John sees in God's right hand a book sealed with seven seals. He weeps greatly because no one is worthy to open the book. But an elder tells him to stop weeping, because the Lion of the tribe of Judah is able to open the book. Then a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, comes and takes the book out of God's hand. The four living creatures and twenty-four elders worship before the Lamb, singing a new song of redemption. Myriads of beings sing praises to the slain Lamb, and every created thing praises God and the Lamb.
