Revelation chapter 5,
Revelation chapter 5...
00:00:30.73\00:00:34.46
we finished with
Revelation Chapter 4,
00:00:34.50\00:00:36.13
we got a picture of the
throne that's set in heaven,
00:00:36.16\00:00:39.13
which we identified as
the end of the controversy...
00:00:39.17\00:00:42.10
at least in
heaven over God's throne
00:00:42.14\00:00:43.64
His Justice... His Mercy,
we have a picture of 24 elders
00:00:43.71\00:00:47.08
which we
identified as the redeemed,
00:00:47.11\00:00:48.54
the multitude raised with
Christ after His resurrection
00:00:48.58\00:00:51.35
they received the robes,
00:00:51.38\00:00:53.08
they're sitting on
thrones, they have the crowns...
00:00:53.11\00:00:55.65
things that are promised
to the churches that overcome,
00:00:55.68\00:00:58.22
to Smyrna, to
Philadelphia, to Laodicea
00:00:58.25\00:01:01.26
and now we're going
to understand why...
00:01:01.29\00:01:03.46
well, how did they get there?
00:01:03.49\00:01:05.19
Revelation 5... kind of
layers over Revelation 4
00:01:05.23\00:01:08.96
kind of like
Genesis 1... Genesis 2...
00:01:09.00\00:01:11.47
Revelation 5 gives
us a fuller picture
00:01:11.50\00:01:13.94
of how all of this happened,
00:01:13.97\00:01:15.47
how did God's throne
get established in heaven?
00:01:15.50\00:01:18.44
How has His justice
and mercy been qualified by
00:01:18.47\00:01:21.41
all of the unfallen universe
00:01:21.44\00:01:23.24
so that they see that
He is just and merciful,
00:01:23.28\00:01:25.45
How is it that
these elders are redeemed?
00:01:25.48\00:01:27.62
Revelation 5 gives
us the answer to that
00:01:27.65\00:01:29.75
so we're going to jump into
that, have a word of prayer,
00:01:29.78\00:01:32.15
Yvonne, would you
like to pray for us?
00:01:32.19\00:01:33.96
Yvonne: Sure,
sure... "Father God,
00:01:33.99\00:01:35.59
once again, we come
before you with open hearts
00:01:35.62\00:01:37.96
grateful for the privilege
of studying your Word...
00:01:37.99\00:01:40.30
and grateful for your presence,
00:01:40.33\00:01:42.46
so we welcome you in this place,
00:01:42.50\00:01:44.53
we invite you to be with
us and guide us and direct us
00:01:44.57\00:01:47.10
and thank you for my
brothers here and my son,
00:01:47.14\00:01:50.01
help us Lord God to continue
to move forward in your Word
00:01:50.04\00:01:54.54
to greater and
deeper understanding,
00:01:54.58\00:01:56.68
in Jesus' name,
amen. " All: "Amen... "
00:01:56.71\00:01:58.71
James: And then we're going
to do our traditional thing
00:01:58.75\00:02:01.05
which is very, very
good tradition and that is...
00:02:01.08\00:02:03.85
we're going to read
through the Scriptures,
00:02:03.89\00:02:05.22
I'm looking to you
Jason to start us off,
00:02:05.25\00:02:07.56
you can read about half
of this, there's... there's
00:02:07.59\00:02:09.89
about... what...?
fourteen texts here
00:02:09.92\00:02:12.99
and if you could
read about seven of them
00:02:13.03\00:02:14.36
and then maybe, Yvonne,
you can read the next seven,
00:02:14.40\00:02:16.30
we'll just go through them here.
00:02:16.33\00:02:18.63
Jason: "And I saw in
the right hand of him
00:02:18.67\00:02:21.07
that sat on the
throne a book written within
00:02:21.10\00:02:23.81
and on the backside,
sealed with seven seals.
00:02:23.84\00:02:26.47
And I saw a strong angel
proclaiming with a loud voice,
00:02:26.51\00:02:30.18
Who is worthy to open the book,
00:02:30.21\00:02:32.25
and to loose the seals thereof?
00:02:32.31\00:02:34.28
And no man in
heaven, nor in earth,
00:02:34.32\00:02:36.69
neither under the earth,
was able to open the book,
00:02:36.72\00:02:39.15
neither to look thereon.
00:02:39.22\00:02:40.66
And I wept much,
because no man was found worthy
00:02:40.72\00:02:45.39
to open and to read the
book, neither to look thereon.
00:02:45.43\00:02:48.46
And one of the
elders saith unto me,
00:02:48.50\00:02:50.93
Weep not: behold the
Lion of the tribe of Judah,
00:02:50.97\00:02:53.87
the Root of
David, hath prevailed
00:02:53.90\00:02:56.14
to open the book, and to
loose the seven seals thereof.
00:02:56.17\00:02:58.91
And I beheld, and lo,
in the midst of the throne
00:02:58.97\00:03:02.81
and of the four beasts,
and in the midst of the elders,
00:03:02.84\00:03:06.21
stood a Lamb as
it had been slain,
00:03:06.25\00:03:08.15
having seven
horns and seven eyes,
00:03:08.18\00:03:10.02
which are the
seven Spirits of God
00:03:10.05\00:03:12.35
sent forth unto all the earth.
00:03:12.39\00:03:14.09
And he came and took the book
out of the right hand of him
00:03:14.12\00:03:17.53
that sat upon the throne. "
00:03:17.56\00:03:18.99
Yvonne: "And when
he had taken the book,
00:03:19.03\00:03:21.16
the four beasts and
four and twenty elders
00:03:21.20\00:03:23.26
fell down before the Lamb,
having every one of them harps,
00:03:23.30\00:03:27.34
and golden vials full of odours,
00:03:27.37\00:03:29.40
which are the prayers of saints.
00:03:29.44\00:03:31.94
And they sung a
new song, saying,
00:03:31.97\00:03:34.58
Thou art worthy
to take the book,
00:03:34.61\00:03:37.18
and to open the seals
thereof: for thou wast slain,
00:03:37.21\00:03:40.55
and hast redeemed
us to God by thy blood
00:03:40.58\00:03:43.42
out of every kindred, and
tongue and people, and nation;
00:03:43.45\00:03:46.79
And hast made us unto
our God kings and priests:
00:03:46.86\00:03:50.43
and we shall reign on the earth.
