The Apostle John, being in the supernatural realm, witnessed Heaven's glory. He saw a book that had been sealed with 7 seals. An angel with a loud voice asked who was worthy to unlock this Heavenly book. But none answered. And John cried hard. Then an elder said for John to cry no more—to behold the Lion of Judah. The LAMB of GOD was slain—the LAMB was worthy to open the book! *WEEP NOT*, CHRIST is worthy! The book of redemption has been opened—we are liberated!!

The Lion & The Lamb.
