5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
More imagery. I enjoy reading and trying to create these images in my mind but at the same time I have trouble finding meaning or something to learn. I see the clear references to Jesus but am waiting for the teaching or insight to be gained from the message.
So we are fortunate we had Jesus who is the only one able to break the 7 seals to open the scrolls, but at the moment I don't know what is written on the scrolls and I don't honestly remember from previous Revelation reading if we will find out. I'll wait and see.

I feel like I should be reading a book, to help my pea brain make sense out of revelation.
ReplyDeleteThe quick take is that Jesus is the only one that can save us,.....and he's already done it. That is great news, and would have definitely be of great comfort to the early church.
With all that we have read over the past couple of years, I'm always trying to put myself out of my own perspective and to see things through God's eyes. So, with crazy visions like this, I'm trying to figure out why its here, and what is he trying to tell us?
On the surface it looks like an completely unbelievable place, where the worship of the Father is constant.....and there's a TON of angels/spirits/beings there. Jesus has made it possible for me to see and inhabit this place.
Maybe I should just take it at face value.
