  • A. Seven
  • B. Five
  • C. Twelve
  • D. Three
  • E. Ten
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.”

Question 2: How many horns and how many eyes did the Lamb have?
  • A. Twelve horns and twelve eyes
  • B. Seven horns and seven eyes
  • C. Four horns and four eyes
  • D. Ten horns and ten eyes
  • E. Six horns and six eyes
View Answer

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.”

Question 3: Who was found worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof?
  • A. The Ancient of days that reigneth
  • B. The angel Gabriel that standeth before God
  • C. The Lion of the tribe of Juda
  • D. The archangel Michael, the prince of heaven
  • E. One of the four and twenty elders
View Answer

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.”

Question 4: How was the book in the right hand of Him on the throne written?
  • A. Written within and on the backside
  • B. In a tongue that none could read
  • C. With the finger of God Himself
  • D. With letters of fire upon the page
  • E. In characters of pure refined gold
View Answer

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.”

Question 5: Why did John weep much at the throne?
  • A. Because no man was found worthy to open the book
  • B. Because the throne was hidden from his sight by the cloud
  • C. Because the angels rebuked him for looking upon the throne
  • D. Because he saw the great judgments that were soon to fall
  • E. Because he remembered the seven churches and their failings
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.”

Question 6: What did the four beasts and four and twenty elders hold when they fell before the Lamb?
  • A. Silver sounding trumpets
  • B. Burning censers of incense
  • C. Scrolls of prophecy sealed
  • D. Iron rods of judgement
  • E. None of the above
View Answer

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.”

Question 7: What did the strong angel proclaim with a loud voice?
  • A. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power
  • B. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda hath prevailed
  • C. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who reigneth
  • D. Who is worthy to open the book and loose the seals
  • E. Come up hither, that I may shew thee the things hereafter
View Answer

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?”

Question 8: What did the new song declare that the Lamb had made the redeemed unto God?
  • A. Sons of the eternal promise above
  • B. A holy and chosen generation forever
  • C. A peculiar people unto God Himself
  • D. Brethren and joint-heirs together with Christ
  • E. Kings and priests unto our God
View Answer

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.”

Question 9: From how many groupings did the Lamb redeem the saints by His blood?
  • A. Two: the Jews and the Gentiles
  • B. Three: the small, the great, and the rich
  • C. Four: kindred, tongue, people, and nation
  • D. Five: kindred, tongue, people, nation, and tribe
  • E. Seven: the seven nations of Canaan
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.”

Question 10: How was the Lamb described as standing in the midst of the throne?
  • A. As newly slain and bleeding
  • B. As one bearing dreadful wounds
  • C. As wearing a vesture dipped in blood
  • D. As it had been slain
  • E. As risen from the dead
View Answer

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.”

Question 11: How many angels did John hear round about the throne, the beasts, and the elders?
  • A. Twelve thousand times twelve thousand
  • B. A thousand times ten thousand, and hundreds of thousands
  • C. An hundred thousand of His holy ones
  • D. Six hundred thousand and more
  • E. Ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands
View Answer

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.”

Question 12: What sevenfold ascription did the angels declare worthy to be received by the Lamb that was slain?
  • A. Power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory, and blessing
  • B. Glory, dominion, honour, salvation, power, blessing, and might
  • C. Honour, majesty, wisdom, dominion, salvation, glory, and praise
  • D. Wisdom, honour, riches, glory, blessing, strength, and dominion
  • E. Power, salvation, glory, honour, blessing, dominion, and majesty
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.”

Question 13: What were the golden vials full of odours identified as?
  • A. The tears of saints on the altar
  • B. The merits of the prophets and apostles
  • C. The prayers of all the saints
  • D. The sweet incense rising before the throne
  • E. The memorial of the works of the righteous
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.”

Question 14: Who said Amen at the close of the worship in heaven?
  • A. The four and twenty elders in worship
  • B. The strong angel who had proclaimed
  • C. The whole multitude of angels combined
  • D. The four beasts about the throne
  • E. The seven Spirits before the throne
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.”

Question 15: From whose right hand did the Lamb take the book?
  • A. The strong angel that did proclaim
  • B. Him that sat upon the throne
  • C. The eldest of the four and twenty
  • D. The first of the four living creatures
  • E. The angel that stood at the altar
View Answer

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.”

Question 16: Where did John search and find no man able to open the book?
  • A. Throughout the seven golden candlesticks of Asia
  • B. In heaven, in earth, and under the earth
  • C. Among the four beasts about the throne
  • D. In all the lands beneath the firmament of heaven
  • E. Among the angels and all the host of heaven
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.”

Question 17: What fourfold ascription did every creature in heaven, earth, and sea give to Him on the throne and to the Lamb?
  • A. Holiness, righteousness, mercy, and truth
  • B. Wisdom, glory, dominion, and salvation
  • C. Blessing, honour, glory, and power
  • D. Salvation, honour, glory, and might
  • E. Praise, honour, majesty, and dominion
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.”

Question 18: What besides the Lion of the tribe of Juda did the elder name the Worthy One?
  • A. The Lord of the harvest
  • B. The Bright and Morning Star
  • C. The Root of David
  • D. The Holy One of Israel
  • E. The Branch of the LORD
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.”

The throne held a sealed book, and no creature in all of heaven or earth could open it. John wept, and the weeping names something true: apart from the Lamb, nothing in creation can carry the weight of what is to come. He alone was found worthy, and the same is still true today. Whatever remains sealed in our days, the same Lamb that stood before the throne still holds it in His hands.
