THE SCROLL
We are still in the throne room of God in Revelation 5 when suddenly something very important happens. It will set the tone for the remainder of the book, beginning in Chapter 6. Right in the middle of worshiping God, the attention shifts. Something captures john’s attention. It is interesting that out of all the things he is seeing in the throne room, one seemingly insignificant thing catches his eye. It is a scroll in the hand of God who is on the throne. In the midst of this awe-inspiring scene, the magnificence of the throne, the brilliance of its appearance, the 24 Elders, the Holy Spirit, the 4 Living Creatures, and the dynamic worship, John suddenly notices something so minor as a scroll in God’s hand. But it is anything but minor!
The big question is: What is this scroll? If you remember from our study, write your answer in the comments below. Following your comments, I will give you several verses from an Old Testament prophet, which I mentioned last night, that reveal the answer to us. I hope you will read them for yourself in preparation for the revealing of the events of the 7 final years of Planet Earth. That begins in Chapter 6! It is the reason most of you were so eager to be a part of this study. You need to be prepared in advance, because it is so important. So, get ready!
I will await your answers below. Consider this a pop quiz, of sorts after last night’s study!
I believe this is the sealed scroll of the prophecy that God revealed to the Prophet Daniel. Read these verses from Daniel:
8:17 – “Understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”
8:19 – “The vision concerns the appointed time of the end.”
11:35 – “Until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.”
11:40 – “At the time of the end…”
Now Listen to what Daniel is commanded to do with the visions:
8:26 – “Seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”
12:4 – “Roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end.”
Now that I have presented the evidence, do you agree with me?

You’re good, Katie! Correct! I appreciate you so much! I will post the verses tomorrow, but I’m guessing you already have them all written down!

The comment, man’s intelligence will be increased, we know so much today that we never dreamed of years ago but still we know nothing if we haven’t been washed in the precious blood of Jesus. We are just wise fools who really know nothing if we don’t have Jesus. God wrote down the so simple plan for mankind to be saved and most have ignored it or have tried to change it and make it so hard for a person to be saved. No work involved in salvation just God’s amazing Grace and Love which we only have to accept. I too believe God revealed to Daniel the last days plan.

Right you are, Cathy! I have a series of messages called “Signs of the Times.” One of those is “Signs in Technology,” based on that verse! Knowledge has increased exponentially in a few short years. Yes, His coming is near!
