Jesus the Lamb {Rev 5:7-8}
Revelation 5:7 "And the Lamb came and took the book from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. Revelation 5:8 And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders stood before the Lamb.
and fell on their faces, each having a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints."
--------------------------------------
In the Bible, Jesus was called "the Lamb. or the Lamb of Atonement." In the Old Testament, the word lamb was used for the lamb to be sacrificed, and Jesus was called the “sacrificial lamb.” John the Baptist said, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” In the Old Testament, a lamb was used as a "sacrifice" for God's holy people. A pure lamb without blemish or spot was sacrificed in place of the sinful and sinful man. The amazing thing is that when offered as a sacrifice, he was presented as a weak and weak being like a “Lamb”, but when he was offered as a sacrifice and the work of atonement was accomplished, Jesus would have “the iron spear and the power of heaven” {Rev 19:15} In addition, he will appear as a great person who has human judgment and judgment on the earth.
In Revelation 19:15 we read, “Out of his mouth a sharp sword came with which he will strike against the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, and he will tread the winepress of the fierce wrath of God the Almighty.” The iron rod refers to something like a baton made of iron. The baton held and commanded by the king is called a "scepter". When held by ordinary people, there is no power and power, but when the king is holding it, it shows authority, power and power. God-given authority is in the iron rod that Jesus is holding. This authority belongs to those who believe in Jesus.
I hope you believe it.
In Acts 3:1-9, even when Peter healed a lame man, he exclaimed, 'In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, get up and walk.' The name of Jesus is the keeping point of all problems. Unsolved tasks will be resolved if you start, follow, and entrust them in the name of Jesus. Life in the world becomes difficult because I put my name, honor, and power in the place of Jesus. Look. Psalm 127:1 says, "Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps watch in vain." People keep dropping the name of Jesus and trying to put their own name first. He is trying to put his powers ahead. put your skills ahead
I am concerned. As a result, it becomes more difficult. If you understand and sympathize, let's do = Amen =.
Likewise, Jesus died for me and made us alive from death, curse, sin, and death. Jesus became the “sacrificial sacrifice” to save me. I am the one who will fall from the high bell tower and die, but Jesus put a crown of thorns on his head instead of me, nailed it to his hands and both feet, and was pierced with a spear in his chest and died “blooded”. Amen if you understand. = Amen =
1. What about a lamb?
Jesus came as the Lamb and died on the cross for me. He came to this earth, suffered severe persecution and suffering, and died in the place of the elect. Isaiah 53:5 says, “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and with his wounds we are healed.”
Jesus died on the cross for me. I suffered for you. You suffered for me. Satan danced when Jesus died on the cross. Knowing that I had won, I sang. They put Jesus' body in the tomb and rejoiced. But Jesus, who was completely rotten and corrupted, came to life only three days after he died. He did not end with death, but resurrected after three days and became the King of Kings. You have become my lord. You are my Lord.
2.Jesus the Judge?
1} Looking at the text? He said that he took the book from the hand of the one who sat on the throne. The book of the one with the throne is the "book of judgment." Jesus proudly took the Book of God's Throne and became the "Judge". Jesus was perfect in power, in knowledge, in authority. 2} When Jesus the Lamb took the book, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down and worshiped. The four living creatures represent nature, and the 24 elders represent the saints. They bowed down to Jesus and worshiped him with glory and honor. The harp in verse 8 speaks of praise and the incense speaks of prayer and the deeds of the saints. The Lord is calling on us today to "praise and fragrant incense." An angel is here to "gather prayers and praises" to go to the Lamb Jesus. The angel is waiting. I hope you believe it.
Let's read it together. Revelation 5:8 "And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." It is truly amazing. How many prayers and praises are our saints in the golden bowl that the angel is holding at this hour today? The more it is full, the more the Lord likes it. The more we pray and praise and the golden bowls overflow, the Lord is pleased. In the Old Testament, the priests used incense in the temple. In Leviticus 16:12-13, when the priests burn incense and burn incense, they cover their sins and appearances through the incense smoke to avoid death. If the fragrance is low, the sinner will die. The more we pray, the more the blood of curses and failures flowing through us boils and God's blessings come upon us. Congratulations on believing.
In Exodus 30:37-38, it says, “Do not make incense in your own way, but make it holy in God’s way.” If you pray in your own way, it will not be answered. In 2 Chronicles 26:16-21, "When King Uzziah, who sinned, was about to burn incense, his servants stopped him. Then, when Uzziah became angry in front of the incense altar, God turned Uzziah into a leper." He taught us the lesson that we should not do it as a joke when we pray and that we should burn incense according to the will of the Lord with sincerity and sincerity.
will give In Luke 1:10, it is said that the people were praying outside the temple and the angel of the Lord appeared when Zachara was performing the priestly duties according to the order and was offering incense. The moment the incense was burned, an angel appeared. Believe me
It is. Therefore, worship and prayer are times of “incense.” Praise is a time to glorify. An angel has come and the Holy Spirit is at work to fill this space with the energy of God. Therefore, I ask you to restrain your children, to concentrate on the sermon with all your heart, and to concentrate on your prayers. You must focus all your heart on worship to receive great grace.
3. The prayers of saints are received by the Lord through angels.
Let's read Revelation 8:3-4. “Another angel came and stood by the altar, and took a golden censer, and received much incense, that he might offer it on the golden altar before the throne, along with the prayers of all the saints. “Praise and prayer are incense. Smell, sound and voice. Burning the incense of juniper removes the rotten odor. The sound of hymns and prayers extinguishes Satan's disease, confusion, and corruption. It removes the corruption of the world, the power of Satan, and the influence of demons. And it is delivered to the Lord and answered as it is. filled with prayer and praise
I wish you good luck
