The Lamb comes forth





και εις εκ των πρεσβυτερων λεγει μοι μη κλαιε ιδου ενικησεν ο λεων ο ων εκ της φυλης ιουδα η ριζα δαβιδ ανοιξαι το βιβλιον και λυσαι τας επτα σφραγιδας αυτου

kai eis ek twn presbuterwn legei moi mh klaie idou enikhsen o lewn o ek ths fulhs iouda h riza dauid anoixai to biblion kai tas epta sfragidas autou

Rev 5.5 And one of the elders said to me, Do not weep. Behold, the Lion being of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame so as to open the scroll, and to loose its seven seals.
