In the heavenly realm, God Almighty sat majestically on His throne, surrounded by a multitude of angels. The throne was radiant, emanating a light so pure and bright that it illuminated the entire expanse of heaven. The angels, with their wings spread wide, sang praises and worshipped the Lord with all their hearts.
Revelation 4:2-3: “At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.”
The angels, each with a unique appearance, reflected the glory of God. Some had faces like lions, others like oxen, some like eagles, and some like men. They were covered with eyes, seeing all and knowing all, as they continuously proclaimed the holiness of God.
Isaiah 6:1-3: “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.’”
The sound of their voices was like the roar of mighty waters, and their songs of worship echoed throughout the heavens. The elders, dressed in white robes and wearing golden crowns, bowed down before the throne, casting their crowns at the feet of the Almighty.
Revelation 4:10-11: “The twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: ‘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.’”
In the midst of the throne, there was a sea of glass, clear as crystal, reflecting the glory of God and the worship of the angels. The throne was surrounded by a rainbow, a symbol of God’s covenant and promise.
Ezekiel 1:26-28: “Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.”
As the angels continued to worship, the heavens were filled with the fragrance of incense, symbolizing the prayers of the saints. The glory of God was so overwhelming that even the angels covered their faces with their wings, unable to fully behold His majesty.
Revelation 8:3-4: “Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.”
And thus, in the presence of God Almighty, the angels and the saints worshipped and adored Him, forever proclaiming His holiness and glory.
