God Has A Plan
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
God Has A Plan
Revelation 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of Him Who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals.
No One Can Reveal It To Us!
Revelation 5:2-3 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.
If God’s Plan Is Unknowable, Then All Is Lost
Revelation 5:4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.
Despair Is Dispersed At The Appearance Of The Lion Of Judah And The Root Of David
Revelation 5:5 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.”
The Lord Identifies On His Throne As The Lamb Of God SLAIN
Revelation 5:6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders.
The Plan Of God Is Revealed By The Lamb Of God
Revelation 5:6-7 He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He came and took the scroll from the right hand of Him Who sat on the throne.
The Person Of The Lamb Inspires Worship
Revelation 5:8 When He took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Eternal Praise Springs From His Worship
Revelation 5:9-10 They sang a new song: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, with Your blood You purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God and they will reign on the earth.”
Even God’s Angels Praise Him For His Plan!
Revelation 5:11-12 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: “Worthy is the Lamb, Who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”
God’s Plan Answers Everything And Everyone
Revelation 5:13-14 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea and all that is in them, singing: “To Him Who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
God’s Omniscience Anticipated Our Need
1 Peter 1:20 He was chosen before the creation of the world but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
