Revelation 5 Summary
Revelation 5 records the Lamb taking the scroll — the Lion of Judah is a slain Lamb — and the worship of every creature in heaven, earth, and sea.
John weeps because no one is worthy to open the scroll of God's purposes. An elder says, «Weep no more; the Lion of the tribe of Judah… has conquered.» John looks and sees a Lamb standing as though slain.
The Lamb takes the scroll; the four living creatures and twenty-four elders sing a new song — Christ has ransomed a kingdom of priests from every tribe and tongue. All heaven and earth join.
