5 Then one of the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin]
said to me, Stop weeping! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root
(Source) of David, has won (has overcome and conquered)! He can open the scroll
and break its seven seals!
·
Notice that the
elder shares the Truth that Jesus has won. The elder does not tell John that
Jesus will win, but that He has won! Jesus is the only power that can unleash
the Truth. For those of us that are saved, there comes great victory with the
unsealing of the scroll, for those who are not saved, great tribulation. Either
way Jesus is in complete control of breaking open the seals. For us, His body,
His friends, this brings peace, because the Truth sets us free. The opening of
the Seven Seals brings us peace because we are one with Jesus and we have passed
from death unto life, just as Jesus has. Through Christ we are not appointed
unto wrath and there is now no condemnation for us, Romans 8:1. So let the seals be broken and let the Truth and the
consequences of the Truth rush from the scroll, the perfect love our Father has
cast out all fear from us as the events of Revelation are taking place.

[God] disarmed
the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold
display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it
[the cross]. Colossians 2:15
·
And the
Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but
see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades
(the realm of the dead). Revelation
1:18
·
Jesus is strong
enough to make the secrets of God known to us. That is why He came, not just so
that we could spend eternity with our Father, but so that everything that God is
and everything that He has could be made known to us, John 17:26. The front and the back of the scroll is filled with
our Father’s Truth, and Jesus makes it all known to us. This is our Lord’s
Revelation of the Truth and it is our Father’s will that we know it in its
entirety!
·
Also during the
last days our Father’s Spirit will be poured out on all men.
·
And it shall come
to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy
[telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and your old
men shall dream [divinely
suggested] dreams. Acts 2:17
·
The last days
will bring revelation upon revelation. There will be messages of power and
Truth as the world has never seen before. The power of Christ will flow through
us and we will be used to do the works that Jesus was used to do and our Father
will even do greater works through us, John 14:12.
