 Shalom and praise the Lord. Good morning everyone. Thank you for joining class. We'll begin. Can I ask any one of our online students to lead us in prayer please? Anyone? Yeah, I can tell you this word. Father, we just thank you for this time. Thank you Lord for this morning. We pray for your presence Lord over this class. We pray for your wisdom. I pray Lord that your word would speak to us and build us up Lord and we just submit this time. We just give a spirit soul and body to you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you Sam Daniel. So we began looking at chapter 9 on Tuesday and we're looking at Jesus as the sinless lamb. We're looking at the title and role of Jesus as a sinless lamb and we're looking at the various sacrifices in the Old Testament that basically points out to Jesus as that sinless lamb of God who came to make that food sufficient and perfect sacrifice. And we also saw that Jesus is referred to as the, what is the first sacrifice we looked at? The Passover. So Jesus is referred to as the Passover lamb. So the Old Testament feast of the Passover was a type and the shadow of the redemptive work of Christ in the New Testament. And I explain to you what is the meaning of type and shadow. So we see that the Old Testament feast of the Passover is basically a type and shadow of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, where he offered himself up as that Passover lamb for the sins of the whole world and he did it once for all. So we were looking at the Passover lamb and what was the requisite for the kind of lamb they had to choose? Yes, it had to be an unblemished lamb. Unblemished means what? It had to be perfect, spotless, whole and healthy. And that is what we read in 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 19 and 1 John chapter 3 verse 5. So can one of you please read 1 Peter 1 19 and someone else can read 1 John 3 5 please. Just keep it away from your first Peter 1 19. Word with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Yes, so here it's talking about whom? Jesus Christ and it says that Jesus Christ the lamb without blemish and without spot. 1 John chapter 3 verse 5 please someone else. 1 John 3 verse 5, you know that he appeared to take away sins and in him there is no sin. Okay, so here we see that Jesus was manifested to take away our sins or he became man to take away our sins and in him there was no sin which means that he's a lamb without blemish because it says here that he was without sin which means he was perfect and he was pure. Okay, so we don't celebrate the Passover festival anymore even though God had instituted it and said that you need to do it throughout generations. Why? Because Jesus was that Passover lamb who made that full sufficient perfect sacrifice. But of course we celebrate the Lord's table in remembrance of what he has done. Okay, now we look at a few more sacrifices that were instituted by God in the Old Testament and how Jesus came to fulfill that, how he was a type and shadow of that sacrifice. So the next one is the morning and evening sacrifices. Okay, so there was every morning and every evening there were sacrifices that the priests made in the temple and this was basically for what sacrifice? Any idea what sacrifice was this for? Which the priest is to make morning and evening? Grain and drink offering. Okay, but for why were these offerings made or why were these sacrifices made? It was basically for what? Why would they make a burnt offering? Okay, why would they make a meal a burnt offering? Why would the priest make it? Yes, thank you Lucy for our sins, for the sins of the entire Israelite race. If you sin, then you had to go individually and make a sacrifice to God. But if the priest was making it, he was making it on behalf of himself and behalf of all the people. Okay, so here, yes, Andrew says to reconcile us to God. This morning and evening sacrifices were basically sacrifices for daily atonement for the sins of the people. And it was also sacrifice that was a daily consecration. They were consecrating themselves to this holy God who chose to live in their midst, who chose to come and speak to them. Okay, so let's look at this morning and evening sacrifices that God had instituted and what he says in Exodus chapter 29 verses 38 to 42. So can one of you please read Exodus chapter 29 verses 38 to 42 please. Can I read sister? Exodus 39. Can I read sister? Yes, please go ahead. Exodus 29, 38 to 42. Now this is what you shall offer on the altar. Two lamps of the first year day by day continually. One lamp you shall offer in the morning and the other lamp you shall offer at twilight. With the one lamp shall be one tenth of an effer of flower mixed with one fourth of a hint of breast oil and one fourth of a hint of wine as a drink offering. And the other lamp you shall offer at twilight and you shall offer with it the grain offering and the drink offering as in the morning for a sweet aroma and offering made by fire to the Lord. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generation at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord where I will meet you to speak with you. Thank you sister get rude. So here God is instituting the morning and evening sacrifice. Okay. And he's saying that you know these daily sacrifices that were made by the high priest in the temple, you know spoke of daily atonement and daily consecration. So what were the sacrifices that were offered? What were the sacrifices that were offered daily? What sacrifices were offered? Two lamps. Okay. One in the morning, one in the evening. Okay. So it was basically a burnt offering. Okay. And it was also a grain and drink offering known as the meal offering. Okay. So we see that you know this burnt offering was a sacrifice that they made on the altar and the animal was completely burnt on the altar. Okay. And in addition to that they also had the grain and the drink offering. Okay. Which basically consisted of what? Grains. Okay. It was not a blood sacrifice. It was not something that was containing blood like the you know the burnt offerings that was made. So the burnt offering was basically atonement. What is atonement? Covering of sins. Okay. So the burnt offering was made as an atonement for sins. It just covered, it used to cover the sins of the people. And the animal was a substitute for, for people. Okay. The animal was a substitute for the people. The animal took the place of the people. The animal was made as the sacrifice for sins because what is the punishment for sins? Death. Yes. Okay. So the animal, the death of the animal, you know, took our place and was thus made the atonement possible. Okay. Now what was the burnt offering? Why did God tell you need to have this burnt offering? Basically the burnt offering spoke of consecration. Okay. Which means, you know, why did they have to burn the entire sacrifice of that animal because, and why was the entire animal being consumed by fire? Because it talked about complete consecration. That means the Israelites were completely consecrating themselves to God. What is the meaning of consecrating? Consecrating means what? What is consecrating? Yes, dedicating themselves, setting themselves up, or setting themselves up, you know, for God, submitting to God. Yes. Thank you, Lucy. So we see that, you know, these burnt offerings spoke of complete consecration because the entire sacrifice was consumed by fire. And then what does the meal offering consist of? The meal offering consists of basically grain and some drink offering. Okay. It was basically people giving from there what they grew in their fields or in their gardens. Okay. It was just giving their first fruits of their labor. So therefore the meal offering spoke of consecrating one's life and substance to God. Okay. So it was talking about how they were, you know, not just giving the sacrifice as an atonement for their sins, but also the sacrifice spoke about how they were giving themselves wholeheartedly. Okay. Giving themselves in terms of their spirit, body and soul, completely consecrating it to God, setting it apart for God, dedicating themselves to God and submitting to his lordship and to his rule and reign in their lives. Okay. Now, why don't we make this morning and evening sacrifices? Why don't we make this morning and evening sacrifices? Look at it. It says in verse 42, this shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generation at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord where I will meet with you and speak with you. So God was saying, I'm going to meet with you and speak with you here and hence I want you to be completely set apart, holy, sanctified. Okay. Basically holy means being set apart, sanctified. Okay. So here he's saying that you need to do this throughout your generation, but why don't we offer these sacrifices anymore? Yes, Jesus was that sinless lamp of God and he made that sacrifice. Okay. So how did Jesus connect with this morning and evening sacrifice? How can we connect Jesus's sacrifice to this morning and evening sacrifice? Or how can we look at Jesus as a sinless lamp who made that sinless sacrifice? How can we connect what he has done to the morning and evening sacrifice? What does a morning and evening sacrifice require? Two things. What are the two main things? One is why would the sacrifice is made? Why would the sacrifice is made? For atonement. Yes, for atonement. Thank you Sister Gettrudus. Firstly for atonement. Secondly for consecration. Yes, thank you. So consecrating themselves. So how did Jesus fulfill this even as he made that sacrifice? On the cross, yes. How did he fulfill it? He himself offered himself once for all, for all the sacrifices and for all generations. Yes. Thank you. So he made that atoning sacrifice for the sins of the entire human race. Okay. And he was that lamp who offered himself up as a sacrifice. Okay. And made the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the