Revelation Chapter 5
Introduction:
Chapter 5 is the Revelation of the scroll with seven seals that only The LAMB that was slain and is Alive is worthy to open them. So the four living creatures and the twenty-four Elders worshiped Him with harps and bowls of incense which are the prayers of the Saints, along with tens of thousands of angels.
:1 “And I saw in the right hand of Him Who sat on The Throne a Scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals (Ezekiel 2:9-10; Isaiah 29:11-12).
:2-5 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, ‘Who is Worthy to open The Scroll and to loose it seals?’ And no one in Heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open The Scroll or to look at It. So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll or to look at It. But one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep, Behold, The Lion of The Tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:8-10), The root of David (Isaiah 11:1, 10) has prevailed to open The scroll and to lose Its seven seals.’
:6-7 And I looked and Behold, in the midst of the Throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb (John 1:29) as though it had been slain (1 Peter 1:18-21), having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of GOD sent out into all the earth (Zechariah 4:8-10). Then He came and took The Scroll out of the right hand of Him Who sat on The Throne (Isaiah 6:1).
:8-10 Now when He had taken The scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before The Lamb (Revelation 19:4), each having a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints (Revelation 8:3-4). And they sang a new song, saying (Revelation 14:1-4), ‘You are Worthy to take The Scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain and have Redeemed us to GOD by Your Blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation. And have made us kings and priests (Exodus 19:6; Revelation 1:5-6) to our GOD; and we shall reign on the earth.’
:11-14 Then I looked and I heard the voice of many angels around The Throne, the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: ‘Worthy is The Lamb Who was slain To receive Power and Riches and Wisdom, and Strength and Honor and Glory and Blessing!’ And every creature that is in Heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them (Psalm 145:21; Philippians 2:9-11), I heard saying: ‘Blessing and Honor and Glory and Power be to Him Who sits on The Throne (1 Chronicles 29:10-12; Revelation 20:11), and to the Lamb forever and Ever!’ Then the four living creatures said, ‘Amen!’ and the twenty-four elders fell down and worshipped Him Who Lives Forever and Ever.”
