The Lamb and the Scroll

In Revelation 5, John sees God the Father holding a sealed scroll. It represents the title deed to the earth, signifying redemption through divine judgment. No one in heaven or on earth is worthy to open it until the Lion from the tribe of Judah, and the Root of David, steps up as the slain Lamb. His worthiness prompts worship from the elders, angels, and all creation, ushering in the fulfillment of redemption.
