John's 3:16 states, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." The next verse declares, "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved" (John 3:17).
Both of these statements are the absolute truth, and the Book of Revelation confirms it. God's Revelation, given to John, shows how the Lamb brings that truth into the reality of our world.
Modern-day theologians argue that the seven horns of this symbolic Lamb presents him as the judge and prosecutor of sin and the sinners of the world. However, this is a distortion of the text. There is no scripture in the entire Bible where a secondary symbol transforms a primary symbol. The Lamb is shown as the primary symbol in Revelation, and that Lamb is repeatedly designated as humanity's redeemer.
