The Lamb Takes the Scroll
1 Then I saw in the right hand of the one seated on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides, sealed with seven seals. 5:1 Is 29:11; Ezk 2:9–10; Dn 12:42 I also saw a mighty angel 5:2 Rv 10:1 proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals? "
6 Then I saw one like a slaughtered lamb 5:6 Rv 5:12; 13:8 standing in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God 5:6 Rv 1:4 sent into all the earth.
