"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals."
The Spirit uses the right hand to indicate Jesus Chrst as in this Psalm, "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."(Ps.16:11). Here are two more references, "Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself." and "And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself." (Ps.80:17,15). The throne that St John refers to the Lord God. The right hand indicates the Word made flesh in the context, considering that the Lamb slain who shall take the book with seals refers to the body that God has prepared for him. Before the Lamb would open the seals the Spirit is setting the entire day decreed for the Son within the chapter. Thus we shall consider this chapter and the one preceding it as an exercise orienting the readers with the Revelation of Jesus Christ in terms of the body' Thou has prepared me'
The body has a memorial and it is what the four and twenty elders signifies. According to the everlasting covenant God and his Son, the Fellowship of God and Man has a facsimile as it were, enshrined before the throne. To this primary relationship we also have His creation in the four beasts pendent which refers to the last Adam and the four beasts. As with the right hand of him who sat on the throne indicates the Word ecome flesh, the beast with the face of man, the third beast refers to Jesus Christ the Last Adam. This entire scene is set up by the Spirit where the Law of the Spirit has its own logic, time element so we shall benefit only by suspension of disbelief. If we willing accord it to the author of the book we read, is it too much to ask?
