Revelation 5:13
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Revelation 5:13
Every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them, join the praise: blessing, honor, glory, and power belong to the One on the throne and to the Lamb forever. The anthem encompasses all of creation, acknowledging the unity of divine sovereignty and redemptive work across all realms. The universal scope emphasizes that salvation and worship are not confined to a people or place but extend to all creation.
This ultimate doxology proclaims the eternal scope of God’s reign and the Lamb’s worthiness. It confirms the integrated plan of creation’s restoration and universal praise. The harmony of the whole creation worshiping God reflects the intended cosmic order.
Let your life echo this universal praise: live with gratitude to God, and extend blessing to others. Recognize God’s sovereignty over ecosystems, cultures, and communities. In daily life, cultivate a posture of thankfulness, and reflect God’s glory in how you treat people, steward resources, and care for creation.
