What Does Revelation 5:13 Mean?

Now the praise overflows every boundary. The same realms that earlier held no one worthy, heaven and earth and under the earth and the sea, are filled with voices. John hears every creature joining in, so that all that lives lends its voice to the song.

And the praise is offered to both: to Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, together, for ever and ever. The One who was slain receives the same eternal honor as the One on the throne. Where the chapter began with a single unanswered question, it now closes with the whole of creation united in unending worship of God and of the Lamb.
