Revelation 5 Quiz Questions and Answers
View Answer
Answer 1: A: The book was sealed with seven seals, the same prophetic number that governs the trumpets, vials, and churches throughout the book. The opening of these seals begins in chapter six.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:1, “a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”

Answer 2: B: The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, the horns signifying full power and the eyes identified as the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:6, “having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.”

Answer 3: C: The Lion of the tribe of Juda is named first by an elder before John sees Him as a Lamb. The two images, lion and lamb, name the same Christ in different aspects.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:5, “behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

Answer 4: A: The book was written within and on the backside, signifying that its message was full and could hold no more. Distractor C names the writing of the law given to Moses, not this book of judgment.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:1, “a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”
View Answer
Answer 5: A: John wept much because no creature could be found worthy to open the book. His weeping ends only when an elder tells him the Lion of the tribe of Juda has prevailed.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:4, “And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book.”

Answer 6: E: The KJV records that every one of them held harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. None of the listed options appears in the text. The plausible alternatives draw from other worship imagery in Revelation but are not what verse eight records.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:8, “having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.”

Answer 7: D: The strong angel’s challenge is not a verdict but a question. It exposes the worthlessness of every creature before drawing out the One who alone can answer. Distractor A is the song of the angels in verse twelve, not the proclamation.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:2, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?”

Answer 8: E: The Lamb made them kings and priests unto God, joining the two offices that were kept distinct under the law. The song adds that they shall reign on the earth.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:10, “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
View Answer
Answer 9: C: The new song names a fourfold scope: kindred, tongue, people, and nation. Distractor D uses the same KJV vocabulary but adds a fifth element and gives a wrong count, making it the sharpest trap in this set.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:9, “and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.”

Answer 10: D: The Lamb stood as it had been slain, the perfect tense of completed sacrifice now standing alive. The wounds remain, but death is past. Distractor C names the vesture of Revelation 19, not this vision.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:6, “stood a Lamb as it had been slain.”

Answer 11: E: The number was beyond reckoning: ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands. The phrase echoes Daniel’s vision of the Ancient of days, but the worship here is given to the Lamb.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:11, “and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.”
View Answer
Answer 12: A: The sevenfold ascription must be held in its precise order: power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory, and blessing. The distractors mix real terms from the text in wrong orders and insert terms that do not appear in the verse.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:12, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”
View Answer
Answer 13: C: The vials are explicitly identified. Their fragrance is not their own but the prayers of the saints, gathered up and presented at the throne in the moment of worship.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:8, “and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.”
View Answer
Answer 14: D: Only the four beasts said Amen. The elders did not say Amen; they fell down and worshipped. Distractor A is a strong trap because both groups were present, but the text distinguishes what each group did.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:14, “And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.”

Answer 15: B: The Lamb came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne. The transfer marks the moment when the prophetic scroll passes from the Father to the Son.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:7, “And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.”
View Answer
Answer 16: B: The search took in three realms: heaven, earth, and under the earth. The same triad reappears in verse thirteen, where every creature in those realms ascribes glory to the Lamb.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:3, “And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.”
View Answer
Answer 17: C: The closing ascription of every creature in the four realms is fourfold: blessing, honour, glory, and power. The earlier sevenfold ascription in verse twelve was the angels’ alone.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:13, “Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.”
View Answer
Answer 18: C: The elder names two titles together: the Lion of the tribe of Juda and the Root of David. Both root the Lamb in the messianic line of promise to Israel.
KJV Reference: Revelation 5:5, “behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed.”
