  2. Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe... (Ezekiel 2:9-10) Cracking the Code(Context)

  3. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside… (Revelation 5:4) “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”… (Revelation 5:5)

  4. The Lion is the Lamb

  5. And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. (Revelation 5:8)

  6. If it Was That Then – What Now? (Contextualise) John is not only the implied author but functions as a model for the ideal reader as well. Thus his weeping at the despair of the world without a heavenly advocate (5:4) implies the tone with which we are expected to approach this devastating potential situation. (Craig S. Keener, N.I.V. Application Commentary)
