Study note

Revelation 5:9–10

  • The entire created order sings a new song of praise to the lamb (compare Revelation 14:1–5; Psalm 149:1; Isaiah 42:10).

  • The lamb is worthy because his sacrifice earned him the right to open the scroll's seals and carry out God's plans in history.

  • The song highlights the meaning of the good news about Jesus (1 Peter 1:18–25).
