Revelation 5:1

The Lamb Takes the Scroll

1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne ^aa scroll written inside and on the back, ^bsealed with seven seals.

2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, ^a“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”

3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

Revelation 5:1-2

Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power. The chorus in which they join ascribes all glory to God as his right as the Creator. For thy pleasure they are and were created. "Because of thy will" (Revised Version). Not as in the Common Version. They do not say that God created all things "for his pleasure", but that his will was the efficient cause.
