📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John during his exile on the island of Patmos, this verse is part of a visionary description of heaven where God sits on a throne holding a sealed scroll that represents His divine plan for judgment and redemption. The "he" refers to Jesus, portrayed as the Lamb who is worthy to take the scroll, highlighting His role as the victorious conqueror in God's redemptive story. This scene draws from Old Testament imagery of God's sovereignty to emphasize the continuity of God's plan through Christ.