00:03:50.46\00:03:52.56
And I beheld, and I
heard the voice of many angels
00:03:52.59\00:03:55.60
round about the throne
and the beasts and the elders:
00:03:55.66\00:03:58.60
and the number of them was
ten thousand times ten thousand,
00:03:58.63\00:04:01.90
and thousands of thousands;
00:04:01.94\00:04:03.74
Saying with a loud
voice, Worthy is the Lamb... "
00:04:03.77\00:04:06.81
oh yeah, oh... I love this...
00:04:06.88\00:04:08.68
"Worthy is the Lamb that
was slain to receive power,
00:04:08.71\00:04:12.35
and riches and
wisdom, and strength,
00:04:12.41\00:04:14.68
and honour, and
glory, and blessing.
00:04:14.75\00:04:17.15
And every creature
which is in heaven,
00:04:17.19\00:04:19.42
and on earth,
and under the earth,
00:04:19.45\00:04:21.59
and such as are in the
sea, and all that are in them,
00:04:21.62\00:04:25.16
heard I saying,
Blessing, and honour, and glory,
00:04:25.19\00:04:28.40
and power, be unto him
that sitteth upon the throne,
00:04:28.43\00:04:31.60
and unto the Lamb
for ever and ever.
00:04:31.63\00:04:34.14
And the four beasts said, Amen.
00:04:34.17\00:04:36.60
And the four and twenty elders
fell down and worshipped him
00:04:36.64\00:04:40.08
that liveth for ever and ever. "
00:04:40.11\00:04:42.31
James: What a beautiful picture.
00:04:42.34\00:04:44.51
Yvonne: Oh, worthy is
the Lamb that was slain.
00:04:44.55\00:04:47.68
James: This... this
has to be one of the most
00:04:47.72\00:04:49.22
glorious chapters in the entire
Bible and it is rich, rich, rich
00:04:49.25\00:04:55.46
there is... we could
break it into three sections,
00:04:55.49\00:04:58.43
there's... there is a
problem that is exposed to John,
00:04:58.46\00:05:01.06
a problem... because
there's a book that's sealed up
00:05:01.10\00:05:03.67
and can't be opened
and it causes him to weep
00:05:03.70\00:05:05.90
and so... this is...
this is the problem...
00:05:05.93\00:05:08.07
the dilemma that faces
John and then the next section,
00:05:08.10\00:05:10.47
there is a
solution to the dilemma,
00:05:10.51\00:05:12.07
the solution is brought
forth, the Lamb is able...
00:05:12.11\00:05:16.01
and... and we see that solution
00:05:16.04\00:05:17.68
we see a
response to the solution
00:05:17.71\00:05:19.71
and then we see
in the third section
00:05:19.75\00:05:21.62
we see the overall
response of the entire universe
00:05:21.68\00:05:24.95
to what the Lamb has
been able to accomplish.
00:05:24.99\00:05:26.45
Yvonne: Ah...
00:05:26.49\00:05:28.22
Ivor: So John is weeping because
00:05:28.26\00:05:29.92
evidently these seals contained
the future of humanity,
00:05:29.96\00:05:35.03
James: Yes... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:05:35.06\00:05:36.40
and he sees that without this
happening... humanity is doomed.
00:05:36.43\00:05:39.93
James: He sees it... in
fact, let me just take you to
00:05:39.97\00:05:42.17
a verse in the Old Testament
00:05:42.20\00:05:43.54
because again, we
want to emphasize that
00:05:43.57\00:05:45.44
a lot of the Book of Revelation
is symbols that are broken open
00:05:45.47\00:05:50.05
in our understanding
of the Bible itself,
00:05:50.08\00:05:52.91
so the terminology
of the sealed book...
00:05:52.95\00:05:55.22
sealed on the
inside and the outside...
00:05:55.25\00:05:57.05
sealed up so that
no man can open it,
00:05:57.09\00:05:58.59
that
terminology... and written...
00:05:58.62\00:06:00.49
is borrowed from
the Old Testament,
00:06:00.52\00:06:02.92
there's a verse in
Ezekiel chapter 2...
00:06:02.96\00:06:05.29
Ezekiel chapter 2 and we're
going to look here at verse...
00:06:05.33\00:06:09.53
well, let's look
at verses 9 and 10,
00:06:09.56\00:06:12.60
Ezekiel chapter
2, verses 9 and 10
00:06:12.63\00:06:16.44
and it says here,
"And when I looked,
00:06:16.47\00:06:20.41
behold, an hand was
sent unto me: and lo,
00:06:20.44\00:06:24.35
a roll of a book was therein;"
00:06:24.38\00:06:27.15
verse 10, "And he
spread it before me;
00:06:27.18\00:06:30.22
and it was written
within and without:
00:06:30.25\00:06:33.25
and there was written therein
00:06:33.29\00:06:36.56
lamentations, and
mourning, and woe. "
00:06:36.59\00:06:39.93
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:06:39.96\00:06:41.30
James: Okay, on the
throne, there is a scroll,
00:06:41.33\00:06:45.47
it's sealed up with seven seals,
00:06:45.50\00:06:47.44
it has writings on the
inside and on the outside,
00:06:47.47\00:06:49.67
and no man in heaven
and no man on the earth,
00:06:49.70\00:06:51.84
and no man under the earth can
take that scroll... that book...
00:06:51.87\00:06:54.88
and open it and
break those seals,
00:06:54.91\00:06:56.71
and John begins to weep, why?
00:06:56.75\00:06:58.71
Because according to Ezekiel,
00:06:58.75\00:07:00.65
that scroll represents
the history of the world.
00:07:00.72\00:07:04.79
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:07:04.82\00:07:06.15
James: It's written on the
inside and the outside because
00:07:06.19\00:07:08.46
it is
complete... every decision,
00:07:08.52\00:07:10.46
every... every action...
the history of nations,
00:07:10.49\00:07:14.00
is all contained in this
roll, but it's sealed up...
00:07:14.06\00:07:17.53
in other words,
our faith is sealed up,
00:07:17.57\00:07:19.57
the history of this
earth could be summarized
00:07:19.60\00:07:23.64
in these words,
Lamentation and weeping and woe.
