Revelation 5:6-7

REVELATION—NOTE ON Revelation 5:6 The conquering Lion now appears as a Lamb standing, as... slain. Jesus, God’s servant, was led like a lamb to slaughter. He took on himself the sins of others and achieved their healing (Isaiah 53:4; John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19). The Lamb’s seven horns symbolize complete power (Psalms 18:2; compare Daniel 7:24; Zechariah 1:18). His seven eyes, identified with God’s “seven spirits” (see note on Rev. 1:4–6; also Zechariah 4:10), show that the Lamb’s knowledge extends throughout all the earth.
