8When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held the golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9And they sang a new song:
“Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals,
because You were slain,
and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
10You have made them into a kingdom, priests to serve our God,
and they will reign on the earth.”
The reaction was immediate when HE had taken the scroll, the high ranking angles and redeemed man fell down and worshiped the Lamb!
“It is also possible that these prayers represent the long-standing prayer of God’s people, ‘Your kingdom come.’ ” (Hocking)
Psalm 141:2 (NKJV)
2 Let my prayer be set before You as incense,
The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
A beautiful quote from Enduring Word
“It is a new thing that the Son of God should become man. It is a new thing to ascend into the heavens with a body. It is a new thing to give remission of sins to men. It is a new thing for men to be sealed with the Holy Spirit. It is a new thing to receive the priesthood of sacred observance, and to look for a kingdom of unbounded promise.” (Victorinus)
More on Victorious:
A beautiful song!
“Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals,
because You were slain,
and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.”
“When a fellow comes forward in all sorts of curious garments, and says he is a priest, the poorest child of God may say, ‘Stand away, and don’t interfere with my office: I am a priest; I know not what you may be. You surely must be a priest of Baal, for the only mention of the word vestments in Scripture is in connection with the temple of Baal.’ The priesthood belongs to all the saints.” (Spurgeon)
“It is a new thing to receive the priesthood of sacred observance, and to look for a kingdom of unbounded promise.”
I can’t wait, can you?
Are you looking?
Blessings, David
