I, John, looked and heard the voices of many angels
who surrounded the throne
and the living creatures and the elders.
They were countless in number, and they cried out in a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength,
honor and glory and blessing.”
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth
and under the earth and in the sea,
everything in the universe, cry out:
“To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor, glory and might,
forever and ever.”
The four living creatures answered, “Amen, “
and the elders fell down and worshiped.

:11 The chorus widened as many angels joined the living creatures and the elders, a choir numbering millions, perhaps billions, all participating in perfect harmony.

5:12 Their tribute is one that believers will sing throughout eternity. “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive:

power—over my life, the church, the world, the universe;
riches—all my silver and my gold;
wisdom—the finest of my intellectual powers;
strength—my physical strength for His service;
honor—a single, pure desire to magnify Him in all my ways;
glory—my entire life devoted to glorifying Him;
blessing”—all my powers of praise for Him.

5:13 Now the music becomes a diapason, a full, deep burst of harmonious song. Every creature ... in heaven and on the earth joins in heaping eternal blessing and honor and glory and power on God the Father and on the Lamb.

This verse parallels Phi_2:10 and 11, which insists that every knee will bow at the name of Christ and every tongue confess Him Lord. No single, specific time is mentioned, but it will obviously be after the saved are raised to everlasting life and then after the unsaved are raised to everlasting judgment. Believers will have already acknowledged Jesus as Lord; unbelievers will then be compelled to honor Him. Universal homage to the Father and the Son is an assured fact.

5:14 The finale! As the four living ones say “Amen”, the elders fall down and worship the enthroned Lord who lives forever and ever.

Giggly G,

I think that the wisdom in Revelation 5:11-14--specifically Verse 12--refers to the attributes that God confirmed in Jesus (The Lamb) through his ministry, healing, miracles, Crucifixion, death, resurrection and ascendancy. This is God's wisdom: Christ came to redeem of us our sins so that we can attain eternal life, to show us how to live righteously (i.e. according to His teachings), and to make striving for holiness (i.e. imitating Christ as much as possible) the first objective for the rest of our lives.

Keep Smiling,
Reggie:)

to the "ONE"(God) who sits on the throne and the Lamb(Christ,the Son of God).

there is only One God who has a Son. He is the Son of God, not God the Son

all in heaven are in unity to this revelation

What does that even mean? No wisdom is shared there, just words, like most of the bible.
