Let's open our Bibles tonight as we come to the wonderful book of Revelation to chapter 5. This is an absolutely crucial and formative chapter for the flow of the rest of the book, as well as being a marvelous account of the vision of God and of the Lamb that the Apostle John experienced. Revelation chapter 5.
I suppose it's common for folks to ask, "Is it possible that we could be near the end of human history? Are we living in the last days? Or better, are we living in the last days of the last days? Are those great events that will culminate human history looming closely ahead as history moves on toward its ultimate end? Could it be that we are living, for example, in the last generation? Could Christ come in the next ten years, five years? Could He come in the next three months?"
And the answer to all of that in general is yes, we could well be living in the last days. The Bible describes the time of the end with some very general descriptions that certainly fit our time. Apostasy is rampant. The nation Israel is back in the land. The stage is certainly set politically, economically and militarily for a great world leader to arise to bring peace in the Middle East. Seducing spirits and doctrines of demons seem to have reached an apex in terms of their proliferation and influence. Europe is revived as Daniel said would come in the time of the end. False prophets abound. Immorality has brought the world to at least the same point it was at when the Lord drown the whole of humanity in the time of the flood of Genesis.
All of those things tell us that we could well be standing on the brink of divine wrath. But no man knows the day or the hour of the coming of the Son of Man, and so we cannot speculate. God knows, we don't know. We do not know the time. We can discern the scene around us and perhaps have a greater sense of anticipation than generations past have had. But the reality is that only God knows.
And while we do not know the time of the end, we must say that it could be any time near. We are not given the time of the end in Scripture, but we are given a description of the events. And the unfolding of the wrath of God in the end of human history and the establishing of the Kingdom of Christ is described for us in amazing detail in the book of Revelation. There are some indications of it given in Ezekiel. There are some indications of it given in Daniel. There are other indications of it given particularly in the book of Zechariah. There are some references to it in Matthew and Luke. But the great portion of Scripture that focuses in on the events of the end of human history is the book of Revelation. And the unfolding of the final scene is recorded from chapter 6 on.
Now chapter 4 and chapter 5 then set the stage for God coming in final judgment to take back the fallen universe and to set His King upon His holy hill in Zion to reign over the world. The unfolding of that final revelation is just before us in this book as we now come to the last look at chapter 5. Now you remember that John in chapter 4 was taken up into heaven by way of a vision. And he saw the throne of Almighty God as He readied Himself for judgment, that was the basic scene of chapter 4. And now in the same setting, heaven, the throne of God, we see the Lamb coming to enact the judgment and be the person who takes over the universe. So in chapter 4 the focus is on God who sits on the throne. In chapter 5 the focus is on the Lamb who comes to the throne and takes the scroll out of the hand of God which is the title deed to the universe and then begins in chapter 6 to unroll that scroll, and that includes a series of judgments by which He takes back the universe.
In chapter 5 verse 1 we read, "And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll, written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals." There is the seven-sealed scroll that is the title deed to the universe. It was rolled a little bit and then sealed, rolled a little more and sealed, rolled a little more and sealed, sealed along the edges so that it couldn't be opened without breaking the seals and no one could do that except one who was authorized. The great text inside the scroll laid out all the details of the taking back of the universe, but on the outside was written what the scroll was about. And that was typical of ancient scrolls that were documents involving title. The inside had all the details, the outside had a summary.
And the Father holds the scroll in His hand as much as to say, "Who will take the scroll now on My behalf and enact what is written in it and take back what is rightfully Mine?" And that leads us to the first major point in the chapter, the search for the worthy One. Verse 2 says, "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, `Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?'" Who is fit to do this? "And no one in heaven...verse 3...or on the earth, or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it." No one had the ability, and no one had the worthiness. In order to open the scroll and enact its contents you had to be worthy to do that. That is you had to be the perfect heir of God. In order to open the scroll and to enact its contents you had to be able to do it. And so you had to have the power of God. Who then is the perfection of God and the power of God? Who is it that can do this? No one in heaven, no one on earth, no one under the earth. And so in verse 4 John says, "And I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it." And John was weeping because he wondered if this meant that the earth would continue to be in the power of the prince of the air dominated by demon forces, and he wondered whether Jesus Christ was ever to be exalted and whether the Kingdom promised to Israel was ever to come and whether the reigning promise to the saints was ever to take place and all of those things. And so in the sorrow of the experience in this vision, he began to weep greatly.
And then we find in verse 5 the second point, from the search for the worthy One we come to the selection of the worthy One, verse 5 says, "And one of the elders said to me, `Stop weeping...there's no need for this...behold the lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the root of David," and both of those I noted for you last time are titles of the Messiah given in the Old Testament, the One who is the lion, great power and fierceness, who comes out of the messianic tribe of Judah, the One who is the root or the offshoot or the offspring of David, that is He has royal blood. He is the Messiah by virtue of coming through Judah's loins, He is the King by virtue of coming through David's loins, the One who is fit to be King by authority and He is fit to be King by ability and He is fit to be King by worthiness has overcome. We noted that that has reference to His cross where He overcame death and He overcame Satan and He overcame demons and He overcame sin and He overcame hell. He has overcome so as to be able and worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals. Stop weeping. The Messiah will do it.
Verse 6 says, "And I saw between the throne, or in the midst of the throne, with the four living creatures," those four amazing cherubim, angels, and the elders who were all mingled there on...remember the elders were on twenty-four thrones and the four living creatures, living beings, cherubim, angels, all mingling with the glory of God who was flashing out His glory in brilliant red and diamond light, bouncing, refracting off the crystal pavement beneath the throne and shining all through an emerald rainbow and flashings of lightning and thunder were coming from the throne as well, all of that along with the songs of praise, the anthems of praise that were swinging, as it were, around Him in both melody as well as the sayings of the angels. All of that great throne, all of that conflux of beings and movement as described so magnificently by Ezekiel as wheels within wheels, flashing and shining, it says in the middle of all of that, verse 6, a lamb was standing.
John, no doubt, when he looked expected to see a lion but instead he saw a Lamb. This Lamb was not down, it was not dead, it was standing. It meant that it was alive. It was standing but it was as if it had been slain. It still bore the wounds of death. So here was a Lamb alive that had once been dead. "Seven horns" speak of perfect power, the horn of an animal being the emblem of its power, seven the number of perfection. "Seven eyes," having to do with perfect knowledge, perfect wisdom, perfect insight, perfect ability to see and assess and understand. And those seven eyes really are the seven-fold Spirit of God sent out into all the earth to see what needs to be seen. Here comes the Lamb, the Lamb is worthy. The Lamb has conquered. The Lamb has been slain, being the sacrifice for sin. The Lamb is now alive. The Lamb has full power. The Lamb has full understanding. And verse 7, "He came and He took out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne the little scroll." That moment is the most significant moment yet in human history...the moment when Jesus Christ takes the little scroll and begins to inaugurate the recovery of the lost universe, lost to sin, Satan, death and hell. And when He takes the scroll it is for the purpose of unrolling it. And as He unrolls it and breaks the seals, chapter 6 begins to unfold the judgments. But before we come to chapter 6, at this very moment in John's vision, as he is catapulted far ahead of his own time to see the scene that is yet to come, before the Lord Jesus takes the scroll and unrolls it, there is one other thing here that we must note and that is the song of the worthy One.
