Who Can Open the Scroll? Daniel 7 & Revelation 5 Explained

B10L12 Daniel 7 and Revelation 5 unlock one of the Bible's most stunning prophetic pictures — who is worthy to open the scroll, and what does it mean for the world's future? 📖 In this verse-by-verse study, Les walks through Daniel 7 picking up at verse 7 — the ten horns of the revived Roman Empire, the rise of the Antichrist as the "little horn," and how three nations lose their identity before he emerges. From there, the study cross-references Revelation 13 and 17 to show how Daniel and John describe the same end-time empire using the same prophetic language. Then comes one of the most powerful passages in all of Scripture: Daniel 7:13, where the Son of Man comes before the Ancient of Days and receives His eternal kingdom. This leads into Revelation 5, where the Lamb — the Lion of the tribe of Judah — is the only one found worthy to take the scroll sealed with seven seals. Les explains this scroll as a mortgage on creation, rooted in Jewish custom from the book of Ruth, and traces it all the way back to Genesis 1:28, where Adam lost dominion to Satan. Matthew 4:8-9 confirms Satan's ownership — and why only Christ's death, burial, and resurrection qualifies Him to pay it off and reclaim the earth. ✝️ Key Topics Covered: • Daniel 7:7-9 — The ten horns, the little horn, and the rise of the Antichrist • Revelation 13 & 17 — How the revived Roman Empire fulfills Daniel's vision • The significance of the number eight in Scripture — new beginnings and the Antichrist • Daniel 7:13 — The Son of Man before the Ancient of Days receiving His kingdom • Revelation 5:1-9 — The seven-sealed scroll as Satan's mortgage on creation • Genesis 1:28 — Adam's dominion lost to Satan at the Fall • Matthew 4:8-9 — Satan's legal ownership of the world's kingdoms confirmed • Why only Christ is worthy to open the scroll and lift the curse 🔑 Daniel 7 ten horns Antichrist little horn, Revelation 5 scroll seven seals Lamb worthy, revived Roman Empire Bible prophecy, Son of Man Ancient of Days Daniel 7:13, Satan's mortgage Genesis curse lifted tribulation, Revelation 13 beast empire end times, Christ redeems dominion Genesis 1:28.
