5. Revelation 5. [Preparation for the last 7 years of History]
Revelation 5:1-5
And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. Then I saw a strong malak proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Yahudah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”
5.1. The Scroll with 7 Seals.
The book mentioned in the first verse is a scroll sealed with the King’s ring, in which are the names of those who will receive everlasting life, so only Yahushua, who came without sin to be sacrificed for humanity, is worthy to open it. When the Lamb opens each Seal of the scroll in heaven, it unleashes on earth an event that brings us closer and closer to the end and to the ultimate revelation of the identity of those who are found in the book. If Yahushua had not died to take power and open the book, eternal life could not have been revealed and the world would have remained in the corrupted state in which it is currently, a detail that Satan clearly did not understand when he influenced the Pharisees and Romans to kill him, being blinded by envy.
Genesis 49:9
Yahudah is a lion’s whelp [1st];
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
He bows down, he lies down as a lion [Died];
And as an old lion [2nd], who shall rouse him? [Resurrect him]
Here we can see one of the quotes mentioned above, when identifying one of the twenty-four elders. The blessing that Yaakov gave to the tribes in this chapter revealed that the first manifestation of Yahweh on earth would happen through Yahudah, which was fulfilled with Yahushua, as confirmed by the Good News of MatitYahu and Lukas (Mt.1:1-17, Lk.3:23-38). Furthermore, when interpreting it in a spiritual way, the words mentioned by Yaakov prophesied the death and consequent resurrection of Mashiach.
It is interesting to note that although in Revelation and Genesis we see that the First is called the Lion of Yahudah, the elder also refers to him as the Root of David, which confirms the fact that the Son of David, also called the Branch, will be the second manifestation of Yahweh, despite coming through the tribe of Yahusef, as clearly shown in the same chapter of Genesis. (Gn.49:22)
The First | The Last |
Kohen Gadol | Melek Gadol |
Root of David | Branch of David |
Lion of Yahudáh | Ox of Yahusef |
5.2. The Root and the Branch.
This is an issue that, when analyzed deeply, confirms in a very clear way that Yahushua is the First, Mashiach BenYahudah, the Root of David; while on the other hand, it helps to reveal a mystery found throughout Scripture, regarding the way in which the Last, Mashiach BenYahusef, will manifest.
Isaiah 11:1 [YishaYahu] There shall come forth a Rod [The Last] from the stem of Yishai [Father of David],
And a Branch [The Last] shall grow out of his Roots [The First, Yahushua].
In the same way that the branch is the last thing to come out of the tree, after planting the seed that germinates to create the root and eventually the stem, in the previous verse, the branch refers to the second manifestation of Yahweh on earth, the coming of the Last, since its root is the First, Yahushua HaMashiach, as the elder declares in Revelation 5:5. In this way, Yahweh makes it possible for the descendant of Yahusef to fulfill the role of Son of David, despite being from the tribe of Ephraim, in the same way that Yahushua became the Kohen Gadol, despite not being a descendant of Levi, because he came according to the order of MelkiTzedek. (Gn.14:18-20, Sal.110:4, He.5:5-10, He.6:20)
Génesis 49:22
“Yoseph is a fruitful branch, a fruitful branch by a well (Yahushua); His branches run over the wall.
The Spirit of Yahweh clearly revealed that the Branch, mentioned several times in Scripture, would be a descendant of Yosef [יוסף], later called Yahusef [יהוסף], by adding a “ה” to his name, the same letter that Abram [אברם] and Sarai [שרי] received upon becoming Abraham [אברהם] and Sarah [שרה], which represents receiving the Spirit. The previous verse confirms this fact, referring to Yosef as the Branch twice and speaking of his offspring later, in the same way that Isaiah 11:1 mentions both terms, the Rod and the Branch. This should generate a great question in those Jews who expect a Messiah son of David, apart from the Messiah son of Yosef, since the Spirit shows us that they will be the same person; therefore, what we must do is scrutinize the Scripture to discover how this will manifest, since it certainly seems illogical, however, by recognizing Yahushua HaMashiach as the Root of David, the rest of the pieces fit easily.