All the beings in the universe break out in praise. Verse 8 says, "And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures," that is the cherubim, the four living beings, "and the twenty-four elders," you remember they represent the redeemed and raptured church, "fell down before the Lamb, they fell down in worship." This is the moment for which all of heaven and redeemed earth has been waiting. Now as we come in to this song of worship, this time of praise, we begin to notice some marvelous things. And I wish we had time to just literally exhaust all of it but stay with me and we'll move rapidly and say what time allows us to say. When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders, again they represent the church so the symbolically they are the raptured church, fell down before the Lamb. They fall down in worship. Now notice, "Having each one a harp and golden bowls full of incense which are the prayers of the saints."
In the text here I would prefer to take the phrase "having each one a harp" to refer directly to the twenty-four elders. It is in my mind the preferred interpretation because of the structure of the sentence in terms of its grammar. It is possible that it could also reach back and encompass the four living beings, but it would seem to me to be the best understanding of the intent of the inspired writer that the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp. The Greek grammar and layout seems to indicate that.
So here you have these representatives of the redeemed and raptured church, each having a harp. Now the harp, if you go back into the Old Testament and we'll do that just briefly because you can look up the harp yourself in a concordance and trace it, but in 1 Chronicles 25 verse 6 we have instruction in this chapter about offering songs to the Lord. It talks about the service of the sons of Asaph in verse 1 and of Heman and of Jeduthun who were to prophesy with lyres and harps and symbols. And then it goes on to list all of them and there were many of them. And down in verse 6 it says, "All these were under the direction of their father to sing in the house of the Lord with cymbals, harps and lyre," a lyre would be a stringed instrument, shaped differently than a harp. "They were to do this for the service of the house of God. And they themselves were under the direction of the king. And their number who were trained in singing to the Lord with their relatives, all who were skillful, was two hundred and eighty-eight." So you had a rather massive choir, a large choir, and you had instrumentalists accompanying them on harps and lyres and cymbals. If you go through Psalm...the Psalms you read in Psalm 33 and Psalm 71 and Psalm 92 and Psalm 98 and Psalm 147, 149, Psalm 150, you read about harps as a part of worship. And they indeed even show up in the book of Revelation. Chapter 14 and verse 2, "I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of loud thunder and the voice which I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps." Chapter 15 verse 2, "I saw, as it were, a sea of glass mixed with fire and those who would come off victorious from the beast and from his image and from the number of his name standing on the sea of glass holding harps of God. And they sang the song of Moses." There you have harpists. They are believers, they are people who have been redeemed and they are playing the harp and singing the song of deliverance.
Now here then in this oratorio of escalating praise that began back in chapter 4, first of all we saw the praise start in verse 8 and there were two movements of praise in this oratorio in chapter 4, there are three in chapter 5. But we see here added to what is already been going on the quartet of cherubim in their praise, the twenty-four elders making a total of twenty-eight, and now we find added to the twenty-eight--instruments, harps. And this note needs to be made also, follow very carefully because I think this gives insight into why they're used and to what they mean. I think the symbolism here is very important. The twenty-four elders have harps...what is the intent of that? Listen carefully, the harp or the lyre, another kind of stringed instrument, is regularly in Scripture associated with prophesying. It is regularly associated with prophesying. For example in 1 Samuel 10:5 the prophet Samuel said to Saul, "And it shall come to pass when thou art come thither to the city that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high places with a psaltery and a harp before them and they shall prophesy and the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee and thou shall prophesy with them and shalt be turned into another man." So the prophets will come and they will come with harps and harps are then associated with their prophecy.
Again in 2 Kings 3 the Spirit of prophecy was not upon Elisha. As he stood before the two kings Elisha said in 2 Kings 3:15, "But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass when the minstrel played upon his harp that the hand of the Lord came upon him and he said, `Thus saith the Lord...'" How interesting.
In other words, Elisha did not have the Spirit of prophecy until someone came and began to pluck the harp and then the Spirit of prophecy came upon him, the Spirit of the Lord, and he began to speak. Somehow God ordained that in the sounding of those notes and in the plucking of those strings and in the making of melody, His Spirit would move. In 1 Chronicles 25:1, "David separated unto the service Asaph and Heman...as I noted...and Jeduthun who would prophesy with harps." The forty-ninth Psalm and verse 4 adds to this, "I will incline mine ear to a parable, I will open my dark saying upon the harp." How interesting. It is safe to say then, and I want you to follow this, it is safe to say that the harp not only was used for accompaniment in worship but it was used for the accompaniment of prophecy. The harp then somehow tied into prophecy. Here we see the harp. What is it there for? Not only to accompany worship, but to symbolize all of prophecy, to symbolize all the prophecy, all the revelation that God had given, promising and describing the great events about to take place. All the Scripture that had ever been given regarding the end, all the prophecies that had ever been made regarding the end, the future, the final return of Messiah, the building of the Kingdom, the judgment of the ungodly, all that Scripture had ever said about the end is symbolized with the harps, for they become the symbols not only of praise but of prophecy.
And so, there are the twenty-four elders plucking their harps in a symbolic indication that all that the prophets had ever said was about to come to pass. In addition to the harps, notice in verse 8 that the twenty-four elders were also holding golden bowls full of incense which are the prayers of the saints. Bowls, more like a saucer with a wide mouth, maybe more like what we would know as a cereal bowl, wide made of gold. These kind of utensils, by the way, were found in the tabernacle. They were found in the temple. These kind of golden bowls, according to Zechariah 14:20 were used at the altar. And so we conclude then that these golden bowls symbolized the priestly work of intercession for the people. They were symbols of the priestly function.
Notice, they were full of incense. Incense was burned to send a fragrance upward. The Old Testament priests burned incense because it symbolized prayer rising to God fragrantly. As the incense went up and the smoke carried the fragrance up, it symbolized the offering of fragrant prayers to God. Normally the priests would stand before the inner veil in the holy place before the Holy of Holies and they would offer incense before the presence of God so that it would be wafted into the Holy of Holies and there, as it were, to be swept into the very nostrils of God as a symbol of prayer rising for the people. In Psalm 141:2, for example, the psalmist writes, "May my prayer be counted as incense before you."
In Luke we get another good indication of this. Chapter 1 verse 8, "It came about while Zacharias who was the husband of Elizabeth, the father of John the Baptist, was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division, according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by Lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering."
That was the pattern. Whenever the priest went in to burn incense, the people prayed and the incense symbolized the prayers of the people. Now you see twenty-four elders holding golden bowls like the priest did, full of incense which are the prayers of the saints. Just as the harps represented the prophecies and the revelations and the Scriptures that predicted the coming of the end, follow this, the bowls and the incense represent the prayers of all the saints through all the ages that the promised redemption might come. It's a rich and magnificent scene.
Here then we have anticipation on the part of the redeemed and raptured elders. As they pluck their harps they are saying all that prophecy has ever indicated would come to pass is about to happen. As they, as it were, hold the bowls and the incense rises which is the prayers of the saints, they are saying all that the saints have ever prayed for in terms of the ultimate and final redemption is about to come to pass. And so both the prophetic promise of God and the prayers of the saints are indicated in the harps and the bowls.
There was a tremendous eagerness on the part of the saints in the past and there is today and there will be in the future that the Kingdom come. In fact, Jesus said when He taught us to pray, "Pray like this, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." And while there is a contemporary and immediate fulfillment to that kind of prayer in the spiritual sense, there is also an eschatological sense in which we are praying for the end and the final redemption and glory of God.
The prayers of the saints, by the way, become a major theme through the book of Revelation.
Look at chapter 6 verse 10 as an illustration. Here are some saints who have been slain. They have been martyred. And what are they doing? Verse 10 says, "They're crying with a loud voice saying, `How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?'" In other words, "Lord, how long are the wicked going to prosper and the saints be martyred? When are You going to come? When are You going to punish the wicked and exalt the righteous?"