whole world once for all. First was he fulfilling the morning and evening sacrifice. Atonement was done. What is the other thing? Consecration. So how did Jesus fulfill that? How did Jesus fulfill that? I think the mic is weak. Sister, he is the high priest for us. Okay. Thank you. He submitted himself to God. Yes, he submitted himself totally and fully. He surrendered. He submitted everything, his will and just to do the father's will. Okay. He aligned his will to the father's will. And hence we see that he totally consecrated himself to the father. So does Jesus fulfill the requirements of the morning and evening sacrifice? Yes. Not just like was this, you know, the sinless Lamb of God, but also in terms of consecrating himself and in submitting to do the will of the father. We know in the Garden of Gethsemane, we read that Jesus was troubled. Okay. But what does he say? Father, not mine will be done, but yours be done. Okay. So let your will be done and not mine. So Jesus was going to take on the sins of the whole human race. Here was this God who is perfect and holy and pure, who cannot stand sin, who cannot come anywhere near sin and sin is so detestable in his side. But to take on the sins of the world was such a great grief and anguish for Jesus, but he was willing to submit to the will of the father. So he totally surrendered, totally consecrated his life. And hence we see that the morning and evening sacrifice, you know, came to an end in the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross, right? We're able to understand. All of you able to follow? Oh, yeah. Sanjay says this once and for all he offered himself up according to Hebrews chapter 26 and 27. Yes. We're going to read that. Can somebody please read Hebrews chapter seven was 26 and 27. And someone else can read Hebrews chapter 10 versus 11 and 12. For such a high priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless and defiled, separate from sinners and has become higher than the events, who does not need daily as those high priests to offer up sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the people for this he did once for all when he offered up himself. Thank you, Lucy. Can someone else read Hebrews chapter 10 versus 11 and 12 please? Hebrews chapter 10 versus 11 and 12 and every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. Amen. Thank you, Sanjay. So we see that here, you know, Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice for sins forever. And he did this once and for all. Okay. The reason why he could do this was because he was holy. He was undefiled and he was separate from sinners. Okay. We will also look at another way that, you know, Jesus fulfilled being the, you know, the sinless lamb. He became the suffering lamb. Okay. So another aspect of Jesus as the lamb of God, we see that he is the suffering lamb. We read this in Isaiah chapter 53 versus 7 to 10. He was oppressed and he was afflicted. Yet he opened not his mouth. He was held as a lamb to be to the slaughter and as a sheep before it's a sheriff in silent. So he opened not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment and who will declare his generation. For he was cut off from the land of the living for the transgressions of my people. He was stricken and they made his grave with the wicked. But with the rich and his death, because he had done no violence nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him. He had put him to grief. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see history. He shall prolong his days and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hands. Amen. Thank you. Let's get rude. So here we see Jesus as, you know, you know, being prophesied as that lamb will be the suffering lamb. Okay. Who will suffer for the sins of the people who will die and make that sacrifice on the cross. And look at what 1 Peter chapter 2 verses 21 to 24 says. Can somebody read that please? 1 Peter chapter 2 verses 21 and 24. 1 Peter chapter 2 verses 21 to 24. 1 Peter chapter 2 verses 21 and 24. 1 Peter chapter 2 verses 21 to 24. For to this you were called because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that you should follow his steps. Who committed no sin nor was deceit found in his mouth. Who, when he was reviled, did not revile in return. When he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously. Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree. That we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness by whose stripes you were healed. Amen. Thank you, Sanjay. So here the scriptures are talking about Christ as the suffering lamb. Who will be oppressed, afflicted. And when he was reviled, what is the meaning of reviled? When he was criticized strongly. Or when he was unpleasant, things were said to him. What did he do? He did not revile in return. So it describes how Jesus willingly and passively, which means willingly and very submissively bore the penalty for our sins. He did not fight against it. He did not argue. He did not do anything to stop it, but he willingly and very submissively he bore the penalty of the sins of the entire human race. It also talks about him as a suffering lamb who was stricken for our transgression because it was the will of God that Jesus should be bruised. Now when you look at this verse, I mean this phrase, it was the will of God that he should be bruised. What does it mean? What is your understanding? It was the will of God that he should be bruised. What is your understanding of this? What is the meaning of bruised? Like punished. You inflict wounds. Sorry? You inflict pain. You inflict pain. What else? So it says here that it was the will of the Lord that Jesus be bruised. What does it mean? Like the sense of the whole world was too heavy. Okay. So we are basically saying that it was God's will of the Father's will that Jesus should be wounded, should be battered, should be injured. Okay. Should be beaten up. So when you think about that, what comes to your mind about the Father? Aren't you all shocked? Say he loved the world so much. Okay. He loved the world so much. The sins of the world was too heavy as he is holy. So it had to be sacrificed to such an extent. Okay. So it says that when it's the will of the Lord or the will of the Father that Jesus should be bruised, punished, injured, inflicted all his pains. Are we looking at it or thinking or saying that, hey, God enjoys or took pleasure in seeing his son suffering on the cross? To show us how much he loved him. He loved us. Sorry. No, sister, because God is just and holy. Jesus had to bear this punishment in his body in flesh because sin is in the flesh. Okay. Thank you. Yes, it was not God's, you know, God does not take pleasure in seeing, you know, his son suffer on the cross. You know, some people get interpreted and say, you know, God, you know, when he asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son, you know, how can he do that? He was just basically taking pleasure in seeing or, you know, when he's inflicting punishment on people in the Old Testament. But people say that, you know, God takes pleasure. And so here also we read that, you know, he, he, it was a will of God, the Father to see Jesus being bruised. Okay. So like our inverse, the students said it was showing the extent of his love for us. But here when it's saying it is a will of the Lord, it's basically saying that this is how God, you know, had planned the sacrifice to be made. Because if you look at a lamb, or if you even now if you look, you go to the chicken shop and you want to buy chicken and you'll take a live chicken and you know, you, you want to, you know, they will clean it and clean it up for you so that you can cook and enjoy the chicken. But you see that, that animal suffering, right? Once they slit the throat, you can see the animal really suffering. So it was in a sense that God had planned it that way that, you know, the sins to take on the sins of the world, there was suffering. There was pain because sin causes a lot of suffering and a lot of pain. So it was not something that the Father was pleased in doing, not something that he was, he enjoyed doing, like some people can interpret, like some people can say. But here it was basically, you know, showing us that, you know, hey, sin, this is what sin causes, sin causes so much of pain, damage and shame. And even the Son of God, you know, had to go through all of this. He went through all of it to take on the sins of the whole world. And that is the full extent of the Father showing His love for us. And that is also what sin brings pain and sin brings suffering. And it has consequences. Now look at the purpose of the suffering, you know, the purpose of the suffering of Jesus's suffering or the purpose of the sacrifice of the suffering lamb was that, you know, make His soul as an offering for sin. Okay. Make His soul as an offering for sin. Now the word offering here basically is referring to a trespass offering. A trespass offering is what is, you know, laid out for us or defined for us in Leviticus chapter 5, verses 14 to chapter 6, verse 7, and even in Numbers chapter 5, verses 7 and 8. Okay. Now Jesus was made as an offering for sin means He was made as a trespass offering. Now, if you look at this word trespass in the Hebrew, it basically means guilt. Okay. So it denotes guilt of disobedience. It denotes guilt of violating, which means destroying or disobeying the rights of others. It can be God or man. So when here it says that Jesus, you know, his soul was made as an offering for sin. It's basically talking about the trespass offering or the guilt offering. Okay. Because the word offering here in Hebrew means trespass. Okay. So trespass offering. So what is a trespass offering? Basically a trespass offering is made when somebody disobeys God. Okay. Breaks His commandments and also somebody who's violating or going or disobeying or destroying