The Apostle John, while on the Isle of Patmos, received a
revelation of Jesus Christ, and of things that were to unfold at
the end of this age. He writes:
And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a
scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is
worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?"
And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able
to open the scroll, or to look at it. So I wept much, because no
one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at
it.
But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion
of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open
the scroll and to loose its seven seals."
And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the
four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a
Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven
eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the
earth. Then He came and took the scroll out of the right
hand of Him who sat on the throne.
Now when He had taken the scroll, the 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 prayers of
the saints. And they sang a new song, saying: "You are
worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were
slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every
tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings
and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth."
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, 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!" And every 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: "Blessing
and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!" Then the four living
creatures said, "Amen!"