Galatians 3:27-29
For as many of you as were immersed into Mashiach have put on Mashiach. There is neither Yahudi nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Messiah Yahushua. And if you are Messiah’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
The previous verse shows us that no matter what tribe or nation a person comes from, by accepting the Messiah we are clothed with him, and since he came from the tribe of Yahudah, we become Yahudim. This means that when the descendant of Yosef comes into the world, he will accept Yahushua HaMashiach as his root, thus dressing up as Yahudi, in order to fulfill the prophecies of David’s son, by becoming the Branch through the Root that strengthens him (Fil.4:13).
Colossians 3:9-11
Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Yahudi, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Messiah is all and in all.
In the past, the tribes did not mix with each other, however, there was a mixture during the exile, which is why we need Mashiach as the Root, the Vine and the Good Olive Tree in which we are grafted (Rev.5:5, Jn.15:5, Rm.11:16-24), no matter where we come from, since to enter the Kingdom of Yahweh we must be born again, therefore, spiritually we will be born being like Mashiach. On the other hand, to be fulfilled in a physical way, the Last could be the son of a woman from Yahudah and a father from Ephraim, son of Yahusef. It is for this reason that Scripture mentions two different tribes when referring to some people, as in the case of Mordecai and Shaul Paulus, who represent the second manifestation of Yahweh as the Last / BenYamin. (Est.2:5; Rm.11:1; Hch.21:39)
Titus 3:9
But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.
After Yahushua’s birth on this earth and his genealogy having been verified in the Temple records, to reveal the fulfillment of the literal prophecies concerning the birth of Mashiach and to carry out his mission of covering those who believe in him, the flesh lost the importance that it had before the Anointed and therefore the genealogies became irrelevant in regard to the Kingdom of Yahweh, since flesh and blood will not inherit the Kingdom (1Cor.15:50), since Yahushua, as the last Adam, restared all things in a spiritual way, so it is necessary to be born again being grafted into eternal life through faith in Yahushua.
1 Corinthians 15:45-46
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
Genesis 49 reveals the two manifestations of Yahweh on earth, through the tribe of Yahudah (“Judah”) and Yahusef (“Joseph”), which is why Jews expect a Messiah son of David and a Messiah son of Yosef; however, right there lies the problem, since there is an important difference between the Messiah son of Yahudah and the Messiah son of David, which the Jews fail to discern due to their rejection of Yahushua as the Anointed, ironically because Yahushua did not fulfill what they expect the Son of David to fulfill, despite being a descendant of Yahudah according to the flesh. (Rm.1:3)
Mark 12:35-37
Then Yahushua answered and said, while He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Messiah is the Son of David? For David himself said by the Ruach HaKodesh: ‘Yahweh said to my Sovereign [Messiah], “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Sovereign’; how is He then his Son?” And the common people heard Him gladly.
The Jews of today follow the wrong teachings and false doctrines of the Scribes and Pharisees who rejected the Messiah, which is why they do not accept Yahushua as such. In the previous verse a moment is mentioned in which Mashiach referred to the subject in question, since that is the reason why they would not receive him; surprisingly revealing his identity by omission, without those present understanding, since they were spiritually blind and deaf, because Yahushua had not yet been sacrificed and therefore the manifestation of the spiritual had not yet begun. As mentioned in the 2nd chapter, Scripture shows us that Yahweh works through 4 processes when revealing himself, as well as manifesting the same existence and everything he does in it, that is why there are 4 Creatures surrounding the Throne and there are 4 Corners in the earth where the 4 Seasons of the year happen. In the same way, history can be separated into 4 periods that include that which was before Yahweh manifested the visible matter and the moment when he formed the world in which we currently live.