00:07:23.67\00:07:27.64
In the New Testament, it
could be summarized this way,
00:07:27.68\00:07:30.38
"All have sinned and come
short of the glory of God,
00:07:30.41\00:07:34.18
and the wages of sin is
death," that's the summation
00:07:34.22\00:07:37.85
of what's written in this
roll, now, the Bible says,
00:07:37.89\00:07:41.62
"The earth is the Lord's
and the fullness thereof,"
00:07:41.66\00:07:45.39
so that's why He has the scroll,
00:07:45.43\00:07:47.03
even though Satan is
counter claiming this earth,
00:07:47.06\00:07:50.13
according to Job chapter 1,
00:07:50.17\00:07:51.50
he's saying, "No, the earth is
mine... I've been too and fro,
00:07:51.53\00:07:53.74
I've been up and down,
I've been checking it out... "
00:07:53.77\00:07:55.40
you know, when you buy
something, you check it out,
00:07:55.44\00:07:56.84
especially if
you're buying a used car,
00:07:56.87\00:07:58.21
or a piece of
property, you check it out,
00:07:58.24\00:07:59.84
you go, "oh, check...
" he's been checking...
00:07:59.87\00:08:01.31
he says, "The earth is mine...
" God says, "No, no, no...
00:08:01.34\00:08:03.08
you haven't
considered my servant Job... "
00:08:03.11\00:08:05.55
so... so there's this
contention taking place,
00:08:05.61\00:08:07.92
that the scroll is sealed
up, the destiny is sealed up,
00:08:07.95\00:08:11.55
no man in heaven...
are there men in heaven?
00:08:11.59\00:08:14.36
Ivor: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:08:14.39\00:08:15.72
James: Outside of the 24
elders, are there men in heaven?
00:08:15.76\00:08:18.09
Ivor: No...
00:08:18.13\00:08:21.23
Yvonne: Well, you want to
talk about... like, Elijah...
00:08:21.26\00:08:23.20
James: Yes, yes, yes...
00:08:23.23\00:08:24.57
Ivor: Yes, yes, yes, yes... I
didn't understand the question
00:08:24.60\00:08:27.17
James: All right, the layperson
corrects the theologian.
00:08:27.20\00:08:29.80
All: laughter...
00:08:29.84\00:08:31.97
James: How did
Enoch get to heaven?
00:08:32.01\00:08:33.34
Yvonne: Translation...
00:08:33.38\00:08:34.71
James: Translation...
without seeing death.
00:08:34.74\00:08:36.88
I mean, he had this
close walk with God, right?
00:08:36.91\00:08:39.11
Jason: Wasn't he like...
300 and something years' old?
00:08:39.18\00:08:41.35
James: Yes...
yeah... and... and... and...
00:08:41.38\00:08:43.05
he got married and he had a
son and that changed his life...
00:08:43.08\00:08:46.35
changed his life... because I
remember when my son was born,
00:08:46.42\00:08:49.49
I remember the feeling
of love and protection...
00:08:49.52\00:08:53.90
the feelings that I
had toward that little baby
00:08:53.93\00:08:58.23
when he was
born... I couldn't even...
00:08:58.30\00:08:59.97
I couldn't even write it out,
there was just these emotions
00:09:00.00\00:09:03.71
and these feelings that
came out where I just...
00:09:03.74\00:09:05.44
and I saw God
00:09:05.47\00:09:07.11
in a completely different
way than I had ever seen before,
00:09:07.14\00:09:09.54
if I loved this boy like this,
00:09:09.58\00:09:12.91
how much more does God
love me, unconditionally...
00:09:12.95\00:09:16.25
it was just incredible,
00:09:16.28\00:09:17.62
Enoch had this walk
with God that was so close
00:09:17.65\00:09:19.72
that one day... as they were
walking and talking together,
00:09:19.75\00:09:22.02
God said, "Hey, Enoch,
we're closer to my house
00:09:22.06\00:09:24.53
than we are to your house,
00:09:24.59\00:09:25.93
why don't you just
come home with me?"
00:09:25.96\00:09:27.30
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:09:27.33\00:09:28.66
James: Can
Enoch open the scroll?
00:09:28.70\00:09:30.03
can Enoch change our destiny,
00:09:30.07\00:09:32.13
can Enoch change
our destiny with death?
00:09:32.17\00:09:34.44
No, it doesn't matter
how close you are with God,
00:09:34.47\00:09:36.47
it doesn't matter
what our connections...
00:09:36.50\00:09:38.24
if we're... if we're getting
ready to be translated...
00:09:38.27\00:09:40.68
but the world, the
lamentation, the death...
00:09:40.71\00:09:42.44
that is our destiny and
that's why John is weeping...
00:09:42.48\00:09:44.78
no man in
heaven... no man in earth...
00:09:44.81\00:09:47.25
no man under the earth...
00:09:47.32\00:09:48.78
can alter that
destiny with death
00:09:48.82\00:09:51.29
and as he is weeping, one
of the elders comes to him
00:09:51.35\00:09:53.62
and the elder
says, "Weep not... "
00:09:53.66\00:09:56.73
seven letters
comprising two words
00:09:56.76\00:09:59.76
that bring us to the rest
of the story, "Weep not... "
00:09:59.79\00:10:01.66
and then what? See
that's the gospel...
00:10:01.70\00:10:03.60
"Weep not, dry your
eyes... " and then what?
00:10:03.63\00:10:06.10
And by-the-way, it's the
elder, it's one like him,
00:10:06.13\00:10:08.50
one who is redeemed,
one you can relate, okay,
00:10:08.54\00:10:10.91
that's our job...
and then the elder says,
00:10:10.94\00:10:13.54
"Behold the Lion of
the tribe of Judah... "
00:10:13.58\00:10:16.85
and that is the secret...
God isn't asking us to...
00:10:16.88\00:10:20.12
to overcome...
He's not asking...
00:10:20.15\00:10:22.85
let me just clarify that,
00:10:22.88\00:10:24.29
He's not asking
us to take the roll
00:10:24.32\00:10:26.42
and to change our
destiny with death
00:10:26.45\00:10:28.49
and to do that which
only the Lamb can do,
00:10:28.52\00:10:31.26
He's asking us to
behold the Lamb...
00:10:31.29\00:10:33.40
now is it important
for us to behold the Lamb?
