Revelation 5:1–4 [Session 47]

September 24, 2015 by Mark Trotter

God’s Book Of Unfinished Business, Part 1

As we come into Revelation chapter five, it is a doozy! A book is revealed in heaven that MUST be opened—but no one in the entire universe is found worthy to open it! It is so traumatic to John, he bursts into weeping! Yes, even in Heaven!

So, just what is this “book?”

Recap in 10 Tweets

  1. Whereas everything in Rev. 4 was centered on the THRONE, everything in Rev. 5 centers on a BOOK. #WordStrong
  2. It is apparent by John’s reaction in Rev. 4:4 that he knows what this book is. Our problem is that we DON’T! #WordStrong
  3. By comparing Scripture with Scripture, we learn that this book is actually the “Title Deed of the Earth.” #WordStrong
  4. Understanding what this book is, we understand why God ultimately included the provision of the Kinsman-Redeemer in His Word. #WordStrong
  5. The requirements of the Kinsman-Redeemer in the OT was that he had to be a BLOOD RELATIVE, he had to be ABLE…and WILLING. #WordStrong
  6. As our Kinsman-Redeemer, Jesus became our BLOOD RELATIVE, and was both ABLE and WILLING to redeem us. #WordStrong
  7. A search is made in heaven for someone in heaven, on the earth and under the earth, to open the book. #WordStrong
  8. The question being asked about opening the book wasn’t who was WILLING to open it, but who was WORTHY to open it! #WordStrong
  9. The strong angel asks, “Who is WORTHY to open the Book?” And there is absolutely NO REPLY from the entire universe! #WordStrong
  10. John then did something that no man to that point had ever done in heaven…He WEPT! In fact, he wept MUCH! #WordStrong
