Worthy is the Lamb

The Scroll and the Lamb Revelation 5 After John saw the throne in heaven,

his attention was drawn to something held in the right hand of the One who sat upon it.

John writes that he saw “a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven

seals” (Revelation 5:1). This scroll was complete, closed,

and secured. It represented God’s purposes, His judgments, and His plan moving

forward in history. Then a strong angel proclaimed with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to

open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?” (Revelation 5:2). The question echoed

through heaven. John looked, waiting for an answer. But no one stepped forward.