00:10:33.43\00:10:36.16
It's vital... it's vital...
it's the secret to success.
00:10:36.20\00:10:38.57
Yvonne: Man! that's
some rich... this is rich...
00:10:38.60\00:10:42.24
I never even noticed
that the... one of the elders
00:10:42.30\00:10:45.87
said it... "One like him... "
I've read this a ton of times...
00:10:45.91\00:10:51.41
but never... it
just never connected,
00:10:51.45\00:10:54.98
"One like him... "
said, "Weep not... "
00:10:55.02\00:10:57.52
James: It's because
we've identified the elders,
00:10:57.55\00:10:59.72
and once we've
identified the elders,
00:10:59.75\00:11:01.09
then we realize... "Wow! they've
got a part to play in this...
00:11:01.12\00:11:03.12
we've got a part
to play in this...
00:11:03.16\00:11:04.56
we've got a part...
they've got a part... "
00:11:04.59\00:11:06.39
Yvonne: Hmmm...
hmmm... James: The whole...
00:11:06.46\00:11:08.20
Ivor: They're... they're
the down payment as it were,
00:11:08.23\00:11:09.56
you know, "Look,
we're here, so, weep not
00:11:09.60\00:11:14.77
the reason we're
here... is because of the Lamb
00:11:14.80\00:11:17.11
that was slain from the
foundation of the world. "
00:11:17.14\00:11:19.37
Yvonne: Hmmm...
hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
00:11:19.44\00:11:21.11
James: Behold the Lion
of... so he's looking right?
00:11:21.14\00:11:23.38
He's looking for this
Lion of the tribe of Judah,
00:11:23.41\00:11:25.88
he's looking around, this
Lion of the tribe of Judah,
00:11:25.91\00:11:28.35
and what does he see?
00:11:28.38\00:11:30.22
He sees a Lamb as
it had been slain...
00:11:30.25\00:11:36.16
and this is where the symbol
of the Lamb is first introduced
00:11:36.19\00:11:39.46
and when it's introduced,
00:11:39.49\00:11:40.83
it's introduced in
relation to being slain...
00:11:40.86\00:11:43.26
in other words, this symbol
represents the cross or Calvary,
00:11:43.33\00:11:47.67
the Lamb slain is directing
us to Christ crucified,
00:11:47.70\00:11:53.07
Christ crucified is
now the central theme
00:11:53.11\00:11:56.08
of the Book of Revelation
because we're going to see
00:11:56.11\00:11:58.95
this symbol of the Lamb
repeated over and over again
00:11:59.01\00:12:01.82
throughout the
Book of Revelation.
00:12:01.85\00:12:03.18
Whenever it says,
"They followed the Lamb...
00:12:03.22\00:12:05.05
the Lamb's Book of Life... "
it's talking about the cross,
00:12:05.09\00:12:07.42
it's talking about Calvary,
it's talking about that focus...
00:12:07.46\00:12:09.76
that we... it
needs to be central
00:12:09.82\00:12:11.16
with the Christian
experience, "Behold the cross...
00:12:11.19\00:12:13.76
look to the cross...
meditate on the cross...
00:12:13.80\00:12:15.43
spend a thoughtful hour a day
meditating on the life of Christ
00:12:15.46\00:12:17.77
especially the closing scenes
00:12:17.80\00:12:19.13
because that is the
key that is the secret.
00:12:19.17\00:12:22.10
Ivor: So, as we look
at this particular verse,
00:12:22.14\00:12:25.11
it points us to a
Lamb as it had been slain,
00:12:25.14\00:12:28.04
in other words... John
is looking... he is seeing,
00:12:28.08\00:12:30.65
"this is Christ,
after His resurrection... "
00:12:30.71\00:12:33.98
so here's what we
can tell from this,
00:12:34.02\00:12:36.15
remember, we talked about...
00:12:36.18\00:12:37.89
this is the
prelude to the seven seals,
00:12:37.92\00:12:39.89
remember we said, one
through seven represents
00:12:39.92\00:12:42.62
a complete cycle of
time, so the beginning...
00:12:42.66\00:12:45.29
the opening vision lets us
know when do we start looking...
00:12:45.33\00:12:48.66
what time do we
connect that first seal with
00:12:48.70\00:12:52.70
and when does it end,
00:12:52.73\00:12:54.14
so what we know is
that the first seal,
00:12:54.17\00:12:56.37
must begin sometime shortly
00:12:56.40\00:12:59.27
after the death, burial
and resurrection of Christ,
00:12:59.31\00:13:03.04
right, because
the opening vision...
00:13:03.08\00:13:05.81
John sees Him as a
Lamb that had been slain,
00:13:05.85\00:13:09.15
so now we know,
00:13:09.18\00:13:10.59
"Okay, well,
whatever this first seal is,
00:13:10.62\00:13:12.29
it's going to have to be some
time shortly after the death,
00:13:12.32\00:13:14.89
burial and
resurrection of Christ... "
00:13:14.92\00:13:16.26
and what we can now
double check that... right,
00:13:16.29\00:13:20.46
when we jump
over to the churches
00:13:20.50\00:13:22.16
and we see... "Well
look, the first church
00:13:22.20\00:13:24.40
is just after
the death of Christ,
00:13:24.43\00:13:26.94
so the first seal is going
to parallel the first church. "
00:13:26.97\00:13:31.34
James: Yes... Yvonne: Ah...
00:13:31.37\00:13:32.71
Ivor: So now we're
checking in multiple ways.
00:13:32.74\00:13:35.01
Yvonne: Okay, we're
doing time and location.
00:13:35.04\00:13:37.51
Ivor and James:
Time and location.