Yahweh made man on the 6th day, and for Elohim one day is like a 1000 years (Ps.90:4, 2Pe.3:8), which means that the Creator’s plan regarding humanity is about to be fulfilled. When we reach the end of the 6th Millennium (6th day), Yahweh will complete the man He had in mind from the beginning, in His image and likeness, in every sense of the Word, for Yahushua appeared in the 4th Millennium as the Light of the World (Jn.8:12), to reveal the Way to that ideal, since the year 4000 is the 4th day, in which Elohim made the Shemesh (“Sun”), according to Genesis (1:14-19). In addition, Yahushua also revealed to be the grain of wheat that would have to die in the earth, to bear much fruit (Jn.12:24), like the seed when germinating and taking root, so the stem would grow during the 5th day and the 6th day would be for the manifestation of the Branch, which is the Son of Man (Ben HaAdam).
Revelation 12:5
She [the Chosen Congregation] bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to Elohim and His throne.
The Last will be given a spiritual rod, in the same way that Moshe received a literal one, to have authority as the Melek Gadol (“Great King”), which is why he is caught up to the throne of Yahweh. The second manifestation will come from among the Chosen Congregation, as the branch comes out of the stem, as Yahweh declared in the previous text, in Isaiah 41:4 and other verses of Scripture. This is also revealed in the messages to the Kehilot, when Mashiach promises to give the rod of iron to the one who overcomes, metal that represents Rome, according to the prophecy revealed in Daniel 2, for the second manifestation will happen as a Thief in the Night (Rev.3:3, 16:15), since just like Yaakov dressed as Eisav (Edom) to take the blessing, Yahweh also dresses in Red (Edom) to manifest at the end of time (Is.63:1-6), which means that he comes as a Roman, for Edom represents Rome.
Revelation 2:26-28
And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—
‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.
Psalm 2:9
You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
The first manifestation of Yahweh on earth was to offer forgiveness of sins, through His mercy, while His second coming is to punish sin, through His justice, by breaking the rebellious and destroying the wicked. The book of Numbers clearly prophesied the coming of the Conqueror, also through the Chosen People (Yaakov), who is also referred to as the Star that will become the Scepter (King) upon rising from Yisrael.
Numbers 24:19
Out of Jacob One shall Conquer,
And destroy the remains of the city.”
Numbers 24:17
“I see Him, but not now;
I behold Him, but not near;
A Star shall come out of Yaakov;
A Scepter shall rise out of Yisrael,
And batter the brow of Moab,
And destroy all the sons of tumult.
The Stars represent Malakim (“Angels”), therefore the previous verses prophesy the second manifestation of Yahweh on earth, through the Messenger of Yahushua, the Malak Mikael, since just as Numbers says that a Star (Malak) of Yaakov (People) will rise as a Scepter (Leader), in Daniel it is written that Mikael (Star) will rise as the Great Prince (Scepter) of the People (Yaakov).
Daniel 12:1
“At that time [of the End] Michael shall stand up,
The Great Prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people shall be delivered,
Every one who is found written in the book [of 7 Seals].
This is the rider of the white horse of the 1st Seal (Rev.6:1-2), who goes out conquering and to conquer, which is why he finally becomes the one who overcomes, after having received a crown and a bow, a weapon that is mentioned in Genesis 49 when prophesying the coming of the Branch through the tribe of Yosef.
Genesis 49:22-24
“Yoseph is a fruitful bough,
A fruitful bough by a well [Yahushua];
His branches run over the wall.
The archers have bitterly grieved him,
Shot at him and hated him.
But his bow [1st Seal] remained in strength [Overcome],
And the arms of his hands were made strong
By the hands of the Mighty One of Yaakov
(From there is the Shepherd, the Stone [Yahushua] of Yisrael),
The Word of Yahweh is the Sword (Jn.1:1, Eph.6:17, Hb.4:12), while the Bow is the Voice (Gn.21:16, Is.30:31-32, Jr.50:42). So, just as Yahushua is the Word, the Last is the Voice.
Revelation 19:15
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Elohim Shaday.
