Rev 10 Flashcards
- Title
The Revealed Book from Heaven and the Promised Pastor
- When the book of Revelation becomes fulfilled at this time,
the person that we need to go to to receive the testimony of the fulfilment of the New Testament Revelation is the promised pastor. He is the only one in this world who has received the open scroll, and is a witness to what he saw and heard when Jesus broke the seals and fulfilled the words within the opened scroll.
- From the title we can see the key points here that we will cover.
The Revealed Book | The Promised Pastor
- During the first coming of Jesus, who was the pastor promised by God?
“Jesus.
And to him was given the revealed or opened book from heaven.
We know that revealed or opened means that the parables that are in prophecy become fulfilled into reality. And that Jesus was a real person and not some story book tale.”
- How was this book revealed or opened to him?
In Isaiah 29, we can see how the vision that was shown to the prophets were like words sealed in a scroll, this meant that they were not yet fulfilled, but were presented to the prophets as prophecy as it was not time to be fulfilled yet.
- However, in a very short time, the deaf will hear the words of the scroll and the eyes of the blind will see. Why was this?
Because God opened the sealed book here in Ezk 2:10, where this scroll was unrolled before Jesus, who was referred to as the Son of Man, and on both sides were written words of lament and mourning and woe.
- What did the Son of Man or Jesus do with this now opened book?
When he received it, he ate it like it was prophesied in Ezekiel 3, where he was told “Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel”. And then God continued to tell him “go now to the people of Israel and speak my words to them. You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and strange language, but to the people of Israel -”
- From here, Jesus fulfilled preaching the words of reality of the opened book
to the people of Israel, God’s chosen people who are supposed to know the words of prophecy of the Old Testament. But there is something unique about these people. They had a special characteristic that was not from God. Disobedience. It means that they lack regard for God as their god. They didn’t regard the true God as God. And because of this, Jesus said that he was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, in Matt 15:24.
- Today, in this whole wide world of 7.9 billion people and counting…
this really thin book of Revelation, is incomparable to the volumes of part 1, part 2, part 3, “to be continued” false doctrines that people write and preach about.
- Yet, why is it that mankind has not yet understood the 25 pages of Revelation? I’m not saying fully understood, but just the general knowledge of Revelation.
If they had read the bible, they would have known that it was because it was sealed with 7 seals in Rev 5. And they would also know that it was because no one in heaven or on earth could understand its meaning. Simply because it was sealed, which meant that God had not allowed it a time for it to be understood in plain language yet.
- “The time would definitely come for these words of Revelation to be revealed to the people of the world.
How will it be revealed?”
“When Jesus who overcame the trials, tribulations and testings in the first coming, comes and breaks the seals of the book in Revelation 6 and 8, which we have covered in the last few Sundays. And as he breaks opens the seals, he now opens the book and fulfills it.
And through an angel, this opened book in Rev 10 is given to John to eat and to give this testimony to the churches as we can see in Rev 22:16. From here the words of Revelation that has not been understood by mere men for more than 2000 years finally gets to spread all over the world today. “
- Today in chapter 10, we will
understand about the role of this promised pastor of the New Testament who received and ate the finally opened book of Revelation from heaven and his mission.
- Let’s start with Rev 10:1-4.
Here, John saw another mighty angel from heaven, holding the opened book in his hand. The angel was described as one who was clothed with clouds, with a rainbow above his head, his face was like the sun and his legs were like fiery pillars.
- Does this image in your head seem familiar?
It is the same image as Jesus in Rev 1.
- “Why does this angel have the same image as Jesus?
Is this angel Jesus?”
No, it means that this angel has come according to what Jesus had promised.
