Exactly what IS the 7-sealed scroll that Jesus is opening in the book of Revelation?

When looking into this topic, there are many opinions as to what it may be.

Let’s add a little fuel to the fire! Here’s something to consider as get you started…

And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it. Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it. (Rev. 5:3–4)

  • Who was worthy to open it?
  • Who was worthy to look into it?
  • Where did the search take place?

And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.” (Rev. 5:9)

  • Why was Jesus worthy?
  • What was purchased?
  • What was used to make the purchase? (as the currency?)

What Does Jesus Say?

If Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection that provide for our salvation is the most important message in the Bible, then His return to gather His believers and judge the wicked at the end of the age must surely be the second-most important message.   Revelation, the Rapture, and What Jesus Says dives into this topic by focusing on what Jesus had to say on this topic. 

———————————————

Revelation, the Rapture, and What Jesus Says is written to appeal to three different groups of people. 

  • For those who have never studied the Bible or never studied End-Times, it is written to help understand, in simple language, what is yet to come.  Believers will learn what they may someday have to face while non-believers will understand why it is important to question where they currently stand before those days arrive.
  • For those who have studied End-Times and find it perplexing, the hope is to cut through the confusion and show, in Jesus’ own words, what is being said.
  • Finally, for those who have seen all of the opposing views and decided which view you hold, this book presents what Jesus taught and compares it to both the Old and New Testaments to let the Bible give us the answer.  Rather than try to “fit” the Bible to prove any particular point of view, the verses have all been laid side-by-side to see if there is an answer that “harmonizes” what we see written.

I have always been fascinated by the book of Revelation and the return of Jesus.  But, every time I studied, I was presented with a long list of opposing viewpoints.  These views can’t all be right.  In fact, only ONE view will be right in the end.  I couldn’t understand why would be Bible be so confusing on such an important topic? 

That’s when I decided to lay all of the verses out side-by-side to find out for myself.  The deeper I dug, the more amazed I was to find out that Jesus gave us the answers!  It simply takes a little time and work to read it for yourself and see the big picture! 

Revelation, the Rapture, and What Jesus Says is all of that work put in an easy to understand format so that YOU can see it too!  All of the verses are laid out side-by-side so that you can see the order of events that are to come.  In the end, what you find is an easy to understand viewpoint which is backed by Old and New Testament verses  from start to finish.

What did Jesus teach about end-time events?

When it comes to the last days, God has provided believers with everything we need to know about what is coming. This includes the order of events to take place and even at what point the rapture will occur. When teaching on these subjects, Jesus goes as far as telling us:

“But take heed: behold, I have told you everything in advance.” (Mark 13:23)

Brian Davis examines the words of Jesus and compares His teachings directly to scriptures in the Old and New Testaments with a focus on the timing of the rapture, the day of the Lord, and how they relate to events in the book of Revelation. Having maintained particular attention to scriptural harmony throughout the study, it is possible for anyone to see the undeniable consistency in end-time events discussed by Jesus, the apostles, and Old Testament prophets. The result provides answers to many questions including:

• What did Jesus teach about end-time events?

• How do His teachings compare to events as described in the rest of the Bible?

• What is the day of the Lord?

• Are the seals a part of God’s wrath?

• How do our beliefs today align with what Jesus, the prophets, and the apostles taught?

Using simple language and biblical insights, Revelation, the Rapture, and What Jesus Says is tailored for both beginners and those who have studied prophecy for years to help understand critical teaching in the Bible that details what the world may soon be about to face.
