The Seven Sealed Book

Rev. 5

"And I saw lying on the open hand of Him Who was seated on the throne a (book) scroll written within and on the back, [that infers both inside and outside]closed and sealed with seven seals.

We are the seven-sealed book of life in the hand of our God and we have life and instruction and purpose written both inside and outside of us. We have an inner kingdom and relationship with our God where the secrets of his heart are made known to us and we are coded to become an outward manifestation of this inward glory too.

And I saw a strong angel announcing in a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll? And - who is entitled and is morally fit - to break its seals?

And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to take a [single] look at its contents.

And I wept bitterly because no one was found fit to open the scroll or to inspect it.

Then one of the elders [of the heavenly sanhedrin] said to me, Stop weeping! See, the LION of the tribe of Judah, the Root (Source) of David, has won - has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and break its SEVEN SEALS!

This is the first attribute of one who is worthy to open the seals...he is Lionlike....He is Kingly....he has authority! This first command to John was to look and see a Lion.

And there between the throne and the four living creatures (beings) and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing as though it had been slain, with SEVEN horns and SEVEN eyes, which are the SEVEN Spirits of God [that is the sevenfold Holy Spirit] Who have been sent [on duty far and wide] into all the earth.

But when John looks, what does he see? He sees a slain Lamb standing....with seven eyes and seven horns.....eyes that can penetrate into the depths of every aspect of our earth and see our pre-birth wisdom and not only see it but loosen it into resurrection life, quickening, speeding up our vibrations to a higher frequency in preparation for his full appearing in us.

He then went and took the scroll from the right hand of Him Who sat on the throne. (this throne is a mercyseat)

And when He had taken the scroll (book) the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders prostrated themselves before the Lamb....

Everything in us will bow or submit to this "breaking" of our seals.

And [now] they sing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll and to break the seals that are on it, for You were slain and with Your blood You purchased men unto God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

And You have made them a kingdom [royal race] and priests to our God, and they shall reign [as kings] over the earth!

This Lion-Lamb is our High Priest and King, the one who has the authority of a Lion, or the authority of a King, but rules with the heart of a slain Lamb....one who is of the order of Melchizedek, and Praise God, as these seals are broken in us to reveal his son, we also are able to manifest all the attributes of this Seal Breaker and become co-creators of this Lion/Lamb ministry unto the world.

*************************************

the Overcomer is the worthy one and if you happen to notice it never says overcomers, as in the plural, it always says "He who overcomes"....we become the potential "He" when our spirit is joined with his Spirit and we are made One.

"He that overcomes (is victorious), I WILL GRANT HIM to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame and sat down beside My Father on His throne."

Why would Jesus say "I will grant"?.....because "all power both in heaven and earth has been given him"....God has divested all of Himself into his Son, or what gives expression and execution of his thoughts and intents. Jesus was the firstborn cell of this Son that overcame the Adamic death in all its forms and being raised to equal status and glory with the Father, he became the High Priest of this Corporate Body of Sons that would also through training and experience be empowered to sit with him on his throne.

We are taught in one place, that we are now seated with him in heavenly places, and here we are taught that this place is only granted to overcomers. Which is it?

Both!

He must increase.

I must decrease.

The increase of God comes by inspiration and revelation through the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, that when the spirit of truth comes (the Comforter, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost experience) that he would teach you all things, and show you things to come.

We first grasp these things in the spirit, this is our increase. "Set your mind on things above". We start getting refocused in 'above thinking'.

I don't think that we are even aware of the fact of being double minded until we are awakened in God. Up until this time we just lived out of our natural mind. But when we are born of the incorruptible seed or the incorruptible word, that word begins to divide soul from spirit.....or to divide what is soulish in us from what is spirit truth in us. This, I believe, is where we have been learning to be made the overcomer.

The Overcomer is the 100 fold realm in God.

Our Passover or salvation experience makes us aware of being a member of the kingdom of God or family of God. 30 fold

Our baptism of the Holy Ghost or Pentecostal experience begins to teach us to hear his voice and be empowered to walk in the ways of the spirit. 60 fold.

And this "catching up" experience of his full appearing in a Firstfruits of the harvest people, will be what brings the complete rulership of Christ to bear in this world, which has been typified as the Feast of Tabernacles. A 100 fold demonstration of the tabernacling Life of God as King and Priest or Lion and Lamb in a Corporate Body.

This Corporate Body is the Second Coming of Christ, as Jesus was the first.

"Then suddenly there appeared with the angel an army of the troops of heaven - a heavenly knighthood - praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among men."

"I Jesus have sent My messenger to you to witness and to give assurance of these things for the churches. I am [both] the Root [the Source] and the Offspring of David, the radiant and brillant Morning Star.

The Holy Spirit and the Bride say, Come!"
