ed all things, and on account of thy will they are and were
created.

4 [5:1]And I saw at the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book
written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. [5:2]And I
saw a mighty angel proclaim with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open
the book and to break its seven seals? [5:3]And no one in heaven
above, nor on the earth, nor under the earth, could open the book, or
look in it. [5:4]And I wept much because no one was found worthy to
open the book or to look in it. [5:5]And one of the elders said to me,
Weep not; behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David,
has conquered, he is opening the book and its seven seals.

5 [5:6]And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four cherubs and
in the midst of the elders, a lamb standing as if killed, having seven
horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all
the earth. [5:7]And he came and took [the book] from the right hand of
him that sat on the throne.

[men] from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, [5:10]and hast
made them a kingdom and priests, and they shall reign on the earth.

of the cherubs, and of the elders,--and the number of them was ten
thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands,-- [5:12]saying
with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was killed to receive power,
and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and
blessing. [5:13]And every creature which is in heaven, and on the
earth, and under the earth, and those which are on the sea, and all
things in them, all heard I saying, To him that sits on the throne and
to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power forever and ever.
[5:14]And the four cherubs said, Amen. And the elders fell down and
worshipped:

THE FIRST SIX SEALS OF THE BOOK OF PROPHECY, THE SEALING OF GOD'S
SERVANTS, ETC.

1 [6:1]AND I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and heard
one of the four cherubs say like the sound of thunder, Come. [6:2]And I
saw, and behold, a
