L'Agneau Messianique

Image
L'Agneau immolé est le Messie dans l'Apocalypse qui triomphe et règne sur les Nations et les Rois de la Terre . Dans la prédication populaire, Jésus est devenu le “Lion rugissant de Juda” qui lancera bientôt son cri de prédateur alors qu'il tue ses ennemis. Contrairement à l'homme de Nazareth, ce roi guerrier détruira tous ceux qui lui résistent alors qu'il impose son royaume aux volontaires et aux réticents. Il n'est plus le sauveur qui s'est soumis à une mort injuste pour sauver le monde. Le  Livre de l'Apocalypse  ne nous dit-il pas qu'il est le Lion messianique?

The Messianic Lamb

Image
The Slain Lamb is the Messiah in Revelation who overcomes and reigns over the Nations and the Kings of the Earth . In popular preaching, Jesus has become the “ Roaring Lion of Judah ” who will soon unleash his predatory cry as he slays his enemies. Unlike the man from Nazareth, this warrior-king will destroy everyone who resists him as he imposes his kingdom on the willing and the unwilling. No longer is he the savior who submitted to an unjust death to save the world. Does not the  Book of Revelation  tell us that he is the Messianic Lion?

The Ruler of Kings

Jesus, the Faithful Witness, now reigns supreme over the Kings of the Earth, and he is shepherding the nations to the Holy City of New Jerusalem . Jesus is called the “ Ruler of the Kings of the Earth ” in the Prologue of Revelation . This declaration is made in the present tense since his sovereignty over the Earth is based on his Death and Resurrection. He does not rule by hereditary right, economic power, or military might, but because of his redeeming death. The slain “ Lamb ” is the one who sits on the Throne. His authority extends even over “ Death and Hades .”

The Man of the Spirit

Image
Jesus is the Anointed Son of God, and from the start, his life was characterized by the empowering presence of the Spirit . When an angel informed Joseph that the child carried by Mary was “ conceived of the Holy Spirit ,” it indicated that something more than just a miraculous birth was about to unfold. From the beginning, the activity of the Spirit dominated the life of Jesus of Nazareth.  He was “ Jesus, the one called Christ ,” the “ Anointed One ,” the long-awaited Messiah of Israel.

Le Salut de Yahvé

Image
Jésus signifie ‘Yahvé sauve.’ Dans l'homme de Nazareth, le Salut promis par le Dieu d'Israël est arrivé dans toute sa gloire . L'ange a informé Joseph que l'enfant porté par Marie était “ engendré du Saint-Esprit .” Il ordonna à Joseph de nommer l'enfant ' Jésus ' - “ Appelez son nom Jésus, car il sauvera son peuple de ses péchés .” Ce nom indiquait l'acte salvifique de Dieu pour l'humanité qu'Il était sur le point de révéler au monde. Le monde verrait le ‘ Salut de Yahvé ’ en Jésus de Nazareth.
