^5:14 The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the leaders bowed and worshiped.

The four living creatures said, “Amen!”1

This is acknowledgment by the highest ranking angels, 'created beings', that the LAMB is absolutely WORTHY!

Why the acknowledgment of creation that the LAMB is worthy of all power, all wisdom, all strength, all honor, all glory, and all blessing? Because it :

• justifies the Lord in pouring out His terrible wrath/judgment in the following chapters. Romans 3:1-6
• shows the right of the Lamb to deal with the earth as its Creator. Genesis 18:23-25
• shows that ONLY the Lamb overcame death. 1 John 5:6-11-12

You may not accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, that is your choice. ALL will acknowledge Him as Lord God, that is GOD'S CHOICE!

Then the leaders BOWED and WORSHIPED.
