1 May 4, 2008 CHAPTER 5 VERSE 1: And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. A vision seen in its entirety The Doomsday Book Chapters 6-18 Then And I saw in the right hand (anthropomorphism: a human attribute kai horao epi dexzios given to God) God the Father of the past, seen in the future of (Him who sat) on the throne a kathemai epi thronos Doomsday Book of tribulation/prophecy (both sides) outside scroll written inside and on the back, Biblion grapho esothen kai opisthen having been sealed = prophetic sequence of historical until church age completed trends in tribulation sealed (with seven seals.) (First 6 seals revealed in Rev. 6) katasohagizo hepta sphragis sealed hapaxlegomenon: something said or occurring only once 155

2 VERSE 2: Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals? Sequential to be able Designation powerful=endowed to see higher creation Then I saw a strong angel kai horao ischoros angelos top ranking heralds Kings of Arms function as herald great or magnificent to announce proclaiming with a loud voice, kerusso en magos phone unknown person tribulation trends being sought or events break open Who is worthy to open the scroll Tis axzios anoigo sphragis 1. Worthiness is the issue as to who controls history. a. A lot of creatures (human or angel) try to control everything b. Characteristics 1. Moral generally superficially 2. Arrogant convinced they are better than everyone else 3. Self-righteous demand control of everything 2. Worthiness issue was solved at the first advent of Christ (enforced and genuine humility). Only creature (in humanity) worthy to control history! 3. When the Lord became humanity at the virgin birth, and continued to live in the prototype Divine Dynasphere, resulting in his impeccability and the function of His knoses, and went to the cross and was judged for our sins when they were imparted to Him, He won the strategic victory of the angelic conflict. He broke Satan s back in effect, on the cross along with providing for us so great a salvation. 4. Therefore worthiness belongs to Christ in the hypostatic union seated at the right hand of God the Father. 156

3 5. A worthiness expressed in Christ being awarded His 3 rd royal patent (King of Kings and Lord of Lords). 6. First Royal Patent received at birth vs. Lion of Tribe of Judah passage. Second Royal Patent received at resurrection and ascension. Knighted Third Royal Patent guarantees Jesus Christ controls history. (The Cross) The Royal Patents are equal worthiness 7. No one else in history (no creature) is qualified to open the sealed doomsday book at the tribulation. *Only Jesus Christ 8. Lord Jesus Christ received two Royal Patents related to His first advent one at the beginning and one at the end. 1. Point of virgin birth = Ruler of Israel forever 2. At the end he became King of Kings and Lord of Lords the victory of the angelic conflict *Only qualified person is the Lord Jesus Christ Remember this: - As you use the faith rest drill - As you learn to use the various rationales of bible doctrine - The one in whom you trust - The one in whom you depend everyday - The one in whom you cast your care This is the same One who controls history! break sealed during church age and to loose its seals? luo sphragis Seals will not occur until church removed In the Tribulation, historical trends are determined by prophecy Each seal represents a prophecy of tribulation trends The first six seals of the book indicate historical trends without reference to chronology: Things that will occur from time to time. The seventh seal is the source of both the trumpet and the goblet (vials) judgments, which are chronologically arranged. Therefore, the doomsday book includes general historical trends throughout the tribulation (seals 1-6), then consequent historical judgments in the seventh seal, which will include the vials and trumpets. o But no restrainer during this time. 157

5 VERSE 4: So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. not a good John showing his weakness not thinking only emotional wept and wept So I wept much, because no one kai kliao polus hoti oudeis Wept - John knows that Jesus Christ controls history (He wrote about it in Chapter 1) but he has forgotten temporarily. One of the greatest aberrations among believers is to forget a doctrine just when you need it the most. The reason for this is fear or something similar. Fear destroys your ability to think (fear = lack of thinking). Once fear enters emotions take over. This is why John wept for all the wrong reasons. Christianity is a relationship, not a religion 1. Num. 14:1-2 - Bad weeping 2. Phil. 3:18-19 Paul/frustration 3. James 5:1 Trapped in Cosmic system/misery! 4. John 11:13 Jesus weeping 5.

This becomes the family of God. These are examples of prophecy before and prophecy after the church age, never mentioning the church age: Dan. 7:23 right up to church age Dan. 7:24 skips over church age to tribulation Dan. 2:40 Jewish age ends Dan. 2:41 tribulation begins The term mystery concept in the Bible means no prophecy. Dr. Ellis Schaeffer developed term the intercalation for the insertion of the church age which equals the intensification of the angelic conflict; Romans 16:25-26; Eph. 3:1-6; Col. 1: As goes the believer so goes the church age. Christ said on this rock I will build my church. The term build is a future tense oikodomeo which means it has not happened as of that verse. The term rock equals baptism of the Holy Spirit and Christ. The Greek term for rock is petra ; large, immovable rock. Peter is petros or a chip off the rock. Trivia: Isa. 65:20 people can live entire 1000 years/only reason for death is capital punishment. 1. Millennium is promised II Sam. 7:11; Psalm Millennium is prophesied Isa. 2: Millennium is presented Gospels 4. Millennium is postponed Church 5. Millennium is plagiarized Beast and False Prophet 6.

13 Prayers of tribulation believers will deliver them from historical disaster; they do not change historical trends. And the Lord does not stop making the world hurt. While historical trends or disaster must go on in history, and they will, effective prayers from believers mean deliverance and even blessing during time of historical disaster.
