What can we Learn from Revelation Chapter 5？

There's so much here. There's so many gems. There's so much beauty within this chapter. But I was just reading through last night and I was struck, okay, by verse 3. It says this, And no man in heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look upon it thereon. And I wept much. I wept much. I was struck by that. There was something which happened in John's heart. His heart was rendered. His heart was touched. Nobody's worthy to open that book of life. And he was moved. And tears came. Did we weep much? Do we weep much? And that's important because I believe that tears are the souls of heaven. It's the soul language of heaven. And it opens. It opens the key to heaven. And then, and then, one of the elders said to him, weep not. So there's a time of weeping, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Weep not. Weep not because the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, have prevailed to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereon. So it's precious. It's a precious overview of the majesty, the supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ. But he wept. He wept. No one was worthy to open those seven seals. And then, of course, this is like a symphony of worship. And we need to be, we need to be worshippers, because in the end, we'll be worshipping day and night before the Lamb of God. And in verse eight, it says this, it talks about, and when he had taken the book, the four beasts of four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one about them hearts and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they worshipped. Thou art worthy to take the book, to open the seals. They worshipped. They worshipped. Another key is the prayers of the saints. Every prayer we say, every prayer, every utterance is recorded. That's precious. And we need to increase our prayers with more fervency. Even the simplest prayer is significant in the Kingdom of God. It's recorded. It's noted. David says all the tears are stored up in a vial. And in the ancient times, they used to put vials or vessels in with the kings when they were buried of tears. The tears are all recorded. So prayer is very, very foundational. And we need, as believers, we need to increase our prayer life. And that's not just devotions in the morning. That is a continual commune with him. What is he saying? What's he speaking? What's he spoken to me last? Daily, minute by minute, commune with him. The prayers of the saints. And that's the saints are from beginning to the end of eternity. That's incredible. My prayers are recorded in that. My prayers are in that bowl of the prayers of saints. Your prayers are in that bowl of the prayers of the saints. And worship. Verse eight, it says, they fell down and worshipped. They fell down and worshipped. After all that adoration, they fell down and worshipped. And verse 14, at the conclusion of the chapter, again, they fell down. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth forever and ever. So we will fall down and worship before the Lamb of God. And I was thinking about John, John, the closest disciple of the Messiah, and how at the end, when he saw Christ in his resurrected state, he said, the scripture says, he fell down as if dead. There is an awesomeness. There's also a terror. There's also a fear about God when we will see him in his magnified, glorified state, which is unutterable and unexplainable. And the revelation in this chapter does capture some of that. Daniel tries to capture some of that. But it's beyond words. But when we see him in his glorified, resurrected state, we will fall down as if dead. And then we'll worship him day and night. It's an incredible chapter. It's incredible. And then it talks about every kindred and every tongue and every people and every nation. They will proclaim that he is Lord, that he is resurrected. Hallelujah. Because he's purchased them by his precious blood. The power of the blood, the power of the blood can redeem anyone, me and you, from every tribe, from every kindred, from every group. It's incredible. There's so much. We can do word by word, line by line, verse by verse. There's so much here. But those things hit me. One, about the weeping. Two, about the prayers. And thirdly, about falling down and worshipping the Lamb of God.
