These are Koine Greek forms (the "common" dialect of Greek used in Hellenistic and Roman antiquity).

Το αρνίον is neutral.
Ο αμνός is masculine.

Yes I know, Thanks for your reply. So why does it imply 'he' or 'his' to the neuter noun in revelation (αρνίον) when it should read 'it'.? αμνός is not used in revelation. Context cant be used here, because that would imply understanding before translating.
I have not studied revelation in depth and I cannot answer this.  If you write the sentence (from the revelation), then maybe I will understand your question better.
