When we read Revelation, we need to put each verse into context. Jesus is the Lamb of GOD who takes away the sins of the world.
In the Old Testament, under the Mosaic Law, each and every year, people went to the temple to offer up sacrifices for their sins.
A perfect, unblemished lamb was often chosen to be sacrificed for sins.
When Jesus came to earth, He replaced the Mosaic Law by offering Himself, a living sacrificial atonement, once and for all, taking all the sins of the world onto that Cross and offering His blood to cleanse us of all our sins.
When Jesus gave up His life on that Cross, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, exposing the inner sanctum of the temple where the High priest went in only once a year.
This symbolic act, signifies that we are now freely able to appear before GOD and to make supplications directly to GOD through Jesus Christ who died in our place. Jesus conquered death and rose on the third day, thus giving you and I a chance to spend eternity with our FATHER in Heaven.
This is why we can now pray directly to our FATHER in Heaven.
However the only way to access GOD directly is through our acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Redeemer.
In this verse, the vision that John saw was the Angels acknowledging that the Lamb is worthy to receive honour, riches, wisdom, power, strength and glory.
Thus we should always be giving Jesus all the Power, the Honour and the Glory for dying to save you and I from an eternity in hell.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU sent Jesus Christ to be my Redeemer. I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay faithfully GOD blessed today!