the rights of others, whether it is God or it is man. Okay. When we look at this trespass offering, what does God require of this trespass offering? You know, in the trespass offering, when a person disobeys God or he violates somebody else's right, whether it's this man or God, they have to make an offering. So the offering required or included restitution. Restitution means, you know, you not only just make the sacrifice to God, you go to the temple and make the sacrifice. But you also have to, apart from the sacrifice that you go to the temple and make to God, you also have to cover up the damages that were done. Okay. By offering a sacrifice than animal. And also it required a social restitution, which required that you, you know, make up for what you had done with the person you repaid that person. So here in this trespass offering, there were two things that were required. One was restitution, you know, where you basically the individual has to cover up the damages. We had done in addition to making the sacrifice to God. And that was basically, you know, involving you, you pay up for what you had done apart from the sacrifice that you have given to God. So the trespass offering not only involved making atonement for your sin in offering that sacrifice, the atonement covered up your sin before God, but also involved social restitution, which means you had to pay back the person for the wrong that you have done. Do you understand? Yes. So trespass offering required atonement and restitution. Atonement is when you're making a sacrifice to God and restitution is basically you're covering up for the damages. So for example, if you get angry with your neighbor and, you know, they have a donkey, you won't kill that donkey. You put some poison or something and you kill the donkey and the neighbor comes to know and, you know, you're judged for it. So you have to go to the temple and make a sacrifice and you also have to buy a donkey and replace it with your neighbor. Okay. So that is your restitution that you make. So we see that Jesus, you know, became that trespass offering. Okay. He made the atonement for the sins, but also he was he was he made a restitution by paying the debt for our sins, the sins of the mankind. He paid it to a holy God. When Jesus died on the cross, you know, he not only made that atoning sacrifice that covered up our sins once for all, but he also made that restitution for our sins. He paid for our sins. He paid the debts for our sins to this holy God, you know, who was wronged. We sin, you know, we wrong God. Okay. We hurt him. We wrong him. And so there was, you know, restitution that had to be made. So Jesus, you know, paid the sins or he paid the debt to a holy God who had been violated. And so we see that in the trespass offering that God had instituted, it was basically pointing out to Jesus. So Jesus came and he made that atoning sacrifice. And also he paid the compensation that was needed to satisfy this God who was wronged to satisfy this God who, you know, who was who had been violated by our own sins. And so, you know, when he made, he paid that debt, you know, he satisfied this holy God. And thus he was able to reconcile a man back to God. Okay. All of you able to understand? Yes. So in the morning and evening sacrifices, what was, how did Jesus fulfill it? What are the two things he did to fulfill it? Atonement and consecration. And when we look at Jesus as the suffering lamb who made that trespass offering. Okay. What did he do to fulfill the trespass offering? Atonement and restitution. Okay. Yeah. So we see that he made that atoning sacrifice. Yes. And you said because the father and son are one, sorry, I can't understand. What did you mean by saying the father and son are one? No, pastor. I was just suggesting since when Jesus bore our sins on the cross, in a way it was God Himself who bore our sins and punishment through Jesus because the father and son are one. I was just drawing a. I couldn't hear you. Okay. So what I was saying was that since Jesus bore our sins and punishment on the cross, in a way it was like God Himself bore our sins and punishment through His Son because the father and son are one. So you're saying it was when Jesus was doing it, it was the father himself doing it? No, in a way because the Bible teaches the father and son are one. So when God sent His Son to suffer on our behalf, it was like God taking that punishment. I was just drawing a. I think that is not what we see in the Bible. It was when Jesus was taking on the sins of the whole world. He was taking it because he was a fully man. He was in our place. He was identifying and our representative. But yes, he was in fully God in the sense that he was sinless and hence he was able to make that sacrifice. And when he was making that sacrifice, it was not God. The father who was also taking the son because Jesus on the cross says, you know, when Jesus took on the sins of the whole world and on the cross, he