00:13:37.55\00:13:38.88
James: And there is
something else here too
00:13:38.91\00:13:40.62
in this verse, verse 6, it says,
00:13:40.65\00:13:42.28
"And I beheld, and lo,
in the midst of the throne
00:13:42.32\00:13:47.62
and in the midst
of the four beasts,
00:13:47.66\00:13:50.23
and in the midst of the elders,
00:13:50.29\00:13:51.73
stood a Lamb as
it had been slain,
00:13:51.76\00:13:53.26
having seven
horns and seven eyes,
00:13:53.29\00:13:54.80
which are the
seven Spirits of God
00:13:54.83\00:13:56.30
sent forth into all the earth. "
00:13:56.33\00:13:57.73
Now, Ivor was just saying,
"We have Calvary here... "
00:13:57.77\00:14:00.67
but also what we have...
is... we have the Spirit of God
00:14:00.70\00:14:03.41
sent forth into all the earth,
00:14:03.44\00:14:04.77
in chapter 4, in verse
5, "And out of the throne
00:14:04.81\00:14:08.78
proceeded lightnings
and thunders and voices:
00:14:08.81\00:14:12.91
and there were
seven lamps of fire
00:14:12.95\00:14:14.42
burning before the throne,
00:14:14.45\00:14:15.78
which are the
seven Spirits of God. "
00:14:15.82\00:14:17.52
In chapter 4 and verse 5,
00:14:17.55\00:14:19.59
the seven Spirits of
God or the Holy Spirit...
00:14:19.62\00:14:21.56
that's what's
being represented here,
00:14:21.59\00:14:23.49
is before the throne,
00:14:23.53\00:14:24.86
in chapter 5... it's
sent forth into all the earth,
00:14:24.89\00:14:26.80
what makes the
difference? Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:14:26.83\00:14:29.06
Jesus said, "I'm
going to go to my Father,"
00:14:29.10\00:14:31.23
this is after His
resurrection. Yvonne: Right...
00:14:31.27\00:14:32.90
James: "and I'm going to
send you a Comforter... "
00:14:32.93\00:14:34.50
actually He said it
before His resurrection,
00:14:34.54\00:14:35.87
"I'm going to send
you a Comforter... "
00:14:35.90\00:14:37.24
so, here is another
confirmation of the timeframe,
00:14:37.27\00:14:40.44
this is showing us that this...
00:14:40.48\00:14:42.78
the timing of the
opening of the first seals
00:14:42.81\00:14:45.61
is going to be in
the Apostolic Age...
00:14:45.65\00:14:47.75
when Jesus
ascends to the Father,
00:14:47.78\00:14:49.75
when His sacrifice
on Calvary is accepted
00:14:49.78\00:14:51.55
and when the Holy
Spirit is poured out.
00:14:51.62\00:14:54.42
Yvonne: Okay...
Ivor: So we have Pentecost.
00:14:54.46\00:14:56.36
James: We have
Pentecost... one more thing here
00:14:56.39\00:14:58.26
and I think
it's really powerful,
00:14:58.29\00:14:59.83
I want us to go
back here to verse 5,
00:14:59.86\00:15:01.33
there's a lot in verse 5 and
let's just start unpacking it,
00:15:01.36\00:15:03.63
one of the elders... we noticed
that that was connecting us
00:15:03.67\00:15:08.34
to people who had been redeemed,
00:15:08.37\00:15:10.44
said unto me,
"Weep not... " gospel...
00:15:10.47\00:15:13.21
"behold, the Lion of
the Tribe of Judah... "
00:15:13.24\00:15:15.01
this is how we
experience the gospel...
00:15:15.04\00:15:16.75
by beholding Christ...
"the Lion of the Tribe of Judah,
00:15:16.78\00:15:19.11
the Root of David
has prevailed... "
00:15:19.15\00:15:21.42
James: Now let's just hang
on that word for just a second
00:15:21.45\00:15:24.65
because that word...
00:15:24.69\00:15:26.02
traces all the way
through the Book of Revelation,
00:15:26.05\00:15:28.79
it goes back to the
churches and it goes forward,
00:15:28.82\00:15:31.69
and the word is
Nikaó... it's the Greek word,
00:15:31.73\00:15:34.56
it's the same word that is used
in the closing of every church
00:15:34.60\00:15:38.73
when it says, "to
him that overcomes,"
00:15:38.77\00:15:41.10
to him that overcomes...
to him that overcomes.
00:15:41.14\00:15:42.67
Yvonne: So... He has overcome...
00:15:42.70\00:15:44.64
James: Yes! Jesus has
prevailed where we have failed.
00:15:44.67\00:15:47.84
Yvonne: Oooo...
I'm getting chills...
00:15:47.88\00:15:50.11
no man in
heaven... no man in earth...
00:15:50.15\00:15:52.41
no man under the
earth... can prevail
00:15:52.48\00:15:54.68
but Jesus has
prevailed, so look to Him...
00:15:54.72\00:15:57.32
look to... you
need to overcome...
00:15:57.35\00:15:59.19
you need to... every church...
you need to overcome...
00:15:59.22\00:16:01.72
well, how do we overcome?
00:16:01.76\00:16:03.36
Well, let's get into the
seals, let's get into our second
00:16:03.39\00:16:05.76
outline here, our
second... snap snap...
00:16:05.79\00:16:09.96
the word I'm using...
going back to Revelation...
00:16:10.00\00:16:12.93
Ivor: Our second Cycle?
00:16:12.97\00:16:17.77
James: Cycle... cycle... cycle,
let's go into our second cycle
00:16:17.81\00:16:20.51
because the second
cycle tells us how we overcome
00:16:20.58\00:16:22.18
and the third cycle
tells us a little bit more
00:16:22.21\00:16:23.81
and the fourth cycle
tells us a little bit more,
00:16:23.85\00:16:25.41
you see what I'm
saying, in other words,
00:16:25.45\00:16:27.32
Revelation is not
just a bunch of symbols,
00:16:27.35\00:16:29.08
pointing out history...
past, present and future...
00:16:29.12\00:16:31.15
Revelation is
pointing us to God...
00:16:31.22\00:16:32.75
to the Plan of
Salvation, to how we overcome,
00:16:32.79\00:16:35.59
we do it by beholding Christ,
00:16:35.62\00:16:37.23
we connect with Him and we're
going to see this even more
00:16:37.26\00:16:39.09
when the first horse comes out,
00:16:39.13\00:16:40.46
because that same
word, "Nikaó" is used
00:16:40.50\00:16:41.96
in the first horse "going
forth conquering and to conquer"
00:16:42.00\00:16:44.47
it's going to be
huge right there,
00:16:44.50\00:16:46.33
but we're getting a clue now,
00:16:46.37\00:16:48.10
"you need to
overcome, you need to overcome,
00:16:48.14\00:16:49.70
you need to overcome...
" how do we overcome?
