The document describes a scene from Revelation where God holds a sealed book that represents the history of humanity and God's plan of salvation. No one is found worthy to open the book until John sees a slain lamb with seven horns and eyes, representing complete power and wisdom. This lamb is revealed to be Jesus Christ, who has conquered death and is worthy to open the seals and redeem humanity. All of heaven and creation declare that Jesus alone deserves blessing, honor, glory and power forever for paying the price of humanity's salvation through his blood.

1. REVELATION 5
Worthy is the Lamb!

2. Revelation 5:1-4 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

3. The BOOK! Here we see God holding a book, all sealed up with seven seals. And the question is asked “Who is worthy to open this Book?” Nobody is found who can do this and John, who in the vision represents God‟s people, begins to weep with sorrow.
What is this book? Well, as the prophecies unfold in Revelation we see it stands for the history of man on earth and the plan of salvation. When man fell into sin and this world was taken captive by Satan, there was no way it could be saved — except one— the Creator Himself, Jesus, had to pay the price, no one else was „worthy‟, no other being could do it.

4. 5-7 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

5. So we see one of the elders say to John, don‟t cry, there is hope! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered and can open the book! John turns around to see this fierce Lion, and what does he see? Why he sees a lamb! And not just a sweet little gentle lamb, but this lamb is wounded and dying, it is the lamb that has been slain.

6. But there is something very special about this lamb; it has seven eyes, and seven horns! We have already seen that eyes mean spiritual eyesight, the Holy Spirit, the ability to „see‟ the future, and also knowledge. Seven means perfect, complete or „all‟. This „Lamb‟ has all wisdom, knowledge and ability to know the future.

7. He also has seven „horns‟; again seven means perfect, complete, and horns stand for power, rulership, a king. So Jesus, the slain Lamb of God has ALL POWER, in heaven and earth. This is quite a wonderful Lamb! If we, as humans think, were going to show a mighty power; we would show a roaring Lion, or something savage and fierce; but God shows us the One who has all power in heaven and earth; the slain Lamb of God!

8. Revelation 5: 8, 9 “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”

9. 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts 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 that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

10. Next we see the thousands and ten thousands of angels and heavenly beings declaring that, yes, indeed Jesus is worthy of praise and honour.

11. 13 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, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

12. Finally we see all creatures in the whole universe declaring the same thing, “Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.”
When the „Great Controversy‟ between Christ and Satan is all ended, every being in heaven and earth and the whole universe of other worlds, will agree that God is right and He could have done nothing better than what He did, to save mankind. Even Satan and the lost will admit this. How sad that they admit it too late!

13. Let us be among those who know it now, and admit it now, and tell others about it now, that Jesus is WORTHY! Worthy of our love, our trust, our obedience, our worship and our hearts forever! “And the four beasts said, Amen.”
