Revelation Chapter 5
The Scroll with the 7 Seals
1 I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One on the throne. It had writing inside and out, and seven seals on it. 2 A strong angel shouted, “Who’s worthy to break the seven seals and unroll the scroll?” 3 Nobody in heaven, on earth, or under the earth could unroll it—or even look at it. 4 I started to cry because nobody could unroll it. 5 One of the elders said, “Don’t cry. The Lion from the tribe of Judah, David’s descendant, has overcome death. He can break the seven seals and unroll it.”
Rev 5:1-5
Worshipping the Lamb
6 Among the throne, elders, and four living beings, I saw a Lamb standing as if it had been slain. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits God sent into the whole world. 7 He came and took the scroll from the One on the throne. 8 Then the four living beings and 24 elders knelt in front of the Lamb. Each one had a harp and a gold bowl of incense, which is the saints’ prayers. 9 They sang a new song,
“You’re worthy to take the scroll and break its seals
because you were killed.
With your blood you purchased for God
people out of every tribe, language, people group, and nation.
10 You made them into a kingdom of priests for our God,
and they’ll rule on earth.”
Rev 5:6-10
11 I saw countless thousands of angels around the throne, created beings, and elders, shouting,
12 “The Lamb that was killed deserves
to receive authority, wealth, wisdom,
strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”
13 Everyone created in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea said,
“To the One on the throne and to the Lamb,
blessing, honor, glory, and power forevermore.”
14 The four living beings said, “Amen,” and the elders knelt down in worship.
