The Throne Room
Revelation 4:1–5:14 · days 10–11
Chapters 4 and 5 lift the curtain on heaven. God sits on the throne and is worshipped by the living creatures and the elders, and a scroll that no one can open is opened by the Lamb who was slain. Everything that follows in the book flows from this scene.

The Lion Who Is a Lamb
