“One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals.”

Revelation 5:5

The elders know who the Lamb is and what He is capable of. He is their everlasting Saviour and has given His life to save them from sin and death. They always live to praise His name and worship and adore Him who their souls love. They cast their crowns at His feet, once pierced for them, but now glorified and lifted to heavens highest place. 

The Angel calls for the books to be opened and the seals to be revealed. There is no one found worth to open the seals and reveal the history they hide. John finds tears drenching his face in disappointment and hurt at the fact that no one can be found. 

“One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals.”

Revelation 5:5

The worthy One is none other that the Lion of Judah, The very root of the house of King David, He is the King above all Kings and He has overcome sin and death and is therefore worthy to open the books.

The Lion of Judah will conquer all our sin and release us from the power of death and hell. He is the all conquering Saviour and the Lord of all. Only He is worthy to open the books of life and the only One who is worthy of our praise.
