The word 'God' usually signifies 'Lord', but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God
― Isaac Newton
So last week we started our journey in Revelation 1:1-4. Today we are going to focus on Revelation 1:5-6
and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. -Revelation 1:5-6 (ESV)
The List:
1) Jesus is the faithful witness.
2) Jesus is the firstborn of the dead
3) Jesus is the ruler over the kings of the earth
4) He loves us
5) His blood has freed us from our sins
6) He has made us a Kingdom (Jesus made a Kingdom order)
7) Again he has made us. (Jesus included us as a part of his Kingdom)
8) We are priests in Jesus kingdom
(Our role in the kingdom is that of a priest, that is a huge topic. But the general idea is…we get to be close to the King and love on and minister to Him)
9) Jesus answers to God ("Priests to his God")
10) God is Jesus’ Father (“God and Father”)
11) Jesus is gets the Glory Forever
12) Jesus has dominion (or some would say ruling power forever)
Declarations:
Jesus, you are the faithful witness.
You are faithful
You are the firstborn from the dead
You rule over the Kings of the earth…from Kings past to to rules now and not yet
Your shed blood has freed me from my sins
You created a Kingdom
You made me part of that Kingdom
You made me a priest in your Kingdom
You submit to God’s will
God is your father
You will get all the glory forever.
You will rule and reign
Your dominion will last forever.
This Week's Song:
You loved us
Your blood has freed us
You loved us Your blood has freed us
You have made me a priest
In your kingdom Forever, giving you the glory
You have dominion forever
This is your eternal pleasure
You will get the all the glory forever
You will reign
Your dominion will last forever

You brought me in
To worship to the King
To love you without ceasing
Jesus You are King of Kings
