Chapter Fifteen/"Who Is Worthy to Open the Scroll?" - A Swelling Anthem

In the scene described by John, the hosts are rendering melodious acclaim to Jesus in acknowledgement of his faithfulness and his heavenly authority. In this, they are joined by voices from the earthly realm as these two share in praising both the Father and the Son. Just as the achievements of a human son can bring great credit to parents so Jesus' loyal  course redounds among all creation the glory God the Father." Thus, John goes on to report: "And every creature that is in heaven and on earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all the things in them, I heard saying: 'To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and honor and the glory and the might forever and ever.' - REVELATION 5:13.
