Worship.

Finally there is a great anthem of praise and worship for what the Lord has done through His ministries, (King, sacrifice, man and deity, represented by the `living creatures.) The Body of Christ prostrate in honour and worship before the Lord. 

                                                      

                                         `Now when He had taken the scroll,

                   the four living creatures and the 24 Elders fell down before the Lamb,

                           each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense,

                                        which are the prayers of the saints.`

                                                                                          (Rev. 5: 8)

 

The `new song,` the song of the redeemed proclaim that the Lord is worthy for through His sacrifice they have been made kings and priests. 

 

                               `And they sang a new song, saying:

                                                       “You are worthy to take the scroll,

                                                   and to open its seals; for you were slain,

                                                  and have redeemed us to God by your blood

                                               out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,   

                                                   `and have made us kings and priests to our God;

                                                           and we shall reign  over the earth.`

                                                                                                       (Rev. 5: 10)

 

What an immense choir of praise and worship giving Christ the 7 fold blessing.

 

                            `Then I looked and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne,

                                                           the living creatures, the Elders,

            and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,

                                                             saying with a loud voice:

                                                   `Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

                      to receive power & riches & wisdom, & strength & honour & glory & blessing.`

                                                                                                                          (Rev. 5: 12)

 

One day, in eternity every creature will not only acknowledge Christ but worship the Father and the Son.

 

                               `And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth

                        and under the earth and as are in the sea, and all that are in them,

                                                                   I heard saying:

                                        “Blessing and honour and glory and power

                     be to Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

                                                                                                                         (Rev. 5: 13)

 

Christ`s living ministries, which is His work as King, sacrifice, man and deity, bring Him honour. The Body of Christ, (24 Elders) who are in glory because of all Christ had done, are overcome and fall down at His feet and worship Him.

 

                                                 `Then the four living creatures said “Amen!”

                                             And the 24 Elders fell down and worshipped Him

                                                            who lives forever and ever.`

                                                                                                (Rev. 5: 14)

 

 

Summing up, we have looked at the Lord Jesus Christ as, Eternal King, and now as Heir.

He has all power as King, the highest position as Lord and has possession of all, as Heir.

How He will use this power in the fulfillment of God`s great Covenant with man, we will see as we further study this great prophecy of Revelation.
