This podcast explains the meaning of the symbols used by John the Revelator from his vision in Revelation 5:5-7. These verses are a continuation of John’s vision of paradise in the postmortal spirit world that began in Revelation 4. In Revelation 5:1-5, John saw a book with seven seals and he wept because he could not find any man to break the seals and open the book. John is now told that the “Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David” (Jesus Christ) had power to do so. He then saw a Lamb that stood in the midst of paradise as though he was slain, but was very much alive. The Lamb represents Jesus Christ. He had seven horns and eyes, representing his omniscience and omnipotent. Christ takes the book from the right hand of God the Father and prepares to open the book.
