Karapat-dapat ang Kordero

7. Worthy Is the Lamb
Key Text
Revelation 5:5 nkjv
“BUT ONE OF the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seal.’ ”
Susing Talata. “At sinabi sa akin ng isa sa matatanda, ‘Huwag kang umiyak. Tingnan mo, ang Leon sa lipi ni Juda, ang Ugat ni David, ay nagtagumpay upang mabuksan niya ang aklat at ang pitong tatak nito’ ” (Apocalipsis 5:5).

8. Worthy Is the Lamb
Initial Words
THE VISION OF chapters 4 and 5 takes place in heaven’s throne room and sym- bolically portrays God’s control of history and of the plan of salvation. Before the future is revealed, we are shown the centrality of Christ’s high-priestly ministry in heaven. These chapters provide Heaven’s perspective on the meaning of future events recorded in the rest of the book.
Panimulang Salita. Ang pangitain ng kapitulo 4 at 5 ay nagaganap sa silid ng trono sa langit at simbolikong naglalarawan ng kontrol ng Diyos sa kasaysayan at sa panukala ng kaligtasan. Bago inihayag ang kinabukasan, ipinapakita sa atin ang sentralidad ng pagkapunong paring ministri ni Cristo sa langit. Ang mga kapitulong ito’y nagbibigay ng pananaw sa kahulugan ng mga pangyayari sa kinabukasan na naitala sa ibang bahagi ng aklat.

1. The Heavenly Throne Room
Revelation 4:2-8 nkjv
“A THRONE SET in heaven, and One sat on the throne. ... Around the throne were twenty-four thrones...[with] twenty-four elders.... And in the midst of the throne...were four living creatures...
like a lion...like a calf...like a man...like a flying eagle. The four living creatures do not rest day or night....”
1. Ang Silid sa Makalangit na Trono. “Doon sa langit ay may isang tronong nakalagay at sa trono ay may isang nakaupo. ... At sa palibot ng trono ay may dalawampu’t apat na trono...[na may] dalawampu’t apat na matatanda.... At sa gitna ng trono...ay may apat na nilalang na... ¶ tulad ng isang leon...tulad ng isang baka...may mukha ng isang tao...tulad ng isang agilang lumilipad. At ang apat na nilalang na buháy...[ay] walang humpay...araw at gabi...” (Apocalipsis 4:2-8).

11. The Heavenly Throne Room
True Worship
THE THRONE SYMBOLIZES God’s rule and governing authority over creation, while the rainbow around the throne signifies God’s faithfulness to His promises (Gen. 9:13–16; Isa. 54:9, 10).
However, Satan, who usurped the dominion of this earth and is God’s adversary, has disputed divine authority.
Tunay na Pagsamba. Ang trono ay sumisimbolo sa paghahari at namumunong awtoridad ng Diyos sa sangnilikha, samantalang ang bahag-hari na naliligid sa trono ay nangangahulugan ng katapatan ng Diyos sa Kanyang mga pangako (Gen. 9:13–16; Isa. 54:9, 10). ¶ Gayunman, si Satanas, na umagaw sa pamamahala nitong lupa at kaaway ng Diyos, ay sinalungat ang banal na awtoridad.

12. The Heavenly Throne Room
True Worship
The central issue in the great controversy between God and Satan is about who has the right to rule.
The purpose of the heavenly council that John saw gathered in the heavenly throne room was to affirm God’s rightful rule over the universe (Rev. 4:1–8, Rev. 5:11–14).
Ang sentrong isyu sa malaking tunggalian sa pagitan ng Diyos at si Satanas ay tungkol sa kung sino ang may karapatang maghari. ¶ Ang layunin ng makalangit na konsilyo na nakita ni Juan na nagkatipon sa makalangit na silid ng trono ay para pagtibayin ang makatwirang paghahari ng Diyos sa sansinukob (Apocalipsis 4:1–8, Apocalipsis 5:11–14).

13. The Heavenly Throne Room
True Worship
Worship in chapter 4 praises God’s creative power, while chapter 5 celebrates the redemption provided by the slain Lamb.
God, who created the world in six days, has the power and ability also to restore the world to its original condition and to turn it into the eternal home for His people, all of which He has promised to do.
Ang pagsamba sa kapitulo 4 ay pinapupurihan ang malikhaing kapangyarihan ng Diyos, samantalang ang kapituto 5 ay ipinagdiriwang ang katubusang ibinigay ng pinaslang na Kordero. ¶ Ang Diyos, na lumikha ng sanlibutan sa anim na araw, ay meron ang kapangyarihan at kakayahan para isauli rin ito sa kanyang orihinal na katayuan at gawin ito na walang hanggang tahanan para sa Kanyang bayan, lahat na naipangako Niyang gagawin. 
These chapters show that true worship recounts and celebrates God’s mighty acts of Creation and Redemption.

