Revelation 5:2
And I saw a strong angel - This proclamation to every creature was too great for a man to make, and yet not becoming the Lamb himself. It was therefore made by an angel, and one of uncommon eminence.
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.
4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open1 and read the scroll, or to look at it.
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, athe Lion of the tribe of bJudah, cthe Root of David, has dprevailed to open the scroll eand to loose its seven seals.”
6 And I looked,1 and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood aa Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and bseven eyes, which are cthe seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