00:16:49.74\00:16:51.91
Not any man in
heaven, not any man in earth,
00:16:51.94\00:16:53.88
not any man under the earth,
00:16:53.91\00:16:55.24
the way you overcome
is by looking to the Lamb,
00:16:55.28\00:16:56.78
He's the one who has prevailed,
where you have failed,
00:16:56.81\00:16:59.21
Yvonne: Ah... yeah...
00:16:59.28\00:17:00.62
James: Key principle, key
truth that's being taught here.
00:17:00.65\00:17:03.72
Ivor: Yeah, so I want to
point out something else here
00:17:03.75\00:17:06.42
same chapter...
same verse rather...
00:17:06.45\00:17:09.42
verse 5... it says, "One
of the elders said unto me,
00:17:09.46\00:17:12.29
Weep not: behold, the
Lion of the tribe of Judah,
00:17:12.36\00:17:15.16
the Root of David, has
prevailed to open the book... "
00:17:15.20\00:17:19.57
so... so one of the
things that we should do...
00:17:19.60\00:17:21.60
whenever we're
studying the Scripture...
00:17:21.64\00:17:22.97
a term jumps out to you...
00:17:23.00\00:17:24.34
term that looks like...
"Hmmm... what is that about?"
00:17:24.37\00:17:26.57
Always try to go back and see
if we can find more information
00:17:26.61\00:17:30.68
on that term... and
so... this "Root of David... "
00:17:30.71\00:17:33.72
that seems like a...
00:17:33.75\00:17:35.38
just kind of like a
weird term to put in there,
00:17:35.42\00:17:37.95
right in the middle of
this... "the Root of David... "
00:17:37.99\00:17:40.32
so what in the world
is that talking about?
00:17:40.36\00:17:42.02
"The Root of David... "
how is Jesus the Root of David?
00:17:42.06\00:17:44.23
Well, if you go back with me
to the Book of Isaiah chapter 11
00:17:44.26\00:17:47.56
Isaiah chapter 11 and verse 1...
00:17:47.60\00:17:52.30
Isaiah 11 verse 1
actually makes that same mention
00:17:52.33\00:18:00.28
and here's what it
says, Isaiah 11 verse 1...
00:18:00.31\00:18:05.31
we'll also go and
look at verse 10...
00:18:05.38\00:18:06.78
it says, "And there
shall come forth a rod
00:18:06.82\00:18:09.62
out of the stem of Jesse,
00:18:09.65\00:18:12.22
and a Branch shall
grow out of his roots... "
00:18:12.25\00:18:15.02
okay... all right... so, wow,
there is where that term is from
00:18:15.06\00:18:18.89
and let's look at verse 10,
00:18:18.93\00:18:20.26
"And in that day there
shall be a root of Jesse,
00:18:20.30\00:18:23.43
which shall stand for
an end sign of the people;
00:18:23.47\00:18:26.74
to it shall the Gentiles seek:
and his rest shall be glorious"
00:18:26.77\00:18:29.57
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:18:29.60\00:18:30.94
Ivor: Okay, so this
root of Jesse points us to
00:18:30.97\00:18:33.34
something else
because now we want to know...
00:18:33.38\00:18:36.44
well, Stem of
Jesse, we're like...
00:18:36.48\00:18:38.31
where does that story of
Jesse and David come from
00:18:38.35\00:18:41.92
and actually it comes
from the story of Ruth...
00:18:41.98\00:18:45.52
so let's go back
to the Book of Ruth...
00:18:45.55\00:18:48.42
let's go over to
Ruth chapter 4...
00:18:48.46\00:18:50.36
Ruth chapter 1 actually...
and in the story of Ruth...
00:18:50.39\00:18:56.00
I'll try to summarize it
but Ruth is married to...
00:18:56.03\00:19:01.54
I'm sorry... Naomi is married to
a man by the name of Elimelech
00:19:01.60\00:19:06.24
and she has two sons and
in this... in this story...
00:19:06.27\00:19:12.41
Elimelech dies...
00:19:12.45\00:19:16.28
James: You're having a
hard time finding Ruth?
00:19:16.32\00:19:17.65
Yvonne: Yeah... I
forgot where Ruth is...
00:19:17.69\00:19:19.02
James: Yeah... me too...
00:19:19.05\00:19:20.39
Ivor: Ruth is going to
be right after Judges, yeah.
00:19:20.42\00:19:24.89
so, you've got the
Book of Ruth, excuse me...
00:19:24.93\00:19:30.93
James: Oh, it's tucked away here
between Judges and 1st Samuel.
00:19:30.97\00:19:34.60
Ivor: So, Naomi's
husband, Elimelech dies...
00:19:34.64\00:19:40.31
her two sons who are married
to Ruth and Orpah... also die,
00:19:40.34\00:19:49.52
so she has... she literally
has no hope of a future,
00:19:49.58\00:19:54.29
okay, so remember
that... she has no hope...
00:19:54.32\00:19:57.23
no offspring...
James: no one can prevail...
00:19:57.26\00:19:59.13
Ivor: no one can prevail...
00:19:59.16\00:20:00.53
like, she is in a situation
where she has no future...
00:20:00.56\00:20:03.06
and in Israel,
everyone wanted to bear...
00:20:03.10\00:20:05.33
everyone wanted to bear a
child because of the possibility
00:20:05.37\00:20:08.44
of the Messiah coming
through... you know what I mean?
00:20:08.47\00:20:11.27
So, everyone
was... you know... who...?
00:20:11.31\00:20:13.21
so bearing a child was
of the utmost importance,
00:20:13.24\00:20:15.98
now, there was a
Law in the Old Testament
00:20:16.01\00:20:17.55
that if a... if... you
know... a widow who lost...
00:20:17.58\00:20:23.99
a woman who lost her
husband had no one to...
00:20:24.02\00:20:28.66
she couldn't marry a stranger,
00:20:28.72\00:20:30.43
she had to marry
someone who was nearest of kin
00:20:30.46\00:20:33.96
to carry on the
line... to raise up seed
00:20:34.00\00:20:38.80
so that that person's
name would not be cut off,
00:20:38.83\00:20:42.74
okay, so... the story
is that Ruth decides...
