After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Revelation 4 (KJV)

When the world gets too demonically wicked

for the redeemed who love Jesus Christ

with all their souls, hearts, minds, and

lives, look to our Triune God’s royal,

imperial, victorious throne room of

mercy, grace, forgiveness love, wisdom,

wrath and truth, and rejoice. For Christ has

conquered all and we are Christ’s and Christ

is ours! And no one can ever snatch us out

of His precious, blessed, nail-pierced hands!

May we like the elders around the throne

room ceaselessly praise and proclaim as they

do, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and

honor and power: for thou hast created all things,

and for thy pleasure, they are and were created.”

As we daily look to the Cross and to Jesus, and

immerse ourselves in the Holy Scriptures and prayer,

may we sense, understand, rehearse, and believe

that Christ in us is truly the hope of glory! As we

set our minds above and not on things of the earth,

may we rejoice in the immensity of the throne room in

Heaven and rejoice with jubilant glorying, and conquering

praise to our God, to our Savior, and to our Holy Spirit who

triumphantly reigns in Heaven and on Earth! Look to the Cross!

Look to Jesus. Look to the Word. Look to the blessed, victorious

throne room of Heaven, lift up your voice and rejoice as we triumphantly

proclaim our Triune God victoriously reigneth over all the earth. May we

as His redeemed warriors prepare as we through prayer enter His throne

room of grace and receive grace upon grace, upon grace, upon glory, upon glory,

upon glory, upon victory, upon victory, upon victory, as we look unto our soon

coming, Savior, Jesus Christ, the one and only King of Kings, and Lord of Lords!
