Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the
throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as
it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Rev 5:7 And he came and took the book out of the
right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Daniel and
Revelation - by Uriah Smith-
"Seven Horns
and Seven Eyes."--Horns are symbols of power and eyes typify wisdom. Seven
is a number denoting completeness, or perfection. We are thus taught that
perfect power and perfect wisdom in here in the Lamb.
"He Came and
Took the Book."--Commentators have found an incongruity in the idea that
the book was taken by the Lamb, and have had recourse to several expedients to
avoid the difficulty. But is it not a well-established principle that any action
which could be performed by the person or being represented by a symbol, may be
attributed to the symbol? The Lamb, we know, is a symbol of Christ. We know
there is nothing incongruous in Christ's taking a book, and when we read that
the book was taken, we think of the action, not as performed by a lamb, but by
the one of whom the lamb is a symbol.

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God
gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to
pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
The WORTHY ONE took
the book.
The WORTHY ONE is
the ONLY ONE who can open this book.
The book was being
held out for the taking but only the One worthy to open the book could take it,
in any other's hands it would be pointless.
God the Father would
have us KNOW what will come to pass, but only in a way that would protect
generations and generations of people all the way to the end of the world as we
know it. Books are sealed and protected, books are closed until their allotted time
of comprehension. Eyes are allowed to be
blind, ears allowed to be deafened. On the other hand - eyes are allowed to be
opened, and ears unstopped. God is all
in all and all things will unfold in His time. We can only hope and pray to
have the eyesalve we so need to keep our eyes opened to all the truth that we
NEED. We cannot decide what we need or when we need it, God alone can do that
for us.
Our Savior - the
LAMB SLAIN, the PERFECT Savior went to God the Father and took the PERFECT book
because He alone was worthy of opening the perfect book to reveal God's truth
to us. We will know, and we will NOT have
the excuse of ignorance to use. None of us will be able to say that God did not
reveal the truth we would need to be prepared for the arrival of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ!
As all things come
to pass, which they will because history has proved so much has already
happened that was prophesized, there will be God's ELECT who will be His in the
end.
More on this
tomorrow… by God's WILL, through God's GRACE.
All in HIS LOVE.
