Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one seated on the throne. It had writing on the front and the back, and it was sealed with seven seals. I saw a powerful angel, who proclaimed in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or look inside it. So I began to weep and weep, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look inside it. Then one of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has emerged victorious so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.” Then, in between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb, standing as if it had been slain. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are God’s seven spirits, sent out into the whole earth. He came forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one seated on the throne. When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each held a harp and gold bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. They took up a new song, saying,
“You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals,
because you were slain,
and by your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
You made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they will rule on earth.” (Revelation 5:1-10, CEB)
A lamb that was slain was standing there with seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God? What are the seven spirits of God? How does this make sense?
The lion can open the seals and tell us what is on the scroll and give us the answers we seek.
God says the lamb is worthy because it was slain to open the seals.
Sometimes the scriptures do not make sense and when we say this is what it means we are conjecturing and trying to make something we do not understand fit into what we understand. Faith means we accept things we can not explain.
Know you are loved and in the end God and love win.
Loving People. Loving God.