To fight with a sword it is necessary to be close to the opponent, therefore, when Mashiach manifested in the world to fulfill the letter of the Torah (“Law”), he carried out his ministry in the land of Yisrael, being present in each of His teachings, close to the people to whom he spoke, in the same way that in order to read the letter of Scripture we must have it near our eyes and hands. On the other hand, with today’s technology, the Last will preach from outside Yisrael and for all nations, since he will not have to be close, as it is not necessary to be close to listen to someone who preaches with his voice, instead he will throw his teachings as arrows with his bow (voice), an instrument he will also use as David when going to war, who worshiped Yahweh through songs, using harps and tambourines before battling, in the same way, David’s Branch will sing for spiritual warfare, as YishaYahu declares.
Isaiah 30:31-32
For through the voice of Yahweh
Assyria will be beaten down,
As He strikes with the rod.
And in every place where the staff of punishment passes,
Which Yahweh lays on him,
It will be with tambourines and harps;
And in battles of brandishing He will fight with it.
Isaiah 61:11
For as the earth brings forth its bud,
As the garden causes the seed in it to spring forth,
So Yahweh Elohim will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
The Last comes to fulfill the spiritual part of the Letter, therefore, by taking into account that the Hebrew “Ruach” is translated as both spirit and wind, while “Neshama” is translated as breath and soul, it can be understood that as one can throw an arrow several meters in any direction, one can also be at a distance to hear a teaching, since the voice, with the force of the breath in the person, carries the words like arrows through the wind towards the ears of the listeners; therefore, the Voice of Yahweh, called the Staff of Punishment that will beat them, will strike the rebellious with those arrows.
Psalm 110:1-2
Yahweh said to my Sovereign [Yahushua],
“Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
Yahweh shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.
Rule in the midst of Your enemies!
Here we have the verse quoted by Yahushua when revealing to be the Root of David. As it is written, heaven is the throne of Yahweh and the earth is His footstool (Is.66:1, Ac.7:49), so when Yahushua sat at the right hand of the Father, the earth also became his footstool, so in the Psalm, Yahweh is telling the First to remain seated in Heaven while he descends as the Last, the rod of his strength, to defeat his enemies, Satan and his Malakim, causing them to fall from heaven to the earth. (Rev.12:7-9)
Isaiah 11:10 [YishaYahu]
“And in that day there shall be a Root of Yishai,
Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be exalted.”
Yahushua himself declared to be the Root of David (Mr.12:35-37, Lk.20:41-44), who is mentioned in YishaYahu as the Root of Yishai, David’s father. The words “that time” refer to the last days, when the Messiah would have already manifested, died, risen and ascended, to be in heaven, at the right hand of the Father, as a “Banner”, exalted in a reality full of splendor and honor, a resting place, so that all those who believe in him receive eternal life and can be part of the people of Yahweh. (Ac.7:55-56; Rm.8:34; Eph.1:20, 2:6; Cl.3:1; He.1:3, 8:1, 10:12, 12:2; 1Pe.3:22; Mt.22:44; Sal.110:1)
Psalm 80:14-15
Return, we beseech You, O Elohim of hosts; look down from heaven and see, and visit this vine [Chosen People] and the plant [Chosen Congregation] which Your right hand has planted, and the Branch [the Last] that You made strong for Yourself.
As we saw at the beginning of this chapter, the Lamb is the only one who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals, therefore, he remains in heaven when opening the seals, while Yahweh will manifest on earth to accomplish what is left, to redeem his vineyard through the Last, also called the Branch.
