How Christ's Ministry Breaks the Seals

In Revelation 5, Christ, as the slain Lamb is found worthy.  We may see in Isaiah 61 and 62 how He blesses His people through the opening of the seals.  At the beginning of His ministry, He read part of this passage in the Synagogue (Luke 4:16-21) lu0416ff.  You may find more parallels. Numbers in parentheses show specific correspondence between descriptions in Revelation and in Isaiah.
