As seen in Revelation chapter 4, The four living creatures around the throne of God are locked in eternal worship by the overwhelming beauty of the one on the throne. This passage was one which always had me hit the eject button when attempting to read Revelation before I was a believer. It was just to bizarre a scene, I mean, they look kind of like certain creatures but are covered with eyes and have six wings….
This scene must have been beyond words for John as he was caught up to the very throne room of the creator.
The song is even more powerful in the Passion translation:
Holy, holy,holy is the Lord God the Almighty!
The Was, the Is, and the Coming!
All of these times are contained in Him:
He is the whole source of the beginning, the original source of everything that was created. In Him all things began and find their Genesis. Through His marvelous deeds all that WAS came into being.
By His power everything that exists now is held together and finds it continual life force energized. He sustains all things to make the present possible he’s the one who enables the IS.
He has laid out the plan for the ages and has already been there to see it accomplished. That’s why He knows our future and knows His plans for our good do indeed come to pass. He’s even told us before hand through His prophets what is COMING and how glorious will be the future.
So back to the creatures around the throne, you know the ones filled with eyes. They can’t help seeing the Lord of All no matter where they turn in their endless worship. Every time the look they see His glory and since He’s infinite the never see the same thing twice. How else would they respond but in endless worship? Think of it, every time they look He is greater and mor beautiful than the last time, and that last time blew their minds……
Papa, let me have a glimpse of your beauty that captivates the ones in the Throne Room.
