The book is traditionally attributed to John the Apostle,[1][2] but the precise identity of the author remains a point of academic debate.

Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are among others:[5][a] The sealed scroll or book (Biblical Greek: βιβλιον, romanized: biblion) is introduced, which will be unsealed step by step in chapter 6 and finally opened with the breach of the seventh seal in Revelation 8:1.

"The idea of the book in which the decrees of the Divine government appear written occurs already in Psalm 139:16 and in Exodus 32:32".

[9] Only John is proven worthy to open the scroll which contains 'God's secret plan for the coming of his kingdom on earth'.
