What does the Bible say about the book in Revelation 5?
Answered in 1 source
The book in Revelation 5 symbolizes God's eternal purpose for the redemption of His people, sealed until Christ, the Lamb, is worthy to open it.
In Revelation 5, the book, or scroll, represents God's divine plan and purpose for human history, particularly concerning the redemption of His people. This scroll holds the decrees of God, written before the foundation of the world, detailing how all events will unfold to glorify Christ. It is sealed with seven seals, indicating that no mere man, whether in heaven or on earth, is worthy to open it. Only Christ, who was slain for our sins, is worthy to take the scroll from the Father's hand, opening it to reveal God's plan for His elect. This act assures believers of God’s providence and redemptive work throughout history.