00:20:42.77\00:20:45.64
Orpah says, "I'm
going back to my home... "
00:20:45.67\00:20:48.51
Ruth who was a Moabite says,
"I'm going to go with you...
00:20:48.54\00:20:51.01
your God is
going to be my God... "
00:20:51.05\00:20:53.25
she takes on the
God... so, check this out,
00:20:53.28\00:20:56.75
Ruth is a Gentile woman
with a Hebrew mother-in-law,
00:20:56.79\00:21:00.59
she's a Gentile woman
with a Hebrew mother-in-law,
00:21:00.62\00:21:04.36
well, in this story... they...
00:21:04.39\00:21:07.30
they return to
their home in Bethlehem
00:21:07.33\00:21:09.16
and there's a man by the name
of Boaz who comes upon the scene
00:21:09.20\00:21:13.13
Boaz happens to be the
nearest of kin to Elimelech,
00:21:13.17\00:21:17.51
okay and... there's
actually someone closer to him
00:21:17.54\00:21:21.84
but this person can redeem...
00:21:21.88\00:21:24.48
they were not only
to redeem the woman
00:21:24.51\00:21:28.38
but also the land
that came with that...
00:21:28.42\00:21:31.79
with that woman...
okay, in other words,
00:21:31.85\00:21:35.22
you'll see here that
00:21:35.26\00:21:36.93
they were to take on
the whole responsibility...
00:21:36.96\00:21:39.26
not just... they
were to raise the seed...
00:21:39.29\00:21:41.16
they were to take
her in, they were to...
00:21:41.20\00:21:42.56
anything that belonged to the
nearest of kin became theirs...
00:21:42.60\00:21:46.63
from the person that
had deceased became theirs.
00:21:46.70\00:21:48.47
Yvonne: They called it
"the Kinsman Redeemer. "
00:21:48.50\00:21:50.37
Ivor: Exactly,
the Kinsman Redeemer,
00:21:50.41\00:21:51.97
so, in this story... the
nearest of kin is like...
00:21:52.01\00:21:54.91
"Nah... I don't want all
that... I don't want to...
00:21:54.94\00:21:57.81
I got too much going on... "
00:21:57.85\00:21:59.61
so Boaz... look with
me in Ruth chapter 4,
00:21:59.65\00:22:02.68
look at what Boaz
does, in Ruth chapter 4...
00:22:02.72\00:22:04.82
and by-the-way that... that...
that term, "nearest of kin"
00:22:04.85\00:22:10.16
it means, "Redeemer...
" it means, "Redeemer"
00:22:10.19\00:22:13.50
what is Christ doing
in Revelation chapter 5?
00:22:13.53\00:22:16.80
He's standing
there to redeem humanity,
00:22:16.83\00:22:20.20
okay, so, let's
look at Ruth chapter 4,
00:22:20.24\00:22:23.57
chapter 4 verse 1...
00:22:23.61\00:22:24.94
James: And He's
become part of our kin...
00:22:24.97\00:22:27.04
He's become part of the
root... Ivor: Absolutely.
00:22:27.08\00:22:29.34
James: He's the Lion
of the Tribe of Judah,
00:22:29.38\00:22:30.71
King... but He's
become the root of David.
00:22:30.75\00:22:32.91
Ivor: So, look at Ruth
chapter 4 verse 1, "Then Boaz...
00:22:32.95\00:22:36.32
Then went Boaz up to the
gate and sat him down there,
00:22:36.35\00:22:40.46
And behold, the kinsman
of whom Boaz spake came by;
00:22:40.49\00:22:43.69
unto whom he said,
00:22:43.73\00:22:45.19
Ho! such a one, turn
aside, sit down here.
00:22:45.26\00:22:48.06
And he turned
aside and sat down.
00:22:48.10\00:22:50.50
And he took ten
men... " of the what?
00:22:50.53\00:22:52.87
"Elders of the city,"
so here you have Boaz...
00:22:52.93\00:22:56.17
he's calling together elders...
00:22:56.20\00:22:58.24
because he wants
something to be very public.
00:22:58.27\00:23:00.58
He says, "Sit down
here... " and they sat down,
00:23:00.61\00:23:02.84
and he said unto the kinsman,
Naomi, that is come again
00:23:02.88\00:23:05.98
out of the country of
Moab, selleth a parcel of land,
00:23:06.01\00:23:09.08
which was our
brother Elimelech's:
00:23:09.12\00:23:10.65
And I thought to
advertise thee, saying,
00:23:10.69\00:23:13.42
Buy it before the inhabitants,
00:23:13.46\00:23:15.59
and before the
elders of my people.
00:23:15.62\00:23:18.09
If thou wilt
redeem it, redeem it,
00:23:18.13\00:23:20.53
but if thou wilt not redeem it,
then tell me, that I may know:
00:23:20.56\00:23:23.60
for there is none to
redeem it beside thee;
00:23:23.67\00:23:25.70
and I am after thee. And
he said, I will redeem it. "
00:23:25.73\00:23:28.10
So, first he's like...
"Yeah, I'll take the land... "
00:23:28.14\00:23:30.21
but then Boaz says,
00:23:30.24\00:23:31.84
"What day thou buyest the
field at the hand of Naomi,
00:23:31.87\00:23:34.68
you must also buy it
also of Ruth the Moabites,
00:23:34.71\00:23:38.28
the wife of the dead,
00:23:38.31\00:23:39.78
to raise up the name of the
dead upon his inheritance. "
00:23:39.81\00:23:42.65
You have to take Ruth as well...
00:23:42.68\00:23:44.19
"The kinsman said, I
cannot redeem it for myself,
00:23:44.22\00:23:46.89
lest I mar my own inheritance:
redeem thou my right to thyself;
00:23:46.96\00:23:50.83
for I cannot redeem it. "
00:23:50.86\00:23:52.19
So, Boaz ends up buying the...
buying Ruth... redeeming Ruth...
00:23:52.23\00:23:57.07
and the land that came with her,
00:23:57.10\00:23:59.70
what is Jesus doing
in Revelation chapter 5?
00:23:59.73\00:24:03.67
He is buying the woman...
00:24:03.71\00:24:06.34
James: And the title
deed includes the land...
00:24:06.37\00:24:09.61
Ivor: Includes the land...
00:24:09.64\00:24:10.98
and the elders are there
to witness this redemption.
