       Revelation 5 tells us that it is the Lord Jesus Christ who has been found worthy to open the scroll and each of its seals in Heaven. Many theologians have noted this scroll with the seals on it to represent the title deed of the earth. Indeed, Jesus was the only one in Heaven who was found worthy to open it. This is agreed by the four-living creatures (angels), the 24-elders, other angels, and all the animals, both in Heaven and inside the earth. For that reason, it would make sense that it is the title deed, since the world belongs to God, and he is making Jesus’ enemies a footstool for his feet. That then sets up the scene for us. Revelation chapter 6, starting in verse 1. The text says: “Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.” (Revelation 6:1, 2, ESV).
