Prophetic Word 2024 - Day 57: Only One is worthy.

“And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

An angel instructed Phillip to go from Jerusalem to Gaza. Having done so, he came across an Ethiopian eunuch of great authority. This Ethiopian was sitting in his chariot reading from the prophet Isaiah. The Spirit then tells Phillip to go and overtake the chariot. Having done so, he asks the Ethiopian whether he understands what he is reading. The Ethiopian responds to him that he cannot unless someone guides him in it. Phillip then joins him in the chariot and explains the scripture he was reading.

“The place in the Scripture which he read was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth. In His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth.” So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭8‬:‭32‬-‭35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Philip’s explanation to the Ethiopian, produces faith in him, and this eunuch comes to believe in Jesus and is baptized.

This Lamb about Whom the Ethiopian read, was the same Lamb John pronounced to his own disciples.

“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!””

‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭29‬, ‭35‬-‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Yes! This Lamb is the only One Who could start and finish the process of our mess being made right. Only the precious blood of this perfect Lamb was able to redeem us!

“And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”

‭‭I Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Yesterday we discussed how John was encouraged by the elder who told him that there was One who had prevailed to be able to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.

But remember, the elder said, “Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David has prevailed . . . .” However, we see in our opening scripture that John looks and sees a sacrificed Lamb, rather than a Lion.

Child of God, before Jesus could be revealed as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He had first to present Himself as the perfect Lamb of God. He had prevailed—as a man—by living a sinless life to present Himself to take our punishment. After routing hell, He was raised back to life, to ascend back to the Throne of God—the same Throne John saw the slain Lamb approach!

Only One is qualified to bring the Kingdom of God to the Earth. And He, Who will soon return as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, was made worthy to do so, by becoming the perfect Lamb of God.

We’ll talk more tomorrow.

Peace to you.

Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
