And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and underneath the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and might be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, for ages of ages. And the four animals said, Amen. And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives for ages of ages. (Revelation 5:13-14)

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and honor, and glory, signifies confession from the heart, that the Lord as to the Divine Human has omnipotence, omniscience, Divine good, and Divine truth. “To say with a great voice,” signifies confession from the heart; “Thou art worthy,” signifies that in Him are the things which follow; “The Lamb” signifies the Lord as to the Divine Human; “power” signifies the Divine power, which is omnipotence; “riches and wisdom,” signify Divine knowledge and wisdom, which are omniscience; “honor and glory,” signify the Divine good and the Divine truth. That “riches” signify the knowledges of good and truth, and thus science, may be seen above (Apocalypse Revealed 288)

And every created thing which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, signifies confession and glorification of the Lord by the angels of the lowest heavens.

(Apocalypse Revealed 290)

And the four animals said, Amen, signifies Divine confirmation from the Word. “The four animals” or cherubs signify the Word…. (Apocalypse Revealed 292)
