Lamb of God
שֵׂה הָאֱלֹהִים
'Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world' — Passover, the Akedah, and Isaiah 53 gathered into one title.
Revelation's throne room sings to the Lamb nearly thirty times — the NT's most sustained worship title. Behind it stand Abraham's answer on Moriah, Egypt's doorposts, and Isaiah's silent sufferer. The Lamb standing 'as though slain' is Christianity's central paradox: the wound become the glory.
