Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God that was slain, is victorious over sin and death. He alone is worthy to inaugurate all things leading to God's glorious new kingdom-the Lamb alone is worthy to take the scroll from the right hand of the Almighty. The worth of the Conquering Lamb, His glorious redemption and His goodness to God's people is cause for great celebration and song before the throne of God.

God's eternal purpose must be known and executed in order to inaugurate the glorious New Heavens and New Earth. This is symbolized by the Scroll in God's right hand. The Scroll is sealed with seven seals- yet no mere creature can be found in heaven, in earth, or under the earth that is worthy to open the seals and to the task. The terrible reality is that all creation's hopes for life as it was originally meant to be with God is on hold until someone steps up to the challenge presented by God in the Scroll.

All of the redeemed creation worships Jehovah God in heaven- All of His saints, both Old Testament and New Testament, as one people- all creatures are represented before His throne. They sing without ceasing of His holiness, power, and eternity with deep reverence and awe. They worship because Jehovah God created them- and so Jehovah God is worthy of all praise.

Life lived apart from a relationship with Jesus Christ is all vanity, as in the end all of your hard labors will have been for nothing. The world does not understand this teaching. The world only knows anxiety and restlessness. But Jehovah graciously gives all that is needed for life and godliness in this present age. Zion's pilgrims understand this and keep their march.

Unless a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. Those who are friends of Jesus and have believed in Him are shown the great throne room of God His Father. This revelation is made possible only through the Holy Spirit, who Himself is God, and who strengthens you to see, believe, and worship. The worship of God the Father is very reverent and embraces all of His holy attributes. All of God's being and excellencies are preached in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I. The Lord Jesus Christ Is the Great -Amen- to God's Word--II. The Lord Jesus Christ Cannot -Amen- Every Church--III. The Lord Jesus Christ Will Correct What Is Wrong in His Churches--IV. The Lord Jesus Christ Will Reward Anyone Who -Amens- His Word

Every gathering of God's pilgrims is cause for celebration. The gathered people of God experience a foretaste of that joy and refreshing that will be theirs at that great and final ingathering of the saints in heaven. Zion's pilgrims give Jehovah all the glory for their deliverance -- and the whole world will see it and glorify God, too- For this reason, God's sojourners pray for their estranged brothers to return to Zion, knowing that God can and will have a people forever. Besides praying, God's pilgrims labor with God in gathering His sojourners, and rejoice in hope.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Amen, the faithful and true witness to God's Word. He requires all of His churches to be as He is, and zealously follow Him in all of His teaching. The Lord Jesus will correct every worshipper that becomes complacent and proud, thinking they are something when they are not. He offers to restore a close spiritual communion to those who respond to His corrections. To him who overcomes belongs glory, honor, and dominion with Jesus and God the Father.

The pilgrim's homeland is Mount Zion. It is his allotted inheritance from Jehovah God. Jehovah separates the pilgrim, who is righteous in His eyes, from the man of this world and age, who remains wicked. Jehovah leads the righteous to Zion, but leads the wicked away to his own twisted desires. Jehovah does this so that His righteous not be overcome by evil. Pilgrims are to pray that Jehovah grants His Israel peace in this way.
