SEVEN SCENES IN HEAVEN (7): SONG OF THE UNIVERSE (REVELATION 5:13-14)

(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 5:13-14 
13 And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying,

“To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”

14 And the four living creatures kept saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

3. Song of the Universe

a) Every created thing 

i) All creatures of earth, sky, and sea join in the song. It becomes the song of the whole universe.

b) And to the Lamb 

i) Again the same praise and honor is given "to him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb". It is clear that the Lamb and he who sits on the throne are both recognized equally as God.

c) Worshiped 

i) The elders fell down and worshiped. They clearly understood that the Lamb was God.

d) Amen 

i) The four living creatures kept saying "Amen" which means "true".
