Psalms 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
Redemption is solely based on one Name, thus Christ Jesus our Lord. The Word of the LORD came to the Prophets in the old testament. They spoke of the *Prophet* of prophets who was to come and save the children of Israel (Duet 18:18). And when Grace was given and the law was fulfilled by the PROPHET, Jesus Christ, a new order was set up because a new covenant was made. That`s why apostle Paul said Christ became the Apostle and High priest of the Christian’s profession (Heb 3:1).
Revelation 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
Since the time of the fall of man, there has not been one worthy enough to take the scroll and open it. None can break the seals or even take a peep at the contents. “ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Take note, there was none WORTHY. This tells us that *REDEMPTION* as we see it is not in any man except *Christ Jesus, the lamb of God made manifest*.
No one was able to break the seals and open it. NO prophet or man was able to open and break the seals except Christ Jesus. The star messenger didn`t open the book neither. Salvation is in no other name on earth nor in heaven other than Christ Jesus our lord.
Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to lose the seven seals thereof.
It was only one person who was worthy and that is the lion of the tribe of Juda, our Lord Jesus Christ. Had it not been because of Christ, the earth would not have been redeemed. Creations, generations would have continued dead without redemption.
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Telling us the very intent Jesus Christ should come to suffer, died for our sins and to save the predestinated seed of God and also claim the earth.
Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Jesus Christ as a bloody lamb, was worthy to take the book and to open and loose the seven seals because he willingly gave His life to be slain on the cross. With His blood he had redeemed a kingdom of people from all over the world to rule with him as kings in the millennium.
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
The predestinated seed are purchased by the blood of the lamb whose names were written in the lamb`s book of life. So, if you are a predestinated seed you will not hesitate to receive and allow Christ to live through you.
These are chosen of God who are royal seed according to the Messianic kingdom.
*1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: *
The redemptive work is not in any man, label or group other than our lord Jesus Christ. Prophets were only part of the word but Jesus Christ is the full word of God. We cannot point to any thing other than Christ Jesus, who is worthy to be worshipped
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
