Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction,
upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

1 Corinthians 10:11 (NASB95)

Q. In Revelation 5.1 there is a scroll with seven seals that only Yeshua will be able to open. Is this scroll the Bible ?

A. Yes, the scroll sealed with seven seals is the Scriptures. A King is to have a copy of the Torah in his possession at all times. It is to be written himself and used to carry out righteous judgment. Revelation 4 describes the coronation of Yeshua and as a good Jewish King, He will have a written copy of the Scriptures for Himself and it is these Scriptures that He uses to dispense judgment during the Tribulation and to govern Israel and the nations during the Kingdom. Some of the prophetic scriptures are sealed until the last days and then they will be revealed then (Dan 12.4) and that is what is going on in Revelation. The number seven relates to perfection and completion and the scroll is written in the inside (meaning there is some understanding to the prophecies), and on the back (meaning there are other things hidden about the prophecies). The Lamb is the only one worthy to fulfill or accomplish the prophecies and to carry them out. These seals relate to prophecies already given and if you compare the seals you will see that they relate especially to Mt 24.1-30.