says, you know, Father, why have you forsaken me? Okay. So he when he was, he took on the sins of the whole world. He was forsaken by the father because he was sin. He took on the both the sins of the entire mankind. So it was not God, the father also in one sense taking on the sins of the world. It was Jesus who was taking on the sins of the world. It was Jesus who was making that full sufficient, perfect sacrifice that pleased or satisfied this God who was holy was wrong. Who we had violated with God against. And so Jesus's sacrifice paid the debt to this holy God. And when he did so, you know, God, the father was pleased with that sacrifice. So how do we know that he was pleased with the sacrifice? And how do we know that Jesus's sacrifice atone for the sins of the whole world made that paid the debt in full was because Jesus was resurrected from the dead. So resurrection is also powerful and as equally important as crucifixion because resurrection actually proves that yes, what Jesus did was the God, the father was pleased and it appeased him. And he was satisfied with the offering with the debt that was paid through the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross. Thank you, Pastor. Yes, this clarifies, clarifies. Thank you, Pastor. So it was not God, the father also with him on the cross doing it and taking on the sins of the world. But Jesus could take on the sins of the world because he was fully human. In that sense, that's why we see humanity and divinity coexisted in the person of Jesus Christ. And God who is holy cannot come near sin. Sin cannot touch him. Then he seizes to be God. He seizes to be God and he becomes like one of us. So I hope that clarified. I think that is sometimes again a wrong understanding and a theology. Yes, Pastor. Thank you. Thank you for bringing it up. So we see that, you know, Jesus made the atoning sacrifice on also the compensation of the restitution that was needed to satisfy God and hence he reconciled us back to the father. All of you would be able to understand? Yes. So we're seeing how Jesus is sacrificed, you know, actually corresponds to what God had instituted in the Old Testament, the sacrifices and how Jesus is a type in shadow and how he fulfilled those Old Testament sacrifice. We look at another aspect of the sacrifice that Jesus made. Okay. When Jesus was crucified, was he crucified in the city? In the city or outside the city? Outside the city. Outside the city. Why was he crucified outside the city? Okay. Look at what Hebrews chapter 13 versus 11 and 12 says. Can somebody believe that, please? Thank you, Lucy. Outside. So Hebrews 13, 11 and 12. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin are burned outside the camp. Therefore, Jesus also that he might sanctify the people with his own blood suffered outside the gate. Yes. So here we see that, you know, the writer of Hebrews saying that, you know, the animals that, you know, were sacrificed whose blood was brought and sprinkled by the priest. Where was these animals burned? Outside the camp. Okay. And so he's saying, therefore Jesus also that he might sanctify the people cleanse purify, sanctify means what? Cleanse purify, set apart the people with his own blood. He suffered outside the gate. Okay. So we see another aspect of the Old Testament sacrifice and how Jesus identified with it. Jesus was sacrificed on the cross outside the city limits. And so we see that, you know, he related with the animals that were burned that were offered as a sacrifice, but actually burned outside the sanctuary outside the camp. So in studying Jesus Christ as the sinless lamb, we see how, you know, the sacrifices in the Old Testament spoke clearly and specifically about the various aspects of Jesus Christ as that lamb of God. Okay. And it's important for us to note here that even as God instituted all of these Old Testament sacrifices or ceremonies, you know, it was actually God was foreshadowing or pointing out to someone who's going to come that is Jesus Christ, you know, who would make that full sufficient, perfect sacrifice and would once for all make an end to the sacrifices and would also be that perfect sacrifice. So by instituting all of these sacrifices, God was basically pointing out to the Messiah, to the Son of God, to Jesus Christ, who would be that sinless lamb and make that sacrifice. Okay. So the last aspect of the Lamb of God that we will look at is in the book of Revelation. So there's Revelation chapter 5 verses 11 to 13. In somebody read that, please. Revelation chapter 6 verses 15 to 17, Revelation 14 verses 1, 9 and 10 and Revelation 17 12 to 14. So different people can read these passages. Revelation 5, 11 to 13. Then I looked and I heard the voice of many angels around the throat, the living creatures and the elders and the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000 and thousands of thousands. Saying with a loud voice, worthy is the Lamb who was claimed