Jeremiah 23:5-6
“Behold, the days are coming,” says Yahweh,
“That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and prosper,
And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
In His days Yahudah [the Few] will be saved,
And Yisrael will dwell safely [the Many];
Now this is His name by which He will be called:
YAHWEH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
5.3. Heavenly Praises.
Revelation 5:6-7
And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain [Yahushua], having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Yahweh sent out into all the earth. Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
At this time, Yahuchanan is given a prophetic vision of what will be happening in heaven, while the last 7 years of human history, known as Daniel’s last week, are about to begin on earth (Dn.9:27). Yahuchanan sees a Lamb that has seven horns and seven eyes, to make reference to Yahushua HaMashiach, who received all authority through his sacrifice in Pesach, since the number 7 represents ‘Completeness’ and the horns ‘Power’, in addition to the fact that he knows everything that happens on earth, because the 7 spirits sent throughout the earth by Yahweh are under his command.
Zechariah 3:8-9
‘Hear, O Yahushua, the high priest,
You and your companions who sit before you,
For they are a wondrous sign;
For behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the BRANCH.
For behold, the stone
That I have laid before Yahushua:
is unique and it has seven eyes.
Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’
Says Yahweh of hosts,
‘And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
In Zechariah we see a prophecy that reveals the Name of the First as Yahushua, the Messiah who manifested as Kohen Gadol, while at the same time declaring the coming of the Last, called the Branch. In this case it is spoken as if it were the second coming of the Messiah, but through his Messenger, who will appear in the world to testify of the Cornerstone, which is the First, Yahushua HaMashiach, the Lamb that has seven eyes. In addition, Yahweh declares that he himself will engrave an inscription on him, referring to the seal of the Living Mighty One, mentioned in Revelation 7 and 14 as the Name of the Father and the Son, Yahweh Yahushua, when finally, through the death of the Two Witnesses, He completes His plan to take away the sin of the world. (Is.66:7-8, Dn.9:27, Rev.10:7, Rev.12:9-12, 1Cor.15:51-53)
Zechariah 4:6-10
So he answered and said to me:
“This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel:
‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
Says Yahweh of hosts.
‘Who are you, O great mountain [Kingdom]?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth the capstone [Mashiach]
With shouts of “Favor, favor to it!” ’ ”
Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying:
“The hands of Zerubbabel
Have laid the foundation of this Temple;
His hands shall also finish it [Unite the 144.000].
Then you will know
That Yahweh of hosts has sent Me to you.
For who has despised the day of small things?
For these seven rejoice to see
The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.
They are the eyes of Yahweh,
Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.”
Here we can observe a little more of the same prophecy, where it is revealed that the Last will manifest as Zerubbabel, a name that means “Born in Confusion” or “Sown in Babel”, as explained in the 3rd Chapter, since it comes as the Prodigal Son and Thief in the Night. In addition, Yahweh prophesies that the Last comes to fight against the world government spiritually (2Cor.10:4, Eph.6:10-12, 1Tim.1:18). The mountains represent kingdoms, therefore, the previous prophecy reveals that the kingdom of the Beast will be destroyed by the Last, who will turn it into nothing, like a plain, by testifying of Yahushua HaMashiach, called the capstone, since he is the head and cornerstone of the Spiritual Temple (Ps.118:22, Is.28:16, Mt.21:42, Mr.12:10, Lk.8:27, Ac.4:11, Eph.2:19-22 , 1Pe.2:6-7). Later, Yahweh predicts that the Prophet, represented by Zerubbabel, will be the one who will begin the spiritual construction of the Temple and who will finish it, since, through his teaching, he will seal the elect of the Father with the seal of the Living Mighty One. (Dn.12:7; Ap.7:2-3, 11:19, 14:1)
Revelation 5:8-10
Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the set-apart ones. And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to Yawheh by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have made us kings and priests to our Elohim; and we shall reign on the earth.”
Note that by this time in the Revelation, Yahuchanan does not see humans in heaven, except for the Lamb and the 24 Elders, who are given the honor of being present, but have not always been there, as seen in the book of Daniel (7:9). Those who are present worship Yahweh in various ways, among them, they speak in the name of all the people of the earth, since they have golden cups with the prayers of all the righteous, who say “You were slain, and have redeemed us to Yahweh by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation”. Besides this, it is interesting that among the Prophets, who were mostly descendants of Yisrael, OvadYah (“Obadiah”) is a descendant of Edom, the brother of Yaakov, so he is the one who represents, among the Prophets, the Gentiles of every tribe, tongue, people and nation, who turn to Yahweh through His son Yahushua.
