5AND I saw lying on the open hand of Him Who was seated on the throne a scroll (book) written within and on the back, closed {and} sealed with seven seals;G2532G1492G1909G1188G2521G1909G2362G975G1125G2081G2532G3693G2696G2033G49732And I saw a strong angel announcing in a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll? And [who is entitled and deserves and is morally fit] to break its seals?G2532G1492G2478G32G2784G3173G5456G5101G2076G514G455G975G2532G3089G4973G8463And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth [in the realm of the dead, Hades] was able to open the scroll or to take a [single] look at its contents.G2532G3762G1722G3772G3761G1909G1093G3761G5270G1093G1410G455G975G3761G991G8464And I wept audibly {and} bitterly because no one was found fit to open the scroll or to inspect it.G2532G1473G2799G4183G3754G3762G2147G514G455G2532G314G975G3777G991G8465Then one of the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] said to me, Stop weeping! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root (Source) of David, has won (has overcome and conquered)! He can open the scroll and break its seven seals!G2532G1520G1537G4245G3004G3427G2799G3361G2400G3023G5607G1537G5443G2455G4491G1138G3528G455G975G2532G3089G2033G4973G8466And there between the throne and the four living creatures (beings) and among the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [the sevenfold Holy Spirit] Who have been sent [on duty far and wide] into all the earth.G2532G1492G2532G2400G1722G3319G2362G2532G5064G2226G2532G1722G3319G4245G2476G721G5613G4969G2192G2033G2768G2532G2033G3788G3739G1526G2033G4151G2316G649G1519G3956G10937He then went and took the scroll from the right hand of Him Who sat on the throne.G2532G2064G2532G2983G975G1537G1188G2521G1909G23628And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] prostrated themselves before the Lamb. Each was holding a harp (lute or guitar), and they had golden bowls full of incense (fragrant spices and gums for burning), which are the prayers of God's people (the saints).G2532G3753G2983G975G5064G2226G2532G5064G1501G4245G4098G1799G721G2192G1538G2788G2532G5552G5357G1073G2368G3739G1526G4335G409And [now] they sing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll and to break the seals that are on it, for You were slain (sacrificed), and with Your blood You purchased men unto God from every tribe and language and people and nation.G2532G103G2537G5603G3004G1488G514G2983G975G2532G455G4973G846G3754G4969G2532G59G2248G2316G1722G4675G129G1537G3956G5443G2532G1100G2532G2992G2532G148410And You have made them a kingdom (royal race) and priests to our God, and they shall reign [as kings] over the earth!G2532G4160G2248G2257G2316G935G2532G2409G2532G936G1909G1093
Angels Exalt the Lamb
11Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels on every side of the throne and of the living creatures and the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin], and they numbered ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands,G2532G1492G2532G191G5456G4183G32G2943G2362G2532G2226G2532G4245G2532G706G846G2258G3461G3461G2532G5505G550512Saying in a loud voice, Deserving is the Lamb, Who was sacrificed, to receive all the power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and majesty (glory, splendor) and blessing!G3004G3173G5456G514G2076G721G4969G2983G1411G2532G4149G2532G4678G2532G2479G2532G5092G2532G1391G2532G212913And I heard every created thing in heaven and on earth and under the earth [in Hades, the place of departed spirits] and on the sea and all that is in it, crying out together, To Him Who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb be ascribed the blessing and the honor and the majesty (glory, splendor) and the power (might and dominion) forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities)!G2532G3956G2938G3739G2076G1722G3772G2532G1722G1093G2532G5270G1093G2532G3739G2076G1909G2281G2532G3956G1722G846G191G3004G2129G2532G5092G2532G1391G2532G2904G2521G1909G2362G2532G721G1519G165G16514Then the four living creatures (beings) said, Amen (so be it)! And the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] prostrated themselves and worshiped {Him Who lives forever and ever.}G2532G5064G2226G3004G281G2532G5064G1501G4245G4098G2532G4352G2198G1519G165G165
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
