THE LAMB IS TO BE WORSHIPPED. Every redeemed person to gather around the throne of the Lord, accompanied by myriad’s of angels whose numbers are thousands of thousands [Numerical possibilities are without number] and ten times ten thousand, which is one hundred million. What a sight to behold, a mass of spiritual beings gathered in one place, with one purpose, all reacting in unison. Beings of light, shining and scintillating, reflecting the glory of the throne. What a choir, with one voice they sing loudly a hymn of adoration unto the Lamb. Rev. 5:11
BEATITUDES OF THE LAMB. The worthiness of the sacrificed Lamb is proclaimed. It is His to receive power, all power has been relegated to Him, whether in heaven or in earth. That makes Him, one powerful person. Mt. 28:18 He is worthy of riches. The connotation of which goes far beyond the mere riches of this world and embraces the fullness of everything of value, be they temporal or spiritual, All things, the entirety of everything. are by Him and for Him. Col. 1:16 He is wisdom personified, for in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. All wisdom is to be found in Him, secular or spiritual wisdom is manifest in Him. Luke 7:35 Of His ability and strength there is no end, it is limitless. Our source of strength is to be found in Him. Eph. 6:10 The completeness of honor and dignity belong to Him. Jesus is indeed of great and precious price to all who have found Him as savior and Lord. The Lord Jesus wears honor and glory as a crown. It is not difficult for the redeemed to magnify and glorify the Lord Jesus. Heb. 2:7 We bless Him in song, in prayer and in praise. We bless Him with a life that is lived according to His will. We bless the Lord at all times for He is abundantly worthy. The early church set an example for us by consistently and constantly, praising and blessing the Lord. Luke 24:53
ALL DESTINED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. Amazingly, every created creature in heaven, on earth, in the grave and in the sea will give blessing, honor glory and power to the occupant of the throne and to the Lamb. There may have been a time when they ignored Him but that will change. Rev. 5:13 God has most highly exalted the Lord Jesus to the highest of places and has bestowed upon Him a name which exceeds all other names. There is not another like that of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the greatest. That name is more beneficial than all others combined into one. The day will come when all these creatures will bow before Him and confess that Jesus Christ, is Lord. To the glory of the Father. However, it will be too late then for any to find salvation. Today is the day of salvation. Phil. 2:9-11 What a sight that will be when what is literally the universe will pay obeisance to Him. Confessing that He is who He is and that He is exactly what He is. How much better to acknowledge Him now as Lord and savior. Committing our lives unto Him is full surrender and working his will. Pleasing Him in all things.
