Bible Question: What is the book of Revelation 5:1?

Bible Answer: forgus,

"If Revelation 4 is the Liturgy of Creation, then Revelation 5 begins the Liturgy of Redemption. Significantly, the chapter begins by showing us a scroll (Greek: biblion) sealed with seven seals and held in the right hand of "him who sat on the throne." What is more, the scroll has writing on both sides like another extremely important
document in Jewish and Christian history: the Ten Commandments (Exodus 32:15). This is probably much more than a coincidence. For one of the main burdens of the New Testament is that when Messiah comes, in the words of the Samaritan woman, "he will show us all things" (John 4:25). Or, as Matthew says, he "will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world" (Matthew 13:35). In other words, there is the sense throughout the Old Testament that the revelation which God has entrusted Israel is, at least in part, still "hidden" and not fully comprehended. It points to a mysterious end or goal. However, the New Testament announces that the mysterious
goal of the Old Testament has been revealed in Jesus Christ himself, to whom "the law and the prophets bear witness" (Romans 3:21). Until the coming of Christ and his death and resurrection, the full meaning of the Old Testament was still veiled. After his death and resurrection, the very first thing that the risen Christ begins to do is to "open the scroll" and show his Church that it was he himself who was hidden in the Old Testament. This is exactly what the Risen Christ does on the Emmaus Road when "beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself" and declared, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem" (Luke 24:27, 46-47). In other words, it is only by his death and resurrection that the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world "conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals." No one else in heaven or on earth can fully reveal the meaning of the law and the prophets, because no one else in heaven or on earth is its author and object. The Old Testament, according to both the Risen Jesus and the book of Revelation, is actually pointing to Christ. As St. Augustine says, the New Testament is hidden in the Old and the Old Testament is only fully revealed in the New. That is why St. Paul tells us that everything in the Old Testament was "written down for our instruction" (1 Corinthians 10:11). Only the Lamb who was slain and conquered death can show the ultimate meaning of the law and the prophets."
