Text: Revelation 5:5
Intro: The scene is the throne of God. Time has ceased to exist; it is now eternity. The saints of all ages have gathered to see Jesus. There we read of the mighty throne where great bursts of light flash forth from God. John said it was more dazzling than a glittering diamond or a shining ruby. There a curved rainbow encircled his throne. (Rev.4:8) (Rev. 4:11 KJV) (Rev. 5:1-4, LB) The scroll in the hand of God is the great volume of judgment about to fall upon planet earth during the Tribulation Period. No mortal can touch the book, nor can the angels. (Rev.5:5, LB) Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah! As He takes the scroll from the Father, all of heaven erupts with a new song. (Rev.5:9,10; LB) (Rev.5:12, LB) These eyes of mine will one day behold it all! I shall see Him as He truly is!
