Revelation 5:11-14 ESV
11 Then I looked, and heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
“ Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying,
“To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”
14 And the four living creatures kept saying, “ Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.
Surrounding the throne and elders is the heavenly host of angels who give witness to the power and glory of God. They proclaim the sevenfold fullness of the risen Savior.
Power
Riches
Wisdom
Might
Honor
Glory
Blessing
Then all creatures in heaven and earth give praise to the Father and Son, repeating three of the previous accolades, but adding a
unique fourth of their own.
Honor
Glory
Blessing
Dominion
The additional reward received by Christ is dominion. All creatures in heaven and earth acknowledge Him as King. The sevenfold dimensions and descriptions apply to the Father and Son. The Father has given the Son dominion over all creatures.
