(Rev. 5:6‑13)
 With verse 13 there begins the central chapter of the last 27. As before pointed out, the 27 divide into three sections of 9 chapters; each section ending with solemn judgment upon the wicked 48:22; 57:21; 66:24. In this central chapter of the central section we reach the supreme height of the prophecy, and are at once confronted with one of the greatest of the Divine paradoxes, since at the same time we touch the deepest depths into which the Messiah descended for our sakes. (Isaiah 52 by F.B. Hole)
