Ezekiel had a similar experience ,[object Object],[object Object]

The book John sees is sealed with seven seals ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The apparently insurmountable problem ,[object Object],[object Object]

THE WORTHY LAMB ,[object Object]

One of the elders tells John not to give up hope so quickly ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The "Lion of the tribe of Judah" comes from Jacob blessing his sons ,[object Object]

He is also identified as another OT figure - the "Root of David" ,[object Object]

David was the son of Jesse & Jesus is the pre-eminent son of David! ,[object Object],[object Object]

The Lord promised an heir to David's throne ,[object Object],[object Object]

Psa 89:20-37 WEB ,[object Object]

This is a staple of the apostolic preaching in the New Testament ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Paul made the same connection. ,[object Object]

The voice says the Lion … of Judah & Root of David has "overcome" ,[object Object],[object Object]

The Lion has overcome ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The literal translation is "standing as one having been slain" ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The Lamb was actually killed ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Isaiah had described the Messiah in terms reminiscent of this ,[object Object]

There can be no doubt who this Lamb is ,[object Object],[object Object]

It reminds us of other passages about our redemption ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

It has "seven horns and seven eyes" ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

WORSHIP OF THE LAMB ,[object Object]

In Revelation 4, all eyes had been on the throne ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

John's situation is unique vis-à-vis every human before, or since ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

And when Jesus enters, all heaven erupts with praise! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

That is the way the concept of a "new song" is used in the scriptures ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

In Rev 14:3, we will read of God's people who have been delivered ,[object Object],[object Object]

His death made these people into a "kingdom" and "priests" ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

But "who is worthy" to take the book out of God's hand and open it? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Every created being joins in the act ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
