Chapter summary

John sees a written scroll sealed with seven seals in the right hand of the One seated on the throne, while a mighty angel asks who is worthy to open it. Because no one in heaven, on earth, or under the earth is able to open the scroll or look inside, John weeps bitterly until one of the elders tells him that the Lion of the tribe of Judah has triumphed. John then sees a slain Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes standing near the throne, who takes the scroll from the One seated on the throne. Upon taking the scroll, the four living creatures and twenty-four elders fall before the Lamb with harps and golden bowls of incense, singing a new song about His worthiness. Myriads of angels, followed by every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and in the sea, join in praising the One seated on the throne and the Lamb, ending with the living creatures saying "Amen" as the elders worship.
