What does Revelation 5:13 mean?

This verse records the ultimate adoration Jesus and God the Father will receive when the whole earth is restored to its original sin-free condition. Romans 8:21–22 informs us "that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now." At that time every living person and thing will acknowledge the Lamb's indisputable right to reign throughout eternity as king. Together, they will ascribe to the Father and Son "blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!"

This praise will bring a positive response to the command given in Psalm 148:7–13: "Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy wind fulfilling his word! Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars! Beasts and all livestock, creeping things and flying birds! Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! Young men and maidens together, old men and children! Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven."
