Revelation Chapter 5-The 7 Seals

Chapter 5 is the introduction to the beginning of the judgements of earth. We are first exposed to the 7 seals, which are the 7 horrific, unimaginable wraths that God will unleash upon the earth. But first, we have to examine what John writes, verse one,
¹ And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
² Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”
³ And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. Verse 3 gives us an idea of the almighty power that this scroll contains. Nobody, not even the archangel could open it, they couldn't even LOOK at it as if they wanted to TRY. But then, verse 5 says:
⁵ But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Who is this Lion of Judah and this Root of David? It is Jesus Christ the Son of God, as it says in verse 6, ⁶ And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. ⁷ Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

The rest of chapter 5 shows how the Lamb is given power by absolutely EVERYONE.
This is the rest of the chapter:

⁸ Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
⁹ And they sang a new song, saying:


      “ You are worthy to take the scroll,
      And to open its seals;
      For You were slain,
      And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
      Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
       ¹⁰ And have made us kings and priests to our God;
      And we shall reign on the earth.”

¹¹ Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, 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 who was slain
      To receive power and riches and wisdom,
      And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

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, I heard saying:


      “ Blessing and honor and glory and power
      Be to Him who sits on the throne,
      And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

¹⁴ Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.


This is in direct correlation to Romans 14:11 where Jesus says: For it is written, As I live, said the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
