Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!

Revelation 5:1-14

And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”  

Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”

At this point, John begins to see the things which 'must happen in the future. A scroll completely covered with writing, inside and out, and sealed with seven seals - the scroll that contains the world's destiny - must be opened. John is full of anguish that no one is found worthy. Then one of the elders calls his attention to 'the Lion from Judah's tribe: the Lion who won his victory as the slain Lamb. Chapter 4 pictured God the Creator. This chapter picture God the Redeemer. The response to both is universal praise and worship. The elders and living creatures are joined by countless myriads of angels.

Why?

John saw the scroll that sealed and he was anguish no one can open the scroll. Only the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, Jesus Christ has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.

Jesus is worthy to open the seals, for Jesus is worthy Lamb, who receive the power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise.

約翰渴慕神的話語，因為沒有辦法看到而哭泣，這是何等渴望神的話。有權柄審判的有才有權柄來開封書卷。

耶穌基督付極高代價，本來就配得。

接過來書卷後，天上的長老、四活物，千萬的天使、所有被造之物都以敬拜來回應，讚美。再回到四活物的敬拜，是環繞基督的敬拜，彼此唱和，超越時空，合一的敬拜。這是神最終創造的目的。

How?

Jesus Christ has got the victory who sits on the throne and has honor, glory, and power.
