This is getting good. This Revelation story is beginning to feel like a supernatural adventure. Clearly John is caught up in the story, as we see him weeping and weeping (v. 4) because it seems no one is going to be able to open the scroll that God is holding in His hand. It's fair to assume that whatever is written on this scroll must be fairly significant.
Enter Jesus, in the dual role of Lion/Lamb. He takes the scroll, preparing to open it, and just then He is bombarded with worship. The 24 elders we met in chapter 4, along with apparently hundreds of thousands or millions of angels sing and shout praises at the Lamb, falling down before Him. A powerful scene to say the least. That is some kind of scroll. That is some kind of Lamb.
