Here are some of the lessons i learnt from the live Bible Study that took place in zoom on the 29th of July 2021.
Brother Eli read from Hebrew 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
He explained that, Christ came out of The tribe of Judea and Paul came from the lineage of Benjamin. That’s why Christ is called the Lion of the tribe of Judea in
Revelation 5:5-12 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits[a] of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign[b] on the earth.”
11 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. 12 In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”
And it says that only Him can open the seven seals. And He is going to open it after His death and not in the time of His birth according to what most pastors preach. It is important that we understand the right meaning of the bible and the context in which it’s been used in order to get the right meaning.
Revelation 1:9 Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.
John was talking about what he has seen now and what will happen in future.
Revelation 6:1-2 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
This verse is talks about the seals been opened by Christ. The first seal that would be shown in verse 2, other churches interprets that place by saying it’s either Enoch, or Christ that was on the white horse.
But we can see from the Bible that it is not Christ that’s on the horse.
Revelation 19:11-15 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
The horse rider described in this above verse is talking about Christ. While the one in 6:2 of revelation in anti christ.
Thanks for reading through. Stay blessed