14. The Heavenly Throne Room
The Assembly
The elders in Revelation 4:4 are not angelic beings. The title “elders” in the Bible always is used for humans. In contrast to angels, who stand in God’s presence, these elders sit on thrones.
The white robes they wear are the attire of God’s faithful people (Rev. 3:4, 5).
The crowns are reserved exclusively for the victorious saints (James 1:12).
Ang Pagtitipon. Ang mga matatanda sa Apocalipsis 4:4 ay hindi mga anghel. Ang titulong “matatanda” sa Biblia ay laging ginagamit para sa tao. Kataliwas sa mga anghel, na nakatayo sa presensya ng Diyos, itong matatanda ay nakaupo sa mga trono. ¶ Ang mga puting damit na suot nila ay kasuotan ng matatapat na bayan ng Diyos (Apocalipsis 3:4, 5). Ang mga korona ng pagtatagumpay ay naihiwalay para sa matatagumpay na banal (Santiago 1:12). All of these details suggest that the 24 elders are glorified saints.

15. The Heavenly Throne Room
The Assembly
The four living creatures symbolize the exalted beings who serve God as His agents and the guardians of His throne (Ps. 99:1).
Their wings point symbolically to their swiftness in carrying out God’s orders, and their eyes point to their intelligence.
Ang apat na buhay na nilalang ay sumisimbolo sa mga dinakilang katauhan na naglilingkod sa Diyos bilang Kanyang mga ahente at bantay sa Kanyang trono (Awit 99:1). ¶ Ang kanilang mga pakpak ay simbolikong nakaturo sa tulin nilang isagawa ang mga utos ng Diyos, at kanilang mga mata ay nakaturo sa kanilang katalinuhan. 
Their presence, together with the 24 elders and a myriad of angels around the throne (Rev. 5:11), shows that both heaven and earth are represented in the throne room.

16. Worthy Is the Lamb
2. The Sealed Scroll
Revelation 5:1-7 nkjv
“I SAW IN the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll...sealed with seven seals. ... And no one...was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. ...
Behold...stood a Lamb...having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God...came and took the scroll....’ ”
2. Ang Tinatakang Aklat. “At nakita ko sa kanang kamay ng nakaupo sa trono ang isang aklat na tinatakan ng pitong tatak. ... At walang sinuman...ang makapagbukas ng aklat o makatingin man sa loob nito. ... ¶ [N]akita...ang isang Korderong nakatayo...na may pitong sungay at pitong mata na siyang pitong Espiritu ng Diyos.... Siya’y lumapit, at kinuha ang aklat...” (Apocalipsis 5:1-7).

17. 2. The Sealed Scroll
What It Contained
THE SCROLL CONTAINS “the history of God’s providences, the prophetic history of nations and the church. ...[T]he divine utterances, His authority, His commandments, His laws, the whole symbolic counsel of the Eternal, and the history of all ruling powers in the nations.”—EGW, Manuscript Releases, 9:7.
Ang Nilalaman Nito. Ang aklat ay nilalaman “ang kasaysayan ng mga kalinga ng Diyos, ang propetikong kasaysayan ng mga bansa at ng iglesya. ... [A]ng maka-Diyos na pagsasalita, ang Kanyang awtoridad, ang Kanyang mga kautusan, at ang buong simbolikong payo ng Diyos, at ang kasaysayan ng lahat ng naghaharing kapangyarihan sa mga bansa.”—EGW, Manuscript Releases, 9:7. 
The sealed scroll contains the mystery of God regarding His plans to solve the sin problem and save fallen human beings. The full realization of that mystery will occur at the second coming of Christ.

18. The sealed scroll comprised God’s plan for resolving the sin problem.
What It Contained
The sealed scroll comprised God’s plan for resolving the sin problem.
The redemption of the fallen human race required something special, and that was Jesus, who did “overcome” and thus was worthy to open the book, to assume the lordship over this earth, and become our Mediator in the heavenly sanctuary.
Ang natatakang aklat ay binubuo ng panukala ng Diyos para sa kalutasan sa problema ng kasalanan. ¶ Ang katubusan ng nagkasalang lahi ng tao ay nangailangan ng isang natatangi, at iyon ay si Jesus, na “nagtagumpay” at sa gayon ay karapat-dapat na buksan ang aklat, para kunin ang pagka-panginoon sa lupang ito, at maging ating Tagapamagitan sa makalangit na santuwaryo. 


19. 2. The Sealed Scroll
Worthy Is the Lamb
When Christ takes the scroll, it shows He holds the destiny of all humanity in His hands. The four living creatures and the 24 elders fall down before Him and worship: With His blood, He has paid the ransom for fallen human beings and offers them all the hope of redemption and the promise of a future we barely can imagine.
Karapat-dapat ang Kordero. Nang kinuha ni Cristo ang aklat, ipinapakita nito na ang kapalaran ng lahat ng sangkatauhan ay hawak Niya. Nagpatirapa ang apat na buhay na nilalang at ang 24 matatanda sa harap Niya at sumamba: Sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang dugo ay nabayaran Niya ang pantubos para sa nagkasalang tao at iniaalok sa kanilang lahat ang pag-asa ng katubusan at ang pangako ng isang kinabukasang halos di natin maisip.

