The seven sealed scroll in Revelation 5 represents a deed of redemption. Each seal that is broken reveals what must occur for the kinsman redeemer to repossess what was lost. No one was found worthy to open the scroll until the Lion from the tribe of Judah, Jesus Christ, was revealed as having overcome sin and death to redeem mankind. Jesus is described as both the sacrificial Lamb that was slain, referring to his first coming, and the Lion referring to his second coming as sovereign judge.

1. The Seven Sealed Scroll

2. • (1) I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the
throne a book written inside and on the
back, sealed up with seven seals.

11. • The scroll of Rev 5 is a deed of redemption, and as
such becomes effectively a will of inheritance. If a
Jewish family were to lose its property or
possessions by some kind of misfortune or
distress, their property could not be permanently
taken from them. However, their losses were listed
in a scroll and sealed seven times. Then the
conditions necessary to purchase back the land
and their possessions were written on the outside
of the scroll.

12. • When a qualified redeemer could be found, who
could meet the requirements of reclamation (a
kinsman like Boaz as in the story of Ruth), the one
who had taken the property was required to return
it to the original owner. As each seal is broken, the
deed of redemption reveals what must occur for
the Kinsman-Redeemer to physically repossess the
land, Hampton Keathley

13. • Daniel 12:4 "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these
words and seal up the book until the end of time;
many will go back and forth, and knowledge will
increase.“

14. • Daniel 12:4 "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these
words and seal up the book until the end of time;

• Ezekiel 2:9-10 Then I looked, and behold, a hand
was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it. (10)
When He spread it out before me, it was written
on the front and back, and written on it were
lamentations, mourning and woe.

15. • (2) And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a
loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and
to break its seals?" (3) And no one in heaven or
on the earth or under the earth was able to open
the book or to look into it.

16. • Philippians 2:5-11 Have this attitude in yourselves
which was also in Christ Jesus, (6) who, although
He existed in the form of God, did not regard
equality with God a thing to be grasped, (7) but
emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-
servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
(8) Being found in appearance as a man, He
humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the
point of death, even death on a cross.

17. • (9) For this reason also, God highly exalted
Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is
above every name, (10) so that at the name of
Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in
heaven and on earth and under the earth, (11)
and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

18. • (4) Then I began to weep greatly because no one
was found worthy to open the book or to look into
it;

19. • (5) and one of the elders *said to me, "Stop
weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of
Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to
open the book and its seven seals."

20. • Genesis 49:9-10 "Judah is a lion's whelp; From the
prey, my son, you have gone up. He couches, he
lies down as a lion, And as a lion, who dares rouse
him up? (10) "The scepter shall not depart from
Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his
feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the
obedience of the peoples.

21. • Revelation 22:16 "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to
testify to you these things for the churches. I am
the root and the descendant of David, the bright
morning star."

22. • (6) And I saw between the throne (with the four
living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as
if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which
are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the
earth. (7) And He came and took the book out of
the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

23. • John 1:29b "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world!

24. • John 1:29b "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world!
• 1 Peter 1:18-19 knowing that you were not
redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold
from your futile way of life inherited from your
forefathers, (19) but with precious blood, as of a
lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of
Christ.

made horns of iron for himself and said, "Thus says
the LORD, 'With these you will gore the Arameans
until they are consumed.'"

31. • Daniel 7:9, 13&14 "I kept looking Until thrones
were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His
head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with
flames, Its wheels were a burning fire…(13) "I kept
looking in the night visions, And behold, with the
clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was
coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.

32. • (14) "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a
kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of
every language Might serve Him. His dominion is
an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one Which will not be
destroyed.
