13And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
14And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Verse explanation
The list of seven qualities attributed to the Lamb - power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing - mimics the kind of acclamation the Roman world gave to the emperor, only here redirected to the slain Lamb.
