Rev 5 The Lamb and the Scroll

The determinetruth's Podcast

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie explore Rev 5. It is at this point that the main story of Revelation begins to unfold. Jesus is Lamb who was slain and He is worthy to take the Scroll and to open it! What's on the Scroll? It is God's will and His plan for redeeming the creation.

Notes:

“strong angel” 7x (5:2; 10:1, 5, 8, 9, 10; 18:21)

Scroll: “the content of the scroll is God’s redemptive plan”

“Servant songs” Isa 42:1; 44:1; 49:1-6; Isa 52:13, 14-53:12; Acts 8:25-35

5:5-6 is critical for understanding the book of Revelation

1st John’s use of hearing and seeing

2nd Jesus is the Lamb/Lion

3rd This becomes the major source for understanding what “overcome” looks like.

4th Jesus and death and resurrection are the key!

Nations are important to the story

5:9; 7:9—the people of God come from the nations

21:24, 26; 22:2—They walk in the New Jerusalem

The people of God have been redeemed in order that we might reign!: “reign upon the earth” (5:10

Exod 19:4-6

A proper understanding of Revelation’s narrative begins with recognizing the centrality of Jesus as the slain Lamb.
