Revelation 5:5-14 "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to OPEN THE BOOK, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been SLAIN, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God SENT FORTH into all the earth. And he came and TOOK THE BOOK out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had TAKEN THE BOOK, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
And they sung a NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: FOR THOU WAST SLAIN, and hast redeemed us to God BY THY BLOOD out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of MANY ANGELS round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was TEN THOUSAND TIMES TEN THOUSAND, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN to receive POWER, and riches, and wisdom, and STRENGTH, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and blessing.
And every creature which is in HEAVEN, and on the EARTH, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, AND UNTO THE LAMB for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever."
Daniel 7: 13-14 "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the SON OF MAN came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there was GIVEN HIM DOMINION, and GLORY, and a KINGDOM (rev.11:15), that ALL PEOPLE, NATIONS AND LANGUAGES, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
Matthew 28: 18-20 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is GIVEN UNTO ME in HEAVEN and in EARTH. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." <<<
Jesus said this after His resurrection just before He went to be seated at Gods right Hand. This is the Lamb who was slain receiving all the glory in Heaven, receiving the Kingdom, glory, power , Honor " on earth as it is in Heaven. The same vision as the son of man being led into the presence of God and recieving eternal Kingdom, power, glory in daniel and many other prophets writings. Jesus is where everything points in the word whether its a prophecy about His coming, or the apostles after explaining" Jesus was the One who was promised would come, the Christ believe in Him"...all of it is pointing to Jesus Life, ministry, death and resurrection and even His ascention to Gods right Hand. that IS christianity.
If we trust Jesus word about His Own Kingdom, it will guide our understanding of what the apostles are talking about. He is the Light His teachings, His wisdom, His perfect descriptions of the Father, His plain straight foreward descriptions and instructions for His Kingdom, His people. The same One who suffered and died said a whole Lot about why He was dying, about How to Live as children of God, and theres no doubt who holds the power and authority in Gods Eyes.....Know Jesus Know Life.
