Notes

Revelation 5:12

This doxology (a short statement of praise) gives Jesus divine honors, which are usually only for God (see Revelation 4:11; 5:13; 7:12).

Revelation 5:11–12

A massive angelic choir, with thousands and millions of voices, responds in turn. All of heaven answers creation's acknowledgment of Christ's sacrifice.

Revelation 5:1–14

John introduces the Lamb, Jesus Christ, who is the main figure in Revelation and God's chosen one to fulfill his plans.

Revelation 4:1–5:14

This section introduces upcoming visions and judgments. John presents God in his heavenly court, which is the setting for the drama of Revelation (Revelation 4:1–11). The Lamb also plays a central role (Revelation 5:1–14). John contrasts God's majesty with the supposed majesty of Caesar. God's power and splendor surpass any earthly ruler's ceremonial court.
