“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”
Revelation 5:1 KJV
John, the beloved disciple’s revelation, “And I saw that the One seated on the Throne was holding in His right hand an unopened scroll with writing on the inside and on the outside, and it was sealed with seven seals.” John saw the vision that Daniel had earlier, except that in Daniel’s vision the scroll was to be sealed and kept while in John’s vision, it had to be broken. “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Isaiah and Ezekiel in their time had the vision of the scroll/book. Isaiah saw, “The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.” And he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” Ezekiel said, “Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.” Long ago God spoke in many different ways to our fathers through the prophets, in visions, dreams, and even face to face, telling them little by little about His plans. God is consistent and faithful in His revelations, it is our responsibility to receive and obey, knowing the times that we’re living in. Amen!
