Revelation Chapter Five

Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.

Notes: The one who sat on the throne:
Da 7:9 "I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took [His] seat; His vesture [was] like white snow, And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne [was] ablaze with flames, Its wheels [were] a burning fire. 10 "A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened.

The right hand of Him who sat on the throne:
Ac 2:32 "This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses. 33 "Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear. 34 "For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he himself says: 'The Lord said to my Lord," Sit at My right hand, 35 Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet. "'

Ps 110:1 Yahweh says to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand, Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet." 2 Yahweh will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, [saying], "Rule in the midst of Your enemies." 3 Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power; In holy array, from the womb of the dawn, Your youth are to You [as] the dew. 4 Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind, "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek." 5 Yahweh is at Your right hand; He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath.

Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?" 3 And no one in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look into it. 4 And I [began] to weep greatly, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look into it; 5 and one of the elders said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals."

Notes: In the right hand of Him was a book sealed up with seven seals:
The Lion that is from the tribe of Judah:
Heb 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

Ge 49:8 "Judah, your brothers shall praise you; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father's sons shall bow down to you. 9 "Judah is a lion's whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He couches, he lies down as a lion, And as a lion, who dares rouse him up? 10 "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him [shall be] the obedience of the peoples. 11 "He ties [his] foal to the vine, And his donkey's colt to the choice vine; He washes his garments in wine, And his robes in the blood of grapes.

Lk 24:25 And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 "Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?" 27 And beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
(Beginning with Moses and the prophets, the Scriptures explained are referring to Jesus himself.)

Jesus is able to open the book and its seven seals.

Professor John, I want more...

You have posted in this forum: Sun Mar 02, 2008 8:31 pm Post subject:

Yes...more than simple quotes and one sentence of redundant commentary...please.

Is a long winded and very lengthy commentary really necessary or any more important than a simple to the point commentary?

Consider the council of our Lord in the following:m Lk 24:25 And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 "Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?" 27 And beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
(Beginning with Moses and the prophets, the Scriptures explained are referring to Jesus himself.)

The admonition of Christ was, "Search the scriptures, for they are they which testify of me."

Perhaps, if we all took the command and counsel of the Master to heart in all seriousness, we might not need any comment on the scripture. Idea

That is all well and good...but in a "discussion forum", it would be nice if the poster added a simple explanation such as;
"I think these versus relate to each other because..." rather than leaving it to our imaginations to ascertain their intentions.

Warmest greetings Seekinghokmah,

I can appreciate the point you are making. We should however also remember that this website is international in scope. Having said that, we should patiently understand that posts herein are flavored with unique input from many varied cultures.

For example, if I am flying a small plane to a village in Alaska, one simply makes sure that main street is clear of cars, dogs, quad runners and pedestrians and then simply land on the main street, taxi up to the general store and gas up just like any car or truck would do. This is perfectly acceptable in Alaska, however this would be totally unacceptable in most of the lower 48 states. As we say in Alaska, “we do things a bit different up here”.

I am by no means an expert on how different cultures approach a discussion subject. The method in which John presents a subject may in fact be very appropriate and normal in China. On the other hand the way and manner in which we present an issue on this or any other forum may seem very strange or unusual to our wonderful neighbors in China.

I guess we should not leave things to our imaginations, but rather. let the Holy Spirit give us understanding... Wink

I quite agree R.T. and I do not mean to be contentious or disrespectful to John, only to encourage him to provide a little more input and self expression. I am not Chinese myself, but my wife is...and I was a member of a Chinese church for many years. It is indeed a cultural trait for some Chinese individuals to be less direct and prefer to "infer" things rather than simply state them outright...but this is a western forum in the United States with a primarily western membership...as such I would encourage John to be more direct in his approach here at TCD.

Blessings to you both! Smile

It's not a matter of a cultural thing, I think. It's just the truth. It's just the Word of God. This page is for "the Word". His posts are absolutely in the right place! Be blessed, you two, and all readers of the Word!

Yes, this section is for the Word...or rather for "discussion" about the word, not just pasting it verbatim. If all we wanted was the word we could have put up a link to an online Bible instead of a section for discussion. I appreciate your devotion to John, davidson, but I am only offering a constructive suggestion...not destructive crtiticism.

