Revelation
5:1,2 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book
written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.(Eclectic
Notes:.Ezekiel
2:9,10). And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a
loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof?
Revelation
5:3 And no man.(original
for 'man', is 'one').in heaven.(*),
nor in Earth, neither under the Earth.(anyone
now dead who may have been qualified; just a way of saying that no one
was able to have power whether by virtue of one's own ability and resources
or of a state of mind or through favourable circumstances or by permission
of law or custom to open this book or even qualified to look at it),
was able to open the book.(what
book?), neither to look thereon.
Revelation
5:5 And
one of the elders said unto me, Weep not. Behold, the Lion of the tribe
of Judah.(Emmanuel
aka
Jesus:.Matthew
1:2,3 with Luke 3:33),
the Root of David.(Isaiah
11:1), has prevailed.(original
'conquered':.Revelation
19:16).to open the book
and to loose the seven seals thereof.
To
follow through the genealogy
to Emmanuel, read Matthew 1:1-17.
Revelation
5:6 And I beheld and lo,
in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts and in the midst of the
elders.(these
were some of the
spiritual family we can't yet see), stood a Lamb.(symbolic
of Emmanuel being the lamb
of God).as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are.(or,
represent).the seven Spirits
of God sent forth into all the Earth.
Revelation
5:7,8 And he came and took the book.(verses
1,2 above).out of the right
hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the
four
beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having
every one of them harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the
prayers of saints.
Revelation
5:9 And they sung a new song.(Revelation
15:3), saying, You are worthy to take the book and to
open the seals thereof. For you were slain and have redeemed us to God
by your blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation;
Such
a great reason to be happy right
now!
Revelation
5:10 And has made us
unto our God kings and priests. And we'll reign on Earth.
Finally
the long awaited kingdom of the Creator
will be
extant.
A king or queen
is one having great responsibility for others' welfare and they won't be
like the ones the Earth has had, which cared not for people at all but
only for themselves.
A priest is
a spiritual advisor to the king.
Revelation
5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many
angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders and the
number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands;
Revelation
5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to
receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing.
Revelation
5:13 And every creature which is in heaven.(and
who are they
all?).and on the Earth and
under the Earth and such as are in the sea and all that are in them, heard
I saying, Blessing and honour and glory and power, be unto him that sits
upon the throne.(the
Creator controls all).and
unto
the Lamb
for ever and ever.
ever.
Revelation
5:14 And the four beasts said,
Amen.
And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that lives
for ever and ever.
Revelation
6:1-5 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard,
as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and
see. And I saw and behold a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow
and a crown was given unto him and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come
and see. And there went out another horse that was red. And power was given
to him that sat thereon to take peace from the Earth, and that they should
kill one another and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he
had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And
I beheld, and lo a black horse and he that sat on him had a pair of balances
in his hand.
Revelation
6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure
of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny and see you
hurt not the oil and the wine.
Revelation
6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the
fourth beast.(here
the original word 'beast'
is 'being', a living being).say,
Come and see.
Revelation
6:8 And I looked and behold a pale horse.(one's
pale
if
severely
ill; original word for 'pale' is 'yellowish green'). And
his name that sat on him was Death and Hell followed with him. And power
was given unto them over the fourth part of the Earth, to kill with sword
and with hunger and with death and with the beasts.(here
the original word 'beasts'
is 'animal', metaphorically
'a brutal, bestial
man', 'savage,
'ferocious').of
the Earth.
The
word 'beast'
in Revelation 20:4 and in Daniel
7:3,17,23 have the same meaning as the word 'beasts'
here in verse 8.
Revelation
6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the
souls of them that were slain.(after
death one's soul lives on:.Ezekiel
18:4).for the word of God
and for the testimony which they held.
Original
word is correct for English word 'slain'
and also gives 'kill'.
It could also apply to.Colossians
3:3 "For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.".where
notes there show how you are dead.
Revelation
6:10,11 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell
on the Earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them and it
was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until
their fellowservants.(those
not Christian but are favored in mind because of their helpfulness to others:.Matthew
25:45).also and their brethren
that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Notes
on this fifth seal.
Revelation
6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal and lo,
there was a great Earthquake.(Revelation
8:13; 16:18).and
the sun became black as sackcloth of hair and the moon became as blood.
This
scripture alludes
to Matthew 24:29,30 and Acts
2:20.
Barnes
New Testament Notes:."The
word blood here means that obscure, sanguinary {blood like} colour which
the moon has when the atmosphere is filled with smoke and vapour and especially
the lurid and
alarming appearance which it assumes when smoke and flames are thrown up
by Earthquakes and fiery eruptions"
Revelation
6:13,14 And the stars of heaven fell unto the Earth, even as a fig
tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And
the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together and every mountain
and island were moved out of their places.
Revelation
16:18.
Revelation
6:15 And the kings of the Earth and the great men and the rich men
and the chief captains and the mighty men and every bondman.(those
having made an agreement to be under another's authority and that without
questioning, such as a political lackey,
policeman, etc. may be).and
every free man, hid themselves
in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Revelation
6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide us from
the face of him that sits on the throne and from the wrath of the
Lamb.
Those
who delight in doing evil things will face this fate, if they haven't changed
up to this time. Will they then awaken?
Matthew
24:19,20; Luke 21:23.
Revelation
6:17 For the great day of his wrath
is come and who shall be able to stand?
See
gene Decode on it at Acts 2:20.