Chapter 8 you find another illustration in verse 3, "Another angel came and stood at the altar, he had a golden censer," that is the same kind of golden bowl, "and incense was given to him that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne and the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saints went up before God out of the angel's hand. And the angel took the censer and he filled it with the fire of the altar and threw it to the earth and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake." And now the prayers are really being answered. He takes the incense of prayer, turns it and throws it back into the holocaust of judgment on the earth. The symbolism and imagery is magnificent and vivid.
So here are the redeemed. For sure the twenty-four elders holding harps and golden bowls, perhaps the angels do as well, although it's best to see them with the twenty-four elders. And the symbolism is simply this, that all that the church has ever promised through the Scriptures and all that we have ever prayed for is now about to come to pass. All the anticipation of holy writ, all that believing, hoping prayer, all that believers have cried for to deliver them from sin and disease and Satan and flesh and demons and the cursed universe, all that prayer that has gone up for centuries and centuries for God to act, for Christ to come is now in a consummate way lifted up in one final plea for the action to start. And all that the prophets have ever said about this moment is strummed in a final effort to play the tune that will lead to the final end. The harps and the bowls fit the context because verse 9 is the response to the promises and the prayers. "And they sang a new song." In other words, they knew it was going to happen. They knew it like they had never known it before. There was a brand new song, a brand new anticipation as the twenty-four elders bring before God what represents the desire of the saints. Their hope based on the promises and their prayers.
Now please notice, they sang a new song. I don't want to belabor every word but I can't get past "they." Who is it? Again it could possibly include the four living creatures but it also could be restricted to the twenty-four elders. You say, "Well now wait a minute, aren't the four living creatures involved in this oratorio?" Yes they are. "And can't it be said that they are also singing the song of redemption?" Yes in a general sense it can. "Certainly the four living creatures we found back in chapter 4 verse 8, didn't we, not ceasing to say, `Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty who was and who is and who is to come,' they started it all off. And there in verse 10 again, the twenty-four elders along with the four living creatures, or living beings, cherubim say, `Worthy art Thou, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor,' and so forth in that verse. Aren't they there?" Yes. "And aren't all of the angels included down in verse 11 of chapter 5?" Yes. "Many angels and many angels joining the oratorio in verse 12, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.' And then in verse 14 and there you have the four living cherubim beings who keep saying, `Amen.'" Yes the angels are there. Yes the cherubim are in the oratorio. Yes they're in the song of redemption. But, most interesting, this is the only use of the word "sing" in chapter 4 or 5. Every time it talks about the four living creatures or the rest of the angels it uses the word "say," not the word "sing."
Somebody suggested that only the twenty-four elders sing and the angels are in to rap. If they are, it will be a whole lot different than what we hear today.
But is the only use of the word "sing," which fascinates me. Every time the angels are spoken of as engaging in this oratorio of praise, it refers to them as "saying." Here, adosin(?) means to sing an ode from which we get an ode which is a song means a song. And the elders adosinode, they sang a song. Again I say it's fine to speak of all the angels enjoying this song of redemption, but specifically to speak of angels singing you have to...you'd have to include them then in the "they" of verse 9 and it's best to limit that to the twenty-four elders.
You say, "Well now wait a minute. Angels sing, we know that because the Bible says, `Hark the herald angels sing.'" Where is that verse? That's not a verse of the Bible, that's a song, that's a hymn, "Hark the herald angels sing." There's nothing in the Bible that says the angels sing.
And Job 38:7 says that at creation the morning stars sang together. That could be a reference to angels and it's very possible that they might have sung at creation. But never again does Scripture say angels sing. Some have suggested that maybe they did sing before creation and once the Fall came, they didn't sing anymore. And maybe they should be included here in verse 9 because now that the Fall is about to be reversed, they're ready to sing again. If you go back to Luke chapter 2 and remember the birth of Christ, you will remember that Scripture says this, "And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God and saying..." Always the redeemed sing. We can't say for sure that at creation when the morning stars sang together that it...it did mean the angels were singing or that their song was a song like our song. It may have been. We can't say specifically here that this excludes the angels. It's possible now that they have gotten their song back because they can see the reverse of the curse, but those would be the only two allusions in all of holy Scripture about angels singing. If the sing then it's before the Fall and in anticipation of the reverse of the Fall and not in the middle. The redeemed sing, God's blood washed, children sing. But angels don't sing in Scripture.
Dr. Criswell writes, "Music is made up of major chords and minor chords. The minor chords speak of the wretchedness, death and sorrow of the fallen creation. Most of nature moans and groans in a plaintive and minor key. The sound of the wind through the forest, the sound of the storm, the sound of the wind around the house is always in a minor key, it wails. The sound of the ocean moans in its restlessness, it is speechless trouble. Even the nightingale's song, the sweetest song of the birds is the saddest. Most of the sounds of nature are in a minor key, it reflects the wretchedness, the despair, the hurt, the agony, the travail of the fallen creation. But an angel knows nothing about that. An angel knows nothing of the wretchedness, nothing of the despair, nothing of the fall of the lost race. "The major key and the major chords are chords of triumph and victory. Surely God has taken us out of the miry clay, has taken us out of the horrible pit. He has set our feet upon the rock and He's put a new song in our souls, and new praises on our lips. But an angel knows nothing of this. An angel has never been redeemed. An angel has never been saved. An angel has never fallen and been brought back to God. That's the only reason that I find as to why angels never sing, it is God's people who sing. That's why the redeemed sing," he writes, "and the angels just speak about it. They see it, they watch it but they know nothing about it personally. It takes a lost and fallen man who has been brought back to God, who has been forgiven of his sin, who has been redeemed, it takes a saved soul to sing," end quote.
I think there's some truth in that. The Bible is filled with indications that the redeemed sing and no indications specifically that the angels sing. And so the twenty-four elders most likely sing this new song. It's a new day and it's a song of redemption, it's a song that they know personally because they have been redeemed. They are joined by the four living creatures, for sure. And in whatever way angels express themselves by saying or if they at this particular time learn how to sing as they once did, in either case they join them for this glorious, final thrust of music that finds its way all the way down to the end of the chapter.
It's a new song. Please note that. They sang a new song. I wish we had the time to go through the book of Psalms and see all the places it talks about new song, more places than new life, more than a new creation, new anything is new song. Because redemption brings a song. Psalm 33, Psalm 40, Psalm 96, Psalm 144, Psalm 149, and elsewhere. When God saves somebody, it brings a new song. And here is even a new new song as they anticipate the final, full, glorious redemption.
Chapter 14 and verse 3 again says, "They sang a new song before the throne and before the living beings and the elders. And no one could learn this song except 144 thousand who had been purchased from the earth." There's another new song from another new redeemed group. There was a new song for those redeemed in the Old Testament. There's a new song here for those redeemed in the church age. And there's a new song for those redeemed out of the Tribulation who are led by the 144 thousand. They're just new songs of redemption popping up through redemptive history. And I believe this is primarily the song of the redeemed represented by the elders but it's joined by the angels.
Isaiah 42, by the way, seems to be talking about that same song. Isaiah 42:9 through 13, I just need to read it, we're not getting too far too fast here, but you need to see this. Isaiah 42:9, "Now behold, the former things have come to pass. Now I declare new things. Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing His praise from the end of the earth. You who go down to the sea and all that is in it, you islands and those that dwell on them, let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voices, the settlements where Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing aloud. Let them shout for joy from the tops of the mountains. Let them give glory to the Lord and declare His praise and the coastlands. The Lord will go forth like a warrior and He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies." And this seems to be at the very time when Messiah comes in judgment. So that is maybe even a part of this song...the apocalyptic coming of the Lord to take over and to conquer, to redeem the universe and the final redemption of man for the Kingdom becomes the theme of the new song.
