Summary of Revelation 5:11-14
Millions of angels encircled the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. They were saying how Jesus is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise. All the creatures in heaven and earth gave God and Jesus praise, honor, glory, and power. The four living creatures around the throne said “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 5: Revelation 5:11-14
10a) Jesus is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise. Jesus is worthy because he was slain for us.
b) Worship is all-encompassing. It’s about praise, honor, and glory. It’s important to God and Jesus. It shows I need to be more purposeful in my praise and worship.
11a) John saw all the creatures in heaven and earth gave God and Jesus praise, honor, glory, and power. The four living creatures around the throne said “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped. Everything in heaven and earth praised the Lamb. This is appropriate because God/Jesus is creator over all things. Without them, we’d be nothing.
b) God created mankind in his image and He created all of the animals. He gave man dominion over the earth. God is the Creator of the universe, and we should honor him and give him all of the glory. We also need to care for what God has given us and that includes all of the animals of the earth. We all need to care more about all of God’s creatures.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 5: Revelation 5:11-14
Note that only the elders are singing the song of the redeemed. (This is the 2nd song of praise we see here). Nowhere in the Bible do we see angels redeemed. So, as far as we know, only mankind is redeemed.
Worship in Greek means “to fall down” and “to prostrate.” The elders literally did this.
The entire Bible is a chronicle of God’s plan to redeem His children aka us. How amazing!
Then, we see all of Creation join in for the 3rd song of praise here. Jesus will carry out God’s redemptive plan! Amen!