20. 2. The Sealed Scroll
Worthy Is the Lamb
Now joined by the countless number of the angelic host the occupants of the throne room exclaim with a loud voice: “ ‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!’ ” (Rev. 5:12).
All creation in heaven and on earth joins together in offering royal adoration.
Sinamahan ngayon ng di-mabilang na mga anghel ang mga naninirahan sa silid ng trono ay ibinulalas na may malakas na tinig: “ ‘Ang Kordero na pinaslang ay karapat-dapat tumanggap ng kapangyarihan, kayamanan, karunungan, kalakasan, karangalan, kaluwalhatian, at kapurihan’ ” (Apocalipsis 5:12). ¶ Ang lahat ng sangnilikha sa langit at sa lupa ay magsasama sa paghahandog ng maharlikang pagsamba.

21. which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”
Worthy Is the Lamb
3. The Significant Pentecost
Revelation 5:6, 7 nRSv
“THEN I SAW between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders a Lamb standing as if it had been slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes,
which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”
3. Ang Kabuluhan ng Pentekostes. “At nakita ko sa gitna ng trono at ng apat na buháy na nilalang at ng matatanda ang isang Korderong nakatayo, na tulad ng isang pinatay na may pitong sungay at pitong mata. ¶ Ang mga ito’y ang pitong espiritu ng Diyos na isinugo sa buong daigdig” (Apocalipsis 5:6, 7 FSV).

22. 3. The Significant Pentecost
Signals a Heavenly Event
IN THE OUTPOURING of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Acts 2:1–4 confirms one of the most decisive events in the history of the plan of salvation: the inauguration of Christ into His post-Calvary ministry as High Priest and King in the heavenly sanctuary (see also Acts 1:4–8; Acts 2:33).
Ihinuhudyat ang isang Makalangit na Pangyayari. Sa pagbubuhos ng Banal na Espiritu sa Pentecostes, Gawa 2:1-4 ay pinatotohanan ang isa sa pinakamahalagang pangyayari sa kasaysayan ng panukala ng kaligtasan: ang inagurasyon ni Cristo sa Kanyang pagkatapos-ng-Kalbaryong ministri bilang Punong Pari at Hari sa makalangit na santuwaryo (tingnan din ang Gawa 1:4-8; Gawa 2:33).

23. 3. The Significant Pentecost
Signals a Heavenly Event
Through His high-priestly ministry at the right hand of the Father (Rev. 5:6, 7), Christ is able to carry out the plan of salvation to its ultimate realization.
The exaltation of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary was followed by the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples. Revelation 5:6 mentions the seven Spirits that are “sent out into all the earth.”
Sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang pagkapunong paring ministri sa kanang kamay ng Ama (Apocalipsis 3:5:6, 7), si Cristo ay naisagawa ang panukala ng kaligtasan sa pangwakas nitong katuparan. ¶ Ang pagkaparangal kay Cristo sa santuwaryo sa langit ay sinundan ng pagbaba ng Banal na Espiritu sa mga alagad. Binabanggit ng Apocalipsis 5:6 ang pitong Espiritu na “sinugo sa buong daigdig.”

24. 3. The Significant Pentecost
Signals a Heavenly Event
The seven Spirits denote the fullness of the activity of the Holy Spirit in the world. At Christ’s enthronement the Spirit is sent to the church.
This sending of the Holy Spirit is one of Christ’s first acts as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary.
Ang pitong Espiritu ay nangangahulugan ng kapunuan ng gawain ng Banal na Espiritu sa sanlibutan. Sa pagkakaluklok ni Cristo ang Espiritu ay isinugo sa iglesya. ¶ Itong pagkakasugo ng Banal na Espiritu ay isa sa mga unang kilos ni Cristo bilang ating Punong Pari sa makalangit na santuwaryo.

25. Worthy Is the Lamb
Final Words
ONLY THE GOOD news of salvation in Christ can reach and transform human hearts and lead people to respond to the call of the eternal gospel to fear God, give Him glory, and worship Him (Rev. 14:7).
Our only hope is in our Savior, who is our Priest and King in the heavenly sanctuary. He always will be with His people until the very end (Matt. 28:20).
Huling Pananalita. Ang mabuting balita ng kaligtasan lamang kay Cristo ang maaaring mag-abot at magbago sa puso ng tao at akayin ang tao na tumugon sa panawagan ng walang-katapusang ebanghelyo na matakot sa Diyos, luwalhatiin Siya, at sambahin Siya (Apocalipsis 14:7). ¶ Ang pag-asa lamang natin ay sa ating Tagapagligtas, na ating Hari at Pari sa santuwaryo sa langit. Siya ay laging makakasama ng Kanyang Bayan hanggang sa pinakakatapusan (Mateo 28:20).
