Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 5:1-14

Vision of the Lamb (5:1-14)In the hand of the Almighty is a scroll, which no doubt contains the revelation that John is to receive. Like most important documents it is sealed. In fact, it has seven seals, and these can be broken only by someone with the authority to do so. Since the scroll will reveal matters of worldwide importance, the person to break these seals must be one who has authority over the world’s affairs. John weeps when it appears that no one in all creation can be found who is... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 5:10

and madest them to be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth.This is a disputed text, there being even some question of the translation; but despite this, the meaning comes through with absolute clarity. The saints of Jesus Christ, the Christians of all tribes and nations, are now reigning upon the earth with Jesus Christ.

10. made us—A, B, Aleph, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic read, "them."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 5:10

The third reason for praise is the creation of a kingdom and priests (a priestly kingdom) for God by the Lamb’s death (cf. 1 Peter 2:5; 1 Peter 2:9). Priesthood involves immediate access into God’s presence for praise and worship as well as the privilege of priestly service. The fourth reason for praise is the blessing of His people by allowing them to rule on the earth (during the Millennium and thereafter).Some translations render this song in the first person ("You have redeemed us . . .,"... read more