to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven and on earth and under the earth and such are in the sea and all that are in them, I heard saying, blessing and honor, glory and power be to him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever. Amen. Thank you. Revelation 6, 5 to 17. Can somebody read that, please? Revelation 6, chapter 6 verse 15, and the kings of the earth, the great man, the rich man, the commander, the mighty man, every slave and every free man, hit themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountain, verse 16, and said to the mountains and rock, fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb for the great day of his wrath has come and who is able to stand. Amen. Revelation 14 verses 9, verses 1, 9 and 10. Can somebody read that, please? Revelation 14, 1, 9 and 10. Then I looked and behold a lamb standing on Mount Zion and with him 144,000 having his father's name written on their foreheads, then a third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, if anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. Amen. Thank you, sir. Can somebody read Revelation 17 verses 12 to 14, please? Revelation 17 verses 12 to 14. The 10 powers which you saw are the 10 kings who have received no kingdom as it, but they received authority for one hour as kings with the beast. There are one mind and they will give their power and authority to the beast. They will make war with the lamb and the lamb will overcome them. For he is lord of lords and king of kings and those who are with him are called chosen and faithful. So here in this last section, what did you observe over the Lamb of God? Is it the same that we've been studying all this time as a suffering lamb, as a lamb that was going to be bruised and punished? Is it the same kind of example we see in Revelation? Yes, no. No sister. No. We see him, as Lucy says, as a king. This last section of the Lamb of God in Revelation is a little out of context, but of Jesus as a suffering lamb, the lamb that was crucified, the lamb that was made as a sacrifice. Okay. But we are looking at it because there are 28 references of Jesus as the lamb in the book of Revelation. You just quoted a few verses here, but there are 28 references to Jesus as the lamb of God in the book of Revelation. So in Revelation 5, 6 to 14, we look at Jesus as a triumphant lamb in Revelation who was the slain lamb that returns from the dead who is worthy to receive honor and power and might and wisdom and glory and honor and blessing. We also see in Revelation 6 verses 15 to 17 that he is a powerful figure who this lamb is a powerful figure who exercises a rock and who strikes fear in those with whom he comes into contact. Okay. It also talks about in Revelation chapter 7 verse 17, he is a lamb who is described as a shepherd of God's people. Okay. And in Revelation chapter 14 verse 1 talks about him as a lamb who stands triumphant on Mount Zion. Okay. And also in Revelation chapter 17 verse 14 talks about the lamb as one who would overcome in the midst of opposition and in Revelation chapter 22 talks about him who ultimately establishes his enduring reign upon the earth as a representative of God. So here we see that he talks about Jesus as the apocalyptic view of the lamb. The apocalyptic means, you know, is basically describing or prophesying the complete destruction of the world. Okay. So when Jesus comes, he's no longer going to be that passive submissive and suffering sacrifice. You know, instead we will look at him as that lamb who's pictured as the triumphant, victorious and overcoming conqueror who is the king. So when Jesus came the first time he came as the lamb that was to take on the sins of the world was passive submissive, you know, and that suffering sacrifice. But when Jesus comes again, he would come as that lamb, you know, who we would look up or picture somebody who comes as the triumphant, victorious and overcoming conqueror. So it is interesting to view Jesus as this apocalyptic lamb. Okay. Apocalyptic basically is describing or prophesying complete destruction of the world. So he's come to, going to come and destroy the world and set up his rule and reign here on the, so two different pictures of this lamb of God, of Jesus Christ. One in the whole of the rest of the books of, you know, the Bible. Of course in Daniel we have a lot of apocalyptic literature that is also talking about this lamb but in Revelation basically talking as the lamb of God who's going to come to, you know, be that triumphant, victorious and overcoming conqueror. We'll stop here. Okay. Anyone has any questions? Any questions? I hope you're able to understand this lesson. Okay. And I hope it was interesting to look at the various aspects of the lamb, the sacrifice and how it was fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Okay. No questions and we'll end class today's Friday. So thank you everyone for joining class and have a blessed weekend. I'll see you all on Tuesday. Thank you.
