"And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence." Colossians 1:18 There is practical application to our daily lives when we see this lamb with seven horns and seven eyes in revelation 5. Do you realize that he is the firstborn of many brethren? This means the ascended Christ standing here is the first human being to stand before the throne of God. He is bringing us in through his completed work. And now He is handed the scroll with seven seals and able to open it up which means he is able to head up all things in the universe through the church and certainly through your individual lives. As a matter of fact the way he heads up the universe is through you and me which is the heading up of the church and ultimately the heading up of the universe. This is the unfolding of the seven seals that he might have the preeminence in all things. "And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing as having just been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." (Revelation 5:6) "For here is the stone that I have set before Joshua — upon one stone are seven eyes. I will engrave its engraving, declares Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day." (Zechariah 3:9)
