John wept much, because no man was worthy to take the scroll and open it's seals. Inside the scroll was the final dominion and possession over earth of all of man's struggles, suffering and future glory. Many had tried to take possession over earth. But no man had that authority. No man was worthy. John felt the pain and struggle of all mankind waiting for freedom. John finally turned around and expected to see the mighty Lion of Judah, but instead saw the little lamb, slain. He realized it was the sacrifice and blood shed that gave Jesus the right of possession over earth. All at once all of heaven broke out in glorious praise, "worthy is the Lamb that was slain" was their chorus. The 24 elders fell on their faces in worship. The four beings around the throne lifted high worship with the resounding shouts of holy, holy, holy is the lamb. Then John saw the earth and all creatures on the earth begin to praise their maker.. for their hour of deliverance had come. The only one who could bind Satan, release the earth from the curse, and bring the long awaited kingdom from heaven to earth in it's finality. This is the 5th chapter of Revelation. One of the most glorious chapters in the bible!
