Individual/Small Group Study
In Revelation 5:1, John sees a scroll in God’s right hand sealed with seven seals—what might this scroll represent, and why is it significant that it is sealed?
Why is no one found worthy to open the scroll in Revelation 5:2–3, and how does this reflect Romans 3:10–18 and the human need for a divine redeemer?
Why does John weep loudly in Revelation 5:4, and what does his sorrow reveal about the importance of someone being able to fulfill God’s plan?
Revelation 5:5 introduces the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Root of David—how do these titles connect with Genesis 49:9–10 and Isaiah 11:1–10, and what do they tell us about Jesus’ authority and messianic identity?
In Revelation 5:6, John sees a Lamb standing as though it had been slain—how does this paradox of a slain yet standing Lamb capture the heart of the gospel message?
What does the imagery of the Lamb having seven horns and seven eyes in Revelation 5:6 communicate about Christ’s power and knowledge?
