Christ in Revelation - The Heir. (part 2)

                                        The Scroll

 

                  TheScroll.jpg

 

God promised His Son & Heir the nations as His inheritance, (Ps. 2: 8)  & said He would bring them to Christ`s footstool, (for His possession – Ps. 110: 1) Christ then will deal with these nations plus deliver Israel from its enemies.

 

When Christ is given the scroll, only He is able to open & read what is written. This is symbolic of Him receiving the authority over the earth & bringing the judgments that have been sealed up by God.  This `sealing up,` is represented by the 7 seals, showing that it will be a complete judgment upon the nations.   (7 in Heb. means to be complete)

 

This judgment is upon the rebellious nations of the earth who operate under the control & power of Satan. They consider that they control their own affairs & that they are the sole arbiter of their destiny. But Satan & the nations however, do not have the final say. There is a higher authority controlling the world systems & shaping the nations according to His Divine Will.

 

As the Lord Jesus Christ opens the scroll we are shown how He is bringing mankind to judgment. He gathers the nations into large confederacies, exposes their motives, and then corrals them into one area for judgement.

The first Great Federation being brought to judgment has a crown & has been conquering. This is the British Commonwealth (& America) which is ruled by a Monarch, (crown).

 

The second Great Federation has shed much blood. This is the Russian Federation that has killed over 40 million people in its prisons & concentration camps.

 

The third Great Federation has brought economic poverty to the world. This is the European Union with its philosophy of a common market (free trade), that the world has embraced.


 

These nations are brought to Christ`s feet, ready for judgment.

 

 The final Great Federation only comes to power in the tribulation & treads down the others, for Satan himself & his demons give it his power & authority. This is the demonic force of Islam.

 

As the Lord then opens the scroll further we are shown the martyrs whom Christ will avenge, then the final cataclysmic judgments shaking the heavens & the earth to such an extent that even great leaders & mighty men are hiding, fearful of God`s wrath.

 

Amid these terrible judgments there are people who repent – the 144,000 priests of Israel & the great multitude.

 

Finally the 7th seal is opened & there is silence in heaven. There are no more thundering & lightnings of judgments for the Lord has left the third heaven & will then be on His way to earth to deliver Israel & judge the people of the nations.

May I ask why you put America with British Commonwealth, I would have thought they are separate as in BC #1 America #2

The Monarch thing does not fit America (yet)

Hi coheir,

Even though I PM d`s you the answer, when I couldn`t post, I will answer here for those who would like to read.

I did not separate America, for God`s word does not separate them, but shows them partnering with the British Commonwealth. They are a Great Federation that is quite identifiable today with the emblems of Lion & Eagle. They are separate nations but they operate as a Federation, always working together - eg the Allies in WW2 & subsequent wars.

The Monarch does not fit America, but then God is showing where this great nation came from & what Federation it is a part of - the Lion Federation.

sigh.. the folly of man, who would sooner die in his transgressions than to admit he is wrong! that is why Jesus is so amazing i guess that he has managed to come against this folly and 2000 years later he is still being talked about.

i have for a while been thinking that there is a bigger picture than the bigger picture if that makes sense, as the corporeal seems so one dimensional and fickle.

it does make me wonder as these things have long been foretold and yet satan thinks he has a chance i guess it's that transgression again! one thing i am noticing is that time seem to be increasing in rapidness, might be just a thursday afternoon feeling!

think i will need a big cushion to hide behind and some ear defenders!

Hi mabel,

Yes I quite understand what you are thinking - that the unseen realm, (the bigger picture behind the big one) is affecting things here on earth. I boil it all down to - is that person, group, driven to save the world, or am I being drawn to the Lord, settling in my spirit.

Concerning Satan & all who are deceived by him, well deception means you are blind to actually what is really happening, (the truth). Thus they keep thinking that their way will prevail. Deluded.

No need to hide, just watch the `show,` & encourage yourself in the Lord that He is your protection.
