Full Transcript

Thank you for that question and Revelation chapter 5 is a depiction of heaven where God is seen and living beings and angels worshipping God and elders worshipping God and there's also the vision of the Lamb of God and the Lamb of God here represents the Lord Jesus Christ and the significance when he takes a scroll from the hand of God with seven seals we must understand that this scroll contains major judgments from God and later on in that passage it tells us that this Lamb becomes the Lion of Judah and the Lion of Judah comes to tear and repay evil the gentle Jesus that we know here becomes a judge in John chapter 5 verse 22 it says all judgment is given to Jesus Christ and now he will open the scroll and unfold 21 major judgments on the earth and they're horrible judgments they're horrible judgments and people say no no no we only have a good God he will not permit this but beloved God is a God of justice God will do and carry out his wrath against those that won't believe against those that won't follow him and he has no choice in it because he wants to create a new heaven and a new earth without sin without sorrow without tears without pain without war without death and so he will not permit evil and sin into heaven so all those that want to make it to heaven must choose the way that God has given and there's only one way and the way is through his son the Lord Jesus Christ there are no other ways those are lies from the devil and many in the population today believe there's only a good God they're misled because there's also a God will repay evil and beloved we must understand that in Revelation chapter 9 verse 15 when the scroll is opened in one judgment alone it says four angels are released at the river Euphrates to destroy one-third of mankind you see what you're talking about it's in the bible read it understand it believe it because there it says one-third of mankind if this were to happen today we have nearly eight billion people so over two billion people over two thousand million people would die in this one judgment alone but the church doesn't believe it the church doesn't understand it the church does not have a broken heart for its fellow man it has lost that that is why revival is needed so much that's why we need to understand also the book of Revelation because there it tells us about the future of what God will do and you say no no no he's a loving God may I ask you a question did he send a flood before to destroy all mankind allowing only eight people to live yes he did yes he did he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah over sin yes he did then Jesus foretold and said when he came to Jerusalem he wept over Jerusalem and he said you didn't know I was your savior you wouldn't accept me you will be destroyed and in 70 year 70 AD Emperor Titus came from Italy with a great army and besieged Jerusalem and Josephus says that thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people died and were killed in that city so yes we have a God he's both a God of love but he's also a God of justice thank you for that question
