Revelation:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then I saw lying upon the right hand of Him who sat upon the throne ,
a book written within and on the back ,
close 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 its seals ."
*
And no one in the heavens or on the earth ,
or under the earth ,
was able to open the book ,
or to look into it .
*
so I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the book ,
or to look into it .
*
But one of the Elders said to me . "
Do not weep !
Behold ,
the Lion of the tribe of Judah ,
the Root of David ,
has conquered ,
and so can open the book with its seven seals ."
*
Then I beheld a Lamb standing as if slain in the midst of the throne and of the four Living Creatures ,
and in the midst of the Elders .
He had seven horns and seven eyes (
which are the seven Spirits of God ,
sent forth into all the earth ).
*
And he went ,
and now he has taken the book out of the right hand of Him who was seated on the throne .
*
When he took the book ,
the four Living Creatures and the four and twenty Elders fell down before the Lamb .
And each had a harp and a golden bowls full of incense ,
which are the prayers of the saints .
*
And they sang a new song ,
saying , "
Worthy art thou to take the book And to open its seals ;
For thou wast slain and didst ransom for God Men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation ;
*
Thou hast made them kings and priests unto our God ,
And they shall reign on earth ."
*
Then I looked and heard a voice of many angels encircling the throne and a voice of the Living Creatures and of the Elders ;
and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand ,
and thousands of thousands ,
*
singing aloud , "
Worthy is the Lamb who has been slain ,
To receive power and riches and wisdom And might and honor and glory and blessing ."
*
And I heard every created thing that is in heaven ,
or on earth ,
or beneath the earth ,
or on the sea ,
and all things that are in them ,
saying , "
To him who sits on the throne ,
And to the Lamb ,
Be the blessing and the honor ,
And the glory and the power ,
Forever and ever !"
*
And the four Living Creatures kept saying , "
Amen !"
And the Elders fell down and worshiped .
