THE REVELATION TO ST. JOHN
CHAPTER
4
¹ After this I looked, and there in heavens a door stood open! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place this."
(The Revelation to St. John Chapter 4 verse 1)
Oh God, my beloved Father, even though You did not reveal to me secrets of this world, when You spoke to me I was totally shocked and traumatized because I had never witnessed such power Amen.
² At once I was in the spirit, and there in heaven stood a throne, with one seated on the throne!
(The Revelation to St. John Chapter 4 verse 2)
Once we are under the influence of Your Holy Spirit, we are open to all Your revelations, about anything You wish to share with us, about ourselves and about things that are to take place in the present or near future, for You my God and Father there is no present past and future but only now the present and the end of times Amen.
³ And the one seated there looks like Jasper and carnelian, and around the throne is a rainbow that looks like an emerald.
(The Revelation to St. John Chapter 4 verse 3)
Oh God my Father as humans we can only imagine your beauty and majesty for we have never saw You in a state of beauty and majesty, however with the help of the revelations that You gave to John You can help us to perceive such a magnificent state Amen.
⁴ Around the throne are twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones are twenty-four elders, dressed in white robes, with golden crowns on their heads.
(The Revelation to St. John Chapter 4 verse 4)
Oh God, my Father, it is great to have such a big and positive support group. They receive energy from You and vice versa, I wish to receive such positive energy from You as well even though I am not a member of the 24. I thank You for giving me the group of 30 + for singles for they are also very supportive to me. Thanks, Jesus Amen.
⁵ Coming from the throne are flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and in front of the throne burn seven flaming torches, which are the seven spirits of God; ⁶ and in front of the throne there is something like a sea of glass, like crystal. Around the throne, and on each side, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind.
(The Revelation to St. John Chapter 4 verses 5 to 6)
Oh God my Father as humans we can never imagine Your throne and the powerful sounds coming from Your throne, however, when I experienced Your voice it was very powerful. Your kingdom is one that we will experience in the years to come. I pray that I am worthy of living in such an experience. Amen.
⁷ the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with a face like a human face, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.
(The Revelation to St. John Chapter 4 verse 7)
Oh God my Father, many people say that these living creatures are symbolic in nature and the imagery represents the evangelists Matthew Mark Luke and John. However they seem to reflect Your might and divine qualities, Your might and power as in the image of the lion, Your majesty as in the image of the eagle, the ox with all its strength and determination, and last of all Your love and humility as reflected in the image of the human being Amen.
⁸ And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and inside. Day and night without ceasing they sing,
"Holy, holy, holy the Lord God the Almighty who was and is and is to come."
(The Revelation to St. John Chapter 4 verse 8)
Oh God my Father You are really and truly the holy God Almighty. You know me inside out like nobody else. You know my strengths and You know my weaknesses. I give You thanks and praise, for You are worthy of both Amen
Let us all join in the following song and prayer credited to HIS CHILD Sajl by clicking on the below image. Amen and give praise and worship to God Almighty.
⁹ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, ¹⁰ the twenty four elders fall before the one seated on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever; they cast their crowns before the throne singing,
¹¹ "You are worthy, our Lord and God; to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created."
(The Revelation to St. John Chapter 4 verses 9 to 11)
Oh glory glory and more glory to You my God and Father, indeed you are more than worthy to be praised. When we pray we are in union with elders and saints in heaven Amen praise be to You my God and Father Amen.
Dear God and Father, I would like to end this reflection on the fourth chapter of the book of Revelations to John with the following prayer:-
In front of the angels I praise You, on earth I crave for You, among my brothers and sisters I meet You, when serving, I serve You, when loving I love You, when caring I care for You, when working I work for and with You, blessed be Your name forever Amen
