Daniel spoke of the Lamb saying:
“I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and
languages
should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting
dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.”
John spoke and said:
Between the throne and the four living
creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it
had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the
seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And he went and
took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the
throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures
and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a
harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the
saints. And they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood
you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and
people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and
priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
Then I looked, and I heard around the
throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many
angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom
and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
And I heard every creature in heaven
and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in
them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to
the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and
might forever and ever!”
And the four living creatures said,
“Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
And the Lamb says through the Psalmist:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
Ask of me, and I will make the nations
your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your
possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter's
vessel.”
The Lamb spoke through Isaiah saying:
“Listen to me, O Jacob,
and Israel, whom I called!
I am he; I am the first,
and I am the last.
My hand laid the foundation of the
earth,
and my right hand spread out the
heavens;
when I call to them,
they stand forth together.
Luke spoke of the Lamb saying:
And she gave birth to her firstborn son
and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because
there was no place for them in the inn.
And Paul spoke of the Lamb saying:
Though he was in the form of God, (he)
did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied
himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness
of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming
obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
