The Worthy One
“God’s heavenly dwelling place represents the environment that God enjoys to live in. God’s desire is that places of this type would spring up all across this planet and that people would exercise the same zeal for that as David did. God’s plan is that this heavenly reality would be released here on earth, for even down here it’s worship that creates a dwelling place for Him.” ― Benjamin Schäfer
Last week we read about the slain lamb that ransomed a people for God. This week we continue on with this story line in Revelation 5:11-14
The Passage
Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”
And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever”
And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
The List:
- The voices of thousands upon thousands of angels are around your throne
- The angels speak in a loud voice and say the same thing
- The angels call the slain lamb worthy to receive the following…and therefore we agree that He is worthy:
- To receive power
- To receive wealth
- To receive wisdom
- To receive might
- To receive honor
- To receive glory
- To receive blessing
- Every creature in all of created order will declare, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever”
- The four living creatures say “Amen” (Let it be so) in response to this
- The Elders in heaven fall down and worship Him
The Declarations:
