORTHY. THE LORD DESIGNED HIS CREATIONS TO DESIRE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. HE SAID SEEK THE KINGDOM. HE SAID SEEK THE KINGDOM AD ALL OF ITS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL OTHER THINGS SHALL BE ADDED. OUR SPIRIT DESIRES TO KNOW RIGHTEOUSNESS. DAVID CRIED TO THE LORD, TEACH ME TO KNOW MINE END AND TO NUMBER MY DAYS. TEACH ME THY PRECEPTS. HIS SPIRIT KNEW THAT WITHIN WAS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. TO BE ABLE TO PREVAIL, OVERCOME, AND TO OBTAIN RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT, THERE WAS A FIGHT ON OUR BEHALF.

EPHESIANS 3:17-19

THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH; THAT YE, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, MAY BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND WITH ALL SAINTS WHAT IS THE BREADTH, AND LENGTH, AND DEPTH, AND HEIGHT; AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.

The elder said weep not because the lamb of God hath prevailed. Often times we weep because of situations that require a Savior. We need our Potter to shape and mold us. Our Spirit weeps with desire to comprehend the length, breadth, depth, and the height of the Love of Christ, and what he is willing to do to maintain his righteousness and be glorified in our life. 

The Lord Jesus Christ was given to us by the Father. In the Book of Hebrews God said prepare me a body because He desired to give the Son unto us, wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. He prevailed for us on the cross. He prevailed having seven horns (authorities, powers) which are the seven Spirits of God. 

Isaiah 11:1-5

AND THERE SHALL COME FORTH A ROD OUT OF THE STEM OF JESSE, AND A BRANCH SHALL GROW OUT OF HIS ROOTS: AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL REST UPON HIM, THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, THE SPIRIT OF COUNSEL AND MIGHT, THE SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE AND OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD. AND SHALL MAKE HIM OF QUICK UNDERSTANDING IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD: AND HE SHALL NOT JUDGE AFTER THE SIGHT OF HIS EYES, NEITHER REPROVE AFTER THE HEARING OF HIS EARS: BUT WIT RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL HE JUDGE THE POOR, AND REPROVE WITH EQULTY. FOR THE MEEK OF THE EARTH: AND HE SHLL SMITE THE EARTH WITH THE ROD OF HIS MOUTH, AND WITH THE BREADTH OF HIS LIPS SHALL HE SLAY THE WICKED. AND RIGHTEOUSNES SHALL BE THE GIRDLE OF HIS LOINS, AND FAITHFULNESS THE GIRDLE OF HIS REIGNS. 

AND HE CAME AND TOOK THE BOOK OUT OF THE RIGHT HAND OF HIM THAT SAT UPON THE THRONE. 

Jesus Christ is the risen Savior. He is the one slain and the only one worthy to open the book of our lives. He is risen to sit on the right hand of God until his enemies are made his footstool.

AND WHEN HE HAD TAKEN THE BOOK, THE FOUR BEASTS AND FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS FEEL DOWN BEFORE THE LAMB, HAVING EVERY ONE OF THEM HARPS, AND GOLDEN VIALS FULL OF ODOURS, WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS.

We must rejoice because the account of our works of righteousness and faith is in the hands of the Son of God. Our life is in his hands.

John 10:27-30

MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME:AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE; AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH, NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY HAND. MY FATHR, WHICH GAVE THEM ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL; AND NO MAN IS ABLE TO PLUCK THEM OUR OF MY FATHER’S HANDS. I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.

Luke 10:19-20

BEHOLD, I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER TO TREAD ON SERPENT AND SCORPIONS, AND OVERALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY: NOTWITHSTANDING IN THIS REJOICE NOT, THAT THE SPIRITS ARE SUBJECT UNTO YOU; BUT RATHER, BECAUSE YOUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.
