How do we know that Jesus is the one who opens the seals in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the sole one worthy to open the seals, as depicted in Revelation 5, showcasing His unique authority and role as the Lamb.

In Revelation 5, it is established that no one in heaven or on earth was worthy to open the seals of the scroll except the Lamb, representing Jesus Christ. His worthiness is tied to His sacrificial death and resurrection, which secured the redemption of God's people. When Jesus opens the seals, He reveals God's purposes throughout history, affirming His sovereignty over all events, including those that may seem chaotic or violent. This divine control runs throughout the narrative of Revelation, reminding believers that even in calamity, Christ reigns and works for the good of His chosen ones, as indicated in Ephesians 1:11.
