Revelation 5

John sees a book sealed with seven seals in the right hand of Him who sits on the throne, and no man in heaven or earth is found worthy to open it. The Lamb who was slain — the Lion of the tribe of Judah — takes the book, and all heaven erupts in worship: "Thou art worthy...for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood."