You have posted in this forum: Wed Mar 05, 2008 1:40 pm Post subject:

To clarify my point, so I don't come off sounding snarky or contentious...I like what John has posted here and I understand what he is doing. My issue is simply that the way he presents it; with little or no exlplanation, is not really generating any discussion...and discussion around these points is, well, the whole point.

Perhaps, Davidson, you could offer your own perspective on the verses John posted and WHY you find these verses interesting and pertinent? You ask John to give you more...why? What are you looking for?

Rev 5:6 And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
Notes: Jesus is the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world:

The Lamb, see:
Jn 1:29 The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Slain:
Jn 2:21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. 22 When therefore He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

Jesus’ body is the temple of Yahweh. The curtain of the temple was torn in two, see:
Mk 15:37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
The curtain refers to Jesus’ body.

Ac 1:2 until the day when He was taken up, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen. 3 To these He also presented Himself alive, after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over [a period of] forty days, and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.
Ac 1:9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
(So the flesh of Jesus was taken up to heaven.)

Heb 10:16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws upon their heart, And upon their mind I will write them," [He then says], 17 "And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more." 18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer [any] offering for sin. 19 Since therefore, brothers, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, His flesh,
(The law written in the heart, entering the most holy place through the curtain, the curtain is the flesh of Jesus.)

The seven Spirits of God:
Isa 11:1 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit. 2 And the Spirit of Yahweh will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.

Rev 5:7 And He came, and He took [it] out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. 8 And when He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Notes: Took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne:

The book refers to the book of the law, see:
2Ch 34:14 When they were bringing out the silver which had been brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Yahweh [given] by Moses. 15 And Hilkiah responded and said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh." And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan. 16 Then Shaphan brought the book to the king and reported further word to the king, saying, "Everything that was entrusted to your servants they are doing. 17 "They have also emptied out the silver which was found in the house of Yahweh, and have delivered it into the hands of the supervisors and the workmen." 18 Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king saying, "Hilkiah the priest gave me a book." And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king.
The house of Yahweh is Jesus’ body, see:

Jn 2:21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

The silver:
Ps 12:6 The words of Yahweh are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.

2Ki 22:8 Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh." And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan who read it. 9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king and brought back word to the king and said, "Your servants have emptied out the silver that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh." 10 Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king saying, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king.

2Ki 17:13 Yet Yahweh warned Israel and Judah, through all His prophets [and] every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets." 14 However, they did not listen, but stiffened their neck like their fathers, who did not believe in Yahweh their God.

Da 9:9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him; 10 nor have we obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God, to walk in His laws which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

Paul’s letters are in accordance with the Law:
Ac 24:14 "But this I admit to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect I do serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law, and that is written in the Prophets;

The law is the honored name of Yahweh:
Dt 28:58 "If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honored and awesome name, Yahweh your God,

Mal 2:1 "And now, this commandment is for you, O priests. 2 "If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name," says Yahweh of hosts, "then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them [already], because you are not taking [it] to heart.

Mt 5:17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.

1Ki 9:2 that Yahweh appeared to Solomon a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 And Yahweh said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your supplication, which you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built by putting My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 4 "And as for you, if you will walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you [and] will keep My statutes and My ordinances, 5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I promised to your father David, saying,' You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.'

2Ch 7:12 Then Yahweh appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 "If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, 14 and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 "Now My eyes shall be open and My ears attentive to the prayer [offered] in this place. 16 "For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 17 "And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked even to do according to all that I have commanded you and will keep My statutes and My ordinances, 18 then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David, saying,' You shall not lack a man [to be] ruler in Israel.'

The law is to be performed forever:
Ps 119:43 And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I wait for Your ordinances. 44 So I will keep your law continually, Forever and ever.

Ps 119:108 O accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, And teach me your ordinances. 109 My life is continually in my hand, Yet I do not forget your law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, Yet I have not gone astray from your precepts. 111 I have inherited your testimonies forever, For they are the joy of my heart. 112 I have inclined my heart to perform your statutes Forever, [even] to the end.

Ps 119:151 You are near, O Lord, And all Your commandments are truth. 152 Of old I have known from Your testimonies, That You have founded them forever.

Mt 5:17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. 18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished.

Lk16: 16 "The Law and the Prophets [were proclaimed] until John; since then the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. 17 "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail.

