  7. Lion from the tribe of Judah 8"Judah, your brothers shall praise you;    Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;    Your father's sons shall bow down to you. 9"Judah is a lion's whelp;    From the prey, my son, you have gone up     He couches, he lies down as a lion,    And as a lion, who dares rouse him up? (Gen. 49)

  8. Lion from the tribe of Judah 10 “The scepter shall not depart from Judah,     Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet,     Until Shiloh comes,     And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples. (Gen. 49)

  9. The Root of David Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,And a branch from his roots will bear fruit. …But with righteousness He will judge the poor,And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth;And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.(Isaiah 11:1-10)

  10. The Lord of Our Future (Rev. 5) • The Savior (vv. 6-7)  a Lamb  standing  as if slain  seven horns  seven eyes  between the throne & the elders

  13. The Lord of Our Future (Rev. 5) • The Songs (vv. 8-14) 1. Many angels, the 4 living creatures & elders  “Worthy is the Lamb …” 2. Every created thing  “To Him who sits on the throne & to the Lamb …”

  14. Worship is attributing worth to God We offer Him: Thanksgiving … the source of all good in our lives Riches because He is the treasure that we seek Dominion because He is the one who rules in righteousness and in redeeming love Glory … all beauty & virtue is derived from Him Honor because of His value and significance Praise because He is the delight of our affections

  15. Application • Christ is to be trusted in the trials of life.

  16. “He who holds us in His hands, has no problems, only plans He who has control of all, sees the smallest sparrow fall. He who acts when no one knows, does not sleep as we suppose, but works in all things both great and small things for His own glory and our best good!"

  17. Application • Christ is to be trusted in the trials of life. • Christ is to be the center of all our hope and joy. The coming of all our joys is governed by Him.

  18. The future progress of history will bring unfathomable riches and happiness to sinners who put their faith in Christ. That is why He alone was worthy to open the seals and reveal that future to us. The lesson is simple: No one or nothing- not your spouse or child or boyfriend or girlfriend or your job – no one but Jesus can make your future bright. Without Him, our hopes of joy are misplaced.

  19. Application • Christ is to be trusted in the trials of life. • Christ is to be the center of all our hope and joy. The coming of all our joys is governed by Him. • Christ is to worshipped passionately, because He died to purchase a people for God, and He has made us a kingdom and priests, who will reign upon the earth.
