In this week’s study, I continue in Chapter 5, with the Vision still taking place in heaven. John is now describing the Book in the right hand of the One sitting on the throne.
Chapter 5
Here, as in A. 4:1-8-, we have the Throne. But, here it is rather Him that sitteth upon the throne, than the Throne itself.
A | h | 1-. Right hand. "And I saw...
i | -1. A Book.
k | 2-5. The Lion. "And I saw...
k | 6. The Lamb. "And I saw...
i | 7-. The Book. "And he came...
h | -7. Right hand. "Out of the right hand.
3. strong = “is-khoo-ros'” [From is-khoos' a derivative of ἱς his (force;]; forcible (literally or figuratively): - boisterous, mighty (-ier), powerful, strong (-er, man), valiant.
angel = ang'-el-osFrom ἀγγέλλω aggellō; to bring tidings); a messenger; especially an “angel”. “whose call could reach to the farthest limits of the universe”
Worthy = ax'-ee-os; deserving, comparable or suitable (as if drawing praise). Don’t look over the fact that John makes mention of ‘a strong angel’. If we conclude that this angel is supernatural and has supernatural strength, then this book must be something very special for an angel not to open it.
First of all take note the 3 different areas where man is! How can some say there is no one in Heaven, if this isn’t true? Why would John write this if this weren’t true?
Under = “ hupokato” down under beneath. My thought on this is, if Yahweh is in His throne which suppose is to be true North, then what is opposite of North, South, far away from Him.
Earth = “ge” land, as distinct from waters or earth as distinct from Heaven or region or territory, used of one special land or country, as distinct from other countries, in which people dwell each on its own soil.
Allow me to clear up some things before I begin. First of all you will hear me use the words Yahweh and Yahshua Messiah instead of God and Jesus Christ. I found out through the years that the word God may not necessarily mean the same to everyone. For instance, in Freemasonry the number 1 requirement is that you believe in a God. Doesn’t matter what religion you are as long as you believe in a God. I personally like to use these words Yahweh and Yahshua Messiah. To me this puts me in a closer spiritual relationship with our Creator. I am not a so called Messianic Teacher! I come to realize that every time I inhale or exhale I am saying Yahweh. Try saying Yahweh and see if you are not inhaling and exhaling. After all we our created in His image!
My intention is to take this study to a deep level. Deeper than most of you are used to! I am asking no one to agree with me; however I do ask that you check every detail that I present out for yourself.
Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’
But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’
