Revelation 5  John sees a scroll in the Hand of God as He sits on the heavenly throne. This book has John's full attention.  He sees that there are seals on the book. He hears the angel ask "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?"   John becomes aware that no one is worthy. and it brings him to tears.. . until the Lamb "standing as if slain"... comes and takes the book out of the Hand of the Father. 

He is worthy! All of heaven erupts into worship and praise as the Lamb initiates the beginning of the end. They may not have known what was going to happen next, but they knew that Christ the Son of God.. the One who was slain "and did purchase for God with [His] blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation...." was the only One worthy of this action.  

John hears "the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands.." 

"Worthy is the Lamb that was slain

To receive power and riches and wisdom

and might and honor and glory and blessing."

"To Him who sits on the throne,

and to the Lamb, 

Be blessing and honor and glory

and dominion forever and ever."

"Amen!"

Jesus is the "Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David... the Lamb that was slain.. " and the One worthy of worship.  He received power.. riches..wisdom.. might.. honor.. glory.. and blessing, because of His sacrifice and obedience.. He "has overcome".. and is worthy to open this book. The Lamb came to die on a cross as the worthy sacrifice to save us from our sins.  He is coming as the Lion to bring judgement.. to rule the world.. to bring peace.. to reign forever! 

And amazingly He "hast made them (us... all those purchased by His blood) to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and [we] will reign upon the earth." 

Father in heaven, we fall before You and before the Lamb to worship You.. all praise and blessing and honor belong to You! We exalt You, our God, for You have given us salvation through the blood of the Lamb, slain to purchase us for You.  Jesus, we are looking forward to that day, when we will see You as John did.. and fall at Your feet along with the myriads upon myriads.. of angels and saints and living creatures.  We pray for our families and neighbors.. and all who are not ready for that day when You open the scroll, Lord Jesus.. may they find the Truth and willingly bow before You now, before it is too late..   We ask this as You have instructed us to.. in Your Name.. Amen.
