Give

The passage explores Revelation chapter 5, emphasizing the divine worship around the throne in heaven. It describes the four living creatures, symbolic of God's omnipotence and omniscience, and the 24 elders who fall before the throne in reverence. Chapter 5 introduces a sealed scroll, which no one in heaven or earth can open, causing John to weep. However, the "Lion of Judah," who is also a slain lamb, is revealed as worthy to open the scroll due to His sacrificial death. This establishes His authority and reveals that He purchased people from all nations for God.
