Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 5:7

7 And he came and took the book out of of the right hand of him that sate upon the throne .

This Lamb with seven Horns, and seven Eyes having been slain, and having prevailed with his Father to open this Book, mentioned v. 1. of all the Secrets, Counsels, and Purposes of God relating to his Church, he came and took it of his Father,

in whose Right-hand it was, as v. 1. From hence to the end of this Chapter, are nothing but Songs sang by the living Creatures which Iohn saw, and the twenty four Elders which he saw, and an innumerable Company of Angels, to the Honour and Glory of Jesus Christ, as the Redeemer of Man, and the Head of the Church, upon this taking of the Book from the Right-hand of his Father.
