Revelation 5:12saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!"
The setting
Heaven's throne room, ~96 AD. Myriads of angels surrounding God's throne. The slaughtered Lamb stands in the center, bearing wound marks but alive...
The emotion here: overwhelmed by the cosmic scene, struggling to capture infinite worship in human words
The original word
axios (ἄξιος) — worthy of equal honor, deserving the same worship as God
Why it matters
This sevenfold praise (power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, blessing) mirrors Jewish temple liturgy
Read with care
What most readers miss in Revelation 5:12
