I saw that was on the throne in his right hand a scroll. It was written within and without, and sealed with seven seals. "Who is worthy to open the book and break its seals" And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, but there was no one who could open look inside it and no one in heaven, no one on earth and no one in hell. As I wept much, because no one was there who was worthy to open the book and look inside. But one of the elders said to me, "Do not cry! One has triumphed, and he can open the book and its seven seals . Break It is the lion of the tribe of Judah, a descendant of King David "And then I saw it. In the center before the throne, surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders, stood a Lamb that looked as if it had been slain . It had seven horns and seven eyes. These are the seven spirits of God that have been sent all over the world. The lamb was to him that sat on the throne, and received the book from his right hand. At the same moment were the four living creatures and the elders of the Lamb. Each had a harp and golden bowls full of incense. These are the prayers of all who belong to God. And all sang a new song: "You are alone worthy to take the book, but you must break its seals. Because you have been slaughtered as a sacrifice, and with your blood you ransomed people for God, people of all tribes and languages of all peoples and nations. Through you, they are now kings and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth. "Then I saw thousands upon thousands of angels, an innumerable quantity, and I heard them shouting something in common. They stood around the throne, the four living creatures and the elders. Vast heard her voice: "Only the Lamb that was slain, including all power and all wealth. Him alone belong wisdom and strength, honor, Glory and worship! "Then I heard, like all other creatures identical. All in heaven and on earth, the dead under the ground as the creatures of the sea, they all cried: "Praise and glory, all glory and power belong to him who sits on the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever!" The four figures confirmed this with their "Amen". And the elders fell down and worshiped God.
