In Revelation 5, a mighty angel loudly proclaims, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open this scroll?” John says he wept because no one was found worthy to open the scroll. Then, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, the Lamb, takes the scroll from the right hand of Him who sits on the throne.

At the end of chapter 6, the sixth seal is opened, and people on earth try to hide from God (see Revelation 6:15-17). Chapter 7 of Revelation begins with God sending four angels to hold back the winds of judgment until His own are sealed and protected.

After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.

Revelation 7:1

As the chapter ends, John sees a vast multitude from all nations and cultures standing before God's throne, clothed in white robes. They are identified by the angel as those “who have come out of the great tribulation” (verse 14). The angels are gathered around the throne, while the elders and the four living creatures fall face down before God and worship Him. What a beautiful worship scene!

Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will shelter them with His presence. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Revelation 7:15-17

"The Lamb will shepherd His people and lead them to living water. Every sorrowful memory of pain and suffering will be taken away by the Heavenly Father.

Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!"

Revelation 7:12

In Revelation 4 and 5, John is taken in the Spirit to heaven. He is shown the heavenly throne, surrounded by the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders. The majesty and splendor are breathtaking. Then, he saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne, sealed with seven seals.

And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice,

“Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”

And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

Revelation 5:2-4

John’s sorrow eases when one of the elders announces that someone has “triumphed.” He looks to see the mighty Lion (the conquering warrior-Messiah from the Root of David) but instead sees the striking figure of a “Lamb” as if it had been slaughtered, standing in the center of the throne room.

And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that He can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Revelation 5:5

The Lamb is victorious and has been given all power and authority from the One seated on the throne. When He takes the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fall down and sing a new song as they worship the Lamb.

And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, for You were slain, and by Your blood You ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”

Revelation 5:9-10

Scripture: Revelation 4:1-11

Title: Worship at the Throne

In Revelation, chapter 4, we see a marvelous example: The Throne of God in heaven. Worship there is endless, unceasing, constant, and everlasting.

John is the last remaining disciple, living on the Island of Patmos. He is given a specific assignment from God. John is transported in the Spirit to heaven and receives a fresh view of God's majesty and power.

After this, I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.

Revelation 4:1-2

The throng surrounding the throne of God consists of twenty-four elders, seated on twenty-four thrones, and four living beings. The four living beings never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever.

Revelation 4:9-10

He is holy. The Lord God Almighty is worthy to receive glory and honor and power.
