The Scroll of the Father, the Lambs book of life, delivered by the Spirit

My brother was saying the book in Rev 5:1-9 is not discussed. I see this as the Father knows the date and times (Matthew 24:36, 30-51), this is given to Jesus in heaven (after death, burial, resurrection, and ascension - Acts 1:1-11), the scroll of judgment and destruction also reveals the Lamb's book of life (Rev 3:5). Jesus was given all authority in heaven and heaven and sends us to go and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:17-20). This the little scroll was given to us to take to heart (Rev 10:1-10). To taste and see that the Lord is good. 

 - The Lamb conquered; He came; He has taken the roll. He is the wisdom of the Church; among all pre-eminent; all things will be reconciled in Him; the purpose and meaning of all life's mysteries and sorrows will be made plain in Him. (Comp. 1Corinthians 1:24; Ephesians 1:9-10; Colossians 1:18.) From Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

...the spontaneous act of the Lamb in taking the book of his own accord as his right, with the call to St. John to take the little book (Revelation 10:8). Out of the right hand. The position of power and honour. He to whom all power was given in heaven and in earth (Matthew 28.) is the only One who can penetrate the mysteries and dispense the power of God's right hand. Of him that sat upon the throne; of him that sitteth. That is, the Triune God (see on Revelation 4:2). The Son in his human capacity, as indicated by his sacrificial form of the Lamb, can take and reveal the mysteries of the eternal Godhead in which he, as God, has part. From Pulpit Commentary

Scroll, Book searches in revelation were also helpful. In my study of Revelation, I concluded that "John sees God's redemptive plan completed in Christ's return", Rev 13:8 is part of a parenthetical gospel message that reveals God's plan from the creation to the final judgment. 

Jesus is the authority: Daniel 7:13,Daniel 7:14,Luke 10:22,John 3:35,John 13:13,John 17:2,1 Corinthians 15:27,Ephesians 1:20-Ephesians 1:22,Philippians 2:9,Philippians 2:10

I have a reminder on my phone, "The Lord knows those who are his" with a picture of a man kneeling in prayer. The context is not to get bogged down with arguments that benefit no one. 

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God [which He has laid] stands [sure and unshaken despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord stand apart from wickedness and withdraw from wrongdoing.” 2 Timothy 2:19-26

A friend asked me for prayer for her Alpha Weekend, she wanted to communicate her excitement about the prospect of inviting God into your life, to not miss the Holy Spirit Weekend. The encouragement is to have fun, build friendship and experience the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Lord brought me to James 3:17-18;Col 4:5-6.

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace-loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.

Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.

Prayer: Lord, let my words be helpful to those who hear them. Let my delivery be tasteful and gentle, wholesome and pleasing. May I be the peacemaker in this world for your glory. Amen.
