The encounter of celestial worship in Revelation 5 portrays a scene where concentric circles of praise radiate outward, beginning with countless angels surrounding the throne and expanding to include every created being in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and in the sea. At the center of this cosmic liturgy stands the slain yet victorious Lamb alongside God the Father, both receiving identical worship that acknowledges their shared divine nature and authority. In the scene’s climax, all creation offers a fourfold doxology to both the enthroned Father and the Lamb, concluding with the four living creatures affirming with "Amen" and the twenty-four elders prostrating themselves in reverent worship. Because of Calvary and the resurrection, Jesus has established his supremacy and ultimate worthiness, based on his victory and redemptive sacrifice.
