Revelation 4-5

Who is seated on the throne? What do the 24 elders sing to him?

The one sitting on the throne had the appearance of Jasper and Carnelian.

Carnelian was used to make signet rings to imprint a seal with wax during Roman times. Also, it is the official shade of red used by Campbell soup! See image


The 24 elders sing (say) 11"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."

AND, they sang to the lamb, "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."

Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals? What did the angels sing? What did every creature in heaven and on earth sing?

The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David. Also, the lamb who was slain was worthy to open the scroll.

The Angels sang, "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"

Every Creature sang "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!"
