| REVELATION • Victory in Jesus • LESSON 11 (June 24) Revelation 5: Worthy is the Lamb Who
Was Slain 1. It’s especially important in a book like Revelation that we pay
attention to words like “then” when we begin studying a new chapter. For
instance, “Then I saw…” (5:1). Thinking back to our last lesson, what’s the
context? 2. By way of reminder, who is the one “who was
seated on the throne” (5:1)? 3. When a
Hebrew (or anyone living 2,000 years ago) thought of a sealed scroll, what
would come to mind? 4. We get the sense that something important
is being conveyed in Revelation 5:1-4. What is it? 5.
Revelation 5:5-6 is full of important information. In what way is the
Son of God: ❖ The Lion of the tribe of
Judah –❖ The Root of David – ❖ A Lamb
standing, as though it had been slain –
6. Have you noticed how the number “seven” keeps coming up in this
revelation? Take a quick look back. Where have you noticed it? Do you think
there is any significance to it? 7.
One of the elders assures John that “the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root
of David, has conquered” (5:5). How had he conquered? Who or what had he
conquered? How do we know? 8. The
twenty-four elders are pictured as holding “golden bowls full of incense,
which are the prayers of the saints” (5:8). What has just been revealed to
us? Why does it matter? 9. What can we
learn from the new song that is sung once the Lamb takes the scroll from the
one who is seated on the throne (5:9-10)?
10. “And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the
earth and in the sea, and all that is in them…” (5:13) How could this be true?
What does it mean? |
