“The LAMB"
CROWNED
“Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain,
standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures
and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits
of God sent out into all the earth.”
Rev 5:6
The Lord has been
stirring my heart with a desire to understand Jesus as the Lamb of God
standing,”looking as if slain” in
the center of the throne……
Every time I would
look at a painting of the Jesus as the Lamb He was gentle and kind, which are
TRUE about Jesus but my heart would wonder where is the warrior bridegroom
coming to rescue and save!!
I sought the Lord about it and God began
to answer my questions, not in language, but in imagery as He unveiled
Revelation 5:6-14,
“He came and
took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. And when he
had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down
before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of
incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song:
“You are
worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased men
for God
from every tribe and language and
people and nation.
You have made them to be a kingdom
and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign on the earth.”
Then I
looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands,
and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living
creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and
wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”
Then I heard
every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and
all that is in them, singing:
“To him who sits on the throne and to
the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and
power,
for ever and
ever!”
The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders
fell down and worshiped.”
Jesus You ARE beautiful and worthy of ALL praise &
honor & glory & power give us the GRACE to fall more in love with You!
To Seek the depths of Your heart!

Jennifer, I don't know if you remember me or not. My husband and I stayed at Gateway GetaWay in April. I just got around to blogging about it and I mentioned you and included a link in my blog. It's a small world.
