Revelation 5 is a chapter that describes the vision of the heavenly throne of God and the Lamb, which is worthy of opening the book sealed with seven seals. It is a chapter of worship and recognition of the sovereignty of God and the lamb. Here are five Bible verses that relate to the topics covered in Revelation 5:
Isaiah 53:7: "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; as a lamb was taken to the slaughterhouse, and as the sheep changes before his shelters, he did not open his mouth." This verse describes the lamb that is taken to the sacrifice, which can be seen as a reference to the Lamb of God in Revelation 5.
Psalm 24:7-10: "Rise up, O doors, your heads; Rise up, O eternal entrances, that among the King of Glory. Who is this king of glory? Battle. Rise up, O doors, your heads; Rise up, O eternal entrances, that among the King of Glory. Who is this king of glory? The Lord of hosts; He is the king of glory. " This psalm describes the triumphal entry of the king of glory, which is similar to the description of the lamb in Revelation 5.
John 1:29: "The next day, John saw Jesus, who came to Him, and said, Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." John the Baptist presents Jesus as the Lamb of God, which can be a reference to the Lamb of Revelation 5.
Hebrews 9:12: "Not through the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered once and all into the Holy of Holies, having obtained an eternal redemption." This verse speaks of the unique sacrifice of Christ, which is similar to the sacrifice of the Lamb in Revelation 5.
1 Peter 1:18-19: "Knowing that it was not through corruptible things, such as silver or gold, that you were rescued from your futile procedure that your parents have legislated you, but by the precious blood, as of a lamb without defect and without macula, the blood of Christ. " This verse speaks of the rescue of believers for the blood of Christ, which is similar to the idea of the Lamb of God in Revelation 5.
