Your First Day In Heaven 2

INTRO: We are in the second message on the title, “Your First Day In Heaven.” In the first message I gave some introductory matters. I gave you some reasons why I hesitated to give this message, and then that I had now decided to do at least several messages. I said that a key concept important to understanding our subject was an understanding of the altar in our passage.
We looked at the setting of Revelation 6:9-11. Revelation 1 is an introduction to the book. Chapters 2-3 deal with the Church. Chapters 4-5 take us to heaven and prepare us for the opening of a book that is in heaven. We saw that no one in heaven, on earth or under the earth was found worthy to open this book, and the Apostle John wept much about that. And then one of the elders came to assure him that One had been found who was worthy to open the book, and it was none other than the Lord Jesus Christ, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David had prevailed to open the book.
I mentioned that it is held by some that this is the title deed to the world. If it is that, I do not know, what I know is that it reveals what is contained in the rest of the book of Revelation, which is everything that follows the Church age. In chapters 6-19 we have the tribulation period that we believe not far before us now.
