Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed and is able to open the scroll and its seven seals." 6 Then I saw a Lamb, standing as though it had been slain, in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 The Lamb came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one seated on the throne. 8 When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb.
