If we have God’s perspective on the things that we encounter in life, whether good or bad, than we will have a far different view of events… Romans 8:28
2 things about God’s perspective from the previous podcast;
First: God has a plan, it’s done, and no one can change it.
Second: all have sinned, and we can’t save us.
Revelation 5:4-7We see 4 things in these 4 verses;
The first thing that is emphasized here is – The Lost;
- The Lost – John says, “I began to weep loudly“
- The Lion – a lion at the time John is writing this represented a hero; a brave and mighty hero – a Rescuer,
- The Lamb – Rev 5:6
- To Stand – not like it was dead, but standing…
- To be Slain – meaning slaughtered, sacrificed…
- The Lamb – was the sacrifice offered for the sins of the nation…
- The Savior – Rev 5:7
No one can take anything from God; Ecc 3:14
- dechomia – (deck – ho – mia) to accept when handed to
- aihreomai – (I – hro – mia)to seize, violently
- lambano – (lamb – a – no) to take, obtain, deserved
The scroll was obtained by the Lamb, and God released the scroll to its rightful owner…
- Bigger then Abraham…
- Bigger then Jacob…
- Bigger then Moses…
- Bigger then David…
- Bigger than any prophets…
There are significant pivot points in human history in our relationship and understanding of God…
- The Fall;
- The Flood;
- The Promise;
- The Law;
- The Messiah;
Jesus didn’t come to continue the Law He came to fulfill it; Matthew 5:17
Jesus didn’t come to continue the old, He came to re-invent it; Mark 2:22
The High priest in Jerusalem knew this when Jesus was on trial; Matthew 26:62-65
The entire premise of the Jewish religion was built on the fact that there is “One” God; Deuteronomy 6:4
But, Jesus declared Himself to be God, and Revelation 5 shows Jesus to be God. This turned the Jewish world upside down and it will turn our world upside down when we truly see this through God’s perspective.
