@civic,
now that YOU fellas NOW KNOW that it's the Lord Jesus who sits on the THRONE, now dilemma, or Revelation TIME.
if the Lord Jesus Sits on the THRONE, who is the LAMB in Chapter 5 that stands, not Sit, but STAND before the Throne..... Note, not Lamb of God standing before the Throne, but the "LAMB" ..... so who is the LAMB.... Oh this is Just too Good.

is this a Bible quiz?
You have answered none of the questions and you seem to have a problem with reading comprehension.
Rev 5:6 And I saw, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a lamb standing as being slain, having [horns seven] and [eyes seven]; which are the seven spirits of God being sent into all the earth.
And I saw between the Kes (Throne) and the Arbah Chayyot (four living beings) and among the Zekenim (Elders, SHEMOT 12:21) a SEH (Lamb, YESHAYAH 53:7, Moshiach) having stood as having been slain, having sheva karnayim (horns, omnipotence), sheva eynayim (eyes, omniscience), which are the sheva ruchot (spirits) of Hashem having been sent into kol ha'aretz (all the earth).
5:6 "a Lamb standing" This concept of a sacrificial Lamb (i.e., baby lamb, arnion) depicts the vicarious atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Lamb is mentioned throughout the book of the Revelation (cf. Rev. 5:6,8,12,13; 6:1,16; 7:9,10,14,17; 12:11; 13:8; 14:1,4(twice),10; 15:3; 17:14; 19:7,9; 21:9,14,22,23,27; 22:1,3). The sacrificial metaphor is from
1. the Passover Lamb (Exodus 12)
2. one of the lambs that was sacrificed daily in the morning and evening (the continual, cf. Exod. 29:38-46; Num. 28:3,6,10,23,31; 29:11,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,38)
3. the slain lamb of Isa. 53:7 or John 1:7,29
This metaphor is used of Jesus in two distinct senses: (a) as an innocent sacrificial victim and (b) as the overcoming victor (also found in Jewish apocalyptic literature, cf. I Enoch 90:9; Testament of Joseph 19:8-9). In the NT only John the Baptist in John 1:29,36 and John in Revelation 5:6,8,12,13; 61:1, refer to Jesus as "Lamb" (Paul asserts this, but without the term in 1 Cor. 5:7).
"as if slain"
He was dead but now alive. The Messiah's resurrection is parodied by the sea beast (cf. Rev. 13:3).
