F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 5:9-14

the One Worthy to Open It Revelation 5:9-14 Jesus is worthy to unroll the mystic scroll of history, because He loved and loves our race as no other has ever done; and He is equally worthy to open each new phase of our lives. When He came into the world He said, “In the volume of the book it is written of me.” We need not fear those pierced hands. If we are His purchased property, He will provide for us. If we are priests and kings in His ideal, we may trust Him so to arrange our life-plan as... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 5:1-14

In this chapter we have John's vision of the heavenly arrangement for earthly administration. The program lies in the hand of the One who sits on the throne. It is written, but sealed, and none can know it. This fact produced a great sorrow in John, so that he wept much, seeing that none was able to take the book and unloose the seals in order that the heavenly program might be carried out on the earthly level. But now appeared the Lamb, whose advent was heralded by the most wonderful music... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 5:1-14

Revelation 5. The Vision of Heaven ( continued) .— Ch. 4 gives us the vision of the majesty and glory of God, ch. 5 the vision of the “ Lamb standing as though it had been slain.” The theme of Revelation 4 is the creative power of God: the theme of Revelation 5 the redemptive power of Christ. Revelation 5:1 . a book: i.e. the book of destiny, containing the secrets of the future, probably in the form of a papyrus roll, sealed with seven seals for the sake of security. The imagery is taken... read more

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain; the Lamb mentioned Revelation 5:6, with seven horns and seven eyes, viz. Jesus Christ.

And strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing; and of all the homage, glory, praise,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 5:1-14

THE OPENER OF THE SEALED BOOKCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHAVING duly conserved the honour of the one and only Lord God Almighty, attention can be again fixed on the ministry of the Living Christ. He has been presented under symbols bearing relation to His work in the Church; now He is present under symbols bearing relation to His place and rights in heaven. He is conceived of as there, “highly exalted,” and “having a Name above every name”; because “He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Revelation 5:8-12

Revelation 5:8-12 The End of the Redeemed. I. Such a vision as that of the text is intended, we cannot doubt, to form a ground of hope and of encouragement in the progressive advancement of our spiritual life. Our nature is possessed of an instinct ever looking forward to the end of our course, with power to brighten the scenes with imaginative pictures. It is the life of hope, and every faculty is stimulated and sustained by its influences. The Revelation is the one book of Scripture that... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 5:1-14

Chapter 5And I saw in the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a scroll that had writing both within and on the backside, and it was sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open this scroll, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I sobbed convulsively, because no man was found worthy to open and read the book, neither to... read more
