Revelation 5:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 5:9

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:

Revelation 5:9-10

That makes it even more specific. The kings who are going to govern under Christ are not only those who come up in the first resurrection but they are also identified as those who are "the redeemed" by the blood of the Lamb (as we read, just a little bit earlier), and that the reign is going to be on earth.
