Revelation 5:11-14
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”
“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.
After the four beings and twenty-four elders bowed and praised, thousands of angels joined in. Created to serve God and praise Him, they could do no less! These tens of thousands loudly praised their Lord and Maker as we should also, beginning with acknowledging the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, and what salvation He has brought by His suffering, death, and resurrection. Jesus is truly worthy to gain all power, wisdom, and riches of all those given to Him before time by the Father (Matthew 25:34, Ephesians 1:4, Hebrews 4:3). All blessings are His, and so we all should be praising and worshiping as these in the heavens do. For even after these near the throne expressed praise in worship, even after the myriads of angels, then every creature under heaven joined in by eternally ascribing all blessing, honor, glory, and power to the Lord God and to the Lamb, the Son of God who takes away the sin of the world. The scene which John witnessed ended with the Amen, meaning it is so and will always be this way, by the four beings and the elders before His throne. We are made to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who reconciled us to the Father by His infinite sacrifice of sin washing love, and cannot but do anything else in eternity when we fall before His throne as all is made new. Hallelujah, what a Savior! Amen.
