Naked Bible 369 Revelation 5 the Lamb and the Scroll

A recap of Naked Bible Podcast 369 by Michael Heiser. https://nakedbiblepodcast.com/episodes Summary This video analyzes the theological and literary structures of Revelation 5, based on the scholarship of Dr. Michael S. Heiser. The central premise is that the scene in Revelation 5 is frequently misidentified as an enthronement ceremony. Instead, through a close examination of Old Testament backgrounds—specifically Daniel 7 and Ezekiel 2—the event is more accurately described as an investiture. Key takeaways include: • The Incongruity of Enthronement: The Lamb does not occupy the throne in Revelation 5, nor throughout the opening of the seals. A shared throne is only explicitly depicted at the end of the book in Revelation 22. • The "Already/Not Yet" Paradigm: Revelation 5 serves as a transition from the "already" (Christ’s victory through death and resurrection) to the "not yet" (the final restoration of Eden and the consummation of his rule). • The Sealed Scroll: Modeled after Ezekiel 2, the scroll represents divine judgment and authority. While its specific contents are never transcribed, its character is defined by "lamentation, mourning, and woe." • Multivalent Metaphor of the Lamb: The imagery of the Lamb is "multivalent," simultaneously representing a sacrificial victim, a suffering servant, and a conquering ruler.
