He wept for no one was found worthy to look upon the scroll and open its seals.  That is how John felt when heaven stood in frustration that no one could look upon what we assume is the title deed to the Earth, nor open the seals of God’s Wrath to be cast down upon it.  Then the angel reminds John that the Lion of Judah is worthy to take the scroll and open the seals of God’s awaiting judgment.

Do you know the Lion of Judah?  Does anyone for that matter know the Lion of Judah?  You may remember reading in the Bible, “behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the World”.  We all know that to be Jesus, as he was sent to be the sacrificial lamb for the sins of all mankind.  But wait the Lion of Judah, couldn’t be the same person could it?  The Lamb and the Lion of Judah.  What if I told you that I know the Lion of Judah?  Would you laugh and mock me, saying something about he thinks himself a prophet or utoh, here goes the Christian again?  That’s okay, I know him anyway.  You see it is that same Jesus who came the first time as the suffering saint to take away the sins of the world, will return this next time to proclaim judgment and take his rightful place upon the Throne.  I do suggest entirely knowing him now as opposed to meeting him when he returns, because there is a huge difference between relationship now and judgment then.

Jesus is going to open up the title deed of this Earth and take back his rightful position of reign upon it, taking it back from satan who has been ruling here in stead of Adam when he lost that position.  The first day that he comes back he is going to fight personally and defeat three different armies aligned against him.  One where the damage will be so terrifying that the Earth will shudder at his Wrath when he defeats the single largest mustered army set against him in the valley of Jehosaphat, in Israel.  He will strike them with the two edged sword that comes from his mouth.  Don’t laugh this His Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword and will simply speak them into death. Then God will drop pieces of ice in excess of 100 pounds upon them that he has been saving up since the beginning of time turning this valley into a 180 mile long disaster.  Why is he going to do this, for one simple reason because these people will have rejected his offer of peace and instead join with satan to rise up against the sovereign authority of God? They will come to fight Jesus and they simply and utterly, Lose.

You want to know this Lion now.  Get to know Jesus that you are seated behind him when this battle is fought, not in front of him to be destroyed in moments.  He is Jesus Christ the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and all will bow a knee and confess this truth, either voluntarily or be forced to do so at the day of judgment when sentences are pronounced.  He loves everyone, loves them enough to have died for all mankind, but he was resurrected and lives now waiting for that fateful day when he returns for his church and judgment.  The Lion of Judah, Jesus Christ my King.  In His awesome name I pray.
