Scripture:
Revelation 5:1-14
Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne
a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a
mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and
open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could
open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was
found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 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.”
Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it
had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four
living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are
the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He came and took the
scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. And when he had taken
it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the
Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense,
which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song:
“You are worthy to take the
scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you
purchased men for God
from every tribe and language
and people and nation.
You have made them to be a
kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
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 sang: “Worthy is the
Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and
honor and glory and praise!”
Then I heard every creature in heaven
and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them,
singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and
glory and power, for ever and ever!”
The four living creatures said,
“Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Revelation 4:11
You
are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive
glory and honor and power, for you
created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.
Colossians 1:16,17
For by him all things were created: things in heaven
and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or
authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all
things, and in him all things hold together.
Romans 8:21
...that the creation
itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the
glorious freedom of the children of God.
