1. THRONE OF GOD Chapter 4 God rules as creator
Twenty-four elders before the throne
Representative of the redeemed-overcomers
Those who overcome in heaven (see 3:21)
Sit on thrones (3:21)
Dressed in white (3:5)
Have gold crowns (2:10)
Four living creatures before the throne
All recognize God’s sovereignty

2. WORTHY IS THE LAMB Chapter 5

Breaking the seals represents the execution of God’s plan
Sacrificial Lamb worthy
Divinely sealed
Divinely opened
Worthy means moral standing
Lion of Judah – Abraham’s offspring
The root of Jesse – line of David
Has overcome so opens the book