The song says this, and I...I know you know these words, "Worthy art Thou to take the book, or the scroll, and to break its seals, for Thou wast slain and didst purchase for God with Thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation."
Worthy art Thou to take the scroll. Who is worthy? The Lamb who is the Lion who is the root of David, who is the Lord Jesus Christ. You are worthy. You have the right. You have the inherent right because You are God. You have the earned right because You have overcome the enemy. You have the power. You are God's heir. You are God's right arm. And so You have the worthiness to take the scroll and break its seals. That means to enact what is written in it by way of judgment to take back the universe. It's as if the world is captive to Satan and Christ reveals step by step by breaking the seals the battle plan by which He conquers the universe and banishes Satan.
Why is He worthy? "For Thou wast slain and didst purchase for God with Thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation." You see, whoever was going to be the King of the earth, whoever was going to be the monarch of the universe, whoever was going to be the heir of God had to be slain. The law required the slaying of a perfect, blameless, spotless lamb and it was Him. Back in verse 6 He was the Lamb standing who had been slaughtered. It was the sacrificial substitutionary death of Jesus Christ as a lamb on the cross of Calvary that made Him worthy to take the scroll. Why? Because in that death He redeemed sinners. Look at it, "And did purchase for God with Thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation."
You have a right to redeem Your own, You bought them. You have a right to redeem the universe, You made it. You purchased for God with Your blood, agorazo, to buy out of the marketplace. You paid the full price. The background of this rich imagery is the buying of slaves from the marketplace and setting them free. Someone who is philanthropic would go into the marketplace and spend a fortune buying slaves that were there and then just turning them free. At the cross the Lord Jesus paid the price to buy the slaves of sin with His own blood from every tribe and tongue and people and nation and set them free. He bought them from the slavery of sin and redeemed them to become saints to God for His service and for His worship. He redeemed them from sin and death and hell and Satan and demons to make them saints to God who share God's glory. And the price...His life. You were slaughtered, You were slaughtered.
I have to add another note here. Some translations include in verse 9 the word "us." "Worthy art Thou to take the book, or the scroll, and to break its seals for Thou wast slain and did purchase us." Us. Redeemed us to God by Your blood, says, for example, The New King James Version. There is strong manuscript evidence in the ancient manuscripts for including the word "us." The majority of manuscripts, both early manuscripts and late manuscripts, include "us." And it makes sense in the context since back in verses 5 and 6 it is the elders who are singing the song. I think it is their song. It is the song of the redeemed. As I said, the angels may be in the background joining in somehow, but the ones with the harps and the ones with the bowls and the ones who sing the new song of redemption are the elders. And it's appropriate then to include from the context standpoint "us" because they're saying "You purchased us, You redeemed us to God by Your blood."
If that indeed is the case and if the majority of manuscripts are right, even though the New American Standard doesn't include it, if the rest are right, it strengthens the idea that the twenty-four elders indeed represent the raptured church and that, of course, would strengthen a pretribulational Rapture. Angels have never experienced redemption so the angels can't sing, "You've redeemed us." The extent of the redemption then is given, verse 9, "From every tribe and tongue and people and nation." And I think all that's trying to say is from everywhere...from everywhere. And the Greek is ek, means "out of." You have redeemed us out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation. Out from within, all of these different groups the redeemed have come.
Jesus Christ shed His blood for the whole world. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." The assumption is if He loved the world and gave His Son, He gave His Son for the world He loved...which means the sacrifice of Christ was sufficient for the whole world. fSome out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation. This isn't a universalist statement that He has redeemed every tribe and tongue and people and nation, no. "Out from" everyone.
These four terms, "every tribe and tongue and people and nation," occur five times in Revelation. And they always refer to all of humanity, just a general sense of all of humanity. Out from all of humanity God through Christ has redeemed souls. Tribe indicates the same descent. Tongue indicates the same language. People indicates the same race. And nation indicates the same culture. So people from every descent and every language and every race and every culture have been redeemed. From out of every lineage and out of every language and out of every race and out of every culture the Lord has redeemed us.
Now can you imagine what this meant to John? You understand that when John gets this revelation, he's on the isle of Patmos, the church is a little over fifty years old, the church has been battered and abused and slaughtered. His friends, the apostles, have died as martyrs, he is in exile. He might well conclude that things were disastrous. He has just received seven letters, five of which indicated the churches that were the primary churches in the development and expansion of Christianity had defected from the faith. And it might well have been in his mind, a reality that the way this deal is going, by the time we get to the end there won't be any redeemed people. I mean, there were those euphoric days at Pentecost when three thousand were saved and five thousand were added and the church exploded and filled Jerusalem with its doctrine. And there were those wonderful days of the Apostle Paul planting churches. And then there was the end of the life of Paul and near the end he said, "Everyone in Asia has turned away from me." And churches had lost their first love and compromised with the world and tolerated sin and become dead and nauseating.
Can you imagine the wonderful, thrilling exhilaration of John as he hears the twenty-four elders saying through this new song in melody and word that there will be a gathering together of redeemed people from every tribe and tongue and people and nation on the globe? And at this time, Christianity is just in a little place. What hope, what thrill, what joy must have entered his heart.
And then verse 10 adds the result of such redemption. "And Thou hast made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God and they will reign upon the earth." The word "them" is interesting to note...why not "us"? Well, I don't know. "Thou hast made us," maybe because that's a little too narrow. Now you've got to include more than just the twenty-four elders who are the saints of the church age, raptured and redeemed, you've got to include all of the Old Testament saints, all of the Tribulation saints. They will all be kings and priests to our God and reign upon the earth. And so he uses the third person because of the vastness of the final comprehensive redemption.
What is the goal and the outcome of this redemption? We have been made a kingdom and priests to our God. A kingdom and priests to our God. Something noted, by the way, in chapter 1 verse 6, and also in chapter 20 verse 6. We are a kingdom and priest. What is a kingdom? A community of saints under sovereign rule. He is our King. We're not part of a Kingdom, we are a Kingdom. We are royalty under the great King. We share His blood, as it were, we share His royalty. We are joint heirs. We're not part of a Kingdom, we are a Kingdom. In fact, He is a King and we're all kings and we all reign with Him.
Maybe the Corinthians got the message messed up, but they at least had it in a small capsule. First Corinthians 4:8, Paul sarcastically says, "You're already filled, you've already become rich, you have become kings without us. I would indeed you had become kings." He had probably told them the day's coming when we're going to be kings, we're going to be a kingdom of kings. And they thought they had already arrived. He sarcastically reminds them they hadn't. But they would. The end of chapter 3 verse 21 in Revelation, "All believers are granted to sit down with Me on My throne, we will be a kingdom of kings and we will reign over the earth." We will be royalty forever, reigning with our ruling Christ on the earth and reigning throughout eternity in the new heaven and the new earth.
And then he adds, "And priests to our God." We will be priests as well. That signifies complete access to God's presence. The priest had complete access to God's presence, for worship, for praise, for service. We will be royalty and we will be priesthood. We even now are priests. First Peter 2:5 and 9 tells us we are priests unto God. That's anticipatory of our future priesthood when we have total access, perfect communion with God. So we're redeemed and the twenty-four elders are singing a new song. And they're singing, "You're now worthy to take the book and to break its seals, You died, You were slaughtered and You paid the price and You purchased us with Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation. And You've gathered all the redeemed and You've made them to be a kingdom of kings and priests with eternal access and communion to God who will reign on the earth. This is the song of the twenty-four elders.
