John became instantly fearful the instant he arose to the thrown room of God. Just like Isaiah, he must have had this “Uh oh” moment when you realize you probably could have done a lot of things differently. In an instant, all life-priorities became clear.

But John was waiting for the redemption of man. The voice told him that he was going to see what was going to happen to the end of the church age. He saw undescribable sights. He barely has the descriptive ability to write what he saw and what he wrote will never do justice to the actual presence.

After a moment in awe and wonder, a legal document was confronted to John. It was a will of execution. It had to be opened for the redemption of man to be complete. This was it. Finally the full redemption of man! John had been waiting for this moment but never imagined that it would unfold right before his eyes. Finally, the faith of the saints would be made complete! Finally, the believers will be with their creator! Finally, the bride will be with her groom! “O death where is thy sting? O grave where is your victory?”…

“Who will open this will?” asks a strong, stout angel. “Who will begin the ending of human history?” What about Abraham? Jacob? Moses? Noah? Isaiah?

No one could open that will…

“What!?!” says John. “Someone has to open that scroll!” John knew that if this will was not executed that mankind will not be redeemed. Was that it? John was to see the ending of the human history to find out that human history is nothing more than some enigma? This can’t be! “Please someone must start that execution!”

At that moment, a baby lamb, still bleeding at its neck, walks forward. God hands this lamb, our Savior, the will. He will redeem us!

At first John began to hear the 24 elders singing, “You are worthy to take the scroll.” Then John hears “The Lamb is worthy-The Lamb who was killed.”

“Where were these voices coming from?” asks John. He began to look around and thousands of millions of angels began to sing out, “The Lamb is worthy-The Lamb who was Killed!”

This was followed by the entire creation joining in. Every woman, child, man, animal, bird of the air, lion of the field, fish of the sea cried out “Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the One sititing on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever!”
