‏ Revelation of John 5:9-10

Summary for Rev 5:9-10: 5:9-10  a The whole created order joins in a new song of praise to the Lamb (cp. 14:1-5  b; Ps 149:1  c; Isa 42:10  d).

• The Lamb is worthy because, through his sacrifice, he won the right to break the seals of the scroll and enact God’s purposes in history.

• The song summarizes the implications of the Good News about Jesus (1 Pet 1:18-25  e).
5:10  f The description of God’s people as a Kingdom of priests who will enjoy ultimate victory and will reign with Christ reflects the images of Jesus as both King (Rom 1:3  g) and High Priest (Heb 6:20  h).