For the fourth time in the chapter John says he saw something. Verse 11, "And I looked and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living beings and the elders. And the number of them was myriads of myriads." That's a little hard to add. "And thousands of thousands." I looked, he had a vision in a vision, and I heard. And I heard the voice of many angels around the throne. And now the thing is beginning to crescendo. To the voices of the four living creatures saying what they were saying, are added the twenty-four elders, are added the harps, and now an innumerable number of angels surround the throne where God and the Lamb are present. And the number is beyond calculation. It says "myriads of myriads," that's murion in the Greek, murion times murion. It basically means ten thousand times ten thousand. You see, ten thousand was the largest Greek number that had a word for it. They didn't have words for million and so forth because they didn't count anything that went that high. And all they had was ten thousand as a word in their vocabulary. So when they wanted to talk about an innumerable number they said ten thousand times ten thousand, which I think makes a hundred million. And thousands and thousands plus however many.
By the way, murion in Luke 12:1 and in Hebrews 12:22 is translated "innumerable." They were uncountable. Millions of them. And they join the praise. Verse 12, now notice when the angels come in does it say they sang? What does it say? "They say with a loud voice," and this leads me to assume then that they're still not singing and maybe they never do. "Saying with a loud voice," God likes everything loud, have you noticed that? He likes everything loud. I hear people say, "Oh I don't like the music, it's too loud." Listen, sister, wait till you get to heaven. You ain't heard nothing yet until you hear millions of voices singing loud, you haven't any reason to complain.
Verse 12, "Saying with a loud voice," and this is an interesting thought, they can only echo the song of redemption. They can't initiate it, it's not their song. Back in chapter 4 they can say, "Holy, holy, holy," and they can say, "Worthy are You, our Lord, to receive glory and honor," they can glorify God. But they can't sing the song of redemption, they can't invent it, they can only echo it. "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."In Psalm 33:3 they sang loud. In Psalm 98:4 they were supposed to sing loud. And here they are loud. This time they're saying loudly in an angelic doxology, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain."
Please remind yourself again that the emphasis is on His death as a perfect redemption. And so He must be given worship and praise and adoration. He is worthy because He was slain to be given power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing. And I read that and I see, you know, this is one of those things that's such an unbelievable doxology, it almost defies exposition. You almost don't want to touch it. But for men and angels, He is worthy to receive all this praise. He is worthy to receive recognition because of His power, His omnipotence. He is worthy to receive recognition because of His riches, His spiritual wealth, His material wealth, He owns everything. He is worthy to receive praise because of His wisdom. He is omniscient, He made wisdom wisdom. He is worthy to receive recognition and praise because of His might or His strength, His reserve of power. In the Greek it's ischon(?). He is worthy to receive honor because of His holy character. He is worthy to receive glory or a recognition of His divine majesty and heavenly radiance. And He is worthy to receive blessing because of His absolute perfection.
You are to receive an accolade for Your power, an accolade for Your riches and Your wisdom and Your might and Your honor and Your glory and the tremendous blessing that flows from You. Those are seven qualities true of the Lamb and true of God. And they are intrinsic to the person of God and the person of the Lamb. He doesn't have to receive them, He is them. They aren't given to Him, they are Him. And all we can do is praise Him for what He is. All this greatness the Lamb possesses and He is worthy.
And so you have an innumerable number of angels, plus the living ones, the twenty-four elders. And then in verse 13 the whole creation joins. "And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea and all things in them." You read that somebody will inevitably say, "What does that include?" What does that include? Did you read that? It includes every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea and all things in them. Do you want me to explain that? Why would I explain an absolutely all inclusive statement? There's nothing left out. You'd better ask, "What doesn't that include?" And the answer is nothing. I mean, I'm sure it's...it's everything from angels and men to frogs and gophers. I say frogs because they're in the water and gophers because they're under the earth. Every...every...every being, the whole creation has been groaning, Romans 8 says, and now it explodes in praise. The whole created universe is now on the brink of its anticipated glory.
And the final fifth piece of this praise hymn to God and the Lamb is very brief. And they aren't singing, all these other beings say, because singing, as I said, belongs to the redeemed, "To Him who sits on the throne," that's God, "and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever." Endless blessing, endless honor, endless praise, endless glory, endless worship to God, to Christ. The whole universe chimes in. What a moment.
They're all so ecstatic because it's going to happen. The curse is reversed. And the Kingdom comes and God will reign. And those four cherubim constitute the amen corner. Verse 14, "And the four living creatures kept saying `Amen...Amen...Amen.' And the elders fell down and worshiped."
"Amen" is a solemn confirmation, it means "let it be...let it be...let it be...make it happen...make it happen." And they say it over and over and over and over. And the twenty-four elders make a fresh prostration in worship of God and the Lamb. And soon, in fact, very soon this great assembly will march out of heaven to execute judgment, to gather the elect, to return with Christ and set up His Kingdom. The stage is set.
Father, thank You for this wonderful study tonight, this great chapter. We are in awe of it. And we can only say with those cherubim, "Amen, amen, amen, amen," over and over we say it. Let it happen, let it happen, let it come. For we groan waiting for the glorious manifestation of the sons of God and all creation groans in travail until the time of its release from the curse. We know as we said at the very beginning that we could be near the end. We have no fear of that. We rejoice. We sing praise. We understand the glory and the joy. We understand the happiness of heaven in anticipation of the King coming. Father, may we live in that wonderful hope and may it spur us while we still have time to lead many in the direction of the Savior so they can join with us in that happy, blissful joy as we stand on the brink of heaven one day waiting as the King comes. In His dear name, His glorious name and His mighty name we pray. Amen.

Sen. vows to make Pledge of Allegiance voluntary
The battle over the Pledge of Allegiance is back in the Nebraska Legislature after an Omaha senator introduced a bill that would reverse a requirement imposed by the state board of education last year.
Currently, all public schools must set time each day to say the pledge, but Sen. Ernie Chambers said schools should not be required to say it every day.
"With all the talk about being against bullying, this creates the perfect situation to foster it because how a child behaves differently than others is marked odd child out," Chambers said.
The board of education unanimously voted to approve the pledge rule after the lawmakers killed a similar proposal to make it state law.
"When the executive branch is going to intrude into the legislative branch after the legislative branch has acted, that is totally unacceptable," Chambers said.
Sen. Jim Scheer of Norfolk disagreed. He was the president of the board of education at the time and now sits on the Legislature's education committee.
"Are you assuming that just because the Legislature didn't produce something, that should tie the hands of any other department?" Scheer said.
Some veterans groups oppose LB 540, saying the board is elected to decide what goes on in the classrooms and teaching American history and appreciation is part of that.
"Learning about something is not the same thing as pledging allegiance to it. Leading children into oath and pledges is indoctrination, not education," said David Moshman.
While opposing veterans groups vow they will fight the bill if it gets out of committee, Chambers said he is just as committed to seeing the pledge voluntary in districts, not mandatory.
The Legislatures' education committee will now decide whether to advance the bill out to the floor for full debate by lawmakers.

My studio, which is just a fancy name for my dining room, is in desperate need of a makeover. It will get one, hopefully soon while Jeff is on Christmas break, but I just wanted to share some pictures of my working environment. Can you imagine how much better it will soon look?!
Messy storage cabinet and old, dark wallpaper. Wallpaper will be stripped and cabinet will be painted.
Clothing rack with some ready-to-ship items.
Inspiration board made out of an antique frame and corkboard. It mostly has pictures of Aidan and Olivia on it. That's my late grandpa's cap hanging on the corner.
