REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Fifteen - "The Lamb That Was Slaughtered

 Right in the center, beside the throne, within the circles formed by the four living creatures and the 24 elders. there is a lamb! Doubtless John quickly identifies this lamb with "the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah" and  "the root of David."  He knows that, more than 60 years earlier, John the Baptizer introduced Jesus to onlooking Jews as "the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29) All during his life on earth, Jesus remained untainted by the world-just like an unblemished lamb-so that he could offer his blameless life aa sacrifice for mankind. -1 CORINTHIANS 5:7;  HEBREWS 7:26.
