Search The Scriptures —Study 9 — Revelation 5

Study 9 From the Book of Revelation is: Revelation 5
1-     Of what does this vision assure us concerning the purpose and the results of Christ’s earthly sacrifice—as ‘the Lamb who was slain’?
2-     What is it that here prompts ‘a new song’ (verse 9)? How many ultimately join in the singing? What difference is there in qualification to sing on the part of those who do sing? See 14:3. Have you discovered why you should sing?
Notes
1-     Verse 1. ‘A scroll’: this is the book of destiny. It declares God’s purposes of judgment and blessing for this world. Some regard it as the title-deed to the inheritance with Christ has procured for Himself and for His fellow-men by His redeeming work.
2-     Verses 5, 6. Note the tense, ‘has conquered’. The victory is already won. Cf. 3:21. See also Jn. 12:31, 32. The occasion here seen in vision is that of Christ return from the cross of the throne of God as the Lamb that ‘had been slain’. He is at once invested into His universal dominion. Cf. Mt. 28:18; Heb. 2:9; 10:12, 13.