Christ is the end of the law:
Ro 10:1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for [their] salvation. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3 For not knowing about God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Christ is the eternal Spirit:
Heb 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

1Co 3:23 and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.
(Christ is God. Jesus is God. Yahweh is God. The law is the glorious name of Yahweh.)

Yahweh speaks to Ezekiel from the scroll:
Eze 2:1 Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!" 2 And as He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard [Him] speaking to me.

Eze 2:8 "Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you." 9 Then I looked, behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll [was] in it. 10 When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back; and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.

Eze 3:1 Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel." 2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me this scroll. 3 And He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach, and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you." Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth. 4 Then He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them. 5 "For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, [but] to the house of Israel, 6 nor to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to them who should listen to you; 7 yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me. Surely the whole house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate. 8 "Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads. 9 "Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house." 10 Moreover, He said to me, "Son of man, take into your heart all My words which I shall speak to you, and listen closely. 11 "And go to the exiles, to the sons of your people, and speak to them and tell them, whether they listen or not, 'Thus says Yahweh God.'"

Eze 3:16 Now it came about at the end of seven days that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 17 "Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me.

The stomach filled with the scroll is the fountain of living water:
Zec 13:1 "In that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.

Jer 17:13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You will be put to shame. Those who turn away will be written down on earth, Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even Yahweh.

Jer 2:13 "For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, The fountain of living waters, To hew for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns, That can hold no water.

Jn 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.

Jn 7:37 Now on the last day, the great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his stomach shall flow rivers of living water.'" 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet [given,] because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Having a harp:
Ps 49:1 (For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.) Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, 2 Both low and high, Rich and poor together. 3 My mouth will speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart [will be] understanding. 4 I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle on the harp.
(A harp: means to express riddles in the Holy Spirit.)

Golden bowls full of incense, incense:
Ps 141:1 (A Psalm of David.) O Lord, I call upon You; come quickly to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You! 2 May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.

Rev 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.

2Co 12:19 All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. [Actually,] it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved.
Speaking in Christ in the sight of God.

Golden bowls:
Heb 9:4 having a golden altar (or bowl) of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which [was] a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant.
(A bowl or an altar)

Rev 8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Rev 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book, and to break its seals; for You were slain, and did purchase for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
Notes: Sang a new song:

Ps 40:3 And He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear, And will trust in Yahweh.
The blood refers to the life:

Dt 12:23 "Only be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and do not eat life with meat.

Jn 6:62 ["What] then if you should behold the Son of Man ascending where He was before? 63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

1Jn 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness that God has borne concerning His Son. 11 And the witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
(Speak the words of God with the mouth to have life:

Ro 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart"-- that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; 10 for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
The Word is in the mouth. Confess that the Word is Jesus and the Lord, resulting in salvation.)

Purchase men:
1Co 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

Ac 20:28 "Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

Rev 14:4 These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins. These [are] the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

For God:
Jn 16:25 "These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will speak no more to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.

Jn 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. 29 "My Father, who has given [them] to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father's hand. 30 "I and the Father are one."

Jn 17:20 "I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, [are] in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that You did send Me. 22 "And the glory which You have given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that You did send Me, and did love them, even as You did love Me. 24 "Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may behold My glory, which You have given Me; for You did love Me before the foundation of the world. 25 "O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You did send Me; 26 and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith You did love Me may be in them, and I in them. "

1Co 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, 24 then [comes] the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death. 27 For He has put all things in subjection under His feet. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. 28 And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, that God may be all in all.

Rev 5:10 "And You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth."

Notes: To be a kingdom and priests:
1Pe 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God's] own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy .

Isa 61:6 But you will be called the priests of Yahweh; You will be spoken of [as] ministers of our God. You will eat the wealth of nations, And in their riches you will boast. 7 Instead of your shame [you will have a] double [portion,] And [instead of] humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double [portion] in their land, Everlasting joy will be theirs.

Php 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.

Rev 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us, and released us from our sins by His blood, 6 and He has made us [to be] a kingdom, priests to His God and Father; to Him [be] the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. Even so. Amen.

Reign upon the earth:
2Ti 2:10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus [and] with [it] eternal glory. 11 It is a trustworthy statement: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him; 12 If we endure, we shall also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us; 13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; for He cannot deny Himself.

Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there arose loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become [the kingdom] of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever." 16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying, "We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.

Rev 5:11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.

Notes: Those who preach the Law are angels:
Jn 1:17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Ac 7:53 you who received the law as ordained by angels, and [yet] did not keep it.

The prophets preached the law:
2Ki 17:13 Yet Yahweh warned Israel and Judah, through all His prophets [and] every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets."

Da 9:9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him; 10 nor have we obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God, to walk in His laws which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

Lk 20:34 And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; 36 for neither can they die anymore, for they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37 "But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the [passage about the burning] bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 "Now He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to Him."

Thousands of thousands of angels, see:
Da 7:9 "I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took [His] seat; His vesture [was] like white snow, And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne [was] ablaze with flames, Its wheels [were] a burning fire. 10 "A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened.

Da 7:13 "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. 14 "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations, and [men of every] language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.
( His angels, mighty in strength, do His will:

Ps 103:19 Yahweh has established His throne in the heavens; And His sovereignty rules over all. 20 Bless Yahweh, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! 21 Bless Yahweh, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will. 22 Bless Yahweh, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless Yahweh, O my soul!)

Rev 5:13 And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, [be] blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever." 14 And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped.

Notes: Which is in heaven, see:
Ne 9:13 "Then You did come down on Mount Sinai, And did speak with them from heaven; You did give to them just ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments.
(The laws, statutes, commandments and ordinances are the words spoken from heaven.)

Isa 51:16 "And I have put My words in your mouth, and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, 'You are My people.'"

Which is on the earth:
One’s own words belong to the earth:
Isa 29:4 Then you shall be brought low; From the earth you shall speak, And from the dust [where] you are prostrate, Your words [shall come.] Your voice shall also be like that of a spirit from the ground, And your speech shall whisper from the dust.

Jn 3:31 "He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

Under the earth (Sheol):
Ps 9:17 The wicked will return to Sheol, all the nations who forget God.

Pr 1:10 My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent. 11 If they say, "Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us ambush the innocent without cause; 12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;

Pr 7:26 For many are the victims she has cast down, And numerous are all her slain. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol, Descending to the chambers of death.

Pr 9:13 The woman of folly is boisterous, [She is] naive, and knows nothing. 14 And she sits at the doorway of her house, On a seat by the high places of the city, 15 Calling to those who pass by, Who are making their paths straight: 16 "Whoever is naive, let him turn in here," And to him who lacks understanding she says, 17 "Stolen water is sweet; And bread [eaten] in secret is pleasant." 18 But he does not know that the dead are there, [That] her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
Hab 2:5 "Furthermore, wine betrays the haughty man, So that the Chaldeans does not stay at home. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, And he is like death, never satisfied. He also gathers to himself all nations And collects to himself all peoples.
(Does not stay at home, see:

Heb 3:6 but Christ [was faithful] as a Son over His house whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

The Chaldeans:
Da 1:4 to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.

Eze 12:13 I shall also spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. And I shall bring him to Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.)

On the sea, the Babylon sea:
Jer 51:36 Therefore thus says Yahweh, "Behold, I am going to plead your case And exact full vengeance for you; And I shall dry up the sea of Babylon And make her fountain dry.

The Red Sea:
Jer 49:20 Therefore hear the plan of Yahweh which He has planned against Edom, and His purposes which He has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely they will drag them off, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their pasture desolate because of them. 21 The earth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the Red Sea.
The sea of the Philistines, the Red Sea:

Ex 23:31 And I will fix your boundary from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River [Euphrates;] for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.

Between earth and heaven:
Eze 2:1 Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!" 2 And as He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard [Him] speaking to me.
Eze 2:8 "Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you." 9 Then I looked, behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll [was] in it. 10 When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back; and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.
Eze 3:1 Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel." 2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me this scroll. 3 And He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach, and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you." Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth. 4 Then He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.
Eze 8:1 And it came about in the sixth year, on the fifth [day] of the sixth month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of Yahweh God fell on me there. 2 Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from His loins and downward [there was] the appearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like the appearance of glowing metal. 3 And He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner [court,] where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was [located.]
(Ezekiel is filled with the scroll in his belly, and Yahweh lifts him up between heaven and earth.)
