That is why the old man, in chapter 5 of Revelation, tells John: “Do not weep, behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who has prevailed to take the Book and to open its Seals.” When John looks, he sees a Lamb.
Both saw the same person but with different ministries: John saw Him as the Lamb of God, the elder saw Him as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
John saw Him as the one who was in His First Coming and His Work of Intercession; the elder saw Him as the one who will begin the Reclaiming Work and the work relevant to a new dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom; but John saw Him as the character of the Dispensation of Grace and His Work of Intercession; but both saw the same person: they saw the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, when He takes the Book, when He presents Himself as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He is there finishing the Work of Intercession and beginning the Reclaiming Work, taking everything that corresponds, everything that is fundamental, or the foundation to carry out the Reclaiming Work.
That is why that moment in Heaven is so important, in the heavenly Temple, there in the Throne of God, who has in His right hand the Title Deed, that Book sealed with seven Seals, the Title Deed of Heaven and Earth, the Title Deed of eternal life; Title Deed that Adam had, which was given to him by God, but when he sinned, he lost the right to have that Book so that he could not eat it and live eternally as a sinner.
(…) And now, the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to Earth with the little Book open in His hand, in Revelation, chapter 10, is the mystery of the Second Coming of the Lord to carry out the Reclaiming Work on Earth. He brings the little Book open in His hand, He cries out as when a lion roars and seven thunders utter their voices.
That Mighty Angel is the Angel of the Covenant, and therefore, He comes with the Covenant; that is why He comes with a rainbow around His head. And He comes with the full Covenant, eternal Covenant, and the Title Deed in His hand; and that Title Deed open.
The first time that this Title Deed is opened, was in Revelation, chapter 5; and the first time it comes to Earth open, is in Revelation, chapter 10.
Therefore, it is the first time that Title Deed will be open on Earth. In the time of Adam it was in Adam, but closed. In the second Adam, when He takes it in Revelation 5, He takes it and opens it.

Everything that corresponds to the seven Seals is going to be spoken.
The Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, says Reverend William Branham: “It is not yet open.” That was the teaching of what is to happen, and where he brought the teaching of what was already history, and what was happening in his time; and all that is contained in the Seals; but the Title Deed is still in the right hand of God.
When it is taken from the right hand of God, then there Christ has changed from Lamb to Lion, from High Priest to Judge. And that is why in Revelation, chapter 10, He cries out as when a lion roars (what?); there He is already as a Lion, with the Book open in His hand and seven thunders uttering their voices.
THE BOOK OF THE SEVEN SEALS IN THE HAND OF A PROPHET

Now, this is the Coming of Christ, it is the Coming of Christ at the end of time, it is the Coming of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: the I AM of the Old Testament and the Jesus of the New Testament; it is the Coming of that Pillar of Fire that appeared to Moses.
To human sight, what Moses saw was a pillar of fire, and so did Saul; but it was the Lord Jesus Christ in that theophanic body.
Now, here, in the book of The Seven Seals, page 256, the messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church, tells us in the book of The Seals:1
“196 But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse (he is speaking about Revelation 19). And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man.”
It is Jesus Christ manifesting Himself in His Angel Messenger, to whom He gives the little open Book of the Seven Seals to eat it, and so he can give the Word, that Book in its contents, to all the elect; and thus we receive the rights to everything contained in that Book of the Seven Seals, thus we receive the contents of everything that is there, we receive all the blessings that are in that Book; and we obtain all the rights contained in that Book.
Now, you see, everything is simple, because the great things that He has promised for the end of the world God works them in a simple way.
