Revelation Lesson 29: The Scroll‘s Worthy Recipient!

As the Apostle John (caught-up in the Spirit to Heaven's Throneroom) was focused on the 7-sealed scroll in God's right hand, he heard a strong angel cry out, "Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof?"  That was the great question of time and eternity!  WHO is worthy to redeem man and earth from the domain of Satan?  Is there anyone or are we doomed to eventual self-destruction under the reign of the Wicked One?

The search began and ". . . no man in Heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon" (5:3).  From all the sons of Adam's ruined race, no man was worthy to take back the title deed to earth and break is seals so as to begin to execute judgment on the evil usurper.  John wept profusely at the thought of Satan being forever victorious over God in having stolen tenant possession of the earth from Him.  Ah, but there was no reason for John to weep!  There is One Who has "prevailed to open the book," and He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, and the standing slain Lamb!

This is a profoundly important and emotional study!  If you need to be "cheered-up," then tune-in and remind yourself what is about to take place in Heaven!  The Lion, Who is also the Lamb, is about to take back that which is rightfully His - this earth, and have absolute dominion over it!  This will take place BEFORE the Tribulation because it is what precipitates its seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments.
