Compare Revelation 5:13 with Philippians 2:10-11 and Colossians 1:20. All creation praises God the Father and God the Son; John 5:23. Many people say, “I worship God, but not Jesus Christ.” To ignore Christ is to insult the Father. In heaven, every angel and every raptured saint will honor the Father and the Son and praise them.

After the angels completed their praise, all of creation joined to honor the Lord Jesus Christ. “Every creature” suggests that all creation anticipates the redemption that will come when Christ finally overcomes the enemy and establishes His kingdom.

“The preaching of the cross is foolishness” to sinful man (1Cowibthians 1:18), but it is wisdom to the angels. On earth, Jesus was “crucified in weakness” (2Coribthians 13:4), but in heaven He is lauded for His power. Dishonored on earth, He is honored in glory. Made a curse on the cross, He is today both the recipient and bestower of blessing.

Christ alone is worthy of praise. It is interesting to contrast this doxology with the earthly life of Christ. His enemies said He was worthy of death (John 19:7), but the angels say He is worthy of praise. Men accused Him of working by the power of Satan (Matthew 12:24), but the angels say He is worthy of power. He became poor for our sakes (2Corinthians 8:9), but He deserves all riches.

Singing is a privilege reserved for the saints of God who have experienced the joy of salvation. There are many things angels can do that saints cannot; but an angel cannot experience salvation, nor can he sing with the saints the praises of the Lamb. On the number of the angels, see Daniel 7:10.

The elders sing, but the angelic creatures “say with a loud voice.” There is no evidence in the Bible that angels sing. Job 38:7 states that, at Creation, the “sons of God [angels] shouted for joy.” The “Christmas angels” of Luke 2:13-14 praised God by “saying,” not singing. The multitudes of angels in heaven joined their voices in a great shout of praise when the Lamb took the scroll, but they did not sing.

For hundreds of years, God’s people have been praying for the return of Christ and the righting of wrongs in the world; one day God will answer those prayers. “We shall reign on earth” (Revelation 5:10) is their expectation. This is another proof that Christ will one day reign over a literal kingdom on earth. Revelation 20:4.

The vials of incense typify the prayers of God’s people (Psalms 141:2; Luke 1:10). This does not mean that Christians on earth can access believers now in heaven. It is a symbolic reminder that God remembers the prayers of His people, “Thy kingdom come” (see Matthew 6:10). Note in Revelation 6:9-11 and Revelation 8:1-6 that God will one day answer the prayers of His people who have suffered persecution and trial because of their faith.

When Christ takes the book, the elders (representing the glorified church) sing His praises and magnify His death for the redemption of a lost creation. Heaven sings about the cross. The vials of incense typify the prayers of God’s people (Psalms 141:2; Luke 1:10).

The word “slain” literally means “cut in the throat for a sacrifice.” Christ was not merely killed; He was offered as a sacrifice. His death and resurrection are proof that He is worthy to be the heir of creation, worthy to take the book and open the seals.
