OUR FATHER WHO CREATED ALL THINGS AND IS WORTHY OF GLORY AND HONOR FOREVER

The book of Revelation chapter 4 verse 11 says this;

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

The Apostle John, having been summoned into heaven in the spirit, found himself in the midst of an extraordinary scene where a person whose appearance was like that of Jasper and ruby, sat upon a heavenly throne. An arch of emerald spanned over the throne and peals of thunder and flashes of lightening emanated from it.

Before the throne were seven brightly burning lampstands which are the sevenfold Spirits of God. As well, a transparent sea of glass was also in front of the throne.

Close around the throne were four remarkable six - winged living creatures that were covered with eyes on all sides. One was like a lion, the other like a bull. Yet another one was like a human and the fourth was like an eagle.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones on which 24 elders sat and these were dressed in white attire and wore gold crowns.

The four creatures continually said these words out of Revelation chapter 4 verse 8;

“‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.”

Each time the four creatures spoke these words, the 24 elders would fall prostrate before the throne to worship the One who was upon it and they laid down their crowns before Him who sat on the throne and said;

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

These words declared the absolute supremacy of the eternal Lord Jesus  and the centrality of His will in the creation of everything that exists.

Amen.
