Revelation 5:13-14

13 And I heard every created thing in heaven and on earth and under the earth [in Hades, the place of departed spirits] and on the sea and all that is in it, crying out together, To Him Who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb be ascribed the blessing and the honor and the majesty (glory, splendor) and the power (might and dominion) forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities)!
·         Everyone will confess that Jesus as Lord.
·         No one can deny the Truth that Jesus was and still is victorious! Even those who are in Hades, who denied Him when they were alive cannot deny Him. Also notice that those who are in Hades confess and are aware of what is happening. There are those who believe that when we die, we fall asleep and are unaware of what is happening. Not so, whether we are in Hades or in Heaven, those whose flesh has died still have spirits that are alive and aware. We will see this Truth again in later chapters.
·         And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, who kept talking with Him. Then Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good and delightful that we are here; if You approve, I will put up three booths here—one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah. Matthew 17:3-4   
14 Then the four living creatures (beings) said, Amen (so be it)! And the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] prostrated themselves and worshiped Him Who lives forever and ever.
·         We are now five Chapters into Revelation and I want you to notice that we haven’t heard much about the wrath. We have seen a lot of glory and a lot of telling us of our unity and victory through Christ.
·         Also notice that nothing in Revelation has been all that complicated.
