As we continue with this section of the Book of Revelation, we see in Chapter 5 another vision of heaven and the throne room of God. In this vision, however, there is a book in the hand of God that no man is worthy to open. As John continues to observe the scene, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah – the Lamb of God that was slain from the foundation of the world – prevails to take the book and open it! We will see as we go forward what this book is, but the focus here is on the worthiness of the Lamb!
