REVELATION – CHAPTER 5:1-14
I. THE MAIN FOCAL POINTS
1. Throne of God – The focal point of the entire Bible!
2. Scroll – 7 seals
3. Who can open Earth”

7 eyes,
Standing in the center of the

REVELATION – CHAPTER 5:1-14
II. This chapter answers two huge “Ask the Preacher” questions!
1. Do angels sing?
Job 38:4-7
4
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you
understand.
5
Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a
measuring line across it?
6
On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone-7
while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for
joy?
(NIV)
(And Here in Revelation 5:9,11-12)
REVELATION – CHAPTER 5:1-14
2. The New Testament doesn’t mention the use
of instruments in worship…therefore the church
should not use instruments…right?
(Here and Ephesians 5:19 and Colossians 3:16)
REVELATION – CHAPTER 5:1-14
III. ONE LAST “FOCAL POINT”
Verse 9 – “And they sang a new song;”
What was it? – We HAVE the words!
Why a NEW SONG?
REVELATION – CHAPTER 5:1-14
I LOVE THE OLD HYMNS and THE NEW
SONGS!

REVELATION – CHAPTER 5:1-14
…a song inspired by Psalm 97 ( one of many
companion passages to REV. 4-5) Sanchez wrote
the song in 1977!
Ps 97:1-12
Ps 97:1-12
“The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice.
Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the
foundation of his throne. Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.
His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory...
For you, O LORD, are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all
gods...Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.”
(NIV)
