Revelation 4:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 4:7

5 And from the throne proceeded ^alightnings, thunderings, and voices. ^bSeven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are ^cthe seven Spirits of God.

6 Before the throne there¹ was ^aa sea of glass, like crystal. ^bAnd in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.

7 ^aThe first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

8 The four living creatures, each having ^asix wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
^b“Holy,¹ holy, holy,
^cLord God Almighty,
^dWho was and is and is to come!”

9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, ^awho lives forever and ever,

10 ^athe twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

11 “You^a are worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
^bFor You created all things,
And by ^cYour will they exist and were created.”