Revelation 5:11-14
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and esteem and blessing!” And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and esteem and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!” Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.
Millions of Malakim declare that the Lamb is worthy of taking power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, esteem and blessing, which represents obtaining all things, since the number 7 symbolizes completeness. On the other hand, blessing, honor, esteem and power are also given to Yahweh and his Son, forever and ever, making reference to the number 4, as the levels through which Yahweh reveals himself and creates, in addition to representing the sacrifice and creation itself.
Power | Riches | Wisdom | Strength | Honor | Esteem | Blessing |
1st Day | 2nd Day | 3rd Day | 4th Day | 5th Day | 6th Day | Shabbat |

5.4. Time of the End.
Everything that Yahweh shows Yahuchanan in heaven, works as a message to be able to recognize the time in which the Lamb opens the 1st Seal to begin the last week of Daniel, the last 7 years of this history. In Malachi 4:2, Yahweh prophesies His manifestation as the Sun of Righteousness, therefore the Ancient of Days can also be seen as a representation of the Sun, which is the creation that Yahweh made to keep track of the days, therefore, it has clearly existed since the first day of the calendar. On the other hand, the 24 Elders surrounding the Throne represent the 24 Hours it takes for the Sun to surround the earth to provide light. The 7 Lamps of Fire before the Throne clearly symbolize the 7 days of the Week and the 7 days of Matzot, which are connected to the 7 lights and the 7 congregations. The 4 Creatures that cover the Throne of Yahweh represent the 4 Seasons of the year, as revealed in the previous chart.
The Scripture mentions that “in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain”. The Lamb refers to the constellation of Aries, which is where the sun is during the month of Aviv, while the mention that it had been slain and that it stood in the midst, refers to the moment when he was sacrificed, in the middle of the Month (15), during the middle of the week (“Wednesday”) and the middle of the day (Mt.27:45, Mr.15:33, Lk.23:44). Despite being the Lamb who holds the scroll to open the seals, when the elder reveals his identity he says that he is “the Lion of the tribe of Yahudah, the Root of David”, which confirms the time being represented by the vision, since the Lion is the creature that represents the Spring and Yahudah the tribe that connects with the 1st month of the year, besides the root of the year is its beginning.
- Ancient of Days: The Sun
- 24 Elders: 24 Hours of the Day
- 7 Lamps of Fire: 7 Days of the Week
- 4 Creatures: 4 Seasons of the Year
- 1 Lamb: Month of Aries (Aviv) [1st Month of the Hebrew Year]
- In the Middle: 15th of the Month (Matzot) | 4th Day of the Week
- Lion: Spring
- Yahudah: Month of Aviv
Taking into account everything already mentioned, it can be deduced that the moment in which the Lamb will open the 1st seal will be the same day of the year in which he fulfilled his mission to open the book; that is, the 1st seal will open on the 15th of Aviv, which is the 1st day of Matzot, since it is the Day (24 Elders) when the Sun (Ancient of Days) will be in the constellation of Aries (Lamb), at the beginning of the Spring (Lion), in the middle of the Month (15) of Aviv (Yahudah), in the middle (Wednesday) of the Week (Lamps of Fire).
5.5. Copies of the Enemy.
When analyzing the verses of this chapter, one can notice other ways in which the Enemy has tried to copy Yahweh, here are some of them:
– Yahushúa is the Lamb. (Rev.5:12)
– The False Prophet appears like a Lamb. (Rev.13:11)
– The Lamb was sacrificed and resurrected. (Ac.2:32)
– Scripture says that the Beast is not, and will be. (Rev.17:8)
– The Lamb has seven horns and seven eyes. (Rev.5:6)
– The Dragon has seven heads and seven crowns. (Rev.12:3)
