Chapter 5

1

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
within Ezek 2:10
sealed Isa 29:11, Dan 12:4

2

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
no John 1:18

4

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

5

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Lion Gen 49:9
Juda Luke 3:33, Heb 7:14
Root Isa 11:1, Isa 11:10, Rev 22:16

6

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Lamb Gen 22:8, Isa 53:7, John 1:29, John 19:14, 1st Cor 5:7, 1st Pet 1:19
eyes Zech 3:9, Zech 4:10

7

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

8

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
harps Rev 14:2, Rev 15:2
odours
prayers Psa 141:2, Rev 8:3

9

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
new song Psa 40:3, Rev 14:3
redeemed 1st Cor 6:20, Gal 3:13, Heb 9:12

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
kings Exod 19:6, Rev 1:6

11

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
ten thousand Psa 68:17, Dan 7:10, Heb 12:22

12

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

13

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
every Phil 2:10
Blessing Rev 7:12
honour John 5:23
glory Eph 3:21

14

And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
