Revelation 5:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 5:2

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.”

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:
