Revelation 5:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 5:6

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.

7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand ^aof Him who sat on the throne.

Worthy Is the Lamb

8 Now when He had taken the scroll, ^athe four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the ^bprayers of the saints.

9 And ^athey sang a new song, saying:
^b“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And ^chave redeemed us to God ^dby Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 And have made¹ us ^akings and¹ ^bpriests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,

12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

Revelation 5:2-14

As we read through this, keep in mind what we saw in Daniel 7. I propose to you that this vision in Revelation is a magnification of what happened when the Son of Man ascended and was brought before the Father, resulting in the Father giving Him dominion and glory and a kingdom. Notice how well it matches up:
