LESSONS FROM BIBLE STUDY HELD ON 29TH JULY, VIA ZOOM

Brother Eli admonished us return to God. That God wants us to return to him, to acknowledge his teachings and to be his people, according to Malachi 3:7

Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

In Hebrew 7:14, we see that Christ is from the tribe of Judah.

Hebrew 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

That's why Christ is called the lion of the tribe of Judah in the revelation of John.

Revelation 5:5-12

Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits[a] of God sent out into all the earth.
7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.
9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign[b] on the earth.”
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.
12 In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”

It's only Christ that can open the seven seals. All these were to be fulfilled after His death and not in the time of His birth according to most Preachers.

Revelation 6:1-2

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!”
2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

The above scripture is talking about antichrist, because the rider of the white horse has only one crown, and came with a bow. His followers rode on multi colour horses, coming with hardship and death to humanity.
This can certainly not be Christ, but antichrist.

However, in Revelation 19:11-15

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.
12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.

From the above scripture, we see that the rider of the white horse has many crowns, the sword that came out of his mouth is the word of God and his name is the word of God.
So certainly, this is Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 8:8-9 tells us that the word of God is righteous, no perverse in them. That they are plain to him that understand.

Thanks be to God!