And, if you look closely, that's a picture of my great-great aunt Ollie holding me when I was a baby.
A very messy arrangement of letters.
My messy work area. MESSY.
Another shot of my messy work area. I will definitely be making new window treatments.
Perhaps out of these? Fun, fun, fun. A little pop of orange, green, turquoise?
The new paint colors for the trim and walls. It's going to be a huge improvement, I think.
I will keep you posted on the process!

Dare I say it?
Not sure it has happened or will ever happen. But with the men's basketball programs of Colorado and Colorado State climbing toward "bubble status" for a spot in the NCAA Tournament, fans of both programs should indeed be cheering every victory by the other school.
That's because RPI is one of the computer power-ranking data used by the NCAA Tournament selection committee. And a team's RPI is helped by strength of schedule.
So even though CSU lost in overtime at Boulder in December, the Rams' RPI was boosted when CU beat Missouri, Kansas State and Oklahoma State.
At the beginning of the week, Colorado State's RPI stood at No. 59, Colorado's at No. 71. CSU's current RPI may be a bit higher after the win at UNLV; CU's might have slipped a tad after the loss at Nebraska.
The NCAA Tournament was expanded to 68 teams this season. However, each of the 30 conferences receives an automatic spot, leaving just 38 at-large openings.
If CSU can defeat BYI on Saturday in Fort Collins and earn a subsequent victory over San Diego State it would really help the Rams. At the start of the week, SDSU was No. 2 in RPI (behind Kansas) and BYU was fourth.

Cocktails and Spirits with Paul Clarke: Mezcal's Steady Rise
As if any further proof was needed that mezcal is the white-hot spirit of the moment, this week the New York Times featured one of Eric Asimov's tasting panels, which explored the variety of characters and flavors this long-ignored Mexican spirit has to offer.
Following another story in the New York Times last year, I wrote about mezcal as this close relative of tequila was well into its sudden ascent. Since that story appeared, a number of new brands have entered the U.S. market, and artisan preparations of this spirit—once déclassé and was synonymous with scorpions in the bottle and over-amplified hangovers—have become heavily in-demand in upscale bars across the country.
But as more people seek out this distinctive spirit, many will have to recalibrate their idea of what makes a liquor great.
Asimov writes:
By tradition the standard [for greatness] is set by whiskeys and brandies, which are celebrated for their refinement, mellow complexity and delicacy.
But mezcal, even more so than its sibling tequila, takes greatness out of the library and into raw nature, where jagged, elemental yet ethereal aromas and flavors offer different sorts of thrills from the quieter pleasures of a fine single malt, yet without losing subtlety or complexity.
The Times tasting panel worked through 20 varieties of mezcal, and, as befits a spirit in which some of the most appealing characteristics are found in its rusticity, almost all of the mezcals that took the panel's top marks were unaged, their elaborate, vegetal smokiness unmitigated by the softening effects of an oak barrel. Not surprisingly, three mezcals from Del Maguey (formed by artist Ron Cooper, who perhaps more than anyone else deserves recognition as the evangelist of artisan mezcal) wound up on the top-ten list (including the top two spots); other brands selected by the panel included a reposado from Los Amantes (the only aged mezcal on the list, and one of my personal favorites), along with relative newcomers such as the earthy, peppery Ilegal joven mezcal, and the intensely vegetal Sombra mezcal.
As Asimov notes, mezcal's limited production and higher prices (most of Del Maguey's mezcals fetch more than $70 a bottle)—not to mention the spirit's assertive character, which fits into the category of "acquired tastes"—will likely keep this rugged spirit from becoming a widespread, mainstream phenomenon. But for a drinking public that's increasingly turning to big flavors and small-scale spirits that are richly evocative of their origins, mezcal will likely be the drink in demand for some time to come.
These are a few of the brands the Times panel noted as worthwhile. Are you a fan of mezcal? What brands and varieties would you recommend?

Dear Galaxy 4, thankyou so much for making my Christmas perfect. The "Doctor Who-remote controlled Dalek battle pack" arrived in Greece safely today which was double quick for this time of year! What a wonderful, professional service you offer your customers, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Once again thankyou and have a Merry Christmas. Regards, David.
I have been extremely impressed with the service from this store. Very fast delivery and prompt replies to questions. Full marks, Galaxy 4!
I got my Remote Controlled Talking Davros today, everthing appears fine! I still love this site very much.
It appears that THE DAVROS voice command button, only lets you press it 2 times for 2 voice command sentences...How come they never included more sentences?
Why doesn't he say...Exterminate, exterminate?
Galaxy 4 replies:
Because Davros didn't really say those words- he left it to his Daleks to do the exterminating for him.
fantastic shop fantastic service fantastic products and fantastic guys thanx for the extra long scarf guys!
as a new dr who viewer I really wanted to watch the doctor who movie starring paul mcgann. the next day it arrived i was very impressed of how quickly it arrived
As a Canadian, I truly want to say how I really love this site! Futhermore...This is the best Doctor Who site I've seen to date.
I really think your site really rocks! I really love THE DALEKS, The new 2005 Remote controlled Dalek, & the new RADIO COMMAND ones to...Great service!
I think that the ninth Doctor was the best and I think that the tenth doctor has alot of compertion. I also think davros should come back with a fleet of surviving Daleks to try and finish what they started
Hi . I've had two orders so far with galaxy 4 for old Doctor Who magazines and I've been very impressed with the quick service. Well done. Look forward to buying from you again.
Dear Sirs
May I say how delighted I was this morning, when I received my order which
consisted of the Cybermen Diorama and Cyberman Tin Set.
I have found the ordering process, service and delivery to be absolutely
superb, and I shall have no hesitation in ordering from you in the very near
I'll be mentioning your name to some of my friends who are also Dr Who mad.
Well done!
Best regards
you are much better than bbc shop you have a great website. you are the best merchants i have bought things off.
£70 for the series boxset ! wow ! I'd better start saving and only if they change the blurb ! This release is not the entire first series , it must be something like series 27 . Any fule know that . ( nice website by the way )
Galaxy 4 replies:
Point taken. I think I'd have preferred it to be called the Complete 2005 series.
I think the new 2005 series is pretty good. However, of all of the Doctor's companions, I really thought that Rose Tyler, kind of handled this alien new comer...@ least to her fairly quickly. She did have questions etc, but for the most part she handled her situation well!
I didn't much like some of the monsters in the 2nd episode. The story-line was good thought...& the Earth's Death was cool! & the Spiders were too! & so far..I liked EPISODES: 1. 3. & 4..& the 6th..With THE DALEKS looks very exciting!
I don't mind David Tennant regenerating into the 10th Doctor, but they should have shown the 8th Paul McGann, changing with the 9th! Also its just too soon 2 get rid of Mr. Eccleston's incarnation!
I wonder if I'm related to this David Tennant. I too have a Scottish & Irish background...I think its great we have the same last name Mark Tennant...David Tennant..Cool!!!!!!!!!

To say Kenneth Grant is a controversial figure in occultism is to push the boundaries of understatement to absurd new levels. There are many who call the man an outright fraud, many more who claim he was certifiably insane and still others who to this day will tell you that Grant's work is irresponsible and dangerous. For all that Grant has many admirers and followers who covet his hard to find works which are routinely sold for hundreds of dollars on websites like Amazon. I was lucky enough to attend grad school in a town with a magnificent public library which was able to procure a copy of his Outer Gateways for me read.
