What does Revelation 5:7 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Revelation 5:7
And he came
He drew nigh to the throne of God, he engaged his heart to
approach unto him, and came up even to his seat, which a mere
creature, without a Mediator, cannot do:
and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat
upon the
throne; (See Gill on
Revelation 5:1); it being given unto him, as in (
Revelation 1:1 ) ; and a
commission and authority to open it, and make it manifest to
others, and to accomplish the several events, in the several
periods of time, it points unto.
