Being a Faithful Witness

The Lamb starts to open the seals on the scroll. The plan and promise of God—to deal with sin, to reverse the curse of sin, to restore his creation so that his people can dwell with him—starts to be implemented. As this unfolds, we must remember several truths. First, God is on the throne of the universe. Second, the Lamb/Lion has all authority to open this scroll, because he has already beaten sin and death. Third, what happens now is ‘what will take place’. But, fourth, this is not a description of consecutive events, but a look at the one period, from different angles. There is repetition here as the same period is looked at in a set pattern—and the recapitulation intensifies the moment each time. Fifth, these events are looked at in a pattern of seven—they are the complete events, under the control of God.
