And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on
the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals
(Revelation 5:1).
This 3D animation represents the scroll of Revelation Chapter five.
The scroll was modeled after photographs of scrolls from ancient
Jewish Synagogues. The Jewish Scriptures were
written on scrolls rather than books.
Printing in books with a press, such as the Gutenberg press,
didn't become common until somewhere between 1480 and 1500.
The book of Revelation was written around the late first century AD.
Therefore the book
, of Revelation chapter 5, was a scroll.
Seals were often placed on the inside of the scroll. Break an internal
seal to unroll a section of the scroll. Break the next seal
to unroll and read the next section of the scroll.
The seven seals on the scroll of Revelation represent sequentially
revealing God's end time events from His book.

The scroll was modeled, mapped, and rendered with 3ds Max
after photographs of scrolls from ancient Jewish Synagogues.
Animation with music were combined with After Effects.