00:24:11.01\00:24:16.38
Yvonne: Wow!
"Ivor: In other words,
00:24:16.42\00:24:17.82
Boaz and Ruth" is a love story,
00:24:17.85\00:24:19.75
it's a romance,
now, check this out,
00:24:19.79\00:24:23.19
out of this
romance comes this lineage,
00:24:23.22\00:24:26.63
Obed, Jesse, David,
00:24:26.66\00:24:29.56
if this
redemption did not happen,
00:24:29.60\00:24:33.23
Naomi would not
have had offspring...
00:24:33.27\00:24:36.87
guess what's happening in our...
00:24:36.91\00:24:39.47
an offspring that
would have led to Jesus,
00:24:39.51\00:24:42.18
so, now, here, Jesus stands...
because of that transaction
00:24:42.21\00:24:45.55
and now He's saying, "It's
my time to return the favor. "
00:24:45.58\00:24:48.92
Yvonne: Wow!
00:24:48.95\00:24:50.29
Ivor: Humanity has no future,
00:24:50.32\00:24:51.65
but I want to produce
an offspring in this woman.
00:24:51.69\00:24:55.42
James: For
Hebrews and for Gentiles.
00:24:55.49\00:24:57.19
Ivor: That's
right... Yvonne: Wow!
00:24:57.23\00:24:58.73
Ivor: So, because of
Him, he stands saying,
00:24:58.76\00:25:01.36
"I will redeem
the woman and the man
00:25:01.40\00:25:03.00
and because of my redemption,
00:25:03.03\00:25:04.77
she is going to
have a great offspring,
00:25:04.80\00:25:06.67
a great multitude
which no man can number... "
00:25:06.70\00:25:10.97
and how are they born?
00:25:11.01\00:25:12.41
1st Peter tells us that
we are born again by what?
00:25:12.47\00:25:17.45
The Word of God,
00:25:17.48\00:25:19.45
what is the first
seal that goes out?
00:25:19.48\00:25:21.32
The Word of God... a
rider on a white horse
00:25:21.35\00:25:24.12
which is described
as the Word of God...
00:25:24.15\00:25:26.86
that rider on the white horse...
the Word of God goes out
00:25:26.89\00:25:29.92
and begins to multiply
seed of great multitude
00:25:29.99\00:25:34.10
so the story of the seven seals,
00:25:34.13\00:25:36.36
is the story of how
God redeems the woman
00:25:36.40\00:25:39.67
and multiplies the seed
that ends up with the 144,000
00:25:39.70\00:25:44.91
who were
redeemed from the earth.
00:25:44.94\00:25:48.18
James: And you see
that in verse five too,
00:25:48.21\00:25:49.98
it's a beautiful
picture. Ivor: Absolutely.
00:25:50.01\00:25:51.68
James: We're... we're running
out of time so we're not...
00:25:51.71\00:25:53.88
but we're going to come back and
we're going to summarize this...
00:25:53.92\00:25:56.12
bring it all together
00:25:56.15\00:25:57.49
and then move in to
the last part of the verses
00:25:57.52\00:25:59.25
because we don't want
to... we don't want to rush this
00:25:59.29\00:26:02.02
this is rich... this
is good stuff here...
00:26:02.06\00:26:05.39
Ivor: Think about this,
Christ... in the seven churches,
00:26:05.43\00:26:08.93
stands as merciful
00:26:08.96\00:26:10.77
to His Bride,
00:26:10.83\00:26:12.63
"I'm going to
be merciful to you,
00:26:12.70\00:26:14.14
please repent, I forgive you,
just repent... repent... repent,
00:26:14.17\00:26:16.74
under the seven
seals, He stands as Redeemer,
00:26:16.77\00:26:19.84
"I'm going to redeem you,
I'm going to give you seed... "
00:26:19.87\00:26:22.91
everything is a love story,
00:26:22.94\00:26:25.08
it all plugs to what
Christ is doing for His Bride.
00:26:25.11\00:26:28.78
James: He's drawing His
bride, He's redeeming His bride
00:26:28.82\00:26:32.12
and then... seven trumpets,
00:26:32.15\00:26:33.49
He's going to be
protecting His bride
00:26:33.52\00:26:35.92
and then in the
seven salvation signs,
00:26:35.96\00:26:37.89
He's going to be
moving His bride forward,
00:26:37.93\00:26:39.59
"Come on, let's
go... let's go, let's go...
00:26:39.63\00:26:41.20
let's go... follow me...
follow me... follow me...
00:26:41.23\00:26:43.77
follow me...
00:26:43.80\00:26:45.13
my people will be your people,"
00:26:45.17\00:26:47.80
when I got married,
my wife followed me...
00:26:47.84\00:26:49.40
up to the middle of
nowhere... but she followed me.
00:26:49.44\00:26:51.87
So then, so then
you read this again...
00:26:51.91\00:26:55.01
one of the elders
came to me and said,
00:26:55.04\00:26:58.08
"Behold, the Lion of the tribe
of Judah, the Root of David... "
00:26:58.11\00:27:01.42
okay, so what we're called to do
00:27:01.45\00:27:03.49
is just what
Ivor will bring on...
00:27:03.52\00:27:05.49
"Behold the Root of David... ,
00:27:05.52\00:27:06.86
go back and find out
about the Root of David
00:27:06.89\00:27:08.62
and how that all came about
and what that whole thing is"
00:27:08.66\00:27:10.99
because, it's going to
bring this beautiful picture...
00:27:11.03\00:27:13.26
this beautiful romance into the
Book of Revelation chapter 5.
00:27:13.29\00:27:16.03
Ivor: So he's saying,
"Behold He has redeemed us,"
00:27:16.06\00:27:18.10
right there in chapter
five... "He has redeemed us... "
00:27:18.13\00:27:20.14
why can we celebrate?
00:27:20.20\00:27:21.54
Because we're
going to have offspring,
00:27:21.57\00:27:22.90
much offspring,
because we now have a husband.
00:27:22.94\00:27:24.97

continue to be with us
00:27:58.51\00:28:01.21
during our studies and
be with the people at home

as they study and try and
get an understanding of prophecy
00:28:03.41\00:28:07.28
and the love story that
you have for us in Revelation,
00:28:07.32\00:28:11.12
