Revelation 5.11-14
Imagine this scene with me. John the apostle, or perhaps you, are taken in the spirit to heaven's throne room. And you are faced with this scene.
You are faced with angels, elders, creatures & created things of all kinds making noise and features of all sorts. The volume & energy is overwhelming.
But after a little while you start picking out what each group is saying. The myriads of angels are the loudest so you hear them first: Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power & riches & wisdom & might & honor & glory & blessing.
Soon you notice how the creatures respond: To Him who sits on the throne, & to the Lamb, be blessing & honor & glory & dominion forever & ever.
Yet there is more. There is a rhythm to this worship song. You (or John) locate the source; the four living creatures keep repeating something in earnest. You strain our ears & catch the exact lyric: Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen
All this for a Lamb. A Lamb who was slain. It was mentioned this morning during the Lord's Supper God came to be among man. Realize that now the tables have been turned. Man is now gathered in the midst of God.
All thanks to the Lamb.
