Revelation 5:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 5:10

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!”

13 And ^aevery creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
^b“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him ^cwho sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and¹ ever!”
