Structure


The New King James Version organises this chapter as follows:




  • Revelation 5:1-7 = The Lamb Takes the Scroll


  • Revelation 5:8-14 = Worthy Is the Lamb



Verse 1


New King James Version



I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.[7]

The sealed scroll or book (Greek: βιβλιον, bibliov) is introduced, which will be unsealed step by step in chapter 6 and finally opened with the breach of the seventh seal in Revelation 8:1. "The idea of the book in which the decrees of the Divine government appear written occurs already in Psalm 139:16 and in Exodus 32:32".[8]



Verse 5


New King James Version



But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”[9]

Cross reference: Isaiah 11:10



Verse 11


New King James Version



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,[10]


Verse 12


New King James Version



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!”[11]




Verse 13


New King James Version



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!”[12]




Verse 14


New King James Version



Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.[13][14]

Electric locomotive Škoda ChS4-109. The Moscow — Odessa train in Vinnytsia railway station. The Siemens ES64U4, is the current confirmed holder as the fastest electric locomotive at 357 km/h (222 mph) in 2006. An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor. Electric locomotives with on-board fueled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine-electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system. Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90% (not including the inefficiency of generating the electricity). Additional efficiency can be gained from regenerative braking, which allows kinetic energy to be recovered during braking to put power back on the line. Newer electric locomotives ...
