Ep 19 - Sing Unto Him a New Song

Voyage | Book of Revelation & Genesis | Shalom World

The future of the world is handed to the Lamb who was sacrificed. Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan continues to explain Chapter 5 of the Book of Revelation where Jesus is given the scroll that contains the future of God’s creation. The Lamb that was sacrificed is an image of Jesus that is both priest and victim; it is symbolic of His worthiness and Kingship. A new song is sung to adore the Redeemer; the first song to God the Son. Jesus was the Lamb, a victim of sacrifice, and now He is the Lion, a symbol of majesty, strength, leadership, and judgment. St. John reminds us 29 times that Jesus, the Lion, is the same slain and triumphant Lamb that gave His life for us. We find that the Lamb is adored, we’re told that He bought us with His own blood, the earthly Kings will run in fear from the anger of the Lamb, He is the Savior, Leader, Shepherd, He is judge, He stands triumphantly over Zion, He is victorious in His warring with the human race, He is the temple and He is the One who shares God’s throne with us. Jesus is coming to collect His people from the powers of darkness. St. John wants us to see that in the chastisements which are coming, we are governed by the One who was slain for our transgressions; nothing will stop Him from saving us. St. John shows that Jesus is continually worshipped in Heaven by thousands upon thousands.
