Heavenly Praises

Rev. 5: 14

And the four living creatures said, Amen! and the elders fell down and worshiped.

I can only imagine how John felt viewing these phenomenal scenes. How they must have stirred his emotions! The scene continues as he sees a scroll in the hand of Him who was on the throne, a scroll written on all sides and sealed with 7 seals. No one was found in heaven or earth to open the scroll. John began weeping until he was told that the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, had conquered and was able to open the scroll and its 7 seals. Praise God!

Between the throne and the 4 living creatures, stood a Lamb looking as if He had been slain, with 7 horns and 7 eyes which are the 7 spirits of God sent out into the world. When the Lamb took the scroll, the 4 living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb each holding a harp and golden bowls of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

  And they sang a new song saying,

 "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,

and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

Just as John is drinking in all this, he heard more voices praising the Lamb. Not only the living creatures and the elders were singing, but now the voices of many angels [myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands] saying,  

And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!"

And the four living creatures said, Amen! and the elders fell down and worshiped.

What a scene! John's senses were thoroughly assaulted! There was nothing to be done but watch and record. The power, majesty, and worship were unparalleled. And one day I will be joining the thousands in singing praise to the Lamb and to our God.

Father,

Thank You for allowing me to glimpse the future. You are all glorious! The Lamb is all glorious! Nothing else compares at all. Keep my heart full of praise!

In and through the Lamb,

Amen
