Revelation 5 is the fifth chapter of the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John in the New Testament of the ChristianBible. The book is traditionally attributed to John the Apostle,[1][2] but the precise identity of the author remains a point of academic debate.[3] This chapter contains the inaugural vision of the lamb on the throne in heaven.[4]
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.[8]
The sealed scroll or book (Biblical Greek: βιβλιον, romanized: biblion) is introduced, which will be unsealed step by step in chapter 6 and finally opened with the breach of the seventh seal in Revelation 8:1. "The idea of the book in which the decrees of the Divine government appear written occurs already in Psalm 139:16 and in Exodus 32:32".[9] Only Jesus Christ is proven worthy to open the scroll which contains 'God's secret plan for the coming of his kingdom on earth'.[10]
Verse 5edit
But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."[11]
And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.[12]
The Lamb appeared to be Slain Look the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the Cosmos/World..John 1:29
Was wounded by US to forever wear those scars…Zec 13:6
The seven Horns Reflecting the perfection of Power He had/has…Lam 2:3
The seven Eyes The perfection of the spiritual eyesight/wisdom of our Lord who is the ONLY ONE that can loose the seals because He gained victory for US and the Spirit of God was upon Him…Luke 4:18
Verse 11edit
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,[13]
