The Coming Of The Lamb

Hi! and happy holy and family day to all of us, GUYS.  Our first-thing-first this Sunday:

THE GOOD NEWS (10 April 2016)

"I went on looking; I heard the noise of a multitude of angels gathered around the throne, the living creatures and the elders, numbering millions of millions, crying out with a loud voice: 

Worthy is the LAMB who was slain to receive

power and riches, wisdom and strength

honor, glory and praise.

Then I heard the voice of the whole universe, heaven, earth, sea and the place of the dead; every creature cried out:

To HIM who sits upon the throne and to the LAMB

be praise, honor, glory and power for

ever and ever.

And the four living creatures said, Amen, while the elders bowed down and worshiped." - Revelation 5:11-14

The Four Living Creatures

(Now, CHRIST can read the Book of the history and destiny of humankind [power, riches, and wisdom: Still more, HE is now the owner of this Book, and in being rejected by Israel, a priestly people [Exodus 19:6], HE formed HIS own kingdom and priests, the Church [1 Peter 2:9], as is said in verse 10.

A LAMB standing, although it had been slain.  The vision brings us to the moment of the resurrection.  While the Gospels relate the resurrection of JESUS, as HIS disciples knew it on earth, here we are in heaven to contemplate the risen CHRIST entering a glorious world.  HE is standing after being sacrificed, glorious, but forever marked by HIS Passion.

Let us note how on the day of the resurrection, the same praise previously addressed to GOD now goes to the LAMB: in being raised up, CHRIST appears with the glory befitting HIM: that of GOD.)
