SEVEN SCENES IN HEAVEN (6): SONG OF THE ANGELS (REVELATION 5:11-12)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Revelation

a) John wrote Revelation while a prisoner on the Island of Patmos, approximately 85-95 A.D. Its purpose is to give encouragement and hope for all Christians to continue watching for the return and triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ. It also is to warn of the Final Judgment that nonbelievers will endure on that Last Day.

b) John wrote that Revelation is special because,“Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near” (Revelation 1:3).

c) A brief view of the Book of Revelation. It gives you some basic understanding of the book of Revelation.

2. Angels Exalt The Lamb

Revelation 5:11-12
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”

3. Song of the Angels

a) Angels

a) The angels of heaven in their millions now join the elders and living creatures in song.

b) Power... honor... glory

i) The terms of this song attribute the same glory and honor and power to the Lamb as was attributed to God the Father (Revelation 4:11).
