Download Now Unto The Lamb Upon The Throne

The focus of divine naming and divine hymning in Revelation 4-5 falls upon the first and second persons of the Trinity, on the one who sits on the throne and on the Lamb who stands in the midst of the throne. However, Revelation 4-5 is not silent when it comes to the third person of the Trinity, the Spirit who is before the throne. The ways these chapters name him therefore repays our careful attention as well.

(8) 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.

(9) 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;

(10) And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

(11) 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;

(12) 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.

(13) 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.

(14) And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang:

Hymn of Praise (Glory to the Lamb)

Verse 1:

Glory, glory, glory to the Lamb.

Refrain

For He is glroious and worthy to be praised,

The Lamb upon the thro-ne,

And unto Him, we lift our voice in praise,

The Lamb upon the throne.

Verse 2:

Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb.

Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb. Refrain.

Verse 3:

Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb.

Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb. Refrain

I have drawn your attention to this previous vision as a preliminary to that of our text, in which the position of Jesus Christ is upon the throne reigning there, clothed bodily with all the power of the Godhead. Do not forget that it is even so. The Lamb is on the throne. Co-equal and co-eternal with the Father, very God he is, very God he always was. We do not forget the glory which he had with the Father or ever the earth was, but it is as God-man Mediator that he is now, in his complex person, invested with heavenly honours.

The full glory of his Person as Son of God and Son of man shall be manifested when he shall be beheld upon the throne of God. He who once appeared as the sacrificed and slaughtered Lamb shall reign with supreme authority; the blessed and only Potentate, King of kings and Lord of lords. It is the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Movement 12: Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The heavenly stage is set. The focal point of this stage, is the heavenly throne and the "One" sitting upon it. All the actors, so to speak, are in their heavenly positions, absolutely surreal in their appearance, around and about and in the midst of a truly splendorous and ethereal spiritual scene, with symbolism abounding. Our narrator's (John's) mind and soul are apparently absorbed, in the vision of things celestial, and as if in spirit form himself, is there as a spectator of the preamble to the fiery and judgmental acts soon to follow.

The scene then moves to ... the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the root of David ... Rev, 5:5, a now very distinctive spiritual person, who had previously become the sacrificial lamb, so to speak - while in his earthly role as the "Son of Man', having temporarily put aside his reality as the only begotten "Son of God" - for the good of all mankind, Jesus Christ the redeemer, no less. At the Almighty's behest, this now newly anointed redeemer, is to be the Almighty's right hand and "throne bound" himself, in his role as the temporary ruler of the "New Kingdom", of both heaven and, subsequently, earth. Found worthy of opening the scroll, with the 7 seals, he sets about his imperial tasks ... etc ... etc ...

It could not be more obvious that this is a vision depicting spiritual truths. Therefore, when the next chapter continues that heavenly scene by adding that in the midst of the throne stands a lamb as having been slain, but which is very much alive, it's not a literal lamb! This lamb has seven horns and seven eyes (which also are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.)

This lamb is then declared to be worthy to take the sealed book, to start opening it, and is identified as the risen Jesus Christ. The twenty-four elders on their respective thrones around the throne of God, and the four living creatures, and thousands upon thousands of angels then make this declaration, which answers your question as to how the Father and the Son can be co-equal:

"Blessing and honour and glory and power be unto him that sitteth uponthe throne and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four livingcreatures said Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down andworshipped him that liveth for ever and ever." (Ibid. Revelation 5:13-14)

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 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.

12Saying 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. 13And 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. 14And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. 2351a5e196
