This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain; the Lamb mentioned Rev_5:6, with seven horns and seven eyes, viz. Jesus Christ.
To receive power, and riches; he is worthy of those horns he weareth, emblems of power and strength given unto him; for all power was given him in heaven and earth.
And wisdom; and of those seven eyes he hath, i.e. of the spirit of wisdom, Isa_11:2, the riches of grace and wisdom.
And strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing; and of all the homage, glory, praise, blessing, and obedience, which people can give him. I know not whether there be any thing in the observation made by some, that the number of things here mentioned, of which the Lamb is worthy, answereth the number of the seven Spirits of God, before mentioned.
