The Revelation-Re.14:6-13 “From Henceforth”

GuidetohisWord

“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” (v.13)

What does the key verse tell us? Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” St Paul at the end of his ministry would say ‘Amen’ to it. So would St Stephen the first martyr of the nascent church. “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”(2 Ti.4:7) We shall look at the end of St Stephen. “And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit./ And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.

Here was another:”And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud.”(10:1) . Here he held a little open book.

This vision of the Lamb is yet another. In Ch.5 the Lamb was set in order to indicate the preeminence of the Son the Alpha and Omega aspect of salvation and judgment. “And, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, 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.”(5;6).
