In heaven, God held a scroll sealed with seven seals. An angel asked, “Who is worthy to open it?” Nobody could. John cried.
Then an elder said, “Don't cry! The Lion of Judah has won! He can open it!” John looked and saw a Lamb who had been killed but was alive again. It was Jesus!
Everyone in heaven sang a new song: “Worthy is the Lamb!” Then everyone in the whole universe joined in!
