TOPICS for CHAPTER 5

• The Scroll and the Lamb, V:1-14

  In God's right hand, John sees a book sealed with seven seals. John weeps greatly because he doesn't see anyone worthy to break the seven seals.

  One of the elders comes to John and tells him to stop weaping 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.

  Seeing the Lamb take the book out of God's hand causes the four living creatures and the 24 elders to worship before the Lamb singing a new song of redemption. A multitude of beings sing praises to the Lamb, and every created thing praises God and the Lamb.
