5:6 The Jews expected the Messiah to appear as a conquering lion. Instead, Jesus came as a Lamb (John 1:29, 36; Acts 8:32-35; 1 Cor 5:7; 1 Pet 1:19). The Lamb that had been slaughtered but was now standing refers to Jesus’ death and resurrection.
• The Lamb’s seven horns represent his complete power, and the seven eyes represent his complete knowledge (see Zech 4:10). He is also fully related to the perfect Spirit of God (Rev 1:4).
