“And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelation 5:5
December 14, 2023
The seven-sealed scroll is the legal authority to execute judgment on the earth and to bring to pass the kingdom of God on earth. The apostle John wept because there was no one qualified to break the seals and open the book. Actually, it was a 15 feet long scroll (the book of Revelation). The Lion of the tribe of Judah is the only one worthy to open the book of the title deed or contract deed to the world. It also may be called, “The Book of Redemption.” Talk about drama. This is it. Hollywood missed this one. No political figure, no emperor, no dictator, no king, no scientist, no scholar, no theologian, no noble peace prize winner, no one has the right to attempt the prerogative of global rule other than the Lion of the tribe of Judah. All of history is in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is no “lame duck” administrator seeking to salvage a failed plan. The destiny of all mankind is in His hands. Hold out the hand of your heart and receive the eternal life He offers, if you have not. Praise Him. Love Him. Serve Him. Wait joyfully for His Second Coming. Don’t let the world and its whimpering sounds of self-exaltation take over your outlook on life.
