ministers possess both. They are made righteous through the blood of the
everlasting covenant and are given power over all the power of the enemy
and authority to heal the sick and to cast out devils.

The entire company are engaged in worshiping God unceasingly, the elders
casting their crowns before the throne, thus ascribing all praise,
honor, and glory to Him who has delegated to them the authority they
possess. And may we, my brethren, never grow weary in well-doing and
conclude that the worship of God grows monotonous; but let us, with
heart and soul, join the universal chorus, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God
Almighty."




CHAPTER V.


And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book
written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

2. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who
is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3. And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth,
was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and
to read the book, neither to look thereon.