I've posted fragments of this book before but as with all things Scribd the material was eventually removed. There is now another download available and the Grant material is far to rare for me to pass up posting it for readers when I can. In my original posting I neglected an important detail. I believe this is the first serious occult book that made the claim that horror writer H.P. Lovecraft was unconsciously channeling information from "The Primal Grimoire" which exists in the astral. In other words The Necronomicon is in fact in existence and accessible via ritual or altered states of consciousness. Donald Tyson has made use of this theory recently in his Necronomicon series which I honestly haven't read though I did purchase his Necronomicon Tarot because I'm a collector of odd things.
The "Primal Grimoire" stuff is in the first chapter and is an interesting meditation on reality if nothing else. The rest of the book, if I may quote an anonymous Internet reviewer, reads like a mathematics textbook though I'd add one without any numbers or formula you could easily use. As is usual with Scribd this is only roughly half of the book but it's free so who can complain?

Customer Quotes
Phil Sanders, Project Manager, Contra Costa Electric
"When I first began using ProSoft communication modules, I called the ProSoft Technology Tech Support for help with my configuration of a 3150 module for the SLC. The ProSoft Technology support engineer asked me to come by the office and said he would help me to get started. After an hour of intense training and configuration help I was ready to go back to my application and my installation job was so much easier. What other vendor offers that kind of support? After I recognized the value of such a services I became a regular ProSoft customer."
Terry Davis, President of Meter Maintenance and Controls, Inc., a turnkey system integration company
"I've been using ProSoft products for years…possibly since we first started as a company so it was a no brainer. Now we use the gateway in all the plants."
Dave Swalwell, Senior Systems Engineer of Laing Limited, a system integration company in the U.K
"Our clients have repeatedly asked for Modbus, Modbus Plus and PROFIBUS connections, hence the ProLinx modules are an ideal interface,"
Fernando Dorgan, ISI Solutions
"We recommended the use of a Rockwell platform early on as we wanted to add a highly functional backplane and flow computer. The challenges were significant. Camisea's pipelines needed flow management control with a solution that could fit the Allen-Bradley backplane. What really made the Rockwell platform functional for Camisea was ProSoft Technology's involvement in solving Camisea's flow computer needs with their in-rack AFC Module."
George Vriese of R&W Engineering
"I had been aware of the ProSoft Modbus module for some time and knew it would do the job we needed."
Arne Sigfredsen of Automatic Syd,, regarding a milling project in Egypt
"With the ProSoft module, one miller can easily monitor the entire plant and, in case of emergencies, temporarily take over control until another miller has reached the specific machine to solve the problem. This is a cost effective savings, since it takes fewer personnel and you get a lot of information such as alarms, stock levels, motor loads, etc. from the plant."
Francisco Carlos Campana Aragon, Senior Equipment Engineer for Petrobras
"Thanks to the interaction between ProSoft's MVI46-AFC and the SLC processor, we could implement an automated system for calculation and presentation of results totally compatible with the level of automation used in our plant. The test system for each extraction plant was only possible totally automatically without volume loss because of the ProSoft flow computers and the PLC and SLC processors. If we had chosen the old solutions using EMEDs (dedicated flow computers) the costs would have been much greater. The ProSoft modules are a success story for us. The integration between the MVI46-AFC and the 2100-AGA flow computers along with the flexibility of the SLC and PLC processors were the decisive factor in that success."
Francois Ruel, Automation Project Manager for Cascades, Inc.
"By making use of the data collected by the Data Historian on one machine in one mill, we were able to save $20,000 on energy costs in one month alone."
John Stephenson, Project Manager for Systems Interface at a wastewater project in Seattle
"ProSoft's Modbus Communication Modules function independent of the PLC, sharing the task of communications and allowing the processor module to concentrate on control and data functions."
Alex Xu, Manager for Shanghai Yuandong Science & Technology Ltd., a System Integrator
"The 3100-MCM module played an important role in the second phase of this project. Without the ProSoft module, this phase could not have been realized."
Roman Fila, Autel, a system integrator
"Installation of the MVI94-MCM module proved not only to be the most technically feasible,
Elian Jessen from HV-Turbo in Denmark said of the Jerusalem Wastewater Treatment Plant
"Since this project was completed we have ordered 25 similar modules for connecting some of our other specially sedisned control panels to our customer's main panels in six refinery plants in India, with great success using our own multipurpose software for the MCM."
Brian Daugherty, Limitorque.
"The Limitorque communication module allows Hess to obtain the desired diagnostic data
David Watts, System Integrator and Owner DWC Technology
"When I arrived in Iraq to network the new state-of-the-art Nasiriyah Water Treatment Plant, I discovered a mix of Allen-Bradley and Schneider Electric controls. The problem was getting the Quantum PLC to communicate with the Controllogix. I had never used a ProSoft Technology interface module before. And, of course, there were no manuals or cables on location to help me with this so I called ProSoft Tech Support who helped get me up and running in no time."
Danny Burns, Operations Manager for Prousys, Inc. the System Integrator
"The new system now gives the water district full control of all remote sites. The SCADA system can now track station flow rates, overflow events, well level, in-flow and out-flow. They also have the capability to detect numerous system failures including power, high/low voltage, phase imbalance, high/low amperes, frequency, load factor and low water level. Since the ProSoft modules communicate over the backplane with the Allen-Bradley processors, they were critical to the success of this project. ProSoft provided the 'missing link' in the communication chain, seamlessly allowing connectivity between these differing networks."
Tao Weifeng, Chief Engineer, Xin Ning Water Development
"The control system was developed by Rockwell Automation GTS, so the first solution they gave us was ProSoft's 3100-MCM. We think this is a good solution. The connection between the ProSoft module and RA PLC products is very easy and programming is simple."
Quotes about our Schneider Electric Solutions
Dan Galyas, Executive Product Application Engineer, Schneider Electric
"My ProSoft experience was delightful. ProSoft's DeviceNet module is so much easier to use than other vendors' modules I have used, and ProSoft's module works with Unity Pro. Plus, the ProSoft User Manual is excellent and made working with this module a pleasure."
Joe Coccimiglio, AVAD Industrial
"This solution has improved every aspect of the plant…functionality, speed and convenience. We recently finished converting three neighboring plants to this solution, standardizing the facilities and making the solution a very important part of the Canadian hydro electricity market."
Joe Coccimiglio, AVAD Industrial
"The ProTalk Q-DNP module was the only in-rack solution available. It was this type of quality solution, provided by ProSoft, which helped eliminate the need for a third-party "black box" converter, thus eliminating a potential point of failure. It also allowed AVAD to provide local service and support for all of the equipment."
Quotes about our Industrial Wireless Solutions
Chris Deakin of Boss Automation, regarding CANO Petroleum's Cockrell Ranch Waterflood project
"The process is incredibly reliable, consistent and makes for an essentially self-managed site. From the main SCADA monitoring station, the operators are able to see virtual diagrams of the wells and what is going on within them, as well as all the data collected by the RTUs and control units. The wireless network works so seamlessly and reliably that it is virtually transparent to the user. When all was said and done I asked the customer how they liked the wireless network. Their response: what wireless network?"
Jouni Aarnu, Application Sales and Key Account Manager, Wood and BioEnergy, at Schneider Electric Finland
"When we started the water/wastewater treatment plant retrofit, we had no one locally with any specific RF expertise. We provided ProSoft Technology Technical Support Engineers with the basic engineering and layout of the network, then they supplied us with the recommended lists of accessories for each radio location. The wireless network implementation was an easy job for us and our integrator. We learned from this first project with ProSoft Technology."
