- The four living creatures around the throne
- The twenty-four elders who lay down their crowns and their hymn
- Why the scroll cannot be opened
- The lamb having seven horns and seven eyes.
- Why the lamb’s blood ransoms people
- John’s high christology which parallels the lamb with the one on the throne
