The Lion and the Lamb
Revelation 5:7
Kenute P. Curry
Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne (5:7).
He came and took the scroll – The ultimate goal of redemption is about to be seen – paradise will be regained. Eden will be restored. This act will signal the end of man’s day. It is the same scene described by Daniel, in Daniel 7:13-14:
“I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, One like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.
Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away,
And His kingdom the one
Which shall not be destroyed.
In the Gospels four titles are given to Jesus:
1. As the Son of David, He has title to the Throne of David.
2. As the Son of Abraham, He has title to the Land of Palestine, and all included in the Royal Grant to Abraham.
3. As the Son of Man, He has title to the Earth and the World.
4. As the Son of God, He is the Heir of All Things.
The Worthy One has arrived to take back what is rightfully His!
