    Zmartwychwstanie Jezusa jako klucz do interpretacji dziejów świata (Ap 5,6-10)
    Siemieniec, Tomasz (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2009)
    The article discusses the role of Christ the Lamb in the light of Rev 5,6-10. In the first piane Christ appears in the glory of his victory. A visible sign of this victory is the place in the midst of the divine throne. At first his victory consists in martyr's death. It entitled God to enter into a new bond with the people purchased for him. But the victory of the Lamb cannot be limited only to the martyrdom. For he appears in this vision as "standing, as though it had been slain". Such pose suggests victory not only through the martyrdom, but also through the resurrection. The victory achieved by the Lamb gives him right to take the scroll from the right band of "the One, who is sitring on the throne". This scroll symbolizes divine plan toward the world and the people. Banding of the scroll to the Lamb means to initiate this scheme. For this reason the resurrection of Christ the Lamb can be seen as a key event to the accomplishment of God's purpose. Divine project is being realized in the history of the world and the people. Attitude of men expresses either approval of the divine plan or refusal of it. In this context we can speak about judgment (it is suggested by OT-background of the symbol of a scroll ‒ book). Judgment consists in a division of hmnankind in to two groups. One group includes those people who are on God's side. They accept divine piane (which culminates in the resurrection of Christ) and by their life participate in the fulfilment of it. The other group rejects divine project by coming out against God and Lamb. The sentence is simply a consequence of their choice: the reward for the fuithful and punishment for the disloyal ones.
