One of the selections in Handel's Messiah is based on Revelation 5:12 where an angelic choir of 100 million angels sings, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing." In this sermon Mr. Smith asks and answers the question, what caused this great choir to sing these words? He shows from the context that it relates to Jesus being found worthy to open the scroll in God's right hand. That scroll shows the steps by which God will take back from Satan rulership of this world.