Robert Dunlop, Sr. Electrical and Automation Project Engineer, Andritz Inc
"I use ProSoft's radios all the time for this type of application. The main advantage of using high speed Ethernet radio systems is that they help the cranes avoid collisions on both the network and on the track. Plus, operating wirelessly creates a significant cost savings ($10,000 for materials alone) by eliminating additional communication bus bars and festooning cables."
Todd Loggins of the Clinton Utilities board
"We are pleased with ProSoft Technology's wireless equipment. Instead of having to install separate networks, we have been able to build a single wireless network to meet the needs of our Ethernet equipment, as well as our serial equipment."
Mike Gottwald, Corporate Engineer for RiverStone Group Inc. a subsidiary of Central Stone
"I wanted to use wireless because wire is such a big headache. I started with consumer-grade radios, which were a disaster. The classifying plant is on the other side of a major highway and the consumer radios would shut off when a plane flew by. We had several industrial radio companies look at this application. Some told us it couldn't be done. Others told us we would need expensive repeaters. ProSoft Technology came along and simply did it. ProSoft's RadioLinx modems are by far the most robust radios I have ever found. RadioLinx is a complete wireless Ethernet package. For this application it was just plug and play."
Gene Johnson, project manager for the wireless automation project for ThyssenKrupp Waupaca
"We were impressed with the ease of setting up the wireless Ethernet radios using the provided software that gave us the signal strength information for the best mounting location."
Bob Petrie, Throughput Technologies
"The fact that the transmission mode is Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum is important. There are many other radio-based systems in these plants and it is reassuring to know that interference from other applications will not affect the performance of the system that we supplied."
Wolfhard Scherping, Pericom, regarding a wireless water/wastewater project in Bonn, Germany.
"Why change this system? ISDN has small bandwidth, poor availability and monthly costs. RadioLinx will allow us to transmit live video, save recurring costs for lease lines and reduce the number of false alarms due to problems with the ISDN connection."
Mike Gottwald, Electrical Engineer, RiverStone Quarry Group
"I wanted to use wireless because wire is such a big headache. We tried consumer radios. They were a disaster. They shut off when a plane flew by. We had several industrial radio companies look at this application. Some told us it couldn't be done. ProSoft came along and simply did it. ProSoft's RadioLinx modems are by far the most robust radios I have ever found. RadioLinx is a complete wireless Ethernet package."
Josep Manuel Fernandez, Asset Management supervisor in Barcelona, Spain
"GMS Asset Management in Spain proposed the new ProSoft-RadioLinx wireless solution that met all the customer requirements, and is easy to configure using RadioLinx configuration software thereby allowing checking the radio power. The wireless connection is totally transparent to RSLinx. This success could also be booked thanks to our Encompass program that helps us to offer our customer the right product and solution with full connectivity to Rockwell Automation architectures."
Joe DiFerdinando, the Electrical Engineer with Granger Electric
"Because the plants are so spread out, we opted to use wireless at those points to save on installation. We just needed to find a product that is robust and easy to implement. ProSoft Technology's water/dust-tight 802.11abg radios were selected. PoE allowed us to plug the radios right into our PACs, plus the casing allows them to be mounted outside without weather concerns. The radios are great. They saved us on installation and simplified implementation. I would recommend them to anyone, and my ProSoft sales representative was incredibly helpful, involved in the process, and knowledgeable on the technology and application. He deserves kudos."
Industrial IT Department Manager at Central Technical Department
"To collect process data from the pump stations, cabling solution was not ideal option for the site of St Médard en Jalles, so we considered wireless as an option. The RadioLinx Frequency Hopping radios quickly revealed themselves to be the solution."
Mike Mullins, the Press Maintenance Team Leader, Gestamp Automoción, a tier one Spanish-based automotive supplier
"The RG-6 coaxial cable we were using to network our transfer presses cost between $9400 and $9500 to replace and that's not including the cost of the system shutdown every couple of months to replace the cable. But we've got a unique application here, involving large moving hunks of steel and wireless did not seem to be an option. What we needed was a radio that could communicate through a ten inch thick plate of steel. As it turned out, our initial concerns that the steel would impede the radio performance were unfounded. When the bolsters interfere with line-of-sight, the radios continuously try to read through the bolsters. The radios work better than expected. We've been very happy with them."

We want to build brand recognition and consumer trust in our clinics and product lines. We are developing consumer FRIENDLY health and wellness - what a CONCEPT! So much to do if we choose your design!
Anti-aging is an emerging market with rapid growth, but still unknown to many consumers. We target men and women interested in optimizing their health and vitality - often ranging in age from 40s - 60s, typically well-educated, very discerning, and with substantial disposable income. We want to draw people in and make seeing a doctor or shopping for vitamins FUN and appealing!! We want to build brand recognition and consumer trust in our clinics and product lines.
Interpret the hourglass shape into your logo. It must appeal to men and women, be fashion forward and high-end, but still appropriate for a medical company, and the design must be easily expanded and translated into package design - i.e. by turning your logo into a pattern or background. We are looking for strong color and design -- but nothing overly detailed or cluttered. Shades of teal with undetermined accent colors (cream and brown, or gray and navy?). The font should not be in caps, not too boxy, and not in script. Thanks SO much for your creative input!! -- Dr. Power

honda jazz Expert Review
After discontinuing the Jazz in 2013, Honda reintroduced its premium hatchback in 2015. And this time, the third generation Jazz is offered with 1.5-litre diesel engine along with 1.2-litre petrol mill. What you'll like in new Honda Jazz is the spacious boot space of 354-litres, magic seats that folds in different ways, paddle shifters for CVT and improved drivability. What you won't like is the noisy diesel engine, and exclusion of key features like keyless entry, rear ac vents and driver armrest. The Honda Jazz is made available in five grades E, S, SV, V and VX with six eye catching colors- Carnelian Red Pearl, Urban Titanium Metallic, Alabaster Silver Metallic, Taffeta White, Golden Brown Metallic And White Orchid Pearl. MyNewCar's recommended variant is SV as it offers dual airbags, ABS with EBD and rear parking sensor.

"Going Green" in the lodging industry is not a trend anymore; it's a way to do business. Since the early eighties, the Antlers have been committed to green practices. Recently we have introduced even more initiatives. Our Sustainability Coordinator believes the new innovations available to all of us not only save energy and reduce waste, but often save the other kind of green ($) at the same time. "There truly is a balance, sacrificing comfort or quality is not part of the equation anymore."
A few examples that are now in place, or soon to be in place are the refillable amenities containers that are in all the guest condominiums. Standard globe lighting is being replaced with more expensive but longer lasting L.E.D lighting. Energy management systems are being installed in some of our condominiums which recognize when a room is not occupied and activates a "sleep" mode for energy consumption. We are investigating and considering the idea of "staging" the energy consumption in our building in order to not reach peak demand periods as other properties do.
Some of these ideas and many more are unique to the Vail Valley. We have taken the lead once again and hope to continue to set an example for all others to follow.

BMI Calculator: How Healthy Is Your Weight?
Body Mass Index can tell you whether you're carrying too much, too little or <br>just the right amount of body fat
When you click the "Calculate" button you'll be taken to a page with information about your results.
Getty Images
(BMI should not be used to assess a child's weight because the appropriate weight for a child varies greatly by age.)
Typically, people with higher BMIs have a greater likelihood of developing conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes. But many factors — including your family history, eating habits and activity level — also influence your overall health.
BMI calculator results are grouped into the broad categories of underweight, healthy weight, overweight and obese.
As you review your results keep in mind that BMI has its limits, and that BMI recommendations do differ based on gender and other variables. (For instance, BMI may underestimate body fat in an older person who has lost muscle tone.)
If you have questions or concerns about your BMI results, consult with your doctor or health care provider.
