Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome, so that he may open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6 And I saw, in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as though slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one seated on the throne. 8 When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

14 The four living creatures were saying, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
