The Scroll and the Lamb
A reading from the Book of Revelation 5, 1 – 14:
I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who sat on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals. Then I saw a mighty angel who proclaimed in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to examine it. I shed many tears because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to examine it. One of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. The lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has triumphed, enabling him to open the scroll with its seven seals.”
Then I saw standing in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and the elders a Lamb that seemed to have been slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes; these are the seven spirits of God sent out into the whole world. He came and received the scroll from the right hand of the one who sat on the throne. When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. They sang a new hymn:
“Worthy are you to receive the scroll and to break open its seals, for you were slain and with your blood you purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue, people and nations.
You made them a kingdom and priest for our God; and they will reign on earth.”
I looked again and heard the voices of many angels who surrounded the throne and the living creatures and the elders. They were countless in numbers, and they cried out in a loud voice:
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory and blessings.”
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, everything in the universe, cry out:
To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever.”
The four living creatures answered, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Monday was another beautiful sunny day here on the Island and more snow disappeared. We will have rain on Tuesday and still more snow and ice will go. I thank the Lord for the calm weather we are having.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters you know that I am called the Lamb of God. During Holy Mass the priest says these words, ‘Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.’ He repeats the first part three times. Just before Holy Communion, the priest mentions Me again as the Lamb of God. So in the vision of St. John the Apostle, He saw God the Father holding a scroll and an angel cried out, ‘Who is worthy to open the scroll?’ and no one was found. Later it was the Lamb who came forward and He was worthy to open the scroll. The Lamb mentioned is I, Jesus, the Son of God. I look as if I am slain Lamb and indeed I was killed by being nailing to the cross. Then all heaven started to sing and to praise Me because I am the one who was slain and with My blood I purchased for the Father those from every tribe and tongue, people and nations. They continued to sing this song.
This is to show you who I am. Indeed I was sent by the Father to be born on earth and to pay the price to save all the believers on earth. The price I had to pay was suffering and death on the cross but after three days I came back to life and after forty days I ascended into heaven. Now I reign in heaven with the Father as King of heaven and earth. Come My dear friends and follow Me and I will bring you home with Me in heaven. I love you all.”
