    Rev.5 Angel of the Lord

    God decrees "Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee."(Ps.2.7) The worlds framed by the word of God are the result. (Heb.11.3)

    5.1 'And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne.' He gives the book bound with seven seals refer to the Law of the Spirit set to work. The right hand refers to the Word which was with God.

    5.2 "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice," The same angel we see in Ch.10 "And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire./And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth." (Rev.10-1-2) Once again a little book' which is now open and pendent to the event of breaking open the book with seven seals. God divided the dry land from seas.(Gen.1.10) These angels of the Lord wherever mentioned in the narrative are interchangeable. The angels are accordingly unnamed, "Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?" Samson's parent would not know.( Judges 13.18)

    These angels named and unnamed alike are sent to the earth, for which the Law places the clue."and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth"(Rev.5.6) The seven horns establish the sovereignty of the word of God." So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."(Isa,55.11) In short events taking place are from three POV where the seven horns sees to the success. As the word sent forth we have a corresponding action, " And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."(Rev.6.2)
