Chapter 5
THE GLORY OF YAHWEH FILLS THE EARTH AS THE RESULT OF THE SCROLL BEING UNROLLED AND THE SEALS LOOSED
TRANSLATION
APOC. V
1. And I saw at the right of Him, seated upon the throne a SCROLL that had been written within and on the outside, sealed up with SEVEN SEALS.
2. And I saw a powerful messenger heralding with a loud voice,"Who is worthy to unroll the scroll, and to loose its seals?"
3. But no one was able in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, to unroll the scroll, nor to see it.
4. And I shed many tears, because no one was found worthy to unroll
and to read the scroll, nor to see it.
5. But one of the elders saith unto me, "Weep not; behold the LION who is of the Tribe of Judah, THE ROOT OF DAVID, hath prevailed to unroll the scroll, and to loose its seven seals.
6. And I saw, and behold in midst of the throne and of the four Living Ones, and in the midst of the Elders, a LAMB having stood as having been slain, having Seven Horns and Seven Eyes, the which are the SEVEN SPIRITS of the Deity, having been sent forth into all the earth.
7. And he went and received the scroll from the right of Him seated upon the throne.
8. And when he received the scroll, the four Living Ones, and the twenty-four Elders prostrated themselves before the Lamb, having every one harps, and golden bowls full of perfumes, the which are the prayers of the SAINTS. 9. And they sing a NEW SONG, saying,
"Thou art worthy to receive the scroll.
And to undo the seals thereof;
For thou wast slain, and with thy blood,
The price, hast purchased us for God
From every tribe, race, people, tongue;
And mad'st us kings and priests four God,
And we upon the earth shall reign."
11. And I beheld, and heard a voice of many angels circled about the throne and of the Living Ones and of the Elders; and the number of them was ten thousand and thousands of thousands,
12. Saying with a loud voice,
"The Lamb that hath been put to death,
The power, riches, wisdom, strength,
And honor, glory, blessing too,
Is worthy to receive."
13. And every created thing that is in the heaven, and things which are on the earth, and underneath the earth, and upon the sea, even all the things in them, I heard saying,
"TO HIM that sitteth on the throne
And to the LAMB the blessing be,
The honor, glory, and the pow'r,
The Aions of the Aions for!"
14. And the four Living Ones said, "So LET IT BE!" And the twenty four Elders prostrated themselves, and did homage to him that liveth for the Aions of the Aions.
