Amongst other things, their presence near the throne is an echo of the time at Sinai when the "seventy elders" of Israel were summoned to see a vision of the appearance of God. (Exodus ch24). That was part of the argument. It's all in that thread.

I kind of agree with this statement. The Lamb becomes more than just one man. The Lamb is a body. Initially, Jesus was the first, was obedient until death and was worthy. He is the only begotten Son, but to all who believe in him and are baptized into his body, they become part of the body of 'The Lamb'. Thus the breaking of bread and communion.

Revelation 21:7
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son

Revelation 5:1
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals

Jesus overcame and is sat down on his Fathers throne. Now he is the one who holds the keys (or book) and gives it to whomever he wills. The people he gives it to now follow the same footsteps, they live through each of the seals until the breaking of the last seal, then they shall become worthy also to sit with him on his throne.

Thank you for those comments.
I still think, though, that the focus has to be on Jesus himself, because he was the one who "ransomed men for God", as in the song of the elders.
That's where the power to open the scroll has come from, in the fact that he has carried through the act of Redemption first.

I realy wish the bible stated what the scrolls said. And my thought on why the lamb is the only one that can open them is he has the seven spirits of god and their are seven seals.Each spirit of god opens a seal,So maybe i answered my question,maybe the scrolls just state how the spirit of god operates.

Jesus is the lamb of god,The lion of the tribe of david. It seemed he was a slain lamb then he took back his kingdom like a lion.

"the sin of the world" is the reason why the seals are there.

That is the smartest thing i have heard,It's the truth. Those disasters that happen when the seals are opened are to destroy sin. And sin is sealing the people inside of itself. And their are seven deadly sins That god can always see.

Well,the seals are answered,the # will hit the fan.

As for what the scroll says, there's also the suggestion that I made elsewhere;
that the contents of the scroll are the events of ch6. Not the description of the events, but the events themselves.
Every time a seal is broken, a little more of the scroll opens, and something happens.
