启示录 5:6 RCUVSS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 5:6-7

Revelation 5:6-7. And I beheld, and lo, &c. Upon this I observed, in my vision, a new representation; in, or on, the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures Within the circle which they made round him; and in the midst of the elders Making a larger circle round him and them; stood a Lamb Αρνιον εστηκος , a lamb standing. He no more falls on his face; the days of his weakness and mourning are ended! He is now in a posture of readiness to execute all his offices of... read more

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 5:6

And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.A Lamb standing ... Beyond all controversy, the Lamb is Jesus Christ the Son of God, and significantly he is in the midst of the throne, sharing eternal and omnipotent authority with the Father himself. This is the grand truth of this chapter and... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 5:6

Revelation 5:6. Stood a Lamb, as it had been slain,— As having been slain, or who had been slain for sacrifice, and wore the recent marks of slaughter. Our Saviour is declared by the Baptist to be the Lamb of God, because to be sacrificed to him as a Lamb, to take away the sins of the world. Christ is represented by the two different symbols of a Lion and a Lamb, to express his victory over sin and death, and his sacrifice of himself to obtain that victory:—"A Lion," says a commentator,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 5:6

6. I beheld, and, lo—One oldest manuscript, A, omits "and, lo." Another, B, CYPRIAN, c., support, "and, lo," but omit, "and I beheld." in the midst of the throne—that is, not on the throne (compare :-), but in the midst of the company ( :-) which was "round about the throne." Lamb—Greek, "arnion" always found in Revelation exclusively, except in John 21:15 alone: it expresses endearment, namely, the endearing relation in which Christ now stands to us, as the consequence of His previous... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 5:6

As with our dreams, John’s vision contained some unusual features. John saw the Messiah as a Lamb. The diminutive form of amnos ("lamb," namely, arnion) enhances the contrast with the lion. The lion is a picture of strength and majesty, but this lamb was meek and gentle. Christ combines both sets of characteristics. The Lamb is a symbol of Jesus Christ at His first advent, meek and submissive to a sacrificial death as our substitute (Isaiah 53:7; John 1:36; John 21:15). John is the only New... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 5:1-14

The Glory of the LambThe Church is shown that Christ is on her side. He has overcome by suffering. Now the future is for Him and His people, and He is worshipped with the Father.1-4. A roll of a book, covered with writing on both sides, signifying the full contents of God’s purposes for the future (cp. Ezekiel 2:9.), ’close sealed’ (RV) with seven seals, i.e. completely hidden from the knowledge of angels and men, rests on the outstretched right hand of ’Him that sitteth on the throne,’... read more
