Read Revelation 5
Key Verse: Revelation 5:9 “And they sang a new song: ‘You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain and with Your blood You purchased men for God from every trice and language and people and nation.” John now sees a “scroll” in “the right hand of Him […]
