And I saw a scroll in the right hand
of the one who was sitting on the
throne. There was writing on the
inside and the outside of the
scroll, and it was sealed with seven
seals.
Rev 5:2
And I saw a strong angel, who
shouted with a loud voice: "Who is
worthy to break the seals on this
scroll and unroll it?"

Rev 5:3
But no one in heaven or on earth or
under the earth was able to open the
scroll and read it.
Rev 5:4
Then I wept because no one could be
found who was worthy to open the
scroll and read it.
Rev 5:5
But one of the twenty-four elders
said to me, "Stop weeping! Look, the
Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir
to David's throne, has conquered.
He
is worthy to open the scroll and
break its seven seals." (Picture-sourcewww.Revelationillustrated.com; Opening of the sealed scroll)
Rev 5:6
I
looked and I saw a
Lamb
that had been killed but was now
standing between the throne and the
four living beings and among the
twenty-four elders. He had seven
horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God that are sent out into every part of the
earth.
Rev 5:7
He
stepped forward and took the scroll
from the right hand of the one
sitting on the throne.
Rev 5:8
And
as he took the scroll, the four
living beings and the twenty-four
elders fell down before the Lamb.
Each one had a harp, and they held
gold bowls filled with incense--the
prayers of God's people!(Picture-sourcewww.Revelationillustrated.com; 24 Elders)
Casting crowns before the Throne
Rev 5:9
And
they sang a new song with these
words: "You are worthy to take the
scroll and break its seals and open
it. For you were killed, and Your
blood has ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and
people and nation.
Rev 5:10
And
You have caused them to become God's
Kingdom and His priests. And they
will reign on the earth."
Rev 5:11
Then
I looked again, and I heard the
singing of thousands and millions of
angels around the throne and the
living beings and the elders.
Rev 5:12
And
they sang in a mighty chorus: "The Lamb is worthy--the Lamb who
was killed. He is worthy to receive power
and riches and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing."
Rev 5:13
.And then I heard every creature in
heaven and on earth and under the
earth and in the sea. They also
sang: "Blessing and honor and glory
and power belong to the one sitting
on the throne and to the Lamb
forever and ever."
Rev 5:14
And
the four living beings said,
"Amen!" And the twenty-four
elders fell down and worshiped
God and the Lamb
Blessing and honor and glory
and power belong to the one sitting
on the throne and to the Lamb
forever and ever
